While Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem will soon depart her Cabinet-level post, Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) also wants White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller to leave President Trump's inner circle.
Tillis told CNN's Jake Tapper on "State of the Union" Sunday that Miller, a longtime adviser to Trump dating back to his first presidential campaign, is "out of his depth" and has been "repeatedly responsible for embarrassments" for the administration. |

Republican Sen. Thom Tillis (N.C.) said Sunday his party has "lost the debate" on immigration, days after President Trump tapped Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-Okla.) to replace Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem.
"We've lost the debate over immigration and deportations. I believe that we should deport everyone that we can find that came across the borders during the Biden administration. But we've got to be smart, use our limited resources, go after the most dangerous first," Tillis told host Jake Tapper on CNN's "State of the Union." |

Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) on Sunday said the deadly strike on an Iranian girls' school last week is "unforgivable," as multiple outlets report that the U.S. launched the strike.
Murphy told host Jake Tapper on CNN's "State of the Union" that it is "likely" the U.S. carried out the attack. Analyses conducted by The New York Times and CNN indicate it was in fact an U.S. strike on the school, while two U.S. officials told Reuters that military investigators believe that to be the case. |

Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) on Sunday said Democrats want to fund several agencies housed under the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) with the exception of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP). "Let's just pass those funding bills. Let's confine the ICE and CBP reform discussion just to those two agencies and fund the others. Thus far, Republicans have blocked those efforts. We want to fund TSA [Transportation Security Administration], FEMA [Federal Emergency Management Agency], Coast Guard and CISA [Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency]," Kaine said during an appearance on CBS's "Face the Nation." |

"A military cooperation between Iran and Russia is not something new. It's not a secret. It has been in the past, and it's still there, and will continue in the future," Araghchi told NBC News's Kristen Welker on "Meet The Press," describing the relationship as "a very good partnership." |

"Well, I'm glad he moved on," Tillis told host Jake Tapper on CNN's "State of the Union." "Secretary Noem may have been effective as the governor in South Dakota, but it's very clear that her experience didn't scale to something the size and scope of Homeland Security." |
