Both U.S. citizen and immigrant children are increasingly being caught up in President Trump's increasingly aggressive deportation efforts.

Driving the news: Three children who are U.S. citizens were removed from the country with their deported mothers, while a recent Immigration and Customs Enforcement memo shows the agency is specifically targeting unaccompanied immigrant children.

The conclave to elect a new pope will begin on May 7, the Vatican said on Monday.

Canadians head to the polls Monday to decide whether Prime Minister Mark Carney's Liberal Party maintains the reins or whether the Conservatives return to power for the first time in nearly a decade.

Why it matters: The results will have ramifications for Canada's suddenly shaky relations with the U.S. President Trump's tariffs and his repeated threats of annexing Canada as the "51st state" have frayed long-standing ties between the two nations.

Authorities arrested over 100 suspected undocumented immigrants in a federal raid on a Colorado nightclub that saw guns and drugs including methamphetamine and pink cocaine seized early Sunday, officials said.

The big picture: President Trump and Attorney General Pam Bondi hailed the raid on the Colorado Springs club, some 70 miles south of Denver, as the administration faces criticism over the arrest of a judge in an immigration case and U.S. citizen children being sent to Honduras with their deported mothers.

The U.S. and China are talking on key economic matters, despite what the Chinese government may say publicly, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Sunday.

Why it matters: The trade war between the world's two largest economies threatens the entire global order, but there's significant disagreement about whether there's any actually progress toward a resolution.

Trump administration officials on Sunday defended the administration's aggressive crackdown on undocumented immigrants after immigration advocacy groups reported U.S. citizen children had been deported.

The big picture: Both Secretary of State Marco Rubio and President Trump's border czar Tom Homan in Sunday TV interviews denied the children, who were sent with their mothers from Louisiana to Honduras, had been deported.

The Trump administration has quietly been holding discussions and consulting outside experts as it considers options for potentially restarting dialogue with North Korea, a senior U.S. official and three additional sources familiar with those discussions tell Axios.

Why it matters: North Korea has made alarming nuclear advances since President Trump and Kim Jong-un held two dramatic but ultimately failed summits. While nothing appears imminent, Trump has made clear he'd like to reconnect with Kim — perhaps face-to-face — and his national security team is preparing for that scenario.
