Vice President JD Vance on Thursday attended the White House briefing to address the fatal ICE-involved shooting, nationwide fraud schemes, and other issues. Vance announced the creation of a new Assistant Attorney General position to investigate fraud nationwide. The new position will be Senate-confirmed, and Senate Majority Leader Thune has promised a swift confirmation. The new assistant attorney general’s work will begin in Minnesota after it was revealed that Somali fraudsters stole billions of dollars of taxpayer money in various schemes. “It has all the benefits, all the resources, all the authority of a special counsel, but with two crucial differences,” Vance said. Vance continued, “Number one, it will be run out of the White House under the supervision of me and the President United States.” “And number two, it’s actually constitutionally legitimate. As you guys may know, the special counsel statute has some major constitutional questions,” he said. “When we get the bad guys, we want to make sure we get them permanently, and they don’t have some legal technicality they can get out of, which is why we set it up as an associate attorney general,” he said. 2026 started out with a bang! CNBC reporter Rick Santtelli was thrilled with the numbers out today. Rick Santelli:“Buckle up, THIS IS UNREAL… $29.4 billion, we cut it IN HALF!… “In March it was $136B. Now, under $30B. We haven’t been that small in a long time – I don’t have enough RECORDS to go back that far!” https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/01/trump-gets-results-us-trade-deficit-falls-lowest/ White House Spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt amplified claims about American special forces super-soliders deployed advanced weaponry during the extraction phase of former Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro. Leavitt reposted an alleged account from a Venezuelan security guard at Maduro's compound describing what happened when Delta Force operators descended from helicopters in pitch-black conditions. This account was originally posted on X by California-based political activist Mike Netter, who is seeking to recall left-wing Governor Gavin Newsom. "On the day of the operation, we didn't hear anything coming. We were on guard, but suddenly all our radar systems shut down without any explanation. The next thing we saw were drones, a lot of drones, flying over our positions. We didn't know how to react," the security guard on Maduro's compound said. This account was considered credible enough for Leavitt to repost. Interviewer: So what happened next? How was the main attack? Security Guard: After those drones appeared, some helicopters arrived, but there were very few. I think barely eight helicopters. From those helicopters, soldiers came down, but a very small number. Maybe twenty men. But those men were technologically very advanced. They didn't look like anything we've fought against before. Interviewer: And then the battle began? Security Guard: Yes, but it was a massacre. We were hundreds, but we had no chance. They were shooting with such precision and speed... it seemed like each soldier was firing 300 rounds per minute. We couldn't do anything. Interviewer: And your own weapons? Didn't they help? Security Guard: No help at all. Because it wasn't just the weapons. At one point, they launched something—I don't know how to describe it... it was like a very intense sound wave. Suddenly I felt like my head was exploding from the inside. We all started bleeding from the nose. Some were vomiting blood. We fell to the ground, unable to move. Those twenty men, without a single casualty, killed hundreds of us. We had no way to compete with their technology, with their weapons. I swear, I've never seen anything like it. We couldn't even stand up after that sonic weapon or whatever it was. What happened here is going to change a lot of things, not just in Venezuela but throughout the region. There is no way to independently verify Netter's X post, and it reads like narrative warfare, amplified by the White House, seemingly designed to intimidate Latin American governments under socialist regimes. The Trump administration on Tuesday announced it will end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Somalia, which will affect thousands of Somalis living in the country. “Temporary means temporary. Country conditions in Somalia have improved to the point that it no longer meets the law’s requirement for Temporary Protected Status,” Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem said in a statement. The United States first granted Somalia TPS in 1991 as part of an ongoing civil war in the country; President Joe Biden extended its TPS in September 2024. Widespread fraud has reached billions of dollars of taxpayer-funded programs involving the Somali community across the country, especially in Minnesota. Noem explained about the alleged criminal enterprise running in Minnesota: And many of the times we’ve dug into this and it’s [enabled by] immigration fraud [within Somali clans]. They came into this country lying on their [identity] documents, why they could come and why they were eligible to use our [refugee] programs. [President] Joe Biden facilitated this all, and as we uncover more of this criminal activity, we’re going to continue to surge resources to make sure that this abuse of government funds and government [immigration] power no longer continues in Minnesota.
