Animal welfare activists converged outside of Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers’ Capitol office on Monday, chanting “Free the dogs!” and demanding that the governor and attorney general do what they can to shut down a beagle breeding and research facility where many of the protesters clashed with police two days earlier. An estimated 1,000 activists from around the country came to Ridglan Farms in an attempt Saturday to free an estimated 2,000 beagles kept there. Police repelled them with tear gas, rubber bullets and pepper spray. Many of those who were at the facility returned to the Capitol on Monday to demand that Evers take action. Ridglan has denied mistreating animals.

Iran's government is detaining family members of opposition figures in exile, according to some who spoke to The Associated Press. The crackdown on dissent comes amid the ongoing war with the United States and Israel. The internet shutdown during recent nationwide protests has made documenting these actions difficult. Iran "took my mother away to make me be quiet," one activist in exile says. Iran's judiciary is also seizing property of outspoken exiles. Rights groups report worsening conditions inside Iran, with increased detentions and executions. The situation has inspired new attempts to organize the Iranian opposition abroad.

Hundreds of employees at one of the U.S. Navy’s biggest shipbuilding contractors have voted to approve a deal with Bath Iron Works, ending a weeklong strike. The shipyard says members of the Bath Marine Draftsmen’s Association ratified a new four-year collective bargaining agreement Saturday that goes into effect immediately. Approval followed an hourslong union meeting at a high school in Maine. The shipyard and the union had negotiated for weeks without resolving differences before the strike began. The company has not responded to questions about whether the strike slowed production.
