4 Miami police internal affairs officers suspended amid drug test investigation, source says
Two police officers, a sergeant and a lieutenant with the Miami Police Department's Internal Affairs Unit have been suspended and placed on administrative leave as part of an ongoing investigation, according to a senior law enforcement source with direct knowledge of the case.
The two officers were relieved after allegedly failing a random drug test, the source said.
The internal investigation focuses on whether the sergeant and lieutenant followed departmental policies designed "to guarantee the integrity of the Miami Police Department remains intact," the source added.
The department has not publicly identified the officers or released additional details about the circumstances surrounding the investigation.
CBS News Miami reached out to the department officially and is waiting to hear back. We have also reached out to the president of the Miami Police Union and the Fraternal Order of Police and are waiting to hear back.

Mahmoud Khalil's legal team files new request to have him released on bail or returned to New Jersey
Lawyers for Columbia University graduate student Mahmoud Khalil renewed requests to have the pro-Palestinian activist released on bail or transferred from an immigration detention center in Louisiana to New Jersey, where he can be closer to his family and his counsel, according to court documents filed on Monday. Lawyers for Khalil submitted renewed motions in response to a federal judge's decision to continue holding Khalil in custody after lawyers for the Department of Justice argued that Khalil's failure to provide information on his permanent residence application was sufficient to prevent his release. 'This is just another cruel attempt by the government to punish Mahmoud for his protected speech,' Marc Van Der Hout, one of Khalil's attorneys, said in a statement. 'Detaining someone on a charge like this is highly unusual and, frankly, outrageous.' Last week, Judge Michael Farbiarz said a determination by Secretary of State Marco Rubio that the Palestinian activist and Columbia University graduate student's presence in the country had 'potentially serious adverse foreign policy consequences for the United States' was likely unconstitutional and ordered Khalil's release. The government swiftly appealed. In their request, lawyers for Khalil described his ongoing detention as 'extraordinary' and said he is entitled to bail, noting he is not a flight risk or a danger to the community. CNN reached out to the Department of Justice for a response to the new filing. Khalil, a lawful permanent resident – who is married to a US citizen – remains at a Louisiana ICE detention center, where he has been held for more than three months after he was arrested outside his apartment on Columbia University's campus in March. He has missed out on key milestones due to his detainment: notably the birth of his first child in April and his Columbia graduation. The Syrian-born Palestinian refugee is one of several foreign nationals the Trump administration has accused of posing a national security threat due to alleged ties to terrorist organizations – a claim his attorneys have repeatedly disputed. His detention has sparked protests across the country from supporters who believe his detention is a flagrant violation of core American values, including the protection of free speech. The administration has relied on an obscure section of US law to argue that Khalil should be deported because his presence in the United States threatens the administration's foreign policy goal of combatting antisemitism. His lawyers, meanwhile, have challenged the legality of Khalil's detention and contend he was targeted for his pro-Palestinian views, in violation of his constitutional rights. They argue the government's evidence is insufficient and based solely on a letter from Rubio that does not allege criminal activity.

