Q&A

• What was the outcome of the immigration enforcement surge in Minnesota?

  The surge concluded with increased cooperation from state and local officials, leading to a drawdown of federal agents. This was attributed to the efforts of Tom Holman and the Trump administration.

• What is the SAVE America Act, and what progress has it made?

  The SAVE America Act aims to secure elections by ensuring only citizens vote. The House passed it with some Democrat support, and it's gaining co-sponsors in the Senate, nearing the 50-vote threshold needed for potential passage.

• Why did the Trump administration terminate the EPA's endangerment finding?

  The administration argued the Obama-era finding was an invented law that harmed the auto industry, drove up car prices, and was an overreach of EPA authority. Terminating it is expected to save trillions and lower consumer costs.

• What was the significance of the Supreme Court's "major questions doctrine" in relation to the EPA's actions?

  The doctrine asserts that agencies need explicit congressional approval for major, economy-altering regulations. This principle has been used to challenge and overturn agency rules, like the EPA's CO2 endangerment finding, reinforcing the separation of powers.

• What were the main points of contention during Keith Ellison's congressional hearing?

  Senators questioned Ellison about his alleged involvement with fraudsters, campaign contributions, and his role in escalating tensions that led to violence against ICE officers, resulting in two deaths.
