Trump shouts out the parents of one of the newly fallen troops who are in the crowd, then abruptly pivots: "Together we are making our country safer and stronger and far more successful than it has ever been before. That's why I call it the Golden Age."

🚨BREAKING: ICE agents blocked in a U.S. citizen’s car… and then threatened to arrest her for not moving. In the video, a U.S. citizen was sitting in a public parking lot when ICE agents pulled up directly in front of her car, and blocked her from leaving. Then, they accused HER of “impeding” them. She told them she literally couldn’t move because THEY had blocked her in. The agent said they would back up… and if she didn’t move, “that’s your chance.” Her response… “My chance for what?” The agent then cited “18 USC 111,” a federal law that makes it a crime to forcibly assault, resist, oppose, impede, intimidate, or interfere with certain federal officers while they are performing their official duties. But, the law is not a magic phrase that allows federal agents to arrest anyone who annoys them. The statute includes a forcible-act requirement. Sitting in a public parking lot is not “impeding” a federal officer. So, she asks… “How am I impeding you when you just pulled up in front of my car?” The agent then yelled: “Move your car or it’s over!” She told him they couldn’t move. He started yelling, “Back up, or you are under arrest. We aren’t playing anymore.” She responded… “Well, you can’t arrest me.” While she backed up. The agent gets mad and… while walking next to her car as she was backing up… replied, “Yes I can. Try me.” This is an absolutely insane abuse of power. The government cannot create the circumstances that make it impossible for you to leave, accuse you of “impeding” them, because you cannot leave, and then threaten to arrest you for not doing the impossible. Because that is coercion, and it’s illegal. And the most terrifying part is… this is how ICE agents are trained to operate. They create confusing, threatening situations where people don’t even know if they are being lawfully detained, if they are free to leave, or if they are about to be arrested for simply existing in the wrong place. And then the government expects people to calmly trust that everything they are doing is legal. Which is exactly why constitutional protections exist. Because “I’m a federal agent” is not a magic phrase that makes your constitutional rights disappear.

Q: You argue that Iran violated the MOU. But isn't the MOU flawed since it explicitly acknowledges Iran has power in the Strait of Hormuz? MARCO RUBIO: That's certainly not the way we interpreted it
