The wife of suspected political assassin Vance Boetler is being detained and questioned after police recovered a weapon, cash and passports in her car during a traffic stop on Saturday morning. Federal and state law enforcement agencies are continuing to search for the gunman accused of gunning down Democratic–Farmer–Labor Party (DFL) Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, and wounding State Senator John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette.

Jenny Boetler was stopped by police while driving in a car with several relatives near Onamia, Minnesota, late Saturday morning around 10 a.m., local outlet KTSP reported. A witness reported seeing about a dozen law enforcement vehicles converging on the scene, where they stayed for more than three hours.

Sources told the outlet that the vehicle contained a weapon, ammunition, cash and passports. The report further stressed that no arrests have been made and that the vehicle’s occupants are only being detained for questioning as of this report.

Clashes broke out near the ICE field office in Tukwila after activists, including Antifa and anti-ICE demonstrators, surrounded the building and barricaded exits.

Seattle was the site of widespread unrest on Saturday as “No Kings” protests across the country escalated into violence, with demonstrators in the city targeting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations and assaulting a journalist.

Clashes broke out near the ICE field office in Tukwila, a suburb of Seattle, after activists, including Antifa and anti-ICE demonstrators, surrounded the building and barricaded exits. The protest came after ICE reportedly issued a last-minute call for illegal immigrants to appear at the office for immigration matters. Demonstrators attempted to block ICE vehicles from leaving the facility with detainees.

As ICE and Homeland Security personnel began removing detained illegal immigrants from the building, activists swarmed federal vehicles to prevent them from leaving. In response, federal and local law enforcement deployed tear gas and crowd control munitions to disperse the crowd. ICE vehicles ultimately broke through the barricades and left the area. Several arrests were made during the confrontation.

Arturo Gamboa, the man charged with murder after a deadly shooting at Salt Lake City’s “No Kings” protest, appears to be a self-described anti-government radical who publicly supported Antifa.

Arturo Gamboa, the man charged with murder after a deadly shooting at Salt Lake City’s “No Kings” protest, appears to be a self-described anti-government radical who publicly supported Antifa, rejected the US electoral system, and once said justice should be taken “by any means necessary,” a Facebook page with the same name from Utah reveals.

While Gamboa did not fire the shot that took the life of 39-year-old Arthur Ah Loo, police say his armed and threatening behavior sparked the confrontation, says the Salt Lake Tribune.

Witnesses say Gamboa appeared at the protest wearing a gas mask and carrying an AR-15-style rifle in a backpack. He allegedly emerged from behind a wall and began running toward the crowd with the rifle raised.

A designated “peacekeeper” at the event, wearing a high-visibility vest, opened fire with a handgun—striking Gamboa and inadvertently hitting Ah Loo. The victim was rushed to the hospital, where he died from his injuries. Gamboa sustained a minor wound, was treated, and booked into the Salt Lake County Jail on murder charges. The peacekeeper who fired the shots is cooperating with authorities.

Democrat Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass stated Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that she found the city’s anti-Trump “No Kings” protest on Saturday to be “overwhelmingly peaceful” while observing the situation from the comfort of a helicopter.

Protests and riots have been ongoing in downtown Los Angeles since June 6, leaving the area filled with vandalism, burnt Waymo cars and looted stores. As Los Angeles had its own installment of the national “No Kings” protests on Saturday, Bass described how she had spent time in a helicopter “in search” of the 700 Marines that President Donald Trump deployed to the city to restore order on Monday.

“I have to say that yesterday I spent time in the helicopter, so I went all over the city in search of these Marines. And I’m sorry, but I just didn’t see them. What the troops are doing, the Federalized National Guard, is protecting the federal building,” Bass said.

“I think that detention that happened was an isolated incident, and I believe it was outside of the city of Los Angeles, but I do want to dispel the notion that the military is here,” Bass added. “We don’t want them here. They don’t need to be here. Our local law enforcement have complete control of this situation.”

