CNN’s 5 Things AM brings you the news you need to know every morning.
A 76-year-old New Yorker is stuck in Puerto Rico because Frontier Airlines won’t fly her home with her “emotional support” parrot. Maria Fraterrigo and the bird were allowed to travel out of John F. Kennedy International Airport, but now the airline is refusing to let her and Plucky back on board for the return flight. Here’s what else you need to know to Get Up to Speed and On with Your Day. It took all of a week for President Donald Trump to reverse course on his sweeping tariff plan. During those seven days, however, the tariffs upset trade partners, sent world financial markets into a tailspin and prompted one automaker to lay off 900 American workers. Even some of Trump’s billionaire supporters turned on him over the policy, including Bill Ackman, CEO of Pershing Square Capital Management, who said unless Trump changed tack, “we are heading for a self-induced, economic nuclear winter, and we should start hunkering down.” Although Trump insisted on his social media site that “MY POLICIES WILL NEVER CHANGE,” he ended up pausing the “reciprocal” tariffs on all nations — except China — for three months on Wednesday. The original 10% universal tariff on all imports coming into the US remains in effect. In response, the Dow climbed 7.87%, the S&P 500 rose 9.5% and the Nasdaq surged 12.2%. The death toll from the nightclub roof collapse in the Dominican Republic has climbed to at least 184, authorities said. At least 300 people were inside the Jet Set in Santo Domingo when the roof caved in around 1 a.m. Tuesday during a performance by merengue singer Rubby Pérez and his orchestra. Pérez was among the fatalities, as were former Major League Baseball players Octavio Dotel and Tony Blanco. The number of injured or missing people has not been released. Video footage from inside the club appeared to show the moment the roof came down, but the cause of the collapse remains under investigation. Israeli forces raided six UN schools in East Jerusalem and ordered them to close within 30 days. The closures will affect approximately 800 students, who may not be able to finish the school year. The UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), which runs schools for Palestinians in areas occupied by Israel, condemned the order. “UNRWA schools are protected by the privileges and immunities of the United Nations,” Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini said. “Today’s unauthorized entries and issuance of closure orders are a violation of these protections.” Israel has accused employees of UNRWA of involvement in Hamas, a claim the UN denies. Israel’s Ministry of Education told parents to register the students in other schools. However, due to the war in Gaza, the enclave’s education system is in ruins. At least 70% of school buildings have taken direct hits from Israeli airstrikes and 24% of university campuses have been destroyed. Federal judges in New York and Texas have issued orders to temporarily halt the deportation of several Venezuelan men the government wants to immediately deport. Earlier this week, the Supreme Court ruled that President Trump may invoke the 1798 Alien Enemies Act and give immigration officials the wartime authority to rapidly deport alleged gang members, but added the people targeted for removal under the act must have “reasonable time” to bring habeas complaints. In response, the ACLU filed emergency lawsuits to ask for a review of the legality of these detainees’ detentions and possibly grant their release. Both judges ordered the Trump administration not to transfer, relocate or move the plaintiffs until the court rules otherwise.

Roughly 500 Marines based out of the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center in California have been mobilized to respond to the protests in Los Angeles, according to three people familiar with the matter, and will join the thousands of National Guard troops that were activated by President Donald Trump over the weekend without the consent of California’s governor or LA’s mayor.
