Why was Denzel Perryman arrested? Linebacker's agent and Los Angeles Chargers issue statements
Why was Denzel Perryman arrested?
Perryman was reportedly en route to a gun range when he was pulled over by law enforcement for unspecified vehicle code violations. According to TMZ, officers searched his vehicle and discovered two AR-style rifles and three handguns in the trunk.
The rifles were determined to be non-compliant with California's strict firearm laws, making their possession illegal in the state.
What his agent said
In a statement provided to NFL Network reporter Ian Rapoport, Perryman's agent Ron Butler said his client intends to fully cooperate with authorities: "We are aware of the recent reports regarding Denzel Perryman's arrest in Los Angeles. At this time, we are still gathering facts and will fully cooperate with the process.
Denzel is a respected veteran in the NFL and a dedicated father, teammate, and professional. While we do not take this situation lightly, we remain confident that the matter will be resolved fairly and in accordance with the law.
Out of respect for the process and all parties involved, we will have no further comment at this time.'

A new immigrant detention partnership nicknamed after Indiana's iconic racetrack inspires backlash
Top Trump administration officials boast that a new state partnership to expand immigrant detention in Indiana will be the next so-called ' Alligator Alcatraz.' A new immigrant detention partnership nicknamed after Indiana's iconic racetrack inspires backlash However, the agreement is already prompting backlash in the Midwest state, starting with its splashy 'Speedway Slammer' moniker. Here's a closer look at the agreement, the pushback and Indiana's role in the Trump agenda to aggressively detain and deport people in the country illegally. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem trumpeted the deal late Tuesday, saying Indiana would add 1,000 detention beds for immigrants facing deportation under a revived federal program. On social media, DHS also posted an altered image of a race car emblazoned with 'ICE,' short for Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The IndyCar-style vehicle is shown rolling past a barbed-wire prison wall. 'If you are in America illegally, you could find yourself in Indiana's Speedway Slammer,' Noem said, likening it to the controversial facility built in the Florida Everglades. She added the new partnership will 'help remove the worst of the worst out of our country.' However, the Indiana deal doesn't involve construction. Federal funds will be used for space at the Miami Correctional Facility in Bunker Hill, roughly 75 miles north of Indianapolis. The prison's total capacity is 3,100 beds, of which 1,200 are not filled, according to Indiana Department of Correction spokeswoman Annie Goeller. Officials did not say when the detentions would start. 'Details about the partnership and how IDOC can best support those efforts are being determined,' Geoller said. The deal is part of the decades-old 287 program, which Trump has revived and expanded. It delegates immigration enforcement powers to state and local law enforcement agencies. Immigrants, attorneys and advocates have raised a number of concerns about the program, including a lack of oversight. The Florida detention facility has prompted lawsuits and complaints about poor conditions and violations of detainees' rights. Authorities have disputed the claims. Republican Gov. Mike Braun first announced the federal partnership on Friday. 'Indiana is not a safe haven for illegal immigration," he said. "Indiana will fully partner with federal immigration authorities as they enforce the most fundamental laws of our country.' The outlandish name quickly drew backlash, notably from the town of Speedway, an Indianapolis suburb which is home to the iconic racetrack that hosts the Indianapolis 500. 'This designation was developed and released independently by the federal agency, without the Town's involvement or prior notice regarding the use of the name 'Speedway,' ' officials with the Indiana town of roughly 14,000 said in a statement. 'Our primary focus remains the well-being of our residents, businesses, and visitors.' IndyCar officials were also caught off guard. 'We were unaware of plans to incorporate our imagery as part of announcement,' IndyCar said, asking that its intellectual property 'not be utilized moving forward in relation to this matter.' The altered image used by DHS featured an IndyCar with the No. 5, the same number as the only Mexican driver in the series. 'I was just a little bit shocked at the coincidences of that and, you know, of what it means,' IndyCar driver Pato O'Ward said Wednesday. 'I don't think it made a lot of people proud, to say the least.' President Donald Trump's border czar Tom Homan said Wednesday that he didn't name the facility. 'But I'll say this, the work of ICE, the men and women of ICE, are trying to do their job with integrity and honor,' he told reporters at the White House. 'I don't want these names to detract from that.' Leaders in the Trump administration have already singled out Indiana as key to their immigration agenda. Braun, a first-term governor and former U.S. senator, has been a strong Trump supporter. In January, Braun signed an executive order directing law enforcement agencies to 'fully cooperate' on immigration enforcement. The nation's newest immigration court opened in Indianapolis earlier this year as a way to address the backlog and divert cases from the busy courthouse in Chicago. Federal and state leaders are also working on plans to use a central Indiana military base, Camp Atterbury, to temporarily house detainees. 'Indiana is taking a comprehensive and collaborative approach to combating illegal immigration and will continue to lead the way among states,' Braun said in a statement Tuesday.

UN says Rwanda-backed rebels killed over 300 civilians in Congo in past month
Dakar, Aug 6 (AP) Rwanda-backed rebels killed at least 319 people over the past month in eastern Congo, the UN human rights chief said Wednesday, describing the toll as one of the largest documented in such attacks since the M23 rebels resurfaced in 2022. Citing firsthand accounts, UN human rights chief Volker Turk said in a statement that the rebels, backed by members of the Rwandan Defence Force, targeted four villages in North Kivu province's Rutshuru territory between July 9 and July 21. The continuing violence could threaten Qatar-led efforts to get Congo and the rebels to sign a permanent peace deal by the goal of August 18. One of the deal's conditions is the protection of civilians and safe return of millions of people displaced by the conflict. There was no immediate M23 comment. The M23 early this year seized two key cities in eastern Congo in a major escalation, with the help of neighbouring Rwandan forces. Congo has long been wracked by deadly conflict in its mineral-rich east, with more than 100 armed groups. The two sides on July 19 signed a declaration of principles in Qatar to end the fighting and commit to a comprehensive peace agreement that would include the restoration of state authorities in key eastern cities controlled by the insurgents. The new UN statement said deadly attacks occurred in the days following that signing. 'I am appalled by the attacks on civilians by the M23 and other armed groups" despite the declaration, the UN human rights chief said, calling for an immediate end to attacks on civilians.