In addition to the Marines being deployed, Trump had called in 2,000 National Guard members to downtown Los Angeles on Saturday, with Bass and Democrat California Gov. Gavin Newsom criticizing the decision. (RELATED: How Well-Funded, Organized Leftists Helped Jumpstart LA Riots)

Backed by nearly 200 groups with billions of dollars in collective resources, the No Kings protests on June 14 aimed to reignite defeated Democrats by mobilizing them against President Donald Trump. Yet, the rallies fell flat, with over 98% of Americans staying home, revealing a discouraged progressive base struggling to find footing.

No Kings’ organizers touted the nationwide rallies as a triumph, celebrating a turnout of about five million, according to the unconfirmed best estimates of the American Civil Liberties Union.

‘Today’s protests are a resounding message that people across the nation will not be intimidated by President Trump’s fear tactics.’

However, against the backdrop of such immense investments, the attendance revealed the left’s widespread protest fatigue and lack of direction, with most Americans paying little attention to the gatherings.

No Kings aims to mobilize 3.5% of the U.S. population. However, its well-funded and meticulously organized Saturday protests reached just under 1.5% by its own estimates.

President Donald Trump used his Truth Social account on Sunday to send an exhortation to members of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to focus on deep blue urban areas that shelter illegal immigrants.

Trump noted the headwinds facing ICE as agents perform their work.

“Our Nation’s ICE Officers have shown incredible strength, determination, and courage as they facilitate a very important mission, the largest Mass Deportation Operation of Illegal Aliens in History,” Trump wrote.

“Every day, the Brave Men and Women of ICE are subjected to violence, harassment, and even threats from Radical Democrat Politicians, but nothing will stop us from executing our mission, and fulfilling our Mandate to the American People,” he added.

Trump then said that despite everything already accomplished, much more remains to be done.

… For example, in Salt Lake City, shots were fired during the “No Kings” protest. In Portland, things escalated into full-blown riots after demonstrators attacked federal officers stationed at the ICE facility—prompting a response of tear gas and non-lethal rounds. And in Los Angeles, despite the chaos elsewhere, Mayor Karen Bass still insisted the “No Kings” protests were “overwhelmingly peaceful.”

“I will tell you, 30,000 people were downtown LA. There were protests in 15 different locations in our city. I flew over each one of them, and they were overwhelmingly peaceful,” Bass told CNN’s Dana Bash. “It’s not shocking that at the end of a protest that you’re going to have some confrontation. Of course, I wish there was none at all, but I don’t think that characterized the day at all,” Bass said. “I mean, otherwise, more than five people would have been arrested.”

(The Center Square) – Legislative attorneys are meeting with the speaker of the North Carolina House of Representatives to determine the next steps for a lawmaker who promoted a sign reflecting pursuit of the decapitation of President Donald Trump.

Speaker Destin Hall, R-Caldwell, spoke about the acts by Wake County Democratic Rep. Julie von Haefen in a statement Sunday evening. Members of Congress from coast to coast also weighed in as the news went viral.

“Her disgraceful behavior fails to meet the standards expected from House members and sets a dangerous precedent in an already volatile political climate,” Hall said in part. “I am examining next steps with our legislative attorneys to ensure this behavior does not continue.”

The state’s first-term Democratic Gov. Josh Stein, the North Carolina Democratic Party and the Democratic National Committee remained silent Monday morning, about 48 hours since the post first appeared.

The Center Square reached out to von Haefen’s office on Sunday at 2:51 p.m. At 3 p.m., she posted an explanation to her Facebook page. Increasing calls for her resignation followed, including the House speaker’s statement about three hours later.

A person shot and killed an innocent bystander during a “No Kings” protest in Salt Lake City, Utah on Saturday.

The person suspected of being a protest “peacekeeper” fired his weapon three times after Arturo Gamboa, 24, pulled out a rifle from his backpack. The incident occurred around 8 p.m. on Saturday when Gamboa, who was marching in the protest, stepped off to the side near a wall and pulled out a rifle. Two supposed peacekeepers in vests confronted Gamboa before shooting at him, inflicting a minor injury on Gamboa and also fatally striking Arthur Folasa Ah Loo, 39, a fashion designer from Samoa. Ah Loo later died at the hospital.

Gamboa was arrested on a murder charge for his actions, which led to Ah Loo’s death. The peacekeepers, who were asked not to bring weapons, are cooperating with authorities in the investigation. Sarah Parker, a national coordinator for the 50501 Movement and a partner for the “No Kings” protest, said the peacekeepers likely prevented a mass casualty event.

