US cities cap Pride Month with a mix of party and protest
NEW YORK -- The monthlong celebration of LGBTQ+ Pride reaches its rainbow-laden crescendo as New York and other major cities around the world host major parades and marches on Sunday. The festivities in Manhattan, home to the nation's oldest and largest Pride celebration, kick off with a march down Fifth Avenue featuring more than 700 participating groups and expected huge crowds. Marchers will wind past the Stonewall Inn, a Greenwich Village gay bar where a 1969 police raid triggered protests and fired up the LGBTQ+ rights movement. The site is now a national monument. In San Francisco, marchers in another of the world's largest Pride events will head down the city's central Market Street, reaching concert stages set up at the Civic Center Plaza. San Francisco's mammoth City Hall is also among the venues hosting a post-march party. Chicago, Seattle, Minneapolis and Toronto, Canada are among the other major North American cities hosting Pride parades on Sunday. Several global cities including Tokyo, Paris and Sao Paulo, held their events earlier this month while others come later in the year, including London in July and Rio de Janeiro in November. The first pride march was held in New York City in 1970 to commemorate the one-year anniversary of the Stonewall uprising. Pride celebrations are typically a daylong mix of jubilant street parties and political protest, but organizers said this year's iterations will take a more defiant stance than recent years. The festivities come days after the tenth anniversary of the Supreme Court's landmark June 26, 2015, ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges that recognized same-sex marriage nationwide. But Republicans, led by President Donald Trump, have sought to roll back LGBTQ+ friendly policies. Since taking office in January, Trump has specifically targeted transgender people, removing them from the military, preventing federal insurance programs from paying for gender-affirmation surgeries for young people and attempting to keep transgender athletes out of girls and women's sports. The theme for the Manhattan event is, appropriately, 'Rise Up: Pride in Protest." San Francisco's Pride theme is 'Queer Joy is Resistance' while Seattle's is simply 'Louder.' 'This is not a time to be quiet,' Patti Hearn, Seattle Pride's executive director, said in a statement ahead of the event. 'We will stand up. We will speak up. We will get loud.' Among the other headwinds faced by gay rights groups this year is the loss of corporate sponsorship. American companies have pulled back support of Pride events, reflecting a broader walking back of diversity and inclusion efforts amid shifting public sentiment. NYC Pride said earlier this month that about 20% of its corporate sponsors dropped or reduced support, including PepsiCo and Nissan. Organizers of San Francisco Pride said they lost the support of five major corporate donors, including Comcast and Anheuser-Busch.

Netanyahu seeks to postpone trial summons after Trump backing
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu asked a court on Thursday to postpone his testimony in his long-running corruption trial, after US President Donald Trump called for the case to be cancelled altogether. Trump's move in support of Netanyahu over the case drew criticism from some Israeli politicians, including a member of the Israeli leader's own coalition and the leader of the opposition. It came days after Trump and Netanyahu declared victory over Iran in a 12-day conflict that saw Israel bombard the Islamic republic and US planes also drop powerful missiles on its nuclear installations. In a filing to the tribunal, Netanyahu's lawyer Amit Hadad said the premier's testimony should be delayed in light of "regional and global developments". "The court is respectfully requested to order the cancellation of the hearings in which the prime minister was scheduled to testify in the coming two weeks," the filing said. It said Netanyahu was "compelled to devote all his time and energy to managing national, diplomatic and security issues of the utmost importance" following the conflict with Iran and during ongoing fighting in Gaza where Israeli hostages are held. Trump on Wednesday described the case against Netanyahu as a "witch hunt". In a message on his Truth Social platform, Trump said the Netanyahu trial "should be CANCELLED, IMMEDIATELY, or a Pardon given to a Great Hero", after the end of the war with Iran. Netanyahu on Thursday thanked Trump for his "heartfelt support for me and your incredible support for Israel and the Jewish people". "I look forward to continue working with you to defeat our common enemies, liberate our hostages and quickly expand the circle of peace," Netanyahu wrote on X, sharing a copy of Trump's Truth Social post. Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid said in an interview with news website Ynet: "We are thankful to President Trump, but... the president should not interfere in a judicial trial in an independent country." - Corruption charges - Israel's longest-serving prime minister, Netanyahu has denied any wrongdoing in the trial, which has been delayed many times since it began in May 2020. In a first case, Netanyahu and his wife, Sara, are accused of accepting more than $260,000 worth of luxury goods such as cigars, jewellery and champagne from billionaires in exchange for political favours. In two other cases, Netanyahu is accused of attempting to negotiate more favourable coverage in two Israeli media outlets. One of Netanyahu's coalition allies, Simcha Rothman of the far-right Religious Zionism party, also called for Trump to stay out of the court case. "It is not the role of the president of the United States to interfere in legal proceedings in the State of Israel," said Rothman, who chairs the Israeli parliament's judicial affairs committee. Rothman, a vocal critic of what he argues is judicial overreach, however said that "the management of Netanyahu's cases is transforming the image of the State of Israel from a regional and global power into a banana republic." National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, the leader of another far-right party in Netanyahu's coalition, backed Trump's call, branding the trial politically motivated. Foreign Minister Gideon Saar said it was "distorted, unreasonable, contrary to the basic sense of justice" to continue Netanyahu's trial while Israel is at war, also backing Trump's call to drop the charges. During his current term since late 2022, Netanyahu's government has proposed a series of far-reaching judicial reforms that critics say were designed to weaken the courts. Netanyahu has requested multiple postponements in the proceedings, most recently citing the ongoing war in Gaza since April 2023, later in Lebanon and earlier this month in Iran. myl-acc/rlp/dv

