US President Donald Trump has instructed Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem not to intervene in protests occurring in cities led by Democrats unless local authorities ask for federal help. The order comes amid mounting criticism of his administration's immigration crackdown.
In a tweet, Trump stated that his department would "guard, and very powerfully so, any and all Federal Buildings that are being attacked by these highly paid Lunatics, Agitators, and Insurrectionists." However, he provided no further details on how this order would affect operations by US Customs and Immigration Enforcement and other federal agencies.
This instruction follows a recent surge in protests against Trump's immigration policies. The President has been accused of demonizing immigrants and using derogatory language to describe protesters.
In related news, Chicago's mayor Brandon Johnson has ordered police to investigate alleged illegal activity by federal immigration agents in the city. This move is expected to escalate tensions over jurisdiction between local and federal authorities.
Separately, Trump hinted at a deal with Iran that could avoid military strikes. He stated that "Iran is talking to us, and we'll see if we can do something... We have a big fleet heading out there. They are negotiating."
Additionally, Democrats have accused the Department of Justice of withholding records related to the investigation into Jeffrey Epstein's death.
The President also reportedly wants to build an arch in Washington DC that would dwarf the Lincoln Memorial. The planned arch is expected to be 250ft tall.
Funding for several US government departments lapsed over the weekend due to a standoff in Congress over new restrictions on federal agents involved in Trump's mass deportation campaign.
Trump's post-truth agenda has been beaten back by Americans who refuse to accept ICE lies, according to recent reports. The President has faced widespread criticism for his administration's handling of immigration and its impact on communities across the US.
In other news, Germany's football federation has ruled out a boycott of the World Cup despite calls to send a message to Trump. A US Customs and Border Protection employee was recently arrested amid the immigration crackdown in Minnesota after state troopers found him unconscious in a car.

So like Trump is trying to micromanage protests in cities run by Dems, that's just gonna backfire big time. He thinks he can just tell Homeland Security not to intervene unless local authorities ask for help, but what if the locals don't want federal help? That's just gonna make things worse and people are already getting restless about his immigration policies... 
And yeah, it's a bit suspicious that there's a deal brewing with Iran to avoid military strikes - seems like Trump is trying to smooth things over after all the controversy surrounding his administration's actions. 
#ImmigrationReformMatters. It's like, can't we just have respectful dialogue about these issues? Instead, he's pitting local authorities against each other and creating more chaos in the process 
#FederalIntervention
. Trump's words are fueling the fire, but what's he gonna do when it all comes crashing down? 
#RhetoricVsAction And let's not forget about those federal agents being accused of misconduct - that's a total red flag 
#TransparencyIsKey
. 250ft tall? That's some serious ego-stroking 
#PresidentialPrestige But seriously, who's gonna pay for that thing? 
#FederalBudget
#TruthToPower And it's awesome to see Germany not giving in to the pressure and boycotting the World Cup instead of sending a message 
#SportsUnite
. And can we talk about this arch thingy? Like, what even is the point of a 250ft tall monument to himself? We have real problems to solve, not ego trips 
. I mean, I know people are tired of all the misinformation, but come on, it's like he's playing some twisted game of 'alternative facts' 
. Anyway, at least Germany is standing up against this toxic behavior by saying no to a boycott (I get that, Trumps not cool). Let's focus on building bridges, not monuments to ourselves 
. I mean, Trump's latest order might seem tough on protests, but maybe it's actually a sign that he's getting tired of all the drama 
.
. I think it's great that Americans are refusing to accept lies from the government – it's time for a little truth-telling, right? 
. And have you seen those new designs for the Lincoln Memorial arch? Whoa, 250ft tall? That's some serious architecture goals 
.
. We can disagree without being disagreeable, right? Let's keep the conversation civil and see where it takes us 
.
. Like, what's next? The FBI is gonna be like "hey we don't care if the country burns down, we're just here for the memes 
". I mean come on, this is a classic case of "I want to be in charge and you can all just follow" 
.
I don't think it's fair to blame the protesters for trying to make their voices heard. And what about the people who are being hurt by these immigration policies? Are they just supposed to sit back and let the government do whatever it wants without any consequences? 
This whole thing is just really concerning...
.
.
. On one hand, I get why he's trying to crack down on all this chaos - it's getting out of control 
️... 250ft tall? What's next, a Trump Tower in the middle of DC? 
. It's about time Americans called out these lies for what they are.
. We need to have more nuanced conversations about it, not just rhetoric and fear-mongering
