An Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer was injured when he was struck by a van whose driver was fleeing from an arrest operation in Stafford Township in New Jersey, according to police.

A spokesperson for ICE said agents were trying to arrest Friedrich Castillo-Ormeno, of Peru, at about 9:30 a.m. on Route 72 in the Manahawkin community.

‘You just see the guy’s body just get twisted and mangled, and in that twist, you know, he then pulled out his gun and shot at the van.’

Castillo-Ormeno had been ordered to leave the country by the end of January, but when ICE agents tried to arrest him, he fled in his van and struck one of the officers, according to officials.

That officer fired his gun at the van and possibly blew out the vehicle’s back window.

Law enforcement officials are searching for Castillo-Ormeno and the van.

One witness described the incident in unnerving detail to WCAU-TV.

“They tell him to roll down his window; he’s inching forward, and you can tell it’s getting tense by his inching forward,” said Payton Johnson, a resident of the township.

“As soon as he gunned it, you just see the the front of the van, pin the lower half of the officer’s body into the officer’s car,” he added. “You just see the guy’s body just get twisted and mangled, and in that twist, you know, he then pulled out his gun and shot at the van.”

Sources told WCAU that the officer who was struck would recover.

A spokesperson for the Stafford Township Police said they were not involved in the ICE operation but were providing help to manage traffic and secure the crime scene. According to New Jersey’s Immigrant Trust Directive, police are restricted from helping federal immigration officers.

“ICE agents put their lives on the line every day to enforce our nation’s laws and protect our communities,” Republican Rep. Jeff Van Drew of New Jersey said in a statement.

“Yet too many politicians and activists continue to demonize them for doing the job they are sworn to do,” he added. “This incident is a reminder of the dangers these brave men and women face. I am grateful the agent is expected to recover, and I will always stand with ICE and law enforcement.”

The investigation into the incident has been taken over by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Vice President JD Vance is taking on those accused of immigration fraud and asylum approvals in the hope of completely turning back the clock on Biden-era policies that are still in play, explaining in an interview on Fox News just how this administration plans to do it.

“One of the angles that we’re looking at is the people who committed immigration fraud against our system and how do we denaturalize those people and send them back to where they came from,” Vance said.

“The Biden administration would often take people who were coming in on fraudulent asylum claims, fraudulent refugee claims, and basically wave the magic wand of amnesty and say, ‘We’re not going to enforce the immigration laws against those people,’” he continued.

“We stopped that from happening. But then you still have a lot of people who benefited from that Biden administration amnesty program. We’re trying to unwind as much of that as possible,” he added.

And even though “left-wing radicals in the justice system” have tried to stop the Trump administration, Vance explained that they’ve still found success.

“We have been able to denaturalize and actually unwind that temporary protected status, a lot of those fraudulent asylum claims,” he said, explaining that this will keep happening “so long as Donald Trump is president.”

“The good news is that we’re stopping the fraud that’s happening against the American taxpayer. The bad news is that my own children will never be able to attend school at the Quality Learing Center,” he joked.

“That ‘Learing Center’ has gotten a lot of mileage,” BlazeTV host Pat Gray laughs.

Parents of students in Fairfax County Public Schools say their opposition to a suggestion about religious holidays is being ignored, and they believe anti-Christian bias to blame.

The district asked parents whether they would be open to adding more instructional days to the school calendar at the expense of the holiday vacation that included Christmas Day.

‘Even though my friends are certainly against ignoring Christmas, the district won’t listen to us anyways because the leaders have their pre-selected conclusion.’

Stephanie Lundquist-Arora appeared on Fox News to voice her opposition to the change and noted that it was only the latest scheme by the school to cut out Christianity from the classroom.

“Fairfax leaders have an anti-Christian bias,” Lundquist-Arora said.

“In 2022, the school board voted to change spring break with the express purpose of decoupling it from Easter. And then in 2024, the county’s Board of Supervisors, the governing council, also voted to commemorate transgender visibility day on Easter,” she continued.

The mom of three students in the district went on to say that her friends were shocked at the suggestion by the district.

“This is just a drop in the bucket in showing their anti-Christian biases once again,” Lundquist-Arora added.

The text of the survey was published by WJLA-TV.

“Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) values your input as we plan future school calendars,” the email reads. “You are invited to complete a brief survey to share your priorities and perspectives, which will be considered as part of the calendar planning process. Your feedback matters, and we appreciate you taking a few minutes to respond.”

One of the questions reads: “If the school calendar required modifying one of the following, which would be the most acceptable to you?”

