A 55-year-old woman who pleaded guilty to a charge related to her slapping the mask off a federal officer during a protest in San Diego, California, has been sentenced.

Jeane “Bleu” Wong was facing a year in prison for the misdemeanor charge of assault on a federal officer over an incident that unfolded on July 2, 2025, in Linda Vista.

‘Today, not only did I get justice, but all the puppies of the world also got justice.’

Wong was among the protesters who showed up to oppose a targeted enforcement operation by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents at the Mesa Vista Apartments.

The woman was grabbed by the forearms by an agent after she refused to step out of a police perimeter, and she responded by slapping the agent on the left side of his face. The officer’s mask slipped down his face as a result.

Wong pleaded guilty to the charge in February.

“I chose to plead guilty because I did unmask an agent, no matter what the circumstances before that,” she admitted. “But I will never normalize giving unchecked power over myself, over my family, over you, my neighbors, my kids, to any agency that does not follow basic standards.”

On Thursday, U.S. District Judge Allison H. Goddard sentenced Wong to 45 days of house arrest, allowing her to avoid any time in prison.

The preschool owner said she would continue her advocacy and even fired off a jab at Kristi Noem after she was removed as secretary of the Department of Homeland Security.

“Today, not only did I get justice, but all the puppies of the world also got justice,” she said, referencing Noem’s puppy-killing controversy.

However, Wong faces another charge from Jan. 2026 related to her allegedly joining an anti-ICE protest to barricade the San Diego mayor’s office. That charge violated her bail conditions, which led to her being ordered to wear an ankle monitor.

Wong was held for 31 hours after her assault arrest, and she claims that her detention conditions were inhumane because they included solitary confinement and lack of bathroom access. Those allegations have not been confirmed.

Her wife said she was relieved over the relatively lenient sentence.

“I’m always by her side and very proud of her, but it’s always scary to know that you can be criminalized for something that is good,” Tin-Lok Wong said.

Once again, the popular “ding-dong ditch” prank — in which young people bang on front doors of homes, typically late at night, and run away — has ended with a teenager getting shot.

Sheriff Mike McCormick of Garland County, Arkansas, said a 16-year-old male suffered a gunshot wound during a reported “ding-dong ditch” prank in the area of Marion Anderson Road on Feb. 27.

‘Trespassing, terrorizing, and damaging property.’

The sheriff said the 911 Communications Center late in the evening received multiple complaints of vehicles in the area with subjects wearing hoods and masks who were kicking and hitting residential doors.

While patrol deputies were performing an initial investigation, officials said they received another report about a subject who suffered a gunshot wound and was at a local hospital.

Sheriff’s office investigators responded in order to collect surveillance, witness statements, and related evidence, officials said, and they determined that reports of subjects kicking and hitting residential doors and the shooting were related incidents.

Officials indeed said the subjects were engaging in the “ding-dong ditch” prank.

The sheriff’s office said the identities of those involved “will not be released at this time. This is an active investigation.”

A KATV-TV video report shared security camera clips from several homes in the neighborhood stemming from the incident; the station said the prank was under way around 11 p.m.

The station said “in camera footage from one residence in that area, you can see a hooded and masked individual getting out of a black pickup truck, running through the front yard of the residence and up the walkway, slamming his fist on the door, and then running off.”

More from KATV:

The video then shows the individual getting back into the truck and accelerating quickly, with another black truck and a white car following behind him.

Those same vehicles are shown in this camera footage from another residence in the area.

The same masked individual — who is running in flip-flops — launches his body into the home’s garage door, setting off what sounds like an alarm before running back into the truck and speeding off.

The station reported that one of the homeowners said the incident didn’t resemble similar pranks she knew of growing up. In fact, KATV said she characterized the behavior as “trespassing, terrorizing, and damaging property.”

In January, North Carolina officials said a “ding-dong ditch” prank ended with a homeowner firing multiple rounds at a car — and a juvenile passenger was shot.

Blaze News has reported on a number of additional related incidents — and some have been deadly:

In 2025, a Texas homeowner fatally shot an 11-year-old playing “ding-dong ditch.”Earlier in 2025, a Virginia homeowner was charged with murder after a high school senior was fatally shot amid what surviving teens say was a “ding-dong ditch” prank.Also in 2025, four juveniles most definitely choose the wrong house to prank with the “ding-dong ditch” game — given the homeowner reportedly ended up getting charged with six felonies, including first-degree robbery, two counts of armed criminal action, unlawful use of a weapon, and unlawful possession of a firearm.In 2024, a 30-year-old male used a handgun to shoot 14 rounds at teenagers playing a “ding-dong-ditch” prank — and he wounded one of them, police in Maine said.Also in 2024, police said an 85-year-old rammed a car into two teens who played a version of the “ding-dong ditch” prank on him in Canada.In 2023, a teen was hospitalized after a Delaware state trooper allegedly “beat the living hell” out of the boy over a “ding-dong-ditch” prank.Also in 2023, a California man was convicted of murdering three teenagers after a “ding-dong ditch” prank that included “mooning.”And in 2021, a retired cop faced kidnapping charges over what he allegedly did to an 11-year-old who pulled a “ding-dong ditch” prank on him.

