Just days after he paused immigration enforcement at worksites in farming and hospitality, President Trump is resuming Immigration and Customes Enforcement (ICE) raids in those industries.
Trump's latest move clarifies that there are no "safe spaces" where illegal aliens can find shelter from the law, the Trump administration explained.
“There will be no safe spaces for industries who harbor violent criminals or purposely try to undermine ICE’s efforts,” Tricia McLaughlin, an assistant secretary for DHS, told the Washington Post.
“Worksite enforcement remains a cornerstone of our efforts to safeguard public safety, national security and economic stability," she added.
The president's initial decision to exempt farmers and hospitality workers from ICE raids came as a disappointment to many Trump supporters, who saw the move as detrimental to his mass deportation pledge.
Within the administration, immigration hawk Stephen Miller, one of the architects of Trump's crackdown on illegal immigration, voiced objections to making carveouts, as business executives and Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins raised concerns to Trump about labor shortages.
In a Truth Social post, Trump had initially signaled "changes are coming" to "help out farmers."
Hours later, ICE agents were directed by the Department of Homeland Security to "hold on all worksite enforcement investigations/operations on agriculture (including aquaculture and meat packing plants), restaurants and operating hotels.”
By Sunday, Trump was hardening his stance again as he ordered ICE to expand operations in "Democratic power centers" with large illegal populations, like Los Angeles, where anti-ICE riots exploded earlier this month.
On Sunday, word began to spread among ICE and Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) supervisors that the White House did not support the exemption, the Washington Post reported.
The news was confirmed in a nationwide call Monday with 30 field offices, which were told to "continue conducting immigration raids at agricultural businesses, hotels and restaurants," according to two people familiar with the call.
Immigration advocates have long argued that the illegal labor force performs undesirable work that Americans will not do themselves, but supporters of Trump's mass deportations say a reduction in cheap, foreign labor will force employers to raise wages, making the jobs that "Americans won't do" more attractive to citizens.
As a logistical matter, Trump likely cannot meet his ambitious deportation goals without raiding the locations where illegal aliens tend to work, including farms and hotels.
By once again targeting those places, Trump is getting back on track and making it clear that illegal aliens face removal from the U.S., wherever they happen to work.
Tulsi Gabbard accused the media of trying to divide her and President Trump after he appeared to contradict her assessment of Iran's nuclear capabilities.
“President Trump was saying the same thing that I said," Gabbard, who is Trump's intelligence director, said. "We are on the same page."
While speaking with reporters on Air Force One, Trump was asked by CNN's Kaitlan Collins to comment on Gabbard's March testimony that Iran is not actively building a nuclear weapon.
Trump's response created waves. “I don’t care what she said,” Trump replied. “I think they were very close to having one.”
The White House says Gabbard was taken out of context in her testimony, which noted that Iran's enriched uranium stockpile is "unprecedented" for a country that has no nukes.
“In the past year, we’ve seen an erosion of a decades-long taboo in Iran on discussing nuclear weapons in public, likely emboldening nuclear weapons advocates within Iran’s decision-making apparatus. Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile is at its highest levels and is unprecedented for a state without nuclear weapons," Gabbard said.
While Gabbard's comments may have been twisted, a divide has become apparent between non-interventionists in the MAGA movement, such as Tucker Carlson, and hawks who want the U.S. to support Israel in its conflict with Iran.
The war erupted last week when Israel carried out what it described as pre-emptive strikes to stop Iran from getting a nuclear bomb. Trump has faced criticism from some on the right for warming up to an intervention, but Trump has pointed out that he has always opposed letting Iran develop a nuclear weapon.
Gabbard, an Iraq War vet, is one of the most prominent non-interventionist voices in the Trump White House. She has frequently cited the notoriously misleading intelligence about weapons of mass destruction (WMDs) in Iraq as a cautionary tale about foreign intervention.
Days before Israel's attack on Iran, Gabbard shared an ominous video about "warmongers" leading the U.S. toward nuclear apocalypse.
"We are closer to the brink of nuclear annihilation than ever before," she said in the clip.
Members of the Trump administration, including Vice President J.D. Vance, have defended Gabbard, rejecting the notion of a rift between her and Trump.
