Below Deck Charter Guest Anthony Drewitt-Barlow's House Raided by Homeland Security
The Below Deck franchise has been associated with several legal matters, most of which related to its own cast members. Recently, though, a former charter guest has made headlines for a case that has the government involved.
Specifically, the home of , who once appeared on Below Deck Sailing Yacht was raided. There isn't a lot of information related to the situation, but here is everything that has been publicly revealed so far.
It was reported that his home in Tampa, Florida, was recently raided by Homeland Security. Whilst there is no official cause for the search, it's been suggested that it may relate to sex trafficking.
'Anyone with knowledge of a potential victim of sex trafficking, or have been a witness to sex trafficking, in this case, should call the tip line at 1-866-DHS-2-ICE,' a source told TMZ.
The source also claimed that the raid was part of an active investigation. Because of this, there aren't many known details, including whether or not Anthony is specifically involved in this alleged case. He has not spoken out publicly since the raid.
Back in 2021, Anthony appeared as a charter guest on Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 2. He went on vacation with his ex-husband, Barrie Drewitt-Barlow, their children, and Barrie's boyfriend, Scott Hutchinson. Shockingly, Scott also happens to be the ex-boyfriend of Tony and Barrie's daughter Saffron Drewitt Barlow, who came along on the trip too.
The family of nine was considered one of the most high-maintenance groups in the history of Sailing Yacht. Mainly, the criticism came from Barrie's consistent conflicts with Chef Natasha De Bourg.
Their charter ended in Barrie's surprise proposal to Scott, which he accepted. The couple's special day also happens to be Tony's birthday.
Below Deck Sailing Yacht is available to stream on Peacock and Hayu in the UK and Ireland.

Padilla: ‘What does it say about' Noem ‘to not know' a California senator
Sen. Alex Padilla (D-Calif.), who was forcibly removed and handcuffed at a news conference for Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem earlier this week, questioned the meaning behind Noem not recognizing the senator from California amid the incident. 'What does it say about the secretary, to not know who the senator from California is?' Padilla questioned while talking with CNN's Dana Bash on 'State of the Union,' talking about Noem. In an interview on Fox News's 'The Story with Martha MacCallum' on Thursday, Noem said that 'nobody knew who' Padilla was amid the incident. 'I wasn't trying to be disrespectful or disruptive, I don't think I was,' Padilla said of the incident. 'I was simply asking a question.' Video of the incident showed multiple men restraining Padilla and forcing him out of the room, while other footage showed they later pushed him to the floor to handcuff him. 'I'm Sen. Alex Padilla. I have questions for the secretary,' Padilla is heard saying as multiple people push him out of the room. In a post on X Thursday, Department of Homeland Security spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin said, 'Senator Padilla chose disrespectful political theatre and interrupted a live press conference without identifying himself or having his Senate security pin on as he lunged toward Secretary Noem.'

Inside Trump's backtrack on immigration
For months, Trump administration officials have been adamant about targeting all the millions of immigrants who are in the U.S. illegally, regardless of their work or taxpaying status. But now Trump is making a huge exception: those working at hotels, farms, meatpacking plants and restaurants. Why it matters: He's bowing to pressure from businesses that have been warning of economic devastation — and is opening the door for potentially millions of workers who are here illegally to stay after all. Zoom in: The pressure — particularly from the agriculture and hospitality industries — had been building for months. But it ramped up in recent weeks, after top Trump aide Stephen Miller and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem met with top ICE officials in late May and demanded that immigration agents dramatically boost their arrest goal to 3,000 people a day. That mandate helped drive many of the increasingly aggressive raids by masked, heavily armed Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents across the nation. It also helped inspire protests about ICE's tactics — most notably in Los Angeles, where Trump called in the National Guard and Marines over the objection of state and local officials. How it happened: Trump's pivot appears to have emerged Wednesday, sources with knowledge of the situation tell Axios. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins called Trump to say farm groups were increasingly concerned that the stepped-up immigration raids would lead many reliable workers to be arrested — or stop showing up for work, out of fear. Their conversation, the sources said, led Trump to post a message on Truth Social Thursday saying that immigrants in the agriculture and hospitality industries are "very good, long time workers." He hinted at exceptions for such workers who are here illegally, saying: "Changes are coming." Later Thursday, Tatum King, a senior ICE official, sent an email to agency officials nationwide, telling them to "please hold on all worksite enforcement investigations/operations on agriculture (including aquaculture and meatpacking plants), restaurants, and operating hotels." The email added that "other case types/investigations such as human trafficking, money laundering, drug smuggling into these industries are ok, however we are not pursuing non-criminal collaterals." The intrigue: White House insiders insist this isn't a case of Trump flip-flopping — and that he still supports the hard line on immigration enforcement that Miller and Noem have pushed. But it's clear that the economic calamity that could result from mass deportations of unauthorized workers who do labor-intensive jobs most Americans won't, will lead to some changes in Trump's immigration plan. Undocumented workers and those with expired work visas can be difficult to track across sectors of the economy But some studies have given a glimpse of their presence: The American Immigration Council estimates that unauthorized immigrants make up about 4.6% of the nation's employed labor force — that would amount to more than 7 million people. A recent Department of Agriculture study estimated that about 42% of America's farmworkers were undocumented from 2020 to 2022. Trump previously floated the idea of creating exceptions for workers in crucial industries. In mid-April, he suggested a pathway to citizenship for "great" unauthorized immigrants who play key roles in the economy — a way to live in the U.S. legally if they'd self-deport and have an employer support their return.
