WORLD IN BRIEF
tive voters. Just Tuesday, he met privately with
GOP lawmakers and told them he supported the
immigration legislation and would have their
backs in November.
Trump’s history of turnabouts has made it
harder for congressional leaders to win over
other lawmakers for the immigration bill. The
measure would grant young “Dreamer” immi-
grants who arrived in the U.S. illegally as chil-
dren a chance for citizenship — a move many
Republicans worry would enrage conservative
voters who’d view it as amnesty.
Despite Trump’s stance, House Major-
ity Leader Kevin McCarthy said the chamber
would press ahead on legislation next week.
Differences between conservative and moder-
ate Republicans delayed a vote initially planned
for Thursday.
The bill would also require the government
to separate fewer migrant children from parents
when they are detained and finance Trump’s
proposed wall with Mexico.

Justices adopt digital-
age privacy rules to
track cellphones
WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court
ruled today that police generally need a search
warrant if they want to track criminal suspects’
movements by collecting information about
where they’ve used their cellphones, bolstering
privacy interests in the digital age.
The justices’ 5-4 decision marks a big
change in how police may obtain cellphone
tower records, an important tool in criminal
investigations.
Chief Justice John Roberts, joined by the
court’s four liberals, said cellphone loca-
tion information “is detailed, encyclopedic
and effortlessly compiled.” Roberts wrote that
“an individual maintains a legitimate expec-
tation of privacy in the record of his physical
movements” as they are captured by cellphone
towers.
Roberts said the court’s decision is limited
to cellphone tracking information and does not
affect other business records, including those
held by banks.
He also wrote that police still can respond
to an emergency and obtain records without a
warrant.
Justices Anthony Kennedy, Samuel Alito,
Clarence Thomas and Neil Gorsuch each wrote
dissenting opinions. Kennedy wrote that the
court’s “new and uncharted course will inhibit
law enforcement” and “keep defendants and
judges guessing for years to come.”
Roberts does not often line up with his lib-
eral colleagues against a unified front of conser-
vative justices, but digital-age privacy cases can
cross ideological lines, as when the court unan-
imously said in 2014 that a warrant is needed
before police can search the cellphone of some-
one they’ve just arrested.
The court ruled in the case of Timothy Car-
penter, who was sentenced to 116 years in
prison for his role in a string of robberies of
Radio Shack and T-Mobile stores in Michigan
and Ohio. Cell tower records that investigators
got without a warrant bolstered the case against
Carpenter.

GOP: Don’t waste time
on immigration
WASHINGTON — President Donald
Trump told his fellow Republicans in Congress
today to “stop wasting their time” on immigra-
tion legislation until after the November elec-
tions. GOP leaders said they’d press on anyway,

Confusion swirls on border
after Trump reversal on families
McALLEN, Texas — President Donald Trump’s order to stop separating migrant children
from their parents spread confusion along the border, with officials still working on a plan to
reunite families while sending conflicting signals about the state of the administration’s “zero
tolerance” policy.
Parents who remained locked up struggled to get in touch with children being held in many
cases hundreds of miles away. Some said they didn’t even know where their children were.
Others said they had been deported without them.
A senior Trump administration official said that about 500 of the more than 2,300 children
taken from their families at the border in recent weeks have been reunited since May.
Federal agencies are working to set up a centralized reunification process for all remaining
children at a detention center on the Texas side of the border.
There were also signs that the administration is dialing back, for now at least, its “zero tol-
erance” policy of prosecuting all adults caught crossing the border illegally.
The federal public defender’s office for the region that covers El Paso to San Antonio said
Thursday that federal prosecutors would be dismissing cases in which parents were charged
with illegally entering the country and separated from their children.
But the Justice Department denied “zero tolerance” has been rolled back.
“There has been no change to the department’s zero tolerance policy to prosecute adults
who cross our border illegally instead of claiming asylum at any port of entry at the border,”
spokeswoman Sara Isgur Flores said.
but his comments further damaged their attempt
to win over wavering lawmakers for a measure
already facing likely defeat.
A little more than four months before the
congressional elections, Trump also took a new
shot at Democratic lawmakers, accusing them
of spreading “phony stories of sadness and
grief” about young immigrants separated from
parents by his “zero tolerance” policy on illegal
border crossings.
Trump’s tweet on immigration legislation
was the latest example of his abrupt reversals on
issues, to the dismay of Republicans who crave
his backing as a seal of approval for conserva-
EU imposes tariffs on
US peanuts, motorcycles
and whiskey
BRUSSELS — The European Union started
enforcing tariffs today on American imports like
bourbon, peanut butter and orange juice, part of
a growing global trade rift that’s likely to inten-
sify over the next few weeks.
The EU tariffs on $3.4 billion worth of U.S.
products are in retaliation for duties the Trump
administration has imposed on European steel
and aluminum.
The EU trade commissioner has acknowl-
edged that the EU targeted some iconic Amer-
ican items to put political pressure on Presi-
dent Donald Trump and senior U.S. politicians.
European Commission spokesman Alexander
Winterstein said the EU’s response is propor-
tionate and reasonable.
Daniel Gros, director for Economy and
Finance at the Center for European Policy Stud-
ies, said that in a trade war everyone stands
to lose, but the U.S. has put itself in a worse
position.
“I think the United States is losing more
because it has put tariffs on a very import-
ant input which very often it doesn’t produce
itself,” he said. “The EU perhaps will find a few
disgruntled consumers who have to pay more
for their Harley Davidsons, but that is not a big
loss for us.”
Trump imposed tariffs of 25 percent on EU
steel and 10 percent on aluminum on June 1.
Europeans claim that breaks global trade rules.
The spat is part of a wider tussle over global
trade. In two weeks, the United States will start
taxing $34 billion in Chinese goods. Beijing has
vowed to immediately retaliate with its own tar-
iffs on U.S. soybeans and other farm products.
