Hosts: Erin Rider and Andy Cupp 

SCOTUS rules in favor of Pres. Trump over Alien Enemies Act 
President Trump may move forward with the deportation of Tren de Aragua gang members. That's according to a narrowly split ruling from the United States Supreme Court. But those who are set to be deported must receive due process -- they must receive notice of their deportation under the Alien Enemies Act and must also get their day in court to plead their case as to why they shouldn't be deported. The Inside Sources hosts go in-depth on the ruling. 
 
SCOTUS blocks order requiring Trump administration to reinstate fired federal workers 
More confusion today for thousands of federal probationary workers recently fired by the Trump administration. A federal judge had ordered the administration to reinstate those employees, saying the process for the firings was a problem. But this morning, the U.S. Supreme Court reversed that lower court's decision. Now, the Trump Administration has the green light to move ahead with the firings and not worry about reinstating those workers. 
 
Dozens of countries looking to negotiate new tariffs 
Will the massive tariffs placed on foreign countries trigger negotiations and improve the trade imbalance? It's what President Trump said would happen, but economists still aren't convinced. However, there are reports now of dozens of countries already reaching out to the administration asking to renegotiate trade and tariffs. That news sent stocks hirer today. Inside Sources discusses the possible negotiations and Congress’ role in all of it. 
 
Cabinet members visit Utah – a sign of the state’s growing political influence? 
During their visits to Utah yesterday, three members of President Trump's Cabinet praised the state for its work along the lines of health, food, and transportation. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. spoke of wanting to implement a similar ban on fluoride in drinking water – something Utah passed during the legislative session – and make it nationwide. Erin and Andy talk about the growing status of Utah in national politics. 
 
Opinion: Utah will continue trend of cutting taxes 
During this last legislative session, the Utah state legislature prioritized giving Utahns yet another tax cut -- for the fifth year in a row. And even though the budget was looking tight, they still found a way to eliminate some taxes, including some taxes on social security benefits. Deseret News Opinion Editor Jay Evensen thinks this tax-cutting trend will continue. He joins the show to talk more about that. 
 
Utah pursuing mining partnership with Canada 
Governor Spencer Cox -- joined by state, business, and energy leaders -- continues to tour Canada this week on a mission to strengthen trade ties between the state and Canada. One thing that's been a focus of the visit so far is energy and natural resources. In fact, Canada's Fraser Institute has identified Utah as not one of the most -- but as THE MOST -- attractive location for mining investment. Brian Somers, President of the Utah Mining Association is there on the trade mission and joins us to share some insights. 
 
Dire wolves coming back from extinction 
It may sound a little Jurassic Park, and it sort of is. Scientists, using DNA from teeth and bones, say they’ve been able to bring back the extinct dire wolf. Erin and Andy finish the show discussing the potential ethical implications of such a move.
