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

The House narrowly passed a $9.4 billion package to codify the first batch of DOGE cuts to foreign aid and public broadcasting. The final tally was 214-212.

The vote was held open for longer than five minutes. Several moderate Republicans had no votes at first. After a huddle and long conversation on the floor with Speaker Mike Johnson, Whip Tom Emmer, Reps. Nick LaLota, Mike Lawler and Dusty Johnson, LaLota flipped his vote and Lawler voted in favor, allowing the House to barely clear the measure.

Several Republicans did buck President Trump and GOP leaders and voted against the bill.

The bill now heads to the Senate where it faces an uphill battle. Senate Majority Leader John Thune told reporters the package will not be taken up until after budget reconciliation -- likely in July.

Padilla held a news conference and discussed the incident during Noem's news conference.

The senator said he and other leaders have been trying to get answers from DHS about their deportation and immigration policies. He said he attended the news conference to question Noem directly.

"At one point I had a question so I began to ask a question. I was immediately forcibly removed from the room, I was forced to then round and I was handcuffed," he said.

Padilla said he did talk with Noem but warned that what happened to him was not acceptable.

"I will say this, If this is how this administration responds to a senator asking a question…you can only imagine what they do to farmers, to cooks, to day laborers out in the Los Angeles community and throughout California," he said.

The senator reiterated that he was not arrested and stressed that people need to peacefully protest.

"No violence, no vandalism, please peacefully protest."

Noem spoke with reporters very briefly outside the federal building and said she and Padilla spoke cordially for about 10 to 15 minutes.

She said she did not expect him to be charged with anything.

Noem said the incident happened because he took steps toward her without identifying himself first. As for the treatment he received, she said to direct those questions to "law enforcement."

Top leaders at the Justice Department issued a directive to prosecutors around the country Thursday to be prepared to file charges over the weekend in the event of violence or "obstruction" of police at protests planned in several major cities.

The memo to all 93 U.S. Attorney's Offices, which was reviewed by ABC News, outlines several potentially relevant criminal statutes that prosecutors could consider applying to violent actors at protests.

Associate Deputy Attorney General Aakash Singh further urged in the memo for U.S. attorney's offices to publicize when they may bring cases, and said the federal government will have "zero tolerance" for acts of "rioting, looting, arson, destruction of property, assaults on officers ... and obstruction of federal immigration efforts."

"Push out press releases whenever you file charges in these matters," the memo said. "We will not stop enforcing the law and we will not be deterred from keeping our districts safe."
