A 70-year-old Massachusetts man was charged with attempted murder after a heated dispute over water access at a local beach turned violent, according to authorities. 
Steven Dana was arrested after police responded to a call about a fight. Authorities say Dana assaulted 21-year-old Matt Duffy during a confrontation at Sandy Beach in Hopkinton, Massachusetts. Prosecutors say Dana forced Duffy underwater and held him there during the altercation, leading to the attempted murder charge.
Police said the dispute stemmed from Duffy and his friends using Lake Maspenock. Duffy <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/boston/news/hopkinton-ma-sandy-beach-fight-attempted-murder/">told CBS News Boston</a> that Dana, who appeared to live near the water, became increasingly irritated by the group riding a jet ski.
Dramatic video obtained by <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJmF2NvezBM">Boston 25 News</a> shows the confrontation escalating near the edge of the water.

“Time to go. You live there and listen to you doing it all day long and see how you like it,” Dana told Duffy. 
“Woopdy doo,” Duffy replied. “You bought a house on the lake. Deal with it. I’m following the rules of the lake.” 
Dana repeatedly told Duffy to take this boat elsewhere. The young men refused and appeared to taunt the 70-year-old. 
As Dana threatened to call the police, one of the young men mocked the idea.
“You want me to shoot you?” Dana asked him.
“Alright, shoot me then,” Duffy said back. 
Dana then walked down to the beach and stood face-to-face with Duffy. 
“Use that big mouth of yours,” Dana said before slapping Duffy in his face. 
The two tussled to the ground. Video appears to show Dana forcing Duffy into the water during the altercation. 
“He tackled me into the water, then we were fighting, and then he shoved my head under and was not letting me breathe until my friend came up and pulled him off me,&#8221; Duffy told <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/boston/news/hopkinton-ma-sandy-beach-fight-attempted-murder/">CBS News Boston.</a> &#8220;I just knew I couldn&#8217;t use either of my arms or my leg as they were both broken, and it was just praying that he let go or my friends pull him off of me.”
The 21-year-old said he had been using crutches because he was involved in a severe motorcycle accident months before, according to CBS News. 
Authorities charged Dana with attempted murder, strangulation/suffocation, and assault and battery on a disabled person. 
Dana was freed on Friday on $7,500 bail. He is due back in court on July 13.

A federal judge on Friday struck down a Trump administration policy that froze immigration proceedings for applicants from 39 countries after an Afghan refugee was accused of killing a National Guardsman and wounding another in Washington, D.C., <a href="https://apnews.com/article/trump-immigration-asylum-citizenship-10591d120e5cb13da736d9eeb06757c8">according to the Associated Press.</a> 
U.S. District Chief Judge John McConnell Jr. ruled that U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services exceeded its legal authority when it halted final decisions on asylum, work permit, green card, and citizenship applications from nationals of dozens of countries across Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East.
The policy was enacted after prosecutors accused Rahmanullah Lakanwal, a 29-year-old Afghan national, of carrying out a deadly shooting in the nation&#8217;s capital the day before Thanksgiving. 
Prosecutors say Lakanwal drove from Bellingham, Washington, to Washington, D.C., and opened fire on National Guard troops, killing U.S. Army Spc. Sarah Beckstrom, 20, and wounding U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe, 24. 
Wolfe, who <a href="https://wjla.com/news/local/andrew-wolfe-skull-reconstruction-deadly-washington-dc-national-guard-shooting-recovery-aphasia-rehabilitation-sarah-beckstrom-rahmanullah-lakanwal-farragut-square-white-house-november-26-2026">underwent skull reconstruction surgery</a>, is making a slow—but remarkable—recovery.
Lakanwal pleaded not guilty to nine charges, including first-degree murder.
Lakanwal entered the United States during former President Joe Biden’s administration after serving alongside U.S. troops in Afghanistan in a CIA-backed unit, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/afghan-refugee-charged-in-national-guard-shooting-appears-in-court-as-death-penalty-looms">The Daily Wire previously reported. </a>
After the shooting, President Donald Trump called for the death penalty and signed off on the immigration restrictions, citing national security concerns.
“This order aims to safeguard U.S. citizens from aliens who may seek to commit terrorist acts, pose threats to national security, promote hateful ideologies, or exploit immigration laws for malicious purposes,” <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-halts-immigration-from-19-high-risk-countries-following-national-guard-shooting">the administration said at the time.</a>
In the <a href="https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.rid.61671/gov.uscourts.rid.61671.28.0.pdf">135-page opinion</a> issued Friday, McConnell sharply criticized the policy and the government&#8217;s implementation of it.  
McConnell said the restrictions “threw the lives of countless immigrants living in the United States into indeterminate legal limbo” and said USCIS exceeded its legal authority, failed to explain its policy changes, and accused USCIS of leaning on “anti-immigrant sentiments.” 
“Over six months later, many of those individuals remain without work, without legal status, and without any meaningful ability to plan for their futures,” Judge McConnell wrote.  “In legal terms, that means USCIS’s actions are contrary to law and arbitrary and capricious.”
Democracy Forward, a legal nonprofit that helped represent the immigration groups behind the lawsuit, <a href="https://democracyforward.org/news/press-releases/federal-court-vacates-trump-vance-administration-policies-targeting-immigrants-based-on-country-of-origin/">celebrated the ruling.</a>
“This ruling reaffirms a basic principle: the federal government cannot shut down lawful immigration pathways or discriminate against people based on where they come from,” Skye Perryman, President and CEO of Democracy Forward, said. 
The decision marks a significant defeat for the White House, which is expected to appeal.

