Jay Clayton's Path to DNI: Senate Showdown Sparks Drama

Jay Clayton's Path to DNI: Senate Showdown Sparks Drama

President Donald Trump is well into his second and final term, but he is still working to fill crucial vacancies within his government.That includes filling the director of national intelligence role after former DNI Tulsi Gabbard stepped down earlier this year to care for her sick husband.Trump’s nominee to lead the nation’s intelligence agencies moved closer to confirmation Monday, bringing the Senate closer to restoring a key counterterrorism authority.The Senate voted to advance Jay Clayton’s nomination as the next DNI. Gabbard left after doctors diagnosed her husband with cancer.Advertisement The procedural vote passed largely along party lines, 51-43.Clayton, who previously served as chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) during Trump’s first term, advanced after narrowly clearing the Senate Intelligence Committee on a 9-8 vote, as Democrats continue to oppose everyone Trump nominates and everything Trump tries to do.Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., urged Democrats to support Jay Clayton’s nomination during the final confirmation vote, while acknowledging that he expected continued opposition similar to what many of Trump’s second-term nominees have faced.“One might think that we’d be seeing some bipartisanship from Democrats on this nominee,” Thune said on Monday.“But Democrats are playing the same partisan games with this qualified nominee as they have for so many of President Trump’s picks,” he continued.“It’s a funny thing because Democrats have made no secret of their disdain for the current acting Director of … National intelligence,” he continued.“In fact, Democrats were so worked up over the president’s temporary choice for this position, they allowed our nation’s most important counterterrorism tool to go dark for the first time ever,” he reminded the chamber.The Senate is scheduled to hold a final confirmation vote Tuesday, bringing to a close the process of selecting a successor to Gabbard.After she announced her departure, Trump appointed Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) Director Bill Pulte to serve as acting DNI, overseeing the nation’s 18 intelligence agencies on an interim basis.Since then, Pulte has gone on a firing spree, weeding out so-called “deep state” operatives who were found to be working discreetly to thwart the president’s agenda.Gabbard’s exit came as the Senate was nearing a vote on a bipartisan agreement to extend Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), a key counterterrorism authority that was approaching its expiration, Fox News Digital reported.Democrats, who sharply criticized Pulte and argued he lacked the qualifications for the role, accused him of seeking to politicize the intelligence community by targeting Trump’s political opponents and restructuring the nation’s intelligence agencies.Following Trump’s decision to cancel Clayton’s previously scheduled confirmation hearing, Democrats withdrew from the bipartisan agreement to extend Section 702.Less than 24 hours before Clayton cleared his final procedural hurdle, Pulte announced on X that he had completed his fourth round of layoffs as acting Director of National Intelligence.“Since becoming Acting Director of National Intelligence, our team has been smartly, and carefully, reducing the size of ODNI, re-focusing ODNI on national security, the law, and the statute,” Pulte said.“As of this evening, we just finished a 4th round of thoughtful, measured layoffs. Thank you!” he added.Since then, the Section 702 surveillance program has gradually become inoperative, with new authorizations stalled until Congress reauthorizes the intelligence authority.Supporters of the program argue it has played a critical role in preventing terrorist attacks, including helping disrupt an alleged mass-casualty plot targeting a Taylor Swift concert in Vienna, Austria.Last week, Clayton’s nomination advanced out of the Senate Intelligence Committee with support only from Republican members.During his confirmation hearing, Democrats questioned him about the 2020 presidential election, his knowledge of Gabbard’s reported actions involving the Fulton County, Georgia, election offices, and subpoenas issued to New York Times reporters while he served as the top federal prosecutor for the Southern District of New York.This article may contain commentary which reflects the author's opinion.