"Tulsi Gabbard is a veteran, a patriot, a loyal supporter of President Trump, and a critical part of the coalition he built in 2024," Vance wrote.
"She's an essential member of our national security team, and we're grateful for her tireless work to keep America safe from foreign threats."

As President Donald Trump considers having U.S. Armed Forces join Israel in its effort to end Iran's development of nuclear weapons, the exiled crown prince of Iran says, "The Islamic Republic has come to its end and is collapsing."
In a post Tuesday on X, Reza Pahlavi said of Iran's supreme leader: "Khamenei, like a frightened rat, has gone into hiding underground and has lost control of the situation. What has begun is irreversible. The future is bright, and together, we will pass through this sharp turn in history."
Pahlavi posted a video of himself speaking Farsi, but also included an English version pleading with Iranian citizens to rise up and overthrow the current dictator's regime, saying:
In these difficult days, my heart is with all the defenseless citizens who have been harmed and have fallen victim to Khamenei's warmongering and delusions. For years, I have tried to prevent our homeland from being consumed by the fire of war.
The end of the Islamic Republic is the end of its 46-year war against the Iranian nation.
The regime's apparatus of repression is falling apart. All it takes now is a nationwide uprising to put an end to this nightmare once and for all.
Now is the time to rise; the time to reclaim Iran. Let us all come forward – from Bandar Abbas to Bandar Anzali, from Shiraz to Isfahan, from Tabriz to Zahedan, from Mashhad to Ahvaz, from Shahr-e Kord to Kermanshah – and bring about the end of this regime.
Do not fear the day after the fall of the Islamic Republic. Iran will not descend into civil war or instability. We have a plan for Iran's future and its flourishing. We are prepared for the first hundred days after the fall, for the transitional period, and for the establishment of a national and democratic government – by the Iranian people and for the Iranian people.
To the military, law enforcement, security forces, and state employees – many of whom have been sending me messages in recent days – I say: Do not stand against the Iranian people for the sake of a regime whose fall has begun and is inevitable. Do not sacrifice yourselves for a decaying regime. By standing with the people, you can save your lives. Play a historic role in the transition from the Islamic Republic, and take part in building the future of Iran.
A free and flourishing Iran lies ahead of us. May we be together soon.
As WorldNetDaily reported, Christiane Amanpour, CNN's chief international anchor who is also of Iranian heritage, says the people of Iran want to change the Islamic regime, and she suggests Pahlavi be the one to take over power.
Appearing on the BBC on Sunday, the left-leaning Amanpour said: "There is no doubt, and Pahlavi is right, and everybody who has reported, I grew up under the Pahlavis in Iran, and the people, you know, first of all chose the Islamic Republic instead of them, but now have seen that the Islamic Republic is so much harsher, is so much more punitive, gives so much fewer rights and is isolated from the world and the economy is appalling and it affects the people.
"So yes, I think from all my reporting, they want to change. He's the only one with name recognition, and whether it's for transitional or permanent leadership, I don't know what he wants, but he's considered the only one with any name recognition and any kind of support inside."

Billionaire Elon Musk, the former head of President Donald Trump's Department of Government Efficiency, took a shot Tuesday at the credibility of the Wall Street Journal, saying the newspaper "sucks" at journalism.
Musk posted a meme on X mocking the @WSJ handle of the publication, suggesting it stands for "We Suck at Journalism."
While Musk himself did not pinpoint what may have triggered his sentiment, his Grok artificial intelligence device explained, "Elon Musk's dislike for The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) stems from a series of critical articles they've published about him, which he and his supporters perceive as inaccurate, misleading, or agenda-driven. Here are the key reasons based on available information:
Critical Reporting on Personal and Professional Life: The WSJ has published several articles that Musk believes misrepresent him. For instance, a January 2024 report alleged pervasive drug use by Musk, raising concerns among his companies' directors, which he denied and labeled as "trash." Another April 2025 article claimed Musk was secretly trying to create a "legion" of offspring, citing controversial personal details, which Musk dismissed, comparing WSJ unfavorably to TMZ.
