2 of 4 ICE detainees who escaped from NJ facility captured: FBI
Two of four detainees who escaped from an immigration detention center in New Jersey on Friday have been captured, authorities said on Sunday.
The FBI's Newark field office said the detainees, Joel Enrique Sandoval-Lopez and Joan Sebastian Castaneda-Lozada, were back in custody but did not immediately release details about their reported apprehension.
Detainees Franklin Norberto Bautista-Reyes and Andres Pineda-Mogollon, who also escaped Friday from Delaney Hall Detention Facility in in Newark, remained at large on Sunday, officials said.
Sen. Andy Kim, D-N.J., said at a news conference on Friday that the four men escaped from the privately owned facility that has been contracted out by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) by breaking through a wall – which he described as "drywall with a mesh interior" – in a unit that led to an exterior wall and into a parking lot. Kim said he was briefed on escape by the facility's administrators and ICE officials.
Kim said the detainees bolted from the Delaney Hall during an "uprising" at the facility.
However, the Department of Homeland Security released a subsequent statement saying, "contrary to current reporting, there has been no widespread unrest at the Delaney Hall Detention facility."
DHS described all four detainees who escaped as "public safety threats."
The agency said Bautista-Reyes is from Honduras and that he allegedly illegally entered the United States in 2021. On May 3, 2025, the Wayne Township, N.J., Police Department arrested Bautista-Reyes on charges of aggravated assault, attempt to cause bodily injury, terroristic threats and possession of a weapon for unlawful purposes, according to DHS.
Pineda-Mogollon of Colombia entered the United States in 2023 and is illegally in country after overstaying a tourist visa, according to DHS.
On April 25, the New York City Police Department arrested Pineda-Mogollon for petit larceny, DHS said. After being released in New York City, Pineda-Mogollon was arrested on May 21 by the Union, N.J. Police Department on suspicion of residential burglary, conspiracy residential burglary and possession of burglary tools, according to DHS.
Captured detainee Castaneda-Lozada, also of Colombia, illegally entered the U.S. in 2022, according to DHS. He was arrested on May 15 in Hammonton, N.J., on suspicion of burglary, theft and conspiracy to commit burglary, DHS said.
The other captured detainee, Sandoval-Lopez of Honduras, illegally entered the U.S. as a minor in 2019. He was arrested on Feb. 15 by Passaic, N.J., police on a charge of aggravated assault. Sandoval-Lopez was also arrested on Oct. 3 in Passaic police on charges of unlawful possession of a handgun, according to DHS.

The Trump administration is offering 3 different scenarios for how 'Liberation Day 2.0' may play out
A key deadline in President Trump's trade war is getting closer, with a 90-day pause on his "Liberation Day" tariffs set to expire on July 9. But what will actually happen when the clock strikes midnight on what some are calling "Liberation Day 2.0" is anyone's guess. A series of comments from Trump and his officials this week — even within a 12-hour span on Wednesday — were notable for the variety of scenarios they have on the table. It could be a nonevent with additional deadline extensions in the offing. It might be a day of celebration of long-promised trade deals that have yet to materialize. And it could also be a day when the hammer comes down and tariffs are simply dictated. Trump himself has indicated he is open to all three, telling reporters Wednesday evening that he will be sending letters to tell nations, "This is the deal, you can take it or leave it," but also acknowledging that some deadlines could be extended, and on other fronts, "We're rocking in terms of deals." The scenarios laid out this week by the president, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick aren't necessarily mutually exclusive, but which countries get which outcome will be closely watched by investors, as some outcomes are decidedly more market-friendly than others. As for what will actually happen, Henrietta Treyz of Veda Partners offered a prediction in a Thursday morning note to Yahoo Finance suggesting a combination of all three. "I think this is going to be like a potluck: There's going to be a little bit of everything," she said. On the menu for about 130 nations will be letters, she suggested, "and I'm optimistic their rate will be in the 10-25% range." Other nations may be able to secure limited deals — such as a recent pact with the UK — but with plenty of tariffs staying on or being added. Others may get an extension for now. Read more: What Trump's tariffs mean for the economy and your wallet The uncertainty facing markets revolves around which scenario takes center stage in the coming weeks. The divergences were in stark relief Wednesday as the day unfolded. In the morning, during a CNBC appearance, Lutnick suggested the centerpiece would be a flood of new deals. He said that with China tensions on the back burner for the moment, negotiators will able to find areas of agreement on other fronts. "You're going to see deal after deal," he said. "This is going to start coming next week and the week after and the week after." But observers have grown increasingly unmoved by these promises after the administration has been suggesting imminent deals for months now, with only a limited pact with the UK materializing so far. By midday, Bessent was testifying before Congress and offered a somewhat different portrait of the weeks ahead. He indirectly acknowledged the slower pace of deals and said Trump is "highly likely" to push back his deadline for at least some top trading partners. He said the administration is prepared to "roll the date forward" for the 18 major partners that are negotiating in what the administration views as good faith. "If someone is not negotiating, then we will not," Bessent added. During his testimony, the Treasury secretary also floated the notion of regional trade deals, where a group of countries may get similar terms. By the evening, Trump offered a third focus, announcing that he is going to send letters to trading partners in the next one to two weeks to simply set new unilateral tariff rates. The letters are "telling them what the deal is," Trump told reporters Wednesday during a stop at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C. But the president's comments also offered a mix of his aides' other messages from the day. The president said he would be willing to extend the deadline for certain nations, "but I don't think we're going to have that necessity." He also suggested that deals could be imminent on at least a few fronts, noting that "we're dealing with Japan, we're dealing with South Korea. We're dealing with a lot of them."

