President Donald Trump's border czar, Tom Homan, became visibly upset outside the White House, blurting out a shock admission to reporters before storming off.

Homan was talking about Minnesota and other ICE shootings and the public demand for federal law enforcement agents to wear body cameras following to multiple ICE killings, including deaths in Maine and Texas this month.

"All the mistakes they say happened in Minnesota — the mistakes they claim in Minnesota, a lot of them I don't think were mistakes," Homan admitted, shocking onlookers....

A Democratic lawmaker Wednesday said that Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem was not likely to keep her job in the Trump administration.

Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) told MS NOW anchor Chris Jansing that concerns over Noem's leadership have put her in a tough position among lawmakers. Noem has been testifying before congressional leaders this week in Washington, D.C., where she has faced multiple calls to resign and heated confrontations with several leaders, including longtime Republicans, who expressed their frustration and disappointment with her leadership.

Lawmakers have been critical of Noem's response to disasters and accused her of suppressing FEMA disaster relief funding. They have also called for justice following the death of two American citizens in Minneapolis at the hands of federal law enforcement officers, citing aggressive tactics and unlawful activities under her leadership. ...

Attorney General Pam Bondi was brutally mocked online over her combative testimony on Wednesday.

Bondi, who was testifying during the House Judiciary Committee hearing on Capitol Hill, had fiery exchanges with multiple lawmakers over their questions about several ongoing matters, including the Jeffrey Epstein files and survivors, the immigration enforcement killings of two American citizens in Minneapolis, and the Department of Justice's actions against President Donald Trump's enemies.

Users on social media had reactions to the explosive and bizarre moments, name-calling, and shouting throughout the testimony. ...

A lawmaker Tuesday warned Department of Homeland Security leaders that they would face justice following the deaths of American citizens and unlawful behavior by federal agents.

Rep. Delia Ramirez (D-IL) had a serious message for the heads of the agencies responsible for carrying out the Trump administration's harsh immigration tactics and mass deportation policy during a hearing where leaders were testifying ahead of a looming DHS funding deadline.

"My mother, a Guatemalan immigrant and an American, taught me that I have a responsibility to look evil in the eye and to fight it," Ramirez said. ...

Republicans turned on MAGA-friendly CBS News boss Bari Weiss after the network reported Monday on ICE arrests and what's happening within the agency, which was actually documented by the Trump administration's Department of Homeland Security.

CBS reported how a leaked DHS memo showed that less than 14% of the about 400,000 people arrested in 2025 were previously convicted or charged for violent criminal offenses — a major crux of the administration's argument for its aggressive immigration policies, according to The New Republic.

"Since the campaign trail, Donald Trump has pledged that he would utilize ICE to target the 'worst of the worst' and oust violent criminals from the country. But federal agents have resorted to arresting practically anybody—including U.S. citizens and children—in order to satisfy Homeland Security adviser Stephen Miller’s quota of 3,000 or more arrests per day. They have also shot and killed U.S. citizens, and struck terror and fury into the souls of American communities, sparking nationwide protests and local economic blackouts," The New Republic reported. ...

Republicans have started to ramp up criticism over Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem — and not just over her handling of ICE and the growing public backlash after two agents killed American citizens — but also tensions over her leadership of FEMA.

As Noem tries to manage the fallout over the Trump administration's harsh immigration actions, "the embattled Noem faces a litany of other dysfunctions in her department that also imperil her tenure," according to a Politico report published Thursday.

"President Donald Trump has insisted Noem will not lose her job," Politico reported. "But her handling of other things under her agency’s sprawling remit – from disaster relief to the gutting of the nation’s cybersecurity agency – is increasingly alienating Republicans at a time when she needs them most." ...
