“If we are attacked in any way, shape or form by Iran, the full strength and might of the U.S. Armed Forces will come down on you at levels never seen before,” Trump wrote. “However, we can easily get a deal done between Iran and Israel, and end this bloody conflict!!!”

Trump admin tells ICE to pause most raids on farms, hotels, restaurants

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

"Effective today, please hold on all work site enforcement investigations/operations on agriculture (including aquaculture and meat packing plants), restaurants and operating hotels," senior ICE official Tatum King wrote in an email to leaders of the ICE department that generally carries out criminal investigations.

The email says that investigations involving "human trafficking, money laundering, drug smuggling into these industries are OK."

The new guidance was first reported by the New York Times.

"We will follow the president's direction and continue to work to get the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens off of America's streets," DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement on ABC News.

This comes after Trump publicly acknowledged that those industries have been hurt by his deportation agenda.

According to the disclosure, Trump owns nearly 16 billion governance tokens of World Liberty Financial, though the exact value of his holdings in dollar amounts is difficult to determine.

Income from trademarks

The report shows how Trump’s various private trademark and loyalty ventures have financially benefited him. According to the disclosure report, those businesses, under CIC Ventures LLC, made Trump $11 million in 2024.

That includes:

– $3 million from his “Save America” book;
– $2.8 million from Trump Watches;
– $2.5 million from Trump sneakers and fragrances;
– $1.3 million from the Lee Greenwood "God Bless the USA" Bible;
– $1 million from Trump guitars; and
– $250,000 from the “Letters to Trump” book

Income from resorts, golf courses

The report also shows that Trump made over $50 million in “resort related revenue” in 2024 from his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, which has become a central location for Trump during his presidency and where government officials and businessmen alike have flocked to spend time with the president.

His most lucrative golf course was his Doral club, which earned him more than $110 million in 2024, the filing shows.

He made roughly $33 million from his Bedminster golf club; $28 million from his Jupiter golf club; $29 million from his golf club in West Palm Beach; and $20 million from his Virginia golf club near Washington, D.C.

Johnson says passing bill that codifies DOGE cuts a ‘critical step’

Speaker Mike Johnson celebrated the passage of the $9.4 billion package to codify DOGE cuts to foreign aid and public broadcasting in the House.

“This is a long time overdue. We just had an important vote here on the floor. Today's passage of this initial rescissions package marks a critical step towards a more responsible and transparent government that puts the interest of the American taxpayers first.

We want to thank DOGE for their heroic and patriotic efforts that work led to this,” Johnson told reporters in the Capitol after the vote.

Johnson said the package is “just one of the ways” Republicans are codifying DOGE cuts. “There’ll be more of this in the days ahead,” he added.

“This is a good day for the House chamber. This the first rescissions package now passed through the House. I expect it will pass through this Senate,” he concluded.
