3 arrested during investigation into firearms, explosives, drugs in Cache County
Three people were arrested after search warrants were executed at a residence in Logan and a residence in Hyrum. The warrants led to the recovery of firearms, explosives, and evidence of drug use, according to officials.
The Cache County Sheriff's Office said that an initial traffic stop led to a drug arrest, after which investigators found evidence 'indicating firearms were being sold to known, documented gang members.'
The investigation took officials to a residence in Logan, where the Cache County Sheriff's Office Proactive Unit and the Cache-Rich Drug Task Force executed a search warrant. At that home, officials recovered firearms and found a 'homemade explosive device believed to be a pipe bomb.' Officials also reportedly found evidence of drug use.
Officials executed another search warrant in Hyrum, where they reportedly found an assault rifle that was hidden inside a wall and signs of methamphetamine use.
'The investigation is active and ongoing,' the sheriff's office said. 'Further information will be released as it becomes available.'

Restaurant attendance takes a dive in DC after Trump's police actions
Restaurant attendance in the nation's capital has taken a dive in the wake of President Trump's Washington, D.C., crackdown on crime, according to data from OpenTable. Last Monday, Trump announced he was taking federal control of D.C.'s police department and deploying the National Guard in the city in an effort to fight crime. Beginning that Monday, seated diners at Washington restaurants due to online reservations started to drop dramatically in comparison to the prior year, dipping 16 percent. On Wednesday, the amount of seated diners at restaurants due to reservations fell 31 percent, slightly recovering to down by 20 percent on Saturday. WUSA was the first to report on the D.C. OpenTable data. D.C. residents have expressed their outrage towards the president's recent actions in their city via protests. On Wednesday, federal law enforcement officers were heckled in a relatively busy area in Washington's Northwestern quadrant. Trump's crime crackdown has also reignited calls for D.C. statehood, with the District also not having its own voting member of Congress. Attorney General Pam Bondi said on Sunday that authorities arrested 68 people overnight in D.C. 'Over 300 arrests in D.C. — and counting: Just last night, our federal and DC law enforcement partners made 68 arrests and seized 15 illegal firearms,' Bondi said in a post on the social platform X. 'Homicide suspects, drug traffickers, and more are being charged. I'll continue to stand with you as we make DC safe again!' Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) on Sunday dismissed Trump's recent crackdown on the nation's capitol as a 'stunt.' 'What's happening here in Washington, D.C., is just a stunt. Donald Trump didn't like the fact that the walls were closing in on him, that his own base was questioning why he wouldn't release the Epstein files, why he was protecting very powerful people,' Murphy told NBC News's Kristen Welker on 'Meet the Press.'

