The Trump administration won't last forever. What happens after its gone? - LGBTQ Nation

Donald Trump isn't going to be president forever, much as he would like to declare himself immortal. At some point, his unpopularity will catch up with him. It may be in the next midterms, as Democrats are increasingly dreaming about recapturing both houses of Congress. It could be in the run-up to the 2028 election, when Trump will have to contend with his lame duck status, even if he tries to run again as an 82-year-old.

ICE Offers Up to $280 Million to Immigrant-Tracking 'Bounty Hunter' Firms

Contractors would confirm home and work addresses for people targeted for removal by-among other techniques-photographing residences, documenting comings and goings, and staking out workplaces and apartment complexes. Those filings cast the initiative as a substantial but limited pilot program. Contractors were guaranteed as little as $250 and could earn no more than $90 million each, with the overall program capped at $180 million. That structure pointed to meaningful scale but still framed the effort as a controlled trial, not an integral component of ICE's removal operations.