Tesla Succession Claims: In May 2025, the WSJ reported that Tesla's board was seeking a successor for Musk as CEO due to his focus on government roles and Tesla's declining stock price. Musk and Tesla's board called this "absolutely false," accusing the WSJ of unethical journalism for not including their denial. Musk publicly stated this was a "deliberately false article" and a "discredit to journalism."
DOGE and Government Role Criticism: The WSJ has scrutinized Musk's role in the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), including a February 2025 report about a team member's resignation after racist tweets surfaced, which Musk may have seen as unfairly targeting his leadership. Additionally, a December 2024 editorial criticized Musk and Trump over a "budget fiasco," suggesting Musk's influence led to governance issues, which likely fueled his frustration.
Perceived Bias and Sensationalism: Musk has repeatedly called out the WSJ for what he sees as biased or sensationalist reporting. In posts on X, he's described the WSJ as "the worst newspaper in the world," unfit even for "parrot droppings," and accused it of lying with "sheer audacity." His mother, Maye Musk, also criticized a WSJ article as "dishonest" in May 2025, reflecting a family sentiment against the outlet.
Broader Media Distrust: Musk's criticism aligns with his broader skepticism of mainstream media, particularly outlets like the WSJ, which he views as part of an establishment pushing narratives against him. He's suggested the WSJ's reporting is driven by motives to undermine his influence, especially given his high-profile role in Trump's administration and his ownership of X.
On the other hand, the WSJ has defended its reporting, stating in response to Tesla's denial that it stood by its claims and that Tesla was given a chance to comment before publication. Some argue Musk's reactions are strategic, redirecting attention from negative stories or rallying his base against perceived media bias. His public feuds, like challenging the WSJ to drug tests, amplify this narrative.
Musk's dislike seems rooted in a pattern of WSJ articles that he believes unfairly target his personal life, business decisions, and political influence, coupled with his distrust of traditional media. However, the WSJ's perspective suggests they're holding a powerful figure accountable, highlighting a tension between investigative journalism and Musk's public persona."
Just last week on June 10, the Journal posted a story titled, "U.S. Agencies Tracked Foreigners Traveling to See Musk."
The paper reported: "Several U.S. government agencies in 2022 and 2023 tracked foreign nationals coming and going to Elon Musk's properties, according to people familiar with the matter.
"The investigation included the Department of Homeland Security and the Justice Department. It focused on people visiting the tech billionaire, from countries in Eastern Europe and elsewhere, who might have been trying to influence him."
There is plenty of reaction to Musk's assertion about the Journal sucking, including:
"Perfect!"
"There is no coming back from that name."
"Don't remember the last time I VISITED any legacy corporate media websites like WSJ… Let alone read an article from them. X is where it's at."
"I had to get a subscription when in college- it was the biggest waste of paper I've ever seen! It was so far left even new college liberals were unimpressed!"
"I've been calling them this for years. I'm glad to see that a lot of people are starting to see it now."
"Every mainstream media does. It's what they do the best."
Elon Musk posted what appeared to be the negative results of a urinalysis to dispute claims that he uses drugs, the New York Post reported. The New York Times accused the former Department of Government Efficiency head of using drugs during the 2024 presidential campaign and beyond.
Musk's public behavior has indeed been erratic and at times intense. His public falling out with President Donald Trump seemed to confirm what many have been saying behind closed doors.
To combat these rumors, Musk posted what appeared to be a comprehensive panel for controlled substances, all showing "negative" or "normal" results. Musk shared this with the simple caption "lol" on X, formerly Twitter, on Tuesday.

The New York Times recently ran an explosive piece accusing Musk of using drugs, including ketamine, a tranquilizer used for anxiety. Musk has admitted to using a "small amount" occasionally, as directed by his doctor.
"If you’ve used too much ketamine, you can’t really get work done, and I have a lot of work," Musk said. However, the Times claims that sources said Musk ratcheted up his drug use during the campaign, using psychedlic mushrooms, ecstasy, Adderall, and ketamine.
Musk reportedly traveled with a medication organizer that contained about 20 pills and suffered from "bladder issues," which can be attributed to Ketamine use. Notably, the Times said Musk's infamous "Nazi salute," which was nothing but fabrication by the mainstream media, was possible proof of a drug problem.
