📰 House Republicans warn anti-ICE rhetoric from Democrats is driving violent attacks on agents
President Trump’s tough stance on illegal immigration and deportation has led to protests against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) across the US.

DHS Secretary Kristi Noem blamed Democrats’ sanctuary city policies for the shooting of a CBP officer in New York. A second illegal immigrant has been apprehended in connection to the shooting.

They emphasize the importance of supporting ICE and CBP agents in deporting criminal immigrants and combating gang and cartel influence.
📰 Trump pulls US out of UN agency over its backing of ‘woke’ social causes
The Trump administration announced the United States’ exit from UNESCO, citing concerns about the organization’s support for divisive cultural and social causes that do not align with American policies.

📰 Federal judge slaps temporary restraining order on Mississippi DEI ban
A federal judge issued a temporary restraining order against a Mississippi law banning diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) from public schools and universities.

The law prohibits DEI offices, programs, trainings, and statements, as well as certain academic concepts and ideologies.

The judge has scheduled a hearing to consider extending the temporary restraining order and plaintiffs are seeking a preliminary injunction to permanently block the DEI ban.