One option reads, “Winter break shorter than a full two weeks,” while another reads, “Eliminating holidays recognizing religious and cultural observances (e.g., Christmas, Diwali, Eid al-Fitr, Rosh Hashanah, and other observed holidays).”

They are given the option to say all of the options are “equally unacceptable.”

Board members of the district told WJLA that they had received thousands of message from parents demanding more weeks of five-day instruction be added to the school calendar. The report says that fewer than half of the weeks of instruction at Fairfax County Public Schools include a full five days.

Lundquist-Arora told Fox News that the district had previously ignored an overwhelming poll of parents.

“They sent out a survey asking if we wanted to have shared-sex classrooms for sex education. Eighty-four percent of us said, ‘No, we did not,’ and then the superintendent responded by saying, ‘Well, the majority doesn’t always dictate,’ and then implemented a pilot program doing just that,” she said.

“So, even though my friends are certainly against ignoring Christmas, the district won’t listen to us anyways because the leaders have their pre-selected conclusion,” Lundquist-Arora concluded.

California Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom says that he and his wife are under investigation by the Department of Justice and claims the president ordered the probe.

Newsom accused President Donald Trump of targeting him because he “consistently” calls out the president, who he said was the most corrupt in U.S. history.

‘We have nothing to hide. Mr. President, come after me.’

“Today, my wife & I joined Donald Trump’s hit list. He has directed his Department of Justice to investigate us,” the governor wrote in a post on social media Monday.

“They have not found a crime — they are simply trying to find one,” he added. “He isn’t coming after me because of mean tweets, but because I am considering running for President.”

Newsom posted a video in which he expanded on the accusations.

“He’s coming after my wife, Jen, a public servant, a woman who’s dedicated her life to supporting women and girls, someone who has done nothing wrong other than having the temerity to advocate for what she believes in,” he said. “If they can’t intimidate me, they’ll go after the mother of our children.”

He then addressed the president directly.

“I have a message for you,” Newsom said. “You can subpoena my records. You can investigate me. You can harass me. Put my name on every and any enemies list you have, but leave my wife and family out of your personal vendetta.”

He also apologized to his wife over the investigation and said that investigators looking for corruption should look at Trump instead.

The DOJ declined a request for comment from NBC News.

Newsom has previously positioned his administration in California as the foremost state opposition to Trump and his policies. Many believe the rhetoric is intended to amplify Newsom as a possible presidential candidate for 2028.

“We have nothing to hide. Mr. President, come after me,” he concluded. “I am not going anywhere. The country is watching.”

The U.S. Supreme Court will let the Trump administration make the case this fall that a pair of Obama judges erred in their 2024 ruling regarding the detention of criminal noncitizens.

Criminal foreigners and their complaints

Carol Williams Black is a Jamaican male who entered the United States in 1983 and subsequently obtained legal permanent residency.

‘No substantive-due-process right to a bond hearing.’

Black was captured in 2019 by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which determined both that the Jamaican was removable under federal immigration law due to his criminal conviction for sexual abuse and endangerment of a child and that he should remain in detention until his removal.

Keisy G.M. is a man in his late 30s from the Dominican Republican who entered the U.S. in 2011, obtained permanent residency, and has since lived in New York. In light of G.M.’s 2015 guilty plea to second-degree assault, ICE arrested G.M. in 2020 and got the ball rolling on his deportation.

Both foreigners — Black, who was detained for seven months, and G.M., who was detained for 21 months — filed legal complaints alleging that their detentions without bond hearings amounted to violations of their due process rights.

A panel consisting of a pair of Obama–appointed circuit court judges — Hong Kong-born Denny Chin and Susan Carney — reviewed the criminal noncitizens’ cases and held in 2024 that “the constitutional guarantee of due process precludes a noncitizen’s unreasonably prolonged detention under [8 U.S.C. § 1226(c)] without a bond hearing.”

Trump administration asks for review

The Trump administration urged the U.S. Supreme Court in January to review whether the court of appeals erred in holding that due process requires bond hearings for criminal aliens detained under Section 1226(c) like Black and G.M., and whether there is a point at which such detention becomes “unreasonably prolonged.”

The administration also asked the high court to review the appellate court’s holding that due process requires placing the burden on the government to justify continued detention by a heightened standard.

“Section 1226(c) detainees have no procedural-due-process right to a bond hearing on matters that are ‘not material’ to the ‘statutory scheme,'” attorneys for the government noted in their petition. “And where, as here, detention bears a reasonable relation to legitimate immigration purposes — such as ‘preventing deportable criminal aliens from fleeing’ or ‘continu[ing] to engage in crime’ while their removal proceedings are pending … — Section 1226(c) detainees have no substantive-due-process right to a bond hearing either.”

