Mass looting of Oakland Shiekh store captured on video, car on fire
OAKLAND, Calif. - Video of an Oakland Shiekh store in the Fruitvale District being looted by a mass of people on Tuesday night was captured on camera.
What we know
The store, located at 3422 International Boulevard, was struck sometime this evening in the same vicinity where there had been an earlier, peaceful, anti-ICE protest.
KTVU also has video of a car on fire in the same area at 35th Avenue and International Boulevard. We are working to get more details about what happened. We have reached out to the Oakland Police Department for official details but have not yet heard back.
Norma Orozco, an organizer of the earlier peaceful demonstration, said the protest ended at 8 p.m. and everybody dispersed. That's when she saw a car crash happen and one of the cars involved was left abandoned. Much later, a group set the car on fire.
"At some point, other individuals came up and somebody lit the car on fire. When the car was already on fire, I saw at least three Oakland police drive by and do absolutely nothing," Orozco, an organizer with the Ella Baker Center, said. She said the fire department showed up and extinguished the fire.
It is not clear if the looting of the store is connected to anyone who may have been protesting ICE.
The video shows chaotic moments of a crowd of people at the store's entrance as the mob rushes in to take whatever they please.
People can be heard on the video encouraging each other to "hurry up!"
Looters can be seen with armfuls of piles of clothing taken directly off the rack. Several of the thieves are wearing hooded sweatshirts and many people have masks to partially obscure their faces, although some people's faces can clearly be seen on the video.
The video captures the moment a sledgehammer is used to break into the store.
It is not clear if anyone was hurt by these incidents.

ICE: Most detained Glenn Valley Foods workers being held, processed in North Platte facility
Immigration agents converge on Glenn Valley Foods Tuesday for an immigration raid. (Courtesy of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement) OMAHA — The bulk of the nearly 80 workers detained in a high-profile June 10 immigration raid at a food plant in Omaha are at the Lincoln County Jail in North Platte, according to a Saturday update from the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. More than 60 are at the Lincoln County facility pending further proceedings, a statement said. Three Mexican natives here without proper legal status signed paperwork to voluntarily return to their home country. Three workers from Guatemala were transferred to Alexandria, Louisiana, in preparation for their removal from the country. Among them, one has a final order of removal that had been issued in 2019, one has been removed from the country on four previous occasions and another has three DUIs and one illegal reentry conviction, according to an ICE statement. Mark Zito, special agent in charge of Homeland Security Investigations in Kansas City, a jurisdiction that covers Omaha, again pushed back on what he called a false narrative — that 'these are just hardworking immigrants looking for the American dream.' Zito called that 'ludicrous.' 'These crimes have lasting effects,' he said, saying the 'real victims' may be left to deal with years of frustration trying to restore their identities. ICE has said the raid at Glenn Valley Foods was predicated on the suspicion that many workers at the plant used stolen or fraudulent identification to gain employment. The raid was highly publicized, as federal officials also allowed a national news outlet into the plant to video it. The raid set off several anti-ICE and Trump administration protests in Omaha, including one Friday near the NCAA men's College World Series. Organizers of that march and rally, which drew several hundred people, wanted a national backdrop to let their message be heard. Saturday, Nebraska and Iowa 'No Kings' rallies and others across the country protested what they call authoritarian overreach by the Trump administration.