“Our safety team did as best as they could in a situation that is extremely sad and extremely scary,” said Parker.

The masked man on the motorcycle, the one who waved a Mexican flag in front of a torched car as Los Angeles police stood by, will soon be famous. His identity remains unknown, his image iconic – but for all the wrong reasons.

Republicans will replay the clip again and again in campaign ads ahead of the midterms.

“This lawlessness is exactly what Americans rejected in 2024,” said Michael Whatley, chairman of the Republican National Committee. “While Democrats sow chaos, Republicans stand as the party of law and order.” President Trump is delivering on his campaign promise to crack down on illegal immigration, Whatley told RealClearPolitics, and ahead of the midterms, his party “will continue to run on this winning message and finish the job for the American people.”

As National Guard were being deployed to quell violence in California, Republicans were mobilizing to capture and catalog video of looting, rioting, and violence. One RNC official told RCP they were struggling to capture the flood of content coming across cable news.

“It was just non-stop,” they said. “There was so much.”

That content from the LA riots will soon provide fodder for the contrast Republicans hope to paint in November of next year, illustrating the failed immigration policies they allege California Gov. Gavin Newsom now embodies. For his part, Newsom blames Trump for inflaming an already “combustible situation.”

Excerpt:

More than four dozen Marines refused to abandon their post as hundreds of protesters in front of the federal building in downtown Los Angles chanted in unison for them to go home.

The soldiers bad been dispatched early in the week by President Donald Trump along with the National Guard to help quell violent riots that broke out last week over Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations to arrest and deport criminal illegal aliens in the city.

According to reporting by Reuters, Los Angeles attorney Jesus Arias spearheaded Sunday’s confrontation, wielding a bullhorn as he tried to convince the Marines to leave.

“We are not your enemy, we are the people!” Arias shouted through the bullhorn. “You are breaking the oaths you took to be Marines. Wake up! Wake up!”

The large crowd protesters nearby were not so polite. Fifteen feet away from the Marines a crowd chanted, “Marines go home!” and “Shame! Shame!”

President Trump said Sunday that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) must expand efforts in America’s largest cities to detain and deport illegal aliens, focusing on sanctuary cities.

“Our Nation’s ICE Officers have shown incredible strength, determination, and courage as they facilitate a very important mission, the largest Mass Deportation Operation of Illegal Aliens in History. Every day, the Brave Men and Women of ICE are subjected to violence, harassment, and even threats from Radical Democrat Politicians, but nothing will stop us from executing our mission, and fulfilling our Mandate to the American People,” Trump said on Truth Social.

“In order to achieve this, we must expand efforts to detain and deport Illegal Aliens in America’s largest Cities, such as Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York, where Millions upon Millions of Illegal Aliens reside. These, and other such Cities, are the core of the Democrat Power Center, where they use Illegal Aliens to expand their Voter Base, cheat in Elections, and grow the Welfare State, robbing good paying Jobs and Benefits from Hardworking American Citizens,” he added.

Our Nation’s ICE Officers have shown incredible strength, determination, and courage as they facilitate a very important mission, the largest Mass Deportation Operation of Illegal Aliens in History. Every day, the Brave Men and Women of ICE are subjected to violence, harassment, and even threats from Radical Democrat Politicians, but nothing will stop us from executing our mission, and fulfilling our Mandate to the American People. ICE Officers are herewith ordered, by notice of this TRUTH, to do all in their power to achieve the very important goal of delivering the single largest Mass Deportation Program in History.

In order to achieve this, we must expand efforts to detain and deport Illegal Aliens in America’s largest Cities, such as Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York, where Millions upon Millions of Illegal Aliens reside. These, and other such Cities, are the core of the Democrat Power Center, where they use Illegal Aliens to expand their Voter Base, cheat in Elections, and grow the Welfare State, robbing good paying Jobs and Benefits from Hardworking American Citizens. These Radical Left Democrats are sick of mind, hate our Country, and actually want to destroy our Inner Cities — And they are doing a good job of it! There is something wrong with them. That is why they believe in Open Borders, Transgender for Everybody, and Men playing in Women’s Sports — And that is why I want ICE, Border Patrol, and our Great and Patriotic Law Enforcement Officers, to FOCUS on our crime ridden and deadly Inner Cities, and those places where Sanctuary Cities play such a big role. You don’t hear about Sanctuary Cities in our Heartland!

