Excerpt:

The U.S. Department of Justice is reportedly weighing a proposal that would merge the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).

According to a report from Reuters, the department outlined the plan in a March 25 memo. In addition to a potential merger, the administration is also reportedly considering the closure of several field offices that handle antitrust, environmental and civil cases.

The administration believes that a merger of the ATF and the DEA would “achieve efficiencies in resources, case deconfliction and regulatory efforts,” the memo outlines. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche instructed department heads and relevant officials mentioned in the memo to provide feedback about the proposed restricting by April 2.

Blanche added that proposed cuts and mergers were previously submitted to the Office of Personnel Management and the White House Office of Management and Budget.

The Justice Department (DOJ) on Friday revealed it has charged a Pennsylvania man with threatening to harm and kill President Donald Trump, other U.S. officials, and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents.

Shawn Monper of Butler, Pennsylvania, was charged with the threats earlier this week after he allegedly made threatening comments on social media, and purchased guns to allegedly carry out the threats.

Monper allegedly made the posts under his username of “Mr. Satan” where the user commented in February that people needed to kill Trump, Tesla billionaire Elon Musk, and other Trump administration agency heads. In one message, he allegedly stated that he would “assassinate him myself.”

“I want to applaud the outstanding and courageous investigative work of the FBI and the Butler Township Police Department, who thankfully identified and apprehended this individual before he could carry out his threats against President Trump’s life and the lives of other innocent Americans,” Attorney General Pam Bondi said.

“Rest assured that whenever and wherever threats of assassination or mass violence occur, this Department of Justice will find, arrest, and prosecute the suspect to the fullest extent of the law and seek the maximum appropriate punishment,” she added.

President Donald Trump‘s immigration crackdown on foreign students in the United States is expected to have a chilling effect on enrollment at U.S. colleges and universities this fall, according to higher education analysts.

School experts worry foreign enrollment at U.S. schools could take a nose dive as the Trump administration continues its immigration enforcement initiative that has targeted students who support the terrorist organization, Hamas, and federal immigration officers raid dorm rooms in search of student visa recipients who refuse to leave despite their status being revoked.

Dr. William Brustein, special assistant to the president for global affairs and a distinguished history professor at West Virginia University, said arrests and visa revocations in recent weeks will hurt America’s ability to attract international students to institutions.

“I am fairly confident that the Trump’s administration’s crackdown on student visa recipients who it alleges engaged in pro-Hamas protests in the aftermath of the October 7, 2023 Hamas massacre of Israelis will indeed have a chilling effect on foreign student enrollment in U.S. colleges and universities this fall,” Brustein wrote in an email.

Legal Insurrection readers may remember my recent post on Neela Rajendra.

Rajendra once held the Chief Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Officer role at NASA’s famous Jet Propulsion Laboratory. She is steeped in the DEI movement, having co-founded the Science of Diversity & Inclusion Initiative (SODI) and advised various organizations on DEI strategies.

The organization retained Rajendra after rebranding her position in an apparent effort to evade President Donald Trump’s executive orders regarding the ending of DEI. She managed to cling to her job, even after 900 others at JPL were terminated.

Less than a week after this evasion came to light courtesy of the Washington Free Beacon, NASA jettisoned Rajendra.

NASA’s jet propulsion laboratory has parted ways with its top diversity officer, Neela Rajendra, after the Washington Free Beacon reported that the lab had changed her title in an effort to keep her.

“Neela Rajendra is no longer working at [the Jet Propulsion Laboratory],” lab director Laurie Leshin said in an all-staff email on Thursday. “We are incredibly grateful for the lasting impact she made to our organization. We wish her the very best.”

Leshin added that the newly formed Office of Team Excellence and Employee Success—intended to replace the DEI team Rajendra had led—would be moved to the Office of Human Resources.

An audit of government benefits by the U.S. Department of Government Efficiency found jaw-dropping findings about illegal aliens casting ballots, which may have cut into President Donald Trump’s already historic margin of victory.

Antonio Gracias, CEO of Valor Equity Partners and a volunteer advising Elon Musk’s austerity agency, announced on Wednesday that an audit of the Social Security Administration revealed that more than five million non-citizens had been assigned Social Security numbers, offering them a pathway to take advantage of welfare benefits and other privileges only available to Americans, including the right to vote.

