Footage has emerged from the moments after former NFL quarterback Mark Sanchez was involved in a stabbing incident in Indianapolis, early Saturday morning.
Sanchez, who suffered serious injuries, was subsequently arrested and charged with battery for his role in the incident.
According to the footage, which was <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/10/06/sports/bloody-mark-sanchez-seen-stumbling-down-indianapolis-sidewalk-after-being-stabbed-in-fight-with-grease-truck-driver/">obtained</a> by the New York Post, Sanchez appears bloodied and stumbling along a sidewalk and clutching the right side of his lower chest.
The former QB reportedly stumbled from an alleyway into a nearby bar, where paramedics were called. He was treated for stab wounds that initially left him in critical condition. By Saturday, it was confirmed by Fox Sports that Sanchez was in stable condition and recovering.

After initial reports indicated Sanchez could be the victim of a random stabbing incident, subsequent reporting revealed that he allegedly punched a 69-year-old truck driver outside of a bar, which led to a bloody escalation. The altercation was apparently sparked over a parking dispute.
Sanchez was arrested and charged in the incident, and is now <a href="https://fox59.com/news/indycrime/former-nfl-qb-mark-sanchez-charged-after-surveillance-video-shows-alleged-fight-in-downtown-indy-alley/">facing</a> misdemeanor criminal charges of Battery Resulting in Injury, Public Intoxication, and Unlawful Entry of a Motor Vehicle.
Witnesses say Sanchez’s behavior was erratic and that he seemed intoxicated prior to the incident. In apparent self-defense, the victim stabbed Sanchez. The truck driver was hospitalized with severe facial wounds, but is now stable, according to a statement from his family.

President Donald Trump’s latest move to confront rising lawlessness and attacks on federal immigration agents in Chicago is the deployment of 300 Illinois National Guard troops, prompting Democrat Governor JB Pritzker to hyperventilate over “Trump’s Invasion.”
“We must now start calling this what it is: Trump’s Invasion,” Pritzker stated, according to the <a href="https://www.chicagotribune.com/2025/10/05/president-trump-calling-up-300-illinois-national-guard-immediately-to-protect-ice-buildings-for-60-days/?lctg=B4845491D5F64499A4E4B513EB&amp;utm_email=B4845491D5F64499A4E4B513EB&amp;utm_source=listrak&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_term=https%3a%2f%2fwww.chicagotribune.com%2f2025%2f10%2f05%2fpresident-trump-calling-up-300-illinois-national-guard-immediately-to-protect-ice-buildings-for-60-days%2f&amp;utm_campaign=trib-chicago_tribune-breaking_news-nl&amp;utm_content=alert">Chicago Tribune</a>, which reported that War Secretary Pete Hegseth sent a memo instructing Illinois National Guard leadership to deploy the troops to the Chicago region for at least 60 days. “It started with federal agents, it will soon include deploying federalized members of the Illinois National Guard against our wishes, and it will now involve sending in another state’s military troops,” Pritzker declared.
The White House has stated that the National Guard troops will protect federal personnel and property—like ICE facilities—where violent demonstrations are either happening or expected. The memo calls for protecting federal law enforcement officials who are “performing Federal functions.”
Meanwhile, the Texas Guard is preparing to deploy hundreds more National Guard troops to Illinois.
Trump has been blunt about the situation in the Chicago area, saying, “Everybody knows Chicago is a hellhole right now.” The city is drowning in violent crime, and federal ICE agents have been under attack. In September, rioters surrounded ICE vehicles in Broadview, Illinois, threw tear gas, and even slashed tires in a protest against ICE. The Trump administration rolled out “Operation Midway Blitz,” which scooped up hundreds of illegal immigrants with criminal backgrounds—gang members, murderers, and sex offenders.

Pritzker said over the weekend that he would refuse to deploy the state’s National Guard, stating that a federal deployment would be illegal, and has threatened to file a lawsuit to stop it, citing the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878.
Trump’s justification to federalize the National Guard comes from the U.S. Code, specifically 10 U.S.C. § 12406, which states:” “Whenever (1) the United States, or any of the Commonwealths or possessions, is invaded or is in danger of invasion by a foreign nation; (2) there is a rebellion or danger of a rebellion against the authority of the Government of the United States; or (3) the President is unable with the regular forces to execute the laws of the United States; then the President may call into Federal service members and units of the National Guard of any State in such numbers as he considers necessary to repel the invasion, suppress the rebellion, or execute those laws.”
On Sunday, Trump said, “I believe the politicians are under threat, because there’s no way somebody can say that things are wonderful in Chicago. There’s no city in the world like that. We’re going to straighten it out. And I think that Pritzker, he’s not a stupid person. I think that Pritzker is afraid for his life,” hinting that Pritzker was beholden to organizations the Trump administration believes support the protests over increased immigration enforcement.
In Oregon, a federal judge blocked President Trump’s effort to deploy California National Guard troops to Portland after previously issuing a restraining order halting the Oregon Guard deployment. Trump fired back, calling the judge “shameful” and insisting that cities like Portland and Chicago are “burning” and in desperate need of federal assistance.

