News when you want it with Bloomberg News Now, I'm Amy Morris. President Trump is shrinking the EPA more quickly and aggressively than ever, culminating in this week's move to rescind the crucial endangerment finding.
This determination had no basis, in fact, had none whatsoever. And it had no basis in law.
It marks the reversal of a key scientific determination that greenhouse gases are harmful. Former EPA officials warn the changes could boost pollution and exacerbate health conditions like asthma, cardiovascular disease, and neurological development issues. President Trump has agreed to end sweeping federal immigration operations in Minnesota. White House Border Czar Tom Homan.
As a result of this surge operation, we have greatly reduced the number of targets for enforcement action. And many criminal aliens have been arrested and taken off the streets, including murderers, sex offenders, national security threats, gang members, and other violent criminals.
Holman says a small footprint of personnel will stay on hand for some time to close out and transition full command and control back to the field office.
Our officers will carry out their duties with professionalism, integrity, and compassion like we've done for years. We will enforce immigration law against all persons in the United States illegally.
The decision marks a major step to de-escalate an operation that sparked protests and congressional scrutiny over the Trump administration's tactics, including the killings of two U.S. citizens. Republican Senator Shelley Moore Capito is doubtful DHS funding is likely to pass ahead of the deadline and that Representative Rosa DeLauro's proposal to pull out ICE from that proposal is only going to make things more polarized and more political.

But that critical piece of Homeland Security and all likelihood will shut down.

The resignation comes amid internal disagreement at the Justice Department over merger enforcement. The White House is trying to ramp up pressure on JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon to cap credit card interest rates. White House Trade Advisor Peter Navarro.
Jamie Dimon, lower your friggin' credit card interest rates. You are a criminal the way you charge the American people at $22.25. And the president wants you to lower that. So until, Jamie, until you do that, please refrain from commenting on other public policies.
Trump's push for a year-long 10% limit on interest rates has drawn pushback from some of the largest banks. Diamond last month said the move would spark an economic disaster for the U.S. Navarro also says the North American trade pact has significant flaws, but he sidestepped questions about whether the U.S. would leave the USMCA deal.