“It made my jaw drop too when I saw it,” Gracias told “Fox & Friends” host Steve Doocy.

In their search to purge waste, fraud, and abuse from the SSA, the venture capitalist said the DOGE team audited the agency’s enumeration system, which tracks all Americans assigned to their corresponding identification numbers.

Trump Attorneys Eye ‘Loophole’ For Potential Third Term– trendingpoliticsnews.com

Excerpt:

President Donald Trump’s second term is still in its first 100 days, but speculation about a third term is already well underway.

According to multiple media reports, a top attorney for the president has been exploring a “loophole” in the U.S. Constitution that would allow him to remain in office after 2028, a move without recent historical precedent. President Trump said on Sunday that he was “not joking” about the possibility of serving another four years.

The reports add to Trump’s claim to NBC News that “there are methods” by which he could remain in office, though he declined to elaborate when asked.

CNN legal analyst Elie Honig said Tuesday he believes he knows what Trump’s lawyers are closely evaluating: the exact wording of the 22nd Amendment, which states that “[N]o person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice.”

Excerpt:

Despite the best efforts of the Democrats and their corporate media allies to land a glove on President Donald Trump, their “Signal-gate” campaign has failed to put a dent in his popularity.

A new poll from CBS News found Trump’s approval rating holding strong at 50%.

The poll was taken after the anti-Trump “news” outlet The Atlantic published its story about the administration’s leaked Signal chats.

Notably, most Americans told CBS that they do believe the Signal breach is “serious.”

However, it hasn’t impacted Trump’s popularity.

His overall job rating is split down the middle at 50-50.

Elon Musk and DOGE Discover Biden Gave 2.1 Million Social Security Numbers to Foreigners– lidblog.com

Excerpt:

 

Elon Musk and DOGE have revealed that Joe Biden gave Social Security numbers to 2.1 million illegals in 2024 alone.

This essentially made these illegal aliens quasi legal because they were able to use those official numbers to get jobs, loans, and any other manner of legal services to which they were not eligible.

Per Breitbart News:

Speaking at a conference alongside his longtime friend Antonio Gracias, CEO of Valor Equity Partners, Musk said DOGE uncovered some eye-opening numbers regarding social security in 2024.

“We started at the top of the system. Mapping the whole system of social security to understand where all the fraud was. There’s a lot of great people there that showed us a lot of waste, so that came with a big list of stuff. But this is what jumped out at us,” Gracias said as he pointed to the chart. “In 2021, you see 270,000 people; goes all the way to 2.1 million in 2024. These are non-citizens that are getting social security numbers.”

Gracias clarified that he had no political motivations for revealing those numbers, noting that his parents and siblings were born in Spain while touting himself a supporter of legal immigration. He also praised the employees of the social security administration who “took risks” to show them what has been allegedly happening.

A Trump bid for a third term could set off legal battles in states nationwide– www.latimes.com

Excerpt:

In a private meeting at a global summit in Buenos Aires in 2018, China’s president, Xi Jinping, turned to President Trump and said it was a shame he couldn’t stay in power beyond the two-term limit set by the U.S. Constitution. Trump agreed.

It was just one of several instances in which Trump mused over the prospects of an extra-constitutional reign in the White House.

“He’s talked about it for a really long time,” said John Bolton, Trump’s national security advisor from 2018 to 2019, recalling the meeting. “It’s on his mind, and he’d like to do it.”

The possibility of Trump running for a third term gained fresh attention this weekend after the president told NBC that he was “not joking” about pursuing one.

“There are methods,” Trump said. “But I’m not — it is far too early to think about it.”

Attorneys, scholars and state officials disagree. The knowledge that Trump may bid to stay in power, in a direct challenge to the 22nd Amendment, already has election officials in secretaries of state offices throughout the country bracing for legal battles that could begin as soon as next year.

President Trump, while addressing reporters in the Oval Office, said he would love to challenge Obama in a third-term presidential race.

Fox News’s Peter Doocy asked Trump, “I know it’s hypothetical right now, but if you were allowed for some reason to run for a third term, is there a thought that the Democrats could try to run Barack Obama against you?”

Trump responded, “I’d love that,”

He added, “That would be a good one. I’d like that. And no, people are asking me to run, and there’s a whole story about running for a third term. I don’t know, I never looked into it.”

