President Joe Biden's Tuesday visit to Michigan to promote his economic agenda has been on the White House's calendar for weeks, but a carefully planned trip now risks being overshadowed by the recent eruption of violence in the Middle East between Hamas and Israel.
Biden is set to visit a Ford plant in Dearborn, Michigan -- home to one of the largest Arab-American populations in the United States -- to highlight the new F-150 electric vehicle on Tuesday. Over the weekend, Dearborn was among a slew of cities across the world where demonstrations in support of Palestinians in Gaza took place. Hundreds of protesters turned out for the event, according to local media reports and across social media, where a direct warning was given to Biden. "Tuesday, he will be here," one speaker at the Dearborn demonstration said. "We have heard from him. He will hear from us."
The Justice Department’s leadership asked career prosecutors in Florida Tuesday to volunteer over the “next several days” to help to redact the Epstein files, in the latest internal Trump administrationpush toward releasing the hundreds of thousands of photos, internal memos and other evidence around the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

The US State Department on Tuesday imposed visa sanctions on a former top European Union official and employees of organizations that combat disinformation for alleged censorship – sharply ratcheting up the Trump administration’s fight against European regulations that have impacted digital platforms, far-right politicians and Trump allies, including Elon Musk.
