The Needle: Trump Will Be Mad If D.C. Gets a Democratic Socialist Mayor, Feds Charge Anti-ICE Protestors, ICE Contractor Changes Rules, Rural America Unhappy With Trump, Sean Penn Is Making a J6 Movie, and Joyce Beatty Is a Hero
A democratic socialist appears set to become D.C.'s next mayor, angering President Donald Trump. Federal prosecutors charged 15 anti-ICE demonstrators in Minnesota for blocking ICE operations, while ICE revised detention rules under pressure from private contractor Geo Group. Rural American support for Trump has declined due to economic concerns, and Sean Penn is directing a film about the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.
