Trump news at a glance: government ‘dragnet' widens as undocumented farm workers targeted in fresh raids
With limited access to immigrants in detention, US attorneys are scrambling to understand the scope of California's immigration raids, and the extent to which the Department of Homeland Security has violated immigrants' rights. Immigration lawyers have said some detainees – including families with small children – were held in a stuffy office basement for days without sufficient food and water. Elsewhere, US immigration officials carried out further 'enforcement activity' in California's agricultural heartland, with one advocacy group saying agents pursued workers through blueberry fields. The raids have sparked ongoing protests in Los Angeles and led to demonstrations in other cities across the country.

Agents told the family they did not have any water to provide during the family's first day in detention; on the second day, all five were given a single bottle to share. The one fan in the room was pointed directly towards a guard, rather than towards the families in confinement, they told lawyers.

Kentucky Bigfoot calling contest is a scream
STANTON, Ky. (FOX 56) — Music, food, and crafts at a recent festival in Stanton brought people out of the woodwork. It was also hoped the event would bring a creature out of the woods. 'If you talk about Bigfoot in certain circles, you're going to get laughed at,' said Steve Lindsey, one of the hosts of the Kentucky-based 'News Worthy??' podcast. 'Everybody is either here because they believe or they want to believe.' Kentucky Bigfoot calling contest is a scream Louisville's Cave Hill Cemetery: A final resting place full of history and mystery A ferry is still a loved way to cross the Kentucky River The first-ever Bigfoot Festival celebrated that there have been dozens of reports of the legendary creature in the nearby Red River Gorge. The cryptid would have been welcome at the festival, so much so that dozens of people lined up to call for him in a contest that was a real scream. No words can describe the variety of yells, whoops, and whistles performed by the crowd. Charlie Raymond, founder of the Kentucky Bigfoot Research Organization, leads local hunts for the creature. He was the perfect person to judge the contest, because he believes he's heard the real thing. 'You could tell some of them have done their homework,' he said. He said whoops and guttural growls are closer to the real thing.

The crowd in the audience roared in approval. 'I can do long laughs and stuff and make a bunch of weird noises, so I just kind of knew what I would do,' Tennison said. Bigfoot didn't answer the call at this festival, but the creature sure has a fan club in these parts. You have to believe that if he ever comes out of hiding, he'd want to make tracks here. 'We were taken aback by how many people were excited about Bigfoot and Bigfoot calling. It was a successful event,' Raymond said. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
