Murky Trump DHS case falls apart as 'new evidence' undermines case

The Trump administration claimed in a new court filing that it discovered "new evidence" in a case where it charged migrants with attacking immigration officers, which made the initial lawsuit even murkier, according to a new report.

In early February, the Trump administration filed charges against two immigrant men who were accused of attacking Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers with a shovel and a broom, an incident that left one individual with a gunshot wound in his leg. Officers also nabbed a 19-year-old witness to the event, who happened to be a romantic partner of one of the two other men involved.

On Thursday, the Trump administration moved to dismiss the charges, citing "newly discovered evidence" that called the initial charges into question, Politico's Kyle Cheney reported.

"Newly discovered evidence in this matter is materially inconsistent with the allegations in the Complaint Affidavit, filed on January 16, 2026 ... as well as the preliminary-hearing testimony ... that was based on information presented to the Affiant," U.S. Attorney Daniel Rosen in Minnesota wrote in his court filing. "Accordingly, dismissal with prejudice will serve the interests of justice."

VanEck Targets Stablecoins & Next-Gen ICOs

VanEck Targets Stablecoins & Next-Gen ICOs

The post VanEck Targets Stablecoins & Next-Gen ICOs appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Welcome to the US Crypto News Morning Briefing—your essential rundown of the most important developments in crypto for the day ahead. Grab a coffee because the firms shaping crypto’s future are not just building products, but also trying to reshape how capital flows. Crypto News of the Day: VanEck Maps Next Frontier of Crypto Venture Investing VanEck, a Wall Street player known for financial “firsts,” is pushing that legacy into Web3. The firsts include pioneering US gold funds and launching one of the earliest spot Bitcoin ETFs. Sponsored Sponsored “Financial instruments have always been a kind of tokenization. From seashells to traveler’s checks, from relational databases to today’s on-chain assets. You could even joke that VanEck’s first gold mutual funds were the original ‘tokenized gold,’” Juan C. Lopez, General Partner at VanEck Ventures, told BeInCrypto. That same instinct drives the firm’s venture bets. Lopez said VanEck goes beyond writing checks and brings the full weight of the firm. This extends from regulatory proximity to product experiments to founders building the next phase of crypto infrastructure. Asked about key investment priorities, Lopez highlighted stablecoins. “We care deeply about three questions: How do we accelerate stablecoin ubiquity? What will users want to do with them once highly distributed? And what net new assets can we construct now that we have sophisticated market infrastructure?” Lopez added. However, VanEck is not limiting itself to the hottest narrative, acknowledging that decentralized finance (DeFi) is having a renaissance. The VanEck executive also noted that success will depend on new approaches to identity and programmable compliance layered on public blockchains.
