‘Zero tolerance' for attacks at ICE detention centers after cop shot near Texas center, DHS says

New York Post19 hours ago
The Trump administration will have 'zero tolerance' for those attacking federal officers or property after a local cop was shot near an ICE detention center in Texas, officials said Saturday.
The warning came after separate incidents at Department of Homeland Security facilities in Prairieland, Texas, just outside Dallas, and in Portland, Oregon.
A local officer responding to a report of a suspicious person with a gun was shot in Texas Friday night, while in Oregon, demonstrators clashed with federal officers at the Portland ICE facility after President Trump signed his 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act' into law.

'The Department [of Justice] has zero tolerance for assaults on federal officers or property and will bring the full weight of the law against those responsible.'

President Donald Trump announced that he signed a "Major Disaster Declaration" for the deadly floods in Texas Hill Country in a post on Truth Social Sunday. The declaration comes as rescue and recovery operations enter a third day following the devastating floods. "I just signed a Major Disaster Declaration for Kerr County, Texas, to ensure that our Brave First Responders immediately have the resources they need," Trump said in the post. 59 people are confirmed dead in the floods as of Sunday morning, Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick told Fox News. "We expect that to go higher sadly," Patrick said. Of those recovered, 12 adults and 5 children are pending identification, according to a post on Facebook from the Kerr County Sheriff's Office. There are still more than 20 children believed to be missing from Camp Mystic, an all-girls Christian camp that lies along the Guadalupe River. "These families are enduring an unimaginable tragedy, with many lives lost, and many still missing. The Trump Administration continues to work closely with State and Local Leaders," President Trump continued in the post. "Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem was on the ground yesterday with Governor Greg Abbott, who is working hard to help the people of his Great State.

Gaza ceasefire talks set to resume in Doha as Israeli airstrikes continue in the Strip

Indirect negotiations between Israel and Hamas for a possible ceasefire in Gaza are set to resume Sunday in Doha amid the backdrop of continued deadly Israeli attacks in the Strip. Israeli airstrikes killed at least 38 Palestinians in Gaza, hospital officials told the Associated Press on Sunday, as Israel's military said it has struck over 100 targets in the embattled enclave in the past day. Twenty people were killed and 25 wounded after strikes hit two houses in Gaza City, according to Mohammed Abu Selmia, the director of Shifa Hospital. In southern Gaza, 18 Palestinians were killed by strikes in Muwasi, an area on Gaza's Mediterranean coast where many displaced people live in tents, officials at Nasser Hospital in the nearby city of Khan Younis told The Associated Press. Two families were among the dead, according to the hospital. The Israeli military had no immediate comment on the individual strikes, but said it struck 130 targets across the Gaza Strip in the last 24 hours.

Ceasefire deal under negotiation The strikes occurred as efforts to reach a ceasefire deal appeared to gain momentum over the weekend. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office said his government sent a negotiating team to talks in Qatar on Sunday to conduct indirect talks, but he was quoted as saying that Hamas was seeking "unacceptable" changes to a U.S.-led proposal. The planned talks in Qatar come ahead of Netanyahu's planned visit on Monday to Washington to meet President Trump to discuss the deal. It is unclear if a deal will be reached ahead of Netanyahu's White House meeting. Mr. Trump has floated a plan for an initial 60-day ceasefire that would include a partial release of hostages held by Hamas in exchange for an increase in humanitarian supplies allowed into Gaza. The proposed truce calls for talks on ending the 21-month war altogether. Smoke billows east of Gaza City, in the central Gaza Strip, during Israeli bombardment on July 6, 202. BASHAR TALEB/AFP via Getty Images Hamas has sought guarantees that the initial truce would lead to a total end to the war and withdrawal of Israeli troops from Gaza. Previous negotiations have stalled over Hamas' demands for guarantees that further negotiations would lead to the war's end, while Netanyahu has insisted on Israel being able to resume fighting to fulfill his goal of destroying the militant group. A Palestinian official familiar with the talks and close to Hamas told AFP the talks in Doha would focus on conditions for a possible ceasefire, including hostage and prisoner releases. The official said Hamas would also seek the reopening of Gaza's Rafah crossing to evacuate the wounded. The war in Gaza began when Hamas terrorists attacked Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, killing some 1,200 people and taking 251 others hostage. Many of those hostages have since either been released or their bodies have been recovered in ceasefire agreements or other deals. Israel responded with an offensive that has killed more than 57,000 Palestinians, more than half of them women and children, according to the Hamas-run Health Ministry in Gaza. The ministry does not differentiate between civilians and combatants.

Former Social Security Official Pitched an Investment Strategy to Keep Fund Solvent. It Went Nowhere.

Social Security has long been considered the third rail of American politics—not to be touched at risk of losing re-election. But the Trump administration is signaling interest in finding a way to sustain the massive retirement trust fund's solvency. With the clock ticking on the projected depletion of the trust fund that pays a portion of retirement-benefit payments in the next decade, a former top official at the Social Security Administration proposed a possible fix earlier this spring.
