Clash At CA Federal Building Leaves Protester Injured

A confrontation outside a federal immigration building in Southern California left a protester seriously injured after federal officers deployed crowd-control munitions during a protest that authorities say became disorderly. The demonstration took place Friday outside the federal immigration facility in Santa Ana, where officers in riot gear were stationed as crowds gathered and chanted. According to the Department of Homeland Security, some protesters refused to leave the property and threw objects toward officers, prompting law enforcement to take action to restore order. During the encounter, a 21-year-old man was struck in the face by a crowd-control projectile and later taken into custody. Officials say two federal officers were also injured during the disturbance. DHS described the gathering as a violent protest and said arrests were made for assault on a federal officer and disorderly conduct. The agency did not immediately release details about the type of munitions used or the extent of injuries to those involved. The incident remains under review as investigations continue.

Ex-SC Lawmaker Faces 20 Years in Child Abuse Case

Prosecutors are urging a federal judge to sentence former South Carolina Republican lawmaker R.J. May to 20 years in prison for distributing hundreds of videos depicting the sexual abuse of children. May pleaded guilty last year to federal charges after admitting he shared graphic files on social media platforms over several days in 2024. Court documents say the material involved toddlers and young children and was distributed to multiple users across the country. In sentencing filings, prosecutors argue May repeatedly revictimized the children by sharing the videos and say his actions were especially egregious given his role as a lawmaker who supported legislation aimed at protecting minors. May is asking the judge for leniency and a significantly shorter sentence. In a statement to the court, he cited addiction issues and personal circumstances while expressing remorse for his actions. Federal sentencing guidelines recommend a prison term of roughly 17 to 22 years. The judge is expected to hear arguments from both sides before issuing a final sentence.

Supreme Court leans toward allowing transgender sports bans

Conservative U.S. Supreme Court justices signaled sympathy on Tuesday toward the legality of state laws banning transgender athletes from participating on female sports teams amid escalating efforts nationwide to restrict the rights of transgender people. The justices heard more than three hours of arguments in appeals by Idaho and West Virginia of decisions by lower courts siding with transgender students who challenged the bans in the two states as violating the U.S. Constitution and a federal anti-discrimination law. Twenty-five other states have similar laws on the books. The Supreme Court, which has a 6-3 conservative majority, backed other restrictions on transgender people in rulings issued last year. Republican President Donald Trump's administration defended the laws during the arguments. "Obviously, one of the great successes in America over the last 50 years has been the growth of women's and girls' sports. And it's inspiring," conservative Justice Brett Kavanaugh said. Kavanaugh noted that the federal government, certain states, the NCAA governing body for college sports and the U.S. Olympic Committee "think that allowing transgender women and girls to participate will undermine or reverse that amazing success, and will create unfairness." Alan Hurst, Idaho's solicitor general arguing for the state, also touched on that issue. "If women don't have their own competitions, they won't be able to compete," Hurst said. "Idaho's law classifies on the basis of sex, because sex is what matters in sports," Hurst told the justices. "It correlates strongly with countless athletic advantages, like size, muscle mass, bone mass and heart and lung capacity." The case could have wider repercussions for transgender people and affect whether other measures targeting them in the public sphere - including military service, bathroom access, treatment in classrooms and designations in official documents such as passports - can be enforced. The Idaho and West Virginia laws designate sports teams at public schools including universities according to "biological sex" and bar "students of the male sex" from female athletic teams. The states said the laws preserve fair and safe competition for women and girls. "Gender identity does not matter in sports, and that's why Idaho's law does not classify on the basis of gender identity. It treats all males equally and all females equally regardless of identity. And its purpose is exactly what the (state) legislature said - preserving women's equal opportunity," Hurst said. The challengers argued that these measures discriminate based on an individual's sex or status as a transgender person in violation of the Constitution's 14th Amendment guarantee of equal protection under the law, as well as the Title IX civil rights statute that bars discrimination in education "on the basis of sex." "It is undisputed that states may separate their sports teams based on sex in light of the real biological differences between males and females. States may equally apply that valid sex-based rule to biological males who self-identify as female," said Justice Department lawyer Hashim Mooppan, arguing for the Trump administration. "Denying a special accommodation to trans-identifying individuals does not discriminate on the basis of sex or gender identity or deny equal protection. All of that remains true even assuming a man could take drugs that eliminate his sex-based physiological advantages," Mooppan said. West Virginia Solicitor General Michael Williams, arguing for the state, called the challenge a "backdoor attack on Title IX." The challenger to his state's law, Williams added, "says that West Virginia schools can no longer designate teams by looking to biological sex. Instead, schools must place students on sports teams based on their self-identified gender. But that idea turns Title IX - a law Congress passed to protect educational opportunities for girls - into a law that actually denies those opportunities for girls. The court should not embrace that backwards logic." The plaintiffs contend that the use of puberty blockers or gender-affirming hormones by transgender students should matter regarding whether states can lawfully apply these bans because these medications may prevent or eliminate sex-based physical advantages. Defenders of the bans said such advantages remain despite medical treatments. "In short, male athletes who take performance-altering drugs are not similarly situated to female athletes, and states need not treat them the same," Mooppan said. Kathleen Hartnett, representing the plaintiff who challenged Idaho's law, said her client mitigated the competitive advantage through the use of testosterone suppressants and estrogen, eliminating the ban's justification. Conservative Justice Samuel Alito asked Hartnett to address some of the concerns expressed about transgender women athletes. "There are an awful lot of female athletes who are strongly opposed to participation by trans athletes and competitions with them," Alito said. "What do you say about them? Are they bigots? Are they deluded in thinking that they are subjected to unfair competition?" The court in 2020 delivered a landmark ruling protecting transgender people from workplace discrimination under a different law, called Title VII, that contains wording similar to Title IX. Conservative Justice Neil Gorsuch, who authored the Title VII decision, questioned Hurst's claim that the Idaho law does not classify people based on transgender status. Gorsuch asked Hurst about discrimination in the United States against transgender people in areas such as immigration and family law and statutes involving cross-dressing. "A laundry list," Gorsuch said. "There has been some discrimination against transgender people - significant discrimination against transgender people - in the history of this country. The same can be said of many groups," Hurst responded. Hurst noted, for example, that women and Black people in the past were barred from voting or property ownership, and said of the discrimination questions raised in the current transgender case: "These things don't compare. They're just not alike." Conservative Justice Clarence Thomas wondered if any difference existed between what the transgender plaintiffs are seeking and a "lousy" male tennis player who wants to try out for the women's team who says, 'There is no way I'm better than the women's tennis players.'" "It's not at all different," Hurst replied. Some of the justices focused on how the Idaho law treats people differently, whether based on sex or their status as transgender individuals, and whether that would require the court to more skeptically review the reasons expressed by the states for adopting such measures – a form of judicial review called intermediate scrutiny. "There's no question here that a male who identifies as a female, but is a male, is being excluded from a female sport," liberal Justice Sonia Sotomayor told Hurst. "By its nature, that's a sex classification. And all sex classifications, we have said repeatedly in our case law, require intermediate scrutiny." The Supreme Court last year in a case from Tennessee let states ban gender-affirming medical treatments for minors. It also let Trump ban transgender people from the military and bar passport applicants from selecting the sex reflecting their gender identities for the document. Since returning to office last year, Trump has cast the gender identity of transgender people as a lie and issued multiple executive orders to limit their rights including one involving sports participation. The West Virginia challenge was brought by Becky Pepper-Jackson and her mother. Pepper-Jackson, 15, competes in shot put and discus in high school. The Idaho challenge was brought by Lindsay Hecox, a Boise State University student who previously participated in soccer and running clubs at the public university. Hecox, 25, has decided to quit playing sports and sought to dismiss the case in part due to a fear of harassment and growing intolerance toward transgender people. Hurst argued that this does not make Hecox's challenge moot. A ruling is expected by the end of June.

