Prosecutors in Minnesota filed charges Monday against an ICE officer who allegedly shot Julio Sosa-Celis, a Venezuelan immigrant, during a Minneapolis immigration raid in January. Emilia González Avalos of Unidos MN says it was bystanders’ footage that led to the charges.

The U.S.-Iran ceasefire reportedly included Lebanon, but Israel has continued its attacks there. Wednesday was the deadliest day since the attacks began March 2. “Strikes brought down entire buildings that were packed with people,” says @ramzikaiss.bsky.social of @hrw.org in Beirut.
The U.S. is “not in a position right now where Iran is begging for a deal because it wants to avoid an escalation,” says Robert Malley, former U.S. negotiator for the Iran nuclear deal. “They believe, rightly or wrongly, that they could sustain the pain longer than the U.S. can.”
Tennessee death row prisoner Tony Carruthers was issued a one-year stay of execution last week after prison officials botched his execution. "We could hear him groaning in pain," says @nashvillebanner.bsky.social journalist Steven Hale, who attended as a media witness.
At least 17 people have died in ICE custody so far this year, part of President Trump's dramatic increase of immigration detention. "I have never seen anything like this, where I'm seeing ICE reporting out at least one death per week," says Setareh Ghandehari with @detentionwatchnetwork.org.

“It is a favorite tactic of the Israeli regime to try to bully people into silence and submission,” says @raniabatrice.bsky.social of the Global Sumud Flotilla’s communications team. Flotilla members Saif Abukeshek and Thiago Ávila were abducted from their ships and taken to Israel last week.
Amid U.S.-Iran negotiations, Trump is demanding Gulf countries normalize relations with Israel by accepting the Abraham Accords. “There is not a chance at all that Qatar, Saudi Arabia … are going to normalize relations with Israel,” says Robbert Malley of @crisisgroup.org.
"I didn’t assault anybody," says Bajun Mavalwalla, a veteran who was recently convicted of "conspiracy to impede or injure" federal agents after attending an anti-ICE protest in Spokane, Washington. The unprecedented conviction could lead to six years of prison time.
