The man charged two years ago with attempting to assassinate Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh will face trial in June 2025. The man, Nicholas Roske, who allegedly traveled to Kavanaugh’s Maryland home with a gun, burglary tools and other equipment, appeared in court Tuesday wearing a maroon prison uniform with a slight beard and long hair pulled in a bun. The trial is expected to last a little more than a week and will take place in a federal courthouse in Maryland outside of the nation’s capital. Judge Peter J. Messitte set the trial date of June 9, 2025, after prosecutors and defense attorneys were unable to come to any sort of agreement on a plea deal over the past two years. After several filing deadlines were discussed, Roske’s attorneys were asked whether further mental evaluations would be requested for their client. “Nothing required in terms of a mental evaluation,” his attorney, Andrew Szekely, told the judge.

On Wednesday, the Department of Homeland Security posted a striking graphic on its official X account. Uncle Sam, a symbol of American patriotism, is depicted nailing a poster to a wall that reads, “Help your country… and yourself.” Written underneath the poster is the sentence, “REPORT ALL FOREIGN INVADERS,” and the Immigration and Customs Enforcement hot line.