Democrats reportedly turned to embattled Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner after finding their first choice had a big &#8220;skeleton&#8221; in his closet. 
Last July, two Boston-based Democratic operatives who met on Bernie Sanders’ 2020 presidential campaign began searching for someone who could take down Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME), <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2025/12/05/graham-platner-maine-senate-collins-00677731">according to Politico.</a> National Democrats view the seat as their best path to flip control of the upper chamber. 
Daniel Moraff and Leanne Fan, who are engaged, have built an impressive political resume for finding unconventional candidates. During the 2024 cycle, the pair recruited independent candidate Dan Osborne to challenge vulnerable Republican Sen. Deb Fischer in Nebraska. Osborne, who was expected to caucus with Democrats if elected, forced Republicans to spend heavily to defend the seat. His pro-union, working-class campaign resonated with voters, allowing him to <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2024/11/05/us/elections/results-nebraska.html">outperform Harris by nearly eight points.</a>
Fresh off that effort, the couple turned their attention to Maine, scrambling to find a left-wing populist after their initial choice – union boss Chris Williams — was sidelined by an undisclosed scandal.
“It was a go,” Moraff told Politico. “But there was a skeleton closet that wasn’t true that we would’ve had to explain.” 
“They decided to go in a different direction,” he added. 
That different direction led Moraff and Fan to the home of Platner’s mother, Leslie Harlow, on Maine&#8217;s Ironbound Island. 
“They came to Ironbound knowing I was Graham’s mother,” Harlow told Politico. 
The operatives explained the type of candidate they were looking for and then asked for Platner’s cell number.
“And he came back in and said,” Harlow recalled to Politico, “‘Well, I guess we’re going to meet Graham tomorrow at 6 a.m.’”
About a month later, Platner launched his campaign on August 19 in a viral video that quickly attracted national attention from leftist activists and Democratic donors. 
But the oyster farmer’s sugar high has come crashing down in recent weeks amid a barrage of negative press about Platner&#8217;s personal misconduct. 
The Daily Wire previously uncovered that the Senate hopeful maintained an active account on a social media platform known to attract child predators. Over the weekend, several media outlets reported that Platner, a married man, had exchanged sexually explicit messages with several women. 
On Thursday, the latest shoe dropped. 
Platner engaged in a pattern of “intimidating and disturbing” behavior toward multiple women and lied about not knowing the meaning of his Nazi tattoo, according to a New York Times <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2026/06/04/us/politics/platner-maine-senate-girlfriends-relationships.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share">report</a>. 
Three of Platner’s ex-girlfriends described volatile and “toxic” relationships with the Senate hopeful, claiming he demeaned women, became physically threatening, and was repeatedly unfaithful. On one occasion, an ex-girlfriend accused Platner of twisting her arm, shoving her into a bedroom, and holding the door shut until she became “calm.” 
Platner appeared on MS NOW to do damage control.
“There are some allegations in this piece that I just want to be kind of unequivocal about, are simply not true,” Platner said on the leftist television network. “Anything alleging physicality, anything alleging that I knew what my tattoo was, these are the statements of someone who’s politically motivated.”
Platner has shown no signs of suspending his campaign. He&#8217;s set to hold a <a href="https://www.mobilize.us/grahamformaine/event/959224/">campaign event Friday night</a> with Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA).

