Illegal migrant caught with $12M of crystal meth in South Dakota: officials
An illegal immigrant was arrested in South Dakota while transporting $12 million in methamphetamine — the largest single seizure of the drug in the state Highway Patrol's history, Gov. Larry Rhoden announced on Monday. The 42-year-old man, who was not identified, was pulled over during a traffic stop by South Dakota Highway Patrol while he was speeding on Interstate 90 in Sturgis, roughly 100 miles west of the Wyoming border, according to a press release from the governor's office. A 42-year-old man was arrested after South Dakota Highway Patrol found 207 pounds of crystal meth in his car. South Dakota Governors Office Advertisement Turns out, the driver was carting a staggering 207 pounds of crystal meth in his vehicle — roughly the same weight of an adult black bear. Authorities emptied out his vehicle and recovered stash, which has a street value of approximately $12 million, according to the release. The suspect was 'found to be a non-citizen and is now in immigration proceedings,' according to the release. His country of origin and where he was detained is unclear. Advertisement The drug bust was part of the governor's Operation Prairie Thunder, which allows law enforcement in the state to assist Immigration and Customs Enforcement. 'We are taking action to protect the people of South Dakota from criminals and drug traffickers. Our Highway Patrol showed incredible professionalism in achieving this record drug bust,' Roden said. The man, who authorities determined wasn't a US citizen, was sent to immigration proceedings. South Dakota Highway Patrol Facebook 'I promised that my administration would keep South Dakota strong, safe, and free – and we will continue to deliver on that promise through Operation: Prairie Thunder.' Advertisement In early 2025, Roden also entered into an agreement with ICE that gave the state's Highway Patrol officers the ability to 'perform certain immigration enforcement functions,' including the power to arrest without a warrant. The 287(g) Task Force agreements were discontinued under the Obama and Biden administrations, but reintroduced by President Trump on the day of his inauguration. As of May 2025, 40 states have at least one active 287(g) Task Force agreement in place, according to ICE. Other agencies involved in the investigation include the Drug Enforcement Administration, FBI, Homeland Security Investigations, Meade County Sheriff's Office and Rapid City Police Department, according to the release.

Over 60,000 Are in Immigration Detention, a Modern High, Records Show
The number of people in immigration detention reached a new high of more than 60,000 on Monday, breaking a modern record set during the first Trump administration, according to internal records from Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The number of detained people has jumped since January, when about 39,000 people were in immigration detention, reflecting efforts by the Trump administration to quickly ramp up arrests and deportations. According to ICE records obtained by The New York Times, more than 1,100 people had been detained since Friday, about 380 people a day. The capacity for immigration officers to detain people has grown rapidly since ICE was formed in 2003. Twenty years ago, the average daily population of detained immigrants was approximately 7,000, according to the American Immigration Lawyers Association. The previous peak since the government's current method of counting began was 55,654 in August 2019, during the first Trump administration. The latest figures reflect the shifting focus of immigration policing: Most of the people detained in January had been arrested by Customs and Border Protection, the agency that patrols the nation's land borders, seaports and airports. ICE, which conducts immigration raids in the nation's interior, is now making the overwhelming majority of arrests six months into President Trump's second term. Mr. Trump has made his escalating immigration crackdown a focus of his second term. His administration, and his allies in Republican-led states, have devoted considerable effort to expanding the government's ability to arrest, detain and deport immigrants. Mr. Trump, who was re-elected on a promise of mass deportations, has often expressed frustration that arrests and deportations are not rising more quickly. Immigration arrests require extensive resources, including ample time for surveillance, and the Trump administration has laid out ambitious long-term plans to expand ICE, after Congress more than tripled the agency's budget from about $8 billion to roughly $28 billion.

