A deadly school shooting occurred in Minnesota, and the families of parents whose children passed away demanded a ban on semi-automatic rifles and high capacity magazines. A weapon like this was what was responsible for the death of 2 children, and the injury of 17 others at a Catholic school. National change is requested for tighter restrictions on the selling of firearms by Democrats. Republicans seem to want to improve mental health resources and school safety by contrast.

The Fed isn’t just another government agency that switches polarities with every new administration. It is, by law and tradition, independent and stridently nonpartisan. The current chair, Jerome Powell, is so allergic to partisan politics he wears a purple tie in public appearances to avoid even the suggestion of a preference for red or blue. The reason for the bank’s special status has to do with its central function of setting the benchmark interest rates for the nation’s financial system.

In Ellabell, Georgia, a huge-scale ICE raid took place at a currently being constructed Hyundai factory. This factory, which was set to be 100% complete by the end of this year, is deemed "the largest industrial investment in the state's entire history," which would result in a very large plus for the state's economy. In the raid, around 450 people were detained and arrested, a large portion being, but not limited to, South Korean. As comes obvious, this halted or, at the very least, largely slowed down the project's completion date, which, yes, would hurt/slow the increase of the state's economy. The raid was part of the Trump Administration's "war" on immigration.

Whether it's wanted to be seen or not, this is, at plain view, not good. Arresting these individuals-- people actively working, paying taxes, and attempting to just live like the rest of us-- hurts nothing but *us* and *our* economy (Obviously hurts the immigrants themselves, too). Do we consider these people-- as said earlier; people actively working, paying taxes, and attempting to just live like the rest of us-- dangerous criminals? Like we would gang members and the cartel? The fact is, simply put, no. It's only hurting us.

Hundreds of workers at a factory being built in Georgia to make car batteries for Hyundai and Kia electric vehicles were detained in a massive raid by Immigration and Customs Enforcement ( Ice) on Thursday that stopped construction.

The facility is part of what would be the biggest industrial investment in the state's history and had been hailed as a huge boost for the economy by Georgia's Republican governor, Brian Kemp.

At least 450 people were arrested, according to the Atlanta office of the US justice department agency, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

However the Korea Economic Daily later reported around 560 workers at the Hyundai facility and LG Energy Solution (LGES), had been detained, citing unidentified industry sources. Some 300 are South Korean nationals, according to local media reports. Hyundai Motor is a South Korean automotive company but has many international plants.

The raid on Thursday has dealt a setback to the company's substantial project in Georgia and was a dramatic iteration of the Trump administration 's harsh crackdown on immigrants in the US.

It also showed the disruptive impact that Donald Trump 's mass deportation agenda is having on businesses, even as the White House tries to spur more inflows from foreign investors.

An agent at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said multiple federal agencies, including Ice, the FBI and the DEA "conducted a judicially authorized enforcement operation, as we are actively conducting an investigation into unlawful employment practices".

"Arrests are being made," Steven Schrank, the special agent in charge of homeland security investigations for Georgia, said in a news briefing.

A government official representing South Korea, the home of Hyundai Motor, said those arrested were being held at an Ice detention facility.

South Korea's foreign ministry said that "many of our nationals" have been detained and expressed concern about the impact of the raid.

"The economic activities of our companies investing in the United States and the interests of our citizens must not be unduly violated during the course of US law enforcement," ministry spokesperson Lee Jae-woong said in a statement on Friday.

The battery production facility, a joint venture between South Korean battery maker LGES and Hyundai Motor, was due to start operations at the end of this year, according to LGES, to power electric vehicles.

A spokesperson at the Hyundai-GA battery company in Georgia said in a statement that it was cooperating fully and that it had paused construction work.

Hyundai Motor said its production of electric vehicles at the sprawling site was not affected.

In 2023, Hyundai Motor Group and LG Energy Solution (LGES) announced the $4.3bn venture to produce EV battery cells, with each company holding a 50% stake. The plant will supply batteries for Hyundai, Kia and Genesis EV models.

