Trump-backed Honduras conservative National Party presidential candidate Nasry "Tito" Asfura was declared winner of the country's election on Wednesday.

The big picture: Secretary of State Marco Rubio congratulated Asfura soon after the Honduran National Electoral Council (CNE) announced that he had won the Nov. 30 vote, which was beset by a series of delays that saw technical glitches and allegations of fraud.

A federal judge blocked Trump administration efforts to reallocate Department of Homeland Security counterterrorism and security grants away from states that won't cooperate on the president's immigration enforcement policies.

Why it matters: New York's attorney general called the Trump-appointed judge's ruling that was scathing of the administration a "significant win" for N.Y. and the 10 other Democratic-run states and D.C., which brought the lawsuit.

The Trump administration imposed visa restrictions Tuesday on five Europeans the State Department accused of leading "efforts to coerce American platforms to censor" or "suppress" U.S. viewpoints they oppose.

The big picture: Among those now barred from entering the U.S. is former EU Commissioner Thierry Breton, whom under secretary of state for public diplomacy Sarah Rogers on X called "a mastermind of the Digital Services Act," which imposes requirements on social media platforms, including content moderation.

The Supreme Court declined Tuesday to let President Trump send National Guard troops to the Chicago area.

Why it matters: The 6-3 ruling in the conservative-majority high court leaves in place a lower court order temporarily barring Trump from deploying the National Guard to Illinois.

The U.S. now controls about 3.7 million barrels of Venezuelan crude from two interdicted oil tankers. And President Trump doesn't want to give it up.

• "We're gonna keep it," Trump said Monday night when asked about the oil's fate.
