Court Blocks Repeat Of Trump’s One-Off July 4th Fireworks Over Mount Rushmore

WASHINGTON — Despite a lawsuit and a month-long battle South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem will not get to have a fireworks display over Mount Rushmore for July 4th. Last month, a federal judge blocked Noem’s efforts to force the National Park Service to grant the state a permit to shoot fireworks at Mount Rushmore National Memorial to celebrate Independence Day this year. “The Biden Administration canceled South Dakota’s Mount Rushmore Fireworks Celebration on completely arbitrary grounds,” Noem said in a June 2 statement. Rushmore two weeks ago, said “anyone who travels you have to stop and see Mount Rushmore because it is quintessentially American because I have heard about all my life.”“In terms of fireworks and safety I have no opinion. “Most people know and talk about Laura Ingalls, but Carrie was her younger sister who lived here in Keystone,” he said.

'Domestic' terrorists could target July 4 holiday events, but no known plots: Feds

Such bulletins are routinely distributed in the days before a major national holiday, but previous bulletins have often focused on homegrown terrorists inspired by overseas groups like ISIS or al-Qaeda rather than domestic terrorists radicalized by domestic issues such as abortion or white supremacy. Meanwhile, the FBI is currently investigating about 850 suspected domestic terrorists, the official said. And since late last year, the agency has seen a significant uptick in domestic terrorism investigations involving white supremacists, officials told ABC News. In fact, there have been more arrests and deaths in the United States caused by domestic terrorists than international terrorists in recent years, the head of the FBI's counterterrorism division, Assistant Director Michael McGarrity, recently told a House panel. We ask members of the public to maintain awareness of their surroundings and to report any suspicious activity to law enforcement immediately.ABC News
