Robbers force family — including 3 kids — into basement and duct-tape them during armed Queens home invasion
Two thugs armed with guns, one disguised as an Amazon worker, pushed their way into a home in Queens and tied up the family – including three young children – and duct taped their mouths shut, according to law enforcement sources. The thieves, one wearing an Amazon vest the other a black hoodie, forced their way into a single-family home in Whitestone Monday morning just after 9 a.m., police and sources said. One of the family's four children who had already left for school accidentally left the door open making it easier for the gunman to enter the home, law enforcement sources said. The hooligans forced the family into the basement at gunpoint, tied them up and stretched duct tape over their mouths, sources said. The pair raided the home and fled with an unknown amount of cash and jewelry using the victim's own car, a silver Chrysler minivan, as the getaway vehicle. Investigators found it abandoned two blocks away, police said. John Nardone had just climbed out of his car to get to work when he saw the terrified father running out of the house tugging at something on his face. Nardone realized it was duct tape. 'I said, 'are you ok?'' Nardone said. 'He said his kids were in the basement.' Nardone called 911 immediately, according to FreedomNewsTV. 'I honestly didn't really know what he was saying. He didn't really speak the greatest English,' the witness told FreedomNewsTV. 'He seemed really rattled and like he did not know even what was going on. But he was definitely very nervous.' Two police cars responded to the house, which is across the street from PS 193 Alfred J. Kennedy Elementary School, within minutes, Nardone said. He told officers what little he knew. 'He was definitely disheveled,' the witness said of the terrified father. 'He was definitely, like, scared. He probably didn't know what just happened himself.' Nardone said he was nervous himself because he was starting his second day at a new job and didn't want to be late. The scene was so bizarre that at first he questioned what he was seeing. 'I was wondering if this was real, because that,' he said referring to the victim running out of a house, 'I've never seen something like that, like a guy come out of his house with duct tape all over his face.' Police are still searching for the suspects and said the incident remains under investigation. Investigators are looking for any video they can find to help identify the brazen gunman.

Watch: Trump Tower occupied by anti-ICE protesters
Credit: Freedom News TV/X Activists temporarily occupied Trump Tower to protest the arrest and deportation of illegal migrants. Around 20 protesters sat on the ground floor of the New York skyscraper, protesting against ICE raids aimed at detaining illegal migrants. Such raids led to protests and violent clashes in California over the weekend. Footage on social media showed the group holding signs including 'defend the constitution' and 'no job site raids' alongside pictures of recently deported migrants. After refusing to move, they were quickly detained by police who used zip ties to restrain their hands before removing them from Trump Tower, once the primary residence of the president, and placing them into waiting NYPD vans. One sign held by a protester read 'free Kilmar,' referring to Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was returned to the US last week after being mistakenly deported to El Salvador's notorious mega prison. The US Supreme Court ordered the Trump administration to 'facilitate' Mr Abrego Garcia's return. The White House initially refused, insisting Mr Abrego Garcia is a member of the notorious South American gang MS-13, allegations his wife and lawyer have denied. The demonstration comes after a weekend of violence in Los Angeles where masked protesters smashed and torched self-driving electric cars in riots sparked by immigration raids in the city. Credit: Reuters Confrontations began when dozens of protesters gathered outside a federal detention centre demanding the release of 44 people arrested by federal immigration authorities across Los Angeles on Friday. So far, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is averaging about 1,600 arrests per day. On Monday, Mr Trump suggested California Governor Gavin Newsom should be arrested over the violence engulfing LA. 'Hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants, many of them prisoners, are taking up your health care. They're taking up your space in schools, they're taking up your hospitals,' Mr Trump later told reporters. 'And in many cases, they're criminals, and we have to do something about it and we're doing something about it. 'Until we went in, if we didn't do the job that place would be burning down, just like the houses, burned down, they were in big trouble last night.'

Dozens of anti-ICE protesters busted at Trump Tower after lobby takeover: ‘Bring them home!'
About two dozen anti-ICE protesters swarmed the lobby of Trump Tower in Manhattan Monday, and were busted after refusing to leave.

Bring them home!' as NYPD cops descended on the Fifth Avenue skyscraper around 1 p.m. 3 Dozens were arrested during an anti-ICE protest at Trump Tower Monday. James Messerschmidt Advertisement 3 The crowd chanted 'Bring them back! Bring them home!' as police stepped in. Peter Hambrecht/FreedomNewsTV The group called for the release of inmates from the notorious hellhole prison CECOT in El Salvador – where migrants deported from the US, and even 'dangerous' American citizens convicted of heinous crimes are held in overcrowded cells. 'We are demanding that the administration bring back everyone from CECOT to the United States, release them ICE custody, return them to their homes and families and allow them their day in court,' demanded a woman leading the protest. Advertisement The NYPD confirmed that the protesters were given multiple orders to disperse from the lobby, but refused to comply. An audio recording with the message, 'This is the New York City Police Department. You are occupying these premises unlawfully and without permission. I am ordering you to leave these premises now. If you refuse to leave, you may be subject to arrest,' played before police began placing the crew in zip-tie handcuffs. 3 The NYPD said the group was given multiple orders to disperse and refused to comply.
