The start of President Donald Trump's second term has been marked by a flurry of executive orders and challenges to his policies in courts. A federal judge ordered a temporary halt on a White House plan to pause funding for all federal grants and loans. The funding freeze was laid out in a memo from the Office of Management and Budget. Laura Barrón-López reports. PBS News is supported by - https://www.pbs.org/newshour/about/funders…
 
The Trump administration ended week one with a mass firing of inspectors general, a weekend uptick of immigration arrests and a day-long fight over deportations and tariffs with Colombia. The president is now meeting with House Republicans at his golf resort in Miami for their annual strategy retreat. Congressional correspondent Lisa Desjardins reports.

In our news wrap Monday, President Trump signed new executive orders focused on the U.S. military, a 3.8 magnitude earthquake shook northern New England, rain is giving Southern California firefighters a much-needed break after weeks of dry and windy conditions and the acting U.S. attorney in Washington is reportedly opening an internal review of the Justice Department's Jan. 6 prosecutions.

In another sweeping move of his second term, President Trump fired more than a dozen inspectors general, the non-partisan watchdogs appointed to protect against abuses of power, waste and mismanagement across federal agencies. White House correspondent Laura Barrón-López discussed the impact with Glenn Fine, former inspector general for the Department of Justice.

President Donald Trump jetted off for the first trip of his second administration to tour one sprawling disaster zone after the other. The president is in California where he'll survey damage from the wildfires that are ravaging the Los Angeles area. But first, he stopped in North Carolina, four months after Hurricane Helene, and threatened the future of FEMA. Laura Barrón-López reports.

The Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina got a major boost in its decades-long fight to become federally recognized. President Trump signed a memo directing the Interior Secretary to submit a plan for full federal recognition of the tribe. That status would unleash hundreds of millions of dollars in support for the 60,000 member Lumbee. Geoff Bennett discussed more with Lumbee chairman John Lowery.

In the days since President Trump's sweeping clemency of Jan. 6 rioters, the federal courts have been busy processing the dismissals.
