Ben Stiller demands White House remove “Tropic Thunder ”clip from White House video: 'War is not a movie'

Ben Stilleris speaking out against the White House for using a clip from the actor and director's 2009 war comedyTropic Thunderin a social media post.

AThursday postfrom the official White House X account featured a bevy of scenes from films and television series, includingTop Gun,Braveheart,Iron Man,Breaking Badas well asTropic Thunder,along with the caption "JUSTICE THE AMERICAN WAY. 🇺🇸🔥." The specific clip fromTropic Thunderused in the video is ofTom Cruise's character Les Grossman dancing.

On Friday, Stillerretweetedthe White House post and made clear he did not approve ofTropic Thunder, which he directed and starred in, being used.

"Hey White House, please remove the Tropic Thunder clip. We never gave you permission and have no interest in being a part of your propaganda machine. War is not a movie," Stiller wrote.

This recent White House video, which includes several clips of warfare with the text "Unclassified" above, comes less than a week after the United States and Israel coordinated strikes on Iran.Reps for Stiller, Cruise, and the White House did not immediately respond when contacted byEntertainment Weeklyfor comment.

The Trump administration's social media presence has been called out before by celebrities for using their likeness or content without permission.Sabrina Carpenterblasted the administration for using her song "Juno" in a montage of clips showing ICE raids, to whichan official representative responded, "Here's a Short n' Sweet message for Carpenter: we won't apologize for deporting dangerous criminal illegal murderers, rapists, and pedophiles from our country."

Kenny Logginsrecently demanded the removal of the unauthorized use of his song "Danger Zone" in President Donald Trump's AI-generated video dumping what appears to be poop on protestors. The official response back toEntertainment Weeklywas aTop Gunmeme.

Kesha also joined the list of musicians speaking out against the Trump administration for using their music, specifically her song "Blow" being used in aTikTok postin February. On March 2, the singer wrote on Instagram, "It's come to my attention that The White House has used one of my songs on TikTok to incite violence and threaten war."

The singer added, "Trying to make light of war is disgusting and inhumane." Her song has since been removed from the White House's TikTok post.

Trump looks to turn attention to Western Hemisphere, at least for a moment, at Americas summit

DORAL, Fla. (AP) —President Donald Trumpis set to gather with Latin American leaders on Saturday at his Miami-area golf club as his administration looks to demonstrate it's still committed tosharpening U.S. foreign policy focus on the Western Hemisphereeven as it deals with five-alarm crises around the globe.

Trump

The gathering, dubbed the"Shield of the Americas"summit, comes just two months after Trump ordered an audacious U.S. military operation to captureVenezuelan President Nicolás Maduroand whisk him and his wife to the U.S. to face drug conspiracy charges.

Looming even larger is Trump's decision to join with Israel tolaunch a war on Iranone week ago, a conflict that's already left hundreds dead,convulsed global marketsandunsettled the broader Middle East.

Trump's time with the Latin American leaders will be limited: He is also set to fly to Dover Air Force Base, Delaware, to be on hand for the dignified transfer ofthe six U.S. troops killedin adrone strikeon a command center in Kuwait, one day after the U.S. and Israel launched theirmilitary campaign against Iran.

But with the summit, Trump will look to turn attention to the Western Hemisphere, at least for a moment. He's vowed to reassert U.S. dominance in the region and push back on what he sees as years ofChinese economic encroachment in America's backyard.

"Under previous leaders, we grew obsessed with every other theater and every other border in the world except our own," Defense SecretaryPete Hegsethtold regional leaders and defense ministerswho gathered in Florida this week for talks on countering drug cartels. "These elites reduced our power and presence in this hemisphere, opting for a benign neglect that was anything but benign."

Who will be attending

The leaders of Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guyana, Honduras, Panama, Paraguay, and Trinidad and Tobago have confirmed they'll take part in the gathering at the president's Trump National Doral Miami, a golf resort where he's also set to host the Group of 20 summit later this year.

The idea for a summit of like-minded conservatives from across the hemisphere emerged from the ashes of what was to be the 10th edition of the Summit of the Americas, which was scrapped during the U.S. military buildup off the coast of Venezuela last year.

Host Dominican Republic, pressured by the White House, had barred Cuba, Nicaragua and Venezuela from attending the regional gathering. But after leftist leaders in Colombia and Mexico threatened to pull out in protest — and with no commitment from Trump to attend — the Dominican Republic's President Luis Abinader decided at the last minute to postpone the event, citing "deep differences" in the region.

The Shield of the Americas moniker is meant to speak to Trump's vision for a "America First" foreign policy toward the region that leverages U.S. military and intelligence assets unseen in the region since the end of the Cold War.

But notably missing will be the region's two dominant powers — Brazil and Mexico — as well as Colombia, long the linchpin of U.S. anti-narcotics strategy in the region.

Richard Feinberg, who helped plan the first Summit of Americas in 1994 while working at the National Security Council in the Clinton White House, said the contrast couldn't be starker.

