Trump 2nd term updates: Trump attends the Super Bowl

Linda McMahon, President Donald Trump's pick to become secretary of the Department of Education, will sit for her confirmation hearing before the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee on Thursday, Feb. 13, at 10 a.m.

McMahon was tapped by Trump to run the Department of Education, which he has pledged to shutter. The president is expected to ask McMahon, via executive order, to submit a proposal to diminish the department and call on Congress to pass legislation that would abolish it.

"Linda, I hope you do a great job and put yourself out of a job," Trump said on Tuesday. "I want her to put herself out of a job, Education Department."

While speaking to reporters outside the White House, border czar Tom Homan said he was "made aware" this morning of migrants being released due to bed capacity overflow in Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention centers.

"We're looking for as many beds as we can get -- we just gotta hope Congress gives us funding to abide how many beds we need," he said. "We know they’re talking about that today, so hopefully we'll get a budget, we can increase the bed capacity."

However, he said he is "not worried" because "there are many ways to increase the beds -- capacity -- and that's what we're working on today."

"I was told that some were released because of some health concerns that we could not handle within ICE detention," Homan added, saying he has a meeting with ICE leadership later Thursday to find out more.

Homan also said ICE is "doing a great job," but they need to "do more."

Trump is meeting with the leaders of U.S. Steel and FedEx today, according to sources familiar with the matter.

After former President Biden blocked the more than $14 billion deal for Japan’s Nippon Steel to take over U.S. Steel, the two companies filed a lawsuit asking a federal court to reverse Biden’s decision.

FedEx’s operations could be heavily affected by Trump’s tariffs on China, especially the provision that now requires low-value Chinese products to go through customs and tariffs.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he doesn't believe that U.S. troops are needed in Gaza in order to fulfill President Trump's proposal that the U.S. "take over" the Gaza Strip, responding "no" when asked by a reporter Thursday morning.

Earlier today, Trump posted that "no soldiers by the U.S. would be needed" after he said Tuesday evening that they might be used, if "necessary."