Anti-Abortion Assassin Wore Creepy Latex Mask to Murder Dem
The FBI has released new images of Vance Boelter, the man suspected of killing a Minnesota lawmaker and her husband and shooting another, that show the mask he used as part of his ruse. Authorities had previously revealed that Boelter impersonated a police officer during his spree, but new images shared by the FBI on Boelter's wanted poster show that he also wore a latex mask. The images appear to be taken from doorbell or security camera footage. A manhunt is currently underway for Boelter, who is suspected of killing Minnesota State Representative Melissa Hortman and her husband. He is also believed to have shot State Senator John Hoffman and his wife. Boelter fled on foot following a shootout with police at the Hortman home. In his abandoned vehicle, authorities found a list of nearly 70 potential targets, including Governor Tim Walz and Rep. Ilhan Omar, as well as abortion providers and advocates. Like Walz and Ohmar, both Hortman and Hoffman are Democrats. Boelter most recently worked as a director of security patrols for Praetorian Guard Security Services, a company that offers 'residential security patrols' by armed and uniformed guards. Boelter's bio on the company's website states that he has been involved in 'security situations' across the world, including in the West Bank, Southern Lebanon, and Gaza. The 57-year-old's bio also states that, 'He brings a great security aspect forged by both many on-the-ground experiences combined with training by both private security firms and by people in the U.S. military.' In 2019, Boelter was appointed to Minnesota's Governor's Workforce Development Board, which advises the governor on the state's workforce, by Walz. The FBI is offering a reward of up to $50,000 for information that could lead to Boelter's arrest and conviction.

Los Angeles curfew to continue for 'couple more days': mayor
A nightly curfew in Los Angeles will continue for "a couple more days," Mayor Karen Bass said Sunday, the ninth day of protests that have seen US President Donald Trump launch a military-backed crackdown. Demonstrators began protesting on June 6 against immigration raids launched by the Trump administration to round up undocumented migrants in the heavily Latino city in Democrat-led California. The rallies have been mostly peaceful and confined to a small area of Downtown Los Angeles, but marred by sporadic and eye-catching violence which Republican Trump has used as a pretext to send in 4,000 National Guard and 700 Marines. The extraordinary deployment came over the protests of local officials who have insisted that the situation was under control. Bass issued an overnight curfew on June 10 on the downtown area at the heart of the protests to stop incidents of vandalism and looting. On Sunday she said she is hoping that the number of people behind the violent incidents "will taper off". "So I know the curfew will be on for at least a couple more days," she said in a televised interview with local news channel KTLA, adding that she cannot predict how many more days exactly. "We don't know how many raids are going to happen, we don't know what the character of the raids will be, and every time that happens it really generates a lot of anger in the city," she said. Trump, seeminly unfazed by the protests, on Sunday directed federal authorities to ramp up their deportation efforts, including in Los Angeles. Bass noted the anger and fear that the raids by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency have generated in Los Angeles. "People are afraid to leave their homes," she said, adding that raids have at times felt "indiscriminate." "This is the United States. You are not supposed to have to show your papers if you go out in public," she said. "It's hard for me to believe it's targeted." Trump said on social media that ICE agents had been subjected to "violence, harassment and even threats" and ordered them to "do all in their power" to effect mass deportations. Los Angeles was mostly calm on Sunday after a massive rally and march a day earlier -- part of the "No Kings" series of anti-Trump protests across the country -- saw thousands of people turn out to condemn the raids and the military crackdown. A small group of demonstrators marched around City Hall during the sunny afternoon under the watchful eye of law enforcement, including several woman clad in bikinis carrying signs with slogans including "Hot Girl Summer Melt ICE". bur-st/dhw
