(AP Photo/Jacquelyn Martin) President Donald Trump personally intervened Wednesday to overturn an internal Department of Homeland Security (DHS) decision to temporarily suspended Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) traffic stops in a move that has reinstated the practice. Fox News correspondent Alexis McAdams reported the clarification issued by the White House, which said Trump reversed the suspension on Wednesday morning, just hours after he demanded ICE resume using traffic stops in immigration enforcement operations in a Truth Social post. According to the White House, the DHS memo circulated to field office directors on Tuesday was an internal directive that was “quickly overturned,” and argued the memo did not represent a broader administration policy. The White House tells me President Trump OVERTURNED the suspension of ICE traffic stops this morning. This, after DHS sent a memo out to all field office directors yesterday – saying ALL vehicle stops were suspended until further notice. White House says there was NO policy… pic.twitter.com/if0c7t80aH — Alexis McAdams (@AlexisMcAdamsTV) July 15, 2026 In the Truth Social post earlier Wednesday, Trump praised ICE officers before arguing the agency could not abandon what he described as a key enforcement tactic. “The men and women of ICE are doing a GREAT job, one that has to be done,” Trump wrote, adding, “we CANNOT give up one of I.C.E.’s most important and effective Crime Fighting tools, THE TRAFFIC STOP!” He also urged the agency to “be judicious, fair and smart, and go back and do your very important job.” The initial decision to suspend the practice reportedly followed mounting scrutiny of ICE after two fatal shootings during traffic-stop operations in the past week. On July 7, immigration agents fatally shot 52-year-old Lorenzo Salgado Araujo in Houston during a traffic stop. Authorities said Salgado Araujo was not the intended target of the operation. Then on Monday, ICE agents also fatally shot 26-year-old Joan Sebastian Guerrero, a Colombian national, during a traffic stop in Maine. Guerrero had authorization to work in the United States and was reportedly not the intended target. The DHS later said Guerrero attempted to flee, prompting an ICE agent to open fire out of concern for public safety.The post Trump Overturns DHS Decision to Suspend ICE Traffic Stops After Killings, White House Says first appeared on Mediaite.

The widow of Corey Comperatore, the former fire chief who was killed in the 2024 assassination attempt against President Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, believes the government was behind the shooting. Helen Comperatore shared her thoughts in an interview with NewsNation’s Rich McHugh on Monday. “I believe it was an inside job, inside the government somewhere,” Comperatore said. “And this was a political [plot]?” McHugh asked. “Oh yeah, absolutely,” Comperatore said. “Have you seen evidence to that?” McHugh followed up. “Oh, I’ve been told things,” she said. “But I have something that happened with me that just afterwards and you’re starting to put the pieces together, it just made total sense.” NewNation interviewed Helen Comperatore two years after her husband was shot and killed at a Trump rally while shielding his wife and two daughters. Thomas Crooks was the 20-year-old gunman who fired eight rounds at then-candidate Trump from a rooftop about 150 yards away. Crooks was killed by Secret Service at the scene. The FBI concluded last year Crooks acted alone after investigating the shooting and speaking to thousands of people. In June, the FBI skewered a conservative watchdog group that accused the bureau of “slow rolling” the release of information on the assassination attempt. McHugh told viewers that the Secret Service did not reach out to Helen Comperatore to interview her about the crime until a year after it happened. Comperatore told NewsNation she thinks Crooks had at least one accomplice that has gone unpunished. “I don’t believe there was another shooter there, but I believe he was working with somebody,” she said. She said she will have closure once “the people who put this all together that day are caught.” Comperatore did not mention Joe Biden, who was president at the time of the shooting. McHugh then asked her if she had a message for Trump. “Don’t forget us and remember what we went through that day,” Comperatore said. “We’re still here, we need answers.” Watch above.The post ‘Inside Job’: Widow of Man Killed in Trump Assassination Attempt Believes Government Was Behind It first appeared on Mediaite.

Blanche, who previously worked as Trump’s personal attorney, had been named acting AG following the ouster of Pam Bondi. Then, Trump nominated him to take the job full-time. On Tuesday, Trump reaffirmed his confidence in Blanche with a Truth Social post calling him “100% LOYAL.” While questioning Blanche at Wednesday’s hearing, Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA), asked about the acting AG’s relationship with Trump. The exchange went as follows: KENNEDY: I’ve read your resume. We all have. You don’t need to comment on this, but it just seems to me that no fair-minded person could conclude that you’re not qualified. You spent a long time with the department. You spent a long time in private practice. So, the opposition of my Democratic friends must be based on something else. Are you and President Trump friends? BLANCHE: I’m his lawyer — was his lawyer — and now I’m the deputy attorney general. So I met him as his criminal defense attorney. I’m not sure there’s very many people who have ever had a criminal defense attorney who calls that person their friend. That slip did not go unnoticed, with countless figures and organizations across the political landscape pointing it out online. Kennedy: Are you and President Trump friends?

