White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt defended the administration’s latest policies in a fiery press briefing, tackling Democratic outrage over government reforms, immigration enforcement, and Elon Musk’s unexpected role in federal efficiency.
Leavitt accused Democratic leaders of inciting violence, citing statements from Ilhan Omar and Chris Van Hollen about “fighting in the streets.” She also revealed that Musk, alongside President Trump, is spearheading efforts to streamline government operations.
Meanwhile, immigration policies remain under scrutiny, as reports emerge that some detained illegal immigrants are being released due to limited detention capacity.
On Gaza, Leavitt underscored the dire humanitarian situation, justifying Trump’s latest policy shift in the region.
The briefing highlighted deep political tensions as the administration pushes its agenda amid growing controversy.
