It's known as a bustling shopping district, but recently foot traffic in Little Village has plummeted by half. Wow.

Yeah, there were quite a few defiant statements made during the transition by local leaders of these jurisdictions, and many will presumably stand by them, but some have softened. For instance, the Denver mayor just a few weeks ago was threatening to deploy police to stop federal immigration agents from entering the city.

He's now saying the city will work with immigration officials at least to deport violent criminals. This comes as the Department of Justice has directed federal prosecutors to look into local officials who try to get in ICE's way. But perhaps as persuasive as the DOJ, recent polls say that Americans back Trump's deportation agenda. Listen to this clip of CNN poll analyst Harry Enten explain.

Trump has already made good on his promise to use the military to help secure the border. It's not clear how many troops will end up on the border, but according to CNN, the Pentagon has directed an initial wave of about 1,500 troops to assist border personnel.

Now, that's on top of about 2,200 troops that were already stationed at the border to help out with logistical and bureaucratic work while border agents do the actual enforcement. According to CNN, up to 10,000 troops could be sent to the border by President Trump.

Thanks for having me.

Well, John, after a pretty smooth week of hearings, Democrats are starting to drag their feet on confirming Trump's nominees. Pam Bondi, Trump's pick to be attorney general, was supposed to go up for a vote yesterday. But on Tuesday, Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee pushed the hearing for at least a week. They didn't give a reason why, and they don't have to.

They didn't give a reason why, and they don't have to.

Any member of the committee can place a hold on any agenda item for a week at minimum. Now, this was a little bit surprising. Bondi had a few clashes with Democrats during her hearing, but otherwise it went pretty smooth. But it seems like because hearings went so smooth, Democrats are now trying delay tactics to keep Trump from confirming his nominees.

Democrats have tried on numerous occasions to extend questioning beyond the scheduled hearing day. And these delays are starting to add up. By this time in 2009, Barack Obama already had eight cabinet secretaries confirmed. And by this point in 2017, Trump had three cabinet secretaries installed, including his Secretaries of Defense and Homeland Security.

Well, the legacy media has spent the past few days salivating a new story about Hegseth. NBC was the first to report the story in which Hegseth's ex-sister-in-law claims that he physically abused his ex-wife. Now, judging from the headlines on NBC, The New York Times and The Washington Post, you'd think this was a pretty open and shut story. There's just one problem.

Samantha Hegseth denies that her ex-husband ever abused her. She signed legal documents to that effect and when reached for comment by NBC, denied it once again. And while the headlines all kind of imply this was Hegseth's ex-wife's sister, it's actually Hegseth's brother's ex-wife.
