Following weeks of protest in Minnesota, residents of Phoenix, Arizona are now responding to federal agents descending on their city … and fresh video shows a crowd blasted by pepper-spray in a drive-by attack by DHS officers.

In new video, protesters gather at a sidewalk to yell at two trucks driving past ... and get hosed in their faces by pepper-spray without real provocation. Watch the clip ... people hold signs and chant in the parking lot of Zipps Sports Grill in north Phoenix when two unmarked pickup trucks pull up.

The video shows the passenger-side window of the second truck open, and a torrent of pepper-spray is fired at the group standing on the sidewalk. The men inside -- later identified by a local news outlet as HSI officers -- drive off as one pedestrian is brought to their knees by the chemicals.

Coco Gauff's racket-smashing tantrum at the Australian Open drew some backlash ... but not from Serena Williams, who came to the tennis star's defense -- and even offered some tips!!

Williams' husband, Alexis Ohanian, started it off ... going on X to write a message after Gauff took out her frustrations out on her equipment after losing to Ukraine's Elina Svitolina on Tuesday.

Michael Rapaport's putting the blame on riffing for his controversial comment about Colton Underwood on the hit show "Traitors" ... claiming the seemingly homophobic remark came out while he was spitballing at the table, and no one interrupted him.

The actor further clarified his low moment in an interview with Andy Cohen on 'Watch What Happens Live' Tuesday night ... telling the host he wasn't taking a shot at Colton's previous reluctance to come out as gay -- he was just running his mouth.

Rapaport says he went into defense mode when Colton and his alliance came after him ... and, he simply started rattling off arguments against Colton and his costars, believing someone else at the table would eventually jump in.

President Donald Trump says he has his doubts about the strange syringe attack on Rep. Ilhan Omar Tuesday night ... claiming she "probably" set the incident up herself!

Notably, he reportedly admitted he didn't see the video of the attack ... and he said "I hope I don't have to bother," according to Scott.

Heidi Klum enjoys a relaxing massage from time to time ... particularly with a large bowl of potato chips!

Then the camera pans up Heidi's naked body covered somewhat by a sheet with her snacking on the chips and making loud crunching noises.

Hilary Duff brought her Small Rooms, Big Nerves tour to New York City Tuesday night ... but her sister Haylie was busy hanging out with Ashley Tisdale and their kids following the "toxic" mom group drama.

Check out the snap Haylie posted on her Story Tuesday -- it shows her 7-year-old Lulu playing under a table with Ashley's daughter Jupiter, 4. Ashley showed her seal of approval by reposting the story to her own account.

Notably, it's reported Ashley sold Haylie her Studio City, Calif. home in 2016, so there's some history between the pair. Haylie is now based out of her home state of Texas.

Rashee Rice has yet to address abuse allegations made by his ex-girlfriend, Dacoda Jones, earlier this month ... and that remained the case when we directly asked him about them at LAX on Tuesday.

Rice, who wore a purple hat with a black sweatshirt at the airport, elected to stay quiet ... despite the NFL and his employer, the Kansas City Chiefs, acknowledging the claims ... with the former launching an investigation.

Chaos at a Minnesota town hall where Rep. Ilhan Omar was speaking ... a man rushed up to the podium and squirted her with an unknown substance ... and it's all on video.

The Congresswoman was meeting in her Minneapolis district Tuesday for her first town hall since Border Patrol agents shot and killed Alex Pretti when she was approached by the liquid-spraying maniac.

Ryan Reynolds' camp is defending his unsealed texts from the Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni legal war ... and their position is he's a good husband sticking up for his wife.

A spokesperson for Reynolds tells TMZ … "Yes, Ryan got involved -- what husband wouldn’t support his wife and the mother of his children? He saw his wife fighting daily to stand up against sexual harassment in a private and respectful way, only to face retaliation for doing so."

The rep adds ... "If anything, Ryan feels like he wasn't angry enough. He passionately believes in and will stand up for the basic right to a safe workplace free of harassment and retaliation for his wife and others. Then, now, and always."

Denise Richards wants a judge to stop ex-husband Aaron Phypers from getting half of her hard-earned OnlyFans money ... and she says he missed an important deadline that could blow up in his face.

According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Denise is begging a judge to deny Aaron's request for half of the $200,000-$300,000 he says she makes every month on OF.

Denise says Aaron's request should be denied because he failed to file an updated income and expense declaration with the court. She says Aaron missed a Friday deadline and hasn't filed anything as of Tuesday.

Sydney Sweeney shouldn't get a free pass for lacing the iconic Hollywood sign with brassieres ... at least according to an artist who got arrested for changing the landmark to read "HOLLYWEED."

Zach Fernandez, also known as Jesushands, tells TMZ … when he famously altered the Hollywood sign in 2017, he got arrested for trespassing and had to pay a fine and complete community service. SS should be held to the same standard.

As we first told you, Sydney's stunt was legally dicey ... and now Zach says she should be held to the same standard as him.

Bill Belichick -- arguably the greatest football coach of all-time -- has inexplicably come up short his first time on the Hall of Fame ballot ... meaning the man with 8 rings will NOT be going into Canton this year!

As you'd expect, upon hearing the ludicrous news, everyone around the sport was left questioning ... how?

Belichick's resume is unmatched. He is a 6x Super Bowl-winning head coach, and he won two more as an assistant for the New York Giants. Bill was named the AP NFL Coach of the Year three times, and he won 333 games as an HC, including the playoffs.
