Cellphone video captured an ICE agent pointing a gun at a bystander walking two dogs during an immigration enforcement operation in North Hollywood on Friday. The footage shows masked officers detaining another man before two agents rush toward the dog walker after he appears to pick something up from the ground. One agent pushes him into bushes while pointing a gun at the bystander's face.

Pocketbook issues top the president’s talking points, but TikTok videos critical of his claims far outnumber supportive ones. Vulnerable Republicans are steering clear of mentioning him.
