Trump 2nd term updates: Trump says USAID is run by 'radical lunatics'

The Department of Defense approved a request to use Buckley Space Force Base in Aurora, Colorado, for processing detained migrants, according to U.S. Northern Command.

The Department of Homeland Security had put in the request.

"ICE requirements for the facility include a temporary operations center, staging area, and a temporary holding location for the receiving, holding, and processing of criminal aliens," a U.S. Northern Command spokesperson said. "This facility will be manned by ICE senior leaders, special agents, and analysts, as well as members of DHS Components and other federal law enforcement agencies."

The use of military bases to help out DHS was a possibility mentioned by border czar Tom Homan before the Trump administration came into office.

Among the four "pillars" addressed in the Office of Personnel Management memo offering buyouts to government employees, one emphasizes loyalty.

Under "Enhanced standards of conduct," the memo states: "The federal workforce should be comprised of employees who are reliable, loyal, trustworthy, and who strive for excellence in their daily work. Employees will be subject to enhanced standards of suitability and conduct as we move forward. Employees who engage in unlawful behavior or other misconduct will be prioritized for appropriate investigation and discipline, including termination."

The other pillars highlight a return to in-office work, updated performance standards and a "more streamlined workforce" with anticipated downsizing in a "majority of federal agencies," per the memo.

House Speaker Mike Johnson said he "fully" supports President Donald Trump's funding freeze, downplaying the impacts, and noted it'll be temporary and not a "major interruption."

"It is a temporary pause for some programs -- it could be an hourslong pause. It is not a big thing. Some of the programs have already been approved. But what this is a, I believe, a common application of common sense," the speaker said during a fireside chat at the GOP retreat on Tuesday. "We want to make sure that the executive orders of the new president are being fully complied with regard to these programs. I think these would be quick reviews."

"I think it's going to be harmless," he added.

Asked by the reporter if Trump is stretching his executive authorities, Johnson said the president has been "using his executive authority, I think, in an appropriate manner."

Within minutes of the White House freezing billions in federal grants and loans, a federal judge blocked the funding pause from taking effect until next week.

The White House has addressed the buyout plan offered to federal workers on Tuesday, with press secretary Karoline Leavitt calling the payout "very generous."

"American taxpayers pay for the salaries of federal government employees, and therefore deserve employees working on their behalf who actually show up to work in our wonderful federal buildings, also paid for by taxpayers," Leavitt said in a statement. "If they don’t want to work in the office and contribute to making America great again, then they are free to choose a different line of work, and the Trump Administration will provide a very generous payout of 8 months."