Paulina Rubio en el ojo del huracán: diseñador reclama pago pendiente

Paulina Rubio en el ojo del huracán: diseñador reclama pago pendiente

El reconocido diseñador de modas Michael Costello recurrió a sus redes sociales para exponer una situación que desató controversia en el ámbito del espectáculo y la moda. El creativo estadounidense denunció públicamente que ni la cantante mexicana Paulina Rubio ni su equipo de trabajo liquidaron el pago por el vestuario personalizado que confeccionó para la reciente presentación de la artista en el festival Coachella 2026.A través de un extenso comunicado, Costello también detalló la falta de respuesta y el incumplimiento del presupuesto acordado, señalando que la prenda se entregó bajo un régimen de trabajo a contrarreloj. Este comunicado ya empezó a circular por toda la internet, sin respuesta de la chica dorada.¿Qué pasó?Según lo relatado por el diseñador, su taller laboró bajo una fuerte presión de tiempo para responder al llamado de la intérprete, logrando confeccionar la pieza a medida en un plazo sumamente reducido. Coachella es uno de los más grandes festivales de todo el mundo. "No hay ningún mensaje oculto ni drama detrás de esta publicación. Simplemente desearía que nos hubieran pagado por el trabajo que entregamos. Mi equipo y yo trabajamos sin descanso con menos de 48 horas para crear este look personalizado para la actuación de Paulina en Coachella. Acordamos un presupuesto, entregamos todo a tiempo y cumplimos con nuestro compromiso. Después, a pesar de los repetidos seguimientos con la gerencia y todos los involucrados, nuestros mensajes quedaron sin respuesta y se dejaron en vistos, y el pago nunca llegó", expuso Costello. Crédito: Instagram El diseñador enfatizó en sus redes sociales que, ante la falta de liquidación por parte del equipo de la cantante, él asumió directamente la remuneración del personal de confección involucrado en el proyecto, pero hasta el momento no reveló la cifra que aún se le debe. "La parte más difícil no es solo la factura impaga, sino saber cuánto corazón se puso en esto. Mi costurera y su madre trabajaron incansablemente junto a mí para asegurarse de que esta prenda estuviera terminada a tiempo. Me aseguré de que se les pagara porque creo que las personas que dedican su talento, tiempo y artesanía merecen ser cuidadas. Siempre apoyaré a mi equipo", afirmó. Un llamado de respeto hacia la industria de la modaMás allá del caso particular de la cantante mexicana, el creativo utilizó su espacio para resaltar que este tipo de situaciones reflejan una problemática constante dentro del gremio artístico y la industria del vestuario, donde el trabajo de taller suele verse vulnerado en muchas ocasiones. "No se trata de crear controversia ni de pedir compasión. Se trata de algo mucho más importante que sucede con demasiada frecuencia en la moda. Los diseñadores, patronistas, costureras, sastres y las innumerables personas que trabajan entre bastidores merecen el mismo respeto que todos los demás involucrados en un proyecto. Cuando se acuerda un presupuesto y se completa el trabajo, el pago no debería ser opcional, simplemente debería ocurrir", sostuvo el creativo. A modo de cierre, Costello apeló al cumplimiento de los acuerdos profesionales por encima de los lazos de amistad o la trayectoria de los artistas. "La amistad, la historia o las relaciones profesionales nunca deberían reemplazar el cumplimiento de un acuerdo. El respeto es mutuo. Si alguien cumple lo que prometió, merece ser compensado como se prometió. Espero que nuestra industria llegue a un punto en el que las personas creativas ya no tengan que luchar para que se les pague por el trabajo que ya han completado. Trata a los demás como te gustaría que te trataran. Respeta el trabajo. Respeta el acuerdo. Paga a las personas que ayudaron a hacer posible tu visión", concluyó.

