What happened

Well supportedReported by 16 independent outlets

The administration has pushed forward a mass deportation agenda, which began in July 2026 and was supported by a court ruling allowing fast-tracking of deportations. Separately, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin warned that voting machines using China-made components introduce significant security risks. DHS stated it would deny grants to states that do not conduct post-election audits.
