What will the Army 250th birthday parade look like? Here's what we know so far
WASHINGTON - The Army's 250th birthday parade will be hosted in the nation's capital this weekend, and it's expected to bring massive crowds of people to D.C., along with heightened security. The event coincides with the 79th birthday of President Donald Trump. Army officials estimate that around 200,000 people will attend the evening event. What we know The parade will go down Constitution Avenue, from 23rd Street to 15th Street, starting at 6:30 p.m. on Saturday. Fencing is up, and this is just the start of the security measures. "We're preparing for an enormous turnout," U.S. Secret Service Special Agent In Charge Matt McCool said. While Secret Service officials say they're expecting potentially hundreds of thousands of people, that's not all — SkyFox captured video over Jessup, Md., showing tanks headed to the nation's capital as well. The military parade has been designated a National Special Security Event — similar to a presidential inauguration or state funeral. That status is reserved for events that draw large crowds and potential mass protests. It calls for an enhanced degree of high-level coordination among D.C. officials, the FBI, Capitol Police and Washington's National Guard contingent — with the Secret Service taking the lead. The Army birthday celebration had already been planned for months but earlier this spring, Trump announced his intention to transform the event into a massive military parade complete with 60-ton M1 Abrams battle tanks and Paladin self-propelled howitzers rolling through the city streets. What they're saying "I cannot emphasize enough, your safety remains our number one priority," D.C. Police Chief Pamela Smith said. Still, there are some security concerns. Just this past weekend, the day the WorldPride parade took place in D.C., police responded to a shooting and a double stabbing at Dupont Circle. Meanwhile, in Los Angeles, there's been widespread unrest and violence as thousands have been on the streets to protest federal immigration crackdowns. "We are paying attention obviously to what is happening there, and we will be ready for that if it were to occur here," Special Agent McCool said. Agent Phillip Bates of the FBI's Washington Field office, which is tasked with counterterrorism and crisis management, said there were "no credible threats" to the event at the moment. Although federal, state, and local officials said Monday that they're not expecting it, their preparations include nearly 19 miles of anti-scale fencing, 17 miles of bike racks and concrete barriers, 175 magnetometers, officers from multiple agencies and drones. "Rest assured, all drones will be owned and operated by the Secret Service or our partners. So, please do not be alarmed," McCool said. What they're saying As for whether people who live in D.C. feel safe, some said yes. "I don't have any concern about safety, you know?" Northwest D.C. resident Onur told FOX 5. But others say they have some worries. "It seems kind of odd that they put up this 10 foot security fence all around if they don't expect something to happen or some kind of unrest or something," Joe Harper, Jr., said. There are also concerns regarding traffic and potential road damage if you've got all of those tanks down here.

L.A. protester, 40, wanted by FBI for assault on federal officer identified
Investigators have identified a man placed on the FBI's Most Wanted list after he reportedly assaulted a federal officer during protests that turned violent Saturday in Los Angeles County. Federal officials allege 40-year-old Compton resident Elpidio Reyna 'injured a federal officer' and damaged government property while throwing rocks at law enforcement at around 3:30 p.m. in the 6400 block of Alondra Boulevard in Paramount on June 7. Protesting an ICE raid that occurred in the city, the demonstrations grew violent as the afternoon wore on. 'As deputies arrived, it appeared that federal law enforcement officers were in the area, and that members of the public were gathering to protest,' LASD said. Authorities did not provide any information on the extent of the officer's injuries, nor did they say how much damage was caused to federal vehicles. L.A. driver goes on high-speed rampage amid violent downtown protests In photos of Reyna released by federal authorities, the 40-year-old is seen wearing a Lakers hat with a mask covering much of his face. He is also seen wearing what appears to be a motorcross helmet, holding what appears to be a Mexican flag and, in another photo, tossing items on an improvised bonfire in the middle of the roadway. In video of the incident, the 40-year-old is reportedly seen on the side of the street launching something as passing federal vehicles. 'Elpidio Reyna can, but he can't hide,' U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli said in a post to X. 'He threw rocks at federal officers leaving a command post, a brazen attack caught on film and that could have resulted in deaths.' Authorities say Reyna should be 'considered armed and dangerous' and are offering up to a $50,000 reward for information leading to his arrest and conviction. Anyone with information on this case is asked to contact the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI (1-800-225-5324). To remain anonymous, submit a tip online at Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Nassau Dems want FBI to dig into NUMC chairman's firing and shady document theft: ‘Smells like a cover-up'
Nassau Democrats are calling on the FBI to probe what they're claiming is a 'cover up' surrounding the sudden firing of the county's top hospital official after documents tied to a federal investigation were stolen from his home. In a new letter to FBI Director Kash Patel, Nassau Democrats are urging the agency to investigate Republican County Executive Bruce Blakeman's unexpected ousting of Nassau University Medical Center chair Matthew Bruderman — who was booted from his post in April just hours after someone broke into his home and stole a batch of files. 'We're laying out and raising questions that no reasonable government would ignore,' Minority Leader Delia DeRiggi-Whitton told reporters Monday at a press conference in Mineola. 'We want the truth, and we want it now,' she said, calling on the FBI to uncover whether Bruderman's dismissal was politically motivated. At the time of the firing — four hours after The Post broke the news of the burglary — Blakeman declined to explain his reasoning for removing Bruderman, but is now denying that the break-in had anything to do with it. 'Matt Bruderman did an outstanding job of reducing the hospital's deficit by $120 million and the County Executive replaced him with Health Commissioner Dr. Irina Gelman,' Chris Boyle, a Blakeman spokesperson, told The Post, 'primarily because he felt that the leadership should shift from concentrating on financial issues to medical and patient care issues to which Dr. Gelman was eminently qualified.' County Legislator Seth Koslow, a former prosecutor who is challenging Blakeman in November, isn't buying his explanation — likening the county executive's actions to 'obstruction 101.' 'As a former prosecutor, something doesn't add up,' said Koslow, a Democrat. 'Whichever way you slice it, this smells like a cover-up and the public deserves an explanation.' Dems also said they submitted a Freedom of Information of Law request for the since-recovered documents stolen from Bruderman's Oyster Bay home — not knowing what they may reveal. Those documents are tied to an FBI investigation, according to Long Island pols, into allegations that state and local officials diverted more than $1 billion in federal hospital funds over decades as part of a scheme to financially cripple NUMC and pave the way for its closure. The FBI declined to confirm that investigation. Meanwhile, Nassau County police has since taken over the April burglary from Center Island PD but declined to comment since the case remains part of an ongoing investigation. Bruderman did not immediately respond to a request for comment. At the time of his firing, Bruderman told The Post he was used as a political pawn, alleging that Blakeman orchestrated a backroom deal, although he did not offer specifics. The FBI did not respond to The Post's request for comment.
