Police take down stabbing, arson suspect at Maryland's National Harbor
An officer-involved shooting took place on Easter Sunday in National Harbor, Maryland.
Police say around 8:20 a.m. officers responded to a stabbing call, where a man and a woman were found with "critical stab wounds."
"Before fleeing that scene, the suspect also set fire to the apartment," Prince George's County Police Department Chief Malik Aziz said during a media conference. "Officers learned the stabbing was domestic-related, and the suspect was known to the victims."
Less than two hours later, "Officers responded to the National Harbor where they encountered the suspect in that earlier stabbing at St. George Blvd and Potomac Passage. The suspect was still armed with a knife and moved towards an officer."

Local protests build in response to Trump's stepped up immigration raids
Happy hour patrons blocked unmarked vehicles on a San Diego street. Crowds massed outside New York immigration court. Students walked out of a Massachusetts high school. Labor organizers and others gathered outside worksite raids in Los Angeles. As President Donald Trump works toward delivering on his promise to deport millions of immigrants, the administration's tough, new tactics are increasingly being met with community resistance. The Department of Homeland Security has defended its workplace raids and individual arrests as necessary to get the job done. DHS leaders blame Democratic politicians and protesters for what they described ‒ before the recent issues in Los Angeles ‒ as a more than 400% increase in assaults on agents. Immigrant advocates say the government's more aggressive tactics have gone too far and when agencies operate 'in a rogue fashion,' protesters will come out in force. That boiled over on June 7, when protests against heavily armed, masked agents raiding Los Angeles businesses turned violent. Trump deployed the National Guard to quell protests, a dramatic escalation. The tensions in Los Angeles built slowly and then exploded. On Friday, June 6, there were small protests at several job sites where ICE was arresting immigrants. At one of the sites, the president of the Service Employees International Union, David Huerta, was arrested for allegedly interfering with federal officers. Police fired tear gas, pepper spray and flash-bang concussion rounds toward the crowd. The next day, larger protests, including members of Huerta's union, began in the town of Paramount, south of Los Angeles, linked to rumors of a possible immigration raid. As the protests grew in the county, where about 1 in 3 residents is foreign-born, Trump ordered 2,000 National Guard troops to the region. The move drew condemnation from state and local officials, many of whom have long been at odds with the president. They feared the troops would escalate the situation, which had been contained to a few, isolated areas of conflict. By late morning on June 8, with dozens of National Guard troops in place near the Los Angeles federal complex, tensions rose even higher. At one point, a crowd of protesters walked onto the 101 Freeway, blocking traffic in both directions. Others burned taxis and hurled objects at officers, who responded with tear gas and rubber bullets. In the early evening, the police department declared an "unlawful assembly" for the Civic Center area and the historic Olvera Street in downtown Los Angeles and cleared the protesters. The area was mostly quiet after about 8 p.m. local time. More protests were planned for June 9 and 10. On May 30, agents in military gear and weapons descended on San Diego's trendy South Park neighborhood. Amid Friday evening dinner parties, officials arrested four workers at a popular Italian restaurant suspected of hiring workers without proper work authorization. The operation came as a result of a 2020 tip, followed by another in January 2025, court records show. A crowd of people poured out from bars and restaurants to stand in front of several unmarked cars near the Buona Forchetta restaurant. 'We all felt a collective anger because they're pulling busboys and dishwashers,' said José Díaz, who had been at a nearby bar when he heard agents were in the area. 'Nobody's committing a crime but going to work.' Díaz, 47, went to the street and began recording video on his phone. Agents tried to drive cars through the crowd. Then, they threw two flash-bang grenades into the crowd. One, a Defense Technology Low Roll Distraction Device, went off by Díaz's foot. As a former Army captain, Díaz said he had never seen soldiers use such tactics, even overseas. 'We had much stricter rules of engagement than these agents had,' he said. Eventually, the agents went backward, exiting the area, as people marched toward them shouting 'Shame.' On social media, San Diego City Councilmember Sean Elo-Rivera called the agents 'terrorists" for exercising violent tactics. Stephen Miller, the White House deputy chief of staff, said on X that politicians like Elo-Rivera are 'openly encouraging violence against law enforcement to aid and abet the invasion of America.' Elo-Rivera, who represents a nearby district, said Immigration and Customs Enforcement has been conducting raids in the border city's immigrant neighborhoods. The action May 30 occurred in a gentrified neighborhood that has become more white and monied, he added. 'The majority of Americans, and certainly San Diegans, do not want to factor into their dinner plans the possibility of a brigade of armed, masked men dropping into their evening of enjoying spaghetti and pizza,' Elo-Rivera said. Across the country, agents in recent weeks have also arrested people as they appeared in immigration court or had check-ins with officials. In New York City, protests have erupted outside of immigration court buildings, resulting in scuffles with officials and agents boarding up windows amid arrests. Protests have only grown after ICE detained a Bronx high school student, an asylum seeker from Venezuela, who had gone to immigration court in May. Like him, other migrants have been detained trying to appear in court or while checking in with immigration officials. The week of June 2, agents lined up in courthouse hallways to detain people. Images showed families cuffed and hauled into unmarked cars by agents. 'As we continue to see these agencies conduct themselves in a rogue fashion, people are going to continue to step up and fight back,' Murad Awawdeh, president of CEO of the New York Immigration Coalition, said. 'We have to fight for each other. If we don't, then we're going to continue to allow these authoritarian tactics to continue to peek their heads up.' In Massachusetts, Milford High School students organized protests after agents on May 31 detained a junior, Marcelo Gomes Da Silva, while he was going to volleyball practice. Agents said they meant to target his father but detained Gomes Da Silva, 18, instead. Gomes Da Silva was in the country illegally, having entered the United States on a visa as a young child that has since expired. After their June 1 graduation, Milford students walked from the school to protest outside the town hall. A day later, they walked out of class as they awaited Gomes Da Silva's immigration case. He was granted bail on June 5 and released. The student body was visibly upset, Nicholas Molinari, president of the Milford Teachers Association, said in an email. ICE has been present in Milford for several weeks, he added, causing fear in many students who have shared their feelings with teachers. On June 3, masked agents in tactical gear and military-style vehicles amassed at a Minneapolis corner in the heart of the city's Latino community. They stood outside a taqueria, where federal agents investigated an incident related to a criminal search warrant for drugs and money laundering, not immigration enforcement, Mayor Jacob Frey later said on Facebook. He said agents made no arrests. In the pouring rain, few officials would respond to residents' questions, said the Rev. Ingrid Rasmussen, lead pastor of Holy Trinity Lutheran Church. The incident took place near a grocery store and preschool. In a viral video, Rasmussen questioned Minneapolis Police Chief O'Hara about local law enforcement's cooperation with agents, some of whom donned ICE badges. Local officials have said ICE had no presence in the operation, and local police only assisted in controlling the crowd. In a statement shared to news outlets, ICE celebrated its investigation. The answers to such contradictions have been insufficient and considered gaslighting to many residents, Rasmussen added. 'We can do better than this,' she said. 'I think our imaginations have somehow grown small if we think this is what community safety looks like, what it needs to look like, at this moment in history.'

