Amid the rising trend of assaults on ICE officers, New Jersey Governor Mikey Sherrill has banned federal agents from covering their faces.

The governor signed a new law on Wednesday that restricts law enforcement's ability to use face coverings and requires officers to identify themselves before making arrests.

Sherrill defended the move as an effort to improve trust in law enforcement and protect New Jersey residents.

DHS has rebuffed previous state rules to unmask ICE agents, calling a similar law in Washington state irresponsible, reckless, and dangerous.

And the term blowfish is getting a new meaning as cocaine-fueled sharks become a rising problem in the Caribbean.

Scientists say they've discovered traces of cocaine, caffeine, and painkillers in sharks swimming off the Bahamas, highlighting a growing pollution problem in the world's oceans.

Experts say the contamination likely comes from wastewater runoff, partying tourists, and even drug trafficking debris ending up in the ocean.

It's still unclear how the drugs are affecting the behavior of these sharks.

In a Truth Social post earlier this week, Trump endorsed Brandon Herrera in the race for Texas's 23rd congressional district, calling him a strong MAGA ally who will fight to secure the border, protect the Second Amendment, cut taxes, and unleash American energy.

The endorsement comes after incumbent Congressman Tony Gonzalez exited the race amid a House ethics investigation tied to an admitted affair with a former staffer.

Gonzalez had initially advanced to a runoff but withdrew it before it could take place.

Herrera, a self-described Second Amendment activist and social media personality, narrowly edged Gonzalez in the primary and now appears poised to carry the Republican banner into November.

He will face Democratic nominee Katie Padilla Stout and what is expected to be a closely watched general election showdown.

To actually create real peace, you have to do these kinds of actions just like happened.

Yes, many Republicans have been supportive of these strikes, backing the president's message as senators like Lindsey Graham have wanted to see changes in Iran for years now.

You've also seen some conservatives that might not be so thrilled about the prospect of military intervention, while others in Congress are also wanting to see some more details about the information in these post-strike briefings.

However, one key aspect of this is the overall concern about domestic threats, like the reports that we saw out of Austin, Texas over the weekend, including the possibility of Iranian sleeper cells.

And people like Senator Dave McCormick have called on Homeland Security's shutdown to come to an end, as that department plays a critical role in monitoring these kinds of threats.

From mainline Democrats in Congress and in the commentary world, they've strongly rebuked the decision by the president to attack Iran without prior congressional approval.

Of course, some members of Congress were briefed in the week leading up to the strikes.
