President Donald Trump's second administration continued its swift recasting of the federal government, prompting pushback from Democrats and legal challenges.

The president said Sunday that he will announce tariffs on all imported steel and aluminum on Monday but didn't say when they'll take effect.

Trump, meanwhile, is at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans on Sunday night to take in the Super Bowl. Trump picked the Kansas City Chiefs to beat the Philadelphia Eagles in an interview aired before the game on Fox.

The lawsuit is in response to the Treasury Department allowing Elon Musk and DOGE officials to access sensitive payment systems containing people's personal identifying information, state attorneys general said.

"As the richest man in the world, Elon Musk is not used to being told 'no,' but in our country, no one is above the law. The president does not have the power to give away our private information to anyone he chooses, and he cannot cut federal payments approved by Congress," New York Attorney General Letitia James said.

Border czar Tom Homan details 'well-planned' ICE raids to ABC News

In an exclusive interview with ABC News Live, Trump administration border czar Tom Homan detailed the recent Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids.

"Look, I'm looking at numbers this morning, about 14,000 arrests, and about 76% of them are criminals," he told ABC News' Kyra Phillips and Terry Moran when asked about how many arrests involve people with criminal records other than an illegal entry.

"We're not going to neighborhoods looking for people different than us. These are well-planned, investigated leads," he added.

When asked if the U.S. military could get involved if cartels strike, Homan replied, "Yes, and we expect them to," later adding that U.S. troops "need to protect themselves."

Homan then delivered a strong warning to cartels, saying Trump "is strong enough -- he has the ability to wipe them off the face of the Earth."

The border czar also argued that many migrants are making "fraudulent" asylum claims, asking, "What country is dangerous?" and saying, "They’re really not escaping fear of persecution."

When pressed about how to help those seeking asylum, Homan replied, "What you don’t do to claim asylum is come to the country illegally. You go to a port of entry."

"I'm not confused about Panama," he said. "I respect very much that Panama has a process. They're a democratically elected government, they have rules, they have laws. They're going to follow their process, but our expectations remain the same."

Rubio also argued that the United States' obligation to protect the waterway underscored the argument for lifting fees on American Navy vessels.
