The US and Iran have reportedly agreed to halt attacks and hold talks in Qatar’s capital of Doha this week after exchanging fire through the weekend and threatening the fragile 60-day memorandum of understanding.

A senior US official told Axios on Sunday, “We decided to stop all the kinetic activity.” Talks are scheduled for Tuesday to address disagreements over the Strait of Hormuz. Iran struck vessels in the Strait on Friday and Saturday after disagreement over Iran charging “transit fees” to transit the waters.

Initially, Tuesday’s talks were scheduled to be held in Switzerland to discuss Iran’s nuclear program.

Vice President JD Vance participated in the first round of talks in Switzerland last week, where he announced that “good progress” was made with the Iranians and that Iran agreed to allow nuclear inspectors into the country to ensure they are not rebuilding the nuclear program. However, Iran later denied agreeing to this term.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, US Central Command announced on Saturday that additional strikes were launched against “multiple targets in Iran” following a Saturday attack on a commercial vessel. This followed strikes on Friday after Iran hit another ship in the Strait of Hormuz.

“U.S. Navy and Air Force fighter jets conducted strikes tonight on 10 Iranian military targets at multiple locations in and near the Strait of Hormuz for Iran’s drone attack on M/T Kiku,“ CENTCOM said in a Saturday statement, publishing footage of several strikes.

President Trump on Saturday warned, “There may come a point when we are no longer able to be reasonable, and will be forced to militarily complete the job that we very successfully started.

He continued, “If that happens, the Islamic Republic of Iran will no longer exist!

Speaker Mike Johnson was on “Sunday Morning Futures” with host Maria Bartiromo to talk about the celebration of the 250th anniversary of the United States of America.

Speaker Johnson also talked about President Trump’s America First agenda, which included making housing more affordable and passing the SAVE America Act to secure federal elections.

“Coming to you live from the US Capitol, celebrating America’s upcoming 250th birthday on July 4th,” Bartiromo said.

“Congress itself was established on March 4th, 1789, with the ratification of the US Constitution,” Bartiromo said.

“Today, almost 250 years later to the date, the United States is the beacon of the free world, the superpower economically and militarily, defending freedom across the globe,” Bartiromo continued.

“Mr. Speaker, great to have you this morning, welcome,” Bartiromo said.

“This truly is a very happy birthday celebration, as you noted at the outset. This is going to be an exciting week across our country, celebrating the greatest nation in the history of the world. It’s not even close,” Johnson said.

“As you noted, the most free, and most successful, most powerful, most benevolent nation that has ever been, and it is our responsibility to steward that grand experiment in self-governance,” Johnson said.

“Let’s talk about where we’ve come from, and what the Founders envisioned In God We Trust, freedom, and liberty. How do you assess the last 250 years? Tell us where we are coming from first,” Bartiromo asked.

“The experiment in self-governance has been a tremendous success, and the reason is because we are built upon these very firm foundations. This didn’t happen by happenstance. It’s because the Founders studied and prayed and put together a matchless Constitution, a system of government that followed frankly, the admonitions of scripture,” Johnson continued.

“I want to talk a little about where we are going. You are managing lots of different personalities in the Congress. You have a small margin to actually get the President’s agenda passed. You had a rare bipartisan win with the housing bill but of course now we are seeing that held up because of the President’s threats to not sign it because he wants the SAVE America bill attached. What are you going to do about it?” Bartiromo asked.

“Well, I met with the President for a few hours on Thursday in the Oval Office and we talked about it in great detail. The housing bill really is a Republican priority because it will lower housing costs,” Johnson said.

“The President and I talked about that at length. Of course, he wants to do all those things,” Johnson said.

Speaker Johnson also discussed the SAVE America Act and explained that the intention is to put it on a reconciliation bill to help it pass easier.

“We passed it three times in the House already. We’re going to pass it again, and this time we are gonna try to put it on a reconciliation bill, and the reason that is so important Maria as you know, is that it prevents the necessity of 60 votes in the Senate. The Democrats want no part of this,” Johnson continued.

Why is Markwayne Mullin encouraging Haitian and Syrian migrants – who were supposed to be in the US “temporarily” – to apply for a permanent visa after the Supreme Court ruled that the Trump Administration is allowed to end their protected status?

DHS Chief Markwayne Mullin on Sunday appeared on CNN’s “State of the Union” to discuss the Supreme Court’s decision to end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for hundreds of thousands of Haitians and Syrians.

The Supreme Court, in a 6-3 decision, ruled that the Temporary Protected Status is… temporary!

The three liberal justices Sotomayor, Kagan and Jackson dissented.

The Department of Homeland Security previously said the ‘Temporary Protected Status’ for the Haitian and Syrian migrants will expire July 1.

However, Markwayne Mullin told CNN’s Jake Tapper that the Haitians and Syrians can apply for permanent residence in the US.

