Protester in anti-ICE t-shirt is arrested by agents 'for spitting on border patrol officer'
A popular tattoo artist wearing an anti-ICE shirt was arrested by Border Patrol agents after allegedly spitting at them. Matthew Munoz was grabbed by officers while inside a tattoo parlor in downtown Los Angeles, California, on Tuesday. His t-shirt - which he sells for $60 - showed an icy skeleton wearing an ICE helmet with a prohibition sign over the top of it, as he was frog marched from the building. Sources told Fox11 that Munoz has previously been arrested over a dozen times, including for violent offenses. Most recently, he was accused of spitting on a Border Patrol agent that was taking part in an immigration enforcement operation in Los Angeles last month. Assistant Chief David Kim from U.S. Border Patrol's El Centro Sector said: 'We are trying to go in very quick, take the subject there, and get him out of here. 'There's a lot of people here, in the so-called sanctuary of California, that maybe are used to softer on crime policies. 'When you see us out there, you're not going to be dealing with a soft on crime approach. You're going to be dealing with the full consequences of your actions.' Matthew Munoz, seen here after his arrest, was detained by officers on Tuesday following a raid on a tattoo parlor in Los Angeles Following his arrest, Munoz was seen being taken inside a facility by the officer that he is alleged to have spat on. Agents placed what looks a clear spit hood over his head. Munoz goes by the name 'downtownmac' on his social media, with a short clip shared on Tuesday morning showing the anti-ICE t-shirt he was wearing being printed. An online storefront, which uses a picture of Munoz being arrested in the shirt to promote the item, is flogging the shirt for $60. Assistant Chief Kim added: 'You can rest assured if you're not taken into custody right when it happens, we will find you.' Daily Mail has approached ICE for further details on the arrest of Munoz. Los Angeles had plunged into chaos last month after protestors took to the streets over ICE operations in the city. Rioters protesting President Trump's immigration crackdown set cars alight, looted businesses and brought the city to a standstill. The t-shirt he was wearing during his arrest is now being sold for $60 online One protestor was filmed hurling cinder blocks at law enforcement vehicles during the riots. Elpidio Reyna was later identified by officials who accused the 39-year-old of being responsible for throwing the blocks. The FBI said last week that he was taken into custody at the US-Mexican border after he negotiated his surrender. According to ABC7 he fled to Mexico after the alleged attack, he is accused of injuring a federal official while also damaging the vehicles. Acting US Attorney Bill Essayli posted on X after his arrest saying: 'To anyone who thinks they can attack federal officers and hide behind a mask or helmet, Reyna's arrest today proves we can find and charge anyone who violates federal law. Don't touch our officers.'

Slain Ohio police officer honored with Purple Heart and Medal of Honor during memorial service
Rows of uniformed law enforcement and a crowd of other mourners honored a slain Ohio police officer during a public memorial at a Cleveland arena on Wednesday, a week after authorities say a shooter lying in wait ambushed him and another officer as they parked to eat lunch in a remote area. Before the service, a funeral procession for Lorain Police Officer Phillip C. Wagner, 35, rolled from a funeral home in North Ridgeville into downtown Cleveland and to Rocket Arena, where the NBA 's Cavaliers play. Members of the community and Ohio law enforcement agencies lined streets along the procession route to pay their respects, waving American flags as a S.W.A.T. vehicle transporting Wagner's body passed. The shooting wounded the officer who was with Wagner and another officer who responded to their call for help. The 28-year-old shooter was killed, and police have not shared details on any motive. During the memorial, fellow officers spoke about Wagner's courage and dedication to a packed arena. 'Your presence says everything about the man we're here to remember, a hero, a husband, a father, a friend,' said Lorain police Officer Matt Hartman. Wagner was posthumously awarded the Purple Heart and Medal of Honor by Lorain Police Chief Michael Failing at the service. Mayor Jack Bradley declared July 24 as Officer Phillip Wagner Day in the city of Lorain. To close the service, a final radio call was read over the loudspeaker: 'Thank you for your service. Godspeed, sir. We have the watch from here. ... 4178 is out of service.'