What we know Eden Prairie police announced Friday that a human trafficking sting led to the arrest of 12 men for attempted exploitation of a minor. The men believed they were arranging to pay for sex with a 17-year-old girl, who was actually an undercover officer. The operation involved a multiple-agency task force that focused on trafficking and exploitation in the Interstate 494 corridor. According to police, the men ranged in age from 24-46, and were from all over the Twin Cities.

Lor continued to arrange to pay for sex and meet up with her, court documents state. Lor was arrested at the meet-up site, and had $380, a loaded firearm and a cell phone with him, charges say. When Nordean contacted the undercover officer attempting to solicit, he acknowledged several times that the undercover officer was 17, and it was illegal for him, the charges allege. At the meet-up location, when police closed in on Nordean, he attempted to flee in his car but crashed into a tree. Officers found $940 and a cell phone.

The undercover officer asked Geronimo to bring Sour Patch Kids as an early birthday present. When Geronimo was arrested at the meet-up location, officers found $6, a bag of Sour Patch Kids and a cell phone, charges said. Agustin called and texted the undercover officer asking if she was available, court documents state. The undercover officer told Agustin she was young and was "like almost 18", and asked if he was "good with that". Agustin responded, "He was OK with that and 'don't worry'". He also asked the undercover officer to Facetime and asked for a photo, the charges said. When Agustin was arrested at the meet-up location, he had $250 and a cell phone on him. The charges say when Elias was told by the undercover officer, "im [sic] almost 17," he responded with "Really, and where do you live?" Elias then arranged to meet-up with the undercover officer. He was then arrested and had $216, condoms and a cell phone with him. After Pourmand reached out to the undercover officer for sex, she told him she was only 17-years-old, to which Pourmand responded that he "liked them younger" and asked to confirm the undercover officer's birthday. She said she was born in December 2007, and Pourman responded "you almost 18" and "its okay", the charges stated. Pourman was arrested and had $503.45 and three cell phones on him. The undercover officer told Nur after he reached out that she was younger, "almost 18" and that the ad ""will be taken down if I say 17." Nur continued to arrange to meet the undercover officer, and he was arrested at a golf course in Eden Prairie, charges said. He had $250 on him and a cell phone. When the undercover officer told Amanzai she was young and 17, and said "I don't want u pissed," Amanzai said she's lying and proceeded to attempt to meet her, court documents state. He was arrested with $274 and a cell phone on him. Solis-Perez was told by the undercover officer she was 17, and asked him if he was good with that. He responded saying he was OK with that and said, "got me worry your age," court documents said. He then asked for a photo of the undercover officer and for her address. Solis-Perez didn't stop at the location but slowed by the entrance. He then drove past and turned around. Police then tried to conduct a traffic stop on Solis-Perez, who then fled police. Police had to conduct a PIT maneuver to stop Solis-Perez, who was then arrested with $200, a condom, cocaine, methamphetamine and two cell phones, charges said. The charges say that for all these men, a confirmatory text was sent by officers to the number used by the men to communicate with the undercover officer, and the texts came through on all the men's phones. What they're saying Eden Prairie police say since 2016, they have taken part in 38 sting operations, which led to 401 arrests for trafficking-related offenses. Investigators have also been able to connect with 117 victims and provide support to them. The Source A press release from Eden Prairie police, and court documents from Hennepin County.