Watch here:

Per WFIN:

President Donald Trump said he would “love” to run against former President Barack Obama in a hypothetical third-term run for the presidency that he has floated in recent days.

“I know it’s hypothetical right now, but if you were allowed for some reason to run for a third term, is there a thought that the Democrats could try to run Barack Obama against you?” Fox News’ Peter Doocy asked Trump on Monday evening from the Oval Office.

“I’d love that,” Trump responded. “I’d love that …. That would be a good one. I’d like that. And no, people are asking me to run, and there’s a whole story about running for a third term. I don’t know, I never looked into it. They do say there’s a way you can do it, but I don’t know about that.”

Starmer dismisses claims he’s been ‘played’ by Trump, and says future trade deal could lessen impact of tariffs – UK politics live | Politics– www.theguardian.com

Excerpt:

Keir Starmer has dismissed claims that he has been “played” by President Trump over tariffs.

In an interview with Sky News this morning, echoing what Jonathan Reynolds said in his morning interview round (see 8.58am), Starmer said that a future trade deal with the US might lead to the UK getting some exemptions from the tariffs coming tomorrow. He said:

We are of course negotiating an economic deal which will, I hope … mitigate the tariffs.

Asked if he had been “played” by US President Donald Trump, Starmer replied:

The US is our closest ally. Our defence, our security, our intelligence are bound up in a way that no two other countries are.

So it’s obviously in our national interest to have a close working relationship with the US, which we’ve had for decades, and I want to ensure we have for decades to come.

He said talks on an economic deal would normally take “months or years” but “in a matter of weeks we have got well advanced in those discussions”.

Starmer also confirmed that it was likely the UK would be affected by the tariffs being announced tomorrow.

We are obviously working with the sectors most impacted at pace on that.

Nobody wants to see a trade war but I have to act in the national interests.

Excerpt:

Before the 2024 election, there was a huge debate in the MAGA community about what to do about 2020.

Do you remember it?

One camp said “Fix 2020 first!”

The other camp said “Win 2024, forget about 2020.”

As we sit here now in 2025, President Trump just gave a big hint that perhaps BOTH are right.  Perhaps BOTH will happen!

We focused and won 2024, that was key.

But what of 2020?  Do we just leave it behind? Relegate it to history?

Or can the truth still come out?

Could it be the biggest bombshell ever?

President Trump just gave his clearest indication that not only will it come out, but they have all the documents.

I knew it!  I’ve told you all along, they’ve been acting like people who knew they already held the winning cards and they were just waiting for the right time to play them!

Speaking to Vince Coglianese this week, President Trump dropped a bombshell:  “I won by a lot. You’re going to find out. The documents are there!”

President Trump engaged in a little presidential trolling on Sunday when he was on a phone interview with NBC News. When asked about a possible 2028 re-election run – forbidden by the Constitution in the 22nd Amendment – he responded with a typical Trump tease.

 

President Donald Trump did not rule out the possibility of seeking a third term in the White House, which is prohibited by the Constitution under the 22nd Amendment, saying in an exclusive interview with NBC News that there were methods for doing so and clarifying that he was “not joking.”

“A lot of people want me to do it,” Trump said in a Sunday-morning phone call with NBC News, referring to his allies. “But, I mean, I basically tell them we have a long way to go, you know, it’s very early in the administration.”

“I’m focused on the current,” Trump added, in some of his most extensive comments to date about serving a third term.

President Trump said he doesn’t want to discuss his plans for 2028 but said “so many people” are asking him to run for a third term — a move prohibited by the Constitution.

Trump was asked about his comments from an earlier Sunday interview in which he said he was “not joking” about running for a third term and said there were some potential methods that could allow him to seek another term.

“I’m not looking at that, but I’ll tell you, I have had more people ask me to have a third term, which in a way is a fourth term because the other election — the 2020 election — was totally rigged, so it’s actually sort of a fourth term,” Trump said, when asked whether his comments earlier meant he’s “not planning to leave office on January 20.”

Trump repeatedly touted what he described as the success of his administration, saying that’s the reason people want him to stay in office.

President Donald Trump Tells NBC News That He’s “Not Joking” About Considering Third Term– www.vanityfair.com

Excerpt:

Two-time President Donald Trump didn’t rule out trying to seek another term in an exclusive interview with NBC News on Sunday. Pursuing a third term is unconstitutional and prohibited by the 22nd Amendment, as “no person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice.”

