• Trump declares Netanyahu immune from arrest in the United States — Donald Trump posted on Truth Social that Benjamin Netanyahu "will not be arrested, in any way, shape, or form while in the United States of America," despite Netanyahu being subject to an International Criminal Court arrest warrant since November 2024 for alleged war crimes in Gaza. Trump's statement came days after New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani said he was exploring whether his administration could arrest Netanyahu during a potential UN General Assembly visit in September. Trump framed Netanyahu as fighting Iran and suggested Iranian leaders should face arrest instead.

The request sought records concerning the legal and factual bases for HHS restrictions on federal child care and family-assistance funding imposed in December 2025 and January 2026, including communications with state recipients and records concerning alleged fraud allegations. HHS had released no responsive records more than 130 days after submission.

• Trump issues Proclamation 11045 establishing aluminum tariff incentive program for domestic production capacity — President Trump issued Proclamation 11045 modifying the aluminum tariff regime established under section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962.

The proclamation invokes Section 338 of the Tariff Act of 1930, asserting that Canada discriminates against U.S. motor vehicle exports through a 25 percent tariff scheme and tariff-rate quotas that do not apply to other countries' vehicles. The proclamation states U.S. motor vehicle exports to Canada fell approximately 22 percent between April 2025–March 2026 compared to the prior year, while exports from Mexico, Japan, Korea, and Germany to Canada increased. The order directs the Commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection to implement the duties and modify the Harmonized Tariff Schedule accordingly.
• Trump issued proclamation imposing 50% tariff on Canadian dairy products — President Trump signed a proclamation on July 20, 2026, imposing an additional 50 percent ad valorem duty on certain Canadian dairy products, effective August 19, 2026.

The proclamation states that Canadian provinces and territories banned U.S. alcoholic beverages beginning March 2025, reducing U.S. exports by approximately 81 percent (from $718 million to $137 million annually), while imports from other countries increased.

The document claims Canadian imports of U.S. motor vehicles fell 22% ($5.6 billion) and U.S. alcoholic beverages fell 81% ($582 million) year-over-year, and asserts the tariffs will "offset the burden and disadvantage on U.S. commerce."

The action follows Trump's earlier fentanyl-related tariffs on Canada and his complaints about wildfire smoke.

• Trump administration charged hundreds with assaulting federal agents in immigration crackdown — The Trump administration has charged more than 550 people with assaulting or impeding federal agents during its nationwide immigration crackdown. However, a New York Times examination found that nearly half of the more than 400 cases resolved have unraveled: juries acquitted defendants, judges threw out charges, or prosecutors withdrew them. Court records and videos show federal agents were often the first to use physical force, including shoving, tackling, and pepper-spraying. Judges repeatedly chastised prosecutors and immigration agents for misconduct including distorting facts, withholding evidence, and destroying evidence. Officers charged more than two dozen people for merely filming agents or following them. In more than 100 cases, prosecutors did not claim agents were injured.

• DOJ Submits First-Ever Application to 'Zombie' Alien Terrorist Removal Court — Trump's Justice Department filed an application to the Alien Terrorist Removal Court, a decades-old tribunal established in 1996 but never previously used, seeking to expedite deportations of noncitizens deemed "alien terrorists."

• Federal judges appoint Roger Rogoff as U.S. attorney in Seattle; Trump fires him within the hour — A panel of federal judges appointed by five presidents unanimously appointed Roger Rogoff, a former judge and longtime prosecutor, as U.S. attorney for the Western District of Washington to replace a Trump appointee whose 120-day interim term had ended in February. Rogoff took the oath of office at 8:00 a.m. Within one hour, he received an email informing him he was fired. Trump has attempted to circumvent the 120-day statutory limit on interim U.S. attorneys by relabeling appointees as assistant U.S. attorneys while leaving the top position vacant. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche defended Trump's action on social media, stating that district court judges can appoint a temporary U.S. attorney but the president can fire them.