“Will you be deporting all of them? Will they all be deported back to their home countries – Haiti and Syrian – and when will these deportations start? Will they be immediately?” Jake Tapper asked Mullin.

“These individuals have a couple of choices: they can try to apply for a for a permanent residence here, they can apply for a temporary visa if they choose to, or they can choose to go back,” Mullin said.

Choose to go back?

Jake Tapper asked Mullin if applying for citizenship or a visa will stop the deportation process.

“Haitians with pending criminal charges, prior felony charges, or are on welfare are generally not eligible for permanent residence, but each case will be looked at individually,” Mullin said.

“If they want to go back, we’ll help them with that. I’m talking directly to the individuals that are with the temporary protected status: either try to fill out the paperwork and be here underneath a permanent status, or we’ll help you get back to your country,” Mullin said.

President Trump announced on Sunday that he will meet with the Democratic Nominee for DC Mayor and likely winner of the upcoming election, Janeese Lewis George, but put her and her Communist supporters on notice. 

“I will meet with Janeese Lewis George, but must forewarn everyone that Washington, D.C., is again a Safe and Prestigious Community,” the President said.

He further said he will not let his progress in making DC Safe and Beautiful be “destroyed by a Communist adherent who has no intention to, MAKE WASHINGTON GREAT AGAIN!”

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Janeese Lewis George won her Primary Election earlier this month to replace current Mayor Muriel Bowser, who is retiring at the end of her third term in office.

Lewis George will face D.C. Statehood Green Party candidate Robert Gross in November, where she will “almost certainly” win, Trump said.

“Janeese Lewis George, the Communist who is almost certainly going to be elected Mayor of Washington, D.C., has stated that she wants to empty the prisons, make D.C. a Sanctuary City, oppose ICE, welcome Criminal Illegal Aliens back into our beloved Capital, resist Anti-Crime Crackdowns, Defund the Police, continue and expand Cashless Bail, and so many other Capital destroying ‘things,’” Trump wrote in a Truth Social Post on Sunday.

“In the end, it will never work out, nor will I let it even have a chance because I have worked too hard to make Washington, D.C., the Envy of the World, with almost No Crime, and a Beautification process that has been second to none. I will meet with Janeese Lewis George, but must forewarn everyone that Washington, D.C., is again a Safe and Prestigious Community.”

He continued, “Many people, including myself, have worked long and hard to get it there, and we will not let it be destroyed by a Communist adherent who has no intention to, MAKE WASHINGTON GREAT AGAIN!”

President Trump threatened earlier this month to invoke the DC Home Rule Act again if Lewis George won the race.

Asked how he would feel if the Democratic Socialist won her race, Trump said, “I wouldn’t like it.” He continued, “Maybe we’ll take back Washington, run it on a federal basis. We won’t put up with it. We’re not going to lose our businesses.”

Trump previously signed an executive order declaring a “crime emergency” and invoking powers under section 740 of the Home Rule Act to federalize the police last Summer. He also deployed hundreds of federal agents and National Guard troops across the capital.

WATCH:

Meanwhile, Lewis George has vowed to end the DC police’s cooperation with federal immigration authorities and to “defend DC” and “protect” DC’s Home Rule against Trump. She will also work to pass legislation giving DC statehood.

A new investigation has revealed that within four years, 4,300 migrants who had been previously deported were already back in the UK even as the Home Office is pitching a new scheme.

GB News reports:

The findings show 4,614 separate re-entry incidents involving people who had been removed from the country over the five-year span.

More than 720 of these migrants faced deportation on at least two occasions, the data from The Sun reveals.

Albanian nationals represented the largest group among those returning after removal, accounting for over one-third of all cases with 1,525 individuals detected back in Britain.

According to The Sun, the Home Office admits “these figures could be much higher as not every individual can be matched with previous ID checks.”

The UK continues to face a seemingly endless wave of migrants into the country.

The Home Office attempted to assuage concerns by announcing ‘new safe and legal routes’ for refugees to come to the UK.

“Our new community sponsorship scheme will allow approved groups to choose the refugees they sponsor, taking responsibility for their housing, integration and supporting them into work. Trusted universities will be able to directly sponsor refugees through a new refugee study route,” they shared on X.

“A new refugee work sponsorship route is expected to open next year.”

“All arrivals will have refugee status, undergo strict biometric screening, criminality checks and health assessments before arrival, to ensure support reaches those in genuine need.”

“Numbers will start small and build over time, ensuring the routes remain controlled and sustainable while public confidence is restored in Britain’s immigration system.”

New safe and legal routes for refugees to come to the UK will begin to rollout in the autumn, giving genuine refugees a pathway to rebuild their lives.

The move is facing deep skepticism.

One user on X noted, “This is by design. They are intentionally overloading the UK with migrants. The aim is to destroy nationality, as a population with no sense of cohesion or belonging will offer up less collective resistance to the state. Nationality = pride. Pride = identity.”
