An author who has written four books about Donald Trump revealed on Tuesday what caused the president to course-correct his deportation operations in Minneapolis.

Trump surged immigration officers into Minneapolis under the guise of combating social benefits fraud, a move that has been met with stiff pushback from local officials and community members alike. Immigration officers have been responsible for two high-profile killings in Minneapolis since they arrived. Experts have said the killings were legally dubious, and the administration decided to tell its own narrative about the circumstances despite evidence from eyewitnesses that contradicts their accounts.

Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA), sparked outrage on Tuesday after he seemed to play dumb about whether some of the actions of President Donald Trump's immigration forces are legal.

Igor Bobíc, senior politics reporter at HuffPost, posted on X that he tried asking Grassley whether it is appropriate for Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers to enter an American citizen's home without a judicial warrant. Last week, the Associated Press reported that ICE officers have been told they have the legal authority to enter people's homes without a warrant, sparking outrage from legal experts.

Fans of President Donald Trump's MAGA movement freaked out at a Hollywood film star on Tuesday after she made a teary-eyed statement about Trump's immigration forces.

Natalie Portman, who has starred in films like "Garden State" and "Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith," discussed the actions of Trump's Immigration and Customs Enforcement on the red carpet of the premiere of her new film "The Gallerist" at the Sundance Film Festival in Utah on Saturday. That was the same day immigration agents swarmed and killed Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old ICU nurse in Minneapolis, during a protest against Trump's immigration regime.

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) was sprayed with an unidentified substance while speaking at a town hall in Minneapolis on Tuesday.

Video shared on social media by Jay O'Brien, Capitol Hill correspondent for ABC News, shows a bearded man in a heavy jacket charging Omar at the podium before he is grabbed and whisked away by security. Omar and the other local lawmakers in attendance were visibly in shock. The town hall continued after the person was removed.

President Donald Trump's Department of Justice left out a pivotal detail in its latest update on efforts to release the Jeffrey Epstein files, according to a new report.

The Department of Justice sent a letter on Tuesday to judges Richard M. Berman and Paul A. Engelmayer of the Southern District of New York updating them on the department's efforts to release the Epstein files, Politico's Kyle Cheney reported. DOJ said in its letter that it "continues to make substantial progress" on reviewing the files, including making redactions and other efforts to protect survivors. However, the DOJ added that it does not know when the process will conclude.

President Donald Trump's interim cybersecurity chief appears to have made a rookie mistake with the public version of ChatGPT, according to a new report.

Politico reported on Tuesday that Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency acting director Madhu Gottumukkala uploaded government contracting documents to ChatGPT, which set off "multiple automated security warnings that are meant to stop the theft or unintentional disclosure of government material from federal networks." None of the files were classified, according to four people familiar with the matter who spoke with Politico, although the material was marked "for official use only."

One of President Donald Trump's top aides issued a stunning statement on Tuesday, walking back claims he made about slain ICU nurse Alex Pretti shortly after his death, according to a new report

Stephen Miller, Trump's deputy chief of staff for policy, said shortly after Pretti's death that he attended a Minneapolis protest over the weekend with the intent to "massacre agents." Axios reported on Tuesday that Miller forced Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to use similar talking points about Pretti, including the assertion that he was a "domestic terrorist."

Two analysts were stunned on Tuesday after a flood of "bloodthirsty" MAGA media personalities called for President Donald Trump to inflict more violence against protesters in Minneapolis following the killing of ICU nurse Alex Pretti.

Sam Stein, managing editor of The Bulwark, and Will Sommer, the publication's senior reporter, discussed how the MAGA media sphere reacted to Pretti's death during a new episode of "Bulwark Takes" on Tuesday. They highlighted examples from commentators like Megyn Kelly, who claimed she felt no sympathy for Pretti after he was killed, and Greg Kelly, who said immigration officers were right to mistake Pretti's phone for a gun.

President Donald Trump made a bizarre claim about electric vehicles in one of his signature speech ad-libs on Tuesday.

Trump spoke in Clive, Iowa, on Tuesday evening in front of a crowd of rural voters. In part of his speech, Trump mentioned rolling back many of the Biden administration's environmental protections and electric vehicle mandates. One of the policies he mentioned that elicited the biggest crowd response was his repeal of Biden's diesel exhaust fluid mandates, which Trump claimed could have cost farmers more than $1 billion in equipment upgrades.

A caller on a MAGA TV network called on President Donald Trump to unleash violence against his "domestic enemies" on Tuesday.

During the caller segment of "Bolling!" on MAGA TV network Real America's Voice, an individual told Trump that he "hopes he has a plan" for the people protesting immigration raids in Minneapolis. The call happened at a time when tensions over Trump's deportation policies are under increased scrutiny after a swarm of officers killed 37-year-old ICU nurse Alex Pretti, the second high-profile killing in Minneapolis this month.

The dollar fell to $0.83 against the Euro on Tuesday, the lowest it's been since June 2021, after President Donald Trump said that he doesn't care about its continued decline.

“No, I think it’s great,” Trump told reporters in Iowa on Tuesday, according to a report by Bloomberg. The president was responding to a question about whether he was worried about losses in the dollar. “I think the value of the dollar — look at the business we’re doing. The dollar’s doing great.”
