Bible group called 911 about man, later arrested in ramming of Vancouver arena

VANCOUVER - Vancouver police say the suspect in a vehicle ramming at the Pacific Coliseum Thursday night had been the subject of a 911 call earlier that day from a Bible study group. Sgt. Steve Addison says the man was reportedly acting erratically at the church, but he left before officers encountered him. Addison says the 30-year-old Vancouver man had no prior interactions with local authorities on either criminal or mental health grounds. The man was detained after a BMW sedan crashed into the Pacific Coliseum in East Vancouver during a Cirque du Soleil show at around 8 p.m. Thursday. No one was injured in the incident, with Addison calling it a 'miracle' given the number of people inside and outside the arena at the time. Addison says the man is being held under the Mental Health Act and it's believed he was suffering a 'significant' crisis when the ramming happened. Police are not identifying him because he has not been criminally charged. The incident came 40 days after the Lapu Lapu Day Festival attack, also in East Vancouver, where an SUV plowed through a crowd and killed 11 while injuring scores of others. Addison said there was no evidence the latest ramming was linked to terrorism or copied the Lapu Lapu festival attack, but police understand that the public may be fearful given similarities between the two incidents. He said that is why police are ensuring safety at events this weekend' — including the BC Lions' season opener on Saturday and the Italian Day festival on Commercial Drive — by deploying more than 300 additional officers as well as vehicle barriers. The barriers were seen being installed on Commercial Drive on Friday ahead of the Italian cultural festival. 'We fully understand that as soon as this vehicle struck the Coliseum last night, the first thing that was going to be in people's mind was a flashback to what happened 40 days earlier at the Filipino Lapu Lapu festival,' Addison said. 'That's the natural reaction. 'If I have a message for people, it's please know that we're doing everything that we can, in our power, working with our partners to mitigate risks, to make this summer as safe as possible.'

Vancouver man arrested after driving into Pacific Coliseum entrance during Cirque du Soleil show, police say

A 30-year-old man has been arrested after driving a vehicle into the Pacific Coliseum on Thursday night, say Vancouver police. The Vancouver Police Department (VPD) said on X, formerly Twitter, that the suspect drove a vehicle into the front entrance of the arena, located at East Vancouver's Hastings Park, during a Cirque du Soleil performance. Arena security detained the man and police officers took him into custody. Police said that while it is still early in the investigation, the incident "does not appear to be an act of terrorism." The suspect, a Vancouver resident, was apprehended under the Mental Health Act, police said. At a Thursday night press conference outside the arena, VPD Sgt. Steve Addison said police believe the driver was "experiencing some sort of mental health psychosis." Police said there are no reported injuries. B.C. Emergency Health Services said it received a call at 8:02 p.m. regarding a single-vehicle collision at Pacific Coliseum. Three units responded to the scene and paramedics transported one patient. "There were lots of people here, thousands of people inside and outside of the venue," Addison said Thursday night. "We're relieved. It's a miracle that nobody was killed."

No Sanctuary For Stash Houses: Texas Court Backs Paxton's Border Crackdown

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton won a significant legal victory at the state's highest court, clearing the path for his lawsuit against a border aid organization to proceed. The Supreme Court of Texas overturned a lower court injunction that had halted Paxton's prosecution of Annunciation House, an El Paso nonprofit accused of illegally harboring undocumented immigrants. 'Today is a great victory for Texas, secure borders, and the rule of law,' Paxton said in a press release following the ruling. 'Annunciation House has flagrantly violated our laws by harboring illegal aliens and assisting them to enter further into our country.' The case stems from a 2024 lawsuit filed by Paxton's office against the El Paso-based organization. The Attorney General alleges the group operates as a 'stash house' in violation of Texas Penal Code provisions. Paxton's legal team built its case on what it describes as substantial public evidence and employee admissions. They argue that these revelations demonstrate systematic law violations by the nonprofit organization. An El Paso County district judge initially granted Annunciation House's request for an injunction, effectively halting the state's legal action against the Catholic-affiliated aid group. The state Supreme Court's decision addressed more than just procedural matters. Justices explicitly rejected claims that Paxton targeted the organization because of its religious connections. The high court found 'no evidence to support' accusations of religious discrimination in the case. Justices also reminded the trial court to presume the Attorney General acted in 'good faith' and with 'legality.' Paxton vowed to continue his enforcement efforts against similar organizations. 'I will do everything in my power to stop them and any other NGO breaking our laws,' he stated. Amy Warr, an attorney for Annunciation House, argued before the Texas Supreme Court that the religious organization has not broken any laws and has never hidden immigrants from law enforcement officers. She claimed that Paxton's attack against the nongovernmental organization is just anti-immigration political rhetoric, the El Paso Times reported. The ruling represents another chapter in ongoing tensions over immigration enforcement along the Texas-Mexico border. Humanitarian aid organizations are frequently caught between federal immigration policy and state-level prosecution efforts. With the injunction lifted, the case returns to the trial court level. Annunciation House will face the underlying criminal allegations in proceedings that can now proceed.
