NOFD Deputy Superintendent Roman Nelson said not only were the firefighters who were on the ground on Bourbon Street that day awarded but also the ones who responded to the housefire on Mandeville Street believed to be set by the terrorist.
'In addition to the ones that responded to Bourbon Street, we also had firefighters that extinguished the fire that the bad actor had set on Mandeville Street, and they also located explosive devices and other things that helped this case be wrapped up very quickly and everything be sorted out,' said Nelson.

SLIDELL, La. (WGNO) — A Slidell man pled guilty on June 5 following an investigation into the online sharing of child sexual abuse material. According to the United States Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Louisiana, back in January of 2020, FBI agents began investigating child sexual exploitation material being shared over an instant messaging mobile app, eventually identifying 27-year-old Brock Taylor Guillot as a suspect in the case.

His cell phone was found to have at least one image and 518 videos showing the sexual victimization of children, with some victims thought to have been under 3 years old. Similar content was also found on multiple social media instant messaging accounts.

He faces sentencing of up to 20 years in prison as well as at least 5 years and up to a lifetime of supervised release.

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 in April 2024 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 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. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

House rep eyes border 'safety net' fund as DHS urges Congress for more money
FIRST ON FOX: A new House GOP bill would create a "safety net" of federal funds for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to help in emergency situations. Rep. Michael Rulli, R-Ohio, told Fox News Digital he's introducing a bill to create a Border Enforcement Trust Fund using federal revenues from excise taxes on gambling. The legislation would reroute roughly $300 million per year that's currently going into the U.S. Treasury's general fund through taxes on gambling operations. Musk Does Immediate 180 On Trump As Soon As La Riots Rage He said it would be of use to the Trump administration in situations like it has faced this week, with federal authorities facing off against anti-immigration enforcement rioters in Los Angeles. "In the last 48 hours, we've seen this summer of hate, which we saw several years ago, happening again in Los Angeles, where you have complete anarchy and the burning down of the city itself," Rulli told Fox News Digital in an interview. Read On The Fox News App He argued it could also meet emergency needs for immigration authorities while Congress weighs President Donald Trump's "big, beautiful bill," which includes billions for ICE that the Department of Homeland Security said are sorely needed. "It'd be a shame to take all that money and put it in the general fund, and it would just be lost when we could use it just for our border [needs], which we all saw in this last election is the No. 1 issue in the country," Rulli said. The bill would have long odds of succeeding in the Senate, where at least several Democrats would be needed to reach the upper chamber's 60-vote threshold. It's not likely that Democrats would want to give Trump that kind of power over emergency funding. Dozens Of Anti-ice Rioters Arrested In La As Trump Sends In National Guard To Quell Violence Rulli said he has not encountered any significant opposition among his House colleagues, however. The bill is one of several introduced by House Republicans this week after the riots in Los Angeles and wider anti-ICE protests around the article source: House rep eyes border 'safety net' fund as DHS urges Congress for more money
