Trump issues direct threat to protesters ahead of birthday parade
Donald Trump supporters are planning a military-style parade in Miami on June 14 to celebrate his 78th birthday, prompting concerns and planned protests. The "Trump Birthday Parade" is set to feature floats, motorcycles, and potentially tanks, with participants encouraged to wear military-style gear. Critics and activists are organising counter-protests, raising fears of potential clashes between Trump supporters and opponents. Donald Trump made an explicit threat, stating 'those people who want to protest' would be 'met with very big force'. The event is scheduled to start at 7pm in Little Havana, with participants gathering at Domino Park.

Supreme Court leaves in place Maryland's ban on assault-style rifles
The Supreme Court declined to take up a pair of gun-rights cases Monday, leaving in place Maryland's ban on semiautomatic military-style rifles and Rhode Island's restrictions on large-capacity magazines holding more than 10 rounds of ammunition. The court's action drew dissents from three conservatives, showing the Supreme Court still divided on how to handle Second Amendment cases after the justices expanded gun rights in a 2022 landmark decision.