The government’s attorneys noted further that the U.S. Supreme Court must provide clarity on the matter, especially since the Eighth Circuit Court “disagrees with the Second and Third Circuits about whether a Section 1226(c) detainee has a due-process right to a bond hearing when his detention becomes ‘unreasonable,'” and the Second and Third Circuit courts disagree about “how to determine when Section 1226(c) detention has reached that point.”

The American Civil Liberties Union lawyers who are representing the criminal noncitizens unsuccessfully begged the high court not to grant review.

The ACLU lawyers claimed in an April brief that the Trump administration was advancing “an extreme theory”; that the disagreement between the lower courts was little more than a “shallow split”; and that “these cases are strikingly poor vehicles” because Black has left the country and G.M. was released from detention in 2022.

Cecillia Wang, an ACLU lawyer who represents both criminal foreigners, said in a statement obtained by Reuters, “The court of appeals got it right, and we will defend ⁠our fundamental due process principles at the Supreme Court.”

“The Constitution protects all of us, regardless of immigration status, from being locked away without due process,” Wang continued. “[U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement] cannot detain immigrants — separating families and cutting people off from their communities — for months or even years on end without a bond hearing.”

The U.S. Supreme Court agreed on Monday to take up the case but could ultimately dismiss it as moot.

The court is reportedly expected to hear arguments in the case in its next term.

Former Fox News host Steve Hilton is running for governor of California, and while hopeful, he’s well aware that the election system is rigged.

“There’s a line in the law that says that actually, the proof that you mailed your ballot on or just before Election Day — even if it arrives after Election Day — it’s not just the postmark. You can write it. You can handwrite the date,” Hilton said on “Hot Mics with Billy Bush.”

“I had a whistleblower from the postal service explaining this. So just to be really clear what that means: You can backdate your ballot by hand and it will be counted. That’s how insane this system is,” he added.

“You say ‘fraud’s happening, fraud’s happening,'” Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck comments, “No. A lot of it is legal. They have rigged the system.”

“They have made it so nobody’s breaking any laws. Nobody’s going to go to jail. It’s all part of the system,” he adds.

And Jason Buttrill agrees, noting that an election insider he has spoken to has explained how they do this and why it requires “many days of voting.”

“They can see the Election Day turnout, determine the deficit, and immediately go out and find all the votes they need,” Buttrill tells Glenn.

“Now, this is exactly what we’ve been thinking about, but we’ve been calling it fraud,” he says.

“Now here’s the kicker. This is all perfectly legal in blue states because of blue-state laws. … The thing that we really need to be focusing on here is the laws that are disenfranchising millions of voters in many of these states where they have just atrocious election laws,” he adds.

Actor Robert De Niro actually told his audience to stop applauding for America during a rambling speech at a liberal show intended to compete with the president’s UFC fights at the White House Sunday night.

While President Donald Trump’s event included a military flyover and patriotic displays of love for the U.S., the anti-Trump liberals at the “Rise Up, Sing Out: A Concert for the First Amendment” show in New York City did the opposite.

‘Loving our country is starting to sound like an abused spouse saying they love their abuser.’

De Niro was reading from a letter about patriotism when the audience cheered.

“Later the letter stated, ‘Regardless of political affiliation or whether we engage in politics or not, we all love our country,'” he said.

After hearing cheers, he responded, “Not so fast!”

“The phrase, ‘We all love our country,’ stuck in my throat. Because our country isn’t so lovable right now. I hate to say it, but loving our country is starting to sound like an abused spouse saying they love their abuser,” De Niro said.

This drew applause from the audience.

“I can’t love a country that starts stupid and inhumane wars, killing thousands of innocents and indirectly causing the deaths and suffering of millions more. I can’t love a country that takes health care away from millions of people and uses that money to enrich their pals in the Trump-Epstein class,” he continued.

“I can’t love a country that sends out masked militias to shoot citizens in the streets, torture our neighbors, and separate families,” De Niro said. “I can’t love a country that’s led by a racist, misogynist, xenophobic tyrant. And let me just say it: I can’t love the country that’s led by Donald Trump and his sycophant Congress.”

Meanwhile, the White House had a military flyover, a bald eagle, and large men fighting each other for glory and to entertain an audience of U.S. servicemen and servicewomen.

De Niro has been very vocal about his political opposition to Trump and his policies. In 2024, he said that the president would suspend elections and destroy Americans’ freedoms if he were allowed back into the Oval Office.

