Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), who used to be one of President Donald Trump's most loyal allies, accused her own party on Sunday of pushing fear about a migrant caravan to save itself in the midterms.Greene was responding to a post from right-wing activist Anthony Aguero. He shared video of a group of migrants walking through Mexico and claimed that "over 400 aliens predominantly from Honduras" had entered the country Thursday and were "ready to make their way to the US southern border.""Someone is incentivizing this movement, this is not organic," Aguero wrote.Greene didn't buy that the timing was an accident."We have not seen a caravan headed to the U.S. southern border in several years, why now?" she wrote on X. "Oh yeah, there is an election coming and the GOP needs to scare you into voting because nothing else is working."Her post was shared by Mike Madrid, a Republican strategist and co-founder of the anti-Trump Lincoln Project who studies Latino voters.Republicans have used this strategy before. In the weeks before the 2018 midterms, Trump repeatedly warned about a caravan of Central American migrants heading north. He called it an "invasion" and sent troops to the border. Republicans lost the House that November.Greene, who left Congress after a public split with Trump, has become a sharp critic of the GOP. She has also broken with the president on the Epstein files, foreign wars and the cost of living.Her post came as the administration's own immigration message looked shaky. Over the weekend, Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin reported ICE officers were told to stop arresting immigrants without criminal records, an order the administration quickly called a "miscommunication" and reversed. Meanwhile, some vulnerable Republicans, including Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar (R-Fla.), have started criticizing Trump's crackdown.We have not seen a caravan headed to the U.S. southern border in several years, why now?Oh yeah, there is an election coming and the GOP needs to scare you into voting because nothing else is working. https://t.co/6AHNluG9ps— Marjorie Taylor Greene ????????

With President Donald Trump rejecting Iran’s latest proposal to end the war on Saturday, multiple experts suspect the president is risking significant “danger” due to a fundamental misunderstanding of the United States’ negotiating position, one that could have deadly consequences within the next 30 days.Trump told Axios on Sunday that the deal Iran proposed to end the war was “not the deal I want to make,” adding that he may have agreed to the terms “maybe a year ago,” but that Iran had since “overplayed their hand.” Andreas Krieg, an associate professor at King’s College London, told Al Jazeera for its Sunday report that in actuality, it may be Trump who overplayed his hand.Krieg suspected that Trump was under the belief that “time is improving the U.S. bargaining position,” Al Jazeera wrote, but the problem for the White House, Krieg said, was that “the gamble cuts both ways.”“[Trump] wants Tehran to reopen Hormuz without Washington paying the full economic and political price Iran is currently demanding,” Krieg said. “The danger is that he is confusing Iranian pain with Iranian willingness to capitulate. Those are not the same thing.”Trump’s alleged miscalculation, Krieg warned, could not only fail to bolster the United States’ negotiating position, but could end up backfiring.“So this can backfire,” Krieg told Al Jazeera. “Trump thinks Iran’s clock is running faster than America’s. Tehran thinks the opposite: that Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, global energy markets and ultimately Trump himself have a lower tolerance for prolonged disruption than Iran has for economic punishment.”Beyond backfiring on the United States economically, another expert warned that Trump’s hesitance to reach a deal could pose risks to American service members stationed in the Middle East.“All signs point to a major escalation between the US, Iran and Israel. And it may very well be initiated by Tehran itself a week or two before the midterm elections,” warned foreign policy expert Trita Parsi earlier this month.

Former White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt described President Donald Trump telling British Prime Minister Keir Starmer over a private lunch that his policies were "extremely stupid." One pro-Trump TV host says she should have kept that to herself.Leavitt told the story on "Hang Out with Sean Hannity." Hannity had asked how "brutally honest" Trump is with world leaders."With Starmer, I remember we sat down for lunch," Leavitt said. She said she couldn't remember whether it was Windsor Castle or "the place where Keir Starmer lives," and noted that the trip was "a year ago today," because the memory had come up on her phone."We were sitting around the table and enjoying lunch in this beautiful place. The president began attacking him because of his policies," she said.According to Leavitt, Trump told Starmer, "Your policies here are extremely stupid," and "You need to close your borders.""He says it exactly like that," she said. "'You must deport these people who are in your country.'"She said Trump told the prime minister that the British people "hate what you do." Leavitt also pointed out where the scolding happened."In his home, and in his country," she said. "We're not even in the White House. We're not even on our own land."Newsmax host Greg Kelly, a strong Trump supporter, was furious."Unbelievable. So now that she's an Ex press secretary, Karoline (with a K) Leavitt GOSSIPS about PRIVATE meetings the President had with world leaders?" Kelly wrote on X on Saturday."We're in the middle of MIDTERM MADNESS and Karoline (with a K) 'dishes' Without a Care In the World," he added. "A BREACH of Trust: The President's, and the Nation's. So IMMATURE!!!!"Kelly's post had more than 325,000 views by Saturday evening.Trump made a state visit to the U.K. last September. He stayed at Windsor Castle and met with Starmer at Chequers, the prime minister's country residence.Unbelievable. So now that she’s an Ex press secretary, Karoline (with a K) Leavitt GOSSIPS about PRIVATE meetings the President had with world leaders? We’re in the middle of MIDTERM MADNESS and Karoline (with a K) “dishes” Without a Care In the World. A BREACH of Trust: The…— Greg Kelly (@gregkellyusa) September 27, 2026

ICE officers around the country got verbal orders this weekend to stop arresting immigrants who have no criminal record. According to Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin, the Trump administration now says the guidance was a mistake and has reversed it.Jennie Taer broke the story Saturday for The Daily Wire. Citing agency sources, she reported that ICE officers were told they could only arrest undocumented immigrants who had criminal convictions or pending charges "for the time being."Melugin said on X Saturday night that he had talked by phone with Trump and with nine ICE and Department of Homeland Security sources. According to him, the guidance was real."Yes, this verbal guidance did go out to ICE offices across the country last night," Melugin wrote. "I've spoken with ICE agents who received it & were shocked & frustrated by it."He said no one could tell him where the order came from."It's unclear who it started with," he wrote. "However, I'm told it's erroneous, was some type of 'miscommunication' during conversations about prioritizing 'worst first,' and there is no change in immigration enforcement policy."Melugin said Trump told him that anyone in the country illegally is still "on the table" for arrest and deportation. He also reported that new guidance went out to ICE field offices that night to reverse the earlier message, and that ICE sources confirmed they received it. Under the new guidance, arrests of immigrants without criminal records, including "collaterals," will continue.DHS then posted its own denial."This is false. No one is off the table," the department wrote on X. "Anyone in our country illegally will be arrested and deported."Melugin still couldn't explain how the order went out."I'm not really sure what happened here," he wrote.The mix-up comes as some Republicans have started criticizing the administration's immigration crackdown ahead of the midterms. Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar (R-Fla.) recently accused Trump of "betrayal," and Sen. Roger Marshall (R-Kan.) has also spoken out.
