Immigration arrest turns violent in Bloomington, suspect now facing federal charges
Federal prosecutors say an escape attempt during an ICE arrest in the Twin Cities is leading to even more charges.
According to a federal complaint charging him with assault on a federal officer, agents were executing a federal immigration warrant for 39-year-old Roberto Carlos Munoz, who they say is in the country unlawfully. Munoz was convicted of fourth-degree criminal sexual conduct in 2023.
The Department of Justice says a request for Munoz to be held after his 2022 arrest was "not honored by local authorities and Munoz was released."
Agents located Munoz on Tuesday morning, leaving his home. According to the complaint, that's when an FBI agent activated his emergency lights, but Munoz did not immediately pull over.
Surveillance video from a nearby home shows agents boxing in Munoz and approaching the vehicle.
Court documents say he refused to comply before a federal agent "took out his spring-loaded window punch with his right hand and broke the driver's side rear window."
Moments later, Munoz turned the wheel to the right to avoid the vehicle in front of him, drove up on the curb and accelerated away at a high rate of speed.
The officer's right arm was caught in the vehicle. As Munoz fled, the officer was dragged along for 300 feet.
Officials say the agent suffered significant cuts that resulted in more than 30 stitches. Bloomington police took Munoz into custody.
Now, a top homeland security official is criticizing Gov. Tim Walz
Posting on X, "Instead of comparing ICE law enforcement to the Gestapo, Walz should be thanking our brave law enforcement."
In a statement earlier this month, a spokesperson for the Hennepin County Sheriff's Office explained they are not involved in civil immigration enforcement.
Over in Bloomington, police chief Booker Hodges was unavailable for an interview, but we're told he's recorded a video where he will speak about local and federal law enforcement.

You Must Never Call These Numbers On Your Smartphone
Do not call any of these numbers. We are now being repeatedly warned that legitimate infrastructure is being hijacked by attackers. This includes spoofed Google support addresses, Gmail passwords and even federal agency phone numbers. Now there's another such attack to beware. Malwarebytes warns that scammers are crafting malicious search engine results that link to legitimate sites — such as Netflix or Microsoft, but then open a webpage that includes a search box with a dangerous phone number inserted. The team says this could be called 'a search parameter injection attack, because the scammer has crafted a malicious URL that embeds their own fake phone number into the genuine site's legitimate search functionality.' If you call the number, the handler will pretend to represent the brand you called from, 'with the aim of getting their victim to hand over personal data or card details, or even allow remote access to their computer.' If that brand is a financial firm such as PayPal or Bank Of America, scammers will try to empty accounts. Malicious phone numbers on real website Malwarebytes says users should watch for these red flags: This follows another warning this week from Netcraft, that threat actors are 'exploiting [search engine] While Netcraft says SEO poisoning usually 'promotes malicious or fraudulent websites by exploiting the ranking systems of platforms like Google,' in these injection attacks the websites are real, making it much harder for users to immediately detect the threat. The phone numbers can even appear in the search engine results themselves. What's interesting is there has been so much focus from Google, the FBI and others on not responding to proactive technical or account support calls, that this puts the onus back on users, following official advice to find numbers for themselves before contacting any support desk. But adhere to those red flags and you'll be fine.

Mulvaney warns of safety concerns over White House's new flagpoles
Former White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney on Wednesday raised safety concerns about President Trump's newly installed flagpoles at the White House. In an interview on NewsNation's 'The Hill,' the former Trump official questioned how the president's helicopter would continue to land safely on the South Lawn, where a flagpole now stands. 'I see a problem for where they're supposed to land the helicopter — because this is right on the South Lawn, and I'm not really sure,' Mulvaney said in the interview when asked about the flagpoles. 'I imagine they considered this, they'd be landing someplace else, but I'm looking at this going, as the chief of staff, who's in charge of military operations at the White House, 'Where are we landing the helicopter without creating an increased risk for the president of the United States?' I don't know the answer to that yet,' he added. The Hill reached out to the White House for comment. Trump announced Tuesday he would be gifting the White House two flagpoles, one on the North Lawn and one on the South Lawn. Both were installed Wednesday morning. 'It is my Great Honor to announce that I will be putting up two beautiful Flag Poles on both sides of the White House, North and South Lawns. It is a GIFT from me of something which was always missing from this magnificent place,' Trump said in a Truth Social post on Tuesday night. 'These are the most magnificent poles made – They are tall, tapered, rust proof, rope inside the pole, and of the highest quality. Hopefully, they will proudly stand at both sides of the White House for many years to come!' he added. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Someone robbed $1.4 million worth of Nintendo Switch 2 consoles and disappeared in thin air
Oliver Cragg / Android Authority TL;DR In a high-stakes heist, thieves stole 2,810 units of the newly released Nintendo Switch 2 console from a semi-truck. The driver reported the robbery to authorities in Colorado after he discovered the missing cargo. The stolen consoles are worth a whopping $1.4 million. If you pre-ordered a Nintendo Switch 2 from GameStop, there's a chance your console was part of a $1.4 million shipment stolen from a semi-truck in Colorado. In what can be described as a real-life 'heist mode,' 2,810 newly released Nintendo Switch 2 consoles vanished from a truck stop in Colorado, leaving law enforcement scrambling for answers and appealing to the public for any information about the incident. According to the Arapahoe County Sheriff's Office, the massive Nintendo Switch 2 theft was discovered on the morning of June 8 at a Love's Truck Stop in Bennett, Colorado. The truck driver was preparing for the next leg of his trip when he noticed the trailer had been broken into. Inside was a goldmine of 2,810 Nintendo Switch 2 units, each valued at $499, freshly shipped from Nintendo of America's headquarters in Redmond, Washington. The final destination of the consoles was a GameStop in Grapevine, Texas, but unfortunately, they never made it. Arapahoe County Sheriff's Office The driver told deputies he did not know what was in the trailer, only that it was games or toys, the sheriff's office noted in a Facebook post. It's still unclear where exactly the heist occurred, how the robbers managed to take off such a big load from the truck, and where they vanished. 'If caught, the suspects could face charges of felony theft valued at $1 million or more, as well as Criminal Mischief,' the sheriff's office said. While it may seem like the thieves hit the jackpot at a time when demand for the Nintendo Switch 2 is at an all-time high, the illegal haul might not ultimately be worth much to the robbers. Alternatively, they could make a lot of money selling these consoles, with customers becoming the ultimate victims of the theft. Each Nintendo Switch 2 unit has a unique serial number, and Nintendo can remotely disable stolen consoles, rendering them useless for resale or online play. That means anyone buying a Switch 2 from unofficial channels could unknowingly get one of these units and end up with a bricked device. So, if you see a great deal on a Switch 2 from a source you don't know or trust, you might want to think twice before buying it. Got a tip? Talk to us! Email our staff at Email our staff at news@ .
