Rapper Sean Kingston sentenced to 3.5 years in prison
Rapper Sean Kingston has been handed a federal prison sentence of three and a half years after being convicted in a high-profile fraud case involving more than USD 1 million worth of stolen luxury goods. The Jamaican-American artist, best known for his 2007 hit Beautiful Girls, was found guilty earlier this year alongside his mother, Janice Turner, for orchestrating a wire fraud operation. Prosecutors said the pair acquired expensive items, including designer watches, a massive 232-inch LED television, a bulletproof Cadillac Escalade, and high-end furniture, by leveraging Kingston's celebrity status and then falsifying payments. According to court documents, Kingston, whose legal name is Kisean Anderson, and his mother provided victims with fake wire transfer receipts once payments were due. 'I told you to make [a] fake receipt,' Kingston wrote in one text message to his mother, which prosecutors presented as key evidence at trial. Turner received a five-year prison sentence in July. Before the judge issued his ruling, Kingston expressed remorse in court. He apologized and told the court that he had learned from his mistakes, US media reported. The scheme began unraveling in 2024 when authorities raided Kingston's Florida home near Fort Lauderdale. Turner was taken into custody during that operation, while Kingston himself was arrested in California, where he was scheduled to perform at an Army base in the Mojave Desert. Investigators said Kingston often contacted victims through social media, claiming he wanted to purchase luxury items. He invited them to his homes in South Florida, promising to promote their products on his social platforms or connect them with 'high profile celebrities.' But instead of actual payments, fake wire receipts were sent, leaving many victims unpaid until law enforcement or civil lawsuits forced partial compensation. Kingston's lawyer, Zeljka Bozanic, argued that the singer was 'a soft guy who grew up poor when he rose to fame overnight' and that he lacked the financial maturity to properly manage his affairs. Kingston, who also scored chart success with tracks like Fire Burning, Take You There, and Eenie Meenie featuring Justin Bieber, will begin serving his sentence immediately.

Ex-Superman actor signs up to serve as ICE agent
Dean Cain, best known for playing Superman in the 1990s TV series Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, says he's preparing to officially join US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) as part of the agency's intensified recruitment effort under the Trump administration. In an appearance on Fox News this week, the actor-turned-law enforcement officer revealed, 'I will be sworn in as an ICE agent asap.' Cain already holds positions as a sworn deputy sheriff and reserve police officer. His announcement follows a video he released encouraging Americans to join ICE, aligning with a bold push by the agency to bring in 10,000 new personnel. The expansion is part of a broader federal plan to accelerate deportations nationwide, with the goal of removing up to one million undocumented immigrants annually. 'I put out a recruitment video yesterday, I'm actually a sworn deputy sheriff and a reserve police officer, I wasn't part of ICE, but once I put that out there and you put a little blurb on your show, it went crazy,' Cain said during the interview. 'So now I've spoken with some officials over at ICE, and I will be sworn in as an ICE agent asap.' He added, 'People have to step up. I'm stepping up. Hopefully a whole bunch of other former officers, former ICE agents will step up, and we'll meet those recruitment goals immediately and we'll help protect this country.' ICE's new hiring campaign was launched in late July and has already drawn tens of thousands of applicants. To meet its ambitious goals, the agency is offering significant incentives, including bonuses of up to USD 50,000 and student loan assistance. The Department of Homeland Security, which oversees ICE, even issued posters modeled after wartime propaganda with slogans like 'America Needs You' and 'Defend the Homeland,' featuring prominent officials including President Donald Trump and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. By midweek, DHS reported more than 80,000 applications had been submitted. According to Noem, age restrictions for applicants have been lifted to further widen the applicant pool. ICE, currently composed of around 20,000 personnel stationed in over 400 offices nationwide, is seeking to add a range of positions including deportation officers, legal staff, investigators, and visa adjudicators. This surge in ICE resources follows the passage of a sweeping spending bill signed by President Trump, allocating over USD 76 billion to the agency, nearly ten times its previous funding, making it the most well-funded law enforcement body in the federal system. The intensified enforcement and recruitment campaign has sparked backlash from immigration advocates and civil rights groups, who argue that increased raids and deportations under the Trump administration violate due process and human rights. Protests against ICE operations have erupted in multiple US cities in recent years.