Airports Become Unsettling New Frontline for Immigration Arrests

Airports Become Unsettling New Frontline for Immigration Arrests

In an effort to ramp up deportations, federal immigration authorities have a new tactic: arresting people who overstay their visas in airports, according to an immigration memo obtained by ABC News.The arrests have occurred across the country in at least nine states from California to Virginia, and immigration lawyers are warning their clients about the risk to domestic travel, according to a source. There have been at least 27 arrests in airports using this tactic, according to a document obtained by ABC News. The document doesn't state over what period of time the arrests took place.In this March 23, 2026, file photo, TSA agents screen passengers as travelers wait for passenger screening at a Transportation Security Administration (TSA) checkpoint inside Terminal 4 at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) in Los Angeles.Patrick T. Fallon/AFP via Getty Images, FILEThose being detained in some cases do not have criminal records and have valid work authorization or parole documents, according to one immigration attorney that spoke with ABC News.In a statement, the Department of Homeland Security said: "DHS reversed the horrendous Biden-era policy that allowed aliens in our country illegally to jet around our country," according to a DHS spokesperson. "Under President Trump, DHS will no longer tolerate this. This administration is working diligently to ensure that aliens in our country illegally can no longer fly unless it is out of our country to self-deport."Rosanna Berardi, a Buffalo-based immigration attorney, told ABC News that ICE has always had the power to arrest someone with a final order of removal or expired immigration status."What's also new is the venue and method," she said.  "ICE is working with TSA and targeting people at check-in counters and gates, sidestepping the warrants and surveillance operations used in the past. There is no investigation or no home visit involved. It's simply a name match at a checkpoint, and that's what makes this approach so efficient for ICE and so unsettling for travelers." In this March 26, 2026, file photo, an ICE agent checks a person's ID at the security check point in Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport in Atlanta.Megan Varner/Getty Images, FILEBerardi said now "routine air travel has turned into a legal status audit for millions of foreign national visa holders and green card applicants."Popular Reads"Airports are becoming a new enforcement zone for people who have been living in the U.S. lawfully, holding valid work permits, complying with immigration law, but still in pending status awaiting their green cards," she said. "These individuals are technically in a legal gray area, since a pending application does not carry the same protection as an approved one. ICE is exploiting that gray area as an opportunity to arrest and detain them."On Tuesday, a watchdog group released the memorandum of agreement between the Transportation Security Administration and ICE, which allows for TSA to share information with immigration authorities.ABC News has previously reported on the agreement, but for the first time American Oversight, a nonpartisan watchdog, which obtained the document through a Freedom of Information Act request, made the document public. In this March 26, 2026, file photo, ICE agents walk past a long security line at Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport in Atlanta.Megan Varner/Getty Images, FILEThe agreement establishes guidelines for the sharing and storing of data and cites the Secure Flight Final Rule, which governs passenger information, as the basis for the agreement. "The scope of this Agreement is limited to the exchange of agreed-upon data between the Parties to enhance national security, transportation security, law enforcement, and immigration and border management," according to the 16-page agreement.In March, amid a record shutdown of DHS due to a congressional funding impasse, the Trump administration sent ICE agents to more than a dozen airports across the country to fill TSA staffing gaps.

