Trump 2nd term: ICE arrests 956 undocumented immigrants on Sunday

The Coast Guard said it's helping transport migrants who are in the country illegally and who are in locations where there aren't Defense Department assets.

In a Saturday news release, the Coast Guard said it is conducting flights between Texas and California to get migrants to DOD bases to be removed from the country.

"Border czar" Tom Homan said the Trump administration is planning to use military aircraft every day to help carry out large-scale deportations.

For the first time ever, the U.S. government is using military aircraft to transport migrants out of the U.S., Homan said.

Trump spoke to a crowd at the Circa Resort & Casino in Las Vegas to tout his "no tax on tips" proposal and other economic policies.

The president spent the early parts of the rally repeating his claims from the campaign trail and on inauguration day that the U.S. was in decline and prices were too high.

He also boasted many of his executive orders including having the U.S. leave the Paris Climate Agreement.

"Wasn't the environment supposed to eat us up like in 12 years? But that was like 13 years ago. What happened? We're still here," said Trump, who spent Friday visiting areas of North Carolina and California ravaged by recent natural disasters.

Just days after Trump commuted his 18-year sentence for his role in the Jan. 6 riot, Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes was on stage for Trump's Saturday speech at a Las Vegas casino.

Rhodes, who was convicted of seditious conspiracy for helping to organize the riot, has VIP seating on the stage where Trump is about to take the stage to promote his "no tax on tips" proposal.

Several Trump supporters at this event told ABC News they believe Trump has been carrying out his campaign promises, pointing out that he pardoned the Jan. 6 rioters.

South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem, the firebrand who gained a national spotlight during the coronavirus pandemic, was confirmed by the Senate on Saturday.

The vote was 59-34.

During her confirmation hearing, Noem said the southern border is "not secure" and that she will help to fix it.

"President Trump needs to achieve this mission because two-thirds of Americans support his immigration and border policies, including the majority of Hispanic Americans," Noem said in her opening statement. "I was the first governor to send National Guard troops to our southern border when Texas asked for help and when they were being overwhelmed by an unprecedented border crisis. If confirmed as secretary, I'll ensure that our exceptional, extraordinary Border Patrol agents have all the tools and resources and support that they need to carry out their mission."

The Department of Homeland Security already shut down the CBP One app, which allowed migrants to make appointments at the border to claim asylum -- something Noem promised the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee she'd do.

Noem will oversee 22 agencies with more than 260,000 employees who work on issues ranging from the border to federal disaster management to the Secret Service.

"As secretary, I will oversee the Secret Service, an agency that is in serious need of reforms. We all saw the threats to President-elect Trump last year and the consequences of failure," Noem said. "Now, that should never happen again, and I've worked closely with my own gubernatorial protective detail, and I'm familiar with what works and what doesn't work, and I'll bring that experience towards strengthening the Secret Service."

The incoming secretary said she will follow the law and implement reforms with no political bias, including with regard to disaster relief.

She added that "if given the chance to be secretary of homeland security, that I will deliver the programs according to the law and that it will be done with no political bias."
