Things are heating up fast in the Middle East.

The State Department just announced it’s pulling diplomats out of Iraq as tensions with Iran spike — and all signs point to a major showdown.

This comes hours after President Trump went on record saying he’s ā€œless confidentā€ in a nuclear deal with Tehran, calling Iran’s demands ā€œunacceptable.ā€ 

Now, the U.K. is warning commercial ships in the region to prepare for escalation, and Iran’s defense minister is openly threatening American bases.

Trump wants peace through strength. He knows oppressive regimes like Iran only understand force.

Hey Team! šŸ˜Ž

President Trump is once again demonstrating his decisive leadership by restoring order to Los Angeles. As new protests emerge in cities across the country, the his administration's swift response has sent a clear message to agitators that lawless disruption of immigration enforcement and destruction of American communities will not be tolerated under his watch.

Simultaneously, as tensions escalate in the Middle East with Iran issuing direct threats against American military bases, President Trump is taking proactive measures to safeguard our citizens and servicemen overseas. His multi-front strategy to confront these dangers, from domestic riots to international diplomacy, are evidence of the bold leadership America needs during these turbulent times.

Check out all the latest developments and more below!

āš–ļø Trump Targets LA Rioters with Hobbs Act Charges
The Trump administration announced plans to charge rioters and looters involved in the Los Angeles anti-ICE riots under the Hobbs Act, a 1946 federal law targeting interference with interstate commerce. Attorney General Pam Bondi stated that the Justice Department will seek up to 20-year prison sentences for those who engaged in violent acts, such as burning businesses and blocking freeways, during the unrest that began on June 6th. The decision follows the deployment of 2,000 National Guard troops and 700 Marines to quell the riots, which erupted over ICE raids targeting immigrants with criminal records. The FBI is investigating a possible ā€œcriminal conspiracyā€ behind the violence, with Bondi emphasizing that the charges aim to deter further lawlessness. The move has sparked debate, with some Democratic leaders like Representative Adam Schiff arguing it escalates tensions, while the administration insists it’s necessary to restore order.

šŸ›”ļø Trump Evacuates Mideast Embassies
The United States has initiated the evacuation of non-essential personnel from its embassies and military bases in the Middle East, including Iraq, Kuwait, and Bahrain, due to heightened security risks as nuclear talks with Iran falter. President Trump ordered the drawdown, citing the potential for conflict as Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei remains firm on continuing uranium enrichment, rejecting U.S. demands for a complete halt. U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff is still scheduled to meet Iran’s Foreign Minister in Oman on June 15, 2025, though a source indicates the sixth round of talks may be postponed. The U.S. Central Command chief canceled planned Senate testimony, signaling the gravity of the situation, while Iran has warned of potential strikes on U.S. bases if negotiations collapse. Reports suggest Israel is preparing for a possible attack on Iran’s nuclear sites, adding to regional tensions as the U.S. bolsters its defensive posture.

šŸ’¼ Trump Shifts Job Growth to Native-Born Americans
President Trump has reversed Biden-era policies that saw migrants gain over 4.7 million jobs while native-born Americans added only 645,000, prioritizing employment for U.S. citizens. New executive actions focus on tightening immigration enforcement, including stricter visa vetting and increased deportations, to redirect job opportunities to Americans. The Labor Department reports a surge in native-born employment, with 300,000 new jobs created for Americans in key industries like manufacturing and construction since January 2025. President Trump’s policies aim to address the 1.5 million visa overstays inherited from Biden, ensuring economic benefits favor American workers. The administration’s approach has drawn support from 58% of Americans, according to a recent poll, as it seeks to bolster domestic labor markets.

šŸ›”ļø Trump’s Golden Dome Moves Forward
President Trump’s ā€œnext-generationā€ missile defense initiative, dubbed the ā€œGolden Dome,ā€ is gaining traction as the U.S. confronts growing threats from adversaries like China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea. The plan prioritizes advanced technologies, including space-based sensors and hypersonic interceptors, to counter sophisticated missile systems, with a proposed $175 billion investment over 10 years. On Tuesday, House Republicans launched a caucus to be an "educational clearinghouse" as the policy effort for the dome kicks off. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth emphasized the need to close gaps in current defenses, citing Russia’s nuclear-capable hypersonic missiles and China’s expanding arsenal. The administration announced plans to integrate private-sector innovation, with SpaceX and Lockheed Martin among potential contractors, to accelerate deployment. Congress is set to review the plan later this month, with bipartisan support growing despite concerns over costs and potential arms race risks.

Police move to enforce an 8 p.m. curfew in downtown Los Angeles, after it went into effect on Tuesday. Mayor Karen Bass declared a curfew for the 1 square mile in which protests have been centered.

šŸ”” Trump Restoring Order in Los Angeles šŸ””

The Los Angeles riots, sparked by Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids targeting 118 immigrants with criminal records, have been labeled an ā€œinsurrectionā€ by Republican lawmakers like Representative Nancy Mace, who criticized Governor Gavin Newsom and Mayor Karen Bass for downplaying the violence. The Trump administration’s Department of Justice, led by Attorney General Pam Bondi, is now charging rioters under the Hobbs Act, a 1946 law targeting interference with interstate commerce, with potential 20-year prison sentences for acts like burning businesses and blocking the freeway.

