WATCH: Protesters at DC parade justify violent tactics ‘as long as they don’t hurt anyone’
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Protesters outside Saturday’s military parade in the nation’s capital did not explicitly condemn the violent tactics used at anti-Trump protests across the country in recent days, with at least one saying he «fully support[s]» the recent tactics used by protesters in Los Angeles, such as throwing rocks.
«I’m following my constitutional rights, I’m out here just simply saying what I want to feel. No one here is being violent. As you can see, there’s been no conflict,» said a college-aged protester who declined to identify himself but spoke to Fox News Digital.
«But you’re not worried about being conflated with those who are doing violence?» the activist was asked.

«I mean if they want to violate the Constitution, that’s on them. I can’t worry about that,» the protester responded. «I mean, maybe I should [be worried], but I believe in this Constitution, I’m going to live by it, I’m going to support my First Amendment.»

A separate protester in attendance outside Saturday’s parade said he «fully supported» those activists who «want to throw rocks» as long as they don’t hurt anyone in the process.
«Honestly – they have a right to be angry. They have a right to do what they feel like they need to do to stop this issue, to stop fascism,» he said. «And, honestly, I fully support that. I fully support if they’re angry and they want to go out and they want to throw rocks. As long as they don’t hurt anyone, you know, I can understand, I can honestly do.»

The anti-Trump protests that coincided with the military parade in D.C. on Saturday saw a few isolated incidents of violence but appeared mostly peaceful. However, the weekend was preceded by violent riots in Los Angeles that spread to other cities like New York and Chicago – reminiscent of the anti-police protests following the death of Minneapolis man George Floyd in the summer of 2020.
Protesters in Los Angeles threw rocks at law enforcement and several fires across the city erupted amid the chaos. There were reports of damage to federal buildings, including both immigration and non-immigration-related offices, that included graffiti threatening the lives of federal officials. At least one community care office for veterans, run by the Department of Veterans Affairs, was forced to shut down and cancel hundreds of appointments amid the violence. Many were arrested for clashing with police and the reverberations of the rioting have resulted in other tense clashes between police and activists across the country.
While no deaths have been directly attributed to political violence at recent protests across the country, including Los Angeles, fatalities have occurred at some protests around the country. In Utah, an innocent bystander was shot by a man who had been a part of the protest’s peacekeeping team, according to reports, while in Los Angeles a man was found dead outside a looted T-Mobile store amid the anti-ICE chaos, according to reports.
The peaceful protesters in D.C. suggested they were not in favor of any violence, but they did signal that they understood why protests in recent days across the country have been so intense that they lead to violence against police officers, property and sometimes more.
«I mean, I personally won’t do that, but I can understand after all of this, like, people are fed up. People are fed up with how the government has been treating people,» a protester told Fox News Digital Saturday. «The Republicans, the people in Congress, they do not care about people here, and so I can understand why people are that angry to do something like that, so, yeah, I fully understand.»

«I think it’s wrong to create violence, but, like, he said, I mean I think people have been angry for a long time,» a second protester added, noting he thinks Trump is the reason to blame for all the aggressive tactics, like throwing rocks, setting fires and vandalism.
«What Trump is doing, he knows the polarization and the anger he’s causing, so this is all part of his game plan. The National Guard in L.A., he caused that. He said go out there without Newsom saying anything. I mean, he knows what he’s doing, he wants to cause a rise out of people.»

Another protester present Saturday, who spoke to Fox News Digital, said she believed «being abrasive» is against the interests of those seeking to make change but that «history has proven that sometimes aggression is needed.»
«All respect to them, I think that they are doing what they think is right, but I think being very abrasive is against our interests, actually. I think it drives away a lot of people, it doesn’t really foster the conversations that we need,» a protester who identified herself as Sophie said. «I don’t think being aggressive is the way to go, but I think history has proven that sometimes aggression is needed, so, but I don’t want to be abrasive.»

