The ‘Speed of Trump’ continues.
The following is an installment of Trump-Vance team accomplishments (each article is linked for further info):
1. San Diego Migrant Shelter Closes after Decrease in Residents in Trump Term
The lack of new migrants coincides with the Trump administration’s ending of the CBP One app.
The organization also noted that it has not received any of the $22 million it was awarded last year under the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) Shelter and Services Program.
The organization stated:
We’ve bolstered our staff and volunteer efforts for pro bono legal immigration services, especially for immigrants and undocumented members of our community.
Moving forward, the San Diego Migrant Shelter will focus on its legal services, including representation for those facing deportation, free immigration legal services for students and faculty at San Diego-area colleges, and assistance for recipients of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA).
2. Trump DOJ Fires 20 Immigration Judges
Friday 13 judges who had yet to be sworn in and five assistant chief immigration judges were dismissed without notice, said Matthew Biggs, president of the International Federation of Professional & Technical Engineers, which represents federal workers. Two other judges were fired under similar circumstances in the last week.
The Trump administration—fulfilling the campaign promise to shrink government and cut wasteful spending—has executed one of the most significant workforce reductions in U.S. history, targeting over 200,000 probationary employees across multiple government agencies.
And as previously reported, President Trump is also targeting the IRS.
As many as 15,000 IRS workers have been identified for possible termination as early as next week
3. Deep Freeze: Most of the U.S. Needs to Prepare Itself for the Polar Vortex 2.0
The coldest burst of Arctic air this season is coming to put an icy exclamation point on America’s winter of repeated polar vortex invasions, meteorologists warn. And it will stay frozen all week long.
Different weather forces in the Arctic are combining to push the chilly air that usually stays near the North Pole not just into the United States, but also Europe, several meteorologists tell The Associated Press.
This will be the 10th time this winter that the polar vortex—which keeps the coldest of Arctic air penned in at the top of the world — stretches like a rubber band to send some of that big chill south, said Judah Cohen, seasonal forecast director at the private firm Atmospheric and Environmental Research. In a normal winter, it happens maybe two or three times.
This winter, with record snow in New Orleans and drought and destructive wildfires in Southern California, has not been normal.
Since the start of meteorological winter on December 1st of last year, New Orleans has seen more snow than Anchorage. And it is Anchorage-style temperatures—maybe even Fairbanks-style temperatures—that much of the U.S. east of the Rockies will be seeing.
4. Three Pages of Solid Gold the WH Staff Handed Every Lib Reporter Right Before Press Briefing
Daily Caller White House Correspondent Reagan Reese posted to social media platform X Friday a 3-page document handed out that day listing all of President Trump‘s accomplishments for the week.
Per pool report, a White House official walked through the press briefing room handing out a three-page document titled "This Week's Accomplishments."
At the top, the president's 53% approval rating and the release of Marc Fogel.

The top two accomplishments: Trump’s record high approval rating, citing a CBS poll that states 70% of respondents believe he is making good on campaign promises.
Second only to that accolade was Trump securing the release of teacher Marc Fogel.
Fogel had been sentenced to 14 years in prison in Russia after being detained in 2021 for trying to enter the country with a small amount of cannabis.
In a clear jab against Dementia Joe, the note on Fogel mentioned he had been imprisoned before WNBA player Brittany Griner who Biden secured the release of in exchange for arms dealer Victor Bout.
The good news does not stop there for Trump and the White House seemed very insistent that every left-wing reporter in the room knew it.
5. RFK Jr. Discusses Upcoming Changes to HHS—More Rules for Vaccines and Safety—And Which Employees Will Be Removed from HHS (VIDEO)
On Friday, Robert Kennedy, Jr. sat down with Laura Ingraham on FOX News for his first major interview since he took over the U.S. Health and Human Services Agency.

This is a 6:05 min clip of Kennedy’s interview during which he spoke about several topics that are dear to him.
The country and our health community are in for a significant shake-up. It’s about time.
6. Judge’s Decision: Trump’s Federal Employee Buyout Plan Moves Forward
A federal judge in Boston has upheld the Trump administration’s controversial “fork in the road” program, aimed at offering buyouts to federal employees.
This decision follows legal challenges initiated by Democracy Forward and labor unions, which argued the program adversely impacted union members by creating indirect effects. U.S. District Judge George O’Toole dismissed these claims, citing that the unions did not have a direct stake in the directive.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt:
This Boston Buyout Ruling is the first of many legal wins for the President. This goes to show that lawfare will not ultimately prevail over the will of 77 million Americans who supported President Trump and his priorities.
