The Supreme Court hands Trump a major win. The DOJ says Abrego Garcia will be deported. And the Trump administration investigates an imminent domain battle brewing in New Jersey. I'm Georgia Howe with Daily Wire executive editor John Bickley. It's Friday, June 27th, and this is EVENING Wire.

President Trump has been handed a significant victory by the Supreme Court. Daily Wire deputy managing editor Tim Rice has the latest.

Tim Rice
The court ruled 6 to 3 today that lower courts in most cases can issue injunctions, but not universal ones. The decision marks a major shift in how executive actions can be challenged. Writing for the majority, Justice Amy Coney Barrett said federal courts lack broad authority to block presidential orders nationwide unless specifically granted by Congress. Here's George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley.

Justice Barrett is saying that the only way for justices to exercise this type of universal injunction in some of these cases is equitable relief. But she does not find evidence that that type of relief was granted to these judges. So they indicate that the administration is likely to prevail on this issue. All of that is going to be awfully good news for this administration. They have been really hit with these sort of Lilliputian attacks, all these individual district judges effectively freezing federal policy and programs across the country.
- [01:27]
Tim Rice
The ruling stems from challenges to Trump's birthright citizenship order and is expected to reshape how legal battles over executive power unf. The decision could impact hundreds of lawsuits filed against executive actions Trump has taken. Here's the president speaking on the ruling.

Donald Trump
These judges have attempted to dictate the law for the entire nation. In practice, this meant that if any one of the nearly 700 federal judges disagreed with the policy of a duly elected president of the United States, he or she could block that policy from going into effect or at least delay it for many years, tie it up in the court system. I'm grateful to the Supreme Court for stepping in and solving this very, very big and complex problem. And they've made it very simple.

In another ruling, the high court sided with Maryland parents, allowing them to opt their children out of public school lessons involving LGBTQ themes if that content conflicts with their religious beliefs. Daily Wire reporter Miranda Lordy has more.
- [02:28]
Amanda Prese Giacomo
The 6 to 3 decision is seen as a major victory for religious freedom advocates. Writing for the majority, Justice Samuel Alito said public education cannot be conditioned on parents accepting instruction that undermines their faith. The case centered on Montgomery county schools using books with LGBTQ characters and themes in early grades. The parents, Muslim and Christian, argued the lessons violated their religious rights after the school system stopped offering opt outs. The ruling could reshape parental rights in classrooms nationwide. The court also upheld a law in Texas is requiring age verification on pornographic websites.

California governor Gavin Newsom is suing Fox News. The governor claims the network falsely accused him of lying about a phone call with the president during the infamous LA riots last month. During that time, Trump was asked at a press conference, when was the last time he spoke to the governor?
- [03:19]
Donald Trump
A day ago. Called him up to tell him got to do a better job. He's doing a bad job, causing a lot of death and a lot of a lot of potential death.

Newsom reposted that clip saying, quote, there was no call, not even a voicemail. Americans should be alarmed that a president deploying Marines onto our streets doesn't even know who he's talking to. Trump, however, had receipts. The president supplied Fox News with call logs from his phone showing a call that went unanswered and another that lasted 16 minutes. Newsom claims Fox used deceptive edits and false assertions to mislead viewers and damage his reputation. The governor is demanding a retraction and on air apology. Fox has not commented on the lawsuit.

Trump is accusing Democrats of leaking sensitive intelligence about U.S. airstrikes on Iran. Trump said in a social media post Thursday that the leak falsely portrayed the strikes as less effective and called for prosecution, though he didn't name specific individuals. The leak is now under FBI investigation. This comes after CNN and the New York Times reported that the strikes may only have delayed Iran's nuclear program by months. But Trump and his national security team say the facilities were obliterated.

Hamas is preparing attacks on American contractors helping to distribute aid in Gaza. A senior official in the Trump administration has told the Daily Wire that attacks against the US Backed Gaza Humanitarian foundation are a growing concern. Hamas has been credibly accused of stealing humanitarian aid to support their own war effort. The GHF was created to provide aid to hungry Gazans more securely. In a joint statement with other terror groups, Hamas warned aid workers that, quote, all collaborators, thieves and criminal armed gangs are legitimate targets.

