Closing summary
This concludes our live coverage of all the second Trump administration has wrought for the day, but we will be back on Wednesday. Here are the latest developments:
A federal judge in Portland, Oregon issued a temporary restraining order that bars federal officers from shooting or firing tear gas at nonviolent protesters and journalists outside an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in the city’s residential South Waterfront neighborhood.
Democrats in Congress heard emotional testimony from Luke and Brent Ganger, the brothers of Renee Good, a 37-year-old mother of three, who was shot dead by an Immigration, Customs and Enforcement (ICE) officer in Minneapolis on 7 January as she tried to drive away from agents.
Ilhan Omar, who represents Minneapolis in Congress, called for Kristi Noem, the homeland security secretary, to be fired or impeached.
Mitch McConnell, the Kentucky senator who turns 84 this month, reportedly checked himself into a hospital on Monday night “in an abundance of caution” after experiencing “flu-like symptoms”.
A federal judge in Portland, Oregon issued a temporary restraining order on Tuesday that bars federal officers from shooting or firing tear gas at nonviolent protesters and journalists outside an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in the city’s residential South Waterfront neighborhood.
Frustrated by her persistence in asking questions about Jeffrey Epstein during an Oval Office event he wanted to use to promote himself and his party, Donald Trump scolded the CNN correspondent Kaitlan Collins for supposedly not smiling enough in his presence.
Democrats on Capitol Hill offered apologies and promises of accountability on Tuesday amid often harrowing testimony from people who had experienced violent encounters with federal agents engaged in Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown.
With Republicans conspicuously absent, the forum of senators and representatives heard from Luke and Brent Ganger, the brothers of Renee Good, a 37-year-old mother of three, who was shot dead by an Immigration, Customs and Enforcement (ICE) officer in Minneapolis on 7 January as she tried to drive away from agents.
Luke Ganger said he and his brother were there “to ask for you help” and suggested the sense of loss his family felt had been deepened by subsequent events in Minneapolis, where a protester, Alex Pretti, also aged 37, was shot dead by two border patrol agents on 24 January.
“The deep distress our family feels at Renee’s loss in such a violent and unnecessary way is complicated by feelings of disbelief, distress and desperation,” he said.
“In the last few weeks, our family took some consolation, thinking that perhaps Nee’s death would bring about change in our country. It has not.”
