Arlington, Texas

A nurse in Michigan has been criminally charged with helping an immigrant detainee escape from federal custody at a hospital where she worked. Chloe Renae Freeman, 33, of Whitmore Lake, was charged in late August after allegedly helping a Mexican national escape ICE custody at Trinity Health Ann Arbor Hospital, according to a federal criminal complaint unsealed Tuesday.

The man had injured himself while attempting to flee ICE agents on May 28 and was taken to the hospital for treatment, including a CT scan. Security footage showed him leaving through ambulance bay doors within minutes of Freeman removing him from the scan room; he has not been located since. Freeman reportedly told investigators she knew she was helping him escape, citing disagreement with ICE's family separation practices and concern for his injuries. Trinity Health confirmed she no longer works there. Freeman appeared in federal court in Detroit and plans to plead not guilty, her attorney said. The case underscores heightened scrutiny of interactions between healthcare workers and immigration enforcement.

President Donald Trump toured the National Medal of Honor Museum in Arlington, Texas, and delivered remarks before signing the Hershel "Woody" Williams National Medal of Honor Monument Location Act. Fifteen of the 65 living Medal of Honor recipients attended the event, including Captain Royce Williams, honored for a solo dogfight against seven Soviet pilots during the Korean War, along with several Global War on Terrorism veterans.

The new law authorizes the National Medal of Honor Museum Foundation to establish a commemorative work on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., honoring recipients of the nation's highest military decoration. It is named for Woody Williams, a Marine who received the medal for destroying Japanese fortifications with a flamethrower during the Battle of Iwo Jima in World War II.

First authorized in 1861, the Medal of Honor has been awarded 3,536 times to 3,517 recipients, with 19 individuals receiving it twice. The museum opened in March 2025 and has drawn praise since. Trump also made light remarks about awarding himself the medal, which he is barred from doing.
