Ex-DHS official goes scorched earth on CNN as agency's 'real problems' end in tragedy

A former Department of Homeland Security official didn't mince words on CNN on Tuesday, describing how the agency is failing to meet its mission and endangering the American public.

In the last week, Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers have killed two people during traffic stops. One of them was a 26-year-old Colombian man living in Maine, and the other was a 52-year-old immigrant in Houston who was in line to obtain his work authorization. Both killings sparked protests and outrage from community members after videos appeared to contradict ICE's narrative about the incidents.

'Sadistic savagery': Stephen Miller linked to 'vigilante force' in new court filing

A civil rights lawsuit filed on Tuesday accuses White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller of orchestrating a deportation conspiracy with a group its own spokesperson allegedly called "a vigilante force."

ICE official warns agents 'being pushed to the breaking point': 'I would shut down ops'

Hours before U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents were instructed to immediately halt vehicle stops, which have led to fatal shootings of innocent immigrants in Texas and Maine, an ICE official called for a reset and recalibration before things grow worse due to stressed-out street agents.

Under new Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin, immigrant round-ups have been ramping up but, hopefully, without all the hoopla that was allowed by his predecessor Kristi Noem, who was fired by Donald Trump.

A former senior Homeland Security (DHS) official is warning Americans about President Donald Trump's upcoming address on Thursday, drawing on firsthand experience from the first Trump administration to predict what the president intends to discuss.

“The White House hastily manufactured a Big Lie in 2020 that the election was stolen from Trump, but in the frenzied aftermath, it couldn’t really find a culprit,” wrote Miles Taylor, who served in both the Trump and Bush administrations, in an analysis published Tuesday on his Substack.

Missing GOP lawmaker walking into a buzzsaw after Trump admin blindsides him: report

Rep. Tom Kean Jr. (R-NJ), who disappeared on his colleagues and constituents for months, has returned to restart his re-election bid only to find that Donald Trump’s administration has made the road a lot rockier than it was before.

Kean was mysteriously missing with no public explanation until he finally admitted that he was being treated for depression, and now he needs to deal with a decision by the Department of Homeland Security to renew a bid to resurrect a controversial detention facility proposal that had already united Republicans and Democrats in the North Jersey district in "unified opposition," Politico is reporting.

Right-wing hardliners eye 'macabre' moment to finish off GOP's hawkish wing: report

America First hardliners are viewing Sen. Lindsey Graham's death as a dark opportunity to purge the Republican Party of its remaining interventionist wing and consolidate control over Donald Trump's foreign policy agenda, Politico is reporting.

Graham's sudden passing left a gaping hole in the GOP's hawkish establishment — a void that anti-interventionist Trump allies are openly celebrating as a chance to eliminate their final formidable obstacle within the party.

Trump's Reflecting Pool fiasco takes a turn as onlookers zero in on motorcade tire tracks

Critics zeroed in on photos of tire tracks scarring the floor of the newly drained Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, where the presidential motorcade drove weeks earlier.

President Donald Trump drained the pool Monday, insisting vandals had left a 300-yard gash in its lining. But reporters and on-the-ground onlookers told CNN they saw no gash.

MAGA senator winces as Trump uses Lindsey Graham's death for 'own purposes': report

While the late Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) spent his final days aggressively pushing for the United States to impose stricter sanctions on Russia, President Donald Trump has instead said passing a cryptocurrency bill would be the best way to “honor” Graham’s legacy, making even a staunch Trump ally wince.

“The most obvious and logical way [to honor Graham] would be the sanctions bill, because it’s his bill,” said Sen. Kevin Cramer (R-ND) in an interview Monday, as reported by Politico on Tuesday. “You’re not making anything up. He practically died trying to get it passed… Anything else becomes kind of political trickery in my mind.”

Wall Street needles Trump with bitter new joke as Hormuz debacle returns with a vengeance

Energy traders and Wall Street analysts are resorting to dark humor to cope with Donald Trump's foreign policy catastrophe in the Persian Gulf, where his aggressive posturing toward Iran has backfired spectacularly and destabilized one of the world's most critical shipping routes.

The situation has become so dire that financial markets have developed a bitter joke about it. Traders have coined a new term for what they now expect: the "NACHO trade" — shorthand for "Not a Chance Hormuz Opens," according to a report from the Wall Street Journal.