A 25-year-old male is accused of shooting to death his mother, father, brother, and his brother’s girlfriend last week in Michigan.

Gage Pierce appeared before a Livonia judge Friday for the first time since he was charged in connection with the quadruple homicide, WXYZ-TV reported. Livonia is just over 20 minutes west of Detroit.

‘My heart goes out to them. It really does. The community is hurting over this.’

Pierce faces four counts of first-degree murder and four counts of felony firearm, WXYZ reported, adding that Pierce’s bond was denied.

Pierce tried to speak on his own behalf during the arraignment, but the station said his attorney quickly shut down the attempt.

More from WXYZ:

Prosecutors say Pierce used a semiautomatic rifle to shoot and kill his mother, Holly Kimball; his father, Sterling Pierce; his brother, Tanner Pierce; and Tanner’s girlfriend, Nevaeh Finch, at the family home Tuesday.

The home has since become a memorial. Family members gathered there Friday to observe what would have been Tanner’s 23rd birthday.

Tanner’s uncle made sure to wish his beloved nephew a happy birthday Friday at the family home.

“You’ll never be forgotten. You achieved so much at such a young age … you were perfect. Love you, man. Happy birthday,” the victim’s uncle said through tears, according to the station.

Nevaeh Finch’s heartbroken mother, Shelly, told WXYZ over the phone that she watched the arraignment while making funeral arrangements for her daughter, whose birthday is July 9.

“She’s just a — she’s a good kid,” her mother told the station. “Right now I have to try to, you know, pick her last outfit she’s ever going to wear.”

Prior to a planned Saturday fundraiser at Mulligan’s Pub & Grub in Farmington Hills, owner Robert Mckiddie told WXYZ he was a friend of the suspect’s father for nearly two decades, and that Sterling Pierce also was a regular at the pub.

“He’s always called me his brother every time we parted ways … and I loved him like a brother,” Mckiddie added to the station.

WXYZ said a $20 donation at the door of the pub would go directly toward funeral costs for the suspect’s mother, father, and brother — and that the fundraising event also will serve as a place for the community to gather, grieve, and share stories.

Mckiddie added to WXYZ that “my heart goes out to them. It really does. The community is hurting over this. All the money in the world will not make a difference to anybody. But it might help them get through what they have to get through. That’s a lot they have to deal with.”

The following video shows images inside and outside the pub during the fundraiser.

Pierce is expected back in court June 25, the station said.

Officials said police around 5:30 p.m. June 9 found the bodies of Holly Kimball, 53, and Sterling Pierce, 58, on the backyard patio of their home in the 19300 block of Rensellor Street, and the bodies of Tanner Pierce, 22, and Nevaeh Finch, 21, in a bedroom of the home. A dog in the home was found with a gunshot wound to the leg, police said, adding that the dog was taken to veterinary emergency services for treatment.

Gage Pierce was taken into custody at the home, police said.

The president has announced a concert and rally for the Fourth of July concert at the Lincoln Memorial.

The concert is a part of the 250th anniversary celebration of the Declaration of Independence and will now be followed by a massive Trump rally.

‘We will have none of those people that put you to sleep and constantly complain!’

President Donald Trump wrote on Truth Social Monday morning that the rally would be held to “honor our Country’s People, Spirit, Strength, Resolve, and Triumphs.”

He said it would be the largest formation of military music and ceremonial performances in history.

“With the backdrop of the Lincoln Memorial and surrounding the beautifully new Reflecting Pool,” he wrote, “more than 300 Members of our strong and talented Military Bands, Orchestras, and Ceremonial Units, will perform Patriotic Melodies and American Classics, and my Playlist (We will have none of those people that put you to sleep and constantly complain!), as we celebrate our Country, and Rally into the next 250 years.”

The 250th celebration has already been kicked off at the White House after the president had UFC fights in front of the White House on Sunday.

The president went on to say the “spectacular” July 4th show would include flyovers and airshows as well as the largest fireworks show in history.

The plans for the celebration were disrupted after several singers backed out of their agreements to perform at the Great American State Fair, organized by Freedom 250. Martina McBride, Young MC, Flo Rida, and Morris Day and the Time all backed out, leaving rapper Vanilla Ice as the only one still willing to perform.

McBride claimed that she had been “presented with an opportunity to perform at a nonpartisan event” but that she was misled about the show.

“I asked lots of questions and was assured this was a nonpartisan event that was meant to celebrate ALL 50 states,” she added.

