Wake held for Queens man killed in stray bullet shooting in Puerto Rico
A wake was held Saturday for 25-year-old Kevin Mares, a Queens man who was killed while on vacation in Puerto Rico last weekend. Mares, his girlfriend and two others were on the island for a Bad Bunny concert, then they went to a nightclub in the seaside community of La Perla, known for drugs and violence. Police said early Sunday morning, there was an argument outside the club, and a man pulled out a gun and started firing. Two others were shot, and a stray bullet hit Mares in the stomach. He died from his injuries. Kalel Jorell Martinez Bristol, 37, turned himself in on Friday, according to police. He faces first-degree murder charges and is being held on $800,000 bond. Friends and family poured into Frederick Funeral Home on Saturday to remember Mares. "We are all devastated. It's a big tragedy for all of us, big loss. He was starting his life, 25 years old," said Angel Mares, Kevin Mares' god father. "It's very sad that people, some people come to this world to hurt others. He doesn't even imagine what he has caused to our family," mourner Lilian Saenz-Mares said. Family members are waiting for justice. "We just hope that God forgives him. We will forgive him as well because everyone deserves forgiveness," Saenz-Mares said. Kevin Mares is described as kind-hearted and loyal. He loved cooking, growing vegetables and had a passion for animals. He was studying to be a veterinarian. His neighbor's last memory of him was from a month ago. "He just rescued a kitten where he works, and they were giving him milk," neighbor Alexandria Jaramillo said. As loved ones continue to grieve, we're told he had been thinking about the future with his girlfriend. "He was planning to propose [to] her this fall," Saenz-Mares said. Kevin Mares leaves behind his parents, a 15-year-old brother, and countless friends and family. Another visitation will be held at Frederick Funeral Home on Sunday evening, followed by a Mass on Monday before he is cremated.

Rogan says voters are frustrated because they expected Trump's ICE raids to nab gang members, not landscapers
Joe Rogan claimed on Wednesday that American voters are frustrated because they had hoped ICE raids would only target violent criminals, not laborers. The podcaster warned that ICE, by arresting people whose only crime was immigrating illegally, is alienating the electorate. Rogan, who endorsed Trump on the eve of the 2024 election and interviewed him during the campaign, criticized the president's immigration raids at construction sites and other workplaces during an early July episode of "The Joe Rogan Experience." Now, weeks later, Rogan made a similar critique after Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., argued on his show that recent pop-up riots against ICE have been spurred by Chinese money in an effort to divide Americans, particularly before the midterms. Rogan responded that while that may be true to some degree, there is also some genuine belief the administration has gone too far. Trump Directs Ice To Expand Deportation Efforts In America's Largest Cities "So, I absolutely believe this is true, that I'm sure other countries fund similar things, but also it was a reaction to some of the ICE raids, right?" Rogan said. "It was a visceral reaction that a lot of people had to the idea of people just showing up and pulling people out of schools and pulling people out of Home Depot and pulling people that were just hardworking people that maybe snuck over here because they didn't have a legal way to get over here, but since they've been here, they've been good people and they're a part of communities." The podcast host added further, "That's what freaks people out, because when people thought about ICE, they thought, 'Great, we're going to get rid of the gang members.' They didn't think, 'Great, you're going to get rid of the landscaper.'" Read On The Fox News App "I'm sure some of these riots are manufactured, I'm sure they are," he later added, clarifying he doesn't disagree with Luna's assertions entirely. He also expressed his belief that America absolutely needs to enforce its border to prevent cartel members and other criminals from entering. "But the thing that freaks people out is, like, how many corporations rely on illegal labor?" he asked. Trump 'Working On' Deportation Exemptions For Illegal Farm And Hospitality Workers Click Here For More Coverage Of Media And Culture He also empathized with the perspective of an illegal immigrant. "If you're just a landscaper, you're just a guy who lives in a Third World country and you want a better life, and you say, 'I heard you can get across, and I heard when you get across, you can get work' — like, what is that guy going to do?" Rogan asked. "That guy doesn't have the money to hire a lawyer. How is he gonna prove that he is more valuable than a United States citizen that's already here doing the exact same job?" Luna responded by arguing that both sides want the problem to continue because they benefit from it, a theory that frightened Rogan, who replied, "That's so nuts, and probably so accurate." Trump proposed making exceptions for millions of illegal laborers in various industries in July, while acknowledging this will enrage "radical-right people, who I also happen to like a lot."Original article source: Rogan says voters are frustrated because they expected Trump's ICE raids to nab gang members, not landscapers
