President Trump is in Michigan today to promote his plan for "making America affordable again." He'll start with a visit to a Ford factory boosting F-150 production because of tariffs, then speak at the Detroit Economic Club about falling gas prices, lower mortgage rates, and other economic successes.        Minnesota and Illinois are suing the Trump administration in federal court to stop aggressive federal immigration enforcement they say is unconstitutional and terrorizing communities. The lawsuits, filed Monday, seek injunctions to halt the surge of ICE and other Homeland Security officers operating in Minneapolis-St. Paul and Chicago.        New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani says he's outraged after a City Council employee was detained during a routine appointment on Long Island. The employee, described as a data analyst of Venezuelan descent who had legal work authorization, was taken into custody by ICE and is now being held in a Manhattan detention center. Mamdani and other city leaders are calling the detention an "assault on our democracy" and demanding the worker's immediate release, calling it federal overreach.        The Supreme Court is taking up landmark cases on transgender athlete bans today. Justices will hear challenges from Idaho and West Virginia over whether states can bar transgender girls from girls' and women's sports. Decisions in these cases could affect similar laws in about half the country, a hot-button issue that has sparked national debate and was a major topic in President Trump's 2024 campaign.        A Mississippi man is facing federal arson charges for a synagogue fire. Stephen Pittman, 19, allegedly set fire to the Beth Israel synagogue in Jackson early Saturday, targeting it because of its Jewish ties and calling it the "synagogue of Satan." No one was inside at the time, but Pittman suffered life-threatening burns and went to the hospital on his own. He could face up to 20 years in prison.        Apple is partnering with Google to power its AI features. The tech giants announced that Apple will use Google's Gemini AI models for updates to Siri and other Apple Intelligence tools. Apple has relied on ChatGPT models since mid-2024, but Gemini's strong performance in recent benchmarks led to the new multi-year collaboration.
