President Donald Trump posted an unorthodox Easter message on Truth Social, targeting former President Joe Biden and criticizing "left lunatics" who oppose his mass deportation schemes. Trump blamed Biden's administration for allowing "millions" of migrants into the US under a visa scheme, calling it an "Open Borders Policy that will go down in history as the single most calamitous act ever perpetrated upon America." He also accused Biden of allowing "CRIMINALS" to enter the country and wished him and others who "CHEATED in the 2020 Presidential Election" a Happy Easter.

A Joe Biden-appointed federal judge, Julia Kobick, blocked the Trump administration's policy banning non-binary people from using an X on their passports to identify their gender. The policy was enacted through one of President Trump's executive orders, which narrowed the definition of sexes and prohibited gender transition. Judge Kobick ruled that the government failed to demonstrate a substantially related important governmental interest in its actions and approved the ACLU's motion for a preliminary injunction, staying the action while the lawsuit is litigated.

Vice President JD Vance defended President Trump’s deportation strategy by criticizing "bulls*** arguments" from those demanding due process for illegal immigrants. He argued that providing due process would slow down Trump's efforts to fix the problem and noted that former President Joe Biden allowed approximately 20 million illegal aliens into the country during his four years as president. Vance claimed that Democrats have no solution to the problem of massive illegal immigration, citing the need for drastic action to deport at least a few million people per year. He acknowledged that the system would produce errors, but chose to prioritize enforcing the law despite these mistakes.

California Governor Gavin Newsom has filed a lawsuit challenging President Donald Trump’s tariffs, marking the first time a state has sued over the levies. The suit argues that Trump's use of emergency powers to enact the tariffs exceeds his authority and cites previous Supreme Court rulings against Biden’s student debt forgiveness plan. California is home to a significant portion of US manufacturing and agricultural production, making it disproportionately affected by the tariffs.
