Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem's sensational story about a self-cannibalistic immigrant on a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement deportation flight never happened, according to a new report.

Noem spun the lurid yarn over the summer while standing beside President Donald Trump at a news conference and later told Fox News' Jesse Watters that federal agents had "detained a cannibal and put him on a plane to take him home."

Fox News host Jesse Watters was buried in mockery on Monday after he claimed that he doesn't like having a president who "struggles to read."

Watters, who co-hosts "The Five," was responding to comments California Gov. Gavin Newsom made during a public appearance alongside Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens, both of whom are Democrats. Newsom said he is "just like" the people in the audience because he got a 960 on his SAT test in high school. Some MAGA commentators used the clip to attack Newsom.

A Florida Republican shut down rumors Monday that he was joining numerous House colleagues in fleeing for the exits amid President Donald Trump's dismal poll numbers.

Rep. Neal Dunn slammed the brakes on resignation speculation, declaring he's staying put in Congress through the end of his term, Politico reported.

President Donald Trump almost immediately vowed to re-implement his global tariffs after the Supreme Court struck down his authority to implement them under emergency powers law — but inside the administration, his officials are scrambling to try to find a way to make it work.

This comes after Trump ran with the dissenting opinion of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, who suggested a number of other statutes would be workable for imposing more or less the same policies the court just struck down.

A lawyer warned on Monday that President Donald Trump appears to have cooked up a "bad faith" scheme to meddle in the midterm elections.

Earlier this month, the Trump administration dispatched FBI agents and the Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, to the Fulton County, Georgia, election office to retrieve data about the 2020 general election. The raid was predicated on an affidavit from an FBI agent who claimed there was evidence that the election was unfairly conducted. In response, Trump administration officials collected more than 700 boxes of data, including the election ballots and the county's voter rolls, which courts had denied them access to.

A top Trump administration prosecutor is reportedly throwing in the towel on the president's retribution campaign against six Democrats who warned service members not to obey illegal orders.

The case against the six Democrats crumbles after a federal grand jury unanimously rejected the prosecution, dealing a major blow to the Justice Department's unprecedented attempt to charge lawmakers over a social media video.

A legal expert warned on Monday that a federal judge's "egregious" ruling showed she has an absolute bias toward President Donald Trump.

Judge Aileen Cannon in Florida issued a ruling on Monday permanently preventing former special counsel Jack Smith's final report on his investigation into Trump's attempts to overturn the 2020 general election from becoming public. In the ruling, Cannon compared Smith's report to other special counsel reports that had been released after an investigation concluded, and argued that releasing Smith's report would unfairly damage the president's reputation.

Chicagoans sent President Donald Trump a firm rebuke on Monday during the city's annual snowplow naming contest, according to a report.

Local news station WTTW reported on Monday that the name "Abolish ICE" won the city's snowplow naming contest, which the outlet described as a "humorous pun to efforts to oppose ... Trump’s mass deportation effort." Other names in the running included Stephen Coldbert, Pope Frío XIV, The Blizzard of Oz, Svencoolie, and Caleb Chilliams, a reference to the starting quarterback of the Chicago Bears.

President Donald Trump is more desperate than ever to win the approval and friendship of celebrities and the pop culture sphere, NPR media correspondent David Folkenflik told MS NOW's Nicolle Wallace on "Deadline: White House" — and Hollywood is in a quandary about just how to respond to his cajoling and threats.

This comes as Trump does his utmost to cultivate rap star Nicki Minaj's new sharp turn into the MAGA world.

Right-wing influencer Nick Fuentes once again unleashed a scathing critique of the Trump administration on social media, declaring the MAGA movement defunct over what he characterized as broken promises and misplaced priorities.

Fuentes, who has been an outspoken critic of President Donald Trump in recent months, outlined a list of grievances centered on immigration enforcement and military deployment decisions.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement was rocked Monday as a former agency lawyer blasted the Trump administration for gutting critical training programs while rushing to hire thousands of new officers.

Ryan Schwank, who recently trained cadets at the ICE academy in Georgia, accused the agency of slashing 240 hours from its 584-hour training program, The Hill reported. During his testimony, Schwank described the cuts as rendering the curriculum "deficient, defective and broken."

Mark Epstein, the brother of disgraced financier and convicted sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein, abruptly ended an interview on Monday after he was asked about the victims of his brother's crimes.

Epstein joined journalist Piers Morgan on his eponymous YouTube show, where he was asked about the latest release of files from the FBI's investigation into his brother. Epstein claimed the files added credence to his theory that Jeffrey was murdered while in jail. He also claimed that the FBI has been playing "games" to portray his brother's death as a suicide.