The most partisan Democrats celebrated Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) for reaching a major milestone as her likely 2026 Democratic opponent Graham Platner’s campaign faltered from the fallout of a fresh controversy.
On Thursday, the Maine senator cast her 10,000th consecutive vote during a marathon vote-a-rama on President Donald Trump&#8217;s budget reconciliation package, which provides $69.5 billion in funding for ICE through 2029. The measure passed 52-47. Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) was the lone Republican who voted against it.
The Senate chamber erupted in applause as Collins hit the milestone, drawing rare bipartisan praise. 
“No matter what has been going on in the world or in her life, Senator Collins has never, never missed a vote in her entire Senate career. This is truly a remarkable milestone,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said. “Many of us try hard to make every vote. Senator Collins has actually done it.”
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-media-max-width="560">

Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) backed up Schumer, calling the accomplishment an “impressive demonstration of endurance and determination.&#8221;
“I salute you for it,” he said. 
Collins, a moderate Republican who represents an increasingly blue state, is the first senator in history to reach the threshold. 
“Mainers are known for their work ethic, and they deserve a senator who works just as hard for them. Growing up in Aroostook County, I learned the value of hard work, perseverance, and honoring your commitments. I am proud to bring those values with me to the Senate every day,” Collins said of her 10,000 votes.  
“Representing the state of Maine is the honor of a lifetime, and I will continue to serve with the diligence and responsibility that Mainers deserve,” she added. 
Maine is considered a must-win state for Democrats seeking to flip the Senate and block President Trump&#8217;s second-term agenda. Collins has consistently defied conventional wisdom and political headwinds, winning four reelection campaigns with cross-over support in an increasingly polarized era.
Schumer’s praise of Collins is especially notable as Democrats bend over backwards to defend Platner as he remains entrenched in controversy. 
The Democratic Senate candidate engaged in a pattern of “intimidating and disturbing” behavior toward multiple women and lied about not knowing the meaning of his Nazi tattoo, according to a new <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2026/06/04/us/politics/platner-maine-senate-girlfriends-relationships.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share">report</a> from The New York Times citing former girlfriends.
Three of Platner’s ex-girlfriends described volatile and “toxic” relationships with the Senate hopeful, claiming he demeaned women, became physically threatening, and was repeatedly unfaithful. On one occasion, an ex-girlfriend accused Platner of twisting her arm, shoving her into a bedroom, and holding the door shut until she became “calm.” 
“It didn’t cause an injury, it didn’t break my arm,” she told the Times. 
In damage control, Platner strongly disputed claims of physical intimidation or violence. 
“There are some allegations in this piece that I just want to be kind of unequivocal about, are simply not true,” Platner said on MS NOW. “Anything alleging physicality, anything alleging that I knew what my tattoo was, these are the statements of someone who’s politically motivated.”

Yet even as Democratic leaders coalesce around Platner, fissures within the party continue to surface.
“Graham Platner is a chronic liar who is mentally disturbed, sympathetic to Nazis, and dangerous to women,” Ally Sammarco, a Democratic political consultant, said. “I’m disgusted to see members of my party make excuses for his behavior because it’s politically beneficial. He should be nowhere near our party and the U.S. Senate.

