Ice arrests Oregon chiropractor as he was dropping off child at preschool
The man, identified by Ice as 38-year-old Iranian citizen Mahdi Khanbabazadeh, was arrested outside Guidepost Montessori school after being stopped by agents en route. An Ice spokesperson said in a statement that Khanbabazadeh entered the country legally but overstayed his visa.
The spokesperson said that after the traffic stop, officers allowed Khanbabazadeh to drive to the school to drop off his child, but there, he 'stopped cooperating, resisted arrest and refused to exit his vehicle'. Officers broke a window during the arrest, and the child was not harmed, according to the spokesperson.
Caroline Medeiros, an immigration attorney whose child attends the same preschool as Khanbabazadeh's, told local news that he was married to a US citizen, worked as a chiropractor and had already applied and interviewed for a green card.
The Guardian contacted Medeiros and has not yet received a response.
In a statement to the Guardian, Angel Ignacio, regional manager at Guidepost Global Education, said the organization was 'deeply disturbed by what took place in our South Beaverton school parking lot 7/15/2025.
'While we are still working to understand the full details of the situation, we can confirm that a law enforcement action occurred during school hours and involved the apprehension of a parent by federal agents. Our first priority is the safety and emotional wellbeing of the children in our care. We are actively supporting the affected child and family, and we are providing our staff and families with resources to help them process this event with care and sensitivity,' Ignacio said.
'We are also reviewing the circumstances surrounding this incident and taking steps to ensure that our campuses remain a safe and secure environment for all members of our school community. Because this involves a federal law enforcement matter and private individuals, we are limited in what we can share further. We ask for compassion and respect for the family's privacy during this difficult time.'
This was the first confirmed federal immigration arrest at an Oregon school, according to local news.
Ice agents have been historically blocked from making arrests at schools, places of worship, hospitals and other sensitive locations, but the Trump administration overturned the policy this year in its widespread crackdown on unlawful immigration.
The administration has said it is focused on removing violent criminals who are in the country unlawfully. However, research by the Cato Institute found that 93% of people arrested by Ice since October 2024 had no violent convictions, and 65% had no criminal convictions at all. Khanbabazadeh appears to have no criminal record.
Randy Kornfield, who was dropping off his four-year-old grandson at the Montessori school during Khanbabazadeh's arrest, told local news he saw officers in police vests and unmarked cars 'laying in wait' for the father and acting in a 'cold and uncaring' manner.
Khanbabazadeh remains in Ice custody pending removal proceedings, according to the agency.

What Trump's 'birthday card' to Epstein said as he threatens to sue WSJ and Rupert Murdoch: Live updates
Donald Trump called on Attorney General Pam Bondi to release 'any and all' grand jury testimony about Jeffrey Epstein 's crimes after The Wall Street Journal published a salacious birthday card the president allegedly sent him in 2003. Trump has furiously denied the allegations published in the WSJ that he took part in a 50th birthday album organized for the disgraced billionaire by his associate Ghislaine Maxwell. The birthday letter included what appears to be Trump's famous signature and the outline of a naked woman allegedly frames typewritten text which reads: 'Happy Birthday - and may every day be another wonderful secret.' According to the Journal, the naked woman appeared to have been hand-drawn with a marker, with a pair of arcs indicating the woman's breasts and a squiggly signature reading 'Donald' appearing in her pubic region, mimicking hair. Trump categorically denied any involvement in the drawing or writing of the text. 'This is not me,' he said. 'This is a fake thing. It's a fake Wall Street Journal story. 