WASHINGTON —

"FEMA is getting in the way of everything," Trump said in an interview with Fox News Channel's Sean Hannity. "All it does is complicate everything. FEMA has not done their job for the last four years. I'd rather see the states take care of their own problems."

Meanwhile in Washington, confirmation hearings for Trump's administration's nominees are well underway. On Thursday, CIA Director John Ratcliffe received Senate approval, setting up a vote Friday night for Defense Secretary nominee Pete Hegseth.

At least two Republicans, Sen. Susan Collins of Maine and Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, are joining all Democrats in voicing opposition to Hegseth's confirmation. The objections are unlikely to sink his confirmation in the Republican-controlled Senate, where they hold 53 seats.

But more vetting is raising concerns over Hegseth's alleged alcohol use and revelation Thursday of a $50,000 payment to a woman who accused him of sexual assault.

"Is this man, with a mile-long list of allegations of abusing, degrading, and harassing women, who you want to be leading our men and women?" Minority Leader Chuck Schumer questioned on the Senate floor Thursday.

On the immigration front, Trump's policies are gaining both traction and roadblocks. A Reagan-appointed judge temporarily blocked Trump's executive action denying birthright citizenship, calling the order Trump signed "blatantly unconstitutional."

"I guess there's no surprises with that judge," Trump said in response to the ruling Thursday.

Meanwhile, 1,500 troops are arriving at the border in California and Texas, putting into place Trump's plans to detain and deport thousands of undocumented immigrants and put up border barriers.

Trump signed more executive orders Thursday. One asks his administration to devise a plan to make thousands of un-redacted documents public over the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, his brother Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, and Reverend Martin Luther King Jr.

Other orders attempt to put the U.S. at the forefront of the artificial intelligence industry, create a working group on building up cryptocurrency, establish a presidential council on science and technology, and recognize the Lumbee Tribe in North Carolina.

Vice President JD Vance will address the annual March for Life anti-abortion rights rally Friday in Washington. Trump will deliver a video message. Trump has disappointed anti-abortion supporters as he backs state-determined abortion laws.

The President of SBA Pro-Life America said on Thursday, "This pro-life president has gone nowhere."

Trump will rally supporters on Saturday in Nevada.
