Overview

• Attorney General Pam Bondi announced the deployment of Justice Department agents to ICE sites and labeled recent attacks and obstruction as domestic terrorism.
• Bondi directed FBI, DEA, ATF, and the U.S. Marshals Service, working with DHS, to accelerate efforts to locate, detain, prosecute, and remove undocumented immigrants while seeking the most serious charges for obstruction.
• DHS removed the officer seen pushing an Ecuadorian woman to the floor inside a New York courthouse and opened an internal investigation into the incident.
• FBI Director Kash Patel said initial evidence from the Dallas attack, including unused rounds labeled “ANTI-ICE,” indicates an ideological motive, and the shooter was found dead of a self-inflicted wound.
• Protests and high-visibility ICE operations continued in major cities, including tear gas dispersal outside a Chicago detention center and the arrest of an Iowa school district superintendent alleged to be in the country illegally.
