Judge says Los Angeles prosecutor appointed by Trump is not serving legally
The Guardian reported that a judge ruled a Trump‑appointed U.S. prosecutor in Los Angeles is not serving legally.
The Guardian reported that a judge ruled a Trump‑appointed U.S. prosecutor in Los Angeles is not serving legally. The Department of Justice said it intends to appeal the decision as the administration works to keep president’s ally Bill Essayli in office.
Reuters reported that Flávio Bolsonaro, the right‑wing Brazilian presidential candidate who lost the election to left‑wing incumbent Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, is expected to arrive in Miami on Wednesday after fleeing Brazil. Bolsonaro and his family crossed by land into Argentina, then departed to Ecuador before taking a flight bound for the United States, where the Trump administration’s State Department plans to grant them visas.
Why it matters
The ruling challenges the legitimacy of a high‑profile federal appointment, while Bolsonaro’s planned U.S. entry highlights the intersection of Brazilian politics and U.S. immigration decisions.
