Trump talk of joining Iran-Israel conflict unnerves lawmakers in both parties
Senators in both parties are growing increasingly nervous about the possibility that President Trump could insert the United States directly in the Israel-Iran war with a decision to bomb Iran to prevent it from obtaining a nuclear weapon. It's not clear whether Trump has made a decision himself on an issue that divides his own party and the MAGA movement. On Wednesday, he said, 'I may do it, I may not do it. I mean, nobody knows what I'm going to do.' The Wall Street Journal later in the day reported that Trump had told senior aides he had approved of an attack plan for Iran but was holding off on giving a final order to see if that country abandons its nuclear program. On Capitol Hill, there is broad support in both parties for Israel, but there is also fear about getting drawn into a larger war in the Middle East. 'I'm uncomfortable,' said Sen. John Hickenlooper (D-Colo.), who noted that Trump campaign on keeping the U.S. out of foreign conflicts. Since taking office, Trump has so far unsuccessfully sought to get peace deals in the Russia-Ukraine war and in the Middle East. 'These decisions are always a function of assessing risk accurately and your reward,' said Hickenlooper. 'What do we get out of it? And I'm not sure what's in it for the American people. That's the argument the president ran on.' 'We run the risk of getting dragged into a much more serious conflict,' he continued, while noting he's '100 percent' on the Israeli side. 'But I'm not sure this is necessary to their survival for us to do something like this.' Lawmakers are also worried about what their constituents back home are thinking. Sen. Shelley Moore Capito ( said U.S. officials 'need to be contemplative and look at all the ramifications.' 'I'd imagine every American's like, 'hoo, this situation's spiraling,'' she said. While Capito expressed concern, she also said she believes Trump will only strike Tehran if he feels fully compelled to do so beyond a reasonable doubt. 'I don't really worry with this president because he doesn't pay as much attention to the rhetoric, when the Ayatollah says, 'ohhh we'll ruin you,'' Capito said. 'I just think … slow it down if you can, make sure you're making the right decision. I trust the president to make the right decision, but it's tough.' According to one Senate GOP aide, the GOP conference has a 'healthy mix' on the question of getting more involved. At one end is Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), a close ally of Trump but also a hawkish member who is pushing for regime change. Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) represents another end of the spectrum, and has called for the U.S. to stay out of the situation entirely. Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) told reporters Wednesday that he was wary of the U.S. getting increasingly ingrained in yet another conflict in the Middle East. 'I don't want us fighting a war. I don't want another Mideast war,' he told CNN. 'I'm a little concerned about our sudden military buildup in the region.' Hawley said he had spoke to Trump on Tuesday night. 'I think Trump's message to them is if you don't [give up nukes], you're on your own with Israel,' Hawley said of the Iranians. 'I think all that's fine. It's a very different thing though for us to then say, but we are going to offensively … go strike Iran or insert ourselves into the conflict,' he continued, adding that a U.S. offensive is something 'I'd be real concerned about.' 'I don't think there's a need for the United States to affirmatively insert ourselves,' he said. Democrats are pressing for more information. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) on Wednesday told reporters that he requested an all-senators classified briefing that is set for early next week. Sen. Mark Warner (Va.), the top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, separately expressed frustration about being kept in the dark. 'I'm a member, as you said, of the gang of eight and we're supposed to know. I have no foggy idea what this administration's plans are or what the foreign policy is vis-a-vis Iran,' he said on CNN on Wednesday afternoon. The surprise for some Republicans is that it is clear Trump is seriously considering joining the assault on Iran. This is a shift given Trump's aversion to foreign wars. The president has been a harsh critic of the Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts. Rep. Warren Davidson (R-Ohio) posted a meme on X exemplifying the MAGA coalition's lack of enthusiasm for a more intense role in Iran. Democrats, meanwhile, are divided on the possibility of asserting Congress's authority over war powers amid talk of a U.S. strike on Tehran. Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) launched a push to curb the president's ability to launch a unilateral strike earlier in the week by rolling out his measure to require congressional authorization or a formal declaration of war before action can be taken. However, only a few of his colleagues have backed his effort publicly, with leadership keeping their options open. 'Senate Democrats, if necessary, will not hesitate to assert our prerogatives and our ability on this bill,' Schumer said. Republicans broadly believe that Trump has the authority to order a strike on Iran if he so chooses. The line they do not want to see crossed is the putting of troops on the ground in the region, and some of them do not see Trump taking that kind of step. 'We're not talking about American boots on the ground,' said Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas). 'That would be something different.'

