Dozens of people rallied outside the Missouri State Capitol in Jefferson City on Sunday to protest ICE enforcement actions, organized by a group called "ICE Out Missouri." The event featured speakers including Robert Olson, a friend of Owen Ramsingh, a long-time Columbia resident and green card holder who was deported to the Netherlands in early February after being detained at Chicago O'Hare Airport in September 2025 following a routine family visit. U.S. Department of Homeland Security officials cited two past drug charges as the basis for Ramsingh's detainment. Organizers said additional protest events are planned, though no specific dates or locations have been announced.

Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old ICU nurse and U.S. citizen, was fatally shot by a Border Patrol agent in Minneapolis in January during protests against ICE enforcement operations. His mother, Susan Pretti, marked what would have been his 38th birthday on Sunday with an emotional tribute on Instagram, expressing her grief over the loss of her son. DHS claimed Pretti was armed and violently resisted agents, but video footage appeared to contradict the agency's account, showing him holding only a phone before being shot. A federal judge issued a temporary restraining order preventing the Trump administration from destroying or altering evidence related to his death.
At least 54 people were arrested Sunday during an anti-ICE protest outside the Bishop Henry Whipple Federal Building in Minneapolis, with 38 cited and released and others booked or arrested by the Minnesota State Patrol. The Hennepin County Sheriff's Office issued dispersal orders after protesters allegedly blocked roads and business access, scattered glass in the street, and threw rocks, ice chunks, and water bottles at law enforcement. The demonstration was the culmination of a weeklong campaign called "Bring the Heat, Melt the ICE," organized by activists calling for the abolition of ICE and the Department of Homeland Security. Officials stated that while peaceful protest is a constitutional right, unlawful and assaultive behavior would not be tolerated.

The demonstration follows a series of fatal shootings involving federal immigration agents in Minneapolis and ongoing anti-ICE activity across the country.
Dozens of people gathered at the Asheville Chamber of Commerce for a peaceful protest against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, organized by the Singing Resistance movement, which uses music to show solidarity with those potentially affected by ICE. The grassroots movement was sparked by the fatal shooting of 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis and has since spread nationwide, with groups forming in cities including Asheville and Hendersonville, North Carolina.
Federal judges across the United States are reporting a dramatic surge in violent threats following President Trump's public attacks on judges who rule against his administration, with serious threats against federal judges rising 78% over four years to affect 400 judges in 2024 alone. CBS News spoke with 26 federal judges — both Democratic and Republican appointees — who described death threats, bomb scares, swatting incidents, and an organized campaign of unsolicited pizza deliveries designed to signal that their home addresses are known. Judge Esther Salas, whose son was murdered in a 2020 attack at her home, and retired Judge John Jones are among those warning that the inflammatory rhetoric from national leaders is emboldening threats and risks getting a judge killed. The White House defended Trump, citing his own experience as an assassination target and accusing the judiciary of issuing unlawful rulings, while Attorney General Pam Bondi and Deputy AG Todd Blanche declined interview requests.
Senator Tim Kaine and Representative Thomas Massie are pushing for a war powers resolution to limit President Trump's military authority following U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran under Operation Epic Fury. Legal analyst Jonathan Turley argues that drafting such a resolution has become nearly impossible now that Iran is actively retaliating with missile strikes and has closed the Strait of Hormuz, as the War Powers Act permits presidential use of force in response to attacks on U.S. forces. Turley contends that any resolution limiting the president's options mid-conflict would either be practically meaningless or dangerously constrain military operations. He also notes the political inconsistency of Democrats who remained silent when Presidents Obama and Biden exercised similar unilateral military authority.
Three U.S. service members were killed during "Operation Epic Fury," a military operation against Iran, prompting a wave of social media responses from Trump allies including UN Ambassador Mike Waltz, influencer Laura Loomer, billionaire Bill Ackman, and Sen. Lindsey Graham. Several of these responses drew significant public backlash, with critics accusing the figures of being callous, performative, or using the deaths to advocate for further military escalation. Former Trump ally Marjorie Taylor Greene publicly attacked Laura Loomer, accusing her of "celebrating" the deaths and blaming her influence on Trump for the conflict. None of the civilian figures who commented — Waltz, Loomer, Ackman — have served in the military.
On Steve Bannon's War Room program, guest Curt Mills of The American Conservative sharply criticized President Trump's joint strikes with Israel against Iran, calling it "an open betrayal of the base" given Trump's repeated campaign promises to end rather than start wars. Mills expressed uncertainty about American public appetite for casualties and suggested Israel may seek to escalate the conflict to maintain U.S. involvement. The strikes drew broader criticism from within MAGA circles, including from Fox News host Tucker Carlson, congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna, and former ally Marjorie Taylor Greene. Trump has defended the strikes as necessary for national security and vowed to continue the campaign "as long as necessary."
Federal judges across multiple districts are increasingly threatening contempt proceedings against ICE for systematic violations of court orders, with Minnesota Chief Judge Patrick Shiltz documenting over 200 violated orders across dozens of cases and warning that "one way or another, ICE will comply." A Politico tally recorded 393 judicial rulings against the Trump administration in immigration detention cases compared to only 33 in its favor, with judges from both parties describing ICE operations as unconstitutional. Meanwhile, Republican senators including Louisiana's John Kennedy are publicly pressuring Attorney General Pam Bondi to release withheld Epstein files, with Senate Democrats pledging procedural tactics to force disclosure. The article also raises the U.S. bombing of Iran, suggesting the author views it partly as a political distraction from these domestic legal and political pressures.
