Storm system to exit US, leaving behind at least 39 dead and vast destruction from tornadoes, wildfires and dust storms

A powerful storm system that tore across the United States in recent days is poised to move offshore into the Atlantic Monday, but in its wake are devastated communities across multiple states hit with violent tornadoes, wildfires and dust storms spun off by the massive system. At least 39 people died in storm-related incidents in seven states, according to officials. Missouri has the highest death toll on record with 12 fatalities, followed by Kansas with eight. Most of Alabama was severely impacted, and at least three died in the state. “Disaster,” one Alabama resident told CNN, when asked to describe the scene. “I’ve seen nothing like this since I was a kid.” The remainder of the rain and storms from the system will move offshore from the Mid-Atlantic early Monday and away from the Northeast by the end of the day.

Timeline: Trump administration's race to deport hundreds of alleged gang members

  While the White House insists it has complied with a recent court order temporarily blocking the president from invoking a rarely used wartime authority, ABC News' review of flight data and court documents suggests the Trump administration ignored the court's ruling. The dispute came after President Donald Trump invoked a centuries-old law that would give him the ability to deport any noncitizen with little to no due process. After a group of noncitizens -- alleged members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua -- sued to prevent their imminent deportations, U.S. District Judge James Boasberg ordered the Trump administration to direct two flights carrying noncitizens back to the United States more than 45 minutes before the first of the two flights landed in Honduras. Both flights carrying noncitizens took off from Valley International Airport in Texas during a break in an emergency court hearing about the legality of the deportations, and the flights were in the air when Judg...

With Deportations, Trump Steps Closer to Showdown With Judicial Branch

Judge James E. Boasberg ordered the Trump administration to cease its use of the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 as a pretext for the expulsion of migrants.Credit...Erin Schaff/The New York Times     March 16, 2025 The Trump administration moved one large step closer to a constitutional showdown with the judicial branch of government when airplane-loads of Venezuelan detainees deplaned in El Salvador even though a federal judge had ordered that the planes reverse course and return the detainees to the United States. The right-wing president of El Salvador, Nayib Bukele, bragged that the 238 detainees who had been aboard the aircraft were transferred to a Salvadoran “Terrorism Confinement Center,” where they would be held for at least a year. “Oopsie … Too late,” Mr. Bukele wrote in a soci...