'I never wrote a picture in my life. I don't draw pictures of women. It's not my language. It's not my words.' Trump also promised to release the grand jury testimony to spite the media and Democrats who have perpetuated the so-called 'Epstein hoax.' The promise has renewed hope among MAGA loyalists who have been publicly criticizing him and Bondi for failing to deliver on a campaign pledge to release Epstein's client list. The recent MAGA uprising caused Trump to insist he 'doesn't want their support anymore', calling people who believed the Epstein hoax 'weaklings' who had fallen for Democrats' lies. Mike Johnson flips Epstein script on GOP saying Ghislaine Maxwell SHOULD testify and Pam Bondi must release files Top congressional Republican Speaker Mike Johnson has shockingly come out in favor of the Jeffrey Epstein files being released, despite the administration claiming the 'client list' doesn't exist. The Republican shared on a podcast with conservative pundit Benny Johnson that he would like more transparency from the White House surrounding the highly sought after files on the deceased pedophile. Asked if he would support efforts to have Epstein accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell testify before Congress, the speaker said 'I'm for transparency.' He also appeared open to Congress issuing subpoenas to the FBI and Department of Justice to force the agencies to turn over any previously undisclosed files. 'We're intellectually consistent in this... I trust him (Trump). He put together a team of his choosing and they're doing a great job,' the Republican said. 'It's a very delicate subject but we should put everything out there and let the people decide.' 'The White House, and the White House team, are privy to facts that I don't know. I mean this isn't my lane, I haven't been involved in that. But I agree with the sentiment that we need to put it out there.' Mike Johnson flips Epstein script on GOP saying Maxwell SHOULD testify Top congressional Republican Speaker Mike Johnson has shockingly come out in favor of the Jeffrey Epstein files being released, despite the administration claiming the 'client list' doesn't exist. 11:49 Far-right influencer says he won't rest until 'we go full January 6' over Epstein files Last week's two-page statement from the Justice Department and the FBI saying they had concluded Epstein did not have a client list roiled Trump's supporters, who pointed to past statements from several administration officials that the list ought to be revealed. Bondi had suggested in February such a document was sitting on her desk waiting for review, though last week she said she'd been referring generally to the Epstein case file, not a client list. Conservative influencers have since demanded to see all the files related to Epstein's crimes, even as Trump has tried to put the issue to bed. Far-right commentator Jack Posobiec said at Turning Point USA's Student Action Summit on Saturday he wouldn't rest 'until we go full January 6 committee on the Jeffrey Epstein files.' Alan Dershowitz says there is no Epstein client list Jeffrey Epstein's former attorney Alan Dershowitz wrote in an op-ed for the Wall Street Journal that the late child abuser 'never created a client's list.' Dershowitz said the FBI interviewed Epstein victims who named 'clients' whose names have been redacted from the files. 'They should be disclosed but the courts have ordered them sealed,' he wrote. 'I know who they are. They don't include any current officeholders.' Dershowitz also said 'It is clear from the evidence that Epstein committed suicide.' He added: 'What isn't clear is whether he was assisted by jail personnel. That seems likely to me, based on the evidence of allegedly broken cameras, transfer of his cellmate and the absence of guards during relevant time periods.' Dershowitz appeared on NewsNation 's CUOMO on Monday and echoed his claims. 'What there is is a redacted FBI affidavit from accusers,' the attorney told Chris Cuomo. 'There are several of them from accusers that accuse Jeffrey, that accuse various people of having improper sex, and that has been redacted. The names of the people accused have been blacked out.'

Evil mother handcuffed son, 6, then watched on as ferocious pit bull ripped his throat apart ‘like a chew toy'
AN EVIL mother who handcuffed her six-year-old son and watched a pit bull savage him has been jailed for at least 19 years. Angelina Williams, 28, from Ohio, did nothing to help as the dog ripped the boy's throat apart "like a chew toy", a judge said, and claimed she didn't know her actions were illegal. 5 5 Williams was sentenced earlier this month by Ashland County Common Pleas Court Judge Dave Stimpert, who said Williams had punished her son for refusing to pick up dog excrement bare-handed, according to court documents obtained by PEOPLE. The dog belonged to the homeowner, Robert Michalski Jr, and launched a vicious attack when the boy fell from his chair. Williams and Michalski, along with a third defendant Taylor Desiree Marvin-Brown, had been in the process of further tethering the boy to the chair when he fell, prosecutors said last August. It clamped onto the young lad's throat and refused to release him. The boy suffered serious cuts to his neck, as well as heavy bruising to his face. He had to be rushed to hospital by air ambulance for treatment, where concerns for his welfare where raised. Judge Stimpert, sentencing, said: 'That dog tried to rip out his throat. 