• A July 9 ICE memo from acting Director Todd Lyons lets ICE deport non-citizens to third countries where they have no ties and without credible guarantees against torture or persecution.

• In “exigent circumstances,” removals can occur in as little as six hours.

• Under normal procedures, ICE must:

• • Provide a 24-hour removal notice in the individual’s language.
  • Specify the intended third country.
  • Wait at least one day before deportation.

• If a destination country provides “credible” diplomatic assurances against torture, ICE may bypass all other safeguards.

• Critics say the policy violates statutory and constitutional protections, relies on secret assurances, and leaves migrants too little time to find counsel.

• The administration claims it has negotiated multiple “safe third country” agreements to speed up removals of criminal aliens.

• A joint DOJ–FBI memo reaffirmed that no “client list” of high-profile individuals existed and found no evidence Epstein blackmailed anyone.
• MAGA hardliners (e.g., Alex Jones) and some Trump allies lash out at AG Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel, demanding disclosures.
• President Trump urged supporters to stop attacking his team over “Epstein Files,” calling Epstein “somebody nobody cares about” and insisting his administration is “PERFECT.”
• Internal friction reportedly flared between Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino (who threatened to quit) and Bondi, though Trump insists DOJ/FBI are united.
• Trump wants the FBI to refocus on his unproven 2020 election–fraud claims rather than “the same old…documents on Jeffrey Epstein.”

FBI Director Kash Patel denies rumors of his resignation over frustration with the DOJ’s decision to close the Epstein investigation. The DOJ and FBI concluded there was no incriminating client list, no blackmail evidence, and no basis to reopen the case, despite pressure from MAGA hardliners like Marjorie Taylor Greene and Steve Bannon.

Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino is reportedly furious over the decision and may resign after a clash with AG Pam Bondi, though DOJ leadership insists there’s full agreement on the memo. Trump, frustrated with Epstein-related questions, dismissed ongoing interest in the case as absurd.

The FBI-DOJ memo confirmed possession of vast evidence, including child abuse material, but no proof of high-profile blackmail schemes. Conspiracy theories persist among MAGA figures despite lack of evidence.
