1.1 New Details Emerge on Venezuelan Maritime Strike

Congressional testimony is beginning to shed light on the Venezuelan boat strike that occurred in September. Admiral Frank M. Bradley, who confirmed he ordered the strike, is expected to testify that the individuals on the boat were attempting to complete a “drug run” when they were engaged [1]. In separate testimony, Admiral Bradley has also clarified that Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth did not issue a “‘kill them all’ order” in relation to the incident [2]. President Trump has weighed in on the matter, responding to questions about potential accountability by stating, “I think you’re going to find that this is war…Very soon we’re going to start doing it on land, too” [3]. Adding another layer to the official response, a “Top Department of War Official” has claimed that a forthcoming Inspector General (IG) report has “totally exonerated” Secretary Hegseth in the affair [4].

1. Trump Administration & National Security

1.1. Immigration Enforcement & Federal-State Conflict

The administration’s immigration enforcement posture has intensified, creating direct conflicts with state and local governments. In a move described as a “purge,” the administration fired eight immigration judges in a single sweep at New York’s 26 Federal Plaza [1]. Sources cited by the NYT claim the terminations were due to the judges being “too lenient on asylum and deportation matters, and/or too slow in processing cases” [2]. This action coincides with a direct demand from Homeland Security for New York Attorney General Letitia James to turn over 7,000 migrants [3], while separate reporting accuses the state of releasing nearly 7,000 “illegal alien criminals” onto the streets [4].
