FOX 24 US Federal employees involved in the massive operation that led to a surge of deportations and detentions around Minneapolis in recent months have received a souvenir from the controversial mission. A federal worker provided TPM with images of a challenge coin that was given to employees from various government agencies at the B.H. Whipple Federal Building Minnesota, which holds a detention center and has served as a headquarters for ICE agents and others involved in the controversial Minneapolis operation, which was dubbed “Metro Surge.” The commemorative token includes portraits of President Donald Trump and a person who appears…

FOX 24 US President Donald Trump fired off an extraordinary Truth Social tirade on Thursday directed at some right wing commentators who have broken ranks over their concerns about his war in Iran. Trump’s post, which was 482 words long, called out ex-Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, conspiracy theory broadcasters Alex Jones and Candace Owens, and the former Fox News hosts Megyn Kelly and Tucker Carlson.  “They have one thing in common, Low IQs. They’re stupid people, they know it, their families know it, and everyone else knows it, too!” Trump declared in the post, which extensively featured non-standard grammar and…

FOX 24 US Experts have for months been telling TPM that any vote by Congress to fund President Donald Trump’s war in Iran could end up being construed under the law as a passive approval by the legislature of a war it did not greenlight — as has happened with past conflicts. And as Republicans tee up votes on various aspects of war funding, Democrats are sounding the alarm. Rep. Sara Jacobs (D-CA), a member of the House Armed Services Committee, told reporters on Thursday she thinks providing money for the ongoing Iran war — which the Trump administration waged…

FOX 24 US House Democrats on Thursday tried to rein in the Trump administration’s unauthorized Iran war while the House is on their two-week Easter break. A group of House Democrats — including Reps. Don Beyer (D-VA), Suhas Subramanyam (D-VA), James Walkinshaw (D-VA), Mary Gay Scanlon (D-PA), Madeleine Dean (D-PA), Glenn Ivey (D-MD), Sara Jacobs (D-CA), and Emily Randall (D-WA) — attended the House’s pro forma session Thursday morning in an attempt to pass a war powers resolution with unanimous consent. The effort failed when the member presiding over the session as speaker pro tempore, Rep. Chris Smith (R-NJ), ignored…

FOX 24 US Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy has maintained that the target of his war on fluoride is ingested fluoride — specifically that from fluoridated drinking water and oral supplements. But the misinformed policy efforts to ban community water fluoridation and restrict access to fluoride supplements are having spillover effects in dentists’ offices.  Twenty years ago, as a pediatric dental resident in Iowa City Donald Chi had his  first encounter with a family that did not want a topical fluoride treatment for their child. At the time, these patients were rare, but not unheard of. Today,…

FOX 24 US The U.S. Department of Labor has proposed a rule designed to make it harder to sue retirement plan fiduciaries that invest in risky, more volatile assets. The rule is also President Donald Trump’s administration’s latest giveaway to the Trump family’s favorite industry: Cryptocurrency. Drawing on Trump’s August 2025 executive order titled, in part, “Democratizing Access to Alternative Assets,” the Labor Department rule highlights a non-exhaustive list of six such investments, including private credit, real estate, and cryptocurrency. To protect retirement plan agents and managers who choose to include these riskier products in their 401(k) offerings, the proposed…

FOX 24 US Chris Taylor, the Democratic-backed candidate for Wisconsin’s state Supreme Court, is projected to defeat Maria Lazar, the Republican-backed candidate, expanding the Court’s liberal majority, per CNN and NBC News. As NBC notes, Taylor’s win represents the fourth straight victory for Democratic-backed candidates in the state’s high court elections. The outcome is in keeping with polls over the last few months, which consistently showed Taylor running ahead of Lazar, as well as Taylor’s fundraising and ad spending advantage over Lazar throughout the campaign cycle. That, coupled with liberal candidates’ double-digit victories in the last three state Supreme Court…

FOX 24 US President Donald Trump’s latest escalation of threats against Iran has further exposed growing rifts on the far-right. On Tuesday morning, Trump used his Truth Social platform to suggest he will launch a devastating attack against Iran this evening unless the country makes a deal with him.  “A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will,” Trump said, adding, “However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS?…

FOX 24 US After a run-in with the police that ended in his arrest, Andry’s husband was supposed to be released from a New York jail in November 2024. Instead, he was transferred into ICE’s custody. The couple had come to the United States 18 years ago from the Dominican Republic. Her husband was incarcerated for all of last year. In December, Andry (who asked not to use her last name to protect her family) seemed to catch a break: an immigration judge granted her husband bond, the only way to get out of immigration detention. The decision was far…

FOX 24 US Data shared earlier this week by U.S. Customs and Border Protection suggests the smallest and most vulnerable importers are being left behind in the early stages of the tariff refund process.  After the Supreme Court overturned most of President Donald Trump’s tariffs, which the president issued under the International Economic Emergency Powers Act, or IEEPA, Judge Richard Eaton of the Court of International Trade mandated that the federal government repay American importers for tariffs collected under the statute. CBP wrote in an early March court filing that there were about 330,000 importers eligible for a slice of…
