With 50-50 split, the West Virginia Democrat's votes on minimum wage, controversial nomination are crucial for Biden. =========================================================== Here's the current power structure in Washington: 1. President Joe Biden 2. Vice President Kamala Harris 3. Sen.

The Biden administration’s new Homeland Security plan would effectively abolish U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) via administrative, according to a Washington Times exclusive report on Sunday. During a remote meeting with agency personnel in Texas, several individuals familiar with the plans said Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas proposed converting some of the 4,000 ICE agents to criminal investigators, a move deportation officers compared to city police departments transferring beat cops to detectives, effectively ending street patrols for basic crimes. “This is an administrative abolishment of ICE as we currently know it,” one source told The Washington Times.
