What are the key updates in today's AM Update?
Good morning, everyone. I'm Megyn Kelly. It's Tuesday, March 11th, 2025, and this is your AM Update.
We're out of money. I mean, we'll run out of beds in two weeks.
As the shutdown deadline looms, Borders are Tom Homan warning Congress, immigration officials are running out of money fast.
I'm confident if we have the right policies, it'll be a very smooth transition.
Trump officials seeking to ease economic concerns as markets tumble amid tariff wars. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau finally ousted by his party. And what's behind the sudden rise of Democrat Senator Chris Murphy? All that and more coming up in just a moment on your AM Update. Okay, so you're thinking about what to get that person who has everything. Or maybe you are that person that has everything and you just happen to appreciate the finer things. Well, do you want something really special? Consider hot salt. This is such a unique, fun gift. Yes, hot salt. Exquisite, savory heat. Now you're interested. So let me tell you about Firecracker Farm, a wonderful little family company that makes hot salt, a delightful spice infused sea salt.
It has the perfect amount of heat and amazing flavor that makes everything taste better. Word is getting out and people are loving it. And that is because it's made with love. People can feel it and taste it. It's a small batch, family operation, so supplies are limited. It comes in sleek, stainless steel push grinders, really cool. Plus you can take them anywhere. When you run out, they have refills. A little too spicy for you? Just mix it in with some regular sea salt to tame the heat, but you won't need to. It's blended to perfection. Honestly, it's the best thing to happen to food since fire. So what are you waiting for? Go to firecracker.farm. right now and use the code MK at checkout for a special discount. That's firecracker.farm, code MK.
Get some hot salt before it's all gone. You're going to thank me. House Speaker Mike Johnson likely to hold a vote later today on a six-month funding extension to avert a government shutdown. The deadline, 11.59 p.m. on Friday, just three days away. With the House so narrowly divided and the funding bill facing full Democratic opposition, Speaker Johnson has little room for error.
How is the government shutdown affecting immigration policies?
Republican congressman from Kentucky, Thomas Massey, remaining firm in his opposition, which means every other GOP member must vote yes in order for this bill to pass the House. Three GOP congressmen expressing some hesitation. Texas Congressman Tony Gonzalez telling CNN he'll make a game time decision. Political reporting Pennsylvania Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick and Florida Congressman Corey Mills also on the fence. Speaker Johnson, however, appearing confident he has the votes, telling reporters, quote, No one wants to shut the government down, and we are doing the responsible thing as Republicans. Speaker Johnson saying it will then be up to Senate Democrats to do the right thing. However, the hurdle to clear the Senate, getting a little bit higher with Republican Senator from Kentucky Rand Paul's announcement, he will be voting no. Senator Paul posting on X, quote, the bill continues spending at the inflated pandemic levels and will add $2 trillion to the debt this year. Count me as a hell no.
Democrats oppose the bill, saying it takes away the power of the purse from Congress, handing too much control to President Trump. As the fight over government spending continues, the strain on immigration enforcement is becoming more urgent.
We're out of money. I mean, we'll run out of beds in two weeks. I mean, we're at about 46,000 in custody now. We ought to be about 65,000 at this point in time. And when we run out of beds, as soon as we stop interior enforcement operations, because when we arrest somebody, we've got to have a bed to put them in for removal. So Congress does, and they need to get us the funding we need so this administration can keep the promises they made to American people.
What changes have been made to the CBP app?
The CR contains nearly $500 million in additional funding for immigration enforcement. Officials say they need the funding to expedite the removal of criminal aliens from within the country. Homeland Security Today announcing an upgrade to the Biden administration's CBP One app. The app allowed more than one million migrants to apply for asylum prior to arrival in the U.S.
