President Donald Trump will be attending the New York Yankees game in the Bronx on Sept. 11, the 24th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, sources told Fox News Digital.

The Yankees, in the midst of an AL East race, will face the AL Central-leading Detroit Tigers in a potential postseason preview.

Trump has attended numerous sporting events over the years, but has not attended a baseball game during his second presidency.

In 2019, Trump, then president for the first time, attended Game 5 of the World Series between the Washington Nationals and Houston Astros in the nation's capital. He also attended the Astros-Braves World Series in 2021, roughly a year after losing the 2020 election to former President Joe Biden.

Trump said in 2020 that he was set to throw out the first pitch at a Yankees game, but it never occurred due to a "strong focus" on the pandemic.

Before his political career, Trump also attended Game 7 of the National League Championship Series between the New York Mets and St. Louis Cardinals at Shea Stadium.

Trump has been at the forefront of UFC recently, as fights are slated to take place on the White House Lawn on July 4 next year to commemorate the United States' 250th birthday.

The Yankees were in the World Series last year but lost to the Los Angeles Dodgers in five games.

Next year, the Yankees and Mets will play a game on Sept. 11 at Yankee Stadium to commemorate the 25th anniversary of 9/11. They did the same in 2021 at Citi Field, with the Mets wearing specialized "New York" uniforms, as opposed to their normal home "Mets" jerseys.

Sources say Vice President JD Vance will represent the administration at a commemoration ceremony at Ground Zero in Lower Manhattan, with Trump scheduled to attend a memorial event at the Pentagon in northern Virginia earlier in the day.

Trump will also attend the Ryder Cup in New York on Sept. 26, he said. He attended the FIFA Club World Cup championship in July at MetLife Stadium.

President Donald Trump’s United States Attorney General Pam Bondi is moving to block a controversial Illinois law recently signed by Democratic Gov. J.B. Pritzker extending student financial aid, including in-state tuition rates and scholarships, to illegal immigrants.  

In a Tuesday statement, the Justice Department announced it had filed a complaint in the Southern District of Illinois against the state, Pritzker, Attorney General Kwame Raoul, also a Democrat, as well as the boards of trustees of Illinois state universities.

The DOJ is seeking to block the state from enacting its laws granting illegal immigrants financial aid, which the DOJ is claiming violates federal law by unconstitutionally discriminating against U.S. citizens.

In its complaint, the DOJ states that "federal law prohibits providing aliens not lawfully present in the United States with any post-secondary education benefit on the basis of residency unless that benefit is also available to United States citizens and nationals regardless of their residency."

Because of this, the complaint alleges that Illinois’ law is a "blatant and ongoing violation of federal law."

In the DOJ statement, U.S. Attorney Steven Weinhoeft for the Southern District of Illinois commented that "Illinois has an apparent desire to win a ‘race to the bottom’ as the country’s leading sanctuary state."

Weinhoeft said that Illinois’ "misguided approach mandating in-state tuition, scholarships, and financial aid to illegal aliens plainly violates federal law" and that "this policy treats illegal aliens better than U.S. citizens living in other states and incentivizes even more illegal immigration, all on the taxpayer’s dime."

"Illinois citizens deserve better," he said.

Bondi commented that "this Department of Justice has already filed multiple lawsuits to prevent U.S. students from being treated like second-class citizens — Illinois now joins the list of states where we are relentlessly fighting to vindicate federal law."

In response to the complaint, a spokesperson for Pritzker's office told Fox News Digital that "this is yet another blatant attempt to strip Illinoisans of resources and opportunities." 

"While the Trump Administration strips away federal resources from all Americans, Illinois provides consistent and inclusive educational pathways for all students – including immigrants and first-generation students – to access support and contribute to our state," said the spokesperson. "All Illinoisans deserve a fair shot to obtain an education and our programs and policies are consistent with federal laws."

In August, Pritzker, who is a rumored 2028 Democratic presidential contender, signed a bill into law opening student financial aid to all Illinois residents, regardless of immigration status, opening a pathway for illegal immigrants residing in the state to receive educational financial benefits.

The bill purports to establish "equitable eligibility for financial aid and benefits" for all students in the state.

The bill reads that "a student who is an Illinois resident and who is not otherwise eligible for federal financial aid, including, but not limited to, a transgender student who is disqualified for failure to register for selective service or a noncitizen student who has not obtained lawful permanent residence, shall be eligible for financial aid and benefits."

The law has been heavily criticized by parents in the state.

In an interview with Fox News Digital, Michelle Cunney, an Illinois mother and local Parents’ Rights in Education chapter leader, called the new law a "nightmare."

"To be honest, it's terrifying that not only are we having to pay for this, as you know, tax-paying citizens … But also, as parents, not knowing how it will really truly end up affecting our children and their education," explained Cunney.

She said that under Pritzker’s leadership, "we know that the children who are not here legally will get … more of a chance and an opportunity to get scholarships and everything than our children, because to Pritzker, and so many others, we are not important. We are not anything other than money."

A spokesperson for Raoul's office told Fox News' Digital the office is "reviewing the case and don’t have any further comment."