The battery factory is part of Hyundai's $12.6bn investments in Georgia, including the automaker's just-opened car factory, in what would be "the largest economic development project in the state's history" and is part of a bigger investment in US industry by the South Korean company, announced in March as Trump was ramping up on tariffs.

A social media video footage showed a man wearing a vest with the letters HIS, an acronym for Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), telling workers in yellow safety vests: "We have a search warrant for the whole site. We need construction to cease immediately. We need all work to end on the site right now."

Trump has said he wants to deport "the worst of the worst" criminals, but Ice figures have shown a rise in non-criminals being picked up. Rights advocates have denounced such raids.

While homeland security investigations led the raid, federal officers were assisted by the Georgia department of public safety and state troopers, according to local media.

Meanwhile in upstate New York, another significant Ice raid took place at the Nutrition Bar Confectioners facilities near Syracuse, where snack bars are made at a family-owned concern, drawing anger from the state governor.

Officers forced entry to the industrial facility and detained dozens of workers.

"I am outraged by this morning's Ice raids in Cato and Fulton, where more than 40 adults were seized, including parents of at least a dozen children at risk of returning from school to an empty house," Kathy Hochul, New York's Democratic governor, said in a statement released by her office.

"I've made it clear, New York will work with the federal government to secure our borders and deport violent criminals, but we will never stand for masked Ice agents separating families and abandoning children," Hochul added.

Migrant advocacy group Rural & Migrant Ministry said on Facebook that it estimated that more than 70 workers had been arrested.

Residents in Washington, D.C., are urging Congress to end Trump's federal law enforcement surge. In groups of five, people carried signs saying, "FREE DC" while calling on lawmakers. Trump speaks out and claims that these groups are a danger to D.C and it's a "direct threat to democracy". The activist speaks about and claims our democracy is slipping away. Also, a lot of military families are speaking out against Trump, saying it's disheartening to see the military being used against the public people.

Some Washington, D.C. residents fanned out across the halls of Congress on Thursday, urging lawmakers to end President Donald Trump's federal law enforcement surge in the nation's capital.

The demonstrations came the same day the U.S. Army extended orders for the Washington, D.C., National Guard to remain on active duty in the nation's capital through Nov. 30, two U.S. officials told ABC News.

In small groups of five, demonstrators carried a letter from advocacy group "Free DC" to congressional offices calling on lawmakers to "do everything in your power to end the occupation of Washington, D.C., as swiftly as possible."

The letter, obtained by ABC News, described Trump's declaration as "an ongoing and increasing danger to D.C. residents" and a "direct threat to democracy in the United States and the governing power of the U.S. Congress."

"This is an active military takeover of the capital. It is a textbook indicator of backsliding democracy and intensifying authoritarianism," the letter stated. "This might come off as alarmist, but in the last 100 years of history, the pattern is clear and we are witnessing it in real time."

White House Spokesperson Abigail Jackson said in a statement to ABC News on Thursday, "Cracking down on crime should not be a partisan issue, but some Democrats and activists are trying to make it one."

"It's bizarre that these liberal activists would protest the significant drops in violent crime in DC thanks to President Trump's historic effort to Make DC Safe Again," Jackson said.

The activists also pressed lawmakers to reject nearly a dozen Republican-backed bills that would expand federal power in the District. Some D.C. residents paired up with seasoned organizers to knock on doors and meet congressional staffers.

"I just feel like our democracy is slipping away," said Michelle Castro, who has lived in D.C. for 24 years but said she stepped inside the Capitol for the first time Thursday.

Castro, the daughter of an Air Force veteran, joined the advocacy group Free D.C. after the deployment of armed troops. "As a military family, seeing the troops in the streets is very upsetting," she told ABC News. "To see our military being used as political tools is just wrong. It's not American. It's not why they signed up."

Castro said she had attended rallies before but never lobbied lawmakers. For many D.C. residents, the nation's capital can feel like two separate cities, one for politics and federal workers, and another where locals live without voting representation in Congress beyond Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton.