“A lot of people want me to do it,” Trump said in a morning phone call with NBC. “But, I mean, I basically tell them we have a long way to go, you know, it’s very early in the administration,” he continued, adding that he is “focused on the current.”

While the president has spoken about running again before, some Republicans have dismissed the comments as jokes.

When asked if he would seek another term, Trump replied, “I like working.” When NBC requested clarification, the president said, “I’m not joking” and it is “far too early to think about it.”

Amending the Constitution to abolish the two-term limit is incredibly difficult and would require either a two-thirds vote of Congress or two-thirds of the states agreeing to call a constitutional convention to propose changes. And even if that happened, three-quarters of the states would still need to ratify the changes.

President Donald Trump has repeatedly teased running for a third term in violation of the 22nd Amendment to the Constitution, which limits presidents to two terms.

Until now, it has been unclear whether he was making such comments seriously. But in a phone call with Meet the Press moderator Kristen Welker of NBC News on Sunday, Trump gave his clearest indication yet that he is indeed serious. “I’m not joking,” he reportedly said. “But I’m not—it is far too early to think about it.”

“There are methods which you could do it,” Trump continued. NBC reports that when Welker asked about the plausibility of Vice President JD Vance running for office and then passing power to Trump (who would try to run as VP in 2028, and then take over when Vance resigns, according to the theory) Trump replied, “That’s one,” adding, “but there are others too.” He declined to provide specific examples, NBC reported.

Billionaire entrepreneur and Trump advisor Elon Musk dropped a bombshell this weekend during a fiery 100-minute town hall in Green Bay, Wisconsin, where he campaigned for conservative judge Brad Schimel in the state’s upcoming Supreme Court election on Tuesday.

Joined by Antonio Gracias, a private equity titan and a key member of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) team tasked with rooting out waste in the federal government, Musk unveiled a shocking chart: a dramatic spike in Social Security Numbers issued to non-citizens, soaring from 270,000 in 2021 to a mind-blowing 2.1 million in 2024.

That’s almost 5 million non-citizens now embedded in the system—collecting benefits, draining taxpayer dollars, and, most alarmingly, infiltrating the voter rolls.

“This is a mind-blowing chart,” Musk declared, pointing to the data. “This wasn’t an accident. This was a massive, large-scale program under the Biden administration to import as many illegals as possible—ultimately to change the voting map of the United States, disenfranchise the American people, and lock in a permanent deep-blue, one-party state from which there’d be no escape.”

Elon Musk and his D.O.G.E. team have been doing great work, though the messaging of that work has been sloppy at best. It’s presented in a way where edgelords can share posts on X and say “BASED” in all caps and leaves way too much room for the left and the media (but I repeat myself) to be handed ammo. To Americans in the middle, the work can look reckless and cruel. One of the problems of cutting the size of government is “we need to cut the size of government… but not like that.”

If this past weekend’s town hall in Wisconsin is any indication, it looks like Cousin Elon has landed on a way to explain D.O.G.E.’s work in a way that the average American worker can understand and say, “Dude, that’s messed up.”

Democrats Look to Blow Up Budget Bill Over DOGE Cuts, Forcing a Government Shutdown – PJ Media– pjmedia.com

Excerpt:

The Democrats in Congress appear to be rousing themselves from a long sleep. Axios reported that they are going to drag out the oldest leftist protest tactic in the book: making unpleasant noises when a political opponent speaks.

The Dems plan to use “Hand clappers, red cards, and various other props” to dramatize their displeasure with Trump during his speech on Tuesday evening. They’re also going to hold up strongly worded signs.

If that’s the best they got, maybe they should just stay home.

The Democrats also plan to demonstrate their displeasure with Elon Musk and Donald Trump by deliberately blowing up the budget negotiations, thus forcing a government shutdown. The transparent ploy to try and make Trump look bad while portraying themselves as the heroes who stand up against healthcare and other cuts is how the Democrats believe they can get back in the game.

They need to do something. Musk and Trump have been steamrolling the Democrats by “flooding the zone” with so many cuts, executive orders, and other actions that the Democrats haven’t been able to catch their breaths. One “outrage” after another has them on their back foot, trying to respond.
