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.

Trump touts renaming Fort Liberty back to Fort Bragg

President Donald Trump, delivering remarks at Fort Bragg in North Carolina, repeatedly swiped at the Biden administration over the renaming of the military base to "Fort Liberty." The name change came after a Congressional Naming Commission created by Congress recommended name changes for U.S. military installations named after Confederate generals and leaders.

"Fort Bragg, it shall always remain. That's never going to be happening again," Trump said.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth signed an order earlier this year authorizing the name change.

"If there's an insurrection, we would certainly invoke it. We will see," Trump responded.
