US media continued its intense focus on the D.C. National Guard shooting. In the morning, reports detailed President Trump's order to pause asylum decisions and his vow to permanently halt immigration from "impoverished countries," alongside coverage of his termination of executive orders signed by Biden via autopen. Concurrently, Trump's pardon of former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández began to gain traction.
Later in the day, the declaration of Venezuelan airspace as closed by President Trump, citing rising tensions over drug strikes, became a prominent story. Discussions around a Trump peace plan for Ukraine persisted, with some Ukrainian soldiers viewing it as capitulation while others hoped for peace, amid reports of the plan's potential financial motives.
The day concluded with continued heavy focus on the Venezuelan airspace closure, the ongoing National Guard shooting, and an Afghan national arrested for a TikTok bomb threat, linked to Biden's resettlement program by conservative outlets.