- Ro Khanna Grilled In Tense Exchange On Drop Site About Palestinians’ ‘Rightâ...
Screenshot via Social Media Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) spoke to the controversial website Drop Site this week about his recent experience in the West Bank, where he claimed he was detained by violent Israeli settlers. Khanna’s experience has been a flashpoint of controversy as many on the left have rallied behind him while critics have accused him of lying about the circumstances surrounding the incident. On Tuesday, Khanna tussled with the U.S. ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, online and said that settlers “blockaded” the road, delaying his tour. While much of Khanna’s discussion with Drop Site was friendly between ideological allies, at one point Jeremy Scahill grilled Khanna in a tense exchange on his refusal to endorse Palestinians’ killing of Israeli soldiers. “Israeli civilians are dying in these attacks because of the apartheid. You know, do Palestinians have a right to kill Israeli soldiers, Congressman? On October 7th, when they attacked the military bases in the Gaza envelope, did the Qassam Brigades and Saraya al-Quds have a right to kill the Israeli soldiers? Yes or no? On October 7th, did Palestinians have a right to attack Israeli military bases in the Gaza envelope? Yes or no?” demanded Scahill, a former editor at the Intercept. Khanna replied, “I mean, I think October 7th’s attack was a terrorist attack, so I don’t justify it.” “Was it a terrorist attack? The first targets that were hit on the morning of October 7th were multiple military bases. Did Palestinian forces have a right to attack those military bases?” Scahill demanded of the attack, which targeted over 20 Israeli communities and a music festival. Khanna replied, “I am not for violence in any way. I mean, I am for making sure that we end the occupation.” “Do they have a right to do it, Congressman? Do they have a right to attack Israeli soldiers?” Scahill demanded again. Khanna pushed back, “I’m not going to say that Hamas had a right to attack Israeli soldiers or kill Israelis. I don’t think that advances peace or advances Palestinian statehood.” Scahill followed up, “Does Israel have a right to drop a single bomb on Gaza in response to October 7th?” Khanna replied, “I believe Israel had the right to get the people who killed the civilians, but not in the way they went about it, which I’ve said is genocide.” Scahill then ranted, “The Palestinians don’t have a… [TheTopNews] Read More.2 hours ago - ‘I’m Not an Election Denier’: Trump’s New DNI Nominee Says Under Oath Jo...President Donald Trump‘s nominee for director of National Intelligence acknowledged under oath Wednesday that his boss did not win the 2020 election against Joe Biden. Jay Clayton was appearing before the Senate Intelligence Committee for his confirmation hearing when the moment occurred. Under questioning from Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA), Clayton gave a carefully worded response when he was asked about Biden’s White House victory: MARK WARNER: If you confirmed, you’re gonna make sure that you speak truth to power, and that means even if the truth is not the preferred narrative that somebody wants to hear. So let me just ask you what it should be a simple question. Do you deny that Joe Biden won the 2020 election? JAY CLAYTON: Senator, I’m not, I’m not an election denier. Joe, Joe Biden was certified as the president of the United States. WARNER: Election denial is something we cannot have, um so I will take that as you do not deny that Joe Biden won the 2020 election. CLAYTON Yeah, I’m, I’m not, I’m not I think, let me just be clear. We, we have substantial work to do and I’ve made — in improving our electoral processes. It’s part of national security, um, and I, I feel strongly about that. Trump’s incessant drum beating about the “rigged” 2020 election is taking on new urgency this week as the president plans a Thursday speech to the nation. According to reports, the president will reveal newly declassified information about foreign interference in the 2020 contest. Trump reportedly also plans to attack the election victories of Georgia Senators Jon Ossoff (D) and Raphael Warnock (D) as “illegitimate.” Clayton, 60, is a former head of the Securities and Exchange Commission who currently serves as the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District. He was nominated as DNI in June after Trump appointed Bill Pulte as acting director. Pulte’s appointment to the post sparked bipartisan fury after he was slammed as unqualified. Pulte, who replaced Tulsi Gabbard, has no military or intelligence background.
