The removal of Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney from her role as the third-ranking Republican in House leadership happened quickly on Wednesday morning. Less than a half hour after House Republicans convened, Cheney had been removed by voice vote.
But Republicans won't be so easily rid of Cheney. While she's no longer a member of elected leadership, something she said in a speech on the House floor on Tuesday night will continue to haunt her party as it attempts to appeal to voters across the nation over the next 18 months. "Remaining silent and ignoring the lie emboldens the liar," Cheney said. (Worth noting: She said it to a nearly empty House chamber, as her colleagues were apparently disinterested in her words.)
Hundreds of Border Patrol officers are mobilizing to bolster the president’s crackdown on immigration in snowy Minneapolis, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said Sunday, as tensions between federal law enforcement and local counterparts flare after an ICE-involved shooting last week left a mother of three dead.

Nationwide outcry over the killing of a Minneapolis woman by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent spilled into the streets of cities across the US on Saturday, with protesters demanding the removal of federal immigration authorities from their communities and justice for the slain Renee Good.

Since early December the US Coast Guard and other military branches have boarded and taken control of five oil ships that had previously been sanctioned, all either accused of being in the process of transporting Venezuelan oil or on their way to take on oil that has been subject to US sanctions since President Donald Trump began a pressure campaign against the leadership of the country during his first term.
