During a portion of an interview aired on Wednesday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Hannity,” President Donald Trump argued that California should not get any money for disaster relief until there are changes made to the state’s water policies. Trump continued, “This is a political thing, I don’t know what it is, they talk about the Delta smelt, it’s a little tiny fish like this, they say it’s an endangered species. Well, how is it endangered? No wonder it’s endangered, it’s not getting any water.” Trump also stated that the Delta smelt isn’t really endangered, protecting the fish isn’t the actual rationale for California’s water policies, and that a large sum of money will be needed for Los Angeles in the wake of the fires. Fox News first reported on the contents of the handwritten letter left behind for Trump. “Dear President Trump,” it begins. “As I take leave of this sacred office I wish you and your family all the best in the next four years.” “The American people – and people around the world – look to this house for steadiness in the inevitable storms of history, and my prayer is that in the coming years will be a time of prosperity, peace, and grace for our nation,” Biden continued. “May God bless you and guide you as He has blessed and guided our beloved country since our founding,” he added. President Donald Trump encouraged Russian President Vladimir Putin to “make a deal” and shut down the Ukrainian war or face economic punishment from the United States. Trump vowed on the campaign trail that he would bring the Ukrainian war to a close after President Joe Biden appeared to only fuel the war with arms and economic aid. President Donald Trump, who was sworn into office on Monday for his second term, is requiring all federal workers to return to the office full-time. His executive order directs federal agencies to order their employees to come back to work in-person after working remotely, NPR reported on Monday. In a social media post on Tuesday, Trump’s son, Donald Trump Jr., shared video footage of his father signing the order requiring government workers to be back in the office. “No more showing up to work one day a month. If you’re going to collect a paycheck from the government, you actually have to show up to work! President Trump signs order mandating federal workers show up in-person for work,” Trump Jr. wrote. Tom Homan, President Donald Trump's border czar, told Fox News that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents have launched large-scale raids targeting criminal illegal aliens, marking a significant shift in immigration policy. He stated that "public safety threats" will be prioritized. Homan confirmed to Fox that ICE raids of illegal aliens have "already started ... ICE teams are out there as of today. We gave them direction: prioritize public safety threats. Teams are out there effective today." In a separate report, NBC News said Homan had assigned more agents into the field to carry out arrests of criminal illegal aliens. "We have more people assigned to the mission," Homan said but declined to specify a number. Homan recently told Fox News host Jesse Watters that the raids will be nationwide: "It's going to be a big raid all across the country." Here's a recap of Trump's executive orders on immigration (courtesy of NBC News): End birthright citizenship for future children born to mothers who are in the United States unlawfully or temporarily unless the child's father is here legally and permanently Direct federal agencies to identify countries that do not provide sufficient information on their nationals and to bar those nationals from entry to the U.S. Send the military to the border by declaring a national emergency Halt all refugee admissions into the United States until policy "aligns" with U.S. interests Designate cartels and migrant gangs MS-13 and Tren de Aragua as foreign terrorist organizations Restrict federal funds from sanctuary cities and potentially take legal action against them Require immigrants unlawfully in the United States to register and be fingerprinted End the CBP One program and the parole program for Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans and Venezuelans Deny public benefits to unauthorized immigrants Reinstate the "Remain in Mexico" policy