The Wall Street Journal had also reported on Musk's use of the sleep aid Ambien, which worried the board members at Tesla where Musk acts as CEO. The Journal said Musk also allegedly used LSD, cocaine, and other drugs that left everyone around him unsettled.
With so many media reports about his drug use, it seems plausible that there's at least some truth to it. However, the most compelling argument is Musk's behavior, negative test results notwithstanding.
Regardless of whether or not there's truth behind the reports of drug use, it's difficult to deny that Musk provides plenty of reasons to speculate. Most recently, Musk went scorched earth on Trump after the two agreed to part ways.
In a series of social media posts, Musk claimed Trump couldn't release the files on accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein because the president was implicated in them. He also said Trump only won the 2024 presidential election thanks to the SpaceX mogul's help.
After several such posts, Musk finally deleted them and walked back his comments. "I regret some of my posts about President [Trump] last week. They went too far," Musk said.
As for Trump, he allegedly said privately that Musk was a "big-time drug addict," but wouldn't say so publicly. "I really don’t know. I don’t think so. I hope not," Trump said when a reporter asked about whether Musk was on drugs in the White House.
The document Musk posted showed that he had no drugs in his system. While there's no proof of anything otherwise, Musk should be careful about his behavior that fuels such rumors.
A federal judge found Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier in civil contempt of court Tuesday after he ignored a temporary restraining order on a state immigration law, Fox News reported. Uthmeier defied the order in support of President Donald Trump's border security agenda.
On April 29, U.S. District Judge Kathleen Williams had demanded Uthmeier demonstrate "why he should not be held in contempt or sanctioned" for violating the restraining order. She was unmoved by Uthmeier's reasoning and handed down this week's ruling.
Meanwhile, Uthmeier held it up as a badge of honor. "If being held in contempt is what it costs to defend the rule of law and stand firmly behind President Trump's agenda on illegal immigration, so be it," he posted to X, formerly Twitter, on Tuesday.

In February, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed the state law to make it a criminal offence for illegal immigrants to enter the Sunshine State. Predictably, the Florida Immigrant Coalition and other pro-illegal immigrant groups sued the state.
The judge ordered a 14-day temporary restraining order on April 4 and extended it for an additional 11 days after the Florida Highway Patrol made several arrests under the law, including one American citizen. In all, about a dozen arrests were made under the new law.
Beginning April 18, Florida law enforcement officials were bound under the temporary restraining order to halt additional arrests. It was up to Uthmeier to notify law enforcement throughout the state, which he did at first.
However, the attorney general apparently had a change of heart and sent a follow-up on April 23 advising officers "no judicial order…properly restrains you from" making arrests under the state's immigration law. Utmeier insisted that "no lawful, legitimate order currently impedes your agencies from continuing to enforce" the state statute.
This move led the court to demand that Uthmeier defend his violation and prevent a contempt charge, which he clearly was unable to do. Uthmeier has never wavered from his assertion that the temporary restraining order is unjust and that he doesn't need to follow it.
When faced with Williams' order, Uthmeier doubled down on his reject ion f Williams' order, NBC News reported. "This judge is considering whether or not to hold me in contempt," Uthmeier said in a May 6 interview, Williams recounted to implicate him.
"But I am not going to rubber-stamp her order. I’m not going to direct law enforcement to stand down on enforcing the Trump agenda and carrying out Florida’s law," Williams quoted Uthmeier as saying.
"I'm not going to bow down," he added. Uthmeier said in a separate interview that Williams is "issuing this order and saying you gotta tell them all to stand down. I’m not gonna do that."
This sealed the deal for Uthmeier's contempt charge. Williams noted that he was "free to broadcast his continued appeal of the Court’s injunction and his view that the Court’s rulings are erroneous," but that when it came to law enforcement officials under his authority, he wasn't allowed to "tell them otherwise."
The states are suffering from the federal government's failure to enforce immigration laws, and have responded accordingly with legislation. The judge's temporary restraining order put Florida at a disadvantage, and Utmeier's defiance is an attempt to stand up for Floridians and for Trump's immigration crackdown.
According to a new poll, while some Americans blame President Donald Trump for unrest in Los Angeles, they also support his decision to call in the National Guard to quell violent protests over his immigration policy.
