Trump admin updates: Trump calls for expanded deportations in LA, NYC and more

A Quinnipiac University poll of registered voters published Wednesday found that a slim majority of voters oppose the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” policy and funding bill promoted by the White House, although around 1 in 5 don’t know enough about the bill.

When registered voters were asked if they support or oppose the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, 27% said they supported, 53% oppose and 20% did not know or didn't answer.

Separately, the poll found slightly negative approval ratings for how President Donald Trump is handling immigration and deportations. This poll was conducted before protests broke out on June 6 in Los Angeles over immigration enforcement actions.

When asked if they approve or disapprove of how Trump is handling immigration issues, 43% approve, 54% disapprove and 3% didn't know.

Most of the 20,000 U.S. troops requested by the Department of Homeland Security to round up and detain undocumented migrants are expected to be rejected by the Defense Department because of concerns that it could violate the law, according to a U.S. official.

In a May 9 memo, a top DHS official asked the Pentagon to approve the massive military footprint inside the U.S. to help law enforcement track, detain and transport migrants.

According to the memo, DHS wants 10,000 military personnel to help with transporting migrants, 3,500 personnel to track fugitives inside the U.S., 2,500 to help detain people for immigration, and 1,000 for administration purposes. Another 4,000 would be used for various missions, including searching for unaccompanied migrant children in “remote or hostile terrain.”

Such a move is widely seen by legal experts as in violation of Posse Comitatus, the 1878 law that prohibits a president from using troops for law enforcement purposes.

When asked for comment, a Defense Department spokesperson said the request remains under review.

After a bitter blow-out last week, Elon Musk overnight wrote on X that he regrets some of the posts that he made, saying he went "too far." Musk did not clarify which posts he meant in his statement.

What was President Trump's response to Musk's statement?

"The president acknowledged the statement Musk put out and he's appreciative of it," White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said at Wednesday's briefing. "And we are continuing to focus on the business of the American people."

Sen. Tammy Baldwin, a Wisconsin Democrat, pressed Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on the specific legal statute President Donald Trump is relying on to send active duty Marines to Los Angeles.

"The president has constitutional authority," Hegseth began. Baldwin interrupted to ask him to "cite the provision of the Constitution."

"I'd have to pull up these specific provisions, but our Office of General Counsel, alongside our leadership, has reviewed and ensured, in the order that we set out, that it's completely constitutional for the president to use federal troops to defend federal law enforcement," Hegseth said.

"I'd like to know the specific constitutional statutory authority," Baldwin responded. "The president made it clear that he relied on Section 12406 of Title 10 with regard to the National Guard troops. I need to know the authority that he is relying upon in terms of active duty Marines being deployed to California."