Maine Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner engaged in a pattern of “intimidating and disturbing” behavior toward multiple women and lied about not knowing the meaning of his Nazi tattoo, according to a new <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2026/06/04/us/politics/platner-maine-senate-girlfriends-relationships.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share">report</a> from The New York Times citing former girlfriends.
The Times report centers on three of Platner’s former girlfriends, who described volatile and “toxic” relationships with the Senate hopeful, claiming he demeaned women, became physically threatening, and was repeatedly unfaithful.  
Lyndsey Fifield, a Virginia conservative who dated Platner from 2013 to 2015, recalled him as “cavalierly contemptuous of women’s emotions,” according to the Times.  
Fifield also alleged that Platner knew full well the meaning behind his infamous Nazi tattoo, saying he referred to the symbol as “my Totenkopf.”
The accusation cuts against Platner&#8217;s previous claim that he did not understand the significance of the symbol, which was used by Nazi Germany&#8217;s SS.
Fifield, who has worked for Republican campaigns, also claimed that Platner regularly grabbed her by the shoulders hard enough to leave marks. She recounted an incident in which he allegedly twisted her arm behind her back, shoved her into a bedroom, and held the door shut, telling her to stay there until she was “calm.” Fifield said she eventually fell asleep and left the next morning, according to the Times. 
“It didn’t cause an injury, it didn’t break my arm,” she told the Times. 
The Platner campaign strongly disputed claims of physical intimidation, according to the Times. 
“I take responsibility for all of that, and wish I had been better,” Platner said, according to the Times. “Any characterization beyond that is false, and I believe, politically motivated. I’m not proud of who I was then, but I am proud of the work I’ve done since, and the movement we are building in Maine.”
Fifield went on to describe Platner as a troubled veteran with “warrior ethos” who would contemplate killing people he considered a threat. 
“He said this a lot: If anybody ever broke in here, I would rape them,” she recalled, saying that he added that it would not be in “a sexual way, not in a gay way.”
“He was like, I would rape them to show them that I’m dominant,” she told the Times. 
A second woman, Jenny Racicot, 41, a Maine Democrat who said she dated Platner on and off from 2019 to 2021, said his uncovered social media posts disparaging women sounded all too familiar.
“When I saw the old comments that he made online,” she said, “I recognized a version of him that I had experiences with.”
Both women agreed that the oyster farmer, who is challenging Senator Susan Collins (R-ME), has a deep disdain for women. 
Platner&#8217;s odds to pick up the seat for Democrats have <a href="https://x.com/Polymarket/status/2062619872366841873?s=20">plunged</a> in recent days, according to prediction markets. 
The new revelations come hours after leftist influencers appeared to be <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/lefty-influencers-go-into-hyperdrive-ahead-of-next-graham-platner-scandal">bracing</a> for another Platner scandal, preemptively warning their followers not to buy into the next shoe to drop.
Out of the blue, left-wing political commentator Kyle Kulinski on Thursday claimed, “The New York Times is about to run an anti-Platner smear” from a “right-wing operative.”
The Bernie Sanders-backed leftist is working overtime to salvage his campaign. Platner recently traveled to Washington to rally establishment support as waves of opposition research raise questions about his suitability to serve in the U.S. Senate.
“I&#8217;m not confident of anything,” Sen. Sanders (I-VT) said when asked about potential new Platner revelations. “I didn&#8217;t get any assurances, alright, we got other things to worry about right now. We&#8217;re worried about massive income and wealth inequality and a corrupt campaign finance system. Why don’t you write about that?”

Leftist influencers appear to be bracing for another Graham Platner scandal, preemptively warning their fan bases not to buy into the next shoe to drop.

The one-two punch appeared to cross a red line for at least one Democratic senator. 
&#8220;Well, he lied to everybody. He said that there wasn&#8217;t any after his Nazi tattoo situation, and now there&#8217;s more and more other things, so he already lied about that,” <a href="https://x.com/FoxNews/status/2062573608350744741?s=20">Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) said.</a>

U.S. Customs and Border Protection intercepted an overcrowded vessel carrying hundreds of Haitian migrants en route to the United States. 
At 2:45 p.m. on May 31, Air Interdiction Agents, who pilot airplanes and helicopters, detected a vessel about 65 nautical miles south of Turks and Caicos. The vessel, a 50-foot Haitian wooden boat, was heading north toward the islands.
On board were 240 migrants from Haiti “attempting an illegal maritime migration.” 
At 9:08 p.m., the U.S. Coast Guard reported the vessel was dead in the water. Turks and Caicos authorities declared a search and rescue case due to the risk of capsizing, <a href="https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/national-media-release/amo-aircraft-assists-turks-and-caicos-authorities-rescue-240">according to CBP. </a>
No injuries were reported.

