"Attorney general Pam Bondi said that there have been 1,094 arrests in DC since the federal law enforcement surge that began earlier this month.

President Trump moved to remove Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook effective immediately. Cook said no legal cause exists for removal and that Trump lacks authority over the seat to which she was appointed by Joe Biden in 2022 for a 14-year term. Cook said she will not resign and will continue performing her duties to support the American economy. Attorney General Pam Bondi reported 1,094 arrests in Washington, D.C. since a recent federal law enforcement surge, noted no carjackings in the past week, and said authorities arrested a man for burning an American flag. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries criticized the removal attempt and defended Cook's service.
