At this hour, the status of DHS Secy Nielsen is unclear. A senior admin. official tells me that she had a 5 PM meeting at the WH with POTUS where she was planning to discuss with him the immigration and border issues and a path forward — she had no intention of resigning...
2/ ...according to the source, but rather was going there with an agenda.

But the source said, it is believed within the administration that President Trump will be pushing for personnel changes and there are others afoot beyond the ICE director nominee who was pulled Friday...
3/ The source notes President Trump‘s frustration with the current asylum laws, and his desire for individuals who work for the administration to block central American asylum seekers from entering the United States —- contrary to the laws on the books that allow their entry.

There's a real divide among government officials about whether the border fence the president is visiting today is what it says on the plaque bolted to it: the "first section of President Trump's border wall."

Here's what I've learned. 1/
2/ Yes, this replacement fence was planned by the US gov dating back to 2009. All of these barriers have been planned in some way. shape or form for at least a decade. But Trump is the one who pushed for funding and made it a priority, thus the funding was allocated in 2017...
3/ ...and with the design that the President approved. CBP officials give Trump credit for making the funding a priority to the degree previous presidents did not.

That said, it's not being paid for by Mexico,..

“The plaque, installed more than six months ago when the work was completed, refers to the 2.25-mile-long barrier as the the first section of President Trump's border wall.’...the project had been planned for years before Trump took office.”

The assistant chief patrol agent for Border Patrol's El Centro Sector “told the Desert Sun in February 2018 — as the project was starting — that the Border Patrol had identified this section as a priority for replacement in 2009, during President Obama's administration.”
After reading this story at AZ Central I did some reporting of my own, which you can check out in a thread that starts here --

Release the #Kavanaugh emails

JL:”Grassley, says they are producing the records required by law under the PRA
Durbin reminds him that they've actually circumvented that law & the process is being run by Kavanaugh's close friend & former employee, Bill Burck.”
⭐️LodeStar⭐️

Sen. Durbin:”Between 2001 and 2003, Republican Senate staffers hacked into and stole 4,670 files on controversial Bush judicial nominees from 6 Democrats, including me.

This scandal amounted to a digital Watergate, not unlike Russia’s hacking of the DNC.”

About an hour and a half after the NYT published an anonymous senior admin official trashing Trump, he's speaking at the White House to a gathering of sheriff's department officials from across the nation.
TRUMP says “we have someone” who is saying they're part of the resistance.
The anonymous admin official is probably somebody who's failing and is "here for all the wrong reasons," Trump says.