Images of handcuffed Democrats start to pile up in Trump's crackdown
'This is executive authority, especially in the Department of Homeland Security, running out of control,' said Senator Tina Smith, Democrat of Minnesota. 'Do the members of Congress need security details to defend themselves from the executive branch? God, I hope not.' Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up The most recent instance came Tuesday, when Brad Lander, the New York City comptroller and a mayoral candidate, was arrested at an immigration courthouse in Manhattan as he tried to escort a migrant whom agents were seeking to arrest. Advertisement The Department of Homeland Security suggested that Lander, who has trailed in polls of the mayoral race, was seeking to 'undermine law enforcement safety to get a viral moment,' and said that he had assaulted law enforcement, claims he denied after his release later Tuesday. Certainly, plenty of politicians over the years have gotten themselves arrested in an effort to draw attention to themselves or their cause. Many elected Democrats have rushed to show how fiercely they are opposing Trump's administration, and have been rewarded for doing so by the party's base. Accusations of grandstanding flowed in quickly from Republicans on Tuesday. Advertisement 'Stop using this as a means of self promotion in an effort to make yourself relevant in advance of an election,' Representative Mike Lawler, Republican of New York, wrote on social media. But to many Democrats, the images of the suit-and-tie-clad Lander being manhandled showed a chilling turn in the country's politics. 'This is authoritarianism,' said Mark Levine, the Manhattan borough president who is running to succeed Lander as comptroller. 'The federal agents, masked, are detaining an American citizen, an elected official, who is exercising oversight over a process which is itself deeply troubling. This is a deliberate attempt at escalation by the Trump administration.' 'I'm worried about what comes next,' he added. Representative Hakeem Jeffries of New York, the Democratic House leader, was more explicit, saying in a statement that 'the aggressive targeting of Democratic elected officials by the Trump administration will invariably result in law-abiding public servants being marked for death by violent extremists.' Tricia McLaughlin, a spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security, suggested that law enforcement officers did not know or care about the political affiliations of those arrested. 'These politicians are trying to get their 15 minutes of fame and they are doing it on the backs and safety of law enforcement,' she said. Lander's arrest unfolded against a turbulent national backdrop. Many politicians are increasingly on edge about political violence and anything that might encourage it, after the assassination of a Minnesota lawmaker and her husband over the weekend. Advertisement At the same time, immigration politics have grown more volatile after Trump sent troops to Los Angeles, despite the objections of state and local authorities, to stamp out protests and help with raids rounding up migrants. In recent weeks, Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers have also aggressively sought to detain migrants at immigration courts, leading to emotional scenes as masked agents make surprise arrests of people who thought they were attending routine hearings. Last week, Senator Alex Padilla, Democrat of California, was forcibly removed from a news conference being held by Kristi Noem, the homeland security secretary, and handcuffed despite identifying himself as a senator. The use of force shattered traditional norms of showing deference to lawmakers. 'Like me, Mr. Lander had the audacity to question the legitimacy of federal actions, only to find himself handcuffed, pushed against a wall and detained,' Padilla said in a statement. 'If it happened to us in full view of the public, imagine what is happening in communities across the country when the cameras are off. This should be a wake-up call to the country.' Earlier this year, FBI agents arrested a Milwaukee judge on charges that she had shielded an immigrant in the country illegally from federal agents. And last month, federal agents arrested Ras J. Baraka, the mayor of Newark, New Jersey, and later charged Representative LaMonica McIver, Democrat of New Jersey, in connection with a clash outside an immigration detention center. Leading Democrats are at once outraged by the Trump administration's actions against immigrants — which have ensnared some US citizens — and keenly aware of how thorny the issues of immigration and law enforcement can be for their party. Advertisement They have stressed at every turn that protests must be peaceful, warning against playing into Trump's hands. But some Democrats think they are on firmer political ground when they frame their arguments around the need to uphold due process, casting themselves as the party of calm and order, and Republicans as the party of chaos and cruelty. Representative Lou Correa, Democrat of California, said in an interview last week that immigration should be discussed in economic terms. The lesson of the last election was, 'message it on bread-and-butter issues,' Correa said. 'This is not an immigration issue. This is an economic health issue of the state of California.'

