Video: Violent stabbing attack rocks Oregon homeless shelter
Law enforcement officials arrested a male suspect on Sunday after 12 people were injured and 11 were hospitalized in a stabbing spree at a homeless shelter in Salem, Oregon.
In a Monday press release, the Salem Police Department said police officers responded to a stabbing incident at the Union Gospel Mission at roughly 7:15 p.m. on Sunday and found 'several individuals who had been stabbed inside the facility by a man with a knife approximately eight inches in size.'
'Witnesses reported the suspect was speaking to individuals in the lobby when he produced a knife and stabbed several people,' the Salem Police Department stated. 'Others present who attempted to intervene in the melee were also injured.'
The Salem Police Department identified the suspect in Sunday's stabbing attack as 42-year-old Tony Latrell Williams. Officials said the suspect left the Union Gospel Mission and stabbed other individuals who were sitting outside near the homeless shelter prior to law enforcement officials arresting him near the shelter and seizing the knife used in the attack.
According to Monday's press release, 11 of the 12 victims injured by the suspect were transported to Salem Health for medical treatment following the stabbing attack. As of Monday, police officials said five male victims who sustained 'serious injuries' remained at the hospital.
According to the Salem Police Department, Williams was booked at the Marion County Jail on preliminary charges of second-degree assault and the unlawful use of a weapon.

'The remaining victims, all men, received non‑life‑threatening injuries of varying degrees,' the Salem Police Department said. 'The victims included two Union Gospel Mission staff members and ten individuals who were guests at the shelter or were encountered outside the building, all ranging in age from 26 to 57.'
According to The Associated Press, Salem Police Violent Crimes Unit detectives said Williams arrived in Salem on Saturday while traveling by bus from Portland to Deschutes County. Officials confirmed that he visited the Union Gospel Mission on Saturday but did not remain overnight at the homeless shelter. The Associated Press reported that Williams arrived at the Union Gospel Mission again on Sunday shortly before the stabbing incident.
In a statement obtained by The Associated Press, Salem Mayor Julie Hoy said, 'I'm in disbelief that something like this could happen. We are most concerned with those who are still in hospital and for those who were just there. It's a difficult thing to process.'
A video shared on X, formerly Twitter, shows the 42-year-old suspect being arrested following the stabbing incident on Sunday.

Appeals court won't reconsider ruling that Trump must pay E. Jean Carroll $5M in sex abuse case
NEW YORK (AP) — A federal appeals court won't reconsider its ruling upholding a $5 million civil judgment against President Donald Trump in a civil lawsuit alleging he sexually abused a writer in a Manhattan department store in the mid-1990s. In an 8-2 vote Friday, the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected Trump's petition for the full appellate court to rehear arguments in his challenge to the jury's finding that he sexually abused advice columnist E. Jean Carroll and defamed her with comments he made in October 2022. Carroll testified at a 2023 trial that Trump turned a friendly encounter in spring 1996 into a violent attack after they playfully entered the store's dressing room. A three-judge panel of the appeals court upheld the verdict in December, rejecting Trump's claims that trial Judge Lewis A. Kaplan's decisions spoiled the trial, including allowing two other Trump sexual abuse accusers to testify. The women said Trump committed similar acts against them in the 1970s and in 2005. Trump denied all three women's allegations. In an opinion Friday, four judges voting to reject rehearing wrote: 'Simply re-litigating a case is not an appropriate use' of the process. 'In those rare instances in which a case warrants our collective consideration, it is almost always because it involves a question of exceptional importance,' or a conflict between precedent and the appellate panel's opinion, Judges Myrna Pérez, Eunice C. Lee, Beth Robinson and Sarah A.L. Merriam wrote. All four were appointed by President Joe Biden, Trump's one-time Democratic rival. The two dissenting judges, Trump appointees, Steven J. Menashi and Michael H. Park, wrote that the trial 'consisted of a series of indefensible evidentiary rulings.' 'The result was a jury verdict based on impermissible character evidence and few reliable facts,' they wrote. 'No one can have any confidence that the jury would have returned the same verdict if the normal rules of evidence had been applied.' Carroll's lawyer, Roberta Kaplan, said in a statement: 'E. Jean Carroll is very pleased with today's decision.' 'Although President Trump continues to try every possible maneuver to challenge the findings of two separate juries, those efforts have failed. He remains liable for sexual assault and defamation,' said Kaplan, who is not related to the judge. Trump skipped the trial after repeatedly denying the attack ever happened. He briefly testified at a follow-up defamation trial last year that resulted in an $83.3 million award. The second trial resulted from comments then-President Trump made in 2019 after Carroll first made the accusations publicly in a memoir. Kaplan presided over both trials and instructed the second jury to accept the first jury's finding that Trump had sexually abused Carroll. Arguments in that appeal are set for June 24. The Associated Press does not identify people who say they have been sexually assaulted unless they come forward publicly, as Carroll has done. ___ Error!

4 detainees unaccounted for after unrest at immigration facility
(NewsNation) — A search is underway Friday for four migrants who went missing from a New Jersey U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention center, according to the Department of Homeland Security. The detainees escaped from Delaney Hall in Newark on Thursday amid reports of unrest. Officials are still trying to determine how they managed to escape. The DHS is offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of the four individuals who escaped. Hondurans Franklin Norberto Bautista-Reyes, Joel Enrique Sandoval-Lopez, Joan Sebastian Castaneda-Lozada, and Andres Pineda-Mogollon, from Colombia, are the men on the run, according to the DHS. They are all illegal entrants into the United States, per DHS. Additional 'law enforcement partners' have been brought in to help locate them, according to a statement attributed to a senior DHS official that was emailed to The Associated Press. DHS did not name the agencies involved. LA grandma self-deports to Mexico, leaving family behind Newark Mayor Ras Baraka referenced reports of a possible uprising and escape Thursday night. 'We are concerned about reports of what has transpired at Delaney Hall this evening, ranging from withholding food and poor treatment, to uprising and escaped detainees,' Baraka said in a statement obtained by NewsNation local affiliate WPIX. Protesters outside the facility locked arms and pushed against barricades, while vehicles moved through the gates, according to the AP. The Delaney Hall facility, which houses up to 1,000 detainees, opened earlier this year under the Trump administration's immigration enforcement push. DHS Secretary Noem attends ICE raid at LA County home Photos and videos from outside the facility showed protesters clashing with security. Mustafa Cetin, who represents a detainee, told tensions escalated after delayed meals sparked unrest inside. 'It's about the food, and some of the detainees were getting aggressive, and it turned violent,' attorney Cetin said. 'Based on what he told me, it was an outer wall, not very strong, and they were able to push it down.' One woman told WNBC-TV she rushed to the center after her detained husband called about a lockdown and a protest over inhumane conditions. She said she's worried for his safety. Attorneys representing detainees say they've been unable to reach their clients or enter the facility since the incident, according to a spokesperson for the American Friends Service Committee, a nonprofit that advocates for immigrants.