“Our personnel helped prevent what could have been a catastrophic loss of life while stopping yet another illegal migration attempt,” CBP Commissioner Rodney Scott said. 
Of the 240 migrants onboard, there were 191 adult males, 44 adult females, and five minors. Turks and Caicos authorities helped intercept the vessel and ensured the passengers did not reach U.S. soil, according to CBP. 
“The message remains clear: illegal maritime migration is dangerous, it is not worth the risk, and you will not gain entry into the U.S.,” Scott added. 
The seizure reflects the Trump administration’s ongoing efforts to secure the border and deter illegal immigration. 
After assuming office, President Trump revoked the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) of hundreds of thousands of Haitian migrants living in the United States. The executive action is currently pending before the U.S. Supreme Court. 
The White House is also ramping up efforts to stop migrants in their tracks. 
Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin on Wednesday laid out a timeline for the completion of the U.S.-Mexico border wall. 
In a House Homeland Security Committee hearing, Mullin said DHS is on track to have a primary border wall stretching from the Pacific Ocean to the Gulf of America completed by “this time next year.”
“On the border wall, first of all, we are on track to have the primary wall done, completed from the Pacific to the Gulf of America this time next year. We’ll have all contracts out by the end of this month. And we’re having great progress,” Mullin said. 
Mullin stressed that cartels have learned how to breach and cut sections of the border wall, forcing the need for a secondary barrier to reinforce the primary wall and deter illegal crossings.

Former Trump National Security Adviser John Bolton reached a plea agreement that includes possible prison time for his handling of classified information, according to multiple reports. 
Bolton is set to plead guilty to a single felony count for retaining classified information in a private diary, the Associated Press<a href="https://apnews.com/article/bolton-justice-department-trump-classified-information-3a92a8f87521cee9a7627db53a75e9c1?taid=6a2191226ddeab0001697866&amp;utm_campaign=TrueAnthem&amp;utm_medium=AP&amp;utm_source=Twitter"> reported</a> Thursday.
Under the agreement reached with federal prosecutors, the former Trump ally turned fierce critic <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2026/06/04/bolton-guilty-plea-trump-national-security-advisor.html">faces up to 60 months in jail</a> and a $2.25 million fine. 
The agreement marks a striking reversal for Bolton, who previously denied the charges and pleaded not guilty. He had accused the federal government of political prosecution. 
“For four decades, I have devoted my life to America’s foreign policy and national security. I would never compromise those goals. I tried to do that during my tenure in the first Trump administration but resigned when it became impossible to do so,” Bolton previously said.
“Now, I have become the latest target in weaponizing the Justice Department to charge those he deems to be his enemies with charges that were declined before or distort the facts,” he added.
Trump has previously denied directing the Justice Department officials to investigate Bolton or his political enemies.
“You don’t have to instruct them because they were so dirty, they were so crooked, they were so corrupt that the honest people we have … go after them automatically,” Trump <a href="https://x.com/60Minutes/status/1985146947200569584?s=20">told</a> &#8220;60 Minutes.&#8221;
In August 2025, the FBI raided Bolton&#8217;s Maryland home and office in Washington, D.C., as part of a national security investigation, The Daily Wire reported at the time. Bureau agents seized multiple documents bearing some level of classified marking. 
“NO ONE is above the law…<a href="https://x.com/FBI"> @FBI</a> agents on mission,” FBI Director Kash Patel posted on X as the raid began. 
In October 2025, a federal grand jury returned an 18-count <a href="https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.mdd.592875/gov.uscourts.mdd.592875.1.0_3.pdf">indictment</a> against Bolton for retention and transmission of national defense information, The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/john-bolton-indicted-after-classified-documents-probe-report?author=Tim+Pearce&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=undefined&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=John+Bolton+Indicted+After+Classified+Documents+Probe">reported</a>. 
According to the indictment, Bolton used a personal email account to send classified information to unauthorized recipients, including diary-like entries. The messages, which included phrases such as <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-says-bolton-comey-james-were-so-dirty-doj-had-no-choice-but-to-prosecute?author=Tim+Pearce&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=undefined&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Trump+Says+Bolton%2C+Comey%2C+James+%E2%80%98Were+So+Dirty%E2%80%99+DOJ+Had+No+Choice+But+To+Prosecute">“More stuff coming!!!” and “None of which we talk about!!!</a>, was also hacked by Iran. He reportedly shared highly classified information with his wife and daughter
Bolton is due back in federal court on June 26.
The Daily Wire reached out to the Department of Justice for comment.

