The Trump administration was temporarily blocked Monday by a judge who rejected the Department of Homeland Security's move to limit Democratic lawmakers' access to immigrant detention facilities and stop unannounced visits.

Thirteen members of the House of Representatives had presented a lawsuit to challenge Trump's DHS and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement after they were told that they needed to provide a minimum of seven days before visiting an ICE detainment center and seeing citizens and non-citizens at the locations, The Hill reported.

U.S. District Judge Jia Cobb, a President Joe Biden appointee, sided with the lawmakers — now the second time she has sided with a group of Democratic lawmakers. ...

President Donald Trump admitted for the first time Tuesday that he has concerns over the public perception of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Trump, who gave a marathon speech at the White House press briefing room to mark the first anniversary of his inauguration, seemed to signal he was troubled after ICE agent Jonathan Ross shot dead 37-year-old mother Renee Good in her car earlier this month in Minneapolis, sparking outrage and protest throughout the Twin Cities as ICE continues its aggressive operations. Trump spent much of his time at the podium talking about immigration and sharing a slideshow of placards of alleged suspects wanted by ICE.

David Chalian, CNN Washington bureau chief, revealed on a panel with CNN anchor Jake Tapper why this was a significant moment and reaction to hear from the president. ...

Conservative commentator Jonah Goldberg had a sharp response Monday to White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller's unfounded claims that local and state police should "stand down" and "surrender" to ICE agents.

Goldberg was on a CNN panel responding to Miller's comments on X that alleged police in Minneapolis — where ICE agent Jonathan Ross shot and killed mother Renee Good in her car this month — have allowed protesters to do whatever they want.

"First of all, on the Stephen Miller thing, I've read the Constitution a couple of times. Nowhere in there does it say that the White House deputy chief of staff can order local law enforcement in a sovereign state to do — I almost cursed — anything, and it's all not like maybe I missed some reporting that there has been some order or request made from federal authorities," Goldberg said. ...

Vice President JD Vance's statement about why ICE agent Jonathan Ross fired three fatal shots, killing mother-of-three Renee Good in Minneapolis, was "utterly ignorant" and could be problematic, a legal analyst said Thursday.

Former federal prosecutor Shanlon Wu described why the agent's "objectively reasonable" argument might not hold up after Vance's comments in the wake of Good's killing and his argument that Ross had survived getting dragged by a vehicle — something he testified to and was widely reported.

"Vance is kind of clumsily flagging for everybody that this might make it a bad shooting because the guy's not actually reacting to what's in front of him but reacting to something that happened in the past," Wu explained. "Being a little sensitive is not the legal standard here at all."

The internet responded with outrage after a woman who was reportedly trying to drive to a doctor's appointment was pulled out of her vehicle by ICE agents and dragged into custody during a disturbing incident captured on video Tuesday in Minneapolis.

The woman, whose name was not immediately known, was driving near the area of 34th and Park streets while protesters and ICE agents were clashing in the street during an immigration raid following the killing of Renee Nicole Good by ICE agent Jonathan Ross last week.

She was attempting to drive out of the area when officers grabbed her and pulled her out of the window of her sedan. She yelled out "Get the f--- out of my car. I've been picked up by police before. I'm disabled, I'm trying to go to the doctor up there, that's why I didn't move."...

Chipotle had a harsh response to the hedge fund manager and billionaire Trump donor who donated $10,000 to the fundraiser for ICE agent Jonathan Ross, who gunned down 37-year-old mother Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis last week.

The company released a statement in the wake of the donation from Bill Ackman after calls to boycott the company swirled online, Newsweek reported.

“Bill Ackman is not affiliated with Chipotle," the company wrote on Threads Monday. ...
