Bad actors in LA protests a ‘good thing' for Trump's immigration agenda: Chuck Rocha
Protests in Los Angeles and other cities continue as citizens protest ICE raids taking place in their communities. Democratic strategist Chuck Rocha encourages Americans to protest if they have disagreements with the government but cautions against bad actors who cause destruction and violence, saying, 'Those are the imagery Donald Trump wants to see … because it's a good thing for him.' Rocha talks about how President Trump campaigned on immigration, which he says is a key reason Trump was reelected. Rocha believes Democrats have a hard time sticking to core values and need to return to those if they want to win elections. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Chris Cuomo: ICE protests happening across US aren't really about ICE
Are the protests happening across the United States over ICE raids really about immigration issues? Chris Cuomo doesn't think that's the full story. Instead, he suggests they're a coordinated effort to recruit as many people and different types of groups with different ideas, but one common goal — to destroy the country. Cuomo says the protests are fed by dark sources with a desire for the destruction of the U.S. He dives into how deep the backing for these protests go and potential ties to a Chinese communist group.

Scheffler primed to win first U.S. Open
OAKMONT, Pa (WKBN) – Scottie Scheffler is currently ranked number one according to the Official World Golf Rankings and has his eyes on the 125th U.S. Open Golf Championship at Oakmont Country Club next. Watch above for an interview with Scheffler and highlights from his practice rounds! 'I remember coming here and thinking that was really fun, really cool to be playing the U.S. Open,' said Scheffler. 'It's my first major and was maybe my third start on the pro tour at the time, those are very cool experiences.' Scheffler's best performance at the U.S. Open came in 2022 as he tied for 2nd with Will Zalatoris. 'This golf course, there's not many trees out there, but there's so many bunkers,' said Scheffler. 'I don't really know if there's a golf course you can necessarily just overpower with kind of a bomb and gouge type of strategy, especially with the way the rough is. You have to play the angles.' The 125th U.S. Open is Scheffler's seventh time playing the tournament. Scheffler first qualified for the tournament in 2016 and was a low amateur in 2017. 'This is probably the hardest golf course that we'll play, maybe ever, and I mean, that's pretty much all it is,' said Scheffler. The World No. 1 ranked golfer already has won three tournaments in 2025. His wins this year include the 2025 PGA Championship in May at Quail Hollow Club. 'I'm going to try to hit the green, whether it's a three-order driver from that back tee, it depends on wind direction, but basically you're going to try to get the ball in the green and two putt,' said Scheffler. Scheffler tees off on hole one at 1:25 p.m. Thursday, June 12. Interviews courtesy of Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
