🔵 Trump Sues LA
Citizen Frank
June 30, 2025
Good morning. It’s Monday, June 30.
The Trump administration is suing the city of Los Angeles, Mayor Karen Bass and the City Council, it was announced Monday.
According to the lawsuit, filed in the Central District of California, the administration is suing over LA’s “sanctuary city” policies, alleging in federal court that the ordinance violates the Constitution by “thwarting” immigration enforcement.
The lawsuit contends that the sanctuary laws — in which local law enforcement officials refuse to assist immigration enforcement efforts — are illegal, and expressly designed to “obstruct the federal government’s enforcement of federal immigration law and impede consultation and communication between federal, state, and local law enforcement officials that is necessary for federal officials to carry out federal immigration law and keep Americans safe.”
Canada has walked back on its digital services tax “in anticipation” of a mutually beneficial comprehensive trade arrangement with the United States, Ottawa announced Sunday night, just one day before the first tax payments were due.
The move comes after U.S. President Donald Trump announced over the weekend that he will be “terminating ALL discussions on Trade with Canada” in response to Ottawa’s decision to impose a digital services tax on American tech firms.
“Today’s announcement will support a resumption of negotiations toward the July 21, 2025, timeline set out at this month’s G7 Leaders’ Summit in Kananaskis,” Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said in the statement.
The sniper who shot dead two firefighters in an ambush in Idaho was identified by officials Monday as 20-year-old Wess Roley — and an eerie photo shows him aiming a sinister glare into the camera.
Roley’s body was found near his weapon at the scene of a fire he started Sunday afternoon to lure the unsuspecting smoke-eaters to the scene, a law enforcement official told the Associated Press.
He ended up killing two responding firefighters and critically wounding a third, authorities said. It is unclear whether Roley was eventually killed by a cop’s bullet or took his own life, Kootenai County Sheriff Robert Norris told reporters at a press conference.
The Supreme Court on Monday agreed to take up a Republican-led challenge to U.S. campaign finance restrictions that limit the amount of money that political parties can spend on behalf of certain candidates.
The case, National Republican Senatorial Committee v. Federal Election Commission, was originally appealed to the court by the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC), the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC), and on behalf of two Senate Republican candidates running for election at the time — among them, now-Vice President JD Vance.
It centers on whether federal limits on campaign spending by political parties run afoul of free speech protections under the First Amendment of the Constitution.
The Senate clerks completed the full reading of the Senate GOP’s massive tax and spending bill on Sunday afternoon, allowing the chamber to start the countdown clock toward a final vote on the package sometime on Monday.
Democrats, in an attempt to delay passage of the bill, forced the clerks to read aloud all 940 pages of the package, an endeavor that clocked in at 15 hours and 55 minutes and ended shortly after 3 p.m. EDT.
“I objected to stop Republicans moving forward on their Big, Ugly Bill until they read every single word of it to the American people,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) wrote on the social platform X on Saturday night.
In a new fatwah which appears clearly aimed at the United States, Israel, and their respective leaders Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu, a top Iranian Shia cleric has called on Muslims to take vengeance as Islamic ‘warriors’.
Ayatollah Naser Makarem Shirazi, a longtime prominent Shia religious authority, said in the new edict that any individual or government that threatens or assaults the the leaders of the Islamic Republic of Iran, and the Shia nation’s religious authority in an effort to harm the ‘Islamic Ummah’ and its governance is considered an enemy of Islam, or one who wages war against God.
Grand Ayatollah Makarem was reportedly responding in the edict to question put forward by his followers is as follows.
The State Department has officially revoked the visas for Bob Vylan, the British rap duo who went viral over the weekend after leading a chant at England’s annual Glastonbury Music Festival that called for the death of Israeli soldiers.
A senior State Department official confirmed to The Daily Wire that the visas were revoked on Monday, ahead of the duo’s roughly twenty-city tour through the United States, with performances planned in several major cities, including Washington, D.C.
“The @StateDept has revoked the US visas for the members of the Bob Vylan band in light of their hateful tirade at Glastonbury, including leading the crowd in death chants. Foreigners who glorify violence and hatred are not welcome visitors to our country,” Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau wrote on X.
