Coast Guard assets, including cutters, aircraft and boats, are being deployed to the waters near Florida and the Bahamas to deter these illegal crossings. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis says Florida is shouldering the burden of Biden-era immigration failures and will act to protect local communities.

Yeah, Chicago is the first city to be hit with a lawsuit over its rules designed to protect illegal aliens from federal immigration officers. Here's Bondi on Fox News with Sean Hannity last night.

The Justice Department filed the lawsuit on Thursday. As far as the state is concerned, state law forbids local law enforcement from holding someone over an ICE detainer. A city ordinance adds to that. Officials are barred from helping ICE officials arrest illegal aliens. Of course, many more places than Chicago have these types of rules or guidance.

This is only the start of the Trump administration's crackdown.

Well, it's a good question, and it's going to be litigated. One of the tools that the Trump administration has used to pressure sanctuary cities is to cut them off from federal funds. Opponents say that's an overreach of executive authority. Legally, it's an open question. The first Trump administration also used this leverage, and it spawned numerous lawsuits and court rulings.

But when President Joe Biden took over, his administration dropped the policy before it was brought before the Supreme Court. The other lever that the White House is using to get its way is through direct legal action like the lawsuit against Chicago. The lawsuit alleges essentially that the city is aiding and abetting criminals.

White House border czar Tom Homan appeared on Fox News Thursday and was militant that local officials should get out of ICE's way.

Maybe. ICE did have another instance where its plans for a raid against suspected Trendy Aragua members were leaked. Homan was pretty furious about it, and he wants Bondi and the DOJ involved here, too.

So operational security has been a problem for ICE. Homan is working on it. He said Thursday he'll probably stop ride-alongs for the media to control more variables. But deportations have moved forward. They're at about 12,000 now since Trump entered office less than three weeks ago. The number keeps ticking up every week. Tim, thanks for joining us. Good to be on.

The move comes just days after reports surfaced that CBS may settle President Trump's $10 billion lawsuit, which claims the network manipulated Harris' responses ahead of the 2024 election. CBS insists its edits were routine, but critics argue key portions were omitted. The release follows mounting pressure from both the public and the FCC.

FCC Chairman Brendan Carr says the agency is investigating whether CBS violated the agency's news distortion policy by selectively airing portions of Harris's responses to a question about Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Here's what aired in a promo.
