Quick Hits: Today’s Top Stories

• El Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele said Monday that he would not return Kilmar Abrego Garcia—an immigrant who was deported to an El Salvador prison due to an “administrative error” last month—to the United States. “How can I return him to the United States? Like if I smuggle him into the United States?” Bukele said during an Oval Office visit, claiming that he had “no power” to return Garcia, who is a Salvadoran national. The Supreme Court upheld a lower court ruling requiring the U.S. government to “facilitate” Abrego Garcia’s return last week, but the Trump administration has argued the decision over whether to expatriate the detainee lies with El Salvador. 
• Cody Balmer, the Pennsylvania man facing charges connected to an arson attack at Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro’s residence, is being treated at a hospital for an unrelated medical event, according to police. While the motives for the attack remain unclear, court documents have shown that Balmer told police he planned on beating Shapiro with a hammer after breaking into the mansion. His mother told reporters Monday that Balmer had bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, but was not taking his medication. Politicians of both parties condemned the attack, with Republican Sen. Dave McCormick of Pennsylvania calling it an “assault on democracy.”
• Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg testified Monday in an antitrust trial, the first held under President Donald Trump’s Federal Trade Commission, in which government lawyers accused Meta of establishing a monopoly over social media. By acquiring the social media platforms Whatsapp and Instagram while they were still start-ups, Meta established a monopoly over the market for social networking, FTC lawyers said. In defense of his company, Zuckerberg testified that the social media market was larger than the government’s definition of demand for services that connect friends and family. Zuckerberg also argued that Meta, which owns Facebook, faced competition from companies like TikTok. 
• Harvard University said Monday that it would refuse to comply with a list of Trump administration demands that it make significant reforms to its governance and operations. An administration task force charged with investigating allegations of antisemitism across dozens of American universities made extensive demands of Harvard, including ending all diversity and inclusion programs, submitting to external audits of a range of departments, and refusing admission to international students “hostile to American values.” The Trump administration threatened to pull roughly $9 billion in federal grants and funding if these conditions were not met. Following Harvard’s statement on Monday, the White House announced plans to freeze more than $2 billion in multi-year grants to the Ivy League university.
• In a Sunday post on Truth Social, President Trump wrote that he had a “hope” that the Federal Communications Commission would block the merger of CBS parent Paramount Global with Skydance Media, after he was apparently angered by an episode of CBS’ 60 Minutes, which included reports on Ukraine and Greenland, that aired over the weekend. “Hopefully, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), as headed by its Highly Respected Chairman, Brendan Carr, will impose the maximum fines and punishment,” wrote Trump, after recounting his unrelated and ongoing suit against CBS and 60 Minutes.
