Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Linda Kenyon.
The Supreme Court is expected to weigh in on whether President Trump can continue construction of his ballroom.
NPR's Deepa Shiveram reports the president states the building of the ballroom will serve multiple purposes.
The Trump administration is arguing that the ballroom was needed to create a, quote,
integrated military complex that houses medical care, a drone port and bomb shelters.
On the other hand, the National Trust for Historic Preservation is saying that the executive branch
doesn't have the authority to transform the White House like this, even for national security purposes.
The president had the entire east wing of the White House knocked down to make room for construction of the ballroom,
exposing the existence of underground military and medical facilities.
The president of Guatemala says his country has accepted more than 2,000 Mexican deportees from the U.S.
This year.
KJZZ's Nina Krasinski reports from Hermosillo, Mexico.
Guatemalan President Bernardo Arevalo says the Mexican nationals deported
there stayed in the country for less than 24 hours.
It's not immediately clear why exactly the US would deport Mexican nationals to Guatemala.
Typically, third country deportations occur when the country of origin has strained
diplomatic relations with the US and refuses to accept deportation flights.
Mexico has accepted tens of thousands of its own citizens who have been deported
since President Trump took office last year, as well as citizens from other countries.
A DHS spokesperson said the Trump administration is utilizing all lawful options in its deportation strategy.
