Hungary's parliament has passed a constitutional amendment that allows the government to ban public events organized by LGBTQ+ communities, including Pride marches. The amendment, which passed with 140 votes in favor and 21 against, emphasizes the protection of children's physical, moral, and spiritual development over other rights, and recognizes only two sexes, male and female.

The law also permits authorities to use facial recognition tools to identify individuals attending prohibited events, with fines of up to 200,000 Hungarian forints ($546) for violators.

The government argues that the measures are necessary to protect children from what it calls "woke ideology" and "gender madness." Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has praised the legislation, stating, "We won’t let woke ideology endanger our kids."

Ahead of the vote, opposition politicians and protesters attempted to blockade the entrance to a parliament parking garage, but were forcibly removed by police. Opposition lawmakers used air horns to disrupt the vote.

Embassies of left-wing and liberal-led European nations, including those of France, Germany, and the United Kingdom, signed an open letter expressing significant concern over the ban, claiming that it restricts the right to peaceful assembly and freedom of expression.

However conservative leaders, pro-family and children's rights advocates praise the law as a necessary measure to combat LGBTQ degeneracy and indoctrination of children by degenerate adults in Hungary.

U.S. President Donald Trump met Monday, with El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele in the Oval Office of the White House. They discussed a range of bilateral issues, including the detention of criminal alien Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, who was deported to a prison in his home country El Salvador.

President Bukele, known for his tough-on-crime policies, said he does not have the power to return Abrego Garcia to the U.S., referring to him as a "terrorist" and stating that he would not smuggle him back into the U.S. The president also said he would not release him into the country.

Vice President JD Vance, Attorney General Pam Bondi, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem were also present at the Oval Office meeting.

As discredited far-left CNN reporter Kaitlan Collins tried to get in a remark during the meeting, Trump obliged and said he wanted to hear a question from the "very low-rated anchor."

Collins asked Trump if he would ask Bukele to assist in bringing back Abrego Garcia.

Trump directed Bondi to answer Collins, who said Abrego Garcia was illegally in the country and had previously been ruled by immigration courts to be a member of transnational terrorist group MS-13. It was "up to El Salvador" if it wanted to return him, she said. She added that if El Salvador wanted to return Abrego Garcia, the U.S. would facilitate it by providing a plane.

Trump interjected that CNN asked "with a slant, because they are totally slanted."

"They don't know what's happening, that's why nobody is watching them," Trump said.

"They don't know what's happening, that's why nobody is watching them," Trump said.

Trump said of CNN, "I think they hate our country" and accused it of stifling reporting about decreased illegal border crossings under his administration.

Bukele also slammed Collins' "preposterous" question after she asked the El Salvadorian president if he would help return Abrego Garcia to the U.S. "How can I smuggle a terrorist into the United States? I don’t have the power to return him to the United States."

The Supreme Court upheld the decision by U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis saying the U'S' government should "facilitate" the release of Abrego Garcia "in El Salvador," and to ensure that his case is "handled as it would have been had he not been improperly sent to El Salvador." The supreme court also cautioned the judge against interfering in the constitutional authority of the president to conduct foreign policy.

The Trump administration hailed the supreme court decision as a victory that affirmed the president's authority over foreign policy.

In a court filing submitted Sunday evening, Department of Justice(DOJ) lawyers argued they are not required to comply with judge Xinis' order to "facilitate" the return of Abrego Garcia.

The lawyers argued that the order itself likely exceeds the power of the courts, arguing they "have no authority to direct the Executive Branch to conduct foreign relations in a particular way, or engage with a foreign sovereign in a given manner."

Trump also asked White House Deputy chief of staff(CoS) Stephen Miller to respond to Collins' question during Monday's Oval Office meeting with Bukele. Miller defended the deportation of Abrego Garcia, arguing that even if El Salvador were to send him back to the U.S., the administration would deport him again. He emphasized that no version of the situation legally ends with the criminal alien living in the U.S.

