On Thursday, The Daily Beast published a report about a new survey of 2024 Latino Trump voters conducted by Third Way and UnidosUS, which found "that more than a third of Latino Trump voters say they now regret voting for him." "Latino voters were central to Trump's win in 2024, with 43 percent of the demographic voting for him, up from 35 percent in 2020," The Daily Beast explained. "But polls now suggest Trump is losing that support. Two-thirds of Latino voters who responded to the latest poll said they disapprove of Trump's handling of both immigration and the economy." Leadership from Third Way remarked that the results do not just show a minor or standard loss of support, but a complete collapse of Trump's 2024 Latino cohort.
The Trump administration has reportedly canceled an $11 million contract with the Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Miami, which offers shelter and care to migrant children entering the United States alone. The Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR), part of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), has paid Catholic Charities for numerous years to house immigrant children entering the U.S. without adult supervision. The federal government contacted the charity about the cancellation in late March, according to The Miami Herald. The abrupt severing of the White House's long-term support to the nonprofit comes amid an ongoing feud between President Donald Trump and Pope Leo XIV.

Pete Hegseth cited a prayer largely invented by Quentin Tarantino for the movie Pulp Fiction to praise a rescue mission during the Iran war. The defense secretary was speaking at a worship service at the Pentagon on Wednesday when he began echoing the "great vengeance and furious anger" monologue delivered by Samuel L. Jackson's hitman character. During the religious event, Hegseth led a prayer that he said was delivered to him by the lead mission planner of the rescue operation for two Air Force crew members shot down in Iran. Hegseth said the prayer had been recited for the rescue team ahead of the operation and was entitled "CSAR 2517," or "Combat Search and Rescue 2517," which he said, "I think is meant to reflect Ezekiel 25:17."
