“The Justice Department on Friday issued a legal opinion giving the U.S. military broader powers to detain migrants accused of trespassing in areas that the Department of Defense controls as part of President Trump’s crackdown at the southern border,” CBS News reports.

“Four days after Alex Pretti was fatally shot while filming officers taking part in the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown in Minnesota, the Homeland Security Department quietly opened an investigation at its office in St. Paul,” the New York Times reports.

“The target was not the Border Patrol agents who had killed Mr. Pretti, a 37-year-old government nurse, in late January. Instead, it was several left-leaning political organizations — labor unions, a climate change group, socialist collectives — that investigators believed had provided help and money to what they described as the ‘violent opportunists and agitators’ on the street.”

“Starting last fall, the Department of Homeland Security spent $464 million on a no-bid contract to buy 10 used airplanes from a firm in Northern Virginia,” the New York Times reports.

“That was an enormous price tag, but the department said it had no time to consider other offers. The planes were needed urgently for deportation flights.”

“But since then, the department has barely used this new fleet — for deportations, or anything else.”

“The U.S. State Department announced on Monday that it has revoked more than 175,000 visas during President Donald Trump’s administration so far,” Fox News reports.

“The Trump administration’s new strategy of purchasing privately owned detention centers has already flooded one company with cash, and it’s worrying immigration advocates that it will upend local oversight efforts,” NOTUS reports.

“Over the past two months, the Department of Homeland Security has purchased four lockups in California, Minnesota and Kansas totaling $2.2 billion from CoreCivic, one of two major players in the immigration detention industry.”

“Just 4½ months after replacing Kristi Noem as Homeland Security secretary, Markwayne Mullin is feeling the heat from President Trump’s MAGA enforcers,” Axios reports.

”Mullin provoked border czar Tom Homan with an ICE nominee who has limited immigration experience, had to walk back changes in immigration policy, and angered the MAGA base with talk of immigration reform.”

”Some MAGA activists see Mullin, a former U.S. senator from Oklahoma, as too soft on immigration and are already agitating for his ouster.”

“President Trump is growing increasingly frustrated with Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin after Mullin made a series of off-message remarks recently that angered many of the president’s outside allies,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

“Trump tapped Mullin, a close ally when he served in the Senate, to take over the homeland security post after he fired Kristi Noem in March. At the time, Trump told advisers he had tired of the infighting and drama at the Department of Homeland Security. When Mullin started the job, he told associates his marching orders were to keep the agency out of the news.”

“But a little more than four months into Mullin’s tenure, the president is souring on him, viewing Mullin as weak and off message, the people said.”

“President Trump on Thursday signed two executive orders in his latest effort to refuse citizenship to some children born in the United States, after the Supreme Court struck down his earlier executive order aiming to end birthright citizenship,” CBS News reports.

Said Trump: “We had a very unfortunate decision in the Supreme Court concerning birthright, it was close. But a very, very unfortunate decision. So we’re making adjustments.”
