Transcript

[Angelo Bavaro]

Controlling the chaos. I'm Angelo Bavaro, FOX News. Anti ICE protests continue outside of the Delaney hall detention facility in Newark, New Jersey. There have been several violent confrontations and now state police also involved.

[Steve Harrigan]

The police are being engaged. They're being called to. But there's not the threats or the real serious agitation that happens whenever an ICE agent appears. So a slight shift in tone. It was Newark police out in front last night as well. And there was violence overnight. Police marched first with ballistic shields. They were followed by officers on horseback. They had to release chemical irritants, tear gas and flashbang grenades in order to clear the street. It took about half an hour, 45 minutes of really a back and forth combat.

[Angelo Bavaro]

That is fox's Steve Harrigan still awaiting word from President Trump on a potential peace deal with Iran.

[Alex Hogan]

The president underscoring his demand that Iran can never possess a nuclear weapon. Iran laying out its demands with the parliament national security leader saying this this week, Iran wants, quote, the right to enrich uranium, possession of enriched uranium, authority over the Strait of Hormuz and the removal of sanctions. Democrats are criticizing the administration and they argue that this conflict is only strengthening the regime.

[Angelo Bavaro]

That is fox's Alex Hogan, a bus driver from New York has been charged with multiple counts of involuntary manslaughter in connection with a crash that killed five people on Interstate 95 in Virginia on Friday. State police say more charges are pending against 48 year old Jingdong of Staten Island. Deng was among the dozens injured in that crash. Investigators say the bus failed to slow down when it was coming up on a construction zone. NTSB board member Tom Chapman.

part of the Democratic focus this primary season, a Senate race in Iowa. Party leaders believe this could help Dems win back the majority in the fall. Fox's Grady Trimble is in Des Moines.

[Tom Chapman]

Democrats see Iowa's Senate seat vacated by retiring Senator Joni Ernst as a potential flip to win back the majority in the fall. But let's take a look at those Democratic candidates, State Rep. Josh Turek and state Senator Senator Zach Walz. They largely agree on the economic issues, but Walz is seen as more progressive and he's made his opposition to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer a central part of his campaign. Both candidates, though, support raising the minimum wage, increasing taxes on the wealthiest Americans, and they both oppose Trump's tariffs. The presumptive GOP nominee, Congresswoman Ashley Hinson, has President Trump's endorsement. And when it comes to those economic issues, she voted for last year's tax cut and she supports the president's tariffs.

[Angelo Bavaro]

And Iowa will also be voting for a new governor in the fall, well ahead of next week's mayoral primaries in Los Angeles. Candidates are making a final push for those votes.

[Matt Finn]

Fox's Matt Finn Mayor Bass has events scheduled all across the city here this weekend. We were at one, a rally at an SEIU union building. A fairly energetic crowd and large turnout for Mayor Bass, which also featured California Attorney General Rob Bonta. Spencer Pratt coming off a national media tour in New York City where he told Fox News that he he's a registered Republican but is getting most of his support from Democrats, not maga, and that he does not care about celebrity endorsements because moms and animal lovers will elect him. The energy and anticipation for the mayor's race has really been exploding here in Los Angeles. People in places like Beverly Hills and Santa Monica have been opening up their ballots only to find out they cannot vote in the mayor's race because they are not considered within the actual city of Los Angeles.

[Angelo Bavaro]

That primary is scheduled for Tuesday. I'm Angelo Bavaro and this is Fox News.