The DOJ says alleged MS.13 gang member Kilmar Abrego Garcia will be deported after his release from jail, but not to his native El Salvador. Daily Wire reporter Amanda Prese Giacomo has the latest.
- [05:16]
Amanda Prese Giacomo
A federal prosecutor said Thursday that the Trump administration plans to expel him to a third country, though no timeline has been set. Abrego Garcia faces human trafficking charges and was previously sent to El Salvador before being returned to the US earlier this year by a court order. The Doj says he'll face trial before deportation. His legal team is asking a federal judge to block any removal attempts before a hearing next month. The case has drawn national attention amid legal battles over immigration and public safety.

An Egyptian man who kicked a law enforcement dog off the ground has been deported. The man was traveling through Dulles Airport on Tuesday with over 100 pounds of declared foreign food when the dog alerted Customs and Border Protection officers. The man reacted by kicking the 25 pound beagle named Freddy with enough force to lift him into the air. CBP officers arrested the man, who pleaded guilty in a court appearance on Thursday to harming animals used in law enforcement. The man was ordered to cover the canine's veterinary fee and was deported back to Egypt yesterday afternoon. Freddy is expected to make a full recovery.

Closing arguments continue in the trial of Sean Diddy. Combs. The lead defense attorney accused the prosecution of exaggerating claims of wrongdoing and described Diddy's freak off parties as part of a swinger lifestyle. The defense emphasized the consensual relationship between Diddy and the prosecution star witness Cassie Ventura and denied any coercion or sex trafficking. The defense's arguments are expected to conclude Friday afternoon. A billionaire is promising millions to any candidate capable of beating self described Democratic Socialist Zoran Mamdani. Bill Ackman said on social media he is gravely concerned about New York City after Mamdani's victory, offering hundreds of millions of dollars to any candidate who can beat him. The hedge fund manager says Mamdani won because he ran a good campaign against bad competition, not because New Yorkers love socialism. Ackman said a socialist mayor would be devastating to the city. Mamdani's past career as a RA has come back to haunt him. During a live interview on cnn, Mamdani appeared uncomfortable as he watched the video. He's been in the New York assembly for four years and before that he was an aspiring rapper under the name Mr. Cardamom. Listen, once you do it, it's out there. It never comes back. It's there.

On cnn, Mamdani defended his background and said he will hire the best and brightest as mayor. Ticks are spreading into new regions as warmer winters allow them to stick around longer.

The Trump administration is pushing back on a New Jersey town that wants to seize a 175-year-old family farm. The two brothers who own the farm have been in a months long battle against the Cranberry Township, which is looking to build state mandated affordable housing on the land. Eminent domain grants power to the government to take private property for public use if the owner receives just compensation. The brothers have reportedly declined offers of up to $30 million for the farm. Department of Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins says she's looking into the situation and that the administration desires to protect family farms at all costs.

Anna Winter, the decades long editor in chief of American Vogue, has announced she's stepping down. During her 37 years at the magazine, Winter ran daily operations and elevated up and coming fashion designers. She even served as a strong inspiration for Meryl Streep's character in the Devil Wears Prada. Despite her smashing success for the company, Roger Lynch, Chief Executive, Conde Nast, says she's been working three jobs and that it made sense for her to step away. Winter will now serve as Conde Nast's global chief content officer and global Editorial director of Vogue.

The US Based brand says its mission is more than commerce, it's a cultural movement to revive family values. Here's what EveryLife CEO Sarah Gable Seifert told we feel that our message that strong families build a strong nation is going to shift hearts and minds that South Korea is worth fighting for and the best days are yet to come. EveryLife warns that without a return to pro family ideals, the west may face the same population crisis. And TSA replied to a viral X post this week in which a user joked that while Transportation Security might want a valid identification. His Waffle House ID was the real ID. The post garnered over 2 million views, and TSA responded to it by saying that the Real ID doesn't comply with federal rules and would not be accepted. Many X users weighed in, asking where they could get one of the special Waffle House IDs, or expressing their jealousy of the person behind the post. On May 7, Real ID requirements went into effect and now require travelers to obtain the new identification with a star in the upper right corner. Those are your Drive Home updates this evening.