"The first Summit of the Americas, with 34 nations and a carefully negotiated comprehensive agenda for regional competitiveness, projected inclusion, consensus and optimism," said Feinberg, now professor emeritus at the University of California-San Diego. "The hastily convened Shield of the Americas mini-summit conjures a crouched defensiveness, with only a dozen or so attendees huddled around a single dominant figure."

The challenge from China

Since returning to the White House, Trump has made countering Chinese influence in the hemisphere a top priority. Hisnational security strategytouts what it dubs the "Trump Corollary" to the 19th century Monroe Doctrine — which had sought to ban European incursions in the Americas — by targeting Chinese infrastructure projects, military cooperation and investment in the region's resource industries.

The first demonstration of the more muscular approach was Trump's strong-arming of Panama to withdraw from China's Belt and Road Initiative and review long-term port contracts held by a Hong Kong-based firm amid U.S. threats to retake the Panama Canal.

More recently, the U.S. capture of Maduro and Trump's pledge to "run" Venezuela threatens to disrupt oil shipments to China — the biggest buyer of Venezuelan crude before the raid — and bring into Washington's orbit one of Beijing's closest allies in the region. Trump is scheduled to travel to Beijing later this month to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping.

But even leaders closely aligned with Trump have been reluctant to sever ties with China, said Evan Ellis, an expert on Chinese engagement in the region at the Center for Strategic and International Studies.

For many countries, China's trade-focused diplomacy fills a critical financial void in a region with major development challenges ranging from poverty reduction to infrastructure bottlenecks. In contrast, Trump has been slashing foreign assistance to the region while rewarding countries lined up behind his crackdown on immigration — a policy that's widely unpopular across the hemisphere.

"The U.S. is offering the region tariffs, deportations and militarization whereas China is offering trade and investment," said Kevin Gallagher, director of Boston University's Global Development Policy Center, who has written extensively about China's economic diplomacy in the Americas. "Leaders in the region would do well to remain neutral and hedge, such that they can leverage increased U.S.-China rivalry to their own benefit."

Ahead of the summit, Trump announced that he was naming Kristi Noem, whom he just removed as Department of Homeland Security secretary, as his special envoy for the Shield of the Americas.

Noem said Trump will announce "a big agreement" at the summit centered on "how we're going to go after cartels and drug trafficking in the entire Western Hemisphere."

Trump administration says Nashville reporter arrested by ICE will get due process

By Kanishka Singh

WASHINGTON, March 6 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump's administration said on Friday a Colombian reporter for a Spanish-language news outlet in Tennessee, arrested by federal immigration ‌agents, will get due process.

The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested Estefany Maria Rodriguez ‌Florez, a journalist for Nashville Noticias, in the state capital on Thursday. She was taken to an ICE detention center ​and remains in custody.

ICE accuses her of violating her visa conditions. A lawyer for her was cited by local media as saying that "up until now, she hasn't had a case with ICE charging her with anything."

Rodriguez Florez has lived in the U.S. for five years and "frequently reports on stories critical ‌of ICE," her lawyers said ⁠in an emergency petition filed in federal court, saying she was arrested without a warrant.

ICE officers had an "administrative warrant" at the time of the arrest ⁠on Wednesday, an ICE spokesperson and a spokesperson of the Department of Homeland Security, of which ICE is a part, said on Friday.

"She will receive full due process and remains in ICE custody pending the ​outcome ​of her immigration proceedings," the DHS spokesperson said.

ICE has ​been at the heart of Trump's ‌immigration crackdown, which rights advocates say violates free speech and due process, and has created an unsafe environment. Trump says his policies aim to curb illegal immigration and improve domestic security.

Rodriguez Florez had a meeting scheduled for March 17 with ICE's Enforcement and Removal Operations, her lawyers said. ICE previously twice rescheduled a meeting with her on her case, once due to a winter ‌storm and again when an agent could not find ​her appointment in the system.

Nashville Noticias said the reporter was ​with her husband outside a gym ​on Wednesday when the vehicle they were in, which was marked with the ‌media outlet's logo, was surrounded and she ​was detained.

Rodriguez Florez arrived ​in the U.S. on a tourist visa, filed for political asylum, later married a U.S. citizen and has a valid work permit, her lawyers say, adding that she and ​her husband have filed for permission ‌to adjust her status to lawful permanent resident.

The Trump administration alleges she was not ​authorized to stay in the U.S. beyond 2021 on her tourist visa.

Noem's firing is little comfort to Minneapolis residents struggling to recover from crackdown

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Daniel Hernandez's grocery store in south Minneapolis has served Latino families for over 5 years, but he says it's on the verge of closing due to lasting economic damage from the nation's largest immigration enforcement crackdown.

Noem Minnesota

Many of Hernandez's customers have continued to stay home or drastically reduce their spending, and 10 of the 12 Latino small businesses that rent space from him remain shuttered, he said in an interview Friday. Even though President Donald Trump's administration scaled back the crackdown earlier, and the presidentfired Kristi Noemas homeland security secretary on Thursday, many are still feeling the ripple effects.

Hernandez, an immigrant from Mexico, said only one business, an Ecuadorian ice cream shop, has been able to reopen since December,when the immigration crackdown began.

"I don't know if my business will survive, being honest," Hernandez said. "The amount of damage is so big that I am afraid."