After Trump's promise to deport vast numbers of illegal aliens, ICE operations around the country sparked protests in Los Angeles and other locations, some of which became violent, causing immense damage.
Trump sent 4,000 National Guard men and 700 Marines to combat unrest, over opposition from Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom and local politicians who feared escalation.
The poll is one of numerous measures of Americans' views on Trump's immigration policies and the protests.
Critics have voiced concerns about the techniques used by immigration officers during the raids and the treatment of migrants by federal authorities, even if the raids are following legal orders.
The split of American opinions against Trump's immigration crackdown was on full display at the Los Angeles protests.
According to recent polls, many Americans are in favor of using military force to quell violent protesters, but many still have issues with Trump's overall handling of the matter.
On the specifics of some deportations, 62 % believe Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the illegal alien deported by Trump and hailed as a saint and “Maryland Man” by Democrats and the establishment media, is an MS-13 gang member, while 32 percent say he “should have been defended.”
According to the Harvard-Harris poll, 46% of Americans are happy with Trump's job performance, while 50% are unhappy.
There are other polls that show Trump doing well while dealing with this immigration problem as well.
According to a recent Pew study, 83% of people think illegal immigrants should be deported, with 32% favoring deportation for all immigrants, and 51% expressing interest in just some immigrants being deported.
Among Hispanics, 53% "somewhat" or "strongly" back Trump's deportation strategy, according to a survey conducted earlier this month by the League of American Workers.
CNN went into a frenzy over the widespread support that the American people have shown for Trump's immigration plans.
This despite the fact that the people of the United States want illegal immigrants to be deported. Period. Particularly of concern are all of the dangerous felons that former President Joe Biden accepted into the country during his tenure.
Donald Trump abruptly left the G7 Summit in Canada, adding fuel to the already intense situation between Israel and Iran, the Daily Mail reported.
The former U.S. president denied claims by French President Emmanuel Macron that he was leaving the summit to broker peace, instead stating he returned to Washington for a much larger reason.
Trump's early exit came after tension with Macron, who speculated that Trump intended to negotiate peace to resolve the conflict between Israel and Iran. Trump immediately dispelled these claims, criticizing Macron's remarks as misleading.
Macron had suggested that a ceasefire agreement was possible and that the United States could play a pivotal role in it. Trump's refusal to sign a G7 joint statement calling for a de-escalation before his departure further fueled speculation.
Upon departing the summit, Trump expressed his intentions to meet with the National Security Council upon his return to Washington. The Israeli-Iran conflict has seen a significant rise in hostilities, marked by Israel's intensified air campaign and warnings of evacuation in Tehran.
The former president took to Truth Social to express his stance, emphasizing Iran must not possess nuclear weapons. He encouraged the evacuation in Tehran amid escalating concerns.
The ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran has escalated with a significant number of casualties. Israel's military operations have reportedly killed 224 people since the escalation started.
Iran launched retaliatory missile and drone attacks against Israeli targets, resulting in further devastation. The Israeli military, asserting its aerial dominance over Tehran, targeted various Iranian military installations.
Brigadier General Effie Defrin, an Israeli military spokesperson, declared that Israel had obtained full control over Tehran's skies. This demonstrated Israel's intent to counter Iran's nuclear ambitions.
The abrupt departure of Trump from the G7 Summit meant he missed planned discussions with both Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo. These meetings were expected to address other significant international issues.
During the summit, Trump notably signed an important trade agreement with the United Kingdom, showcasing his diplomatic efforts beyond the escalating Middle Eastern crisis. Discussions with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer included the potential of a future nuclear deal with Iran.
Despite his departure, Trump pointed out that Israel was managing its military engagement well. He reaffirmed his belief that a future agreement between Iran and Israel could be brokered, drawing parallels with past diplomatic successes.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth reassured that the U.S. was strategically positioned in the region to support peace efforts. He emphasized the country's state of readiness to protect its interests and people.
Macron reiterated his hope for a ceasefire, acknowledging that U.S. involvement could lead to positive outcomes. The significance of the U.S.' role in the region remains crucial as hostilities have continued to capture global attention.