Mexico Arrests 6 Alleged Tren de Aragua Gang Members

Mexican authorities said Tuesday they had arrested six alleged members of the Tren de Aragua gang in Mexico City for crimes related to drug trafficking, extortion and human trafficking. The announcement came a day after President Claudia Sheinbaum and U.S. President Donald Trump spoke of their governments’ ongoing collaboration against drug cartels. The Trump administration designated Tren de Aragua a foreign terrorist organization last year, and alleged it had ties with Venezuela's now-deposed President Nicolás Maduro. The U.S. government has also targeted some boats in the Caribbean that it alleges were carrying drugs for the gang. Mexico’s Security Secretary Omar García Harfuch announced the arrests on social media but did not provide nationalities. The arrests of one woman and five men were carried out after surveillance on several buildings in the capital. Drugs, a gun and a notebook recording extortion in the city were seized. The Tren de Aragua gang started more than a decade ago in a Venezuelan prison. It gained global notoriety after Trump placed it at the center of his anti-immigrant narrative. The gang has expanded in recent years as nearly 8 million Venezuelans fled economic turmoil and migrated to other Latin American countries or the U.S.

Trump admin lists 3 Muslim brotherhood branches as terrorist organizations

President Donald Trump's administration has made good on its pledge to label three Middle Eastern branches of the Muslim Brotherhood as terrorist organizations, imposing sanctions on them. The Treasury and State departments announced the actions Tuesday against the Lebanese, Jordanian and Egyptian chapters of the Muslim Brotherhood, which they say pose a risk to the United States. The State Department designates the Lebanese branch a foreign terrorist organization, the most severe of the labels. This makes it a criminal offense to provide material support to the group. The Jordanian and Egyptian branches are listed by Treasury as specially designated global terrorists for providing support to Hamas. Muslim Brotherhood leaders have said they renounce violence.

Trump tells Iranian protesters 'help is on its way'

President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that he’s cutting off the prospect of talks with Iranian officials amid a protest crackdown, telling Iranian citizens “help is on its way.” Trump did not offer any details about what the help would entail, but it comes after the Republican president just days ago said Iran wants to negotiate with Washington after his threat to strike the Islamic Republic, where the death toll from nationwide protests has spiked to more than 2,000, according to human rights monitors. "Iranian Patriots, KEEP PROTESTING - TAKE OVER YOUR INSTITUTIONS!!!” Trump wrote in a morning post on Truth Social. “Save the names of the killers and abusers. They will pay a big price. I have cancelled all meetings with Iranian Officials until the senseless killing of protesters STOPS. HELP IS ON ITS WAY," Trump wrote on Truth Social Tuesday.
