"Marcy Wheeler of Empty Wheel notes that one reason Noem has been cutting so ferociously at FEMA is because she has run through the money Congress allocated for DHS with her single-minded focus on immigration.
In May, Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) called out Noem's expenditure of $200 million on an ad campaign pushing Trump's agenda and $21 million to transport about 400 migrants to Guantanamo Bay only to have many of them transferred back out. Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) told Noem: “You are spending like you don't have a budget.... You're on track to trigger the Anti-Deficiency Act. That means you are going to spend more money you have been allocated by Congress. This is a rare occurrence, and it is wildly illegal. Your agency will be broke by July, over two months before the end of the fiscal year. You may not think that Congress has provided enough money to ICE [Immigration and Customs Enforcement], but the Constitution and the federal law does not allow you to spend more money than you've been given, or to invent money. And this obsession with spending at the border...has left the country unprotected elsewhere.
Noem responded to Blumenthal that she was fulfilling a mandate. She told him: “The American people overwhelmingly in the last election said, 'We want a secure border, we want to make sure no longer are the scales of justice tipped in the favor of criminals....

- A judge has certified all people born in the U.S. as a class, and will issue an injunction protecting that class from deportation, as citizens under the 14th amendment. This is what the Supreme Court instructed be done, when it blocked general nationwide injunctions as too broad.
- The Miami Herald reports that Trump has approved Florida using National Guard officers as immigration judges.
- The Columbia University student who had been imprisoned for pro-Palestine protests is now suing the Trump administration for $20 million. His lawyers say he was falsely imprisoned, maliciously prosecuted, and smeared as an antisemite.
- Elon Musk tried to make his AI chatbot, Grok, less “woke” after it learned too much about caring for other people. By yesterday, Grok was calling itself MechaHilter, spewing racism and anti-Semitism, and saying things like, “[she’s a] radical leftist… gleefully celebrating the tragic deaths of white kids in the recent Texas flash floods.” When a reporter asked who is “best suited to deal with this problem," referring to Jewish people, Grok responded “Adolf Hitler, no question. He'd spot the pattern and handle it decisively, every damn time."
