LIVE NEWS: Iran latest, America 250 celebrations, NJ ICE protests continue
President Donald Trump held a White House Situation Room meeting with his advisers on Friday but has not yet made a decision on whether to move forward with a deal to extend the Iran ceasefire and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Iran said the agreement has not been finalized. Ahead of the meeting, Trump said he was looking to make a “final determination.” A senior administration official later said the roughly two-hour meeting with national security aides had concluded without a decision.
President Donald Trump will headline an event commemorating the nation’s 250th anniversary on the National Mall next month, organizers said on Saturday, after several musical performers scheduled to appear in the celebration canceled, citing concerns about its association with him. The concerts were planned as the opening ceremony of the Great American State Fair, a 16-day event running from June 25 to July 10, 2026. Organizers said the fair, organized by the Freedom 250 group, would stretch on the National Mall from the U.S. Capitol to the Washington Monument, with concert stages, state pavilions, exhibits, rides, and other attractions.
New Jersey Attorney General Jennifer Davenport said State Police temporarily cleared the area outside Delaney Hall early Saturday morning as officers worked to secure a path for vehicles leaving the facility. Gov. Mikie Sherrill said the measure was meant “to avoid escalation from ICE.”
At a press conference Saturday afternoon, Sherrill, Davenport and other state officials gave an update on escalating protests overnight. Both said that state police intervened to keep protesters safe.