The Department of Homeland Security released a video showing ICE agents arresting a suspect accused of assaulting a Border Patrol officer, highlighting the administration’s aggressive response to the unrest that began on June 6th. Missouri Senator Josh Hawley announced an investigation into the funding of the riots, suspecting external groups like the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights may be involved, amid claims of a ā€œcriminal conspiracy.ā€ DHS also launched a tip line on Wednesday, encouraging citizens to report illegal immigrants, framing it as a patriotic duty to support federal efforts during the crisis.

In Los Angeles, the riots have caused significant disruption, with protesters setting cars ablaze, defacing government buildings, and shutting down major roads. The city imposed a downtown curfew on Tuesday, resulting in the quietest night of the week, with 48 arrests made for curfew violations and looting. Los Angeles County Supervisor Kathryn Barger explained the four-day delay in instituting the curfew was due to necessary preparations, including coordinating with law enforcement. The deployment of 2,000 National Guard troops and 700 U.S. Marines, ordered by President Trump, has been credited with reducing violence, though clashes involving tear gas and rubber bullets persist. The FBI continues to investigate, with one ICE agent hospitalized after an assault, underscoring the dangers faced by federal officers.

Meanwhile, anti-ICE protests have spread to other cities, notably New York City, where 36 activists were arrested outside Trump Tower for blocking traffic and chanting anti-deportation slogans. Similar demonstrations occurred in Texas, San Francisco, and Chicago, where a car drove through a crowd of protesters, exposing the nationwide scope of the unrest. These protests, often involving foreign flags like Mexico’s, have fueled Republican arguments that the riots threaten national sovereignty. In Florida, leftist groups vowed solidarity with Los Angeles, planning additional rallies against ICE enforcement.

Political reactions are sharply divided, with Democrats like Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez dismissing the Los Angeles rioters as ā€œteens throwing rocksā€ and blaming President Trump’s immigration policies for inciting the violence. Newsom falsely claimed the riots only began after Trump federalized the National Guard, a statement debunked by evidence showing unrest predated the deployment. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi described the riots as driven by ā€œexuberance,ā€ while Senator John Fetterman broke ranks and criticized Democrats for failing to condemn the violence.

Trump, speaking to The New York Post, called for an automatic one-year jail sentence for rioters burning American flags and vowed consequences for those waving foreign flags, emphasizing his commitment to law and order. The White House rejected Newsom’s injunction to withdraw the National Guard, with a federal judge upholding Trump’s authority on Tuesday.

President Trump’s swift deployment of federal forces, coupled with the DOJ’s use of the Hobbs Act, appears to be slowing down the Los Angeles riots, as evidenced by the curfew’s success and reduced violence over the past two days. The administration’s multifaceted approach - combining military presence, legal action, and public engagement through the DHS tip line - has further stabilized the situation, allowing ICE to resume its critical deportation operations. These actions demonstrate Trump’s firm committment to restore order and protect American communities from mob rule, despite ongoing Democratic opposition and nationwide protests.

The apology, posted on X on Tuesday, followed a late-night call with Trump, signaling a potential de-escalation of their feud over the ā€œBig Beautiful Bill.ā€ Musk’s retraction aims to mend ties with the administration, with Trump responding positively, suggesting a renewed partnership to advance national goals.

šŸ’‰ The FDA, under Commissioner Marty Makary, is implementing AI to drastically accelerate the drug and medical device approval process, reducing review times from days to minutes. A pilot program demonstrated AI completing a scientific review in six minutes, prompting plans for agency-wide adoption by July 1st. The initiative aims to cut bureaucratic delays, lower costs for developers, and expedite access to critical medications for Americans.

šŸ—½ President Trump has launched the "Trump Card" program, allowing wealthy foreign nationals to pay $5 million for a fast-tracked path to U.S. citizenship, with a website opened on Tuesday, for applicants to join a waitlist. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick stated the initiative could generate $1 trillion for the U.S., targeting ultra-rich immigrants while the administration pursues mass deportations of illegal entrants. The program requires applicants to create 10 U.S. jobs and meet vetting requirements, though specific eligibility details remain undisclosed.

šŸ‘®ā€ā™‚ļø Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents arrested more than 70 illegal immigrants at Glenn Valley Foods, a meatpacking plant in Omaha, Nebraska, during a targeted raid. The operation, part of a broader crackdown on illegal labor, led to the detention of individuals from Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador, many with prior immigration violations. An ICE agent was injured during the raid after being struck by a suspect’s vehicle, prompting further investigation by Homeland Security.

šŸ’° Senators Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) and Peter Welch (D-Vt.) introduced legislation to raise the federal minimum wage from $7.25 to $15 per hour, with annual increases tied to inflation. The bill aims to provide a living wage for low-income workers, with Welch emphasizing that $7.25 is insufficient for basic needs like housing and food. Hawley, breaking from traditional GOP skepticism, argues the increase supports hardworking Americans, though some Republicans remain concerned about small business costs.
