🇺🇸 TRUMP CONFIRMS HE'LL HIT IRAN WITH "FULL FORCE" TODAY AFTER IRAN DOWNS A U.S. APACHE HELICOPTER OVER THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ

🗣️ President Donald Trump announced that the United States will strike Iran "very hard" again today. "We're going to be attacking them, and attacking them very hard," he told reporters, warning that Tehran would "pay the price" for taking too long to reach a deal.

🚁 The trigger was the downing of a U.S. Apache helicopter near the Strait of Hormuz. According to Trump, both pilots came out unharmed, and the United States has already launched a first round of retaliatory strikes on Iranian territory.

🧭 The escalation didn't stop there. After the retaliation, Iran hit targets in Bahrain, Kuwait and Jordan. The peace talks the two countries held in Pakistan back in April had already collapsed, and the U.S. naval blockade remains in place.

💧 On the Iranian side, Tehran says it is "reviewing" the negotiations and accuses the United States and Israel of violating the ceasefire. The Iranian government also claims that more than 20,000 people lost access to drinking water after two reservoirs were bombed. The Strait of Hormuz remains closed and oil markets are on edge.

BREAKING: Democrats are reportedly preparing new legislation called the “Alex Pretti Act” that would eliminate qualified immunity protections for ICE agents if they regain control of Congress in the 2026 midterms.

According to multiple congressional sources, at least 16 House and Senate Democrats support the proposal, which would allow ICE agents to face civil lawsuits — and potentially criminal accountability — for misconduct or abuse while on duty.

The bill is named after Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old ICU nurse from Minneapolis who was fatally shot by federal agents during an ICE operation in January 2026. His death, along with the earlier shooting of Renee Good, sparked nationwide protests and renewed criticism over ICE enforcement tactics and accountability.

Supporters of the proposed law argue that qualified immunity has made it difficult to hold federal agents accountable, while opponents say removing those protections could impact law enforcement operations.

The proposal follows earlier efforts by lawmakers including Shri Thanedar, Eric Swalwell, and Dan Goldman to limit legal protections for ICE officers.