"We won a case 9-0," Miller said. "And people like CNN are portraying it as a loss, as usual, because they want foreign terrorists in the country who kidnap women and children."

Miller said it was "very arrogant even for American media to suggest that we would even tell El Salvador how to handle their own citizens." He added that because Trump had declared MS-13 a foreign terrorist outfit, Abrego Garcia was ineligible for immigration relief in the U.S.

Rubio argued that the foreign policy of the United States is conducted by the president, not by a court, and that no court has the right to conduct foreign policy.

Noem said that the deportations are a "clear consequence for the worst of the worst" criminals.

Collins noted that Trump had said he would abide by the Supreme Court decision. Trump shot back, "Why don’t you just say, 'Isn't it wonderful that we're keeping criminals out of our country?' Why can’t you just say that? Why do you go over and over — and that’s why nobody watches you anymore. You have no credibility."

Trump and Bukele discussed the partnership between the U.S. and El Salvador in tackling crime and terrorism.

The meeting also touched on other topics, such as tariffs and Iran, but the focus remained largely on the deportation issue and the status of Abrego Garcia.

Regarding tariffs, Trump mentioned that tech-specific tariffs on China were coming soon, indicating that no one would be "getting off the hook" in his trade war with China.

U.S. Special Envoy Steven Witkoff and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi met in Muscat, Oman, on Saturday over the Islamic Republic's nuclear program. The talks were described as "very positive and constructive" by both the White House and Iranian officials, with the sides agreeing to meet again in Rome on April 19.

The discussions focused on Iran's nuclear program, with both sides agreeing that the issues are very complicated and that the talks were a step forward.

The White House issued a statement emphasizing the positive and constructive nature of the discussions. Witkoff underscored that he had instructions from President Donald Trump to resolve the differences between the two nations through dialogue and diplomacy, if possible. The White House also noted the complexity of the issues and described the meeting as a step forward in achieving a mutually beneficial outcome.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, in comments to Iranian state television, described the meeting as constructive and held in a calm and respectful environment. He claimed that the talks were indirect, with Omani Foreign Minister Badr bin Hamad al-Busaidi mediating the discussions.

Araghchi said that the main goal of the talks was to restore the rights of the Iranian people and lift sanctions, and that the next round of negotiations may not take place in Oman but would still be mediated by the Middle Eastern nation.

"Constructive and promising round of indirect talks with US Special Envoy @SteveWitkoff, kindly hosted and mediated by my brother @badralbusaidi of the Sultanate of Oman," Araghchi later wrote on X. "The talks were conducted in an atmosphere of mutual respect. I elaborated Iran's viewpoints in a firm yet forward-looking manner. Both sides decided to continue the process in a matter of days."

The talks were the highest-level discussions between the U.S. and Iran since Trump's first term in office and followed years of strained relations, particularly after the U.S. withdrew from the 2015 Iran nuclear deal (JCPOA) during Trump's first term.

Omani Foreign Minister Badr Albusaidi announced on X that the meeting aimed to begin a process of dialogue and negotiations to conclude a fair and binding agreement.

Trump's effort to peacefully resolve the nuclear program issue with Iran has riled up neocons and Israeli war hawks who advocate for military action against the Islamic Republic.

However many supporters of the populist U.S. president have in recent months stepped up effort to war him against another war in the middle east.

"Whatever you think of tariffs, it’s clear that now is the worst possible time for the United States to participate in a military strike on Iran," conservative commentator and journalist Tucker Carlson wrote on X last week. "We can’t afford it. Thousands of Americans would die. We’d lose the war that follows. Nothing would be more destructive to our country. And yet we’re closer than ever, thanks to unrelenting pressure from neocons. This is suicidal. Anyone advocating for conflict with Iran is not an ally of the United States, but an enemy."

Witkoff also met during the week, with Russian President Vladimir Putin to as part of the ongoing talks to end the Russia-Ukraine war
