A federal appeals court upheld the Trump administration's mass detention policy, allowing for the detention of illegal immigrants without bond, while in Minneapolis, over 40 anti-ICE agitators were arrested during a protest. These events occurred amidst other news, including a fake social media post attributed to former President Donald Trump and a fire-juggling unicyclist disrupting traffic in Colorado.
The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled 2-1 on Friday that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) could lawfully deny bond hearings to immigrants arrested nationwide under the Constitution and federal immigration law, according to Fox News. Attorney General Pam Bondi reacted to the ruling, stating the Department of Justice (DOJ) "secured yet another crucial legal victory."
In Minneapolis, at least 42 anti-ICE protesters were arrested on Saturday outside the Bishop Henry Whipple Federal Building, Fox News reported. The protest followed a memorial for Minneapolis residents Renee Good and Alex Pretti, who were fatally shot by federal agents last month. Footage showed agitators shouting insults at state patrol officers, tearing down police tape, and hurling objects at law enforcement.
Meanwhile, a fake post designed to look as if it were from President Trump's social media feed spread widely online over the weekend, according to the New York Times. The post appeared to describe Mr. Trump's rationale for deleting a racist video he shared earlier in the week. Posts on X circulating the forgery reached at least 3.7 million views by Saturday.
In other news, a fire-juggling unicyclist was caught on camera blocking traffic in Commerce City, Colorado, Fox News reported. The Commerce City Police Department shared drone footage of the incident, which occurred near a busy intersection. Police said the performer was trespassing in the roadway.
White House border czar Tom Homan mocked anti-ICE agitators who set up roadblocks and checkpoints in Minneapolis as a "joke," according to Fox News.
