Trump proposes $1.5 trillion military budget for 2027

President Donald Trump has proposed a $1.5 trillion budget for the U.S. military in 2027, marking a significant increase in defense spending. The proposal aims to expand military capabilities, modernize equipment, and boost readiness across all branches of the armed forces. White House officials say the plan will strengthen national security and maintain U.S. military dominance globally, while critics warn it could exacerbate the federal deficit and divert funds from domestic programs. The budget proposal is now under review by Congress, where lawmakers will debate funding levels, priorities, and potential adjustments before final approval.

States sue Trump administration over freeze of safety net funds

Attorneys general in California, Colorado, Minnesota, Illinois, and New York have filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration after it froze billions in federal aid for low-income families. The states say the action is an unconstitutional overreach that ignores funds approved by Congress. The lawsuit seeks to force the release of money for programs including child care subsidies, temporary cash assistance, and social services grants. Officials warn the freeze harms vulnerable families and challenges state authority to implement federal programs.

Fatal ICE shooting sparks state-federal clash

A fatal shooting by a federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer in Minneapolis has triggered a tense clash between state and federal authorities. Minnesota officials are demanding a full, independent investigation, but federal authorities have blocked the state from participating. Experts say the dispute underscores a longstanding legal question: whether a federal agent can face state criminal charges while carrying out federally authorized duties. The case comes as the federal government has increasingly deployed ICE agents across the country for immigration enforcement.

Five Republican Senators Side With Democrats In Rare Rebuke of Trump

The U.S. Senate voted 52–47 on Thursday to advance a resolution that would bar President Donald Trump from taking further military action against Venezuela without congressional authorization, marking a rare bipartisan pushback against the president’s expanding military posture in the region. Five Republicans joined all Democrats in supporting the measure, which now heads toward a final vote next week. The resolution follows a dramatic U.S. operation in Caracas that resulted in the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, an action that sparked concern among lawmakers about whether Congress was adequately informed. President Trump criticized the Republican senators who supported the resolution, saying in a social media post that they “should never be elected to office again.” Supporters of the measure argue it reinforces Congress’s constitutional role in authorizing military action. Opponents say the operation that captured Maduro was a law enforcement action and that Trump remains within his authority as commander in chief. Even if approved by the Senate, the resolution faces long odds. It would need to pass the Republican-controlled House and overcome an expected presidential veto, requiring a two-thirds majority in both chambers.

Deadly Mormon church shooting stemmed from dispute at funeral

Investigators say the shooting outside a Mormon church in Salt Lake City that killed two people and injured six others stemmed from a dispute between individuals who knew each other and were attending a funeral.

2 people shot by federal agents in Portland

U.S. federal agents shot two people in Portland, Oregon, who were subsequently taken to hospital, police said on Thursday afternoon while urging the local community to remain calm after heightened tensions following a separate shooting a day earlier in Minneapolis. "Two people are in the hospital following a shooting involving federal agents," Portland police said in a statement. "We understand the heightened emotion and tension many are feeling in the wake of the shooting in Minneapolis, but I am asking the community to remain calm as we work to learn more," police chief Bob Day said. Police said they was not involved in Thursday's shooting. The FBI said it was probing the shooting in which the U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents were involved. "Their (people who were shot) conditions are unknown. Officers have determined the two people were injured in the shooting involving federal agents," Portland police said in their statement. Portland City Council President Elana Pirtle-Guiney was cited by an ABC News affiliate as saying that as far as she knew they were still alive. "FBI Portland is investigating an agent involved shooting that happened at approximately 2:15 pm near the 10000 block of Main St. in Portland," FBI Portland said on social media. Further details on the circumstances of the shooting in Portland were not immediately clear. On Wednesday, a U.S. Immigration agent's fatal shooting of a 37-year-old mother of three in Minneapolis drew condemnation from local officials and sparked widespread protests in Minnesota and beyond.

Was the ICE Shooting Justified?

Protesters Call For ICE To Leave Minneapolis

Minneapolis is on edge following the fatal shooting of a woman by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer taking part in the Trump administration’s latest immigration crackdown. Protesters gathered Thursday outside of a federal building that’s serving as a major base for the operation. They shouted “No More ICE” and other as Border Patrol officers pushed them back, doused them with pepper spray and fired tear gas. With tensions boiling since the unidentified ICE agent shot Renee Good in the head, Minneapolis canceled the rest of the school week as a precaution. Minnesota's governor demanded the state be allowed to take part in the investigation. But Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said Minnesota authorities “don’t have any jurisdiction.”

Denmark, Greenland envoys meet White House officials over Trump's 'takeover' call

Denmark and Greenland’s envoys to Washington have begun a vigorous effort to urge U.S. lawmakers as well as key Trump administration officials to step back from President Donald Trump’s call for a “takeover” of the strategic Arctic island. Denmark’s ambassador and Greenland’s chief representative to Washington met on Thursday with White House National Security Council officials to discuss a renewed push by Trump to acquire Greenland, perhaps by military force. That word comes from Danish government officials who weren't authorized to comment publicly and spoke on the condition of anonymity.
