Good morning.
It's Wednesday, April 9.

This is Apple News Today.
On today's show,
the point system determining who gets flagged for deportation,
what happens when unaccompanied minors cross the border and meet a lawyer,

But first,
President Trump's latest round of tariffs went into effect overnight,
bringing our total levy against China to at least 104%.
Trump acknowledged that so far his tariffs have been met with a lot of angst,
but insisted that he quote, knows what the hell he's doing.
He also said he would soon impose tariffs on pharmaceuticals, lamenting that America doesn't make our own medicines.
The reaction from Wall Street to Trump's tariff plan has been unequivocally negative.
On Tuesday, the markets closed down for the fourth consecutive day in a row,
and the Wall Street Journal reports that many CEOs are starting to break their silence,
with people from JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon,
to billionaire hedge fund manager and Trump backer Bill Ackman sharply criticizing the moves,
and Republican donor and billionaire Ken Griffin calling them a huge policy mistake.
