By Patrick Reilly | New York Post Four Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) employees have been fired for sending $59 million to New York City to house and care for illegal migrants, according to the Department of Homeland Security. “Effective immediately, FEMA is terminating the employment of four individuals for circumventing leadership to unilaterally make egregious payments for luxury NYC hotels for migrants,” DHS officials said in a statement obtained by The Post. The firings, first reported by Fox, include FEMA’s Chief Financial Officer, two program analysts and a grant specialist. READ THE FULL STORY ON THE NEW YORK POST

Trump lays out exactly how he plans for U.S. to seize control of Gaza

By Emily Crane | New York Post President Trump on Thursday laid out how his proposed US takeover of the Gaza Strip would unfold, insisting it wouldn’t need military action and would ensure that “stability for the region would reign.” “The Gaza Strip would be turned over to the United States by Israel at the conclusion of fighting,” Trump stated in an early morning Truth Social post. “The Palestinians, people like Chuck Schumer, would have already been resettled in far safer and more beautiful communities, with new and modern homes, in the region,” he continued, with a knock on the Democratic New York senator.

Trump to sign executive order banning men from women’s sports — and branding visas with wrong sex as ‘fraud’

By Diana Glebova | New York Post President Trump will sign an executive order Wednesday intending to keep biological men out of women’s sports through Title IX — pressuring schools to comply with the mandate by threatening to pull federal funds. The order will also mandate a visa review of athletes who enter the US to compete and mark the wrong sex on their application for potential “fraud.” Allowing trans women to compete against biological women is “dangerous” and “unfair,” White House officials said in a call previewing the signing Wednesday morning.

Senate Finance Committee advances RFK Jr. nomination for HHS secretary

By Josh Christenson | New York Post The Senate Finance Committee voted Tuesday to advance the nomination of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to lead the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) after a pair of contentious hearings last week. All 14 Republicans on the panel — including Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) and Senate Majority Whip John Barasso (R-Wyo.) — voted to support President Trump’s pick of Kennedy, with all 13 Democrats opposed. Kennedy, 71, is expected to be considered by the full Senate sometime next week, and would clinch confirmation so long as no more than three Republicans vote against him.

Dow rebounds from massive drop after US delays tariffs against Mexico

By Ariel Zilber | New York Post Stocks rebounded just before noon on Monday after taking a sharp dive at the start of trading following President Trump’s decision to impose new tariffs on key US trading partners including China, Canada and Mexico — only for him to delay the levies following a conversation with the Mexican leader. The Dow Jones Industrial Average, which dropped by as many as 560 points, recovered to around the break-even point as of 11:21 a.m. Eastern Time on Monday. The S&P 500, which had declined by as much as 1.6%, was only down 0.55%, or 33 points while the Nasdaq, which lost 1.95% to drop nearly 400 points after the opening bell, rebounded to 0.92%, which was down 172 points.

RFK Jr. confirmation hearing live updates

By Josh Christenson, Diana Glebova, Caitlin Doornbos and Kaydi Pelletier | New York Post Robert F. Kennedy Jr., President Trump’s controversial pick to lead the US Department of Health and Human Services, is appearing Wednesday before the Senate Finance Committee, to face questions — and fierce opposition from some lawmakers — about his bid to head the department. It’s unclear whether RFK Jr. — who ran against Trump last year as an independent candidate for president before dropping out of the race and endorsing him — has the votes to be confirmed for the role. Some of his own family members, including cousin Caroline Kennedy, a former US Ambassador to Australia and Japan, have lambasted him as “dangerous” and “unqualified” to oversee America’s health bureau....

By Joe Marino, Isabel Keane, David Propper, and Kevin Sheehan | New York Post It’s on.  Heavily armed federal immigration agents swept through the Big Apple in the dark early Tuesday, nabbing accused illegal-migrant killers and traffickers in the first deportation raids under President Donald Trump’s crackdown.  New Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, donning a protective vest, joined agents from Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement in the series of early-morning lighting raids that began with busts in The Bronx.  Noem attended a pre-raid tactical meeting wearing a rose gold Rolex Daytona watch, and filed into an armored BearCat SWAT vehicle with HSI agents as they shuttled between locations. ...

ICE arrests irate Haitian gang member, murder and rape suspects in Boston

By Isabel Keane | New York Post Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers hit the ground running this week, arresting multiple violent offenders in sanctuary cities, including a hostile Haitian gang member with a lengthy rap sheet who said he “ain’t going back to Haiti” and raged “F*** Trump, Biden forever!” ICE officers in Boston made eight noteworthy arrests, including multiple MS-13 gang members, murder and rape suspects and the Haitian gang member, with 18 recent convictions, according to Fox News, who rode along with ICE for the arrests. There was also at least one “collateral” arrest where ICE took an illegal immigrant who wasn’t their initial target into custody, with the arrest in Boston being of an MS-13 gang member who had been released by the sanctuary city on Tuesda...

Trump admin orders federal employees in DEI offices to be placed on paid leave as agencies wind down diversity initiatives

By Victor Nava | New York Post The Trump administration on Tuesday ordered all federal employees working on diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives to be placed on paid leave as government agencies work to shutter DEI offices.  The Office of Personnel Management, the government’s top human resources agency, informed federal department heads in a memo that DEI program employees must be notified by 5 p.m. Wednesday that their administrative leave is “effective immediately.”  The memo further directs federal agencies to take down all “outward facing media” — such as webpages and social media accounts — focused on DEI programs, cancel all employee diversity trainings and terminate any DEI-related contracts by the same deadline.  READ THE FULL ...
