New Orleans rescue dog Scrim found safe yet again after going missing for months
Scrim, a runaway white Terrier who has captivated the attention of many in New Orleans after pulling off two escapes last year has been rescued for a third time, a local animal group announced Tuesday.
After months on the run, Scrim was found Tuesday morning by a member of the nonprofit animal group Trap Dat Cat, according to Zeus' Rescues, a second animal group.
Scrum had been missing since he jumped 13 feet out of a second-story window in November while being cared for in the home of Michelle Cheramie of Zeus' Rescues.
"He has had quite an ordeal since leaping from a second story window in November," Cheramie wrote in an Instagram post Wednesday. "He had to start over in a completely different part of New Orleans. He spent a month trying to find a way from Uptown to Mid-City — and succeeded! On Christmas Day, he found himself lost in Old Metairie, vanished, and reappeared in Harrahan, and then found his way back to Mid-City. He survived thunderstorms and New Years fireworks. Loud noises terrify him. He made it to the start of Mardi Gras season and a Super Bowl."
After his latest rescue, Scrim underwent a veterinary exam and X-rays, and apart from tapeworms and intestinal parasites, he was found to be in "good health," Cheramie said. Once fully recovered, Zeus "has a new home lined up with plenty outdoor space and other dog friends to help him socialize," she added.
Cheramie first saved Scrim in early 2024, but he broke loose in April and managed to stay on the run while still being spotted on local security cameras around the city.
He was later found in October and received medical treatment for his injuries, including two embedded projectiles, likely from a pellet gun, abrasions, and a missing piece of his ear.
Scrim's back-to-back escapes led him to go viral. Dozens of people in New Orleans called in to report Scrim sightings, and a map was even tracking his movements in an effort to catch him.
Zeus' Rescues, in collaboration with community volunteers and Trap Dat Cat, set up food stations and trail cameras to monitor his movements after his November escape, according to CBS affiliate WWL-TV. The runaway dog also seems to have managed to make it through a historic 10 inches of snow in New Orleans in January.

Local officials say ICE ‘loitered near schools' in Ventura County raids
Federal officials confirmed that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids took place in Ventura County on Tuesday. 'FBI Los Angeles and partner agencies conducted immigration enforcement operations in the Ventura County area today in support of ERO Los Angeles,' the agency announced on X. In response, local congressmembers Julia Brownley (D-Ventura County) and Salud Carbajal (D-Santa Barbara/San Luis Obispo counties) released a joint statement, calling the recent immigration sweeps 'cruel,' 'reckless' and 'unconscionable.' 'We have received disturbing reports of ICE enforcement actions in Ventura County, including in Oxnard, Port Hueneme, and Camarillo, where agents have reportedly stopped vehicles, loitered near schools, and attempted to enter agricultural properties and facilities in the Oxnard Plain,' read the statement. 'These actions are completely unjustified, deeply harmful, and raise serious questions about the agency's tactics and its respect for due process.' Out of multiple videos posted on social media earlier in the day, one shared to Instagram by 805 UndocuFund, a nonprofit that helps undocumented residents get short-term financial relief, shows ICE agents questioning a worker with a bright yellow shirt next to the Camarillo fields along Laguna Road. The group is standing next to a black, unmarked vehicle; it is unclear whether the car belonged to the unidentified worker or the federal officers. 'Hola?' the woman filming the interaction asks the group from afar, inquiring in Spanish about what the federal officers are doing with the worker. This purportedly took place at 5:30 a.m. 'Mind your own business,' an ICE officer responds to the woman, telling her to stay back. 'They know their right, they've been here for 30 years, they get it. We're doing our job.' The woman responds, saying, 'We don't want people to be separated from their families—I don't think you get it,' to which the officer replies, 'Are you here legally?' She asks back, 'How are you asking me that right now?' and he responds, 'Because that's my job, I'm an immigration officer. Do you have documents to be here?' When the woman says she doesn't have to answer his question, the ICE agent says, 'Fine, so, leave—you're right.' And then he and the other officers go back to detaining the worker. The Central Coast congressmembers addressed in their statement how immigration officers have recently been targeting open-air workplaces, such as farms, construction sites and service industries. 'ICE should be focused on individuals who pose real threats to public safety, not terrorizing entire communities with broad, unjust sweeps,' their statement said. 'This is not how you keep people safe.' For information on resources and how to respond to ICE raids, click here. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Denver police confront marchers upset with ICE in chaotic exchanges downtown, block group from accessing I-25
Police in Denver responded in full force on Tuesday night to marches downtown after an early evening protest at the Colorado State Capitol. CBS Video captured near the intersection of 20th Street and Little Raven Street in Denver showed a large crowd of demonstrators and smoke just before 10 p.m. At one point in the video, a marcher threw an object that looked to be a pepper ball back at police. At least one person was detained on Tuesday night. Police also blocked the entrance to Interstate 25 at Broadway so marchers couldn't enter, and there was another large police presence at Market Street and 20th. Break-off groups from an earlier peaceful protest against Immigration and Customs Enforcement grew more chaotic as the night went on. Denver police told CBS Colorado rocks and bottles were thrown at officers near Coors Field. Some video was circulating online showing smoke. CBS Colorado contacted police to find out what it was. Their final report is not available so it's not known what was used, but they confirmed to CBS Colorado that no tear gas had been used. Similar confrontations have been happening in several other cities across the country, including Los Angeles. Protests and marches have been going on there for days as demonstrators have been clashing with police. Many protests -- including in Texas, in Chicago, and now in Denver -- have come about in response to the situation in California.