Media reports that the U.S. Attorney’s office had ended the investigation into alleged misuse of the autopen by the former Biden administration are contradicted by a Fox News report.

Critics of the Biden administration have suggested that former President Joe Biden’s mental acuity deteriorated to the point that he would have no longer been able to properly authorize the use of the autopen at the end of his term.

‘These types of cases are tough. Executive privilege issues come into play.’

While the alleged misuse of the autopen has been investigated since June 2025, the New York Times reported Thursday that U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro had ended the effort. A CBS News report said two sources confirmed the decision to drop the criminal probe.

However, a senior Justice Dept. source familiar with the matter told Fox News that the investigation is ongoing, despite admitting that Biden is unlikely to be indicted on any charges.

“These types of cases are tough. Executive privilege issues come into play,” the official said.

“It’s hard to imagine how [Biden] could be criminally liable for pardon power,” the official added.

On Thursday, Pirro offered a brief statement on the report, saying, “We cannot comment on ongoing investigations.”

The former president has vehemently denied the allegations and defended the use of the autopen under his administration.

“Let me be clear: I made the decisions during my presidency,” Biden said in comments from June. “I made the decisions about the pardons, executive orders, legislation, and proclamations. Any suggestion that I didn’t is ridiculous and false.”

A White House memorandum at the time called the “conspiracy” of the autopen “one of the most dangerous and concerning scandals in American history.”

In February, Pirro also reportedly dropped the effort to indict six Democrats who appeared in a video calling on military members to deny following “unlawful orders” from the administration. The president excoriated the Democrats over the video he called “seditious” and even warned that the punishment for treason is execution.

“It was sedition at the highest level, and sedition is a major crime. There can be no other interpretation of what they said!” he said at the time.

In the wake of the United States and Israel’s joint military operation against Iran, some people — even “some of the president’s former supporters in right-wing media,” says Glenn Beck — are spreading the narrative that Trump has been “duped by Israel” into starting a war with Iran.

Is the man globally known for being impervious to pressure really acting under Israel’s influence?

To get the truth about the president’s motivation, Glenn speaks with Lara Trump, President Trump’s daughter-in-law.

Lara’s immediate response to the suggestion that “Israel has dragged Donald Trump into this war” is laughter.

“The only person who makes decisions for Donald Trump is Donald Trump,” she says.

“He takes account of what people around him have to say. He likes to get a lot of opinions, a lot of thoughts, which any smart person and any good leader would actually do. But then he’s the person who makes that decision,” the former RNC chair adds.

To those who are accusing the president of abandoning the “America First” agenda, she argues that crippling the Iranian regime is in America’s — and the world’s — best interest.

“Let’s be really clear when it comes to Iran. This is a regime that has been for nearly 50 years chanting ‘death to America’ and ‘death to Israel.’ … They were on the verge of developing a nuclear weapon. That would have been detrimental not only to the United States, but to the entire world,” Lara tells Glenn.

“This president has always said he wants to put America first. You don’t have an America if Iran has a nuclear weapon because we know they would have deployed it on us. They want to wipe us off the map,” she continues.

She says that “no one has made any decision [about Iran] other than this president” and that his decisive action was solely “based on the intelligence … his assessment of things … [and] on the fact that he wants to put America first and protect American citizens above all else.”

“I have personally been told over and over again for 25 years … [Iran] could be weeks away [from developing a nuclear weapon],” says Glenn. “What was it this time that made him go, ‘We have to take care of it right now’?”

Lara’s answer is profound: “I obviously don’t get the detailed intelligence briefings like he does, but I’ll just say this … I think he definitely, without a shadow of a doubt, believes that his life was spared in Butler, Pennsylvania, so that he could go on to lead this country, and he was made for such a time as this.”

A user of the Claude artificial intelligence assistant by Anthropic reported vastly different responses to simple prompts about racial “pride.”

The user posted a screenshot of Claude apparently replying, “Racism,” when prompted to “describe white pride using only one word.”

‘Anthropic is in trouble because I fired [them] like dogs, because they shouldn’t have done that.’

When it was prompted to “describe black pride using only one word,” the screenshot showed that it replied, “Empowerment.”

Blaze News was able to independently replicate the responses from Claude and also received the response “heritage” when it was prompted to “describe brown pride using only one word.”

Tech entrepreneur Elon Musk, who owns the AI competitor Grok, amplified the criticism of Claude on the X social media platform, which he also owns.