Dems block DHS funding after GOP rejects their counter, Thune says Schumer ‘going in circles’
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Senate Democrats blocked a last-minute attempt by Republicans to end the Homeland Security shutdown after the GOP rejected their «unserious» counteroffer.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., forced a vote on the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) funding bill after swiftly killing Democrats’ offer earlier Wednesday afternoon. He accused their latest counter as «not even close to being real.»
«They know better,» Thune said. «They’re asking for things that have already been turned down. So it just seems like they’re going in circles.»
The spur-of-the-moment test vote on Wednesday was designed to see whether Republicans could splinter any support from Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and Senate Democrats’ unified front to support their own framework to reopen the agency, which Democrats already rejected on Tuesday.

But like the five times prior, the latest attempt was blocked by nearly every Senate Democrat.
Republicans are sticking by their initial offer, which would carve out Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) funding in exchange for reopening other agencies under the Homeland Security umbrella, including the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), among others.
Republicans were already fuming that Democrats did not take the deal, noting that sidelining immigration enforcement funding was one of their key demands. They also charged that Schumer and his caucus were backing away from previously negotiated positions.
Still, Senate Democrats are pushing for stringent reforms to ICE, including requiring judicial warrants for agents and banning DHS agents from wearing masks. Those provisions were among nine total demands added to the GOP framework. Those asks, in particular, have been firm red lines for Republicans throughout the shutdown.

Republicans have also consistently argued that if Democrats want reforms, they must be willing to fund immigration enforcement.
Schumer pushed back on the Senate floor shortly after announcing he had sent Republicans the latest offer, calling their accusations «bad faith» that «will only slow things down.»
«In fact, over the weekend, Democrats had constructive conversations in person with our Republican colleagues,» Schumer said. «They — the Republican colleagues — conceded that some of the reforms, verbally, that we have been looking for, they said these make sense.»
«We thought there might be a path forward on some of the ways to reform ICE and to get some of the things everybody knows ought to be in federal legislation,» he continued. «We thought there had been some progress. But then Republicans sent us their offer yesterday, and it contained none of what had been talked about.»
But Sen. Bernie Moreno, R-Ohio, who was part of the White House meeting that produced the DHS framework, accused Democrats of «backing up.»

«If you really want to cut to the chase — take all the [expletive] aside — here’s where we’re at,» Moreno said. «Democrats made an offer. Want to know what the offer is? They don’t want us to deport anybody who entered this country illegally or overstayed their visa unless that person committed a serious crime. That’s what they want. That’s obviously insane, because that’s the base that they deal with.»
Thune also argued that Republicans and the Trump administration have given Democrats much of what they wanted, including replacing former DHS Secretary Kristi Noem with newly confirmed Secretary Markwayne Mullin, ramping down immigration operations in Minnesota, and providing several other reforms.

Some Democrats want additional guardrails on how funding in the GOP framework would be handled — specifically to prevent money from being shifted within the agency and redirected to immigration operations.
Thune said there could be some room for that concession but reiterated that Democrats’ other demands were «unserious.» He also said there was «no point» in Republicans offering another counterproposal.
«This is, honestly, retreading ground that we’ve been treading for weeks,» Thune said.

EN VIVO: El régimen de Irán lanzó un ataque con misiles contra Israel: al menos 6 heridos
La guerra en Medio Oriente ha puesto de relieve la alianza recién descubierta entre el sector tecnológico y el ejército estadounidense tras décadas de relaciones tensas, demostrando una sinergia que los inversores ven como una mina de oro potencial.
Las aerolíneas asiáticas aumentan sus rutas a Europa a raíz de la guerra
Las principales aerolíneas asiáticas incrementaron sus rutas hacia Europa en el último mes, buscando consolidarse como alternativa en las conexiones intercontinentales ante la creciente inestabilidad en Medio Oriente, región que hasta el inicio de la guerra en Irán funcionaba como centro de la conexión aérea global.
Aunque las grandes compañías del Golfo Pérsico, como Emirates, Qatar Airways y Etihad Airways, con base en Dubái, Doha y Abu Dhabi respectivamente, continúan operando, han debido modificar sus servicios con cancelaciones y suspensiones frecuentes en respuesta a los ataques iraníes en la región.
Otras aerolíneas asiáticas, que no dependen del tránsito por Oriente Medio, aprovechan la situación para reforzar su posición en el mercado, compensar el aumento del precio del combustible y ganar cuota frente a sus competidores.
Cathay Pacific, con sede en Hong Kong, anunció nuevas suspensiones de vuelos a Dubái, Riad y Tel Aviv, y al mismo tiempo reforzó sus conexiones con Europa mediante la incorporación de viajes adicionales entre Hong Kong y París y Zúrich.
Israel confirmó que un soldado murió en un combate en el sur del Líbano

