Trump administration

The Trump administration, seemingly in power in 2026, is currently facing scrutiny and controversy across multiple fronts. A partial US government shutdown is ongoing due to a funding standoff, fueled by Democratic anger over the deaths of two people during an immigration crackdown in Minneapolis. This crackdown, overseen by officials like Gregory Bovino (who was likened to a Confederate general), has led to ICE detaining individuals, including children, sparking investigations into alleged illegal activity by ICE agents, particularly in cities like Chicago. The Department of Justice has opened a civil rights investigation into the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti by immigration officers. Simultaneously, the administration is involved in international affairs, including peace talks between Russia and Ukraine in Abu Dhabi and exerting pressure on Venezuela, leading to an overhaul of its oil industry. A judge has also barred federal prosecutors from seeking the death penalty in a high-profile case, further highlighting the administration's legal challenges.
