Trump 2nd term live updates: Dan Bongino named as deputy FBI director

During a fireside chat with Rob Finnerty of Newsmax at CPAC, House Speaker Mike Johnson was asked if he sees another funding bill for Ukraine.

"Look, there's no appetite for that," Johnson said, shaking his head in uncertainty and asking the audience: "What do you think?"

The CPAC spectators then booed the possibility of additional funding going overseas.

"We have to bring [the funding] to an end," Johnson added. "And I can tell you that our European allies understand the necessity of this as well. It drug on too long. By some estimates, Russia's lost 700,000 troops, maybe more. The Ukrainians have suffered great losses. We have to bring an end to the conflict. President Trump's exactly right. It's time for it to end, and he is the brute force. I think that can make that happen."

President Trump hosted a reception at the White House on Thursday to mark Black History Month.

When he walked on stage, he was joined by Tiger Woods, who Trump called "one of the greatest golfers in the world."

Woods was wearing the Presidential Medal of Freedom awarded to him by Trump in 2019. The medal is the highest honor the president can bestow on a civilian.

The Trump administration has moved up the expiration date for Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitians and the program is now set to expire in August 2025, according to a memo obtained by ABC News. The program, which allows Haitians to temporarily live in the United States due to credible fear in their home country was set to expire in February 2026 after former DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas extended the designation in 2024.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem will have to decide whether she will extend the program by June 4, or let it expire and subject over 500,000 Haitians in the United States to possible deportation in August.

The status of Haitian migrants became a flashpoint during the 2024 campaign, after Vice President JD Vance and President Donald Trump spread false rumors that migrants were stealing and eating people's pets in Springfield, Ohio.

Haitians have had TPS protections for over 15 years, according to the DHS memo.

The chief counsel of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives was fired and escorted out of her office, sources familiar with the matter told ABC News.

Pamela Hicks posted about her termination notice from Attorney General Pam Bondi on Thursday afternoon, though she did not disclose any reasoning behind the decision.

"Earlier today, I was served official notice from the Attorney General of the United States that I was being removed from my position as the Chief Counsel of ATF and my employment with the Department of Justice terminated," Hicks said in a post on her official LinkedIn account. "I have had the privilege of serving in the federal civil service for almost 28 years, including 23 as an attorney for the Department of Justice. Serving as ATF Chief Counsel has been the highest honor of my career and working with the people at ATF and throughout the Department has been a pleasure. I thank my colleagues for their friendship and partnership over the years."

Hicks is just the latest among dozens of longtime career officials ousted by senior leadership of Trump's Justice Department. A DOJ spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the reasoning for Hicks' termination.
