President Trump pushes ICE to focus on major cities
SUMMARY: President Trump announced that ICE will intensify arrests and deportations in major cities such as Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York, aiming for the largest mass deportation program in history. This follows nationwide protests, including in Atlanta and New York, against his immigration policies during the “No Kings” rallies. ICE’s daily arrest target has increased from 650 to 3,000. New York City Mayor Adams supports these efforts, highlighting that 79% of Democrats agree undocumented individuals who commit crimes should be deported after serving time. Trump also paused planned raids on hotels, restaurants, and farms to avoid economic disruption.
President Donald Trump on Sunday said ICE must “expand efforts to detain and deport” illegal immigrants in “America’s largest cities,” including Los Angeles, Chicago and New York

Minnesota suspect hit with federal murder, stalking charges
SUMMARY: Federal prosecutors charged Vance Boelter, 57, with murder and stalking after he allegedly shot and killed former Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, and wounded state Sen. John Hoffman and his wife. Authorities say Boelter visited other officials’ homes and left behind notebooks listing over 45 targets. Found in his abandoned SUV were five guns and ammo; a Beretta handgun and facemask were recovered nearby. He texted his family about going “to war” before being arrested Sunday. Prosecutors may pursue the death penalty. Officials described the attack as a calculated assault on public servants and a “nightmare.”
