Our federal employees keep this nation running, yet Trump is punishing them during this government shutdown. I stood with our TSA workers and air traffic controllers to call out this disgrace. I’ll never stop fighting for our federal workers.

Glad to join this letter. All parties must be held accountable to fully implement the ceasefire agreement and build a path toward lasting peace so Israelis and Palestinians can live in freedom, security, and dignity in states of their own.

As we work to enforce two court orders directing Trump to release emergency SNAP funds, LA County is surging food assistance to those in need. Food is available for pickup now at your local LA Regional Food Bank food pantry. Find the nearest one to you:

Two federal judges have ordered the Trump Administration to disburse SNAP emergency funds. Yet today, millions of Americans are still uncertain about where their next meal will come from without these benefits. Trump must follow the law and release this funding NOW.

Trump is assaulting the free press at home and abroad, allowing disinformation to flourish around the world. As Ranking Member of the subcommittee in charge of public diplomacy, I'll continue to hold Kari Lake accountable for her gutting of real news to make way for propaganda.

As the RSF's atrocities reach a fever pitch in Sudan, it's imperative that we act to stop this genocide, which I called on Sec. Blinken to designate last year. The US must hold the UAE accountable for its support of the RSF & halt weapons transfers until they stop arming the RSF.

Trump is creating a secret police force to deploy into and terrorize American cities as he pleases. I introduced an amendment to defund it in our annual defense spending bill, and Republicans wouldn't even put it up for a vote. They are complicit in this assault on our freedoms.

Spare me your crocodile tears, Sen. Thune. If there's anyone you should be directing your anger towards, it's your overlord Donald Trump—he's illegally withholding emergency funding for SNAP and ordering you to not negotiate with Democrats. Those are the real political games.

ICE & Border Patrol are a danger to public safety—not just for immigrant communities, but for every American. If they will assault and gravely injure a 67-year-old U.S. citizen for simply going back to his house, they could come for you too.

In July, I pressed the senior State Department official in charge of this camp on the stranded Afghans, and he didn't even know of its existence. We must pass my Enduring Welcome Act—which has passed in @houseforeign.bsky.social—to resettle the Afghan allies who risked everything to help the U.S.

Apparently "the most meaningful work" of House Republicans' lives is burying the Epstein files, forcing people to go hungry, letting Trump recklessly kidnap people and blow up boats in the Caribbean, and... leaf blowing??

The cruelty and chaos of Trump's ICE raids are about to increase. The claim that they were going after "criminals" was always a lie—now they're straight-up abandoning that principle.

🚨BIG changes happening -- ICE leadership is being purged tonight. The old guard, which prioritized targeted enforcement operations aimed at people with criminal records, is being replaced with Border Patrol and Gregory Bovino's "Midway Blitz" style. Think things are bad now? It'll get worse.

Bill Melugin
@BillMelugin_
BREAKING: Per four senior DHS & Trump admin sources, a mass removal of ICE leadership around the country is underway, with up to 12 ICE field office chiefs being removed & reassigned in an effort to increase deportation numbers. I'm told the move is spearheaded by Corey Lewandowski, and a handful of the ICE Chiefs will likely be replaced by Border Patrol & CBP officials, some of whom will be hand-picked by aggressive & controversial Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino. I'm told some of the ICE leadership removed from their positions include the ICE Field Office Directors in:

- Los Angeles
- Phoenix
- Philadelphia
- Denver
- El Paso
- San Diego
- Seattle/Portland
- New Orleans

Border Patrol officials taking over ICE leadership positions would be extremely significant, as Border Patrol and ICE do different things, and I've done numerous ride-alongs/embeds with both.

Generally speaking, ICE typically conducts very targeted operations, largely going after criminal illegal aliens or those with deportation orders, but almost always knowing who they are targeting for arrest, often conducting surveillance to learn their schedules before and waiting hours before arresting them if needed.

Border Patrol, under Trump 2.0, while sometimes doing their own targeted operations, has been extremely aggressive and has been at the forefront of some of the most controversial immigration enforcement operations we've seen so far, carrying out roving patrols in Los Angeles, Chicago, etc, often at Home Depot, car washes, flea markets etc, leading to a handful of federal judges around the country issuing injunctions against them. A majority of the viral videos you see online are Border Patrol agents, including the use of a Trojan horse style Penske moving truck at a Los Angeles Home Depot, an operation organized by Bovino.

ICE often gets blamed for what Border Patrol does, as the media and activists often cannot tell the difference between federal agents, and everyone is called "ICE". I'm told there are growing concerns about the political and PR fallout associated with some of the roving patrols Border Patrol is conducting as lawsuits continue to stack up and mid-terms approach next year.

I'm told there is significant friction within different wings of DHS and the administration, with Border Czar Tom Homan & ICE Director Todd Lyons preferring to prioritize targeting criminal aliens & the "worst of the worst" or those with deportation orders, while DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, Corey Lewandowski, and BP Commander Bovino prefer to use aggressive tactics to arrest anyone in the US illegally, including but not limited to criminals, to ramp up deportation numbers and achieve President Trump's promises of mass deportations.

I am hearing from both sides of this friction.

One senior DHS official tells me:

"ICE started with the worst of the worst, knowing every target they are hitting, but since Border Patrol started in LA in June, we've (DHS) lost our focus, going too hard, too fast, with limited prioritization. It's getting numbers, but at what cost?".

Border Patrol agents I've talked to defend their tactics, with one telling me:

"What did everyone think mass deportations meant? Only the worst? Tom Homan has said it himself, anyone in the US illegally is on the table."

It's quite a situation, as both sides of this are on the same team, with the same end goals, but different perspectives on how to get there.

Another DHS official confirmed the personnel changes to me on deep background, adding that the moves are based on performance and doing what is needed to achieve the best results.

"While we have no personnel changes to announce at this time, the Trump Administration remains laser focused on delivering results and removing violent criminal illegal aliens from this country."