ICE Releases Gavin Newsom Beheading Video
WASHINGTON—Disseminating grainy footage of the California Democrat meeting his disturbing and bloody end, Immigration and Customs Enforcement released a video Tuesday in which Gov. Gavin Newsom is seen being beheaded. 'This is a message to the enemies of immigration enforcement: Gov. Newsom's fate will be yours should you stand in the way of national purity,' an anonymous plainclothes ICE agent wearing a balaclava says as he holds a bound Newsom by his slicked-back hair and prompts him to recite a coerced statement about 'paying for the sins of the American left and its insistence on universal human dignity.' 'We call on the lieutenant governor and the Los Angeles mayor to cease their opposition immediately. We will continue to behead any Democratic presidential hopeful who stands in our movement's way. Death to America!' The ICE agent later appears to go frustrated when several several swings of the machete are required to remove Newsom's head, the result of excess hair gel dripping down the governor's neck.

Only a third of Americans are backing the LA protests over the ICE raids, poll finds
Americans are not backing the Los Angeles protests with only a third taking the side of those standing up against the ICE deportation raids, a new poll finds. Around one in three Americans (36 percent) said they approve of the protests against Immigration and Customs Enforcement, compared to 45 percent who disapprove, a YouGov poll of more than 4,200 U.S. adults found. Of those polled, 19 percent said they were not sure. It comes as the Trump administration has ramped up its response after protests against sweeping immigration action broke out across the city over the weekend. President Donald Trump has deployed thousands of military personnel, including the National Guard, to clamp down on demonstrations in Los Angeles, while Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has mobilized up to 700 Marines. When asked who should take the lead in the response against the protests, 56 percent said it was the responsibility of state and local authorities, versus 25 percent who backed the federal government's involvement. Respondents were also split on whether the protesters were behaving mostly peacefully or mostly violently, with 38 percent saying the former and 36 percent the latter. More people overall (47 percent) said they disapproved of the Trump administration's deployment of the Marines to the LA area in response to the demonstrations, compared to 34 percent who approved. The poll also found that 58 percent of Democrats approve of the protests, compared with just 15 percent of Republicans. While many Democrats have railed against the Trump administration's handling of the protests, Democratic Senator John Fetterman accused his party of failing to condemn the violence. 'My party loses the moral high ground when we refuse to condemn setting cars on fire, destroying buildings, and assaulting law enforcement,' Fetterman said in a post on X. 'I unapologetically stand for free speech, peaceful demonstrations and immigration—but this is not that,' he said. 'This is anarchy and true chaos.' Demonstrators clashed with law enforcement Sunday in opposition to ICE raids targeting migrants. Cars were set on fire and looting was reported in downtown Los Angeles. Protests continued into Monday, where more than 100 people were arrested. California Governor Gavin Newsom is suing the Trump administration for its heavy-handed approach in deploying the National Guard. Trump said that LA 'would be burning to the ground right now' if he hadn't sent in thousands of military personnel. Trump said Newsom and Mayor Karen Bass were 'incompetent' and a 'total mess' in a Tuesday Truth Social post.
