President Donald Trump kicked off Tuesday by calling for the mass expulsion of Somali immigrants and reviving a long-debunked conspiracy theory targeting Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), amplifying claims from a far-right outlet alleging suspicious overseas cash transfers tied to Somali communities. Posting on Truth Social, Trump demanded that Somali immigrants be “thrown out” of the country and again falsely accused Omar of marrying her brother, a smear that has circulated for years in MAGA circles despite repeated reporting finding no evidence to support it. Trump has increasingly singled out Omar, a former Somali refugee and U.S. citizen, while broadening his attacks to the wider Somali-American community.

A top Trump aide ignited outrage Tuesday by asserting on Fox News that Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers enjoy sweeping federal immunity while performing their duties, a claim amplified by the Department of Homeland Security amid intense scrutiny of ICE’s role following the fatal Minneapolis shooting of Renee Good. White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller told host Will Cain that anyone who tries to stop or obstruct ICE agents, including local officials or protesters, would be committing a felony — a statement legal experts quickly disputed, noting that federal officers do not have blanket immunity and can be prosecuted if they exceed lawful authority, and that state and federal courts retain the power to hold them accountable.

During a wide-ranging interview with CBS News in Detroit, President Donald Trump raised fresh concerns about his view of presidential power, suggesting that courts and even the Constitution would not ultimately constrain him if he believed he was acting in the country’s best interest. Speaking with Tony Dokoupil while visiting Michigan for an address to the Detroit Economic Club and a stop at a Ford plant, Trump downplayed judicial checks by asserting alignment between his goals and what courts would want, comments that come as his administration pushes aggressive legal and political efforts ahead of the 2026 midterms, including moves involving voter rolls and Republican-backed redistricting.

In his New York Times best-selling book How to Test Negative for Stupid, Louisiana Sen. John Kennedy offers a series of blunt insider anecdotes about Washington, including a strikingly candid portrayal of fellow Republican Lindsey Graham. Kennedy — known for his folksy critique of political elites — paints Graham as a deeply hawkish, hard-drinking wild card on foreign policy who might just as easily “get drunk and vomit in the fish tank” as engage in serious debate, underscoring both the South Carolina senator’s reputation for military aggression and unpredictable behavior that has become fodder for Washington gossip.

A Department of Homeland Security whistleblower has allegedly released the personal information of about 4,500 Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Border Patrol employees to an activist database in what may be the largest personnel data breach in the agency’s history, with the fallout tied to outrage over the fatal ICE shooting of Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis. According to reports, the leaked dataset — shared with the volunteer-run ICE List project — includes names, work emails, phone numbers and job roles for thousands of frontline agents and supervisors, prompting concerns about safety, internal dissent at DHS and the risks of exposing federal law-enforcement personnel to public scrutiny.

President Donald Trump’s expanding use of presidential pardons is eroding morale inside the Justice Department, according to more than a dozen current and former federal prosecutors who spoke to The Washington Post. By granting clemency to high-profile figures ranging from disgraced ex–Rep. George Santos to reality TV stars, Silk Road founder Ross Ulbricht, and hundreds of Jan. 6 defendants, Trump has undone years of investigative and trial work, prosecutors said, leaving many questioning whether accountability still matters. Career officials described the pardons as a gut punch that nullifies jury verdicts, vacates restitution for victims, and wipes away painstakingly built cases, including complex financial prosecutions. Even some Trump supporters inside law enforcement said they were baffled by certain pardons, arguing that they appeared to be based on misleading lobbying rather than the facts of the cases.

Julia Brownley’s vacated 26th District seat, raising alarm over his shocking rhetoric and poor judgment.

An anti-ICE activist says she was effectively hired as a deportation officer despite openly opposing the agency, exposing what she described as shockingly lax recruitment and screening practices. Slate columnist Laura Jedeed revealed she received a final job offer, complete with a duty station and start date, even though medical, fitness, and background checks were marked complete before they occurred — and despite her public record of harsh criticism of ICE and the Trump administration. Jedeed said her experience suggests the agency is prioritizing speed and a willingness to enforce deportations over basic due diligence, as recruiters emphasized pushing “as many guns and badges out in the field as possible.” She warned the episode points to a “leaky ship” inside ICE, with minimal oversight and a troubling drive to rapidly expand on-the-ground enforcement.

President Donald Trump took to social media Monday to issue a menacing “day of reckoning and retribution” warning to Minnesota after weeks of intense backlash to a federal immigration sweep and the fatal ICE shooting of 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis. Trump’s Truth Social post blasted the state’s leaders and insisted the surge of federal agents was necessary to rid neighborhoods of “deadly criminals,” even as critics and local officials have decried the operation as heavy-handed and unnecessary, and protests continue to swell across the state and the country.

President Donald Trump reportedly bristled after Exxon Mobil CEO Darren Woods bluntly told him that Venezuela remains “uninvestable,” undercutting the president’s push for U.S. oil giants to pour billions into rebuilding the country’s oil sector after Nicolás Maduro’s capture. According to Bloomberg, Woods raised basic concerns about legal protections, commercial frameworks, and long-term returns — comments that infuriated Trump, who later complained the executive was “playing too cute” and threatened to freeze Exxon out of Venezuela. Industry experts say Woods was simply stating reality, noting that despite Trump’s pressure, the financial and political risks of investing in Venezuela remain massive and unresolved.

At least four senior Justice Department officials resigned in protest after the Trump administration declined to investigate the fatal shooting of 37-year-old Renee Good by an ICE officer in Minneapolis, according to multiple sources. The departures from the Civil Rights Division’s criminal section signal deep frustration with Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon’s decision to forgo a probe into whether the officer unlawfully used deadly force, despite video evidence contradicting administration claims. The mass exit marks the most significant DOJ resignation wave since Trump’s return to office and underscores growing internal dissent over what critics say is a pattern of shielding law enforcement tied to the administration’s aggressive immigration agenda.

A prominent political columnist sparked alarm Monday by arguing that recent behavior from President Donald Trump shows parts of his brain “just aren’t working anymore,” with aides and allies exploiting what he described as a growing “mental vacancy” to push extreme agendas. On The Daily Beast Podcast, the columnist pointed to Trump’s unauthorized attack on Venezuela, saber-rattling over Greenland, an unprecedented investigation into Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell and bizarre social posts claiming he’s Venezuela’s leader as signs of accelerating decline. The remarks amplify ongoing concerns about Trump’s cognitive state as he navigates increasingly erratic executive actions that critics say are destabilizing U.S. foreign policy and governance.