The FBI arrested two individuals on Saturday after they allegedly rammed their vehicles into a Customs and Border Protection (CBP) vehicle in Chicago, triggering a shooting.
Marimar Martinez, 31, and Anthony Ian Santos, 21, were charged Sunday after federal authorities said they struck and boxed in a CBP vehicle to prevent it from escaping. Both were charged with forcibly assaulting, impeding, and interfering with a federal law enforcement officer.
The incident occurred on Saturday morning as three CBP agents, driving a silver Chevrolet Tahoe, were acting as a mobile security detail for an immigration enforcement operation near southwest Chicago. While working the operation, a “convoy of civilian vehicles” started following them, <a href="https://www.justice.gov/usao-ndil/media/1415966/dl?inline=">according</a> to a criminal complaint.  
Those vehicles ran red lights, blew by stop signs, and broke traffic laws to follow the Border Patrol vehicle. The complaint added that Martinez could be heard referring to those in the Border Patrol vehicle as &#8220;la migra,&#8221; which is derogatory slang for immigration enforcement officers. 

“The convoy of civilian vehicles followed the BPAs closely and pursued the BPAs aggressively, culminating in MARTINEZ, in the Martinez Vehicle, and RUIZ, in the Ruiz Vehicle, driving into and striking the CBP Vehicle on both the driver’s and passenger’s side, respectively, leading to a temporary loss of control of the CBP Vehicle. In addition, once the CBP Vehicle had stopped and the BPAs exited the CBP Vehicle, MARTINEZ drove the Martinez Vehicle at BPA 1,” the complaint said. 
After being struck and boxed in by the vehicles, one of the Border Patrol agents exited the Tahoe and fired five shots at the car driven by Martinez, the complaint said. The two vehicles then fled the scene. 
Martinez was arrested at a repair shop and taken to a hospital to be treated for gunshot wounds, while Ruiz was arrested at a gas station. 
FBI Director Kash Patel announced the arrests on Sunday. 
“Attack our law enforcement, and this FBI will find you and bring you to justice,” Patel <a href="https://x.com/FBIDirectorKash/status/1975001981828931752">wrote</a> on X.

That incident followed a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/exclusive-illegal-aliens-ram-cars-into-ice-agents-in-two-separate-attacks-dhs-says?author=Leif+Le+Mahieu&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=4&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=EXCLUSIVE%3A+Illegal+Aliens+Ram+Cars+Into+ICE+Agents+In+Two+Separate+Attacks%2C+DHS+Says">pair of car rammings</a> earlier in the week targeting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, who were also conducting operations in the Chicago area. 
In the first instance, Miguel Escareno De Loera, an illegal alien from Mexico, rammed his car into an ICE vehicle twice before jumping a curb and crashing into a stop in Norridge, Illinois, according to the Department of Homeland Security.  
In the second attack, Widman Osberto Lopez-Funes, an illegal alien from Guatemala, slammed his vehicle into ICE agents during an enforcement operation before running on foot to his home in Bensenville, DHS said. He was later taken into custody.

In just the latest attack on U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, officers in Chicago were targeted in an apparently coordinated strike on Saturday morning.
According to Assistant Secretary Dept. of Homeland Security Tricia McLaughlin, officers were &#8220;rammed by vehicles and boxed in by 10 cars&#8221; and agents were forced to exit their vehicles on foot.
&#8220;One of the drivers who rammed the law enforcement vehicle was armed with a semi-automatic weapon,&#8221; McLaughlin explained. &#8220;Law enforcement was forced to deploy their weapons and fire defensive shots at an armed U.S. citizen who drove herself to the hospital to get care for wounds.&#8221;
The armed woman in question was already on Border Patrol&#8217;s radar after she recently doxxed agents and posted online, &#8220;Hey to all my gang let’s f*** those mother f***ers up, don’t let them take anyone,&#8221; according to the assistant secretary.
McLaughlin said &#8220;no law enforcement officers were seriously injured&#8221; in the attack, while noting that the Chicago Police Department refused to assist ICE to secure the area.
&#8220;[Democrat Gov. JB] Pritzker&#8217;s Chicago Police Department is leaving the shooting scene and refuses to assist us in securing the area,&#8221; she posted to X. &#8220;There is a growing crowd and we are deploying special operations to control the scene.&#8221;

