2. House Panel and Immigration Enforcement Showdown

• Capitol Hill Hearing:

  • The House Homeland Security Committee discusses the Trump administration’s increased ICE and Border Patrol actions, especially in Minnesota.
  • Witnesses scheduled: ICE Director Todd Lyons, CBP Commissioner Rodney Scott, and other agency heads.

• Issues Under Scrutiny:

  • Use of force, fatal protester shootings in Minneapolis, detention standards.
  • Broader backdrop: ongoing litigation over immigration policy and the risk of a partial government shutdown if no DHS funding deal is reached by Friday.

5. Ilhan Omar Oversight Investigation

• Focus:

  • Oversight Committee, led by James Comer, probes the “spike” in Rep. Ilhan Omar’s and her husband Tim Minick’s net worth since 2019.

• Findings:

  • Minick’s investments jumped—assets up to $30 million (from up to $25 million two years prior, with significant fluctuation).
  • Wine business involvement also cited with uncommonly variable valuations.

• Significance:

  • Rare for such investigation to come from a committee besides the Ethics Committee.

  • Rep. Joe Morell (NY) accuses Committee Chairman Comer of attacking Trump critics.
  • Democrats suggest these moves are distractions from “Epstein files.”

• Quote:

  • “Alleging House Oversight Chair James Comer is attacking President Trump's critics. Other Democrats say the GOP trying to take attention away from the Epstein files.” (Ted Lindner, 04:14)
