Trump 2nd term live updates: GOP senator ‘sick to my stomach’ after Trump blow up

Many federal employees received their second email demanding they list five tasks they completed at work last week, according to multiple emails reviewed by ABC News.

While Elon Musk has said that employees who fail to respond to this “second chance” email would be fired, the latest email again does not address if not replying would put employment at risk.

Earlier on Friday, a high-stakes meeting between President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy dissolved when a shouting match broke out in the Oval Office over the Russia-Ukraine war.

The heated argument, which involved Vice President JD Vance, led to the cancellation of the presidents’ planned press conference and signing of a deal that would give the U.S. access to Ukraine’s wealth of mineral resources.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said he signed a declaration to expedite delivery of approximately $4 billion in military assistance to Israel on Saturday.

Since taking office, the Trump administration has approved nearly $12 billion in major foreign military sales to Israel, Rubio said.

“The Trump Administration will continue to use all available tools to fulfill America’s long-standing commitment to Israel’s security, including means to counter security threats,” Rubio’s statement said.

The Department of Homeland Security has requested the home addresses of potential undocumented immigrants from the Internal Revenue Service, sources familiar with the matter told ABC News, as part of its efforts to ramp up the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement agenda.

The tax agency rejected an initial request and is now in discussions over how to accommodate DHS without violating tax privacy laws, sources told ABC News.

DHS is seeking to provide names to the IRS in exchange for home addresses, phone numbers and email addresses, an administration official told ABC News.

Section 6103 of the federal tax code requires the IRS to keep individual taxpayer information confidential with certain exceptions.

The IRS has allowed undocumented immigrants to file income tax returns with Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers (ITINs). Undocumented immigrants contributed $25.7 billion in Social Security taxes using borrowed or fraudulent Social Security numbers, according to the Bipartisan Policy Center.

DHS has also asked the agency for auditors and investigators and accountants to help investigate businesses that may be hiring undocumented immigrants not authorized to work in the U.S. and is seeking the agency’s help targeting financial networks supporting trafficking organizations, the sources said.

Last month, DHS formally requested to deputize IRS agents from the Treasury Department for help with immigration enforcement.

The Washington Post was first to report the DHS request to the IRS for taxpayer information and resources.

A spokesperson for the IRS and the DHS did not respond to a request for comment.