Secret Service Agent's Alleged Hazing Role Sparks Outrage

Secret Service Agent's Alleged Hazing Role Sparks Outrage

A U.S. Secret Service employee is under "total lockdown" house arrest on Tuesday after being charged in Florida with attempted manslaughter, stemming from an alleged non-university hazing incident involving membership in a fraternity alumni group, authorities said.Secret Service employee Marquez Christopher Pinder, 29, was arrested on Monday along with co-defendants Lamar James, 26, and Elijah Delano Dyous, 29, according to Florida State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle.Pinder was described by prosecutors as the "dean of pledges," according to an arrest warrant filed in the case and reviewed by ABC News.Secret Service Agent Marquez Christopher Pinder is facing an attempted manslaughter charge stemming from an alleged fraternity hazing incident in in April 2026 Sweetwater, Florida.Miami-Dade County Corrections and RehabilitationOne of the hazing victims is a University of Miami Law School student, prosecutors said.But in a statement to ABC News on Tuesday, the University of Miami said Pinder is not affiliated with the school."Other than the fact that one of the victims is a University of Miami School of Law student, this incident has nothing to do with the University of Miami or the University of Miami chapter of the fraternity," the university's statement said.The three men, according to Rundle, allegedly used canes and paddles to beat two Kappa Alpha Psi alumni fraternity pledges over the course of four days in early April at two locations in Miami-Dade County.Jared Lamar James is facing an attempted manslaughter charge stemming from an alleged fraternity hazing incident in April 2026 in Sweetwater, Florida.Miami-Dade County Corrections and RehabilitationRundle said one of the victims, the law school student, was beaten so severely he suffered kidney failure and had to undergo surgery."This case, with the victims requiring hospitalization, provide clear-cut examples of hazing's danger," Rundle said in a statement. "In Florida, hazing is abuse and it is a crime. Its victims too often lie in their graves and in hospitals."Prosecutors identified the second victim as a Miami-Dade Fire Rescue employee, who needed critical medical care following the alleged hazing incident.Besides attempted manslaughter, Pinder, James and Dyous are also charged with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon and causing great bodily harm, and hazing with a deadly weapon. All of the charges are felonies.None of the defendants have yet entered pleas to the charges.Michael Townsend, the special agent in charge of the Secret Service Miami Field Office, confirmed in a statement to ABC News that Pinder is a Secret Service employee.Pinder has been placed on administrative leave, according to Townsend. It's unclear if he is on paid or unpaid leave."The United States Secret Service takes seriously any criminal misconduct allegations involving one of our employees," Townsend said. "As the Agent in Charge of the Miami Field Office, I have been informed that a local law enforcement agency is investigating one of our employees. We are fully cooperating with the investigation."Townsend said he was unable to comment on the details of the ongoing investigation.An apartment building near Miami, Florida, where prosecutors allege a hazing incident occurred and led to attempted manslaughter charges against a Secret Service agent.WSVNThe alleged hazing unfolded on April 1 at an apartment in Sweetwater, an unincorporated community near Miami, and continued there through April 2 and 3, according to Rundle.Popular ReadsRundle said the alleged hazing involving the same victims shifted to another location in Miami on April 4.The alleged abuse occurred in sessions that lasted for several hours, according to the arrest warrant.In one instance, the two victims were allegedly asked questions about the fraternity's history, according to the arrest warrant. When they failed to give correct answers, they were instructed to do a half squat with one arm pointed forward while they were "struck repeatedly” on their buttocks, the report alleges, according to arrest warrant.In a separate alleged hazing session, the victims were beaten so severely that they bled through their clothes, the warrant said.In a statement to ABC News on Tuesday, the grand chapter of the Kappa Alpha Psi said its Richmond-Perrine, Florida, alumni chapter reported the hazing incident. The organization said the incident allegedly involved "grown adult (postgraduate) persons and membership in an alumni (non-university) chapter.""The arrested perpetrators in this specific incident are not active or financial members of Kappa Alpha Psi. They do not have an official affiliation with any chapter nor any official role with the organization," the fraternity said. "Likewise, they do not have any authority to conduct any program or authorize any process on our behalf."The fraternity said it is fully cooperating with law enforcement in the investigation.Jimmy McMikle, the national president of Kappa Alpha Psi, condemned the alleged hazing incident, saying in a statement that the fraternity maintains a "zero-tolerance policy on hazing.""Hazing is illegal, strictly prohibited and is never a condition of membership," McMikle said. "We neither condone nor tolerate acts of hazing behavior within our organization or from our membership."During a hearing on Monday in Miami-Dade Circuit Court, Judge Mindy S. Glazer approved a $75,000 bond Pinder posted. As part of the conditions of Pinder's release, Glazer granted a request from prosecutors to place him on house arrest and "total lockdown."Glazer also ordered Pinder to wear a GPS device and to have no contact with the victims.Pinder's attorney, Justin Beckham, told Glazer that he and his client agreed to the bond conditions, saying, "We believe they're in his best interest at this time."The attorney made no other statements about the case in court.Beckham could not immediately be reached for comment on Tuesday.It was unclear on Tuesday if the other two defendants, Dyous and James, have hired attorneys. James was initially held on $75,000 bond on Tuesday at the Miami-Dade County Corrections and Rehabilitation, according to online jail records. He posted bond and was placed under house arrest, the arrest warrant notes.Jail information on Dyous was not available.ABC News' Benjamin Stein, Luke Barr and Jessica Gorman contributed to this report.

