Federal Prosecutors Charge 15 People With Impeding Agents During Minnesota Immigration Crackdown

Federal prosecutors have charged 15 people with impeding federal agents during a massive immigration surge in Minnesota earlier this year. The defendants allegedly used tactics like stalking agents and using ice blocks to slow convoys. Minnesota U.S. Attorney Daniel N. Rosen said the operation targeted Minneapolis-based antifa groups. President Trump had previously directed authorities to target antifa, which he labeled a domestic terror group. The charges follow "Operation Metro Surge," which brought thousands of agents to the Twin Cities, sparking protests and leading to the fatal shooting of two citizens. Names and specific charges were not immediately available.

Police Arrest Person In Chicago Cross Burning Investigation

CHICAGO (AP) — A person is in custody in an investigation of a large cross set on fire in a well-known Chicago park, police said Tuesday. The burning cross was discovered June 9 in Grant Park, where Barack Obama delivered his acceptance speech when he was elected the nation’s first Black president in 2008. A 21-year-old college student told WMAQ-TV that he was the shirtless person in an image distributed by police when they were looking for a suspect. But police did not immediately say Tuesday if he's the person in custody. The man said he protesting President Donald Trump and not making a racist statement. “I did know about this historical relevance beforehand. But I didn’t know the severity, how racially motivated it may seem from what I did,” the man told the TV station. “Cause my protest has nothing to do with race, nothing to do with gender.” Cross burnings in the U.S. have historically been seen as symbols of hate and intimidation against Black people and have often been connected to the Ku Klux Klan. The Chicago Police Department's communications office confirmed that a person was in custody in connection with the case, but no other details were released. The man interviewed on WMAQ said he was protesting the “ruling class” and Christian nationalists who support Trump. He said he put a red MAGA hat on the cross.

Suspect In Deadly Shooting Of National Guard Troops Pleads Not Guilty To New Charges

WASHINGTON (AP) — A man accused of shooting two National Guard troops near the White House, killing one of them, has pleaded not guilty to charges in a new indictment. Those charges would him eligible for a possible death sentence if he is convicted. Afghan national Rahmanullah Lakanwal was arraigned Tuesday on charges of first-degree murder and 16 other counts in the new indictment. Lakanwal originally pleaded not guilty in January to charges in the November 2025 shooting that killed Spc. Sarah Beckstrom and critically wounded Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe. A grand jury in Washington originally charged Lakanwal in a nine-count indictment.

8 Dead After B-52 Plunges At Nearly A Mile A Minute Into Crash

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Limited tracking data shows that the B-52 involved in a deadly crash during a test flight at an Air Force base in California made a sharp right and then nearly completed a 180-degree turn before plunging to the ground at nearly a mile a minute. All eight people aboard were killed in Monday’s crash of the Boeing B-52 Stratofortress. It was taking part in a routine mission as part of an overall program to keep the long-running aircraft flying for decades to come. It’s not yet clear what caused the crash. Officials at Edwards Air Force Base said it could take up to six months to complete the investigation. The airfield remained closed Tuesday.

Former Louisville Police Officer Charged With Manslaughter In Fatal Shooting Of Naked Man

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — A former Louisville police officer who resigned last week was charged by a grand jury Monday with manslaughter for fatally shooting a naked man while responding to an alleged assault. The grand jury in Louisville also indicted Nathan A. Stotts on a charge of reckless homicide for the May 30 fatal shooting of 27-year-old Martin Nitzken Jr. Stotts encountered Nitzken after being called to a neighborhood on a report that three women had been assaulted, Louisville police said. Officers were told the suspect had no clothes on and was running down the street. On Stotts’ body camera footage released by Louisville police, the officer can be seen with his gun drawn walking toward a nude man sitting in the street. The man gets up and starts moving toward Stotts, who orders him to stop. The man continues to advance and the officer fires one shot. The man drops to his knees and doesn’t move as the video ends. Nitzken was pronounced dead at the scene. Police Chief Paul Humphrey said at a news conference earlier this month that Nitzken was “naked, stumbling and unarmed.” "Sometimes we have to make decisions to take people's lives, and this was not one of them," Humphrey said. He said he would have rather seen the officer use nonlethal force as the victim advanced toward him. Humphrey signaled that he would fire Stotts after the body camera footage was released earlier this month, but Stotts resigned. He joined the force in 2024. Commonwealth’s Attorney Gerina Whethers said in a media release Monday that the grand jury declined to charge Stotts with murder. The second-degree manslaughter charge carries a maximum prison sentence of five to 10 years and the reckless homicide charge has a maximum penalty of one to five years in prison. An attorney for Stotts could not be located in court records Monday. Louisville police said Monday in a statement that they “remain committed to transparency, accountability, and cooperation with all reviewing agencies.” “Because this matter is the focus of criminal and internal investigations, it is inappropriate to comment further,” the statement said. Louisville's police department has worked to repair its image with the public in recent years after the controversies that followed the fatal shooting of Breonna Taylor in her apartment in 2020. Earlier this year, a federal judge agreed to dismiss all charges against two former Louisville officers who helped craft the warrant that was used to enter Taylor's home before she was shot.

