It's Monday, September 21st, and this is Evening Wire.
One of the biggest battles yet between the press and the president is shaping up in the U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C. CNN, MSNOW, and Politico filed suit against President Trump this morning after each outlet was barred from the White House press room. The president said on Friday that journalists for each of the outlets would have their press passes revoked, quote, as a result of their constant reporting fake news. Over the weekend, the outlets accused Trump of violating their First Amendment rights. In the suit, the outlets asked the court for a restraining order to allow their reporters immediately back in the press room while the court fight plays out. Amid the backlash, Trump stood by his decision on Monday.
He said that while he supports a free press, the, quote, fake news has grown like cancer in our beloved United States of America.
The U.N. is meeting in New York this week to cover a whole host of issues. Here with the details is contributor Tim Pierce.
The UN General Assembly will begin its annual session in New York this week to discuss issues such as conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East and disruptions in the global energy supply. But at the top of that list for the first time is the competition over AI. According to the New York Times, global leaders intend to push for restrictions on AI development over fears of what the new technology could do.
How is the Austin immigration shooting influencing ICE policy debates in Washington?
That strategy could run headlong into the White House's current hands-off approach to AI development, which President Trump said is necessary to stay competitive with China. The president is planning to be in New York for the General Assembly, and he will kick off his stay with a Monday meeting with Mayor Zoran Mamdani. It is the third time the two have met and the second since Mamdani became mayor of the president's hometown. Mamdani's office has said the meeting is about issues affecting New York City and New Yorkers.
Protesters gathered in Austin on Sunday after immigration officers shot and wounded an illegal immigrant from Venezuela working as a door dash driver. According to immigration officials, officers were conducting targeted operations in the city when they came across a vehicle registered to Wilbur Rafael Garces Perez, who had a deportation order. Officers questioned Garces Perez before he fled in his car. A bystander later captured video of Garces Perez jumping out of his vehicle under an overpass before several shots rang out.
Holy . Whoa. Oh my
God. Austin's police chief said in a press conference that the shooting occurred, quote, after a small foot pursuit. The 28-year-old Garces Perez was hospitalized before being released into ICE custody.
Backlash to the Austin shooting has reverberated in D.C. as well, as Democrats call for body cam footage and independent probes into Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
What impact could Italy’s new limits on foreign students and face‑coverings have on European education?
Congressman Greg Kossar of Texas sent a letter to the Department of Homeland Security demanding ICE retain all video and information on the shooting. He also called for an end to immigration operations in Austin.
