Trump officials 'furious' about new dress code for embattled federal agency: report

Senior Trump administration officials are "furious" about a new dress code for an embattled federal agency, a journalist revealed.In a Friday post on X, reporter Anna Giaritelli shared that senior Trump administration officials and officers from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) are "furious with changes to ICE's dress code."According to reporting by The Intercept, the new dress code bans ICE agents from wearing jeans, sweatshirts, hoodies, non-collared shirts, and T-shirts displaying graphics while they're working in public spaces. Giaritelli wrote in her reporting for the Washington Examiner that the new guidelines went into place on July 17.The Intercept noted in its reporting that the new dress code came "in direct response" to a pair of deadly shootings by ICE agents in Maine and Texas, as well as a botched arrest attempt by two plainclothes ICE agents at Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas on July 13.Giaritelli posted that senior Trump administration officials and ICE officers are now complaining "it could lead to more assaults against federal police because of how easy they will be to spot in polo shirts and khaki tactical pants."However, online commentators showed their support for the dress code. In an X post reacting to Giaritelli's post, policy analyst Sarah Pierce said, "Heaven forbid the public know that it is a law enforcement officer that is questioning, arresting or shooting them.""I am obviously sympathetic to concerns of officer safety," wrote immigration policy analyst Aaron Reichlin-Melnick. "But I find ICE's claim to need to be in hiding particularly strange in light of every other law enforcement agency in the country that manages to do its job with its officers in uniform."

Trump suffers 'brutal' 19th straight loss in voter roll crusade: report

The Trump administration suffered its 19th straight court loss in its crusade to seize state voter rolls, per a report.An Illinois-based federal judge tossed a Department of Justice lawsuit that demanded the state's unredacted voter rolls. U.S. District Judge Colleen Lawless wrote in her opinion that amending the complaint would be "futile" and dismissed the case with prejudice, meaning it can't be revived in district court. Democracy Docket noted in its reporting that the "brutal" loss came two days after another federal judge dismissed the DOJ's lawsuit seeking New Jersey voter rolls. Illinois had already provided the DOJ with its redacted voter rolls, Democracy Docket noted, but the DOJ lawsuit sought sensitive identifying information, including driver's license and Social Security numbers.Lawless stressed, in her opinion, that the attorney general has to state a "legitimate purpose" to demand voter rolls. If an AG could simply justify a demand for voter rolls with a statement of any purpose, the current statutory requirement "would be pointless and it would provide him with unfettered authority to demand voting records."The DOJ argued in its lawsuit that the Civil Rights Act of 1960 requires states to hand over voter rolls and federal voter records that came into their possession. Lawless, however, noted that the executive director of the Illinois Board of Elections created the voter rolls."An ordinary English speaker would not say that she has come into possession of something that she created, established, and maintained," Lawless wrote. "Instead, the election officials are required to preserve records that come into their possession from outside sources."

FIFA kills controversial plan to sell World Cup rights to a Kushner-led group

Gianni Infantino has scrapped his plan to sell a slice of the World Cup to private investors, backing down barely 72 hours after the proposal leaked and set off a revolt inside soccer's governing body, The Wall Street Journal reported.The FIFA president announced Friday that FIFA Forward Enterprise would not proceed, saying the project had created divisions no longer in the interest of the sport. “Having listened carefully to all the views,” Infantino said, “it has become clear that the project has created divisions of a nature that, regardless of the level of support, are no longer in the interest of the objective set out in the first place.”The plan would have raised $4.2 billion at a roughly $20 billion valuation by selling about 20 percent of a new commercial arm, with a one-time payment of $20 million dangled to each of FIFA's 211 member federations.The lead investor lined up for the deal was Thrive Eternal, a vehicle founded by Joshua Kushner, brother of Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner, a link that had already drawn Democratic scrutiny before the reversal.UEFA's 55 members voted unanimously Thursday to boycott all FIFA competitions if the sale went through, a walkout that would have sidelined powers like Spain, France and England from the men's and women's World Cups. The confederations for Asia and for North America and the Caribbean also rejected the plan. The pressure reached Infantino's inner circle, with senior adviser Carlos Cordeiro, a former U.S. Soccer president who sat on the White House task force for the World Cup, resigning in protest. FIFA chief operating officer Kevin Lamour, who did not step down, said staff had been deceived by the secretive plan.Trump, whose earlier phone call pushing FIFA to reverse a red card had fueled questions about his closeness to Infantino, distanced himself Friday. Asked at Camp David whether the FIFA boss had consulted him on the sale, the president told reporters, "No, I never spoke to him."