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard on Thursday shared a major health update on her husband’s aggressive cancer battle. 
The top Trump cabinet official revealed her husband, Abraham, was diagnosed with a “very rare” form of cancer called sacral chordoma. The slow-growing bone cancer typically starts in the bones of the spine or skull, according to the Mayo Clinic.  The disease can grow anywhere along the spine and mostly affects adults ages 40 to 60, with surgery as “the main treatment.” 
On Thursday, Gabbard took to X to provide an encouraging update on Abraham’s course of treatment.
“The surgery to remove bone and surrounding tissue lasted almost seven hours and was successful,” Gabbard said. “He had a rough night and is in a lot of pain, but is finally home resting.&#8221;

“Now recovery begins. We’re so grateful for the outpouring of prayers and kind messages from all of you. Our hearts are full,” she added. 
Gabbard previously shared a heartfelt message on social media as the couple headed to the hospital for surgery.

U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer accused Elon Musk of “trying to whip up division” over the murder of Henry Nowak after explosive body-camera footage that shows police handcuffing the dying college student has sparked international outrage and protests across Britain.
The uproar centers around British police handcuffing an 18-year-old finance student instead of the <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c1d2w411rgro">“weapons-obsessed”</a> Sikh man convicted of fatally stabbing him, intensifying a debate over policing and crumbling social cohesion across the pond. 
Posting on X on Tuesday, Musk wrote: “Send the video to everyone you know showing how heinously Nowak was treated by the police in his dying moments and how the police cravenly kowtowed to his murderer.” The post racked up more than 28 million views. 
“Legacy mainstream media, same ones who wrote about George Floyd millions of times, are dead silent about Nowak,” the tech billionaire added.

The embattled prime minister — the most unpopular in modern British history — accused the tech billionaire of political interference. 
“We need to also assert who we are as a country, because Musk, again, has been interfering in our politics in the last few days, trying to whip up division that is not who we are in Britain,” Starmer said. “In Britain, we are reasonable, tolerant people, and we have a terrible case like Henry&#8217;s case, Henry Nowak. We react calmly, as his family have done.”

The leftist Labour leader then touted his government’s ongoing battle against X. 
“When it comes to disgusting images on Grok. We take Grok on and fight, because that&#8217;s who we are as a country,” Starmer said. 
Starmer’s plea comes as Musk has stepped up criticism in recent days, boosting viral videos of protests and calling out left-wing governments. 
“The West has created an utterly evil state religion where an accusation of “racism” is the gravest offense that can be committed, even worse than rape or murder!” “So if police show up at a crime scene and a British boy is bleeding out and an immigrant says the British boy is racist the cops will cuff the dying British boy,” he said on social media.

“I’ve been stabbed,” Nowak told officers responding to the scene.
“I don’t think you have, mate,” one officer responded. 
&#8220;I can&#8217;t breathe,&#8221; he replied multiple times.
After collapsing, officers began emergency first aid, but it was far too late. Nowak succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead at 12:37 a.m. 
Starmer admitted the video raises questions but downplayed the mass outrage erupting in his country and around the world.
“This is a tragic case,&#8221; Starmer said. “I do think there are questions like, how do allegations of racism, accusations of racism, inform police decisions in cases like this? We do need to ask those questions. I accept that, but it&#8217;s how we conduct ourselves now that matters,” he said. 
&#8220;How we conduct ourselves now as politicians is really important,&#8221; Starmer insisted.
Nowak, who had been completing his first term studying accountancy and finance at Southampton University, had been out with friends before he was attacked. On his way home, he recorded Snapchat videos shortly before crossing paths with Digwa. In one video shown in court, Digwa can allegedly be heard saying, “I am a bad man.”

Two Department of Justice sources told The Daily Wire that the agency is not investigating former Rep. George Santos over allegations that he profited by betting against his own attendance at President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address.
Kalshi appears to be investigating Santos, but reports that federal prosecutors have launched a criminal investigation following the company&#8217;s referral are false, sources told The Daily Wire.
<a href="https://www.npr.org/2026/06/02/nx-s1-5843371/george-santos-kalshi-insider-trading-investigation">NPR first reported</a> that Kalshi referred Santos to federal authorities after the former congressman allegedly profited by wagering that he would not attend the February speech.
The controversy stems from a <a href="https://x.com/georgesantos/status/2026058999309701294?s=46">February 23 video</a> in which the former congressman told followers, “I’m going to be there for the State of the Union in the gallery, guys,” one day before Trump’s primetime address.

