The current position of the Republicans in Congress: They would change nothing that ICE and CBP are doing, and they'd allow massive increases in funding for what they're now doing to go ahead. They're just fine with the current policies, practices, and governance of ICE and CBP.

Bovino was not just following orders but he’s no rogue - like everyone in this murderous lawless admin he must be held totally responsible for his words and deeds & that should not get any higher ups off the hook but have the opposite effect. He served as he was let go: at the president’s pleasure.

Alina Habba's plea for an en banc re-hearing over her disqualification has been rejected. The ruling that she was unlawfully appointed stands.
The 3d Circuit has denied rehearing en banc of the panel decision finding that Alina Habba had been unlawfully appointed as US Attorney. However, 3 of the 11 en banc judges would have granted rehearing, and one will later publish a dissent.

pretty wild statement re: Republican Chris Madel drop from race for MN governor:
