Police in Dearborn, MI, said they chargedthe men with breach of peace after they walked into a police station wearing tactical vests, one of them carrying an AP-14 firearm and a handgun.

Police confronted the men, later identified by authorities as James Craig Baker and Brandon Brent Vreeland. They initially refused to comply with the officers' commands, authorities said.

In the encounter, which the men streamed live, police were heard giving commands to put the guns down and step back. One man was heard telling police they weren't breaking any laws.

As an open carry state, Michigan allows licensed gun owners to carry a firearm in public so long as it is not concealed.

Officials said Baker, 24,of Leonard, MI, was armed with the two firearms. He has been charged with breach of peace, masks/disguises while parading, and failure to cooperate during booking proceedings.

Authorities said Vreeland, of Jackson, MI, was carrying the camera and a tripod. He been charged with breach of peace, failure to obey police officer's direction or order, and resisting an officer's demands. All of the charges are misdemeanors.

Both men were released on $1,500 bond pending a Feb. 24 court date, according to police and court records.

Baker declined comment to CNN on Tuesday before consulting with his attorney.

By the time it was all over, police, who appeared to show restraint, seized guns, ammunition, body armor and ballistic vests, authorities said. In all they recovered four guns, including the loaded AP-14 firearm and a loaded Glock 19 handgun, authorities said. It wasn't immediately clear where the other two weapons were recovered from.

'You walked into a police department loaded'

Dearborn police said they first encountered the pair early Sunday afternoon when officers went to a shopping district to investigate a report of two suspicious men in a vehicle wearing tactical masks. The men left the area before police arrived.

A short time later, a Dearborn sergeant on patrol spotted the two men in their vehicle at a nearby park. The sergeant conducted a traffic stop and found that the men were dressed in tactical vests. The passenger, who was wearing a mask that covered his face, refused to speak to police, authorities said.

The sergeant let the two go after a brief preliminary investigation. But the pair wasn't done with police.

Police said the two then drove to the station; that's when the video shows the men walking into the station.

"So, we're here outside Dearborn police station," one of the men, who is masked, says to the camera. "We're going to go in and file a complaint because we were illegally pulled over about an hour ago."

"That's 100% accurate," the other man, who is not wearing a mask, responds.

"We felt a little afraid for our lives when we were pulled over, so we figured we'd better protect ourselves," saysthe man in the mask, who has a gun around his neck.

As the men entered the station, police immediately issued commands.

"Dude, put that on the ground," a voice can be heard saying.

The videoappears to showofficers pointing their guns at the men.

The camera seems to drop to the ground. The video cuts out while the audio continues.

"Put it on the ground or you are dead," a voicecan be heard yelling.

"I will put a round in you, sir," a voice yelled.

One of the men is heard sayinghe will remove the rifle from around his neck.

"Put it down, barrel down, set it down, step back. You're carrying a sidearm as well," one voice yells.

"It's all legal, sir," one man says.

At another point, a voice can be heard saying; "You walked into a police department loaded, okay. How stupid is that?"

Gun rights group denounces stunt

Dearborn police and a local open carry rights gun group have criticized the men for their actions.

"I find this behavior totally unacceptable and irresponsible. This is not a Second Amendment issue for me," Dearborn Police Chief Ronald Haddad said in a press release. "We had members of the public in our lobby that fled in fear for their safety as these men entered our building."

Michigan Open Carry Inc., said it "in no way supports the actions of these individuals."

The group said it advocates for and educates individuals about their legal right to openly carry a holstered handgun for protection.

"There is a clear difference between the everyday protection we advocate for and the attention seeking actions of these individuals. Wearing a mask, dark glasses, visible body armor, and a rifle slung across your chest instills a very specific image that cannot be ignored."

"Like it or not, exercising your rights is not black and white. How you act and portray yourself is a big part of advocacy. I believe these gentlemen failed in this regard," Michigan Open Carry president Tom Lambert said in a statement.

Appeals Court Blocks Trump Bid to Reinstate Immigration Order

Trump furious after court upholds block on travel ban

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The unanimous ruling from a three-judge panel means that citizens of seven majority-Muslim countries will continue to be able to travel to the US, despite Trump's executive order last month.

It is a significant political setback to Trump's new administration and raises questions about how the courts will view his apparent vision for an expansive use of executive power from the Oval Office on which he is anchoring the early weeks of his presidency.

"The government has pointed to no evidence that any alien from any of the countries named in the order has perpetrated a terrorist attack in the United States," the judges wrote.

"Rather than present evidence to explain the need for the Executive Order, the government has taken the position that we must not review its decision at all."

The judges added that while "the public has a powerful interest in national security and in the ability of an elected president to enact policies... the public also has an interest in free flow of travel, in avoiding separation of families, and in freedom from discrimination."

Trump immediately tweeted his reaction to the ruling: "SEE YOU IN COURT, THE SECURITY OF OUR NATION IS AT STAKE!"

"It's a political decision, we're going to see them in court, and I look forward to doing that," Trump told reporters in the White House Thursday. "It's a decision that we'll win, in my opinion, very easily."

Trump's presidential rival Hillary Clinton celebrated the decision, tweeting simply "3-0."

The states of Washington and Minnesota had challenged the ban.

"Bottom line, this is a complete victory for the state of Washington," said state Attorney General Bob Ferguson. "The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in a unanimous decision effectively granted everything we sought."

Washington state Solicitor General Noah Purcell, who argued the case, responded to Trump's tweet on CNN's "Erin Burnett OutFront."

"The irony from our perspective is that we've seen him in court twice now, and we've won both times. It's not like it doesn't count until you get to the Supreme Court," Purcell said.

The Justice Department is reviewing the decision, it said in a statement.

But given that the Supreme Court currently lacks its ninth member, there a real chance of a 4-4 split on the bench along ideological lines, which would have the effect of affirming the ruling of the 9th Circuit, inflicting a more permanent blow to the new administration.

Fight over executive power

The legal drama over the immigration executive order was the first episode in what could be a series of legal challenges to Trump's governing style and agenda and represents the first confrontation between his White House and the checks and balances of the American political system.

The judges addressed each of the Justice Department's proffered reasons for reinstating the ban in great detail and rejected them all.

Perhaps the most sweeping language came concerning the government's vast claim of executive power.

The court rejected that in strong language: "There is no precedent to support this claimed unreviewability, which runs contrary to the fundamental structure of our constitutional democracy."

They added: "Although our jurisprudence has long counseled deference to the political branches on matters of immigration and national security, neither the Supreme Court nor our court has ever held that courts lack the authority to review executive action in those arenas for compliance with the Constitution."

The administration also argued the states did not have standing -- or the legal right -- to bring the suit.

But the court disagreed.

"(A)s the operators of state universities, the states may assert not only their own rights to extent affected by the Executive Order but may also assert the rights of their students and faculty members," the judges wrote.

National security argument

The court also chastised the Trump administration for failing to provide an explanation for how national security concerns justified an "urgent need" for the executive order to be immediately reinstated.

It suggested the administration "could have provided the court "with classified information" but failed to do so.

And while the administration had set forth a fallback argument in order to limit the scope of the temporary restraining order currently in place -- arguing that if the judges were inclined to uphold the lower court's decision to block Trump's ban, then the ruling should at least be limited to people who have previously been admitted to the US -- the appellate court was unconvinced.

"It is not our role to try, in effect, to rewrite the Executive Order. ...The political branches are far better equipped to make appropriate distinctions," the court explained.

The court said that it had to look at the interest of the public. It acknowledged that the public had a "powerful interest" in national security and in the "ability of an elected president to enact policies" but that the states had a stronger argument.

"The public has an interest in free flow of travel, in avoiding separation of families, and in freedom from discrimination," the judges wrote.

Trump's executive order bars citizens of Iraq, Syria, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen from entering the US for 90 days, all refugees for 120 days and indefinitely halts refugees from Syria.

Trump issued the travel ban January 27, causing chaos, confusion and protests at international airports as the legal status of people in transition was suddenly thrown into question. Lawsuits have been filed across the country, but it was one from federal Judge James Robart in Seattle last Friday that blocked the travel ban nationwide, clearing the way for resumed travel from the seven countries.

The administration appealed, and the three-judge panel heard oral arguments Tuesday evening via telephone and issued the ruling Thursday per curiam, meaning it is unsigned and there was no dissent. Judge Michelle T. Friedland, who was appointed by President Barack Obama, Judge William C. Canby Jr, an appointee of President Jimmy Carter, and Judge Richard R. Clifton, an appointee of President George W. Bush, heard the case.

"The Trump administration has lost dramatically and completely," said Jeffery Toobin, a CNN political analyst, on "The Situation Room."

"This decision will have a lot more public credibility because it is unanimous, and I think it complicates the Trump administration's attempt, if they choose to make it, to disparage this decision as a political act," Toobin said.

The administration has not announced its next step, but Trump has previously indicated that he would take the case all the way to the Supreme Court if necessary, a move that would set up a legal showdown of even higher stakes and visibility.

Should it choose, before it goes to the Supreme Court, the Justice Department has the option of asking for an en banc review of the three-judge panel ruling among judges of the full 9th Circuit.

President Donald Trump suffered more than a legal defeat of his immigration ban Thursday night.
He ran smack into the limits of executive power. Three federal judges unanimously refused to restore the White House's controversial travel ban, laying down the most significant marker yet that Trump's vision of an administration rooted in the muscular use of executive power -- similar to that he enjoyed as a business leader -- will not go unchallenged.

Bill Gates gives his take on how to improve the future of the planet. Starting with food production.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Bill Gates is a man on a mission.

The 61-year-old co-founder of Microsoft, who has an estimated fortune of nearly $85 billion according to Forbes, is well known for his philanthropic work.

In an interview with CNN, recorded in October, Gates talked about his commitment to tackling disease and famine.

"Our foundation focuses on the diseases of poor countries such as malaria, HIV, diarrhea and pneumonia," Gates told CNN. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is investing millions in combating mosquito-borne diseases in Latin America.

"In every one of those cases, we've made huge progress. We've cut the number of children under five with diarrhea from 13 million 25 years ago to six million today."

With his brief laid bare, we asked Gates for advice on tackling some of the biggest challenges facing the globe.

How to save the world from disease ...

"We'll never get it to zero," said Gates on how to rid the planet of disease. "But the science today should give us tools to solve a lot of the big killers."

He said disease could still be "cut in half," eventually reaching a point where "a child in a poor country doesn't have a dramatically increased chance of dying compared to other children."

So how do we inspire this scientific innovation in the next generation?

"Understanding what the problems of the world are, I think that stimulates people," said Gates, before rushing off to another appointment to spread his message -- and money -- further.

"It's about increasing food productivity," said Gates matter-of-factly, when asked how to save the world from famine.

"We have one-fifth the productivity in Africa that we have in Europe and the United States. So better seed varieties, access to fertilizer... and the use of cell phones so that market information is more available."

Gates added that African countries could learn from the way some Asian countries had pulled themselves out of famine and dramatically increased crop production.

It's going to be OK

While there are still huge challenges facing society, Gates has an optimistic outlook.

"The trend is good," he said.

"The reduction in violence, the understanding the science, you know, the treatment of women. We have a lot more to do, but, you know, certainly, 30 years ago, it was a lot worse than it is today."
