A shakeup is looming at Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) because Donald Trump’s White House has become increasingly frustrated with the pace of arrests of undocumented immigrants — and now jobs are on the line.

According to a report from the New York Times, regional ICE officials are being asked to explain why arrest numbers are down which led former senior ICE official Claire Trickler-McNulty to explain, “They are under constant threat; people are ground down; it’s a culture of fear.”

Noting that the agency has been in constant turmoil, Trickler-McNulty added, “There has been so much shuffling of deck chairs — I can’t imagine anyone even having the ability to take on real challenges.”

…

With the administration setting a goal of 600,000 deportations by the end of Trump’s first year of his second term, the report states the numbers are falling from the proposed 3,000 immigrants per day, ordered by Trump advisor Stephen Miller, down to slightly more than 1,000 a day.

Poor crybabies! They’re terrorizing our communities while they whine about their own “culture of fear” because they haven’t terrorized enough people.

F*ck ’em!

The White House has shown little urgency in extending the subsidies until shutdown ends.

Republicans are barreling toward the upcoming Obamacare enrollment period without a unified plan to address the sticker shock that millions of Americans are likely to experience due to the expiration of key federal subsidies.

The lack of direction comes from the top, with President Donald Trump not providing clear guidance to his party on how he wants to deal with the expiring subsidies that could result in dramatic out-of-pocket price hikes for enrollees.

Rep. Jeff Van Drew (R-N.J.) said he spoke to the president on the phone about a week ago to talk about a yearlong extension of the enhanced subsidies. He said Trump asked him: “Can’t we do something better?” But Van Drew said he replied, “Mr. President, we don’t have the time.”

Even large manufacturers who have been able to absorb many of the costs of the international levies have warned that should the situation continue, or even worsen, they will be forced to hike up prices

Companies have so far passed almost 40 percent of Donald Trump’s foreign import tariffs onto consumers, though that figure may still increase further.

Even large manufacturers who have been able to absorb many of the costs of the international levies have warned that should the situation continue, or even worsen, they will be forced to hike up prices.

Since Trump’s announcement of sweeping global tariffs in April, companies have passed about 37 percent on to consumers, 9 percent onto their suppliers and absorbed 51 percent through August, according to research by Goldman Sachs.

Harmeet Dhillon made an embarrassing mistake while sharing a photo of herself in the Oval Office.

A top Donald Trump loyalist at the Department of Justice has been mocked online for sharing a photo confusing the Declaration of Independence with the Constitution.

Harmeet Dhillon, a 2020 election denier who Trump picked as assistant attorney general for civil rights, posted a photo on X on Thursday showing her holding hands with the president in the Oval Office.

“I love the Constitution AND my favorite President!” Dhillon wrote. However, as many social media users pointed out, Dhillon was actually standing in front of the Declaration of Independence, not the historic document that outlines how the federal government operates and guarantees the rights and freedoms of U.S. citizens.

Attorneys with Romanucci & Blandin said a U.S. citizen minor was detained, restrained, and held without family contact for hours during the incident. Romanucci said, “This is how people disappear in autocracies—grabbed off streets, held in unmarked locations, no calls to family, no stated charges, no due process.”

‘They Are Phony Crime Stats’: Trump Makes Desperate Attempt To Justify His Federal Takeover Of Washington D.C. During Remarks At The White House

• ICE shooting in South L.A. exemplifies critics’ claim of clear recklessness across Trump administration departments, from military operations to immigration enforcement.
• Letters from Southern California residents highlight concerns about warrantless ICE invasions, excessive force and erosion of constitutional protections for immigrants and citizens.
• Federal actions from military exercises near Camp Pendleton to government shutdowns fuel accusations that the administration prioritizes enforcement over public safety and healthcare.

There is a clear pattern of recklessness by the Trump administration, transcending from one department to another of the federal government.

It ranges from the shooting by Immigration and Customs Enforcement in South L.A. (“ICE agent wounds deputy U.S. marshal and TikTok streamer, who is charged with assault,” Oct. 21), to firing dangerous live howitzer rounds over Interstate 5 near Camp Pendleton, to using excessive military force on small boats in the Caribbean that were allegedly carrying drugs, to the closure of the federal government, stalling negotiations on the problem created by devaluing healthcare funding that will harm millions of Americans.

What is clear is that the well-being and safety of American residents, whether undocumented immigrants or legal citizens, is of no concern to President Trump and his lieutenants. We see a program of cruelty to induce fear and to target anyone who disagrees with tactics to sidestep the Constitution and rules of law.

Letters to the Editor: Trump administration’s ‘clear pattern of recklessness’ affects us all

Pentagon boss Pete Hegseth faced yet another setback in his mission to rebrand the US military as a photogenic ‘warrior’ class following a lawsuit from school children.

The Defense Department was hit with the legal action after Hegseth ordered military schools to remove hundreds of books about race and sex due to their allegedly ‘woke‘ content.

Some of the banned books include Maya Angelou’s classic novel I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings and State of Emergency with a foreword by Cardi B.

In a shock move, a federal judge said Hegseth’s order violated First Amendment rights following a lawsuit brought on behalf of pre-K to 11th grade students.

The Secretary of Defense had in April ordered the removal of as many as 600 books from military bases in his effort to rid the department of ′ woke ′ DEI practises.

CNBC host Andrew Ross Sorkin called out House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) after he delayed swearing in Arizona Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva (D).

During a Thursday interview, CNBC host Joe Kernen noted that Johnson refused to seat the lawmaker after she said she would be the final vote needed to force the release of files on sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

“Okay, this is so absurd, and I’ve answered it so many times, but I’ll do it again,” Johnson complained. “I’m following the Pelosi precedent. She was speaker here a long time. She did this many times.”

According to the speaker, former Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) took 25 days to swear in Rep. Julia Letlow (R-VA) after her special election.

…

In a lawsuit filed this week, Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes (D) noted that Pelosi had sworn in Letlow at a time of her choosing.

“[T]hen-Speaker Pelosi communicated with Dr. Letlow immediately after the election, and the swearing in was scheduled at a time convenient for all parties,” the lawsuit stated. “Ms. Grijalva would be delighted if Speaker Johnson would contact her to commit to a mutually agreeable time, as Speaker Pelosi did for Dr. Letlow.”
