🔵 Judge Block ICE
Citizen Frank
July 12, 2025
Good morning. It’s Saturday, July 12.
A federal judge has temporarily blocked the Trump administration from conducting immigration enforcement raids in Los Angeles.
Judge Maame E. Frimpong issued the ruling on Friday, blocking raids in seven California counties, including Los Angeles County.
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) filed the lawsuit last week, accusing immigration officials of using unconstitutional tactics in raids across the region, like racial profiling, excessive force, and denying detainees access to legal counsel.
President Trump announced Friday that he’s granting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents “Total Authorization” to arrest violent protesters following a chaotic California cannabis farm raid that resulted in rocks being hurled at federal law enforcement vehicles.
“I am on my way back from Texas, and watched in disbelief as THUGS were violently throwing rocks and bricks at ICE Officers while they were moving down a roadway in their car and/or official vehicle,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
“Tremendous damage was done to these brand new vehicles,” the president continued. “I know for a fact that these Officers are having a hard time with allowing this to happen in that it shows such total disrespect for LAW AND ORDER.”
Attorney General Pam Bondi has fired more than 20 Justice Department employees who worked on cases involving the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol and Donald Trump’s handling of classified documents, sources told Axios.
The firings are part of a massive purge aimed at clearing DOJ of attorneys and support staff who took part in Special Counsel Jack Smith’s prosecution of Trump for Jan. 6 and possessing classified documents unlawfully.
The new dismissals bring the total Smith-related firings to about 35.
A Texas man was arrested Thursday after allegedly making violent threats against President Donald Trump on Facebook ahead of the president’s visit to Kerrville, according to federal officials.
Robert Herrera, 52, of San Antonio, was charged with making threats against the president and interstate threatening communications, according to a news release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Texas.
The alleged threats were posted on a local news outlet’s Facebook page discussing Trump’s upcoming visit to the Hill Country after deadly Fourth of July flooding. The outlet has not been publicly identified by law enforcement.
President Donald Trump said Saturday the U.S. will impose a 30% tariff on goods from the European Union and Mexico that will take effect on Aug. 1.
Trump revealed the new rates in letters to European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum, which he posted on his social media site Truth Social.
“Mexico has been helping me secure the border, BUT, what Mexico has done, is not enough,” Trump wrote to Sheinbaum.
President Trump raged Saturday that he’s giving “serious consideration” to taking away comedian Rosie O’Donnell’s US citizenship, arguing his longtime nemesis is a “Threat to Humanity.”
“Because of the fact that Rosie O’Donnell is not in the best interests of our Great Country, I am giving serious consideration to taking away her Citizenship,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
O’Donnell, 63, moved overseas, to the Dublin suburb of Howth, in Ireland, with her 12-year-old child in January in response to Trump’s victory against Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election.
Kanye West has been accused of sexual battery and sex trafficking in a new amended complaint filed by his former assistant.
Lauren Pisciotta, who started working for West (aka Ye) in 2021 as an A&R during the making of his album “Donda” and eventually became his personal assistant, previously sued the rapper for wrongful termination and sexual harassment in June 2024. Now, in a second amended complaint obtained by Variety, she has alleged that West “orally raped her without her consent” and coerced her into complying with his sexual demands by making false promises about the advancement of her career.
The full list of accusations Pisciotta makes in the updated complaint includes hostile work environment — sexual harassment; assault; battery; sexual battery; sex trafficking; failure to prevent harassment, discrimination and retaliation; gender discrimination; stalking; false imprisonment; promissory estoppel; and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
