Bad actors in LA protests a ‘good thing' for Trump's immigration agenda: Chuck Rocha

Protests in Los Angeles and other cities continue as citizens protest ICE raids taking place in their communities. Democratic strategist Chuck Rocha encourages Americans to protest if they have disagreements with the government but cautions against bad actors who cause destruction and violence, saying, 'Those are the imagery Donald Trump wants to see … because it's a good thing for him.' Rocha talks about how President Trump campaigned on immigration, which he says is a key reason Trump was reelected. Rocha believes Democrats have a hard time sticking to core values and need to return to those if they want to win elections. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Chris Cuomo: ICE protests happening across US aren't really about ICE

Are the protests happening across the United States over ICE raids really about immigration issues? Chris Cuomo doesn't think that's the full story. Instead, he suggests they're a coordinated effort to recruit as many people and different types of groups with different ideas, but one common goal — to destroy the country. Cuomo says the protests are fed by dark sources with a desire for the destruction of the U.S. He dives into how deep the backing for these protests go and potential ties to a Chinese communist group.

Fifteen years later: Remembering deadly Albert Pike flood that left 20 dead

MONTGOMERY COUNTY, Ark.- It's been 15 years since a deadly flood at what was once a popular campsite took the lives of 20 people. The campsite remained closed until a bill sponsored by an Arkansas congressman was signed into law this year. For many families back at Albert Pike Recreation Area along the Little Missouri River, it brings back memories. However, June 11th also carries a somber memory. 'It's almost like visiting a haunted house,' said Cathy Smith, a visitor at Albert Pike. Albert Pike Recreation to remain day-use only 10 years after fatal flash flood On June 11, 2010, heavy rain during a storm fell over the campsite at night, causing a flash flood where 20 campers who were sleeping died. 'We actually knew a couple and their grandchild that perished in the flood, so it was absolute horror,' Smith said. The O'Rand family says they used to come to the site often but have rarely been back since the flood. 'Some of the best parts of my childhood was being in this area and knowing that something like this happened really quickly with very little warning they had. It was devastating,' Aaron O'Rand said. The camping area has remained closed after the flood, only allowing some areas for day use until Arkansas Congressman Bruce Westerman worked on the EXPLORE Act, a bill signed into law this year by former President Joe Biden in early January. 'Part of the EXPLORE Act requires reopening and rebuilding the campground at Albert Pike; it requires the campsite to be above the 100-year floodplain,' Westerman said The Montgomery County Judge Bart Williams stated that when the new campground is built, the area will go back to being an overnight campsite and will be beneficial. 'Montgomery, Polk, Howard and Pike counties will benefit through stimulation of local economies in our small communities through tourism. The local governments will see an increase in the tax base,' Williams said. 'Montgomery County residents grew up with this area open and want to be able to spend time there with their families and pass it along to future generations.' Study to look at future use of Albert Pike after fatal flood Westerman added that he 'knows they're already working on designs on how to build the new campsite and how to get the existing families back up.' Both families say they're glad that the campsite will be reopening as they bring their family members to the areas that are available for day use. 'We were expecting it to be totally different and look different and like the vibe different but it's really about the same,' Megan O'Rand said. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
