Overview
- U.S. District Judge Katherine Menendez denied Minnesota’s request for a temporary restraining order, citing appellate limits on earlier curbs even as she noted serious harms alleged by the state.
- President Donald Trump instructed Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem not to deploy agents into protests in Democrat-led cities unless local officials ask for help, while directing ICE and Border Patrol to protect federal property forcefully.
- The Justice Department said the FBI has opened a civil-rights investigation into the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti by a Border Patrol agent in Minneapolis.
- Immigrant-rights groups sued to block a new ICE policy that authorizes agents to enter homes to arrest deportation targets using administrative warrants that lack a judge’s signature.
- The White House replaced on-the-ground leadership with Tom Homan, who promised narrower, by-the-book targeting and linked any reduction of forces to local cooperation, as large protests and a coordinated national “no work, no school, no shopping” action continued.