I want our Brave ICE Officers to know that REAL Americans are cheering you on every day. The American People want our Cities, Schools, and Communities to be SAFE and FREE from Illegal Alien Crime, Conflict, and Chaos. That’s why I have directed my entire Administration to put every resource possible behind this effort, and reverse the tide of Mass Destruction Migration that has turned once Idyllic Towns into scenes of Third World Dystopia. Our Federal Government will continue to be focused on the REMIGRATION of Aliens to the places from where they came, and preventing the admission of ANYONE who undermines the domestic tranquility of the United States.

To ICE, FBI, DEA, ATF, the Patriots at Pentagon and the State Department, you have my unwavering support. Now go, GET THE JOB DONE! DJT

Excerpt:

As White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt noted, over 300 illegal aliens have been arrested in LA since the violent anti-ICE riots began on June 6. Over 100 of these illegal alien criminals had a rap sheet.

While Trump and his administration continue to receive backlash for bringing in troops to handle the rioters and illegal aliens, it appears Democrats have forgotten that another leader called in the National Guard to deal with illegal aliens in recent years. When this occurred, there was no outrage.

A report from the New York Post published in September of 2022 claims that then-Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker (R) activated the National Guard to deal with the “humanitarian crisis” that occurred when 50 illegal aliens were flown to Martha’s Vineyard by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R).

The residents of Martha’s Vineyard flew off the handle about this. In a short amount of time, the illegal aliens were sent to Cape Cod.

…Such a moment happened with Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) when she uttered the now-immortal words: “Don’t believe what you see.” She meant it. And it tells you everything you need to know about the mind of the modern social justice politician.

Let’s set the scene. Fires rage across Los Angeles. A man stands triumphantly on a car, waving a Mexican flag, while other cars burn around him. The air is thick with smoke and shattered glass. You don’t need a Ph.D. in criminal justice to conclude that this isn’t a peaceful gathering of concerned citizens asking to debate policy.

And yet, speaking in the midst of smoldering chaos, Waters and her fellow Democrat officials — Governor Gavin Newsom, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass — chant the same refrain: There’s nothing to see here.

Waters, attempting to rewrite reality in real time, gave us this gem:

Even those who were out of step with what we are advocating — peaceful protest — did not create any violence. Nobody was shot. Nobody was killed. … I was on the street, I know … talking to people about what happened. … Don’t just rely on what you’ve been told or the few incidents that you saw.

An innocent bystander who was shot during a “No Kings” protest in Utah has died, police said Sunday.

The victim, identified as Arthur Folasa Ah Loo, was shot during the Saturday protest, which attracted around 10,000 people, and died later that night, Salt Lake City Police Chief Brian Redd said.

“Our victim was not the intended target,” said Redd, who added that Ah Loo, 39, was just participating in the march.

Redd said Ah Loo was mistakenly shot by one of two event peacekeepers in neon vests who opened fire after a suspect, identified as Arturo Gamboa, 24, ran toward the crowd with a rifle.

They saw Gamboa pull out a rifle before raising it in a firing position before moving toward a crowd of protesters, Redd said. One of the men in the vests fired three times, striking Gamboa and the victim, who later died.

Two immigrants who escaped the Delaney Hall Detention Facility in Newark, New Jersey, were recaptured by authorities Friday.

Last week, unrest at the immigration detention center resulted in four detainees escaping. Authorities with the FBI did not publicize the renewed detention of the two recaptured immigrants until Sunday. It also remains to be seen how they were captured. The final two remain at large as of Monday morning.

Detainees were protesting the center’s conditions because they were reportedly denied food. While the immigrants inside the center demonstrated by pushing over a wall and hanging bed sheets, protesters were outside the facility and prevented a facility vehicle from following the detainees as they escaped.

The two who were recaptured were Joel Enrique Sandoval-Lopez from Honduras and Joan Sebastian Castaneda-Lozada from Colombia. Sandoval-Lopez is facing charges of unlawful possession of a handgun and aggravated assault from two separate instances. Castaneda-Lozada has charges of burglary, theft, and conspiracy against him.

