Donald Trump posed for an unprecedented mugshot while surrendering at an Atlanta jail Thursday evening on charges of trying to overturn his 2020 election defeat in Georgia — a sobering image that underlined the stark legal threat against him that could nevertheless boost his political momentum.

Trump was arrested at a Georgia jail Thursday on racketeering and conspiracy charges and released on $200,000 bond after having a historic mug shot taken. Trump, who is accused of colluding with 18 other defendants to overturn the 2020 election result in the southern state, spent less than 30 minutes inside Atlanta's Fulton County Jail before leaving in a motorcade for the airport. Like the other defendants in the case who have surrendered so far, the 77-year-old Trump had his mug shot taken during the booking process — a first for any serving or former US president.

Speaking to reporters after his arrest, Trump, the frontrunner for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, said it was a «very sad day for America.» «What has taken place here is a travesty of justice,» he said.

US government has sued Elon Musk’s SpaceX. The Department of Justice has accused the private rocket and satellite company of discriminating against asylum seekers in its hiring process. It has said that Space X has falsely claimed that it is not allowed to hire non-U.S. citizens. Talking to BBC, Assistant Attorney General of the DOJ's Civil Rights Division, Kristen Clarke said that SpaceX did not hire asylum seekers and refugees because of their citizenship status. He said that it is tantamount to a ban on their hiring and it violated the federal law. He also said that the SpaceX officials took actions that discouraged the asylum seekers and refugees from seeking jobs with the space company. The lawsuit has also alleged that from September 2018 to May 2022, SpaceX routinely discouraged asylum seekers and refugees from applying and refused to hire them because of their citizenship status, which is a violation of the Immigration and Citizenship Act. The Department of Justice also said that in the job postings and public statements Elon Musk’s satellite company has falsely claimed that under the export control law, SpaceX could hire only the U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents called the ‘green card holders’. The lawsuit also cited Elon Musk’s June 2020 post on Twitter in which he said that the U.S. law requires at least a green card to be hired at SpaceX as rockets are advanced weapons technology.
