1. Anti-ICE activists help migrant child rapist escape arrest in Colorado: officials
Anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) activists in Denver, Colorado, helped an illegal migrant escape arrest by alerting him to ICE agents’ presence. The migrant, Jose Reyes Leon-Deras, is wanted in Italy for child rape and was convicted in Italy. The local anti-ICE group, Colorado Rapid Response, posted on social media about ICE’s presence, allowing Leon-Deras to flee. ICE criticized the group for interfering with their efforts to keep communities safe. Denver Mayor Mike Johnston vowed to block ICE agents from carrying out deportations, and the city has spent over $356 million on services for migrants, with an ordinance limiting cooperation with ICE. Anti-ICE protests have increased since President Trump’s return to office, with incidents of activists trying to block ICE facilities and engaging in violent acts like setting fires and throwing rocks at law enforcement. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem stated that 75% of illegal aliens arrested under the Trump administration have been charged with or convicted of a crime.

3. Federal judge asks if National Guard deployment in Los Angeles violates Posse Comitatus Act
A federal judge is questioning whether the Trump administration’s deployment of troops in Los Angeles violates the Posse Comitatus Act, which restricts military involvement in civilian law enforcement on U.S. soil. California challenged Trump’s deployment of troops in response to anti-ICE protests, leading to a court hearing in San Francisco. The 9th Circuit appellate panel allowed Trump to maintain control of National Guard troops sent to address riots, despite concerns about violating the Posse Comitatus Act. U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer requested briefings from both sides to determine if the federal department breached the Act. California Governor Gavin Newsom accused the administration of potentially violating the Act, but Breyer postponed addressing this claim. Vice President JD Vance supported Trump’s decision to deploy troops, emphasizing the need to uphold law and order. The National Guard has assisted federal agents during immigration raids amid anti-ICE demonstrations, with Marines detaining a civilian, marking a rare occurrence. Breyer previously ruled that Trump acted unlawfully by deploying troops against Newsom’s objections, but the appellate court’s decision suspended this ruling. California seeks to regain control of troops in Los Angeles, arguing that their presence has exacerbated tensions and wasted resources. Breyer highlighted that Trump’s authority to control state National Guard troops is limited to times of rebellion or imminent danger, which he believes does not apply to the current situation in Los Angeles.
