Photos and videos posted to social media on Monday evening showed thousands of people standing outside waiting to enter Madison Square Garden. Some fans were forced to wait more than 3 hours to get inside, Senior NBA reporter for ESPN, Ben Golliver, wrote on X. Fans were told to arrive two hours early as part of the enhanced security measures triggered by Trump's attendance at the game. Trump's choice to attend the game, the first for a sitting U.S. president, also forced a watch party planned outside of the stadium to be cancelled as police set up a multi-block security perimeter, preventing anyone without a ticket from entering the area. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer shared a photo of fans stuck in lines, writing on X: "All because Donald Trump wanted to make it about himself. I trust New Yorkers will let him hear how they feel about that."

Trump Is Loudly Booed While Attending Game 3 Of The NBA FinalsPresident Donald Trump was loudly and overwhelmingly booed while attending Game 3 of the NBA Finals at Madison Square Garden on Monday evening, making it the latest sporting event where he’s been met with a frosty reception. Trump, who attended the game as a guest of Knicks owner James Dolan, was vocally jeered when his face was shown on camera during the National Anthem at the start of the game.Many Knicks fans had been critical of Trump’s attendance, which led to arduous and time-consuming security measures, and the cancellation of a watch party right outside the stadium. Some argued that his presence was ruining the celebratory vibes of the event, while others denounced his political positions. Monday’s game marked the latest instance of Trump facing backlash at a prominent sporting event. Previously, he’d been booed while attending a Washington Commanders game, the U.S. Open and the FIFA Club World Cup.Federal Prosecutors Won’t Pursue Death Penalty In Minnesota Lawmaker Shootings, DOJ SaysFederal prosecutors won’t pursue the death penalty in the case of Vance Boelter, the man accused of shooting two Minnesota lawmakers and their partners, the Justice Department revealed Monday. Prosecutors said they decided not to seek the death penalty because the underlying stalking charges Boelter faced were likely not eligible for a capital punishment penalty, DOJ officials told multiple outlets."Prosecutors worked hard on this case to make sure he was held accountable to the fullest extent possible,” Emily Covington, a Justice Department spokesperson, told The New York Times.

Minnesota State Sen. John Hoffman and his wife Yvette Hoffman were also shot and wounded inside their home.

Sellner recently hosted Bovino as the star guest at his Portugal event, “Remigration Summit 2026,” as the journalist (and former HuffPost reporter) Christopher Mathias reported.The Bovino2028.com website repeatedly refers to the former Border Patrol official — who was the face of Trump’s immigration enforcement blitzes in Los Angeles, Chicago, Minneapolis and elsewhere — in the third-person, simply as “The Commander.”The website lauds The Commander for “quelling the foreign hordes that have subsumed our nation’s cities,” despite the United States, unfortunately, having “already fallen to the grasps of the foreign global one-world hellscape ushered in by Barack Hussein Obama.”Bovino, it continues, can “usher in the great restoration of America.”Bovino was demoted from his Border Patrol “commander-at-large” title, and ultimately retired from the government, after federal agents in Minneapolis shot and killed two people, Renee Good and Alex Pretti.See All Updates
