Trump admin lashes out at NYC, 2nd man arrested in customs officer shooting

The Trump administration lashed out Monday against New York City officials over their sanctuary policies as authorities arrested a second man living in the country illegally in connection with the shooting of an off-duty U.S. Customs and Border Protection officer. U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem called the two suspects, both from the Dominican Republic, scum of the earth. She said they'd accumulated lengthy criminal records in just a few years and should have never been free to commit Saturday's robbery-gone-wrong in a Manhattan park. Noem blamed the mayor and city council, nearly all Democrats, saying the people that were in charge of keeping the public safe refused to do so. Border czar Tom Homan, meanwhile, vowed the administration would flood the zone with Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents following the shooting. So sanctuary cities get exactly what they don't want: more agents in the community, he said alongside Noem and other officials during a news .

Alleged murderer of lawmaker could face death penalty, rarity for Minnesota

The man charged with killing a prominent Minnesota lawmaker and wounding another could face something that is a rarity for Minnesota but could become more common under the Trump administration: the death penalty. Minnesota abolished capital punishment in 1911, and the state's last execution was a botched hanging in 1906. But federal prosecutors announced charges against Vance Boelter on Monday that can carry the death penalty. It's not unheard of for state and federal prosecutors to both pursue criminal cases for the same offense, especially in high-profile matters. In this case federal authorities essentially grabbed the lead from the state prosecutor, Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty. Boelter had been scheduled to make his first court appearance on state charges Monday, but instead marshals took him from the county jail to the US courthouse in St Paul, where he appeared on the more serious federal charges. Boelter is accused of fatally shooting former Democratic House Speak

Police find vehicle linked to shooting of 2 Minnesota Democratic lawmakers

Authorities searched a vehicle on a rural road outside Minneapolis on Sunday that they believe had been used by the man wanted in the shootings of two Democratic lawmakers, as a state on edge struggled to make sense of the brazen political violence that left one leader dead. Former House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, were killed in their Brooklyn Park home early on Saturday. Senator John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, were injured at their Champlin home, about nine miles (about 15 kilometres) away. Authorities named 57-year-old Vance Boelter as a suspect, saying he wore a mask as he posed as a police officer, even allegedly altering a vehicle to make it look like a police car. More than 24 hours after authorities first confronted him outside Hortman's home, Boelter was still on the loose after fleeing on foot. The FBI issued a reward of up to USD 50,000 for information leading to his arrest and conviction. They circulated a photo taken on Saturday of Boelter wearing

Four additional victims have been identified in the Boulder attack in which a man is accused of throwing Molotov cocktails into a group that had gathered to bring attention to Israeli hostages in Gaza, authorities said Monday, bringing the number of injured to 12. The man planned the attack for more than a year and specifically targeted what he described as a Zionist group, authorities said in court papers charging him with a federal hate crime.