Primary Elections In Alabama, Oklahoma And Georgia Further Test Trump’s Influence

An endorsement from President Donald Trump is worth a lot in Republican primaries. But is it worth more than $100 million in Georgia? Can it propel a congressman past an insurgent outsider in Alabama? Can it transform a candidate into a front-runner in Oklahoma? Trump has been at the center of this year’s midterm campaigns, and his influence will be tested in different ways Tuesday as four states and the District of Columbia hold primaries. Among Democrats, the primaries will hinge on longstanding divides between progressives and moderates as the party tries to chart the best path forward to November.

Trump Invokes Defense Production Act For Munitions, Supply Chains

WASHINGTON, June 16 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump has invoked the Defense Production Act to address constraints in weapons supply and development for munitions production and supply chains, according to a memo made public on Tuesday. The move comes amid growing concern in Washington about the capacity of U.S. weapons manufacturers to meet demand. Solid rocket motors, igniters and guidance systems are among the most critical and capacity-constrained sub-systems needed for weapons production, both for legacy systems and future modernization programs. "I hereby find that conditions exist which may pose a direct threat to the national defense or its preparedness programs," Trump said in a June 11 memorandum to the Pentagon chief. He cited "limited production capacity, fragile supply chains, long-lead dependencies, and related production bottlenecks." The memo to the defense secretary delegates authority to pursue voluntary agreements with private industry aimed at shoring up the defense industrial base. The Defense Production Act allows the president or those granted authority to consult with representatives of industry, business, and other interests to establish voluntary agreements to help provide for the national defense, but only when conditions exist that may pose a direct threat.

G7 Leaders Express Optimism For Peace After Trump's 'Very Good' Zelenskyy Meeting

EVIAN-LES-BAINS, France, June 16 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said Russia should make peace with Ukraine after a "very good" meeting with President Volodymyr Zelenskiy on Tuesday, in comments that sparked cautious optimism among G7 leaders that a peace deal could be struck. The upbeat mood over the Ukraine war, now deep into its fifth year, stands in stark contrast to Zelenskiy's meeting with Trump in the Oval Office last year, when he was told he had no leverage in potential peace talks with Russia. Zelenskiy and his European allies came to this week's G7 summit in the French lakeside resort of Evian-les-Bains hoping to impress upon Trump that Ukraine's battlefield fortunes had improved thanks to its drone incursions deep into Russia. Trump, who arrived at the summit brandishing a preliminary deal to end his war with Iran, said he would do what he could do to end the conflict in Ukraine, but there were few details of any concrete steps to raise the pressure on Moscow. "Look, Russia should make a deal," Trump told reporters, adding that too many young men were dying on the battlefield on both sides. "I'm gonna do whatever I can." German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said Trump's statement that Russia should end the war was cause for cheer. "I found him to be very cooperative, and I also saw him listening very attentively," Merz told reporters. "And in that respect, once again, it gives me a certain degree of optimism that we here, as Europeans and as Americans, are now doing everything we can, together, to end the war." After the group meeting with Trump, Zelenskiy told Reuters that G7 leaders agreed that Russia was not winning the war. He said they also discussed additional sanctions targeting Russia's oil exports, its banking sector and its military production to bring Moscow to the negotiating table. Zelenskiy, who was due to have face-to-face talks with Trump later on Tuesday, said he had offered to meet Russia's Vladimir Putin at the G7 summit, but a Kremlin aide said that did not come up in a call between Trump and Putin. POSITIVE TALKS ON UKRAINE Two European diplomats said that, during the meeting, Zelenskiy showed Trump images of the aftermath of a Russian strike on Monday on Kyiv's Pechersk Lavra monastery. Trump expressed disapproval of the strike, one of the European diplomats said, while the other said that it had been "psychologically" a good move by Zelenskiy to show the images. European diplomats said the tone of the meeting had been constructive. But two of the diplomats said Trump had been noncommittal on imposing further U.S. sanctions on Moscow, as European leaders want. Trump told reporters Washington was now in a position to let Russian oil waivers lapse after an interim accord to end the Iran war soothed markets, but he did not address the question of broader punitive measures. European leaders have wanted to convince Trump that previous U.S. positions on the possible terms of a deal were overly favourable towards Moscow, particularly now that Ukraine's drone incursions into Russia have improved its fortunes. "The tide is turning for Ukraine," European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen posted on X. "Russia's fatigue is openly showing. That's the time to double down on our support." A French diplomat said G7 leaders committed to providing Kyiv with more air defence capabilities — a key priority for Zelenskiy as he grapples with increased civilian strikes from Russia. G7 TO EXAMINE HORMUZ SHIPPING PROBLEM European leaders were also set to warn Trump that an interim deal with Iran risks entrenching Tehran's nuclear and ballistic missile programmes. President Emmanuel Macron said the aim was to guarantee a "solid, serious agreement that is finalised". Tuesday's working lunch focused on the safe reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran largely closed at the end of February. Leaders also sought to identify alternative routes to bypass the waterway, which Trump said would be "completely open" on Friday. The interim deal should open a 60-day window for complex technical negotiations that would include the fate of Iran's stockpile of highly enriched uranium and the lifting of international sanctions. However, European allies fear an inexperienced U.S. negotiating team may fail to secure a robust nuclear agreement or address Iran's ballistic missile programme in the next phase, potentially creating a prolonged standoff. Trump said the deal stated "loud and clear" that Iran would not develop a nuclear weapon - something Iran has long denied seeking to do.
