Trump official 'ordered New Jersey mayor's arrest' at immigration centre in new footage
The federal officer who arrested New Jersey mayor Ras Baraka and Rep. LaMonica McIver suggested he may have been ordered to do so by a Justice Department official In recent months, police officers and immigration enforcers have flooded into major US cities and made sweeping arrests of people they suspect of being undocumented migrants, often disregarding the legal process to do so. This shocking authoritarianism has also seen multiple elected officials detained, with at least one appearing to have been put behind bars after a major appointee of President Trump gave the order. Freshly released body cam footage has shown that the federal officer who detained New Jersey mayor Ras Baraka implied he might have been acting under instructions from the deputy attorney general. This comes as Donald Trump attempts to force a head-to-head meeting between Putin and Ukraine's President Zelensky. The footage emerged as part of a legal submission by Rep. LaMonica McIver, who was also taken into custody alongside Baraka during an oversight visit at an immigration centre, where they had a run-in with immigration officers. While Baraka faced trespassing charges that were later dropped, McIver was accused of assaulting federal agents. It appears she is pushing for the dismissal of her charges. Her legal team alleges that a Department of Homeland Security special agent, after concluding a phone call, informed fellow agents, "We are arresting the mayor right now, per the deputy attorney general of the United States. "Anyone that gets in our way, I need you guys to give me a perimeter so I can cuff him," the agent further instructed. The Mirror U.S. has not yet formally reviewed the footage. Although it has been submitted as evidence, the video has not been made available to the general public. Todd Blanche currently holds the position of deputy attorney general. Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin told the Mirror: "The American people can see with their own eyes a sitting member of Congress assaulting law enforcement," and she referenced a video of the altercation that DHS uploaded on X back in May. The apparent suggestion of Blanche's involvement is the latest in a series of moves where Justice Department officials have seemingly wielded their power to target Democrats and adversaries of President Trump. Since Trump resumed office, his DOJ has initiated multiple investigations into figures who oppose him, including Jack Smith, James Comey, and others. Moreover, it has been reported that federal law enforcement officers have apprehended New York City Comptroller Brad Lander and even placed California Sen. Alex Padilla in handcuffs. Suspicions are escalating as Politico disclosed that several Democrats are pondering whether agents at the Newark facility were directed to arrest Baraka. Witness statements and additional video evidence from the day depict the mayor standing calmly behind a fence with a guard for a significant period. Rep. Rob Menendez, also a Democrat, informed Politico that he saw an agent within the enclosed area on the phone receiving instructions to detain Baraka, who was outside the enclosure when the call occurred. Last week, McIver's lawyers submitted a description of the bodycam footage to the court, reinforcing this narrative. "Even though he stepped out, I am going to put him in cuffs," the special agent is purported to have declared. Following this, the agent mentioned arresting the mayor "per the deputy attorney general." Moments later, the mayor found himself in handcuffs, sparking off a brawl. Magistrate Judge André M. Espinosa described it as an "embarrassing retraction" that "suggests a failure to adequately investigate, to carefully gather facts and to thoughtfully consider the implications of your actions before wielding your immense power."

'That's not a knife': Sword-wielding man's Crocodile Dundee threat to neighbour
A man has appeared in court after he quoted from the comedy Crocodile Dundee while threatening someone with a sword. Darren Morrison's neighbour had brandished a kitchen knife at him following an altercation over noise, so he responded by fetching a replica sword from his own home. He then brandished the claymore-style weapon at the woman – itself a replica from 1986's sci-fi film Highlander – and quoted from the Paul Hogan hit, telling her: 'That's not a knife…' Morrison, 51, appeared at Tain Sheriff Court to admit a single charge of threatening behaviour in relation to the incident on July 3 of this year. Fiscal depute Adelle Gray told the court that, at around 9.30pm on that date, Morrison and his wife had been trying to put their grandchildren to bed at an address in Westford, Alness. His neighbour was 'playing her music loud' and when asked to turn it down in a Facebook message, she responded by telling them to 'f*** off'. An altercation between those at the house and the neighbour followed, during which the woman slammed doors while holding a speaker. She then grabbed a purple-handed bread knife and began to wave it, shouting: 'I'll take you all – come on then.' Morrison's wife shouted: 'She has got a knife,' prompting him to go inside his own house and grab a replica sword, which was mounted on the wall. He then returned to the garden and stated, 'That's not a knife…' brandishing the sword in her direction. Solicitor Patrick O'Dea, for Morrison, told Sheriff Mark Lindsay, that his client had been referencing Crocodile Dundee with his comment and had 'not been trying to terrify' the woman in question. Following this revelation, the sheriff questioned whether the scene appeared in the original film or its 1988 sequel, noting 'It's where he is in New York.' The famous scene appears in the first film, not the Australia-based sequel. Mr O'Dea told the court that Morrison – a 'genuine first offender' – was simply 'trying to make a ridiculous situation more ridiculous'. He said: 'He bitterly regrets reacting to the complainer's bread knife – he now reflects on it as ridiculous.' Mr O'Dea explained to the court that the 'huge weapon' wielded by his client was a replica of a prop from the 1986 Highlander movie and was not a real sword. Hearing this, Sheriff Lindsay ordered the forfeiture of the replica sword and deferred sentence on Morrison for three months to allow him to demonstrate good behaviour.

The best heist movies of all time
At the intersection of crime drama, action flick and psychological thriller lies the heist movie. In truth, though, the subgenre predates the many umbrellas it exists under: movies had barely been invented when Edwin S Porter dropped The Great Train Robbery, depicting a group of bandits holding up an American locomotive in the Old West. Well over a century later, filmmakers from Quentin Tarantino to Stanley Kubrick to Kathryn Bigelow had taken the same basic premise and used it to create some of the most memorable moments in cinema, whether it's Rififi's silent hit on a Parisian jeweller or the breathless shootout in Michael Mann's Heat. It's no wonder the concept has proven so enduring: somewhere deep down, everyone romanticises the concept of living outside the law, and even if we find the perpetrators despicable, there's a visceral rush to watching criminality in action. Yes, it's a genre with many tropes – the phrases 'one last job' and 'ragtag group of low lives' pop up frequently – but the best heist movies manage to find brilliant new ways to put those familiar rhythms to use. Here are 60 of the greatest examples.
