Happening Now: Trump Holds Cabinet Meeting Amid ICE Scrutiny, DHS Funding Battle

President Trump on Thursday morning will hold a Cabinet meeting at the White House as the administration faces scrutiny over its immigration enforcement tactics. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem has taken on the brunt of the criticism after she defended immigration officers involved in the fatal shootings of two Minneapolis residents earlier this month. Many Democrats, and some Republicans, have called for Noem’s ouster or resignation. Border czar Tom Homan on Thursday vowed “to fix” operations in the state after he was sent to Minnesota to oversee immigration enforcement. Funding for DHS is also on the line, as a partial government shutdown looms, though Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Trump are reportedly eyeing a deal. The meeting also comes after Secretary of State Marco Rubio briefed lawmakers about the administration’s moves in Venezuela, weeks after the U.S. captured its leader Nicolás Maduro. Trump’s foreign policy moves, including talks of taking over Greenland, have also been under the microscope. The event is scheduled to begin at 11 a.m. EST. Watch the live video above.