Mexico wins its Gold Cup opener, but ‘El Tri' fans were in no celebratory mood
They played a soccer game at SoFi Stadium on Saturday. Not that many people really cared. Mexico won, beating the Dominican Republic 3-2 in the first game of the monthlong CONCACAF Gold Cup. Yet even the team's biggest fans found it hard to celebrate given what was going on just a dozen miles away, where hundreds of people protested in front of police, national guard troops and U.S. Marines during the eighth day of protests over federal immigration raids aimed at the Latino community. 'When the Mexican team plays, it's a celebration, right? But no, it wasn't,' said El Coronel, the nom de guerre of the leader of Pancho Villa's Army, the Mexican national team's largest supporter group in the U.S. — a group started by Sergio Tristan, a Texas attorney and national guard colonel who spent 30 months on the front lines in Iraq as a U.S. Army infantryman. They couldn't celebrate because many in Southern California's Latino community — citizens and immigrants, documented and not — were being targeted by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents. So they stayed away from Saturday's game, believing it would be a target-rich environment for ICE. In response, Pancho Villa's Army confined its band to their barracks and canceled its traditionally joyful pregame tailgate party Saturday. Cielto Lindo and Patrones de México, the national team's two other major supporters' group in the U.S., did the same. 'We don't feel right celebrating with music and food [when] our brothers and sisters and cousins and mothers are all suffering from what's happening,' said El Coronel, who attended the game as a civilian, wearing a blue hoodie rather than a national team jersey. 'While others are suffering, it just doesn't seem right.' Last week the Department of Homeland Security announced on social media that federal agents would provide security for the FIFA Club World Cup, which also kicked off Saturday in South Florida, raising concerns that fans attending soccer matches could be targeted in immigration sweeps. The security presence at SoFi Stadium was normal, however, visibly limited to uniformed police officers and the ubiquitous yellow-clad workers from Contemporary Services Corp., a private company. 'Everything,' El Coronel said, heaving a sigh of relief 'is calm.' But fears over what could happen left most of SoFi's top deck empty and the lower bowl just half filled. Mexico's last three games at SoFi drew an average attendance of more than 64,000; Saturday's drew an often-subdued crowd announced at 54,309. Carmen Garcia of El Monte came, but reluctantly. She bought a $350 VIP ticket a month ago but had second thoughts once the ICE raids began. 'I tried to get a refund,' she said in Spanish. 'They said no. So we are here, but we are not happy.' One of those who didn't enter was Daniel Fuentes of Los Angeles, who instead gathered with a group of anti-ICE protesters across the street from the stadium a couple of hours before the game. 'I am a soccer fan but today we are not for soccer,' he said in Spanish. 'It is not fair what Donald Trump is doing, lifting up our working people saying they are criminals and it is not so. 'They are raging against us Latinos, saying we are the worst.' The Mexican soccer federation generates about a third of its annual income in the U.S. through matchday income, TV rights and sponsorship deals driven by the large Mexican and Mexican-American fan base in the country. The team's U.S. tour ahead of the 2022 World Cup, for example, reportedly generated $31 million. But while those fans have long backed the team, given the chance to return the favor, the team decided to stay silent. The media were told coach Javier Aguirre — the Mexican-born son of Spanish immigrants — and his players would only answer questions about soccer. Mexico, the reigning Gold Cup champion, started slowly in opening its defense of its title in the biennial 16-team tournament. The Dominican Republic, ranked 139th in the world and playing in the confederation championship for the first time, frustrated 'El Tri' for most of the first half before an Edson Alvarez header put Mexico ahead to stay a minute before the intermission. Raúl Jiménez brought the crowd out of its stupor less than two minutes into the second half, chasing a through ball from Santiago Giménez into the penalty area, then finishing with his right foot from the edge of the six-yard box to double the lead. Peter González halved the deficit for the Dominican Republic in the 51st minute before Mexico's César Montes and the Dominican's Edison Azcona traded scores 14 minutes apart. Montes' goal came first, on a header that ricocheted off a couple of players before one-hopping its way just inside the left goalpost in the 53rd minute. Azcona answered with a right-footed shot from the left wing that bounced off a pair of Mexican defenders and over goalkeeper Luis Malagon. The teams move on to Arlington, Texas, for their second group-play games Wednesday, with Mexico facing Suriname and the Dominican Republic playing Costa Rica. The U.S. opened its Gold Cup schedule Sunday in San José against Trinidad and Tobago. Staff writer Eduard Cauich contributed to this story.

Person of interest in custody after shooting at 'No Kings' demonstration in Utah
A person of interest was taken into custody Saturday night during a "No Kings" protest in Salt Lake City, Utah, according to police. Salt Lake City Police said one person was injured in the shooting, which happened near 200 South State Street. The victim was transported to a hospital with life-threatening injuries. Police urged demonstrators to leave the area in an orderly fashion. Police said the shooting was "possibly associated" with the protest. The situation remains "fluid," police said. A group of about 10,000 people marched between Pioneer Park and the Federal Building before the shooting on South State Street. Police were at the scene monitoring the demonstration and providing an escort for the march "to support public safety and the lawful expression of First Amendment rights." Fox News Digital has reached out to police for additional information about the shooting. "No Kings" demonstrations rolled out in cities across the country on Saturday to protest President Donald Trump. Participants shouted anti-authoritarian chants and voiced support for protecting democracy and immigrants rights. The demonstrations came on the same day as the roughly $45 million military parade in Washington, D.C., to celebrate the Army's 250th birthday and Trump's 79th birthday.
