DC park will close after all for WorldPride weekend
The National Park Service said Friday it would temporarily close the park at the center of Washington's historic LGBTQ neighborhood ahead of the city's annual Pride weekend, moving forward with plans that local officials believed had been scrapped. The temporary closure of Dupont Circle Park came at the request of the U.S. Park Police (USPP), the Park Service said in an order uploaded Friday to its website approving the installation of anti-scale fencing around the park's perimeter through 6 p.m. EDT Sunday. 'Less restrictive measures will not suffice due to the security-based assessment of the USPP that this park area needs to be kept clear,' the Park Service said. In a letter dated June 4, Park Police Maj. Frank Hilsher wrote to Kevin Griess, superintendent of National Mall and Memorial Parks, that the agency's closure request 'is based solely on several previous years of assaultive, destructive and disorderly behavior exhibited in Dupont Circle during the DC Pride weekend.' 'The USPP maintains that a physical barrier effecting a full closure of Dupont Circle is necessary,' Hilsher wrote, to 'secure the park, deter potential violence, reduce the risk of destructive acts and decrease the need for extensive law enforcement presences.' An earlier letter sent in April to Park Police Chief Jessica M.E. Taylor from Pamela A. Smith, chief of Washington's Metropolitan Police Department (MPD), recommended that tall no-climb fences be temporarily installed around the park. 'Over the years, Dupont Circle Park has been a popular location for Pride attendees to congregate, despite not being a sanctioned Pride event,' Smith wrote in the letter. 'In the past five years, the Metropolitan Police Department and the United States Park Police have taken proactive steps, including increased police presence and enhanced lighting around the park.' 'However, significant challenges persisted, including unpermitted large gathering with sound equipment, illegal vending and grilling, alcohol use, multiple physical altercation, and vandalism of the historic fountain and statue,' she added. Smith withdrew the MPD's request to temporarily close the park earlier this week 'after hearing from community leaders and residents,' she wrote in a June 3 letter to Taylor. In the same letter, Smith pointed to specific disruptions that influenced her initial request, including a 2019 arrest in Dupont Circle Park after parkgoers heard gunshots and vandalism during Pride weekend in 2023 that resulted in roughly $175,000 in damage to the park's more than 100-year-old fountain. The park's closure is another obstacle for those in charge of WorldPride, an international LGBTQ Pride celebration taking place this year in Washington. The Capital Pride Alliance, the organizers of WorldPride D.C., have hit several snags related to Trump administration policies that disproportionately affect LGBTQ people. DC hosts WorldPride: What to know about weekend bash In April, the group issued a travel advisory for transgender visitors from abroad, citing President Trump's executive order recognizing only two sexes, male and female, and a new State Department policy barring trans, nonbinary and intersex Americans from updating the sex designations on their passports. The same month, the Capital Pride Alliance announced it was moving WorldPride events from the Kennedy Center to 'ensure our entire LGBTQ+ community will be welcome' following Trump's takeover of the cultural institution in February. In posts on Truth Social, Trump said drag performances at the Kennedy Center 'will stop' under his leadership and called drag, an art form that is deeply rooted in LGBTQ culture and history, 'anti-American propaganda.' The White House has also declined to issue a proclamation for Pride Month. In an emailed statement, the Capital Pride Alliance said it 'is frustrated and disappointed in the National Park Service's decision – again – to close Dupont Circle during the culmination of WorldPride this weekend.' 'This beloved landmark is central to the community that WorldPride intends to celebrate and honor. It's much more than a park, for generations it's been a gathering place for DC's LGBTQ+ community, hosting first amendment assemblies and memorial services for those we lost to the AIDS epidemic and following tragic events like the Pulse nightclub shooting,' the group said. 'This sudden move was made overnight without consultation with the Capital Pride Alliance or other local officials.' No official WorldPride activities were planned in Dupont Circle Park, the Capital Pride Alliance said, 'thus no events will be impacted.' D.C. Councilmember Brooke Pinto (D-Ward 2), representing the Dupont Circle neighborhood, said she is 'extremely disappointed and frustrated' that the park will not remain open for Pride weekend. 'This closure is disheartening to me and so many in our community who wanted to celebrate World Pride at this iconic symbol of our city's historic LGBTQ+ community,' Pinto wrote Friday in a post on the social platform X. 'I wish I had better news to share.' 'World Pride will continue this weekend and it will be a time of celebration and commitment to uplift our LGBTQ+ neighbors,' she added.

