11:47 AM PT -- Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin tells TMZ, “Yesterday morning when making the arrest of an illegal alien from Peru at 26 Federal Plaza, officers were swarmed by agitators and members of the press, which obstructed operations."

She continues, "Officers repeatedly told the crowd of agitators and journalists to get back, move, and get out of the elevator. Rioters and sanctuary politicians who encourage individuals to interfere with arrests are actively creating hostile environments that put officers, detainees and the public in harm’s way."

McLaughlin adds, "For context: this ICE building in NYC has been the target of multiple threats including assaults on law enforcement by sanctuary politicians and activists, a bomb threat, and a threatening letter with a white suspicious powder. Following last week’s terrorist attack, we are particularly concerned with our officers' safety. Again, we are urging the media and politicians to stop fanning the flames of division and stop demonization of law enforcement.”

Diddy's headed for sentencing in his federal criminal case ... because the judge rejected his request for a new trial and to acquit him of his Mann Act conviction.

Judge Arun Subramanian wrote in his 16-page order there's plenty of evidence proving Diddy violated the Mann Act by transporting male escorts across state lines for the purposes of prostitution during his infamous freak-offs. Diddy's freak-offs were marathon sex sessions between his girlfriends and male escorts, with Diddy watching and often recording them.

In the order, the judge said Diddy was right when he argued in his motions for acquittal and a new trial that "the Mann Act’s text and application have changed over the last century."

12:14 PM PT -- The parenting plan says the kids will spend 306 days with Nicole and 59 days with Keith. They agreed that all major decisions involving their kids, including education and health care, will be made jointly.

12:12 PM PT -- Nicole cited "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for the divorce. She wants to remain the "primary residential parent of the minor children." Both Nicole and Keith waived any spousal support and child support. There is, however, a clause which states Keith has prepaid "child support obligations." And they each will retain their own assets, which suggests there is a prenup.

11:58 AM PT -- We have seen a divorce document which says, "Marital Dissolution Agreement," signed by both Nicole and Keith. The agreement includes a parenting plan and a child support worksheet. It also includes a Parenting Seminar Order.

Rod Wave's "Last Lap" tour didn't conclude as planned, and the Florida rapper is now staring down a new lawsuit filed by concert giant Grizzly Touring, who says Wave made costly mistakes ... to the tune of $27 million!!!

According to legal docs, obtained by TMZ Hip Hop, Grizzly claims Rod Wave and Hit House Entertainment owe the touring company approximately $27 million in unearned advances, insisting the "Rags To Riches" star flat out REFUSED to honor his contractual obligations to secure exclusivity to his live performances.

Grizzly says they advanced Rod Wave and were set to pay him $40,250,000 for 35 shows -- and even advanced him $20,125,000 upfront to cover various costs, including production ... and then advanced even more money for various expenses, bringing the grand total to more than $57 million.

Yet to date, the touring giant says Rod has only performed 26 shows, earning $29,900,000 against the guarantee, and Grizzly says he or Hit House haven't complied with their demands for the extra $27 million owed on the advances!!!

To add insult to injury, Grizzly says they've been watching Rod's pockets and saw how he spent the unearned advance money on private jets and a lavish 2nd home.

The lawsuit claims Rod Wave also announced plans to launch a new tour through his own touring company ... which Grizzly says is a blatant violation of his obligation to give them exclusivity under the contract.

All in all, Grizzly says it is owed more than $27 million for the advances plus additional damages for their lost profits ... and they want the judge to block Wave from performing any concerts in violation of the exclusivity provision of their deal.

Napheesa Collier didn't exactly hold back about her views on the WNBA's brass in a post-season exit interview -- and she had some choice words about the league's commissioner, Cathy Engelbert, to boot.

The Minnesota Lynx star went scorched-earth in her statement, and claimed the WNBA managed to have "the worst leadership in the world" despite having some of the best players and fans out there, according to CBS Sports.

Collier claimed the WNBA's brass, including Engelbert, wasn't looking out for their players' best interests and described the attitude taken towards athletes' concerns as "dismissive."

The athlete claimed she'd had a conversation with Engelbert in February in which the latter brushed off her concerns about issues with officiating games.

Oh, and she also alleged the commissioner stated Caitlin Clark should have been "grateful" to play in the league despite her official salary not being reflective of the popularity she brought to the WNBA.

It reportedly only took a few hours for Engelbert to respond to Collier's comments, and the commissioner claimed she was "disheartened" by the athlete's remarks.