'I'm not sure that there are words that adequately describe it.' Michalski reportedly fled the scene with the dog after the attack in an attempt to prevent authorities from seizing the animal. Williams pleaded guilty in May to kidnapping, obstruction of justice, possessing criminal tools, and four counts of child endangerment - just days before her trial was set to begin. Two men hacked XL Bully dogs with meat cleaver & knife in horrific attack in Scots street She had been held without bail since her August 2024 arrest and was credited for 361 days already served. Prosecutors revealed that Williams had taken her two children — the six-year-old boy and an eight-year-old daughter — to visit Savannah, a small village in Ohio. During the trip, she started using restraints as a form of punishment - experimenting with handcuffs and tying the children up with ropes. She even posted a photo of her daughter in restraints online. 5 5 Williams did not have legal custody of her son or daughter, and the children were only in her care for a visit at the time of the incident. During an August 2024 court appearance, Williams acknowledged the events that unfolded, but claimed to have been unaware that her actions were wrong. She told the court last year: 'The dog is not even my dog. The cuffs are not even my cuffs. 'I didn't even know the cuffs were illegal or anything was wrong with it. My uncle told me it was OK. 'I never meant any harm, I really didn't." Thankfully, the boy made a full recovery and is now in the care of a legal guardian alongside his sister. The two other defendants, Michalski Jr. and Taylor Marvin-Brown, have also been convicted and are awaiting sentencing later this month. Williams will serve her sentence at the Ohio Reformatory for Women.

TSA issues warning about 'no-gos' for carry-on luggage - despite restrictions being lifted in some airports
TSA has reminded travelers that liquid restrictions are still in place, despite some policies being lifted in recent weeks. The organization issued a warning on X alerting customers that liquids, gels and aerosols must be 3.4oz or less in carry-on bags. This rule means that summertime travelers will not get past security if they pack an extra-large water bottle or sunscreen with them. The reminder comes after TSA ended its nearly 20-year-old 'shoes-off' policy at checkpoints earlier this month. Travelers have been divided over the change, primarily because of their hatred for the liquid limitations after personal experiences. 'TSA steals and ruins what's left of a vacation. I had a jar of honey from France, less than 3.4 oz. You should have seen the agents eyes lite up as she stole my only jar. They laughed and took it home,' an X user claimed. 'I'd rather take my shoes off if it means I can bring the whole bottle of my specialty shampoo in my carry on without having to ration it out on a two week trip,' another person wrote. After years of liquid limit frustration, that rule could soon go away now that the Department of Homeland Security is questioning the limit. The liquid carry-on limits were enforced by TSA in 2006 following a foiled bomb plot in the UK Like the former 'shoes-off' policy, the beverage limits were enforced by TSA in 2006. It was one of several rules created in response to the September 11 attacks. However, the liquid limit was inspired by a 2006 liquid bomb plot in the UK, which put thousands of lives at risk. The foiled plan was for terrorists to place liquid bombs disguised as soft drinks on at least seven transatlantic flights that were set to explode midflight. If the first phase of the plan was a success, they would then initiate attacks on skyscrapers in London's Canary Wharf, the Greenwich foot tunnel, nuclear power stations, oil refineries and gas terminals. The plan was not a success and it led to the arrest of several criminals, many of which were sentenced to life in prison. But the bomb plot was enough for TSA to initiate immediate action, leading to the liquid limit for everything from food and drinks to hair products. While some airports in Europe had scrapped the rule in recent years, they returned last year after new security scanners experienced a 'technical issue.' US secretary of homeland security Kristi Noem is questioning TSA's carry-on liquid rule The carry-on liquid limit is back in limbo in the US due to opinions over the policy from Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem. 'I will tell you, I mean, the liquids [rule] I am questioning,' Noem told NewsNation chief Washington Correspondent Blake Burman at the inaugural Hill Nation Summit. 'So that may be the next big announcement is what size your liquids need to be. We're looking at it.' TSA has already implemented a change for 10 US airport security experiences, which includes the addition of new expedited lanes and discounts to 'enhance the travel experience for members of the U.S. military community.' TSA has also begun offering a $25 discount on TSA PreCheck enrollment for spouses of military and uniformed service members.
