1. Chief Justice John Roberts defended the independence of the judiciary after President Trump criticized a ruling by a federal judge.

“We do not have Obama judges or Trump judges, Bush judges or Clinton judges,” wrote Chief Justice Roberts, left, rebuking the president. “What we have is an extraordinary group of dedicated judges doing their level best.”

Mr. Trump had criticized a ruling by Judge Jon Tigar, who ordered the administration to resume accepting asylum claims from migrants no matter where or how they entered the county.
