.@POTUS @realDonaldTrump: I make a direct appeal to immediately fire @Sec_Noem. Americans have died. She is betraying DHS's core mission and trashing your border security legacy. DO NOT make the mistake President Biden made for not firing a grossly incompetent DHS Secretary.

Schumer has demanded that Republicans separate the DHS funding bill from five other spending bills for many other agencies and said Democrats would vote for those bills to keep the government open.

On Saturday, the same day that federal agents shot and killed Alex Pretti on a Minneapolis street, the Justice Department sent a letter to Minnesota Governor Tim Walz.

The nation was gripped with fear and horror, and President George W. Bush put the bipartisanship-seeking Ridge in charge of making sure there wouldn't be another terrorist strike. The new Cabinet-level entity that he would lead mashed together more than 20 federal agencies under one Orwellian name.

At DHS, Evans quickly became known as the final gatekeeper' for all funding requests, Cohen wrote.

The current official, who was not authorized to speak publicly on the matter and spoke on condition of anonymity, said 12 ICE field office directors - the officers who run the network of field offices around the country responsible for immigration enforcement - were being reassigned.