Fake cop suspected in lawmaker assassination had extensive security training before 'targeted' attack
The Minnesota man accused of murdering a lawmaker and her husband, and leaving another lawmaker and his wife injured while dressed as a police officer possessed an extensive security background, raising questions about his access to weapons and law enforcement uniforms in what authorities are calling a "targeted" attack. Vance Luther Boelter, 57, is accused of killing former Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, and shooting state Sen. John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, in separate incidents early Saturday morning. Boelter allegedly arrived at both lawmakers' homes dressed in a law enforcement-like uniform and driving a black SUV with flashing emergency lights and a license plate that read "police." "Boelter wore a black tactical vest and body armor. He carried a flashlight and a Beretta 9 mm handgun," acting U.S. Attorney Joseph H. Thompson said. "He also wore a hyper-realistic silicon mask. Senator Hoffman had a security camera. I've seen the footage from that camera, and it is chilling. Boelter knocked on Senator Hoffman's front door, and repeatedly shouted, 'This is police. Open the door.'" When Hoffman and his wife approached, Boelter allegedly shined a flashlight into their faces before shooting them and fleeing the scene. The couple's daughter then called 911, according to Thompson. "Let's say I'm an active cop," Bill Stanton, a former NYPD officer and author of "Prepared Not Scared," told Fox News Digital. "And many of these states have different uniforms county to county. So if I roll up and I see a car with flashing lights, it may be a county I didn't know. My initial knee-jerk reaction, as a cop responding, is this law enforcement agency that I'm not aware of." After leaving Hoffman's home, Boelter then allegedly drove to Hortman's residence and knocked on the lawmaker's door wearing a silicone mask and law enforcement uniform. At the same time, local police were en route to Hoffman's home to conduct a wellness check. "The New Hope police officer pulled up next to Boelter, rolled down her window and attempted to speak with him," Thompson said. "Boelter did not respond. The New Hope police officer proceeded to the state senator's home, and she waited for law enforcement to arrive. By the time they did, Boelter had left the scene." Boelter allegedly fled on foot, prompting a two-day-long manhunt that ended with him being taken into custody without incident. Fox News Digital was unable to immediately identify an attorney for Boelter. "My first instinct wouldn't be [that] this is a fake cop looking to kill someone," Stanton said. "The reason being is it's so rare, because it's such a heavy charge – impersonating a police officer. That's a major felony in many, many states." Boelter has an extensive history of private security training and was working as director of Praetorian Guard Security Services, a company created by his wife, and CEO of Red Lion Group, according to his LinkedIn page. "I have been doing projects in the Democratic Republic of Congo in Central Africa for the last three years with the Red Lion Group," Boelter wrote on his LinkedIn page last month, noting that he is currently open to work. Boelter's ties to private security and prior law enforcement training may have provided him with the tools needed to carry out the alleged crimes, Stanton said. "It was a long decline into insanity with this guy," Stanton told Fox News Digital. "An obsession – he started targeting; My guess is he's been doing this for years. And then finally, there was some trigger event that made him activate." In addition to his experience in security, Boelter has reportedly received training by members of the U.S. military and private firms, with the Praetorian Guard Security's website depicting photos of tactical gear and other police-style uniforms. However, Stanton pointed to the improbability of an individual going to the lengths of impersonating a police officer to commit a crime, suggesting Boelter allegedly did so because of his high-profile targets. "The odds of someone perpetuating themselves as a false cop are so rare [that] the odds are much greater that you're going to get straight up mugged, robbed or burglarized," Stanton said, adding, "The fact that this was politically motivated and someone went to such obsessive means to achieve their end, that's why this isn't an everyday occurrence." While the odds of being approached by a fake officer are lower than being victimized by other crimes, Stanton stresses that there are ways to stay safe if an individual appears suspicious, such as calling the police to confirm an officer's identity before engaging or driving to a police station while being pulled over. "We see videos of thugs trying to kick in the door with a mask or a hoodie on," Stanton said. "That's what's going to happen a lot sooner than someone identifying themselves as a cop. So be prepared, not scared, and have your situational awareness of security." Boelter is charged with two counts of stalking, two counts of murder and two counts of firearm-related crimes in federal court. He is also facing second-degree murder charges on the state level.

Officers who cover their faces could be charged with a misdemeanor under California proposal
Local, state, and federal law enforcement officers who cover their faces while conducting official business could face a misdemeanor charge in California under a new proposal announced Monday. If approved, the bill would require all law enforcement officials to show their faces and be identifiable by their uniform, which should carry their name or other identifier. It would not apply to the National Guard or other troops and it would exempt SWAT teams and officers responding to natural disasters. The Department of Homeland Security called the proposal 'despicable' in a post on X, saying ICE officers are facing a 'more than 400 percent increase in assault.' State Sen. Scott Wiener, a Democrat representing San Francisco, and State Sen. Jesse Arreguin, a Democrat representing Berkeley and Oakland, said the proposal seeks to boost transparency and public trust in law enforcement. It also looks to protect against people trying to impersonate law enforcement, they said. 'We are seeing more and more law enforcement officers, particularly at the federal level, covering their faces entirely, not identifying themselves at all and, at times, even wearing army fatigues where we can't tell if these are law enforcement officers or a vigilante militia,' Wiener said. 'They are grabbing people off our streets and disappearing people, and it's terrifying,' he added. In Los Angeles, a series of immigration raids June 6 by federal officers, some with face coverings, triggered days of turbulent protests across the city and beyond and led President Donald Trump to deploy National Guard troopsand Marines to the LA area. More than 100 people were detained during those raids and immigrant advocates say they have not been able to contact them. The state senators said that in recent months, federal officers have conducted raids while covering their faces, and at times their badges and names, in Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, Concord, Downey and Montebello. 'Law enforcement officers are public servants and people should be able to see their faces, see who they are, know who they are. Otherwise, there is no transparency and no accountability,' Wiener said. Videos of raids showing masked officers using unmarked vehicles and grabbing people off the streets have circulated on social media in recent weeks. DHS defended the officers' wearing of masks in its post on X. Besides an increase in assaults, DHS says people have launched websites to reveal the identifies of ICE officers. 'While ICE officers are being assaulted by rioters, a sanctuary politician is trying to outlaw officers wearing masks to protect themselves from being doxed and targeted by known and suspected terrorist sympathizers,' the statement says. Ed Obayashi, a special prosecutor in California and an expert on national and state police practices, said the proposed legislation would be tough to enforce because federal officers can't be prosecuted by state courts for activities performed during their official duties. 'If they are following federal directives, they are following federal law,' Obayashi said. He said that when it comes to local and state officers, they are already required by law to have identifiable information and department insignia on their uniforms. Todd Lyons, ICE's acting director, has defended his officers using facemasks, saying they wear them to protect themselves from death threats and online harassment. 'I'm sorry if people are offended by them wearing masks, but I'm not going to let my officers and agents go out there and put their lives on the line, their family on the line because people don't like what immigration enforcement is,' he said at a news conference earlier this month in Boston to announce nearly 1,500 arrests in the region as part of a monthlong 'surge operation.'
