Border Patrol Chief Greg Bovino was shut down Friday during an appearance on NewsNation after suggesting that federal immigration officials enjoyed widespread support among Americans, despite new polling demonstrating the polar opposite.

As of this week, support for President Donald Trump’s immigration policy is sitting at minus 8 points, a staggering drop of 26 points since last January. Nevertheless, when pressed on this fact, Bovino strongly suggested that Americans opposed to Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations were actually a small minority.

A discussion on the damage Department of Homeland Security head Kristi Noem and Donald Trump adviser Stephen Miller are doing to the administration with their extremist anti-immigrant policies led a former adviser to the president to claim that Trump accepts it because he believes it helps him with bigger issues.

On MS NOW’s “Morning Joe”, co-host Joe Scarborough spoke with branding expert Donny Deutsch about Trump’s plunging poll numbers which, in large part, stem from the images of ICE agents using small children as “bait” to grab their parents, pulling women from cars and carrying them away and breaking into homes to snatch innocent people.

CNN's Sara Sidner knocked down the essential claim made by Vice President JD Vance to justify the detention of a 5-year-old boy by immigration agents.

Liam Conejo Ramos was removed from the family’s running car Tuesday after returning home from preschool with his father and used as bait to lure other family members outside during a raid in Minnesota, according to school officials, but the vice president visited the area Thursday and defended the agents' actions.

CNN's Audie Cornish seemingly set a trap for a conservative panelist defending the legality of President Donald Trump's harsh immigration crackdown.

The panelists were debating the legality of an Immigration and Customs Enforcement directive authorizing officers to enter homes without judicial warrants, and The Daily Signal's Rob Bluey justified the government's actions.

President Donald Trump and his Defense Secretary, Pete Hegseth, appear to have a special bond, and one author who has written about Trump for several decades revealed why that is during a new interview.

Hegseth has seemed like a unicorn in the Trump world because he has generated negative press coverage for the administration and has not yet been removed from his job. For instance, Hegseth was at the center of the Signalgate scandal last year, where plans of a U.S. strike against the Houthis in Yemen were leaked to The Atlantic. Hegseth has also found himself in the middle of the Trump administration's lethal strikes against suspected drug boats, which have killed more than 120 people.

A retired judge flagged the most chilling part of Immigration and Customs Enforcement's behavior in cities across the country during an interview on CNN.

Retired U.S. District Judge Shira Scheindlin discussed the recent actions of ICE agents during CNN's "NewsNight with Abby Phillip" on Thursday. She said it has become clear that ICE is operating without any rules and no real oversight from the federal government, which is a recipe for disaster.

President Donald Trump dropped a wild statement about peace Thursday evening that left observers scratching their heads.

Trump fielded questions about his polarizing "Board of Peace" initiative for Gaza as he returned to the United States after appearing at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. The Gaza scheme comes with a hefty $1 billion price tag for permanent membership.

A top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee revealed a startling aspect of the hearing on Thursday with former special counsel Jack Smith during an interview on CNN.

Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA) joined CNN's Jake Tapper on "The Lead" to discuss Smith's hearing, which included several bombshell moments. Before the hearing began, a right-wing operative and a former Capitol police officer nearly got into a fistfight. Republicans on the committee also staged several confrontations with Smith during the hearing, accusing him of acting on political motives and other misdeeds.

A CNN reporter revealed on Thursday that the vice president's speech in Minneapolis "didn't do a damn thing" to calm tensions in the city after a high-profile killing by an immigration officer.

Sara Sidner, CNN's senior national correspondent, reported on Vice President JD Vance's speech from Minneapolis, where he spoke to the community as he was surrounded by police and Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers. The speech happened at a time when tensions are high in Minneapolis after ICE agent Jonathan Ross shot and killed Renee Good, a 37-year-old mother who was leaving the scene of an ICE raid in her car.

MAGA supporters spoke out in defense of Vice President JD Vance after he used Minnesota's old flag at a press conference despite criticisms that it is racist.

Writing on BlueSky, Ana Marie Cox noted that Vance's podium was "flanked by steroidal SUVs declaring 'Protect the Homeland' and the *old* Minnesota flag."

Former Capitol Police Officer Michael Fanone responded with profanity after Rep. Troy Nehls (R-TX) suggested that the Jan. 6 Committee's initial investigation was political.

During a Thursday hearing before the House Judiciary Committee, Nehls told former special counsel Jack Smith that his "witch hunt" against President Donald Trump had been "politically motivated."
