The Justice Department sued California on Monday to block the implementation of two bills signed by Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom that would regulate the actions of federal agents carrying out immigration enforcement operations in the state. The laws, both signed by Newsom on September 20, block Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents from wearing masks or concealing their faces while on the job and require them to visibly display identification of their agency. The suit, filed in the Central District of California, argues that the laws violate the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution and endanger federal agents.  “The No Secret Police Act and No Vigilantes Act directly regulate the Federal Government by dictating permissible uniforms for federal agents and forcing federal agencies to adopt specified policies,” the suit said. “But the Federal Government, not California, has authority to control its own agents and activities.” Named in the suit are Newsom and California Attorney General Rob Bonta, another Democrat.  The suit argues that the laws would “recklessly endanger the lives of federal agents and their family members and compromise the operational effectiveness of federal law enforcement activities.” The Department of Homeland Security has said that ICE officers have faced a 1000% percent increase in assaults this year and has pointed to efforts to dox and threaten the families of ICE agents. In September, three women were charged after they were accused of following an ICE agent to his home before posting his home address to Instagram.  The Justice Department said that the federal government did not intend to comply with the laws, both of which take effect on January 1. The department argued that the laws would “thwart” the use of plainclothes surveillance. “Because suspects who recognize officers may take preemptive actions to evade apprehension and obstruct enforcement efforts, masking is critical for maintaining operational effectiveness, especially in areas where repeat offenders or organized criminal networks are prevalent,” the suit argued.  Bonta said he was reviewing the Justice Department’s complaint.  “It’s problematic when Californians can’t tell the difference between a law enforcement officer who is charged with protecting them and a criminal who is attempting to cause them harm,” Bonta’s office said in a statement. “The FBI itself has warned that the practice of ICE agents obscuring their identity has led to a rise in copycats committing crimes, threatening public safety and eroding trust in law enforcement.”

A trio of anti-Trump members of Congress will host alleged survivors of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein on Tuesday. Reps. Thomas Massie (R-KY), Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), and Ro Khanna (D-CA), all of whom are inveterate opponents of the president, are hosts. According to NewsNation, the press conference will “discuss next steps for Rep. Khanna and Rep. Massie’s bipartisan bill, the Epstein Files Transparency Act.” On Sunday night, President Trump noted on Truth Social that he encourages the release of all the Epstein files, writing: “As I said on Friday night aboard Air Force One to the Fake News Media, House Republicans should vote to release the Epstein files, because we have nothing to hide, and it’s time to move on from this Democrat Hoax perpetrated by Radical Left Lunatics in order to deflect from the Great Success of the Republican Party, including our recent Victory on the Democrat ‘Shutdown.’” “The Trump Administration has done more for the victims than Democrats ever have,” White House Deputy Press Secretary Abigail Jackson stated. “The Democrat Party did nothing about Epstein for years; they are only pretending to care about these victims now as they attempt to score political points against President Trump.” In February 2025, Massie was the sole Republican in the House to vote no on a budget blueprint that would advance Trump’s tax-cut and border/big-spending agenda (a “$4.5 trillion” plan) in a 217-215 vote. In March, Massie opposed a House stopgap spending bill/continuing resolution aimed at avoiding a government shutdown, which Trump supported. In June, Massie co-sponsored a war-powers resolution aimed at limiting the president’s authority to strike Iran without Congressional approval, against the Trump administration’s foreign-policy position. In June, he also he was one of only two Republicans to vote against the so-called “Great, Big, Beautiful Bill” (or similar bill) advanced by Republicans. On November 28, 2023, the U.S. House passed a resolution “reaffirming the State of Israel’s right to exist.” Massie cast the lone “nay” vote. In late May 2025, as Israel was at war with Hamas and Iran, Massie said the U.S. should “end all U.S. military aid to Israel now.” “Third Rate Congressman Thomas Massie, a Weak and Pathetic RINO from the Great Commonwealth of Kentucky, a place I love, and won big SIX TIMES, must be thrown out of office, ASAP!” Trump wrote on Truth Social earlier this month. After Trump launched a strike on Iran’s nuclear sites last May, Greene slammed him, saying, “We are entering a nuclear war—the World War, the World War III, because the entire world is going to erupt.” In October, she said his plan to import Argentine beef to lower prices was “a punch in the gut to all of our American cattle ranchers.” She also attacked the Trump administration’s immigration policies. Trump, noting Greene’s opposition, wrote last week, “It seemed to all begin when I sent her a Poll stating that she should not run for Senator, or Governor, she was at 12%, and didn’t have a chance (unless, of course, she had my Endorsement — which she wasn’t about to get!). She has told many people that she is upset that I don’t return her phone calls anymore, but with 219 Congressmen/women, 53 U.S. Senators, 24 Cabinet Members, almost 200 Countries, and an otherwise normal life to lead, I can’t take a ranting Lunatic’s call every day.” Khanna has accused Trump of “following Richard Nixon’s playbook to interfere with” the Federal Reserve. He criticized DOGE, saying, “It has really been disappointing and concerning to see the overreach and the unconstitutional actions.” He has mocked Trump’s foreign policy, declaring, “I think he is in the wrong century.”