"As a D.C. resident, just feeling like there's no one, I don't have a person to go to their office or to call," Castro said. "Whenever they're like, 'Call your reps,' I'm like, who do I call?"

For others, the deployment stirred painful family memories. Julie Cruz, who said her great-grandparents were murdered by the Nazis, said she grew up visiting relatives in East Germany and seeing Russian soldiers with machine guns on the streets.

"I personally find it very traumatizing to see troops occupying our city," she said. "They should be going home to their families and their communities."

Not everyone is protesting the law enforcement surge in the District.

"D.C. became one of America's most dangerous cities because of failed, soft-on-crime policies that devastated innocent families while coddling the very criminals terrorizing our states and it made our capitol unsafe for residents, for visitors, for members of Congress, and unfortunately, even for our interns and our staff," said Republican Rep. Ron Estes.

In June, one of Estes' interns, 21-year-old Eric Tarpinian-Jachym of Granby, Massachusetts, was fatally shot.

"We're having to turn our attention in Congress on doing what the District of Columbia, its mayor and their leadership should have done long ago, and that's to keep the city safe," the congressman said.

Tarpinian-Jachym's killing remains unsolved. Authorities have offered a $40,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible.

"President Trump has rightfully exercised his authority to restore law and order here over the last few weeks, and what a tremendous job our federal law enforcement officers have done for this city," he said. "This is what happens when you have leadership that actually cares about public safety," he added.

The D.C. Police Union, which represents the members of the Metropolitan Police Department, welcomed Trump's move, saying the department hit a 50-year low in staffing and needed the federal help.

Union chairman Gregg Pemberton said the federal surge has made D.C. officers' jobs "easier."

"You have more law enforcement officers, you have less work, you have less crime," he said.

He added, "We want to get back to a place where MPD is doing 100% of this job."

Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser, whose careful rhetoric has drawn both Trump's praise and activists' scorn, has been negotiating with the administration as she tries to protect the city's limited autonomy.

On Tuesday, Bowser released a new order, which she called a plan for exiting the crime emergency declared by Trump. The mayor's plan calls for continuing the work of the "Safe and Beautiful Emergency Operations Center," which Bowser's office says will manage the city's response after the initial 30-day lapses.

"My 100% focus is on exiting the emergency and that's where all of our energies are," Bowser said. "I think in creating the EOC, we mean to demonstrate ... that we are organized to best use our own public safety resources and any additional public safety resources, and I think that's the message for the Congress."

Still, tensions are high. Several residents have circulated a "no confidence" letter targeting Bowser's leadership, while local activists and even some council members blasted her for thanking Trump for the surge of federal law enforcement, which brought down crime.

On Wednesday, D.C.-based politicians met privately with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, who pledged to help with their efforts in the Senate. Maryland Democratic Rep. Glenn Ivey, recalling Washington's violent crack epidemic in the 1990s, said federal intervention was not the answer.

"When I first became a prosecutor here in Washington, D.C., it was 1990, that was the height of the crack fight, 450 to 500 homicides per year," Ivey said. "They called it Dodge City. We fought against that, and under home rule, the leadership turned it around. Now we've got some of the lowest crime rates in 30 years."

Council member Robert White called D.C. "ground zero for saving democracy."

"It is clear the president has said he is doing this in Maryland and New York and California, now in Louisiana," White said. "So democracy will be stripped away everywhere, not just in D.C. We just happen to be ground zero. That is why we must stop it now."

Council member Janeese Lewis George urged unity: "We need to be strong, and we need to be united. Home rule in the District is what we are fighting for. That is all of our North Star."

Trump has been hinting at the renaming for months, and just recently he had told reporters he thinks he doesn't need congress's approval to change the name. "We're just going to do it." Is what he said.

The reason for the change is because Trump thinks that the name "Department of Defense" doesn't sound nearly strong enough. He prefers Department of War, due to the better, stronger sound.