In response to a user’s claim that Claude is “racist,” Musk replied, “Yes.”

That post garnered more than 13 million views in less than seven hours.

Anthropic was criticized by President Donald Trump after negotiations between the AI start-up and the Department of War failed to reach an agreement.

“I fired Anthropic. Anthropic is in trouble because I fired [them] like dogs, because they shouldn’t have done that,” the president said Thursday.

However, negotiations between the department and Anthropic were reported to have resumed on that same day.

Anthropic indicated that the rift was caused by a disagreement over whether its software could be used for domestic mass surveillance or fully autonomous weapons.

A request for comment from Anthropic about the post was not immediately returned.

President Donald Trump’s Department of Homeland Security scored a significant legal win on Thursday regarding its immigration enforcement surge.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement launched Operation Midway Blitz in September, intending to target criminal illegal aliens hiding behind sanctuary policies in Chicago, Illinois.

‘President Trump is trying to protect American citizens while local elected officials REFUSE to do so.’

The following month, organizations representing journalists and residents filed a complaint against the Trump administration, accusing federal agents of responding to the protesters “with a pattern of extreme brutality in a concerted and ongoing effort to silence the press and civilians.”

The plaintiffs claimed that federal agents had “injured and sickened” civilians and the press through the use of force and tear gas.

“The officers are not physically threatened,” the complaint read.

The lawsuit requested that the court prevent federal agents from continuing to use alleged “unconstitutional tactics.”

In November, a federal judge in Chicago issued a broad injunction in response to the complaint, placing restrictions on the use of force.

“The use of force shocks the conscience,” U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis stated.

The Department of Homeland Security appealed the federal judge’s ruling, calling the injunction “an extreme act by an activist judge that risks the lives and livelihoods of law enforcement officers.”

On Thursday, the 7th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals ruled 2-1 to lift the injunction, claiming that the lower court had “granted an overbroad, constitutionally suspect injunction.”

Attorney General Pam Bondi called the appeals court’s decision “a huge legal win” for Trump.

“President Trump is trying to protect American citizens while local elected officials REFUSE to do so. @thejusticedept attorneys were proud to argue this case. We will continue fighting and WINNING for the President’s law-and-order agenda,” Bondi wrote in a post on X.

The plaintiffs previously requested that Ellis dismiss the case after the operation had wound down. The judge granted that motion in January.

The appeals court was critical of Ellis’ decision to dismiss the lawsuit without prejudice, stating that “any class members or the lead plaintiffs could refile these claims tomorrow.”

“They could ask the district court to reinstate a near-identical preliminary injunction, adopting the facts and legal reasoning from the district court’s order,” the majority wrote, adding that they could “help avoid that pitfall by vacating the order that depends on these conclusions.”

BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales’ first documentary on H-1B visa abuse was only the beginning. What started as an investigation into shell companies listing residential addresses has expanded into something far larger: office “hives” where dozens of businesses claim the same suite number while sponsoring foreign workers whose physical presence is difficult to verify.

“One of the things we’re noticing as we dig through all of this data, the issue isn’t just multiple people working out of one location, which by the way, there’s nothing wrong with, right? There’s nothing wrong with that. But what we’re seeing is multiple businesses opening out of a single location and then sponsoring visas,” Gonzales explains.

“Now we’re calling these hives, multiple companies listing the same address on their paperwork. For example, in this one office,” she continues, “… we found at least 19 companies so far that use this single suite all at the same time.”

“Either they’re listing it as their business address, or they’re saying that they have workers there present at that work site location,” she adds.

When Gonzales visited another “hive,” she was told by a woman on site that the companies she was looking for were not there anymore or never come into the office.

“Very strange. Why are all of these companies listing a suite when the companies clearly don’t exist here? It’s an address to an entire building. They say they’ve never heard of any of these companies, and the companies that they have heard of never come in. We’d never see these people. They have no physical presence at this location,” Gonzales says.

When confronted by Gonzales, the husband of the owner of one company she was investigating explained that they went through the legal process to get seven H-1B workers approved — but those workers never showed up.

However, his wife, the legitimate owner, claimed they were all at the office.

“The funny thing about all these public access files is that a business has to maintain them even if their employees apparently never even come,” Gonzales says, playing a clip of the husband asking what a “public access file” is.

“These people are legally required to maintain their public access files, even after the employment ends for a period of time. But here’s the thing. These files are just, they’re just basic. A couple of word documents,” Gonzales says.

And while Gonzales isn’t declaring “fraud” just yet, she does point out that “there are enough holes in the story here” that “show how easy it is for companies to just get approved for visa workers, only for them to just vanish into thin air.”

“They could literally be anywhere right now,” she says, adding, “We have no idea.”
