Top Trump administration immigration officials faced intense questioning on Capitol Hill Tuesday during a congressional oversight hearing sparked by the federal immigration crackdown in Minnesota and the recent shooting deaths of two Americans by federal officers. Acting Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director Todd Lyons, along with leaders from U.S. Customs and Border Protection and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, defended agency practices while taking sharp questions from lawmakers. Democrats criticized the controversial enforcement tactics, including ICE officers wearing masks during arrests, and called for greater accountability and reforms. The hearing marked the first session since the deadly confrontations in Minneapolis — where federal agents shot and killed Renee Good and Alex Pretti during Operation Metro Surge — igniting public outrage and nationwide debate over immigration enforcement inside American cities. Republicans largely supported the administration’s approach, emphasizing border security and the need for strong enforcement. Lawmakers also discussed concerns about a potential Department of Homeland Security funding shutdown as talks continue in Congress. The session highlighted deep partisan divides over the federal role in interior immigration operations and the broader direction of U.S. immigration policy.

Attorney General Pam Bondi is set to appear before Congress amid growing scrutiny over the Justice Department’s handling of files related to Jeffrey Epstein. Lawmakers are expected to question how sensitive victim information was exposed despite efforts to redact it. The hearing marks Bondi’s first appearance before Congress since a contentious session in October, when she repeatedly deflected Democratic criticism and responded with her own political attacks. Bondi faces a wave of criticism as additional Epstein-related documents were released, with victims calling the disclosures sloppy and incomplete. Congressional leaders say they will press the attorney general on what measures were taken to protect victim privacy and ensure proper oversight of the Justice Department’s handling of the case.

Instagram head Adam Mosseri is set to testify in court Wednesday over claims that the social media platform’s design is contributing to a mental health crisis among young people. The case involves a 20-year-old California woman who says she became addicted to Instagram as a teen because of features like the app’s “endless scroll,” which she says made it difficult to disengage. Mosseri’s testimony could have far-reaching implications for hundreds of similar lawsuits filed against social media companies across the U.S. Meta, Instagram’s parent company, said it “strongly disagrees” with the allegations and believes the evidence will show its commitment to supporting young users. The trial will examine internal company documents, with plaintiffs arguing that Meta was aware of potential harms to children. Experts have warned that social media design features can affect teens’ ability to disconnect, and countries including Australia, Spain, and France are considering regulations to limit access for children.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz says the federal immigration crackdown in his state could be winding down within days, not weeks or months, following recent talks with senior Trump administration officials, including border czar Tom Homan and White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles. Walz, a Democrat, spoke at a press conference where he repeated his stance that the surge of federal immigration agents — which has drawn criticism from local leaders and civil rights advocates — may soon conclude. He said he expects updates “in the next day or so” on the operation’s future and described the situation as a “trust but verify” phase. The crackdown — part of a larger federal operation that brought thousands of immigration officers into Minnesota — has sparked controversy and drawn scrutiny after deadly encounters between federal agents and local residents. Walz also emphasized the need for cooperation on joint investigations into the fatal shootings involving federal officers, a point of tension between state and federal authorities.

A federal grand jury in Washington, D.C., has declined to indict six Democratic lawmakers in connection with a video message they released urging U.S. military members to refuse “illegal orders,” according to people familiar with the matter. The Justice Department had opened an investigation into the video, which featured Senators Mark Kelly and Elissa Slotkin and four other Democratic members of Congress reminding service members to follow established military protocols and reject orders they believe to be unlawful. Grand jurors refused to sign off on charges against the lawmakers — all of whom previously served in the military or intelligence agencies — marking a rare rebuke of prosecutors in politically charged cases. The decision comes amid broader controversy over the government’s handling of the matter, which drew condemnation from some Democrats as an attempt to punish political opponents and sparked debate about free speech and military discipline. No charges have been filed, and it remains unclear if prosecutors will try again.

The Pima County Sheriff’s Department said in a statement Tuesday night that deputies detained an individual during a traffic stop south of Tucson.

The developments came just hours after the FBI released surveillance images showing a masked individual with a handgun holster standing outside Guthrie’s front door the night she disappeared.