Firms led by US military veterans deliver aid in Africa and Gaza, alarming humanitarian groups
In South Sudan and Gaza, two for-profit US companies led by American national security veterans are delivering aid in operations backed by the South Sudanese and Israeli governments. Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up The American contractors say they're putting their security, logistics, and intelligence skills to work in relief operations. Fogbow, the US company that carried out last week's air drops over South Sudan, says it aims to be a 'humanitarian' force. Advertisement 'We've worked for careers, collectively, in conflict zones. And we know how to essentially make very difficult situations work,' said Fogbow president Michael Mulroy, a retired CIA officer and former senior defense official in the first Trump administration, speaking on the airport tarmac in Juba, South Sudan's capital. But the UN and many leading nonprofit groups say US contracting firms are stepping into aid distribution with little transparency or humanitarian experience, and, crucially, without commitment to humanitarian principles of neutrality and operational independence in war zones. Advertisement 'What we've learned over the years of successes and failures is there's a difference between a logistics operation and a security operation, and a humanitarian operation,' said Scott Paul, a director at Oxfam America. ''Truck and chuck' doesn't help people,' Paul said. 'It puts people at risk.' Fogbow took journalists up in a cargo plane to watch their team drop 16 tons of beans, co,rn and salt for South Sudan's Upper Nile state town of Nasir. Residents fled homes there after fighting erupted in March between the government and opposition groups. Mulroy acknowledged the controversy over Fogbow's aid drops, which he said were paid for by the South Sudanese government. But, he maintained: 'We don't want to replace any entity' in aid work. Fogbow was in the spotlight last year for its proposal to Since then, Fogbow has carried out aid drops Fogbow says ex-humanitarian officials are also involved, including former UN World Food Program head David Beasley, who is a senior adviser. Operating in Gaza, meanwhile, Safe Reach Solutions, led by a former CIA officer and other retired US security officers, has partnered with the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, a US-backed nonprofit that Israel says is the linchpin of a new aid system to Advertisement Starting in late May, the American-led operation in Gaza has distributed food at fixed sites in southern Gaza, in line with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's stated plan to use aid to concentrate the territory's more than 2 million people in the south, freeing Israel to fight Hamas elsewhere. Aid workers fear it's a step toward another of Netanyahu's public goals, removing Palestinians from Gaza in 'voluntary' migrations. Since then, several hundred Palestinians have been killed and hundreds more wounded The Israeli military has denied firing on civilians. It says it fired warning shots in several instances, and fired directly at a few 'suspects' who ignored warnings and approached its forces. It's unclear who is funding the new operation in Gaza. No donor has come forward, and the US says it's not funding it. In response to criticism over its Gaza aid deliveries, Safe Reach Solutions said it has former aid workers on its team with 'decades of experience in the world's most complex environments' who bring 'expertise to the table, along with logisticians and other experts.' Last week's air drop over South Sudan went without incident, despite fighting nearby. A white cross marked the drop zone. Only a few people could be seen. Fogbow contractors said there were more newly returned townspeople on previous drops. Fogbow acknowledges glitches in mastering aid drops, including one last year in Sudan's South Kordofan region that ended up with too-thinly-wrapped grain sacks split open on the ground. Advertisement After gaining independence from Sudan in 2011, South Sudan has South Sudan said it engaged Fogbow for air drops partly because of the But two South Sudanese groups question the government's motives. 'We don't want to see a humanitarian space being abused by military actors ... under the cover of a food drop,' said Edmund Yakani, head of the Community Empowerment for Progress Organization, a local civil society group. Asked about suspicions the aid drops were helping South Sudan's military aims, Fogbow's Mulroy said the group has worked with the UN World Food Program to make sure 'this aid is going to civilians.' 'If it wasn't going to civilians, we would hope that we would get that feedback, and we would cease and desist,' Mulroy said. In a statement, WFP country director Mary-Ellen McGroarty said: 'WFP is not involved in the planning, targeting or distribution of food air-dropped' by Fogbow on behalf of South Sudan's government, citing humanitarian principles. Longtime humanitarian leaders and analysts are troubled by what they see as a teaming up of warring governments and for-profit contractors in aid distribution. When one side in a conflict decides where and how aid is handed out, and who gets it, 'it will always result in some communities getting preferential treatment,' said Jan Egeland, executive director of the Norwegian Refugee Council.
