The Department of Homeland Security confirmed to ABC News that it issued new guidance to pause most raids on farms, restaurants, and hotels, after President Trump earlier this week shifted his stance on targeting undocumented workers in those industries.

Meanwhile, a massive military parade to mark the Army's 250th birthday will be underway Saturday in Washington, D.C.

CBO says Trump megabill would cut resources for poor, help rich

A new analysis from the bipartisan Congressional Budget Office released Thursday shows the House-passed Trump megabill would reduce “resources” of the poorest U.S. households by about $1,600 per year while households in the top 10% would see gains of about $12,000 per year.

Overall, the megabill would benefit high-earners most but reduce financial resources to lowest-income households.

In addition, the lowest-earning 10% would see a 3.9% income cut while the highest-earning 10% would get a 2.3% income boost.

Johnson touts rescissions package passage; 4 Republicans voted against it

House Speaker Mike Johnson called the recessions package vote a "critical step toward a more responsible and transparent government that puts the interests of the American taxpayers first" and thanked DOGE for its work to identify spending cuts.

"Under President Trump's leadership, your taxpayer dollars are no longer being wasted. Instead, they are being directed toward priorities that truly benefit the American people," Johnson said.

The measure did face opposition, though, among a handful of Republicans.

The four House Republicans who voted against the package to codify DOGE cuts were Reps. Mark Amodei of Nevada, Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania, Nicole Malliotakis of New York and Mike Turner of Ohio.

House narrowly passes package to codify $9.4B in DOGE cuts

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 speaks out after being removed from news conference

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."
