My team and I have been briefed on the shooting tonight in downtown DC outside the Capital Jewish Museum and near our Washington Field Office. While we’re working with MPD to respond and learn more, in the immediate, please pray for the victims and their families. We will keep the public updated as we are able.

BREAKING: DC police ID the suspected killer of two Israeli embassy staffers outside the Jewish Museum tonight as 30-year-old Elias Rodriguez of Chicago. They say after he was in custody, he yelled “Free Palestine”, and told police where he discarded the gun. The victims were reportedly a couple, and the man had bought a ring in preparation to propose to her.

"Big Beautiful Bill" passed by the House last night contains enormous funding for Trump's border security & mass deportation agenda, including funding for an additional 10,000 ICE personnel. ICE has roughly only 5,500 deportation officers nationwide right now. Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons told me it would be a "game changer" for them if that funding becomes reality, as it would more than double their personnel and expand detention capacity to about 100,000 beds.

The goal would be to hit 1 million deportations each year.

Bill also contains about $50 billion for reviving construction of the border wall, hiring 3,000 new Border Patrol agents, 5,000 new CBP officers, and signing and retention bonuses.

It also includes something the US has never done before - a $1,000 fee for migrants to seek asylum.

WATCH: AG Pam Bondi on the murder of two @IsraelinUSA staffers last night: "Everyone in Washington, D.C., state, local, and federal agencies — and our great USAttyPirro, who will be prosecuting this case — will be doing everything in our power to keep all citizens safe." 🙏🏻

Thank you to the House and the leadership of President Trump in passing the Big Beautiful Bill. This Bill will add infrastructure and technology to make our gains on the borders permanent. It puts more boots on the ground to target cartel activity, alien smuggling, child trafficking and drug smuggling.  It will provide the needed funds and manpower to increase the great work of ICE on our deportation operations nationwide. We have many more public safety and national security threats to remove. This funding will allow ICE to vastly increase these efforts and keep the promise to America that we will enforce immigration law against those that are in this country illegally.  Now the Senate needs to step up. Border Security and National Security should not be a partisan issue. Let’s get this done!

Last night, I had the honor of being part of the 56th Annual Los Angeles County Peace Officers’ Memorial Ceremony at the Biscailuz Training Center. We added the names of Deputy Alfredo M. Flores, Patrolman Terry Dewitt Long, and Officer Raymond L. Messer to our Memorial Wall each representing a life given in service to others.
 
Through the 21-gun salute, the riderless horse, the passing of the Flame of Hope, and a candlelight vigil, we paid tribute to their courage, legacy, and unwavering dedication.
 
We don’t take an oath for fame or fortune. We take it for purpose. We join to protect, to serve, and to make a difference.
 
We will never forget.

Early this morning in McAllen, TX, the TxDPS Brush Team, U.S. Border Patrol, and TXMilitary apprehended 3 illegal immigrants from Mexico and Honduras who had just crossed the Rio Grande.

This is part of Operation Lone Star—a joint anti-smuggling effort in the RGV.

One man admitted he paid $2,500 to the cartel to cross. All 3 wore wristbands indicating cartel payment.

Texas will continue working with federal and military partners to deter illegal crossings and disrupt criminal smuggling operations.

The mission continues. 🇺🇸
