News when you want it with Bloomberg News Now, I'm Doug Krisner. Five-year-old Liam Ramos and his father are back in Minnesota after being released from an ICE detention facility in Texas following a judge's order. The boy and his dad were detained by immigration agents in Minnesota on January 20th. Today, Texas Republican Michael McCaul spoke about federal immigration enforcement on CBS Face the Nation.
Michael McCaul 0:53
I still believe the American people want us to remove dangerous, violent criminals from the streets, but they don't want to see these images of children and people being dragged out of their cars and U.S. citizens. Those excessive use of forces cases need to stop.
Doug Krisner 1:09
Meantime, there were protests this weekend across the U.S. over the shootings of American citizens Renee Good and Alex Preddy, both shot by ICE agents. Oklahoma City Mayor David Holt spoke about it on CBS Face the Nation.
David Holt 1:23
We have enforced immigration laws in this country for over a century. ICE has been around for two decades. There was even a previous Trump administration. And in none of those times did you see this level of chaos in our cities.
Doug Krisner 1:36
Oklahoma City Mayor David Holt on CBS Face the Nation. The Senate passed a spending package late Friday to avert a long U.S. government shutdown. The White House and Democrats are continuing to negotiate on placing new limits on immigration raids. Right now, the government is in a partial shutdown. House lawmakers will return to Washington on Monday. House Speaker Mike Johnson tells NBC's Meet the Press he believes he has the Republican votes to end this partial shutdown.
Mike Johnson 2:04
Well, let's say I'm confident that we'll do it at least by Tuesday. We have a logistical challenge of getting everyone in town. And because of the conversation I had with Hakeem Jeffries, I know that we've got to pass a rule and probably do this mostly on our own. I think that's very unfortunate.
Doug Krisner 2:18
House Speaker Mike Johnson speaking on NBC's Meet the Press. In Iran, the country's supreme leader is warning of a regional war. This comes as tensions continue to mount over potential U.S. strikes on Tehran.

What recent immigration case involving a five-year-old and his father was discussed?

Doug Krisner 2:31
Here is Ayatollah Ali Khamenei speaking through a translator.
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei 2:34
We are not the instigators and we do not seek to attack any country. But the Iranian nation will deliver a firm blow to anyone who attacks or harasses it. The Americans must be aware that if they wage war this time, it will be a regional war.
Doug Krisner 2:51
Despite the threat from Khomeini, President Trump said he is hopeful that a deal with Iran can be reached over its nuclear program. Back in the States, President Trump has nominated Kevin Warsh to be the next chair of the Federal Reserve, and if he is confirmed by the Senate, Warsh would succeed current chair Jay Powell, whose term ends in May. White House economic advisor Kevin Hassett told Fox News that Warsh is the right guy to lead the Fed and ultimately lower interest rates.
Kevin Hassett 3:18
Kevin Warsh is the right person at the right time, and he's a very independent, data-driven person. The president believes that if you are data-driven and not partisan, he thinks the Fed has been partisan, that rates could be a lot lower, and I think that Warsh agrees with that, and I agree with that.
Doug Krisner 3:34
That is Kevin Hassett, director of the NEC, speaking on the Sunday briefing on Fox. The Supreme Court has set a date to hear a major piece of President Trump's effort to reshape immigration policy. We have the story from Bloomberg's Nathan Hager in Washington.
Nathan Hager 3:49
The justices have set April 1st for arguments on the president's executive order to redefine birthright citizenship. It's the first time the high court will squarely take up the order that President Trump signed on his first day back in office to restrict automatic citizenship to people with at least one parent who is a U.S.