Atacan un petrolero operado por Turquía en el Mar Negro
Un petrolero operado por una compañía turca fue atacado la madrugada del jueves en el Mar Negro, posiblemente por un vehículo de superficie no tripulado, según informó el ministro de Transportes de Turquía, Abdulkadir Uraloglu.
“Puedo decir que un buque con bandera extranjera, operado por una compañía turca, que había cargado petróleo crudo procedente de Rusia, informó de una explosión en su sala de máquinas pasada la medianoche a nuestro centro de llamadas de emergencia”, declaró el ministro en una entrevista televisiva.
Uraloglu señaló que se cree que la sala de máquinas fue el objetivo específico del ataque y que no fue ejecutado por un dron, sino por un vehículo de superficie no tripulado a nivel del agua.
Al menos dos muertos y tres heridos en Emiratos Árabes Unidos tras la interceptación de un misil
Dos personas murieron y otras tres resultaron heridas en Abu Dhabi el jueves tras la caída de escombros provocada por la interceptación de un misil balístico. La Oficina de Prensa de Abu Dhabi informó que el incidente tuvo lugar en la carretera Sweihan, donde varios vehículos resultaron dañados.

Las bolsas europeas vuelven al terreno negativo ante mensajes contradictorios sobre el fin de la guerra
Los futuros de las principales bolsas europeas retroceden este jueves, mientras el precio del petróleo vuelve a subir en medio de mensajes contradictorios entre Estados Unidos e Irán sobre posibles negociaciones para poner fin al conflicto bélico.
Según datos de mercado recogidos por EFE, a las 7:30 horas (6:30 GMT), los futuros de la Bolsa de Fráncfort caen un 0,96%, los de París un 0,71% y los de Londres un 0,43%. Los futuros del índice Euro Stoxx 50, que agrupa a las 50 firmas más capitalizadas de la zona euro, bajan un 0,84%. En Estados Unidos, los futuros de los principales indicadores también anticipan una jornada en rojo, con descensos del entorno del 0,5%.
En paralelo, el precio del crudo brent para entrega en mayo se incrementa un 2,44% en el mercado de futuros de Londres, hasta los 104,69 dólares por barril, después de que Irán rechazara el plan estadounidense para poner fin a la guerra. De igual manera, el petróleo de Texas (WTI), referencia en EE.UU., sube un 2,24% antes de la apertura oficial del mercado, hasta los 92,52 dólares por barril.
La negativa de Irán a aceptar el plan de alto el fuego propuesto por Estados Unidos impacta nuevamente en los mercados, tras varias jornadas positivas para la renta variable. Los inversores también analizan la propuesta del Parlamento iraní para aprobar una ley que permita cobrar peaje a los buques que transiten por el estrecho de Ormuz, un paso estratégico por el que circula el 20 % del petróleo mundial.