Kalshi prediction traders were spending millions of dollars worth of bets on who would attend, according to NPR. Santos’ video increased the odds of his attendance, until he didn’t show up. 
&#8220;Watching SOTU from an airport tv was not part of the plan! FML,&#8221; Santos posted on the night of the speech.

NPR reported that Santos bet against his own attendance at the State of the Union, despite publicly indicating he planned to be there, drawing scrutiny from the prediction market.
Kalshi reportedly blocked his account and referred the case to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and the DOJ, the outlet reported. 
On social media, Santos pleaded with reporters to stop reaching him for comment, calling the accusations “preposterous.” 
“To the 100’s of reporters calling me through the night. Stop! My legal team and I were made aware by a report from NPR yesterday that the DOJ might be looking into me. So now my legal team is in contact with the DOJ to see what is going on,” Santos said. 
“I will comment further when appropriate and clarify everything accordingly while being mindful and respectful of any process that might be underway,” he added. “The bases of the accusation is preposterous and I look forward to supplying any information asked of me to any agency that inquires, till then media please do not inquire.”

The latest scandal surrounding Santos comes months after President Donald Trump last October handed Santos a second chance at life and commuted his 87-month federal prison sentence. 
A GOP-led House Ethics Committee report accused Santos of stealing campaign donors’ money to spend on Botox, OnlyFans, and other items, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-commutes-sentence-of-former-gop-rep-george-santos">The Daily Wire previously reported.</a>
The New York Republican pleaded guilty to aggravated identity theft and wire fraud charges related to his 2022 campaign and became the 6th member in U.S. history to be expelled from the House. 
“George has been in solitary confinement for long stretches of time and, by all accounts, has been horribly mistreated. Therefore, I just signed a Commutation, releasing George Santos from prison, IMMEDIATELY.

DOJ Denies Report It’s Investigating George Santos

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin on Wednesday laid out a timeline for the completion of the U.S.-Mexico border wall. 
In a House Homeland Security Committee hearing, Mullin said DHS is on track to have a primary border wall stretching from the Pacific Ocean to the Gulf of America completed by &#8220;this time next year.&#8221;
“On the border wall, first of all, we are on track to have the primary wall done, completed from the Pacific to the Gulf of America this time next year. We&#8217;ll have all contracts out by the end of this month. And we&#8217;re having great progress,” Mullin said.

Mullin stressed that cartels have learned how to breach and cut sections of the border wall, forcing the need for a secondary barrier to reinforce the primary wall and deter illegal crossings. 
“So we&#8217;re putting 150 foot some places, sometimes smaller than that, for a secondary wall that they got to go over, plus a smart wall, which will tell us approximately how many people are there. If they&#8217;re carrying a pack, they&#8217;re not carrying a pack,” he added. “The smart wall is pretty, pretty impressive. We can put a drone in the sky to immediately keep eyes on them.”

Mullin predicted the agency should complete the second wall barrier by the summer of 2028. During the Biden administration, Border Patrol agents saw a daily average of 5,110 illegal migrants cross the border, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/how-trump-closed-the-border-in-2025">The Daily Wire previously reported.</a>
Under President Trump’s second term, illegal border crossings have fallen to historic lows, and the GOP-led &#8220;Big Beautiful Bill&#8221; unlocked funding for enhanced border security reinforcements.  
The routine hearing on Capitol Hill turned contentious when a Michigan Democratic congressman asked Mullin about the &#8220;great replacement theory.&#8221;  
&#8220;When will you stop DHS from using its social media accounts to spread bigoted and racist words and imagery, promoting great replacement theory?&#8221; Rep. Shri Thanedar (D-MI) asked Mullin. 
&#8220;It&#8217;s interesting how you make those claims and give no facts, but yet your party&#8217;s the one that&#8217;s supporting the guy that&#8217;s got a Nazi tattoo on his chest in Maine,” the DHS chief replied. 
“I have the facts,” Thanedar insisted. 
“There [are] no facts. You throw out nationalism and Nazism, and that&#8217;s exactly what causes the hatred and violence that happens to our officers every single day, and you should be ashamed of using that,” Mullin fired back.
