Speaking there at the White House before heading to Las Vegas, Pakistan has served as a mediator in the talks. Meanwhile, Israel and Lebanon have agreed to a 10-day ceasefire that Trump says is supposed to start at this hour.

The complaint identifies the ICE officer as Gregory Donnell Morgan Jr. According to the complaint, in February, the two alleged victims say they saw Morgan driving an unmarked SUV along the shoulder of a highway. The victims say they pulled over to block the car, not knowing it was a federal officer, but eventually pulled back into the lane.

The complaint alleges that Morgan then sped up, rolled down his window, and pointed his gun at the victims. During a voluntary interview, Morgan told state investigators he feared for his safety. Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty says these charges are an important milestone in the state's efforts to seek accountability. There is now a nationwide warrant out for Morgan's arrest.
