The economy is on Trump’s agenda as he visits Newsom’s turf in California
Donald Trump is visiting California and Nevada to promote his economic, border-security and crime policies ahead of the November elections, while attacking Democratic leaders including California Governor Gavin Newsom. His economic message is challenged by low public confidence, high costs for essentials, elevated interest rates and gasoline prices, tariffs, and a national housing shortage. Nevada Democrats are seeking to link Trump and Governor Joe Lombardo to local problems such as housing scarcity and rising energy demand.

ICE should do traffic stops despite recent shootings, Trump says, seeming to oppose new suspension
Donald Trump urged Immigration and Customs Enforcement to continue conducting vehicle stops despite a newly ordered suspension following a series of fatal shootings. The recent incidents included the killing of Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero in Maine and other deaths involving encounters with immigration officers in Houston and Florida, prompting renewed criticism of ICE’s tactics. Lawmakers from Maine pressed for a transparent investigation as questions mounted over the circumstances of the latest shooting, which was not captured on body cameras. Federal agencies, including the DHS inspector general and the FBI, are reviewing the case amid broader scrutiny of the administration’s enforcement approach.
