Man charged with stalking Jennifer Aniston
A man accused of crashing his car through the gates of actor Jennifer Aniston's home has been charged with stalking and vandalism.
Jimmy Wayne Carwyle, of New Albany, Mississippi, is accused of repeatedly sending the Friends star unwanted voicemail, email and social media messages since March 2023.
The 48-year-old is alleged to have crashed his grey Chrysler PT Cruiser through the front gate of Aniston's home in the Bel Air neighbourhood of Los Angeles on Monday afternoon.
Prosecutors said the collision caused major damage and Aniston, 56, was at home at the time of the incident.
According to the LA Police Department, a security guard stopped Carwyle on Aniston's driveway before police arrived and arrested him.
Carwyle has been charged with felony stalking and vandalism, prosecutors said on Thursday.
He also faces an aggravating circumstance of the threat of great bodily harm.
Carwyle is accused of harassing the Friends actor since 1 March 2023 by sending her unwanted communications.
He is due to appear in court on Thursday.
If convicted of the charges, he could face up to three years in prison, according to the LA Police Department.
District Attorney Nathan Hochman said: "Stalking is a crime that can quickly escalate from harassment to dangerous, violent actions.
"My office is committed to aggressively prosecuting those who stalk and terrorise others."
Aniston has not yet commented on the incident and there have been no reports of injuries.
This is not the first time Aniston has encountered stalking, having previously obtained a restraining order against a man who believed he was in a relationship with her in 2010.

‘Fox & Friends' Host Freaks Out About Musk's ‘Crazy' Trump War: ‘What Are You Doing?!'
Fox & Friends host Brian Kilmeade struggled to comprehend just how badly President Donald Trump and Elon Musk's bubbling feud dramatically escalated during Thursday's back-and-forth. 'The Epstein file thing was way over the top and just crazy—to say that Trump was in the Epstein files. I mean, what are you doing?' Kilmeade said Friday morning. 'Sometimes when people get drunk, they do crazy things. But this is a total escalation.' The simmering tensions between Trump and Musk reached a very public boiling point as the pair exchanged a series of threats and attacks on social media. This included Trump saying Musk went 'crazy' over his plan to remove an electric vehicle (EV) mandate from his One Big Beautiful Bill Act, and suggesting the 'easiest way to save' billions of dollars from the budget would be to terminate the government subsidies that Musk's tech companies receive. Musk retaliated in a series of posts on X, including claiming, 'Without me, Trump would have lost the election,' and reposting calls for the president to be impeached and replaced with JD Vance. Musk also suggested Trump's sweeping tariffs will cause the U.S. to fall into a recession before dropping the 'really big bomb' that escalated the feud even further. 'Trump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public,' Musk wrote. Jeffrey Epstein, the billionaire financier, died by suicide in 2019 while awaiting federal sex-trafficking charges. He was known for having a series of high-profile friends, such as former President Bill Clinton and Britain's Prince Andrew. Epstein and Trump were at the very least acquaintances, with the pair sometimes hanging out together at the president's Mar-a-Lago resort in the 1990s. In a 2002 interview with New York magazine, Trump praised Epstein as a 'terrific guy' he had known for 15 years. 'He's a lot of fun to be with,' Trump said. 'It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.' The Justice Department has vowed to release files related to Epstein. So far, Attorney General Pam Bondi has only authorized the release of documents 'previously leaked but never released in a formal capacity' by the government in February. There is no evidence Trump was connected to or aware of Epstein's crimes, with the pair said to have fallen out over a Palm Beach real estate deal in 2004. Discussing the bust-up between Trump and Musk, Kilmeade suggested that the tech billionaire's opposition to Trump's mega bill shows he doesn't know how to achieve compromise in politics. 'He doesn't understand that Donald Trump has to make [Republican Congressman] Mike Lawler happy in New York, and he's got to make every conservative congressman in Texas happy,' Kilmeade said. 'He's got to conduct an orchestra where the bassoon is having a fight with the oboe and the trumpets don't like the saxophone. All Trump has to do is get the song done. And what Musk does is say, 'If I don't agree with the saxophone and the oboe, I don't want to play.''

