US News Roundup

The Supreme Court let the Trump administration resume "third-country" deportations while the case proceeds, allowing migrants with final removal orders to be sent to nations other than their own even when they weren't born there. The divided Court issued an unsigned order Tuesday overriding a Boston appeals court injunction that had required migrants get adequate notice and a chance to raise fears of persecution or torture before being removed to a third country; the three liberal justices did not file a public dissent. Attorney General Todd Blanche called the policy "an entirely lawful and a critical tool for immigration enforcement," while Trina Realmuto of the National Immigration Litigation Alliance warned it lets the government "resume sending people to third countries where they face persecution or torture." More than 25,000 migrants have been sent to third countries under the policy since February 2025; the Supreme Court is set to hear full arguments in December.

A congressional watchdog ruled the Trump administration cannot legally withhold more than $800 million in spending that Congress already approved. The Government Accountability Office found that the administration's attempt to use a rarely invoked "pocket rescission" to cancel funding from 11 appropriations accounts — covering refugee and unaccompanied-minor programs at Health and Human Services, migrant-student programs at the Department of Education, a DOJ office focused on racial tensions, minority business development, and HUD housing counseling — violated the Impoundment Control Act. The GAO's general counsel wrote that withholding funds past their expiration date "subverts both the constitutional process for enacting federal law and Congress's constitutional power of the purse." The administration announced the cuts with only five days left in the fiscal year and Congress out of session, and the GAO says the money must now be released; Senate leaders expect the dispute to end up in court.

Congress sent a bill to President Trump's desk that would end production of the penny after 234 years. The Senate passed the Common Cents Act on Monday following House approval, officially halting new one-cent coins for circulation and letting businesses round cash transactions to the nearest nickel — amounts ending in 1, 2, 6 or 7 cents round down, and 3, 4, 8 or 9 round up — though rounding stays optional and applies only to cash. The push follows years of complaints that the penny costs more to make than it's worth: in 2024 the Mint spent about 3.69 cents to produce each one, a total of $85.3 million for 3.2 billion coins, a gap that's held for 19 straight years. Existing pennies keep their legal-tender status and more than 300 billion remain in circulation; ending production is expected to save about $56 million a year.

A federal judge ended 23 years of court oversight of the Oakland Police Department, closing the books on the longest-running federal police monitoring program in U.S. history. U.S. District Judge William Orrick dismissed the case Tuesday, saying "it's important for the federal court to get out of the way" and that oversight should now come from the community. The monitoring began in 2003 after the "Riders" scandal, in which officers were accused of beating and framing Black and Latino men; attorney John Burris, who helped bring the original suit, said he still has "concerns" but is comfortable stepping back — and would sue again if problems return. Oakland's civilian police commission now takes over oversight duties, though community members have raised concerns about whether it's funded well enough for the job.

Extreme weather squeezed the country from both coasts. In the Southwest, the remnants of history-making Hurricane Polo kept dumping Pacific moisture on New Mexico and Arizona, with flash-flood warnings, water rescues and burn-scar areas near Ruidoso under renewed threat as rivers and arroyos run high. In the Northeast, a powerful nor'easter brought another round of flooding and gusty winds from New Jersey up through New England, snarling commutes and pushing coastal communities to watch high tides closely as already-saturated ground struggles to absorb more rain.

한국어 요약

연방대법원이 트럼프 행정부의 '제3국 추방' 정책을 소송이 진행되는 동안 재개하도록 허용했습니다. 최종 추방 명령을 받은 이민자를 본국이 아닌 제3국으로 보낼 수 있게 하는 이 정책은, 보스턴 항소법원이 요구했던 사전 통지 및 박해·고문 우려 제기 절차를 뒤집는 대법원의 무기명 명령으로 화요일 재개됐습니다. 진보 성향 대법관 3인은 공개 반대의견을 내지 않았습니다. 토드 블랜치 법무장관은 이를 "완전히 합법적이며 이민 단속에 필수적인 수단"이라고 밝혔고, 반대 측은 이민자들이 박해나 고문 위험이 있는 나라로 보내질 수 있다고 우려했습니다. 2025년 2월 이후 2만5000명 이상이 이 정책에 따라 제3국으로 보내졌으며, 대법원은 12월에 본안 변론을 진행할 예정입니다.

의회 감시기구인 회계감사원(GAO)은 트럼프 행정부가 의회가 이미 승인한 예산 중 8억 달러 이상을 취소할 법적 권한이 없다고 판단했습니다. 행정부가 드물게 사용되는 '포켓 취소' 방식으로 난민·미동반 미성년자 지원, 이민 학생 프로그램, 소수민족 기업 지원, 주택 상담 등 11개 예산 계정의 지출을 취소하려던 시도가 예산통제법을 위반했다는 것입니다. GAO는 회계연도 종료를 닷새 앞두고 의회가 휴회 중일 때 이런 조치를 발표한 점을 지적하며 해당 예산을 반드시 집행해야 한다고 밝혔고, 상원 지도부는 이 문제가 결국 법정으로 갈 것으로 보고 있습니다.

의회가 234년 만에 1센트 동전(페니) 생산을 중단하는 법안을 트럼프 대통령에게 보냈습니다. 상원은 월요일 '커먼 센츠법'을 통과시켜 신규 페니 주조를 중단하고, 현금 거래 시 5센트 단위로 반올림할 수 있도록 했습니다. 2024년 기준 페니 하나를 만드는 데 약 3.69센트가 들어 19년 연속 액면가보다 제작비가 더 드는 상황이었으며, 생산 중단으로 연간 약 5600만 달러를 절감할 것으로 예상됩니다. 기존 페니는 계속 법정 통화로 사용할 수 있습니다.

연방판사가 오클랜드 경찰국에 대한 23년간의 연방 감독을 종료했습니다. 이는 미국 역사상 가장 오래 지속된 경찰 감독 프로그램입니다. 윌리엄 오릭 연방판사는 화요일 소송을 기각하며 "연방법원이 물러날 때가 됐다"고 말했고, 앞으로는 지역사회가 감독을 맡아야 한다고 밝혔습니다. 이 감독은 2003년 흑인·라틴계 남성들을 폭행하고 누명을 씌운 '라이더스' 스캔들 이후 시작됐으며, 소송을 제기했던 변호사 존 버리스는 여전히 우려는 있지만 감독 종료에 동의하며 문제가 재발하면 다시 소송을 제기하겠다고 말했습니다.

미국 양쪽 해안이 모두 이상기후로 몸살을 앓고 있습니다. 남서부에서는 역사적 규모의 허리케인 폴로의 잔여 수분이 뉴멕시코와 애리조나에 계속 폭우를 쏟아부으며 산불 피해 지역 인근에서 돌발 홍수와 구조 작업이 이어지고 있습니다. 북동부에서는 강력한 노스이스터(북동풍 폭풍)가 뉴저지부터 뉴잉글랜드까지 다시 한번 홍수와 강풍을 몰고 와 출퇴근길이 마비되고 해안 지역은 만조 상황을 예의주시하고 있습니다.
