- 🚨 DHS Secretary Christy Gnome is facing scrutiny after rushing to declare Alex Prey a "domestic terrorist" following his fatal shooting by ICE.
- ⚠️ Bystander videos reportedly contradicted Gnome's assertion that Prey "attacked" federal law enforcement while "brandishing" a gun.
- 📉 The Atlantic reports that Gnome and her adviser Corey Lewandowski are now at risk of losing their jobs.
Meeting with President Trump
- 🤝 Gnome and Lewandowski met with President Trump and top aides at the White House for nearly two hours, a meeting reportedly requested by Gnome.
- 🚫 While Trump did not suggest firing Gnome during the meeting, he sidelined her by sending border czar Tom Homan to Minnesota to run operations.
- 👤 Homan will report directly to Trump, bypassing the DHS secretary.
White House Communications and Governor Walls
- 🗣️ White House press secretary Caroline Levitt worked to distance Trump from controversial comments made by Gnome and Deputy Chief of Staff Steven Miller.
- 🤝 Trump also spoke with Minnesota's Democratic Governor Tim Walls, noting they are on a "similar wavelength", which is significant given Trump's past criticism of Walls.
- 📰 The report is from Kate Martell for The Hill's 12:30 Report newsletter.