NYPD Outraged as Mayor Mamdani Calls for Netanyahu Protests in NYC

NYPD Outraged as Mayor Mamdani Calls for Netanyahu Protests in NYC

It appears that socialist Zohran Mamdani has yet to fully understand that he’s now the mayor of America’s largest city and that he’s no longer this bit-player activist in the New York Assembly.And members of the NYPD would love for him to figure that out so their job would be easier.Mamdani is urging New Yorkers to take to the streets to protest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during his visit to New York City, a move that has drawn criticism from some members of the New York Police Department.The call for demonstrations comes after a demanding stretch for the NYPD, which recently provided security for several major events, including the FIFA World Cup, Independence Day celebrations, and the America 250 festivities that attracted millions of visitors.Advertisement Critics argue that encouraging additional large-scale protests will place even greater demands on law enforcement resources.“The mayor’s activist posturing puts police officers on the street in a terrible position,” NYPD Police Benevolent Association President Patrick Hendry said, per the New York Post.“Protests during the UN General Assembly are nothing new, but when the mayor of the city is actively calling for demonstrations, violent agitators will assume they have permission to cause as much havoc as possible,” he added.“Those same agitators know that the NYPD’s protest response is already hamstrung by the dangerous lawsuit settlement the city signed over the PBA’s opposition,” said Hendry.“The mayor’s heated rhetoric could be enough to push demonstrations over the edge into chaos.”Since before his mayoral campaign, Mamdani has been a vocal critic of Netanyahu, with some critics saying his criticisms of Israel in general smack of anti-Semitism.During the campaign, he said he would seek to have Netanyahu arrested if he visited New York City, citing the 2024 warrant issued by the International Criminal Court over alleged war crimes in Gaza.This week, however, Mamdani acknowledged that he does not have the legal authority to carry out such an arrest.He instead encouraged New Yorkers to protest Netanyahu’s visit, a move critics say will require additional security and crowd-management efforts from the NYPD, The Post continued.“This is a city where, if anyone feels a level of frustration or opposition, protest is something that we will always respect,” Mamdani told reporters at City Hall this week.“That New Yorkers can express themselves, whether they are in support or in opposition, no matter on whatever topic,” he said.“And I’ve always said that when we respect our Constitution, we also respect our First Amendment,” he claimed.The NYPD recently managed an exceptionally busy summer that brought an unprecedented influx of visitors to the city.Officers worked extended 12-hour shifts to provide security for the additional crowds and major public events, successfully carrying out those responsibilities.Critics now argue that the mayor’s call for large-scale protests will place further demands on an already heavily tasked police force.“Was he serious?” one incredulous Manhattan cop asked The Post.“Cops just came off a crazy six weeks between the Knicks and the World Cup working long hours every day, and now he’s going to subject them to unnecessary problems,” the officer added, per The Post.One Brooklyn officer described Mamdani to The Post “nothing more than a cheap politician looking for cheap headlines” who knew — or should have known — that he “didn’t have the power” to arrest the Israeli prime minister.Another NYPD vet added, “When will he realize that he is not an activist anymore?”“He should be governing the city and trying to keep the peace, instead of inciting a riot with his rhetoric,” he said.This article may contain commentary which reflects the author's opinion.
