Elderly Bystander Knocked to Ground in N.H. Courthouse When Federal Agents Lunge at Immigrant in Dogpile Arrest: Watch
Surveillance cameras inside a New Hampshire courthouse captured federal agents tackling a Venezuelan man, who is now in ICE custody, and knocking down an elderly bystander in the process. Arnuel Marquez Colmenarez, 33, was at the Nashua Circuit Court on Feb. 20 for an arraignment on misdemeanor charges related to an alleged drunk driving incident on Feb. 9. However, before he made it to court, he was thrown to the ground and detained by the agents. An older man walking with a cane was also caught up in the scuffle and fell on his back. The man remained on the ground — seemingly unable to get up — for several moments while the agents kept their focus on holding Marquez Colmenarez down.

Popular TikTok star leaves US after being detained
LAS VEGAS -- LAS VEGAS (AP) — Khaby Lame, the world's most popular TikTok personality with millions of followers, has left the U.S. after being detained by immigration agents in Las Vegas for allegedly overstaying his visa. The Senegalese-Italian influencer, whose legal name is Seringe Khabane Lame, was detained Friday at Harry Reid International Airport but was allowed to leave the country without a deportation order, a spokesperson for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement confirmed in a statement. Lame arrived in the U.S. on April 30 and 'overstayed the terms of his visa,' the ICE spokesperson said. The Associated Press sent a message seeking comment Tuesday to the email address listed on Lame's Instagram account. He has not publicly commented on his detainment. His detainment and voluntary departure from the U.S. comes amid President Donald Trump's escalating crackdown on immigration, including raids in Los Angeles that sparked days of protests against ICE, as the president tests the bounds of his executive authority. A voluntary departure — which was granted to Lame — allows those facing removal from the U.S. to avoid a deportation order on their immigration record, which could prevent them from being allowed back into the U.S. for up to a decade. The 25-year-old rose to international fame during the pandemic without ever saying a word in his videos, which would show him reacting to absurdly complicated 'life hacks." He has over 162 million followers on TikTok alone. The Senegal-born influencer moved to Italy when he was an infant with his working class parents and has Italian citizenship. His internet fame quickly evolved. He signed a multi-year partnership with designer brand Hugo Boss in 2022. In January, he was appointed as a UNICEF goodwill ambassador.

25 women in Kentucky jail on immigration charges amid heated ICE protests nationwide
KENTUCKY (FOX 56) — Tensions are high across the nation as protestors continue to push back against the Trump Administration's efforts to crack down on illegal immigration. Over the weekend, dozens of people were booked into the Laurel County Correctional Center under immigration charges. According to the jail's website, 25 Hispanic women, arrested by the Department of Homeland Security, were placed in the correctional center Sunday morning. Dr. Judah Schept, an Eastern Kentucky University professor who specializes in justice studies, said that the number of people detained in a county jail on immigration charges is striking but not too surprising, given the way he said immigration detention works in America. He explained that federal agencies like the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) often have intergovernmental service agreements with local law enforcement. 'Which, basically, is like a memorandum of understanding between different agencies that empowers the local jail to essentially act as an immigration custody facility,' said Schept. Off-duty Kentucky police officer charged with DUI in Hardin County Kentucky school resource officers highlighted for service Bill could make federal minimum wage $15: Kentucky among states paying less than that Neighbors Immigration Clinic, an advocacy group for immigrants, noted that for years, Laurel County has served as a stop for ICE agents en route to other detention centers. Schept said this partnership can benefit local jails financially. 'That money is essentially revenue that goes to Laurel County that can go to managing the daily operations of its jail, but can also sort of pass through the jail and go into the county's operating budget to use as they see fit,' Schept added. As for the women who are currently in the Laurel County jail, we have searched for online records to find out why, but there is no documented explanation, nor is there evidence of an ICE raid. Schept said it is very possible that none of these women are from Laurel County or even Kentucky, and they may not be here much longer. 'So it could be that these 25 women were in Laurel County today. It could be that they're in Kenton County Jail, another jail system in Kentucky that works with ICE tomorrow. And then they're off to a different ice facility on Wednesday,' Schept added. Read more of the latest Kentucky news This comes on the heels of heated ICE protests in Los Angeles over the weekend, with another rally in Washington, D.C., on Monday. Schept said it's deeply troubling yet inspiring to see people standing up for what they believe, saying it should be a wake-up call for what's happening in our own state. 'There's other arrests and raids that are happening around the region. And so, I think we should both be looking at what's happening in Los Angeles and looking at what's happening in our own communities and in our backyards,' Schept concluded. FOX 56 contacted the Laurel County Correctional Center and the Department of Homeland Security for more information on the arrests, but has not received a response. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Massive meth discovery prompted federal raid in Minneapolis, court documents show
Court documents reveal 900 pounds of meth found in a storage unit in Burnsville, Minnesota, prompted a highly scrutinized federal raid on Lake Street in Minneapolis earlier this month. A federal criminal complaint filed Monday said the June 3 raid at Cuatro Milpas was connected to one of eight search warrants executed across the state. Those warrants followed the search of a Burnsville storage unit, which the complaint said yielded 900 pounds of crystal meth "concealed in multiple tubes separately held in large spools of metal." The street value of the meth is at least $22 million, authorities said. Court documents do not say when that meth was recovered. The federal warrants directed law enforcement to search for and seize evidence related to "controlled substances, money laundering, bank fraud, human trafficking, and firearms." Authorities say they collected "relevant evidence" at each location they visited. Warrants were carried out at homes and businesses in Bloomington, Inver Grove Heights, Burnsville, Lakeville and Northfield, turning up gold-plated guns and portraits of fictional character Tony Montana from "Scarface," according to court documents. Authorities believe what they uncovered points to an international crime ring operating in Minnesota. A document from the U.S. Attorney's Office shows the search was considered "high risk" due to the nature of the offenses, so SWAT crews were called to assist in the search. The presence of Immigration and Customs Enforcement prompted community members to gather on Lake Street and, eventually, clash with authorities. A 27-year-old St. Paul woman is now charged with assaulting, resisting or impeding certain officers or employees during the protests spurred by the raid. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey at the time said the raid was not connected to immigration enforcement and instead was "related to a criminal search warrant for drugs and money laundering." Court documents show because of the assaults, federal agents had to leave before they could collect all the evidence they needed. In the aftermath, an internal memo to officers and staff of the Minneapolis Police Department reiterated the agency's non-participation policy when it comes to federal immigration enforcement.