Minneapolis City Council votes for independent audit of federal raid at local restaurant
Minneapolis City Council votes for independent audit of federal raid at local restaurant originally appeared on Bring Me The News. Minneapolis City Council on Thursday voted unanimously in favor of launching an independent audit of the operation conducted by federal law enforcement including Immigration and Customs Enforcement at a Minneapolis restaurant this week. By a 12-0 vote, the council says the Office of City Auditor will now conduct an after-action review of the operation conducted outside Las Cuatro Milpas at Lake Street and Bloomington on Tuesday. Militarized vehicles and heavily armed agents from ICE, the FBI, ATF and DEA descended on the scene, drawing a large crowd of protesters. The review will investigate Minneapolis Police Department's involvement in the raid – one of eight reportedly conducted across the Twin Cities on Tuesday – to determine whether it was in violation of the city's separation ordinance that prohibits MPD from assisting ICE with the enforcement of immigration laws. Authorities involved in the operation, including Hennepin County Sheriff's Office, said that it didn't relate to immigration enforcement, and was instead part of a large-scale criminal investigation into drugs and money laundering. However, ICE agents had already been at the scene for several hours by the time this information was released. Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara has said he was only informed of the raid after it had started, while Mayor Jacob Frey says Minneapolis officers were only present for "crowd control" and "keeping the community safe." In a statement on Wednesday, O'Hara said his officers were called at about 11:15 a.m. to "help de-escalate and stabilize a rapidly escalating situation involving confrontations between members of a crowd and federal agents." A video was shared on social media Thursday showing one MPD officer pushing a protester who was recording him, while there were reports from the scene that federal agents used pepper spray during the crowd response. View the to see embedded media. O'Hara criticized the way the federal operation unfolded, saying that even though it wasn't related to immigration enforcement, "the manner in which it was executed was tone deaf to the reality of tensions and fear in our community." "I have communicated my concerns directly to our federal partners," he said, adding that the operation on Tuesday "revealed just how sensitive and intense the issue of immigration enforcement remains in our city." But both O'Hara and Frey have been among those criticizing some of the elected officials who were on the scene on Tuesday, accusing them of spreading misinformation about the nature of the operation, claiming fears that it was an immigration raid at a time of mass deportations by the Trump administration led to escalation at the scene and "only served to inflame tensions." As mentioned earlier, agents wearing ICE badges were visible outside the restaurant when the operation started shortly after 10 a.m., and it wasn't until just after 1 p.m. that a statement was issued by MPD clarifying that the operation wasn't related to immigration. During Thursday's council meeting, Councilor Jason Chavez, who was among those posting to social media from the scene , called on Chief O'Hara to name those he believes were spreading misinformation. Chavez told MPR News that at no point did he post that the operation was an ICE raid, but he state that ICE was at the scene and shared images confirming that fact. "Which elected officials are you talking about in your emails and in your media press releases? And chief, I'm asking you right now, name them," Chavez said. Councilor Aurin Chowdury says that the escalation was the fault of the federal agents on the scene. "I find it extremely disappointing that leaders up here are taking time to blame escalation on alerting community members that ICE was on the ground when the reason for escalation that occurred was a militarized force with assault rifles in our community, she said. "Before anyone posted anything everything was escalating, there werre several armored vehicles, people with zip ties, their faces covered in a heavily immigrant corridor at a time when ICE detentions have occurred in our city."