Asciende a seis la cifra de heridos en los ataques de Irán contra Israel
El ejército israelí informó que sus defensas aéreas respondieron el jueves a ataques con misiles lanzados desde Irán, que, según los servicios médicos, dejaron seis personas levemente heridas y causaron algunos daños materiales.
Un portavoz del servicio médico de emergencias Magen David Adom indicó que los paramédicos atendieron a seis personas con heridas leves provocadas por las explosiones, actualizando la cifra anterior de dos heridos.
El jueves por la mañana, un portavoz de la MDA declaró a la radio pública que varias casas en la ciudad central de Kafr Qassem resultaron dañadas. El alcalde, Haitham Taha, afirmó que los daños fueron causados por municiones en racimo.
El estrecho de Ormuz permaneció paralizado durante la tercera semana de la guerra
Según el servicio de inteligencia marítima Windward, a pesar del cierre del estrecho, hay 686 barcos en el Golfo Pérsico. La mayoría de las embarcaciones, cerca de 400, se encuentran en el Golfo de Omán.
Windward afirmó que esta acumulación sugiere que “muchos operadores han optado por mantener su posición fuera del estrecho de Ormuz en lugar de comprometerse de inmediato con un cambio de ruta de larga distancia”.
Entre el 15 y el 22 de marzo, solo se observaron 16 travesías de buques con su Sistema de Identificación Automática (AIS) activado en el estrecho de Ormuz.
Un ataque iraní dejó dos heridos y causó daños en la ciudad israelí Kfar Qasim
La ciudad central de Kfar Qasim resultó dañada por lo que parecen ser submuniciones provenientes de la ojiva de una bomba de racimo, tras el último ataque con misiles balísticos lanzado por Irán, según informó un corresponsal de Times of Israel.
Equipos de rescate se desplazaron rápidamente al lugar. El hospital Magen David Adom informó que atendió a un hombre y una mujer, ambos de 55 años, que resultaron heridos tras una explosión ocurrida luego de que una pequeña bomba impactara contra un edificio en el centro de la ciudad.

FIRST ON FOX: Florida’s chief law enforcement officer announced Wednesday he will warn NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell that the NFL’s longstanding «Rooney Rule» mandating interviews for minority and ethnically diverse candidates is illegal in the Sunshine State.
The rule, named for late Pittsburgh Steelers owner Dan Rooney, who chaired the NFL’s Diversity Committee, went into effect in 2003 after Black coaches Tony Dungy and Dennis Green were fired the previous season despite strong win-loss records.
Attorney General James Uthmeier’s state hosts three teams — the Jacksonville Jaguars, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Miami Dolphins — and the AG invoked the latter.
INVESTIGATION OF NIKE’S DEI PRACTICES COULD HAVE MAJOR NATIONWIDE IMPACT ON HIRING, SAYS ALAN DERSHOWITZ

«As a Floridian, I wish the Miami Dolphins well with their new head football coach. As Florida’s chief legal officer, however, I write with a word of caution to the NFL on its race-and-sex-based hiring policies,» he wrote in a letter to Goodell obtained by Fox News Digital.
Goodell must, in turn, confirm no later than May 1 that the NFL will no longer enforce the Rooney Rule or any variation of it or face civil rights enforcement actions.
«As applied in Florida, the NFL’s ‘Rooney Rule,’ which governs the hiring of certain team executives and coaches, brazenly violates Florida law. So, too, do the NFL’s related ‘diversity’ initiatives,» the letter adds.
Uthmeier told Fox News Digital the NFL drafts players based on merit and should do the same in the front office.
«NFL teams are not going to hire an offensive lineman based on his race. So, why should hiring for positions off the field be based on illegal DEI quotas?» he said.
«DEI is discriminatory and illegal. The NFL doesn’t get special treatment, and any business operating in Florida is required to comply with Florida law. Good coaches are judged on wins, not the color of their skin.»

Uthmeier noted in his letter that expansions of the Rooney Rule now include women as a categorized qualifying minority and criticized provisions awarding third-round draft picks to teams that develop minority talent into GMs or head coaches as well as requiring the employment of a female or minority coach as an offensive assistant.
Uthmeier argued that Florida law bars employers from making hiring or workplace decisions based on protected characteristics such as race or sex, including any practices that could limit opportunities for certain groups.
«The Rooney Rule and its offshoots require precisely what Florida law forbids. They require teams to limit, segregate, and classify applicants for certain employment and training opportunities because of race and sex. And they do so in a way that tends to deprive applicants of opportunities for employment,» he wrote.