One moment, a police officer was escorting Vice President JD Vance’s motorcade; the next, he was fighting for his life after a violent collision with a state trooper—a stark reminder of how quickly danger can strike, even in the shadow of national power. Motorcade Tragedy in Maryville: Duty Collides with Danger A routine Friday evening transformed into a harrowing ordeal for Maryville Police Officer Justin Brown, assigned to Vice President JD Vance’s protection detail. While escorting the motorcade on East Lamar Alexander Parkway at Merrit Road, Brown’s motorcycle collided with a Tennessee Highway Patrol SUV at 6:11 p.m. The impact left Brown critically injured and exposed the risks officers face, even in the most scripted security operations. https://twitter.com/TheTNHoller/status/1989802908079329787 Eyewitnesses, some of whom were just passing by, rushed to render aid, offering vital first response before paramedics arrived. Their swift intervention bought crucial time, and Chief Tony Crisp of Maryville Police publicly praised these citizens as “true heroes.” Brown was airlifted to the University of Tennessee Hospital, where he underwent emergency surgery. According to police statements, he remains in critical condition with significant injuries, and his road to recovery is expected to be long and uncertain. Public Response: Outpouring of Support, Unanswered Questions Maryville Police Chief Tony Crisp reported a flood of support from across Tennessee, with hundreds sending messages, emails, and prayers. The department, deeply moved, acknowledged the emotional impact the incident had had on its ranks and the wider community. Brown, well-known locally through his CrossFit involvement, received encouragement from fitness peers and residents alike, all rallying around his family in hopes of his recovery. Despite the outpouring of support, the specifics of the crash remain under investigation by the Tennessee Highway Patrol. The trooper involved was evaluated at the scene and did not require hospitalization. Authorities have released no further details about the cause of the collision, and Vice President Vance’s office has yet to comment publicly. The silence leaves lingering questions about safety protocols and the unpredictable hazards of motorcades, even in smaller American towns. https://twitter.com/unlimited_ls/status/1990463977336258854 The Human Toll of High-Profile Security Officer Brown’s ordeal is a stark reminder of the unseen risks officers bear while protecting public figures. Security details often operate with military precision, but unpredictable factors—split-second decisions, traffic variables, or miscommunications—can upend even the most meticulous planning. For every dignitary whisked safely to an event, there are professionals like Brown whose vigilance comes at great personal risk. The incident also highlights the broader debate about the adequacy of training and inter-agency communication during high-security events. While federal and state agencies regularly coordinate these operations, this collision underscores that even the most experienced teams are vulnerable to split-second mishaps. As the community waits for answers, many hope the investigation will yield insights to prevent such tragedies in the future. https://twitter.com/mjfree/status/1989871031129980993 Community Resilience and the Road Ahead Brown’s slow but steady improvement has become a focal point for hope in Maryville and beyond. Chief Crisp’s updates on Brown’s progress—however incremental—are met with relief and gratitude from supporters. The CrossFit Pistol Creek community, among others, continues to champion his recovery efforts, spotlighting both his athletic achievements and his dedication as an officer. The crash’s aftermath has galvanized discussion about the sacrifices law enforcement officers make and the importance of community readiness in emergencies. The resilience shown by local citizens and Brown’s fellow officers reflects a shared commitment to service and recovery, even as the final chapter of this story remains unwritten. As the investigation continues, Maryville—and the nation—watches, waiting for both answers and healing.
