Court blocks California mask ban for federal agents, paving path for revision

A federal judge struck down California’s No Secret Police Act mask ban on federal officers for discriminating by not applying to state police, though she left open a path for a revised law that includes all officers; state lawmakers, led by Sen. Wiener, plan to refile a broader ban while DOJ argued the current ban could cause nationwide enforcement chaos. The ruling paused enforcement against federal agents and reinforced a push for clearer identification rules, with continued political and legal maneuvering from California and federal officials.

Trump Admin Pulls 700 Federal Agents from Minnesota, Leaving 2,000 Behind

The Trump administration will immediately withdraw 700 federal law enforcement officers from Minnesota, leaving about 2,000 agents in the state, with most concentrated in the Twin Cities. Border czar Tom Homan said the drawdown follows enhanced cooperation with state and local entities and is part of smarter, targeted enforcement that reassigns officers from custody operations to other frontline duties.

Medico-Legacy: Minneapolis Case Finds Alex Pretti’s Death a Homicide, Not Self-Defense

The Hennepin County Medical Examiner’s Office officially ruled Alex Pretti’s death a homicide caused by multiple gunshot wounds, countering officials’ claims that he brandished a weapon. Video evidence reportedly shows Pretti held only his cellphone (with a permit to carry) when federal agents fired, sparking nationwide protests and renewed calls for accountability. The Star Tribune reported the new finding, which follows earlier homicide determinations in related cases.

Lemon says surrender offer was ignored as federal agents arrested him

Don Lemon says about a dozen federal agents arrested him in a Los Angeles hotel last week over federal civil rights charges tied to his coverage of a protest at a Minnesota church. He claims he offered to surrender but authorities didn’t have a warrant, which he says was later shown on a cell phone. Lemon asserts he was reporting as a journalist, not a protester, and his attorney vows to vigorously contest the charges after a grand jury indictment naming him and others in the Minnesota incident. He was held overnight in a federal holding room, and the case centers on alleged violations of First Amendment rights during the protest at the Cities Church in St. Paul.

The episode underscores concerns about retaliation against civilians documenting immigration enforcement, a issue tied to a federal lawsuit and an injunction aimed at curbing such retaliation.