Hot sex with my bad girl ex-girlfriend is irresistible – even though she tried to ruin my life
DEAR DEIDRE: MY 'bad girl' ex is serious trouble yet I can't keep away, even though she tried to ruin my life. She's so incredible in bed that when she says 'jump' I can't help but come running. We found each other on a dating site and I was instantly attracted to her. She was gorgeous and very naughty in her messages. She was also potty-mouthed and her relationship track record was patchy, but that didn't put me off. I'm 42 and she's 30. When I met her, I was going through a difficult divorce and struggling to get access to my eight-year-old son. Living alone for the first time in my adult life, I was lonely. We met in a bar one night and went back to my flat after just one drink. The sex was out of this world. I can't tell you what she did to me, but no other woman has ever made me feel that way. We started seeing each other regularly, and it soon became clear that she was insanely jealous. When she found out I was innocently messaging an ex — a woman I went out with at school and now have a platonic friendship with — she lost it. She then sent a long message to my ex-wife, including telling her what we did in bed. And then she went to the police and accused me of emotional abuse. Thankfully, they saw through her crazy stories. They told me to stay away from her — especially as I was trying to get legal rights to see my son. Understanding the impact of ghosting I've tried a few times, but can't. She tells me how sorry she is and keeps luring me back into bed. I know she's bad news and that I should block her, but I'm not sure if I can keep away for long. DEIDRE SAYS: This woman is clearly not stable. She may be incredible in bed, but she's also incredibly bad news. She's tried to ruin your life once. Next time she might succeed. If you can't keep away from her for your own sake, then do it for your son. Listen to the brain in your head, not the one in your trousers, and tell yourself that no sexual experience is worth a police record and estrangement from your child. Only you can find the willpower to end this relationship. So you need to dig deep and stay away from her. If she then won't leave you alone, you can contact (0808 802 0300). MY FRIEND IS INCAPABLE OF SPEAKING FOR HERSELF DEAR DEIDRE: MY friend treats me like I'm a ventriloquist and she is the dummy – and it really gets on my nerves. She always expects me to do all the talking for her when we're out in public, and I'm sick of it. I'm 27 and she is 25. We have been friends for two years. She is a good mate, but her reliance on me to speak for her, as if she is not capable herself, irritates me so much. If we are in a restaurant and the waiter comes over, I always have to order for her. If a stranger starts up a conversation, she doesn't answer, but looks over to me to speak instead, even if the person spoke directly to her. Sometimes, I wonder how she copes when she goes somewhere, and I'm not with her. I know I need to say something but I don't know how to go about it without hurting her feelings. DEIDRE SAYS: Your friend sounds painfully shy and lacking in confidence. But I can see why this annoys you. You do need to say something, before this ruins your friendship entirely. Next time you see her, gently explain how you feel. Rather than telling her off, or accusing her, which will make her defensive, say you feel uncomfortable talking for her and would love to see her speak for herself. If she is just shy, perhaps ask if you can help her practise talking to people. My support pack, Standing Up For Yourself, should help you. DEAR DEIDRE: A DECADE ago, personal circumstances led me to ghost a man who I have now realised was perfect for me. Lately, the thought that I threw away my one chance of true love is stopping me from sleeping. I'm a 48-year-old single woman. Ten years ago, I met a man online, who is a year younger than me. We got on like a house on fire, had lots in common and he made me laugh. He was also kind, caring and genuinely wanted a relationship. But after a few weeks of talking, I lost my job and then my father died. I was in no state to date, so I deleted my profile – along with our potential relationship. When I went back online a few months later, his profile had disappeared. I had no way to get in touch. I haven't met anyone as lovely as him since and I can't help thinking what might have been. Should I try to track him down and tell him how I feel? DEIDRE SAYS: He's 'the one that got away'. In your head, he is perfect, but you never really got to know him. Ten years is a long time. If you track him down, there is a good chance he won't still single. After being ghosted, he might find it odd that you have contacted him now. Perhaps it is better to try to find someone new. My support pack, Finding The Right Partner For You, may help. HELP ME LEAVE RACIST HUSBAND DEAR DEIDRE: AFTER 30 years of marriage to a racist who won't even let our mixed-race grandchildren visit, I have had enough. I have realised he has ruined my whole life. I want to leave him but I'm scared of being alone, and don't know how to tell him. I'm 54 and have three children with this man, who is 60. He has always made racist remarks. He complains about immigrants and mutters under his breath when black people pass him in the street. Although I hate his attitudes, I have put up with them because he was a decent husband. But when my son fell in love with a black woman, my husband said he was dead to him. He hasn't spoken to him since. He won't let our son, daughter-in-law or grandchildren visit. If I want to see them, I have to go to their place. Our other children, who have white partners, are welcome to come whenever they like. But I love my children equally. I have begged and pleaded with him to change his mind, but he won't. He says he can't forgive our son. Any love I had for him has gone. Now I hate him for breaking up our family. How can I leave him? DEIDRE SAYS: As you have finally accepted, your husband is not going to change his obnoxious racist views, even if it hurts you and means missing out on his relationship with his son and grandchildren. Perhaps if you make it clear to him you will end your marriage unless he accepts his whole family, he will reconsider. But if he won't, then walking away is the best thing you can do. It won't be easy, but you will be happier in the long run. My support packs, Thinking Of Divorce and Ending A Relationship have lots of information and links that will help you to do this. Lean on your children and friends for support.