ICE Hits New Migrant Arrest Record In Single Day: What To Know
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) hit a record-breaking milestone this week, arresting more than 2,200 undocumented migrants in a single day. The arrests were made on Tuesday and come as the agency responds to increasing pressure from the White House to ramp un enforcement operations, according to NBC News. Newsweek has contacted ICE for comment outside of office hours. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers taking part in an operation in Silver Spring, Maryland, in January. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers taking part in an operation in Silver Spring, Maryland, in January. Alex Brandon/AP Why It Matters The spike in arrests comes just days after White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller confirmed that President Donald Trump's administration will seek to triple the number of ICE arrests. Trump has vowed to carry out the largest mass deportation program in U.S. history. The White House has said it will go after the "worst of the worst", and said anyone living in the country illegally is a "criminal." What To Know The new detention figures represent roughly a 37 percent increase in daily arrests. Tod Lyons, ICE's acting director, said on Fox & Friends on Sunday that ICE was previously averaging around 1,6000 arrests per day. In the first 100 days of Trump's administration, federal immigration agents arrested 66,463 migrants without legal status and removed 65,682 individuals, according to ICE. ICE has deployed a new strategy of making arrests at immigration courthouses and scheduled immigration appointments. More than 1,500 migrants with criminal records were arrested on Monday in Massachusetts as a part of one of the largest operations carried out under the administration, according to ICE officials. What People Are Saying Miller told Fox News' Sean Hannity in May: "We are looking to set a goal of a minimum of 3,000 arrests for ICE every day and President Trump is going to keep pushing to get that number up higher each and every single day so we can get all of the Biden the illegals that were flooded into our country for four years out of our country." Setareh Ghandehari, advocacy director of Detention Watch Network said in a statement shared with Newsweek: "'Operation At Large' is a hyper-militarized police state and an inflection point in the rising authoritarianism of Trump's regime. The operation doubles ICE's lock-up quota to a shocking 3,000 people a day, deepens interagency police collaboration including with the FBI, and once approved, will supercharge the already massive police force with up to 21,000 National Guard troops. "This authoritarian campaign will reportedly weaponize the IRS to target people using tax information and even grant them the unprecedented authority to make arrests. Everyone should be horrified. This is not a 'crackdown' – this is an affront on daily life." Aaron Reichlin-Melnick, senior fellow at the American Immigration Council, said in a post on X, formerly Twitter: "Arrests at immigration courts continue nationwide, and are getting even more arbitrary." What Happens Next The administration is expected to increase enforcement operations as it looks to remove millions of undocumented migrants as part of the GOP's flagship mass deportation policy.

Former MLB star calls out AOC's 'virtue signaling' after antisemitic attack in Colorado
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is striking out with a Jewish former Major League Baseball player over her response to a recent antisemitic attack in Colorado. "We're just at a point now where the Jewish people are just tired. We're tired of having to deal with so much hatred," said Kevin Youkilis, a World Series champion with the Boston Red Sox, during an appearance on "Fox & Friends," Wednesday. His comments come after Ocasio-Cortez posted on social media about the attack, which targeted a pro-Israel group gathered to call for the return of Israeli hostages held in captivity by Hamas. Multiple people were injured when the suspect allegedly used homemade incendiary devices to attack attendees. Suspect Mohamed Sabry Soliman is now facing hate crime, attempted murder, assault and other charges. World Series Champ Calls Out Aoc Over Response To Boulder Attack In her post on X, formerly Twitter, Ocasio-Cortez condemned the violence in Colorado and warned that antisemitism is "on the rise." She called on the public to confront hate "everywhere it exists." Read On The Fox News App But Youkilis said her words rang hollow. Trump Administration Promises Justice For Slain Israeli Couple In Dc Shooting Responding on X, he wrote: "Jews are targeted with violence and it's the same virtue signal post time and time again. What have you done to confront those calling for intifadas in NYC? Until you create a plan of action, your repeated virtue signaling after the violence occurs holds no weight." Youkilis pointed to growing antisemitic rhetoric on college campuses and at protests in New York, some of which have included calls for the dismantling of the Jewish state. He argued that condemning violence after attacks happen isn't enough from lawmakers. "When we hear this rhetoric, and it's pushed out in our universities and on the streets, it just has to stop. It brings a lot of fear. It stokes the violence," he said, referencing protests in the United States that intensified following the October 7th Hamas attack on Israel. 'Squad' Members Condemn Antisemitic Attack In Boulder After Years Of Controversy While he agreed with Ocasio-Cortez that antisemitism is a "moral issue," Youkilis said her actions don't reflect a serious commitment to combating it. Hysterical Town Hall Attendee Interrupts Aoc, Yells About 'Genocide' In Gaza: 'You're A Liar!' The attack in Colorado follows another incident last month in Washington, D.C., where two Israeli diplomats, set to be engaged, were gunned down in an apparent hate crime. The suspect was arrested at the Capital Jewish Museum, and reportedly shouted, "Free, free Palestine." Youkilis said he's seen a noticeable shift in the safety of Jews in America, noting increased security at Jewish community centers, schools, and synagogues. He praised lawmakers, like Rep. Ritchie Torres, D-N.Y., for speaking out repeatedly against antisemitism. Exclusive Video: Aoc Refuses To Say Whether Democrats' Rhetoric Is Responsible For Tesla Attacks "Ritchie Torres has been fabulous in the way he has spoken out," Youkilis said, urging other lawmakers to follow his example. While Youkilis emphasized his strong belief in the rights of Americans to voice their opinions, he called on public officials to better distinguish between free speech and hate speech. "First Amendment rights are First Amendment rights, and I'm a firm believer in that as an American, and a proud American," said the former first baseman, who served as the Israeli team's hitting coach at the World Baseball Classic in 2023. "But we also have to have our leadership that can decipher between what is hate and how people are [going to] build upon it."Original article source: Former MLB star calls out AOC's 'virtue signaling' after antisemitic attack in Colorado
