Photos of street protests as Turkey detains 120 opposition officials
Officials from CHP-controlled municipalities in Istanbul and elsewhere have faced waves of arrests this year over allegations of corruption.
The opposition claims the arrests are politically motivated, but President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's government insists the courts are impartial and free from political involvement.
The crackdown comes a year after the CHP made significant gains in local elections.

CHP officer dies on duty after suddenly losing control of cruiser, smashing into tree
CHP Officer Miguel Cano was on duty in the wee hours of Wednesday morning. He and his partner were en route from an arrest, taking a DUI suspect to the West L.A. CHP Office, which was a few blocks away. But Cano didn't make it. Moments after telling his partner that he didn't feel well, he lost control of his patrol cruiser and smashed into a tree in Culver City. He was killed. His partner and the suspect they were transporting were injured. 'We are devastated by the loss of Officer Cano, who gave his life while serving the people of California,' said California Highway Patrol Commissioner Sean Duryee in a statement. 'His dedication, courage and commitment to public safety will never be forgotten. We stand with his family and our CHP family during this incredibly difficult time.' It was not immediately clear what caused the crash and what medical emergency Cano experienced. Duryee said the officer did not have any known health issues. Cano, a 34-year-old from Moreno Valley, had been driving south on Bristol Parkway, north of Green Valley Circle at 12:28 a.m. Wednesday, alongside his partner, who was not immediately identified. They had taken into a custody a person allegedly in possession of a firearm, possible cocaine and drug paraphernalia. They feared the suspect could be OD'ing. Cano administered Narcan as a precaution. Then the partners were headed back to the office when Cano said he didn't feel well, Duryee said. Their vehicle went off the roadway and struck a tree. Cano was rushed to UCLA Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead around 1:40 a.m. On Wednesday morning, a solemn cadre of Cano's fellow officers took part in a procession as the body was transported to the medical examiner's office. Cano's partner sustained minor injuries and was treated at the scene, the CHP said. The person in custody was transported to Cedars-Sinai in Marina Del Rey by the Culver City Fire Department. Duryee said their injuries were not severe. The department's accident investigation team is leading an investigation into the incident, the CHP said. But investigators have already ruled out a possible exposure to drugs. 'We do not think this was an exposure to drugs,' Duryee said. 'The other officer and the subject did not experience any signs or symptoms related to that.' Cano, who graduated from the CHP Academy in November 2023, is survived by his wife and parents. California Gov. Gavin Newsom said in a statement that Cano's 'passing is a heartbreaking loss for the state and the California Highway Patrol.' The governor noted that this was the first line-of-duty death for the CHP since 2020 and that flags at the State Capitol would be flown at half-staff.

