courts are courting today

Trump admin seems to be grappling with how to handle the undocumented workforce. Rep. Newhouse, who is a farmer, applauded Trump comments on providing options for farmers/hospitality to keep their workers. Sec. Noem said that the best option for people is to self deport.

NOW: Approps subcommittee is getting a visit from Sec. Kristi Noem who will testify on the Homeland Security budget. Lawmakers will also likely take this as an opportunity to discuss DHS’s actions over the past five months including immigration, staffing and more

NEW: DHS is offering $1000 to those who use the CBP Home App to "self-deport." They say that this is an effort to reduce the cost of deportation. DHS says the average cost to arrest, detain, and remove is $17,121. I think this is the first holistic price tag they've given.

Jockeys will mount their horses today for the Kentucky Derby -- and in the big race a tale of immigration is prominent. Nationally, most jockeys come on athlete visas from Central, South America and Europe. But some stories are more complicated. https://t.co/9bCXAN62bp

ICYMI NPR first reported that at least 8 more immigration judges were fired as they hit their two year mark. This morning the administration outed large arrest numbers and efforts. But experts warn without judges, arrests could get bottlenecked in court. https://t.co/wjCTWc6FgD
