Dodgers player claims Los Angeles being 'abused and ripped apart' amid immigration raids
Los Angeles Dodgers player Enrique Hernandez claimed in a social media post over the weekend that the community was "being violated, profiled, abused and ripped apart" amid an illegal immigration crackdown in the city and in parts of the county. The two-time World Series champion expressed his feelings about U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE's) raids over the last week that led to hundreds of arrests and sparked riots in parts of Los Angeles. Hernandez made no mention of the violence that took place against law enforcement officers. "I may not be Born & Raised, but this city adopted me as one of their own," he wrote on Instagram. "I am saddened and infuriated by what's happening in our country and our city. Los Angeles and Dodger fans have welcomed me, supported me and shown me nothing but kindness and love. "This is my second home. And I cannot stand to see our community being violated, profiled, abused and ripped apart. ALL people deserve to be treated with respect, dignity and human rights." The anti-immigration enforcement protests began on June 7 and on June 8 the protests turned violent. Agitators sprayed walls and vehicles with the words "F--- ICE," autonomous vehicles were set on fire, and law enforcement officers were pelted with rocks and other objects in the Paramount neighborhood. Later in the week, stores in downtown Los Angeles were looted. President Donald Trump immediately deployed the National Guard to the area where the issues began, garnering criticism from Democrats insisting their presence would only escalate tensions. ICE has organized several high-profile raids across the country as part of the president's campaign promise to deliver mass deportations. Trump promised to prioritize criminal illegal immigrants, but critics allege the administration is separating families and targeting non-criminal workers. Trump has since doubled down on his support of ICE in Los Angeles and called on ICE officers to expand their efforts to other cities.

Trump orders ICE officers to expand deportation efforts in Democratic cities
President Donald Trump called for Immigration and Customs Enforcement to expand deportation efforts in Democratic cities and 'do all in their power' to achieve mass deportations in a social media post Sunday. 'ICE Officers are herewith ordered, by notice of this TRUTH, to do all in their power to achieve the very important goal of delivering the single largest Mass Deportation Program in History,' the president posted on Truth Social as he traveled on Air Force One to Canada for the G7 summit. The president's post comes as CNN has reported that ICE has been racing to meet White House arrest quotas and on the heels of Trump acknowledging that his immigration policies have impacted farm workers and those in the hospitality industry. The White House has enlisted components across the federal government to achieve its goal of 3,000 immigration-related arrests per day. But while the Trump administration has publicly touted its enforcement efforts, officials have privately faced criticism for failing to meet that quota, according to multiple sources familiar with the discussions. The president also directed ICE to 'expand efforts' in 'the Democrat Power Center' while claiming without evidence that his political opponents are using 'Illegal Aliens' to 'cheat in Elections, and grow the Welfare State.' 'We must expand efforts to detain and deport Illegal Aliens in America's largest Cities, such as Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York, where Millions upon Millions of Illegal Aliens reside,' Trump said. The administration's immigration crackdown sparked protests in Los Angeles earlier this month, which prompted the president to mobilize both National Guard troops and Marines to deal with demonstrations over federal raids in the city. Protests have expanded across the country, culminating in hundreds of thousands of anti-Trump protesters taking to the streets in 'No Kings' protests nationwide over the weekend. Since Trump took office, ICE, which had previously been operating with a set of guidelines focused on public safety and national security threats, has had to pivot as the key agency at the core of the president's campaign promise to carry out mass deportations. Recent arrests have taken place during routine immigration checks, and at immigration court and worksites. Immigration-enforcement operations have created a chilling effect on some industries heavily reliant on immigrant workforces, including farms and hotels, and as ICE races to fulfill Trump's goal to increase deportations. The president appeared to acknowledge Thursday that his immigration policies are straining those sectors. 'Our great Farmers and people in the Hotel and Leisure business have been stating that our very aggressive policy on immigration is taking very good, long time workers away from them, with those jobs being almost impossible to replace,' Trump said on Truth Social. 'We must protect our Farmers, but get the CRIMINALS OUT OF THE USA. Changes are coming!' CNN's Priscilla Alvarez and Michael Williams contributed to this post.

Minnesota lawmaker shooting suspect had cache of weapons, hit list in vehicle, court documents show
Vance Boelter, the suspect charged with killing a Minnesota state lawmaker and her husband and wounding a second lawmaker and his wife, had an arsenal of weapons and a hit list in his vehicle, according to court documents. Boelter, 57, allegedly posed as a police officer and drove a Ford SUV, registered in his name, equipped with police lights to carry out the shootings of Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, early Saturday morning at their Brooklyn Park home in Minneapolis after allegedly shooting State Sen. John Hoffman, also a Democrat, and his wife, Yvette, in their nearby Champlin home in a related attack. Boelter left the fake police vehicle at the crime scene in Brooklyn Park after exchanging gunfire with police and escaping, a criminal complaint issued by the Hennepin County District Court said. Inside the vehicle, police recovered a disturbing cache of weapons, including at least three AK-47 assault rifles and a 9mm handgun, along with a manifesto that listed the names and addresses of other public officials. About 70 names were found in the manifesto, according to two law enforcement officials who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity. Officials said the list also included the names of abortion rights advocates and information about healthcare facilities. Former congressman Dean Phillips claimed in a post on X that his name was on the list found in Boelter's car. "As someone whose name was on his list, I extend heartfelt gratitude to Minnesota's law enforcement professionals," Phillips wrote. "Now, we must take steps to prevent political violence before it's too late." Boelter was captured Sunday night following a two-day manhunt that officials called the largest in the state's history. Authorities did not give a motive as they announced Boelter's arrest. The Hennepin County District Court issued a criminal complaint charging Boelter with four felony counts of second-degree murder with intent (not premeditated). All charges are felonies, and each carries a maximum sentence of 40 years in prison, with a mandatory minimum of three years due to the use of a firearm.
