When Bloodshed and Chaos Arrived at 345 Park Avenue
A group from the finance firm Blackstone gathered for a mixer off the lobby of 345 Park Avenue on Monday evening. Across the big, airy space a Blackstone senior executive, Wesley LePatner, 43, was passing through after a day of meetings upstairs. She was a mentor to young women who oversaw a real estate team that had injected tens of billions of dollars into their portfolio. A busy Monday, nearing its end. There was the lobby's security guard — friendly and popular. He stepped outside every day to buy a lottery ticket from the news stand on Lexington Avenue. Today's my day, he would joke with the young vendor. I'll win big and solve all my problems. Darin Laing, 37, in finance, passed him by as he left with a colleague to grab a quick dinner across the street. None of them noticed a dark BMW pull up on Park Avenue and double park. The driver stepped out. It was a hot day, the beginning of a heat wave that gripped the city. So the lobby's big blinds were lowered against the sun, masking his approach to the building. Just before 6:30 p.m., the driver, a slim young man wearing sunglasses, entered the lobby with an assault rifle in his right hand. Much would be learned about that man in the hours and days to follow — and about the four others who would ultimately lose their lives. But at that moment and for a long stretch that followed, he was an anonymous, terrifying, unfolding threat. One that New Yorkers have seen play out all over America, and now had come to their door.

The Turmoil of an ICE Courthouse Arrest
In One Image The Turmoil of an ICE Courthouse Arrest By Todd Heisler, Luis Ferré-Sadurní and Wesley Parnell This is one of the many arrests happening each day inside the immigration courthouse in New York City. Agents cover their faces with masks. They wait in the hallway before springing into action, grabbing migrants leaving routine hearings. President Trump has enlisted officers across the government, but it can be difficult to tell which agencies they work for. Carlos Javier Lopez Benitez, a 27-year-old from Paraguay, was one of their targets on July 16. He was in court seeking asylum. News photographers, who outnumber federal agents some days, dashed to document the arrest. His sister, Lilian Lopez, clung to his arms, wailing, as officers clawed her grip. Supported by This has become the new normal in America's immigration courts. In New York City, especially, courthouse arrests have driven a spike in detentions of undocumented immigrants without criminal records. Immigration authorities used to stay away from courthouses. They were aware that their presence could scare migrants from engaging with the legal system. That changed in May when the Trump administration began arresting some immigrants showing up for mandatory court dates so that their deportations could be expedited. The arrests turned the courthouses into places to witness Mr. Trump's immigration crackdown unfold, in real time, every day. Masked agents stand sentry outside the courtrooms. Migrants show up for their hearings, not knowing if they're walking into a trap. The arrests sometimes devolve into volatile tussles, with news photographers, activists and politicians crowding hallways to witness the spectacle. Family members are often left reeling. 'His arrest was like the show of the day,' Porfiria Lopez, one of Mr. Lopez Benitez's sisters, said of her brother's arrest. 'The question we were left with is: How do they decide who to arrest? Is it chance or just theater?' Mr. Lopez Benitez, who is from Paraguay, crossed the southern border in May 2023. He was briefly apprehended by border patrol agents in Arizona, placed in deportation proceedings and released into the United States as his case wound through the courts. He traveled to New York, where he reunited with his two sisters, who are U.S. citizens. He lived in Queens, worked in construction and did not have a criminal record, according to his family and his lawyers. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

Elizabeth Holmes spotted at Texas prison where Ghislaine Maxwell was transferred
Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes was spotted jogging at the same minimum-security Texas prison that is now housing Ghislaine Maxwell after a recent transfer. Holmes, 41, is serving an 11-year sentence for knowingly misleading investors at Theranos, the blood-testing company she founded in 2003. The company ceased operations in 2018. She was sentenced in 2022 after she was convicted on three counts of wire fraud and one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud. Holmes was pictured on Saturday jogging in a gray shirt and shorts, as well as compression gloves and a hat in the rec yard at Federal Prison Camp Bryan. The prison in Bryan, Texas, is the same facility where 63-year-old Maxwell, the convicted associate of deceased sex predator Jeffrey Epstein, is now being held after she was transferred on Friday from Federal Correctional Institution Tallahassee in Florida. It remains unclear why she was moved, but Maxwell and her lawyer met twice with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche before the transfer took place. Maxwell's attorney has been publicly seeking a pardon or sentence commutation from President Donald Trump. The president said he has not received such a request, but has not ruled out the possibility of a pardon or commutation. Maxwell has also offered to testify to a congressional committee about Epstein in exchange for immunity. Maxwell, who is eligible for release in 2037, was found guilty in 2021 on sex trafficking charges in connection with helping Epstein abuse underage girls.