Peter Goodwin of Virginia cheats on wife with former nanny: court papers
They're headed for a 50/50 split. The married son of a powerful Virginia bowling billionaire had a seamy affair with his kids' ex-nanny — and callously informed his wife he wanted a divorce as she held their baby Christmas Day, bombshell court papers claim. The sordid marital strife now rocking one of the Old Dominion State's most prominent families pits Rolex- and race car-loving scion Peter Goodwin, 40, against wife Cara Goodwin, a 40-year-old popular clinical psychologist. Advertisement 6 Peter Goodwin, the son of prominent Virginia billionaire William Goodwin, is divorcing his wife Cara after having an affair with their former nanny, court papers claim. 6 Goodwin allegedly stayed at hotels around the country with his kids' ex-nanny, Annette Lombard, court papers say. Instagram/Annette Lombard Peter — whose uber-successful dad William Goodwin is a former co-owner of the AMF Bowling chain, among a slew of other mega business ventures — kicked off the pair's divorce battle when he delivered his ill-timed big reveal to Cara over the 2023 holiday at their Virginia estate, according to documents obtained by The Post. Advertisement Cara 'sat in front of him holding their four-month-old daughter' as he told her they were through and fled, screaming obscenities while the couple's other three kids watched, read the court papers filed by Cara in Albemarle County Circuit Court. Within six days of leaving his wife, the dad of four and his blond younger honey, former family nanny Annette Lombard, were romping together at the posh Four Seasons Hotel at the Surf Club in Surfside, Fla., the documents allege. Over the next few months, the illicit pair 'engaged in adulterous acts'' everywhere from Jackson Hole, Wyo., to the former couple's Palm Beach, Fla., pad, the papers say. 6 Peter's Instagram page features dozens of sports cars and luxury watches. Advertisement Lombard, now 27, began working for the couple around age 21, starting in 2019 while she was an undergrad at the University of Virginia, court papers say. Beginning in the spring of 2020, Lombard lived with Peter and Cara and the kids for about a year as she cared for the children during the pandemic, according to the documents. She became so close to the kids that they referred to her as their sister, the filing says. That same year, Peter hired Lombard to also work for him at his office — and eventually promoted her to a vice president of his company. Advertisement But by the end of the year, Cara told her husband of her 'growing discomfort regarding the nature of his interactions with'' Lombard, which he 'dismissed,'' the documents say. 6 Cara claims in court papers that Peter told her on Christmas Day 2023 that he was leaving her. Instagram/parentingtranslator Fewer than two years later, in August 2023, Cara had the couple's fourth child. The next month, Peter 'began expressing strong desire for more independence and time away from his family to focus on his own self-care,'' the divorce papers say. Peter's Instagram page, under the username 'timetodrive5,' features the tagline 'just trying to keep the revs high.' It has dozens of posts of sports cars, race cars and luxury watches, and he has nearly 17,000 followers. Cara's Instagram page meanwhile has the username 'parentingtranslator' and says she has a PhD in child psychology. 6 Peter and Cara have four children together, with the youngest just 4 months old when Peter left Cara, court papers allege. Advertisement The page, which has 135,000 followers, features parenting advice, memes and research. Peter's dad, William, retired as the head of investment entities CCA Industries and the Riverstone Group, which has interests in everything from the Kiawah Island Golf Resort in South Carolina to the posh Jefferson Hotel in Richmond, Va. He has been featured in the press through the years for his philanthropic work, donating tens of millions of dollars to cancer research and to education. William was also appointed to the UVA board by former Virginia Gov. George Allen and again by ex-Gov. Bob McDonnell. Advertisement His son filed for divorce from Cara in January 2025, court records show. Peter admitted to the affair in his response to Cara's allegations in her own documents. 6 Peter is known for his love of the finest things in life. Instagram/timetodrive5 The estranged couple was hitched in 2014 and have two daughters, ages 2 and 9, and two sons, ages 5 and 7, court papers show. They have a prenup agreement. Advertisement Cara is seeking half of their marital assets — including from their companies — child support and $500,000 to pay lawyers and experts as she fights the divorce case, the filings show. They currently share custody of their children after working out an agreement on that front in Feb. 27, 2024, the filing says. A rep for Cara and a representative for Peter separately declined to comment. Lombard did not return Post requests for comment. Peter filed a motion last month to seal the divorce case, which Cara's side is opposing.