Bush teams up with notorious Trump foes to trash 'colossal mistake' shuttering USAID
Former President George W. Bush joined up with former President Barack Obama and U2 singer Bono to comfort United States Agency for International Development employees Monday, while also taking shots at President Donald Trump and his administration for shuttering the agency plagued by accusations of fraud and abuse. "Gutting USAID is a travesty, and it's a tragedy," Obama said in a video that was shown to departing USAID employees Monday, according to the Associated Press. "Because it's some of the most important work happening anywhere in the world." Obama summed up the decision to shutter the agency as "a colossal mistake," and added that "sooner or later, leaders on both sides of the aisle will realize how much you are needed." Bush, Obama and Bono spoke to departing USAID employees Monday in a videoconference as the agency officially was shuttered following the Trump administration's reporting that it was overrun with alleged corruption and mismanagement. The videoconference did not include members of the media, with the Associated Press reviewing and reporting on clips of the conference later that day. USAID is an independent U.S. agency that was established under the Kennedy administration to administer economic aid to foreign nations. It was one of the first agencies investigated by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) in early February for alleged mismanagement and government overspending, with DOGE's then-leader Elon Musk slamming the agency as "a viper's nest of radical-left marxists who hate America." USAID officially was absorbed by the State Department Tuesday. Bush, who overwhelmingly has shied away from publicly criticizing Trump, lamented in his recorded message to the staffers that the end of USAID marks an end to his administration's work rolling out an AIDS and HIV program that is credited with saving 25 million people nationwide. "You've showed the great strength of America through your work — and that is your good heart,'' Bush told USAID staffers, according to the Associated Press. "Is it in our national interests that 25 million people who would have died now live? I think it is, and so do you." Bono of U2 fame recited a poem he wrote reflecting on USAID's closure and his claims that millions around the world will likely now die, according to the Associated Press. "They called you crooks. When you were the best of us," Bono said. Fox News Digital reached out to Obama's and Bush's respective offices Wednesday morning for additional comment, but did not receive responses. Other longtime Trump foes, such as former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, thanked foreign service officers for their work before USAID's closure. "In all my years of service, I found that foreign service officers and development professionals were among the most dedicated public servants I encountered," Clinton posted to X Tuesday. "Their work saves lives and makes the world safer. Today, and every day, I stand with them." Obama and Bush overwhelmingly have remained tight-lipped on their views of Trump under his second administration, with both former presidents attending Trump's inauguration and not weighing in on the majority of Trump's policies. Obama has taken issue with Trump's "big, beautiful bill," which is clearing its final hurdles to passage and will fund Trump's agenda on social media, while Bush has consistently shied away from public rebukes of Trump in recent history. Bono previously has claimed that cuts to USAID would kill hundreds of thousands of people, and had slammed Trump in 2016 as "potentially the worst idea that ever happened to America." Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who was serving as acting administrator of USAID, announced the State Department absorbed USAID's foreign assistance programs Tuesday after decades of failing to ensure the programs it funded actually supported America's interests. "Beyond creating a globe-spanning NGO industrial complex at taxpayer expense, USAID has little to show since the end of the Cold War," Rubio wrote in his announcement. "Development objectives have rarely been met, instability has often worsened, and anti-American sentiment has only grown." "This era of government-sanctioned inefficiency has officially come to an end," he continued. "Under the Trump Administration, we will finally have a foreign funding mission in America that prioritizes our national interests. As of July 1st, USAID will officially cease to implement foreign assistance. Foreign assistance programs that align with administration policies—and which advance American interests—will be administered by the State Department, where they will be delivered with more accountability, strategy, and efficiency." The shuttering comes after DOGE gutted USAID as part of Trump's effort to remove waste, fraud and abuse from the federal government earlier in 2025. Trump repeatedly had touted DOGE's work uncovering fraud and mismanagement within the federal government, including in his March address before Congress celebrating that DOGE identified $22 billion in government "waste," including at USAID. "Forty-five million dollars for diversity, equity and inclusion scholarships in Burma," Trump said as he rattled off various examples of federal waste. "Forty million to improve the social and economic inclusion of sedentary migrants. Nobody knows what that is. Eight million to promote LGBTQI+ in the African nation of Lesotho, which nobody has ever heard of. Sixty million dollars for indigenous peoples and Afro-Colombian empowerment in Central America. Sixty million. Eight million for making mice transgender."

CHP officer dies after medical incident leads to single-car line-of-duty crash
An officer with the California Highway Patrol died Wednesday after suffering from a medical emergency following an arrest in Culver City, authorities said, leading to a single-car crash. CHP Commissioner Sean Duryee announced during a news conference that Officer Miguel Cano, 34, of Moreno Valley, was pronounced dead at about 1:40 a.m. His cause of death is still unclear as of Wednesday morning. "We do not think the crash was consistent with fatal injuries," Duryee said. Miguel Cano, 34 of Moreno Valley, died after experiencing a medical emergency while behind the wheel of a CHP vehicle, leading to a crash on Wednesday, July 2, 2025. California Highway Patrol Duryee said he and his partner arrested a person on suspicion of DUI and were transporting them when Cano told his partner that he wasn't feeling well. His partner responded by saying that he didn't look well, and Cano lost consciousness soon after. After losing consciousness, Cano crashed the vehicle carrying his partner and the suspect into a tree, Duryee confirmed. At the scene, first responders administered Narcan on Cano as a precaution, Duryee said. He added that it's not believed that Cano's death was related to potential exposure to drugs. A CHP officer died following a single-car crash in Culver City just after midnight Wednesday morning. A firearm, a substance that appeared to be cocaine and drug paraphernalia were found in the suspect's vehicle after the arrest. No additional information relating to Cano's death was immediately made available. Duryee said Cano was married and was with the CHP for two years, having graduated from the academy in the fall of 2023. "This young man, he's a hero," Druyee said. "He's out there doing what we ask these officers to do." The Culver City Police Department said the crash occurred at about 12:30 a.m. in the area of Green Valley Circle and Bristol Parkway. The CHP initially described the incident as a single-car crash that injured three. The other two, including Cano's partner, suffered minor injuries. Images from the scene show an SUV with CHP markings with damage to the front. The SUV was off of the main road and on a dirt patch near several trees; it wasn't clear as of 6 a.m. whether the vehicle collided with a tree. Authorities asked the public to avoid the area between Green Valley Circle to Uplander Way as investigations played out. All roads were reopened by 10 a.m.