Franklin Norberto Bautista-Reyes from Honduras and Andres Felipe Pineda Mogollon from Colombia have not been found. The FBI is offering a $10,000 reward for information that leads to their capture. Bautista-Reyes is charged with aggravated assault, attempt to cause bodily injury, terroristic threats, and a weapons crime. Pineda Mogollon is facing charges of minor larceny and burglary.

Republican governors are flexing their muscles ahead of anti-Trump “No Kings” protests set for this weekend, telling protesters to “think twice” before considering echoing recent strains of violence found in Los Angeles.

The governors of South Carolina, Texas, and Utah have issued warnings against violence ahead of the protests on Saturday. In the wake of California riots and attacks on authorities that broke out in reaction to Trump’s immigration agenda, the Republican leaders said similar acts of violence in their states will be met with a swift response from law enforcement.

Gov. Henry McMaster (R-SC) said on Tuesday that he would put South Carolina on an elevated sense of alert “if it’s necessary.” His comments came hours after South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson issued a statement saying his office is aware of potential “coordinated protests and acts of civil disobedience” planned for Saturday, adding that protestors who attack law enforcement, destroy property, or endanger lives will be prosecuted “to the fullest extent of the law.”

“If people want to protest and want to voice their opinion, that’s fine. But when you start destroying property, scaring people, hurting people that’s when law enforcement swings into action,” McMaster said. “I would urge people who want to cause trouble in our state to think twice because this is not the place to cause trouble. You will be held accountable.”

Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX) revealed that the Texas National Guard would be deployed across the Lone Star state to quell possible violence, while Gov. Spencer Cox (R-UT) also had a message to send protestors: “Just a word of warning to anybody who is thinking about any type of violence or chaos or property damage or vandalism,” he said during a news conference.

“It will not happen here, and you will be held accountable,” Cox said. “We are going to be overprepared.”

The House Committee on Oversight and Reform is about to focus its investigative powers on Neville Roy Singham, the pro-China Marxist multimillionaire behind many of the destructive far-left demonstrations plaguing the United States in recent years.

The Committee is reportedly issuing a formal document request to Singham over his alleged financial support of the Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL)—an extremist Marxist group that has been helping to organize violent anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles and elsewhere.

As the main funder of The People’s Forum, Singham, 71, has also bankrolled the “Free Palestine” protests that erupted after 1,400 innocent Israelis were slaughtered by Hamas on October 7, 2023. The People’s Forum works closely with other organizations in Singham’s network, including PSL and the ANSWER Coalition, all of which have been involved in the anti-Israel protests and anti-ICE riots.

PSL describes itself as a revolutionary socialist party that believes “only a revolution can end capitalism and establish socialism.”

The group supports the Communist Party of China (CCP) and argues that “militant political defense of the Chinese government” is necessary to stave off “counterrevolution, imperialist intervention and dismemberment.”

As part of their national anti-Israel mobilization efforts, ANSWER and PSL have promoted slogans such as “Intifada revolution” and “resistance is justified.”

In an effort to deter lawless behavior, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is meeting violent acts with serious charges.

Emiliano Garduno-Galvez, an illegal alien from Mexico, has been charged with attempted murder for allegedly heaving a Molotov cocktail at law enforcement during the Los Angeles riots, according to a statement from the DHS.

We will not bend the knee to lawlessness and acts of violence.

ICE agents arrested Garduno-Galvez on Monday, June 9, in Los Angeles, after pinpointing him as the individual suspected of assaulting law enforcement officers with an incendiary device on Saturday, June 7.

In a social media post, DHS shows Garduno-Galvez’s mugshot and a video of a man in a hooded sweatshirt and black mask standing near a tree with a Molotov cocktail in the grass, ready to be deployed. He flicks the lighter on and produces a flame in his hand for a moment.

The masked man is with a group of other young men as law enforcement officers walk toward them in a group. The man walks toward the end of a solid fence, and moments later the now flaming Molotov cocktail is thrown from behind the fence in the direction of law enforcement. It fell to the ground, striking no one, and continued to burn on the ground.