The fall of Noem

Noem was pushed out amid mounting criticism over her leadership, including her handling of the crackdown and the aftermath of the shooting deaths of two Minneapolis residents by federal officers, Renee Good and Alex Pretti.

It's not clear how many Immigration and Customs Enforcement and other federal officers are left in Minnesotaafter peaking around 3,000at the height of the surge. Noem put the number at 650 in her congressional testimony this week.

But U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar told Minnesota Public Radio that White House border czar Tom Homan called her to say that total was incorrect, and they've cut backto their original numberof a little over 100 ICE officers, plus some additional agents working on fraud investigations.

ICE and Homeland Security officials did not immediately respond to emails seeking details Friday.

Many businesses are still struggling

Like Hernandez's Colonial Market, many businesses owned by immigrants or that cater to them are still struggling from sharp drops in sales.

"Instead of spending $150, now they spend $30, $40," Hernandez said.

Other customers stopped coming in altogether — either because they were afraid of being detained, regardless of their legal status, or because money is tight from being unable to work.

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey said last month that small businesses have collectively lost tens of millions of dollars in revenue. He estimated the federal immigration operation cost thecity's economy $203 millionin January alone and led 76,000 people to experience food insecurity.

Activists credit community organizing

"We warn our community that the fight is not over," said Jaylani Hussein, a Somali American who is executive director of the Minnesota chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, at a news conference Friday. "It is a good day to say good riddance to Kristi Noem. But it's not a good day to walk away from the fight."

The sense among many activists is that the intense community organizing against the surge played a decisive role in the administration backing down. And they say it sparked the formation of strong neighborhood networks that will live on and continue to push for social justice.

Minneapolis resident Patty O'Keefe, who wasdetainedin January for following a federal officer's vehicle, said she's happy to see Noem go but it will take more to bring about real change.

"It's a sign that we're winning, that the Trump administration feels like they have to make a change to save face because they're losing public support and losing the narrative," she said. "And I think it's a testament to the hard work of Minnesotans who fought back against this war of political retribution and xenophobia that has been and continues to be waged against us."

Brandon Sigüenza, who was detained with O'Keefe, said the mood isn't celebratory because the crackdown is ongoing.

"I don't think Minneapolitans are necessarily dancing in the streets. Because there's still no justice for Renee Good, there's still no justice for Alex Pretti," Sigüenza said.

Minneapolis psychologist Lucy Olson helped organize a covert grassroots network that swelled to 2,000 volunteers assisting around 500 immigrant families with legal matters, shelter, food and rent assistance. She said that after the crackdown, the mutual aid systems that formed will continue to respond to community needs.

"For those of us who had the honor of participating as volunteers, I think we will never be the same," Olson said. "I think there's been cross-cultural friendships, the opportunity to build out neighborhood networks that have changed the face of our city."

Charges still against 39 indicted in church protest

Nekima Levy Armstrong,a local civil rights activist and lawyer, said at the news conference with Hussein that Noem should have been fired after the deaths of Good and Pretti.

Levy Armstrong, an ordained nondenominational Christian reverend, is also one of39 people indictedfor their alleged roles in aprotest in Januaryat a St. Paul church where a pastor, David Easterwood, is a top local ICE official. She said that she'd been praying for a day like Thursday when Noem was fired.

"So while we celebrate the fact that this woman has been removed from her high perch — where she thought she was untouchable, she thought she could literally allow these agents to get away with murder — we recognize that this system is very broken," Levy Armstrong said.

Safety for school children

Brenda Lewis, superintendent of Fridley Public Schools in suburban Minneapolis, said Noem's firing "doesn't really matter" because the safety of children in her school district is still impacted.

Fridley, which has students from many Somali and Ecuadorian families, has been the site of heightened ICE activity over the past two months. Federal vehicles were found in neighborhoods near the schools and at the homes of school board members.

Of the around 2,700 students in the district, more than 112 have unenrolled, Lewis said. Another 400 are in virtual learning. The district has also lost $130,000 in revenue because of lower participation in meal programs.

"It's not a Democrat or a Republican issue," Lewis said. "It's about children's safety, and we need to really come together and ensure that this absolute removal of safety for school children by a federal agency can never ever happen again in the state or the country."

GOP lawmakers in Minnesota have muted reaction

While the state's top Republican leaders had generally supported Noem's leadership of the surge, they've been mostly silent on her downfall. A message seeking comment from U.S. House Majority Whip Tom Emmer — the state's most powerful Republican — was not immediately returned Friday.

But GOP state Sen. Jim Abeler, a moderate from suburban Anoka, noted that he wrote Noem in January expressing "grave concerns" about actions by some of her officers in Minnesota.

"With her departure, I hope that what happened in Minnesota won't happen anywhere else," Abeler said in a statement.

Brook reported from New Orleans, while Raza reported from Sioux Falls, S.D.

NFL mock draft: First-round projection after Trent McDuffie trade

After starting all 17 games for New England in 2025 – plus all four postseason games, including Super Bowl 60 – Bradbury will play out the second and final year of his deal in the Windy City.
