Atlantic City mayor wins primary under shadow of assault charges
Atlantic City Mayor Marty Small Sr., who is under criminal indictment, has fended off a primary challenge to win the Democratic nomination for a second term, Decision Desk HQ projects. Small defeated Bob McDevitt, a former longtime head of a casino workers union. He will face Republican Nadeem Ahmed Khan, who ran unopposed in the GOP primary, in the general election. Small first became mayor in 2019 after his predecessor, Frank Gillam (D), resigned from office after pleading guilty to charges of wire fraud. He won a full term in 2021 but is facing his own criminal charges as he faces the voters for reelection. Small and his wife, Atlantic City School District Superintendent La'Quetta Small, were charged last April on allegations that they physically and emotionally abused their teenage daughter. Prosecutors allege that on one occasion Small hit his daughter on the head with a broom multiple times and caused her to lose consciousness, among other incidents. He was also later charged on a count of witness tampering after prosecutors said he told his daughter to change her story to law enforcement about the alleged abuse. Small and his wife have denied the charges and pleaded not guilty. Ahead of the primary, Small had said he didn't believe the charges would be an issue for voters, telling the Philadelphia-based NBC10 that 'the voters know who I am.' Issues of public safety and the city's cleanliness took center stage in the race, with Small pointing to the city's reduction in crime. McDevitt argued that people still feel fear of being victims of crime. Atlantic City has mostly elected Democrats as mayors for decades. The one recent exception was Republican Don Guardian's victory in 2013.

A Spirit Airlines passenger called in a bomb hoax on a flight he'd just missed to try to delay it taking off, affidavit says
A 23-year-old has been arrested on suspicion of calling in a bomb hoax after missing his Spirit Airlines flight, the Justice Department said Friday. According to an affidavit signed by an FBI special agent, John Charles Robinson was supposed to board Flight 2145 from Detroit Metropolitan Airport to Los Angeles International last Thursday. About 35 minutes before the flight was scheduled to depart, Spirit received a phone call warning about a bomb, it says. The affidavit accuses Robinson of saying, "There's gonna be someone that's gonna try to blow up that flight, 2145." It adds that he also said: "They said it's not going to be able to be detected. Please don't let that flight board." Law enforcement then went to the gate, where the plane doors had to be reopened, and everyone deboarded before bomb-sniffing dogs and FBI bomb technicians swept the aircraft. Passengers went through additional screening, and several of them were interviewed, while telecom company Charter Communications traced the phone call, the affidavit says. After no bombs were found, the flight took off six hours late. Charter Communications said that the call came from Robinson's phone, while law enforcement found that he was booked on Flight 2145, the affidavit says. It adds that Robinson was told at the gate that he had missed the flight, and was rebooked onto a different flight scheduled that evening. Law enforcement approached Robinson when he arrived at Detroit Metropolitan Airport for his new flight, and he initially denied making any phone calls to Spirit, per the affidavit. However, it adds that law enforcement then searched the call log on his phone, and he said he had made the call warning of a bomb threat. "Robinson stated that he made the call with the hope that it would delay the flight long enough for him to make it in time so he would not have to take a different flight," the affidavit says. He was charged with one count of using a cellphone to convey false information about an attempt to damage or destroy an aircraft with an explosive, and one count of false information and hoaxes. The two charges carry a maximum combined sentence of 15 years if Robinson is found guilty. According to court documents seen by Business Insider, he was released on a $10,000 bond. Robinson's next court appearance is scheduled for June 27. "No American wants to hear the words 'bomb' and 'airplane' in the same sentence," said Jerome F. Gorgon, Jr., US Attorney from the Eastern District of Michigan. "Making this kind of threat undermines our collective sense of security and wastes valuable law enforcement resources."

ICE Detains Heavily Pregnant US Citizen—'Shield My Stomach'
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. A woman who is nine months pregnant was detained by federal immigration authorities, despite being a U.S. citizen. Cary López Alvarado was apprehended by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents on June 8, one week before her due date, in Hawthorne, Los Angeles County, California. "They started grabbing me from both sides, and I ducked down to sort of shield my stomach because I was afraid they were going to hurt me," López Alvarado told Telemundo 52. "I told them it [her due date] was June 17, and they said, 'OK, your baby is going to be born here, but you're from Mexico, right?' And I told them no." She said agents detained her on allegations of obstructing the arrest of her undocumented husband. Newsweek contacted ICE and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for comment outside of office hours on Wednesday. Border Patrol agents marked in U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) vehicles had been following a white pickup carrying two undocumented immigrants, including López Alvarado's partner, NBC Los Angeles reported. Speaking from a hospital bed on Monday, she told the outlet: "I had lost my balance because he was kind of shoving me away from the door. That's when I kind of leaned forward, trying to protect the stomach." "I wasn't resisting or anything," she added. "I can't fight back; I'm pregnant." López Alvarado said she began experiencing sharp abdominal pain after her release on Sunday, and was subsequently hospitalized. Doctors are closely monitoring both her and her baby, NBC Los Angeles reported. The detention comes amid a crackdown on immigration by the Trump administration, which has made enforcement operations a top priority. Trump has vowed to carry out what he calls the largest mass deportation effort in United States history, enforcing stricter border controls, shutting down asylum and ramping up ICE arrests across the country. The administration is facing increasing pushback from pockets of resistance over the GOP's flagship mass removal policy. This is a breaking news story. Updates to follow.
