DEPUTIZED BY ICE: More than 29,000 state and local officers are now deputized by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), roughly double February's count, according to a new report. The officers serve through ICE's 287(g) program, named for a section of the Immigration and Nationality Act that lets the agency delegate immigration powers to state and local police. They now far outnumber the roughly 11,600 deportation officers ICE employs directly, according to a report.

'GREATEST POLITICAL SCANDAL': Rep. Randy Fine told NEWSMAX that a federal investigation into Rep. Ilhan Omar's citizenship status could uncover “the greatest political scandal in American history” if allegations that she was never legally a U.S. citizen are substantiated. Appearing on NEWSMAX's "National Report," Fine questioned whether Omar legally obtained citizenship through her father's naturalization, arguing that federal investigators must determine whether she meets the constitutional requirements to serve in the House of Representatives. "There's clear evidence that Ilhan Omar is not an American citizen and never has been for two reasons," he said. "Number one, her father wasn't eligible for citizenship, and, number two, when he was naturalized, she wasn't under the age of 18. And there's lots of evidence that suggests that's true."