On June 9, 2025, ICE agents in Los Angeles arrested Emiliano Garduno-Galvez—an illegal alien from Mexico—for attempted murder after he threw a Molotov cocktail at law enforcement during the Los Angeles riots.

Last night marked the 5th day of riots in Los Angeles, allegedly against recent Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers arresting and deporting illegal immigrants in the area. But so far, the media have only criticized President Trump and ICE. They have come up with their own theories, their own grievances, and as usual, pushed their narrative against the President and one of his most popular policies. Do you know who might have a better idea of why there are protests and riots? Maybe the protesters and rioters!

Greg Gutfeld pointed to this exact issue yesterday, arguing that the media knows they will make ‘better’ arguments than the protesters, and they would like to keep it that way. He said, “They know the protesters are the worst spokesmen for the protest.”

An extensive street interview by an independent journalist and YouTuber, Nick Shirley, exposed what many of the protesters think, and their reasoning is worse than what Democrat officials and legacy media are saying. Many of the protesters are fighting because California is on “stolen land,” and therefore, ICE can’t deport those here illegally, because we are all here illegally. Huh? Some others don’t even know why they are participating, and just came out to show support. Many others, as seen in footage spreading across the internet, are participating in case an opportunity to get away with looting arises.

The Justice Department told a federal court on Wednesday that it should not grant a request from Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) to block President Donald Trump‘s use of troops to quell violence in Los Angeles, saying the claims of Newsom’s lawsuit are “baseless.”

California officials had filed a lawsuit in federal court on Monday against Trump’s use of the National Guard and Marines in Los Angeles to protect federal property amid protests, some of which turned violent, over immigration raids. Newsom and California Attorney General Rob Bonta asked District Judge Charles Breyer to issue a temporary restraining order quickly on Tuesday, but Breyer instead set a hearing for Thursday to consider the motion.

In a filing to the court Wednesday, the DOJ argued California officials were attempting to stop the president “from exercising his lawful statutory and constitutional power to ensure that federal personnel and facilities are protected.”

“There is no rioters’ veto to enforcement of federal law,” the DOJ said in its filing. “And the President has every right under the Constitution and by statute to call forth the National Guard and Marines to quell lawless violence directed against enforcement of federal law. Yet instead of working to bring order to Los Angeles, California and its Governor filed a lawsuit in San Francisco seeking a court order limiting the federal government’s ability to protect its property and officials.”

“The extraordinary relief Plaintiffs request would judicially countermand the Commander in Chief’s military directives – and would do so in the posture of a temporary restraining order, no less. That would be unprecedented. It would be constitutionally anathema. And it would be dangerous,” the DOJ added.

President Trump spoke to reporters at Joint Base Andrews on Tuesday upon returning to Washington after his speech at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, where he addressed the ongoing insurrection in Los Angeles and his ongoing fight with local officials. 

As The Gateway Pundit reported, the President has deployed the National Guard and 700 Marines to stop the insurrectionists and foreign invaders wreaking havoc on California.

California’s Democrat Governor Newsom and failed Democrat LA Mayor Karen Bass have blamed the feds for the violence and filed a lawsuit against the President’s use of federal troops.

After disembarking Air Force One, President Trump told reporters that if he didn’t send federal troops in, “Los Angeles would be burning down right now, just like the houses burned down,” in reference to the wildfires earlier this year.

When asked if he thinks anything can go wrong by involving the military, the President responded, “it can only go right. By having the military, it de-escalates.” He continued, “These people are agitators, they’re troublemakers, I believe many of them are paid. I watched them breaking up the sidewalks with a big hammer, handing pieces of the concrete to other people.”

The U.S. is evacuating some diplomatic staff from its embassy in Iraq Wednesday, and allowing families and dependents of diplomats in Bahrain and other locations to return to the U.S., as negotiations with Iran stall.

Breitbart News reported earlier Wednesday that President Donald Trump had said he was “much less confident” about the prospect of an Iran nuclear deal, after several weeks of sounding bullish about talks.

The Times of Israel reported:

The US State Department confirms that it is evacuating some of its staff from its embassy in Iraq.

In addition, US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has authorized the voluntary departure of military dependents from locations across the Middle East, a US official said. Another US official said that it was mostly relevant to family members located in Bahrain — where the bulk of them are based.