Trump's selective stance on justice: Redemption for some, scorn for others
'They will never be an asset to society,' he said. 'I don't care. I know we all want to say, 'Oh, they're going to be rehabbed.' They're not going to be rehabbed.' The declaration provided a window into the president's selective view of criminality and redemption. In his eyes, Capitol rioters, a triple murderer, two police officers involved in covering up the killing of a Black man, and an Israeli settler accused of extremist violence all deserve a second chance. Advertisement But the people accused of crimes in Washington are irredeemable. Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up Trump, himself a felon, has shown particular leniency to criminals he seems to identify with — people who are white or wealthy, or who he believes have been unfairly persecuted, or who rioted in his name on Jan. 6, 2021. The White House defends the president's actions, pointing to his criminal justice record from his first term, which included signing prison overhaul legislation aimed at rehabilitation and using his clemency powers to release many Black offenders who faced excessive punishments for nonviolent crimes. But in his second term, Trump has seized on racial tensions to further his longstanding view that cities are hopelessly dirty, violent, and menaced by criminals. In addition to the District of Columbia, Trump characterized other cities, which have Black, Democratic mayors, in incendiary terms. Advertisement Chicago, he said, was 'very bad.' Baltimore and Oakland were 'so far gone.' 'When you look at what he's doing, it's very much selective criminality,' said Carl W. Tobias, a professor at the University of Richmond School of Law. 'A lot of this is the ongoing racialization of crime. It's not an accident that all the cities he's thinking about targeting have either immigrants or they have Black mayors. It's just so obvious.' Harrison Fields, a White House spokesperson, said that the president and his administration were not 'cherry-picking' criminals to expose, including the ones featured in the handout, but rather were addressing a reality in the Black community. Washington does have a real crime problem, although Trump has used exaggerated and inaccurate figures to portray the city as lawless. 'The people most impacted by crime in the inner-city happen to be Black and unfortunately, the people that are perpetuating the crime also happen to be Black,' Fields said. He also argued that comparing the treatment of Jan. 6 criminals with the treatment of others was unfair. 'Jan. 6 was one day in American history,' he said. 'The crime plaguing D.C., Baltimore, Chicago, New Orleans, all these other cities, is every single day for these people. And it's such a disservice to the feelings of these people every single day that feel like they cannot go to the local 7-Eleven out of fear of getting assaulted or murdered or carjacked.' Since taking office, Trump has shown a pattern of characterizing defendants of color, in particular, as deserving the harshest punishments possible, while showing deference to others, including those who align more with his beliefs. Advertisement On his first day, Trump pardoned thousands of his supporters who were arrested and charged for taking part in a violent mob at the Capitol, assaulting police, smashing windows, ransacking offices, and threatening to hang his vice president. Some had prior criminal records, for offenses like rape, manslaughter, and possession of child sexual abuse material, according to an investigation by NPR. 'They've already been in jail for a long time,' Trump said. 'These people have been destroyed.' Two days later, he pardoned Washington police officers who were convicted on charges related to a car chase that killed a young Black man in 2020, that they later tried to cover up. Trump suggested the officers were the victims in the case, and falsely claimed that the man was an illegal immigrant. 'And I guess something happened where something went wrong, and they arrested the two officers and put them in jail for going after a criminal,' he said. For years, Trump has invoked race when discussing crime. Trump famously took out newspaper advertisements in 1989, including in The New York Times, calling for New York state to adopt the death penalty after five Black and Latino teenagers were arrested and later wrongfully convicted of the rape of a white woman. Even after the men, known as the Central Park Five, were exonerated, Trump never apologized or acknowledged their innocence. That he was inspired to take action after a white 19-year-old who worked for the Department of Government Efficiency was assaulted this month crystallized the point that Trump also seems to only care about some victims, critics say. Advertisement Fields noted that the president also referred to Black victims during the announcement, and that he had spoken out against white perpetrators. He disputed that Trump was spurred into action by the DOGE employee, even though he decried the attack on social media and repeatedly mentioned it in public. Fields said Trump was moved to act after Jeanine Pirro, the US attorney in Washington and a former Fox News host, showed him images of Black teenagers who had been killed. 'The president saw this for himself,' Fields said. 'He does not want to see anyone dying or being assaulted on our streets.' Inimai Chettiar, a longtime criminal justice advocate who supported Trump's prison reform agenda, said that the president's actions in Washington reflected a common dynamic in tough-on-crime tactics that often target Black and brown communities. 'I think that this is a typical pattern that politicians, especially white politicians, fall into,' she said. 'They view certain people as deserving and others as not.' But she said sending the National Guard to the streets of Washington was excessive. 'The Trump administration is trying to manufacture a domestic enemy in Black and brown people,' she said.

68 DC suspects arrested in single night as White House touts Trump's push to 'clean up' capital city
Nearly 70 people were arrested in Washington, D.C. on Saturday night, as President Donald Trump's crackdown on crime continues. The White House shared the arrest numbers with Fox News on Sunday. A total of 68 people were arrested on Saturday night. According to officials, 15 illegal firearms were seized. Some of the many charges included aggravated assault, assault on a police officer and resisting arrest. Other charges included fugitive from justice, felony grand larceny and possession of a controlled substance. Additional arrestees were accused of fleeing from law enforcement and driving with a revoked permit. Three homeless encampments were also cleared on Saturday. No arrests were recorded, and the dismantlings happened without incident, a White House official said. Taylor Rogers, a White House spokesperson, told Fox News Digital that Trump's leadership is "quickly making our nation's capital safer." "In less than ten days, over 300 dangerous criminals have already been arrested and taken off the streets of Washington, D.C.," Rogers said. "President Trump is delivering on his campaign promise to clean up this city and restore American Greatness to our cherished capital." Attorney General Pam Bondi praised the efforts in a post on X Sunday."Over 300 arrests in D.C. — and counting: Just last night, our federal and DC law enforcement partners made 68 arrests and seized 15 illegal firearms. Homicide suspects, drug traffickers, and more are being charged," she wrote. "I'll continue to stand with you as we make DC safe again!" Since the law enforcement operation began on Aug. 7, 308 arrests have been documented in total. Those arrests include 135 illegal immigrants whom the White House identified as gang members or violent criminals. The report comes just a week after Trump vowed to make Washington, D.C., "safer and more beautiful." "I will take care of our cherished Capital, and we will make it, truly, GREAT AGAIN! Before the tents, squalor, filth, and crime, it was the most beautiful Capital in the world. It will soon be that again," Trump wrote in a Truth Social post.
