In response to a class action lawsuit alleging First Amendment violations, Judge Sara Ellis has mandated ICE agents wear body cameras during all enforcement activities and public interactions until November 6. This modification follows an initial temporary restraining order that restricted the use of riot control weapons against protestors and journalists, with specific requirements for warnings and opportunities to comply. Judge Ellis cited concerns about ICE compliance as the reason for the expanded order, particularly after reviewing reports of potential violations. Witnesses from ICE, including high-ranking officials, have been ordered to testify in court regarding these alleged breaches of the original order.

Former President Donald Trump has publicly called for Kentucky Representative Thomas Massie to be ousted from office in the 2026 midterms, citing his frequent opposition to MAGA administration proposals, particularly the “Big Beautiful Bill.” Trump also criticized Massie’s criticism of the administration’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case, claiming Massie polls poorly. In his statement, Trump endorsed Captain Ed Gallrein to challenge Massie in the primary and attached a photo of them together in the Oval Office. Massie, however, has not been deterred, as he continues to pursue transparency in the Epstein case, even working across party lines to demand the release of further investigative documents.
