Trump 2nd term updates: Trump says USAID is run by 'radical lunatics'

The Department of Defense on Sunday confirmed the arrival of 500 Marines to Guantanamo to set up facilities that will hold deported migrants.

The DOD identified them as the 1st battalion, 6th Marine Regiment from Camp LeJeune, North Carolina, and posted photos to X.

The social media post says they’ll be there “to prepare to expand the Migrant Operations Center” as the administration prepares to follow through on President Donald Trump's comments last week that the base will be used to temporarily house as many as 30,000 deported migrants who are awaiting processing to return to their home countries.

While Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has said that deportees would be housed at temporary facilities on the base, on Friday he told "Fox & Friends" that the prison facility that houses al Qaeda detainees would be used to house “the worst of the worst,” which he said were criminals or belonged to criminal gangs.

A U.S. official confirmed to ABC News that planning is underway for deportation flights to take deported migrants to Guantanamo.

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, the top Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, joined with committee Democrats to demand in a letter that Secretary of State Marco Rubio provide additional information about events at USAID, including reports of DOGE involvement.

"Congress established the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) as an independent agency, separate from the Department of State, to ensure that we can deploy development expertise and U.S. foreign assistance quickly, particularly in times of crisis, to meet our national security goals,” wrote the lawmakers. “For this reason, any effort to merge or fold USAID into the Department of State should be, and by law must be, previewed, discussed, and approved by Congress," the Democrats wrote.

The senators are seeking information on the individuals who reportedly accessed USAID headquarters.

"We request an immediate update about the access of USAID’s headquarters, including whether the individuals who accessed the headquarters were authorized to be there and by whom, whether all individuals who accessed classified spaces have active security clearances at the appropriate level, what they were seeking to access, if any PII of American citizens was breached, and whether any review is underway regarding potential unauthorized access to sensitive personnel information and classified materials," they wrote.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Sunday told Panamanian officials that “President Trump has made a preliminary determination that the current position of influence and control of the Chinese Communist Party over the Panama Canal area is a threat to the canal and represents a violation of the Treaty Concerning the Permanent Neutrality and Operation of the Panama Canal,” according to State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce.

“Secretary Rubio made clear that this status quo is unacceptable and that absent immediate changes, it would require the United States to take measures necessary to protect its rights under the Treaty,” Bruce said in a statement.

Panamanian officials had a different takeaway after the meeting. President José Raúl Mulino said he was sympathetic to some of the Trump administration’s concerns like immigration and Chinese influence, but he appeared unmoved on the issue of the canal. He maintained that the neutrality of the waterway was not in question and also asserted that Panama was also not under threat from the U.S. military.

Describing the meeting, Mulino said he felt respected, that the discussion was not confrontational. He also said that under his leadership, Panama would not renew contracts with Beijing under its Belt and Road initiative and said he encouraged the U.S. to ramp up its own investments in the country.

Several sources told ABC News that potentially thousands of FBI employees who were identified as having participated in investigations or prosecutions related to Jan. 6 were sent a questionnaire on Sunday to fill out, seeking to determine exactly what their roles were in those cases. The questionnaire has raised all sorts of questions and concerns within FBI ranks, sources said.

The employees have until 3 p.m. ET Monday to fill out the questionnaires, ABC News was told.

This is a direct result of acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove's recent request from the FBI for the names of employees who worked on Jan. 6-related cases. Bove said his office will be conducting a review to determine if any "personnel actions" are warranted.

As sources told ABC News, the FBI's Counterterrorism Division was tasked with coordinating the FBI's entire response, and last night CTD sent all 55 FBI field offices and all divisions within FBI headquarters lists of their employees identified as having participated in Jan. 6-related cases.

On Sunday morning, emails were sent to those identified employees with the questionnaire, which, among other things, asks about their current position, their title and role when working on Jan. 6-related cases, and when they last did any work related to Jan. 6, sources said.

In an email to employees on Sunday, one division head said he recognized that the questionnaire has raised "a lot of questions and concerns."
