In Maine, Bob Peck set out to witness and document immigration raids, until ICE agents confronted and threatened him. He wasn't arrested, but his lawsuit says the threat did its job: he stopped following and observing ICE. His lawyer says it's the first time a Maine legal observer has sued ICE officers under the Maine Civil Rights Act. And despite mounting concerns over the economy, inflation and the war in Iran, President Trump is pressing ahead with a growing list of vanity projects and personal side quests. According to sources familiar with the effort, his aides are exploring putting his name on Ford's Theatre, the historic site where President Abraham Lincoln was assassinated. Trump has denied the report.