Trump concluded his post saying, “Do not miss it. See you on JULY 4th in Washington, D.C.”

There is today perhaps no greater thorn in the side of the British liberal establishment than counter-jihad activist Tommy Robinson.

The 43-year-old son of an Irishwoman and an Englishman has proven time and again that he is able not only to draw crowds numbered in the tens of thousands but to focus British working-class fury over the fallout of mass immigration, the failure of multiculturalism, the threats posed by radical Islam, and the efforts by the powers that be to cover up and/or contain various related scandals.

‘This is an attack on free speech.’

In the wake of his criticism over the horrific death of 18-year-old Englishman Henry Nowak at the hand of a Sikh in England and the near-beheading of Scotsman Stephen Ogilvie by a Sudanese suspect in Belfast, Robinson found himself once again in police custody under the British equivalent of the Patriot Act.

Robinson noted in a Saturday post on X, “I’M A TERRORIST AGAIN. I have been detained at Heathrow Airport today for the best part of 3 hours. I was detained under section 3 of the Counter-Terrorism and Border Security Act 2019.”

Under schedule 3 of the counter-terrorism law, an examining officer “may question a person for the purpose of determining whether the person appears to be a person who is, or has been, engaged in hostile activity” if that person is at a port or in a border area and appears to be entering or leaving the country, or if that person is on a ship or aircraft that has touched down in the United Kingdom.

“Hostile activity” is defined as acts threatening national security, acts threatening the economic well-being of the U.K., or serious crimes carried out for or on behalf of a foreign power.

Per the legislation, it is “immaterial” whether the detainee is “aware that activity in which they are or have been engaged is hostile activity.”

Robinson claimed that his phone had been seized by police — just as it had when he was detained by Kent police under Schedule 7 of the Terrorism Act while attempting to travel in July 2024 to Spain, where he now lives.

The Westminster Magistrates’ Court determined in November that Robinson’s previous detention under the Terrorism Act was unlawful and cleared the activist of the corresponding charge.

According to paperwork dated Saturday that Robinson was provided with and later shared online, an examining officer at the airport seized the Englishman’s iPhone and Samsung Galaxy A16 on suspicion that the devices “could be used in connection with the carrying out of a hostile act.”

“Absolute f**king madness,” Robinson wrote.

A Metropolitan Police spokesperson told the BBC that a man in his 40s was stopped under the counter-terrorism law at Heathrow Airport after returning to the U.K. from Russia via Turkey.

Robinson — who met with Elon Musk’s father, Errol, while in Moscow — told the Guardian last week that he had traveled to Russia “to see how this country got itself so well on to the straight and narrow and see the beauty of a civilized society.”

The Metropolitan Police spokesperson stated that the man stopped on Saturday “was interviewed by officers and his communication devices were seized. He was subsequently released.”

A spokesperson for Robinson speculated that police confiscated the activist’s communication devices because “they likely want to see who he is talking to, and maybe find out who his sources are, sources who will expose politicians for their part in the rape of a generation of British girls.”

“This is an attack on free speech, this is an attack on investigative journalism, nothing more nothing less,” the spokesperson added.

Anthropic helped build the AI race. Now, it’s warning the finish line may be coming faster than anyone expected.

The company, recently valued at a staggering $965 billion, says its latest AI systems are approaching dangerous capabilities that could fundamentally change the future of technology, prompting calls for a worldwide slowdown in frontier AI development.

“They did this because it’s getting close to improving itself without human help,” BlazeTV host Pat Gray explains on “Pat Gray Unleashed.”

“In April, Claude ran a full AI research project completely on its own. Humans picked the topic and then it just did it. Claude came up with every experiment, ran every test, and delivered the results. Two human researchers spent a full week on the same problem,” he continues.

While the researchers only made it 23% of the way there, Claude made it 97% of the way there.

“Claude Mythos preview is now 52 times faster than a skilled human at improving AI training code. So it can fix its own training code. The same task takes a human four to eight hours. Claude does it better. Claude already writes 80% of Anthropic’s own code,” Gray says.

While in March 2024, Claude could reportedly handle a four-minute task on its own; now it handles 12-hour tasks.

“That number doubles every four months,” Gray explains, adding that “week-long tasks are expected by 2027.”

“So when they call for a development pause, I mean we’re caught between a rock and a hard place, right, on this technology. No one wants to pause or slow down on this because there’s so much at stake,” he continues.

“There’s money, there’s advancement, there’s so much going on here … and they can’t risk falling behind others. Worse than companies not being willing to do this, China certainly isn’t going to pause,” he adds.
