SCOOP: The Trump DOJ is preparing to eliminate the ability of U.S. Attorneys to recuse themselves from cases due to conflicts of interest.
A new rule expected to be filed this week will put that power in the hands of Pam Bondi.

The current polling is only like 50/50 on eliminating ICE but every politician needs to ask themselves "Will Trump show more tact and thoughtfulness with how he uses ICE over the next year or will he double down on everything driving ICE's growing unpopularity?"
I think the answer is clear.
I think the answer is clear.
Gallego ("moderate" Dem) is going with "ICE needs to be totally torn down" (not "reform and retrain"). This is a pivot point for the country on immigration. You have been seeing this in the data for a while, and now officials are snapping to the public opinion www.gelliottmorris.com/p/ice-is-a-7...

The first thing Virginia Spanberger did after being sworn in as Governor of Virginia was repeal Youngkin’s executive order requiring state and local law enforcement to cooperate with ICE.
This is the kind of leadership Democratic governors nationwide should be emulating.