DC police officer convicted for Proud Boys leaks sentenced to more than year in prison
A District of Columbia police lieutenant convicted of tipping off Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio that he was being investigated, and who later lied about their communication, was sentenced Friday to 18 months in prison. Former Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) Lt. Shane Lamond was found guilty last year on one count of obstructing justice and three counts of making false statements to federal law enforcement officials. Federal prosecutors accused him of warning Tarrio, then national chairman of the right-wing extremist group, that D.C. law enforcement had an arrest warrant for him related to the destruction of a Black Lives Matter banner. They also said he lied to law enforcement when pressed on the nature of his relationship with Tarrio, suggesting it was 'one-sided.' Lamond told U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson on Friday that he 'respectfully disagrees' with her finding of guilt but, 'in retrospect,' agrees he made several errors throughout his communications with Tarrio. He said that he believed that building rapport with Tarrio was part of doing his job but described his efforts as 'sloppy,' lamenting that his conviction had now upended his career and life. 'Frankly, I'm broken at this point,' the former law enforcement officer added. Jackson said the idea Lamond could have done better when communicating with the Proud Boys leader was 'quite the understatement.' His conduct was not consistent with police practices 'unless you twist them until they're unrecognizable,' she said. Prosecutors had asked for a sentence of four years in prison. The government's sentencing memorandum was submitted under Ed Martin, who was President Trump's first pick for U.S. Attorney in D.C. but ultimately moved into another Justice Department post when his Senate confirmation seemed unlikely. Assistant U.S. Attorney Rebecca Ross called Lamond a 'trusted leader' who used his reputation to 'insert himself' into the investigation of Tarrio. 'MPD was able to bring Tarrio to justice not because of the defendant but in spite of the defendant,' she said. At trial, prosecutors said Lamond's communications with Tarrio grew more secretive and frequent as pressure to arrest him mounted in 2020. Both Lamond and Tarrio took the stand at the week-long bench trial. Lamond said he never passed sensitive police information along to Tarrio. Tarrio as a witness in Lamond's defense said he never received any confidential information from the lieutenant. Lamond attorney Mark Schamel told Jackson they 'fundamentally disagree' on the facts of the case and urged her to give him a sentence without incarceration, instead asking for probation and suggesting that the police officer's ruined career and reputation in the media is punishment enough. 'Shane Lamond has been destroyed,' he said. Schamel also indicated that a pardon from Trump was not likely. Jackson rejected the notion that the potential for future clemency could sway her decision. The judge called the government's 48-month sentencing request 'excessive' but said that probation would 'not suffice.' She acknowledged that, until the incident regarding Tarrio, Lamond performed his job with 'honor.' Letters from his family painted a picture of a dedicated father, partner and son. However, that cuts both ways, Jackson said, and the then-officer 'should have known better than this.' 'You repeatedly dishonored the badge,' the judge added. Tarrio was arrested over the incident on Jan. 4, 2021, and ordered out of the nation's capital. He wasn't in Washington two days later, when a mob of Trump's supporters — including dozens of Proud Boys — stormed the Capitol in aim of stopping the certification of the 2020 presidential election. The Proud Boys leader was sentenced to 22 years in prison after being convicted of seditious conspiracy but was pardoned by Trump when he returned to the White House. Tarrio was in the courtroom Friday, alongside Oath Keepers leader Stewart Rhodes and Ivan Raiklin, a Trump supporter who has deemed himself 'Secretary of Retribution.' Outside the courthouse, the former Proud Boys leader said Lamond is 'worthy' of a pardon from Trump. Rhodes, who was sentenced to an 18-year prison term for sedition that was commuted to time-served by Trump, called Lamond a 'J6er' for how he has been treated over the incident, a term of endearment for those who participated in the Capitol riot. 'This has to be corrected,' Tarrio said. Updated at 1:10 p.m. EDT. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.