In his latest statements, Trump reiterated his long-standing viewpoint that Iran should refrain from nuclear development. His return to Washington, while shrouded in mystery, underscores the gravity of the situation.
President Trump fired a Democratic member of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Christopher Hanson, expanding a power struggle over so-called independent agencies.
“All organizations are more effective when leaders are rowing in the same direction,” White House deputy press secretary Anna Kelly said. “President Trump reserves the right to remove employees within his own Executive Branch who exert his executive authority.”
Trump's action is part of a broader effort to increase nuclear energy production, which has long been touted by advocates as a reliable alternative to so-called renewables.
Hanson is the first person to be fired from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission since it was established in 1975. He was first nominated by Trump in 2020 and was recently re-appointed until 2029.
In a statement, Hanson said Trump “terminated my position with the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission without cause, contrary to existing law and long-standing precedent regarding removal of independent agency appointees.”
Hanson's job fell under scrutiny after an executive order that Trump signed in May that called for a fourfold increase in nuclear energy production by 2050.
The executive order criticized the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, which oversees nuclear safety, for blocking new reactors and called for the agency to be reformed.
"Instead of efficiently promoting safe, abundant nuclear energy, the NRC has instead tried to insulate Americans from the most remote risks without appropriate regard for the severe domestic and geopolitical costs of such risk aversion," the order says.
Trump's shakeup at the nuclear commission is his latest effort to assert executive authority over independent agencies, which many see as unaccountable to the people.
Trump's view of executive power was partially endorsed by the Supreme Court in May, when it upheld the president's power to fire agency members "without cause" in a temporary ruling.
In a legal setback for Trump, a federal judge this week reinstated three Democrats on the Consumer Product Safety Commission.
As the Trump administration sees it, the president is the ultimate executive authority and therefore has the power to fire people at nominally independent agencies. Trump's critics say he is making a power grab that undermines the intent of Congress.
“Congress explicitly created the NRC as an independent agency, insulated from the whims of any president, knowing that was the only way to ensure the health, safety, and welfare of the American people,” Rep. Frank Pallone (D-NJ) said in a statement.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has authorized military dependents to evacuate the Middle East, as tit-for-tat strikes between Israel and Iran raise concerns of a wider war in the region.
As reported by Fox News Digital, the order impacts the U.S. Central Command, which includes bases in countries like Iraq, Syria, and Bahrain.
"The safety and security of our service members and their families remains our highest priority and U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) is monitoring the developing tension in the Middle East. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has authorized the voluntary departure of military dependents from locations across the CENTCOM AOR," a defense official said.
As tensions continue to mount, Hegseth announced he is deploying additional U.S. forces to strengthen America's "defensive posture," a sign that the White House is preparing for the conflict to escalate.
“Protecting US forces is our top priority and these deployments are intended to enhance our defensive posture in the region,” Hegseth wrote on X.
The newly deployed forces include an aircraft carrier and several refueling aircraft, Reuters reported.
Tensions in the Middle East are surging after Israel launched a surprise attack on Iran's nuclear facilities, killing top scientists and military officials. An Israeli plan to assassinate Iran's Supreme Leader was reportedly vetoed by President Trump, who nevertheless has kept the threat of force on the table.
“We know exactly where the so-called ‘Supreme Leader’ is hiding,” Trump wrote in a post on Tuesday.
"He is an easy target, but is safe there - We are not going to take him out (kill!), at least not for now. But we don’t want missiles shot at civilians, or American soldiers. Our patience is wearing thin."
Trump's sharpening tone comes as he has lost patience with Iran's failure to negotiate a new nuclear agreement.
President Trump has maintained that the region won't be stable if Iran obtains a nuclear bomb, and he has not ruled out the chance of the U.S. getting involved in a regional conflict.
"We’re not involved in it. It’s possible we could get involved. But we are not at this moment involved,” Trump told ABC News’s Rachel Scott on Sunday.
The Israel-Iran standoff has opened up a rift in the MAGA movement, with dovish populists accusing President Trump of abandoning his pledge to stay out of new wars and Republican hawks praising Trump for taking a hard line on Iran.
Trump left the G7 summit early on Tuesday to address the crisis from the White House.
