ICE accuses Dem lawmaker of joining ‘rioting crowd’ in Arizona, interfering in mass arrest

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on Wednesday accused Rep. Adelita Grijalva, D-Ariz., of joining a “rioting crowd” and attempting to interfere with agents during a mass arrest operation last week. The accusation came after Grijalva claimed she was “pushed aside and pepper sprayed” during an immigration raid on Dec. 5 in Tucson, an account ICE flatly rejected. “During the operation, U.S. Representative Adelita Grijalva joined the rioting crowd and attempted to impede law enforcement officers, then took to social media to slander law enforcement by falsely claiming she was pepper sprayed,” ICE said in a statement. Fox News Digital has reached out to Grijalva’s office for comment. JUDGE REJECTS REP. LAMONICA MCIVER’S BID TO TOSS ASSAULT CASE, SAYS HER ACTIONS HAD ‘NO LEGISLATIVE PURPOSE’ ICE and its federal partners arrested 46 illegal immigrants during the operation, the result of a “multiyear investigation into a transnational criminal organization involved in labor exploitation, tax violations, and immigration violations,” the agency said. ICE said “over 100 agitators” arrived at one of the locations it searched and “attempted to impede law enforcement operations.” “Agitators quickly turned violent, assaulting officers and slashing tires,” ICE added. DEM-BACKED ‘DIGNITY’ BILL COULD STRIP ICE OF DETENTION POWERS, ERASE IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT, CRITICS WARN In a post on X on Friday, Grijalva said she was “pushed aside and pepper sprayed” after seeking information from officers during ICE’s operation near the Taco Giro restaurant. “ICE just conducted a raid by Taco Giro in Tucson — a small mom-and-pop restaurant that has served our community for years,” Grijalva wrote. “When I presented myself as a Member of Congress asking for more information, I was pushed aside and pepper sprayed.” Grijalva also called ICE a “lawless agency” that is “operating with no transparency, no accountability, and open disregard for basic due process” in a separate X post. MANHUNT UNDERWAY AFTER FEDERAL AGENTS TAKE GUNFIRE AS RIOTERS RAM VEHICLES, HURL DEBRIS IN CHICAGO Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin immediately disputed Grijalva’s account, saying she was never directly sprayed but merely in the “vicinity of someone who was.” “If her claims were true, this would be a medical marvel,” McLaughlin said. “But they’re not true. She wasn’t pepper sprayed. She was in the vicinity of someone who was pepper sprayed as they were obstructing and assaulting law enforcement.” ICE said two people in the crowd were arrested – one for assaulting a federal law enforcement officer and another for damaging a government vehicle. Two Homeland Security Investigation Special Response Team operators were also injured. When reached for comment, DHS referred Fox News Digital to ICE’s statement on the operation. ICE did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Trump rips Indiana GOP leader over redistricting fight, warns Republicans could face ‘MAGA primary’

President Donald Trump lashed out at Indiana state Senate leader Rodric Bray on Wednesday, accusing the Republican lawmaker of undermining the party’s chances of expanding its House majority through a proposed redistricting plan now stalled in the state legislature. In a lengthy Truth Social post, Trump said Indiana has “a chance to make a difference in Washington, D.C.” by approving a congressional map that would give Republicans two additional House seats. The president claimed every other state “has done Redistricting, willingly, openly, and easily,” and warned that Indiana could become “the only State in the Union to turn the Republican Party down!” Trump accused Bray of “being the only person in the United States of America who is against Republicans picking up extra seats,” saying he is pressuring “soon to be very vulnerable friends” to vote with him. REPUBLICAN GOVERNOR SIGNS INTO LAW TRUMP-BACKED CONGRESSIONAL REDISTRICTING MAP Trump argued that blocking the map would put “the Majority in the House of Representatives… at risk” and warned that Republicans who oppose the plan would be “met with a MAGA Primary in the Spring.” The president also charged that Bray and several allies were “partner[ing] with the Radical Left Democrats,” and he singled out “Failed Senate Candidate Mitch Daniels” while claiming the group had become “the favorite Republicans of Hakeem Jeffries, Crazy Nancy Pelosi, and Cryin’ Chuck Schumer.” “Anybody that votes against Redistricting, and the SUCCESS of the Republican Party in D.C., will be, I am sure, met with a MAGA Primary in the Spring,” Trump wrote, adding that Republicans who “will not do what is necessary to save our Country” risk “los[ing] everything to the Democrats.” TRUMP TURNS UP THE HEAT ON RED-STATE REPUBLICANS BLOCKING NEW CONGRESSIONAL MAPS Trump shared his repeated electoral success in Indiana, saying he won the state “six times, all by MASSIVE Majorities,” and argued that approving the map should be “a great thing to do for our Party, and for America itself.” He warned that Bray “and his friends won’t be in Politics for long,” vowing to “do everything within my power to make sure that they will not hurt the Republican Party, and our Country, again.” Trump also blasted what he described as Republican “SUCKERS” assisting Democrats in the redistricting fight, saying the opposing faction “couldn’t be happier” to find GOP lawmakers willing to break ranks. The clash comes as both parties look toward the 2026 midterms, with Republicans holding a narrow House majority and Democrats targeting several competitive districts nationally. The White House, Bray and Indiana Senate Democrats did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
Trump administration establishes militarized zone in California: “Strengthen border security operations”

The Trump administration announced Wednesday plans to establish a new militarized zone along the U.S.–Mexico border in California. The Department of the Interior said roughly 760 acres in San Diego and Imperial Counties will be placed under Navy jurisdiction to “strengthen ongoing border security operations.” Adding the installation will effectively allow federal personnel to detain suspected illegal immigrants for trespassing on U.S. territory. The department described the National Defense Area as a high-traffic corridor for illegal crossings. The zone will reportedly stretch from the western boundary of the Otay Mountain Wilderness Area to about one mile west of the California–Arizona state line, with Navy control set for three years. FEDERAL MAGISTRATE JUDGE DISMISSES TRESPASSING CHARGES AGAINST 98 ARRESTED IN NEW MILITARY ZONE Interior Secretary Doug Burgum said the move directly advances what President Donald Trump has identified as his top national priorities. “President Trump has made it clear that securing our border and restoring American sovereignty are top national priorities,” Burgum said. “This action delivers on that commitment. By working with the Navy to close long-standing security gaps, we are strengthening national defense, protecting our public lands from unlawful use, and advancing the President’s agenda to put the safety and security of the American people first.” ‘MAIN HOTSPOT’ AT NORTHERN BORDER RECORDS 95% DROP IN ILLEGAL MIGRANT APPREHENSIONS IN MARCH: WHITE HOUSE The Department added that the corridor’s heavy traffic of illegal crossings has contributed to both “significant national security challenges” and environmental degradation. Militarizing the area will reportedly “enhance border operations while minimizing ecological damage” associated with sustained illegal activity. The Interior Department said it coordinated the move with the Navy to ensure it is lawful and consistent with the land’s original purpose — having been reserved in 1907 by President Theodore Roosevelt for border protection. In recent months, the administration has established several national defense areas, including sites in Texas, Arizona and New Mexico. The moves were made to aggressively expand military authority along the southern border, including deploying federal troops and expanding rules to crack down on illegal migration, border security and overall crime. Fox News Digital reached out to the Department of Interior and the Navy for more information.
