Travel ban to 12 countries starts Monday at midnight | What to expect
SUMMARY: President Trump’s travel ban on 12 mainly African and Middle Eastern countries takes effect tonight at midnight. The banned countries include Afghanistan, Myanmar, Chad, Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen. This full restriction was prompted by a recent attack in Boulder, Colorado, involving an Egyptian national and aims to improve vetting processes. Additionally, seven countries face partial restrictions due to poor vetting or intelligence sharing: Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan, Venezuela, and Burundi. The ban resembles previous 2017 executive orders and is expected to face legal challenges.

Trump deploys National Guard after Los Angeles immigration protests
SUMMARY: Protests erupted in Los Angeles for a second day following immigration raids criticized by local leaders. Angry crowds clashed with law enforcement, blocking buses and prompting Border Patrol agents in riot gear to deploy tear gas in Paramount. The FBI is seeking help identifying individuals throwing rocks. Similar protests occurred outside a federal courthouse in Manhattan, where migrants are reportedly being arrested post-dismissal of deportation cases. Critics claim immigration judges are pressured to deny asylum without due process. Meanwhile, the Department of Homeland Security warns against violence, citing a 413% rise in assaults on ICE agents, with arrests made. Secretary Noem vows strict prosecution for attacks on law enforcement.

ICE vowed to continue making arrests and enforce immigration laws.