Illinois is a sanctuary state for illegals, and Chicago, specifically, refuses to work with federal law enforcement on immigration matters. Gov. Pritzker has repeatedly railed against President Donald Trump for trying to effectively enforce immigration laws in his state. 
Additionally, just days ago, the governor ratcheted up his rhetoric against ICE agents, calling them &#8220;<a href="https://www.notus.org/illinois/jb-pritzker-ice-immigration-chicago-raids-federal-agents-troops">jackbooted thugs</a>&#8221; and accusing them of intentionally &#8220;causing chaos and mayhem&#8221; in Chicago so Trump can deploy troops.

Notably, a day before Saturday&#8217;s attack, ICE agents were blocked by protesters and one man tossed a tear gas canister toward officers.

Pritzker did not comment on the recent attacks on ICE. Instead, he took to X to again lash out at Trump for trying to send in the National Guard to tackle Chicago&#8217;s rampant, violent crime and assist with immigration efforts.
&#8220;This morning, the Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will,&#8221; the governor said. &#8220;It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.&#8221;

&#8220;In the coming hours, the Trump Administration intends to federalize 300 members of the Illinois National Guard,&#8221; Pritzker argued. &#8220;They will pull hardworking Americans out of their regular jobs and away from their families all to participate in a manufactured performance &#8212; not a serious effort [to] protect public safety.

Former NFL quarterback and current Fox Sports analyst Mark Sanchez was charged with battery after a fight in downtown Indianapolis that left him hospitalized with stab wounds on Saturday shortly after midnight, police and the TV network said.
Indianapolis police charged Sanchez, 38, with battery with injury, unlawful entry of a motor vehicle and public intoxication, all misdemeanors. Sanchez is still in the hospital and was not booked in the county jail, police said in a statement, adding that final decisions on charges will be made by the Marion County Prosecutor’s Office.
The prosecutor’s office did not immediately return a request for comment.
An earlier statement from Indianapolis police said two men were in a “physical disturbance” in downtown Indianapolis around 12:30 a.m., with one receiving stab wounds and the other cuts. A statement from Fox Sports said Sanchez was in stable condition in the hospital.

Police said the fight was “an isolated incident between the two men and not a random act of violence.” The other man’s name was not released. Indianapolis police do not identify victims or suspects “unless the suspect is arrested, charged or being sought,” the statement said.
Sanchez played 10 seasons in the NFL, starting with the New York Jets for five years before short stints with several other franchises. He has not played in the National Football League since 2018.
He was slated to cover the Sunday game between the Indianapolis Colts and the Las Vegas Raiders, according to Fox Sports. “We are deeply grateful to the medical team for their exceptional care and support,” the network said in a statement posted on X.
“Sending our thoughts and love to Mark Sanchez and his family. Hoping for a speedy recovery, 6,” said the Jets, referencing his jersey number.

Star NFL QB-Turned-Announcer Stabbed, Hospitalized With Critical Injuries

An Indiana man accused of breaking into a home and stabbing a family, including the brutal, fatal stabbing of 6-year-old Logan Tipton, is now a free man.
In 2018, Ronald Exantus was found not guilty by reason of insanity in the gruesome murder of Tipton, who was forcefully stabbed repeatedly in the head. The jury, though, found him guilty but mentally ill on assault charges. He was sentenced to 20 years behind bars.
This past week, however, Exantus was released from prison after serving only eight years. He&#8217;s set to serve six months of parole in Florida.
Notably, the defense team admitted during trial that Exantus committed the murder, and the victim&#8217;s father, Dean Tipton, witnessed the attack and held down Exantus until police arrived on scene. Two of Tipton&#8217;s sisters and Dean were stabbed and injured during the attack.
Tipton&#8217;s sister, Koral, recalled waking up to her brother&#8217;s screams on the night of the attack, December 7, 2015, in their Kentucky home. &#8220;All I could see was a man, a big man, over top of him, stabbing him,&#8221; she <a href="https://fox56news.com/news/local/kentucky-family-speaks-out-after-man-accused-of-killing-6-year-old-boy-released-early-from-prison-its-infuriating/">said</a> to FOX56.
Dean fought to save his son, but was thrown across the room. &#8220;He snaps, just snaps, and stands up with me sitting on top of him, and he throws me across the room,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I mean, maybe 10-15 feet he throws me across the room and goes after [Koral].&#8221;
Dean said he held his dying boy in his arms that night. “He was gasping for air; I was holding him deep in my arms. And finally, he took his last breath, looked at me, closed his eyes, and he was gone,&#8221; the father said.
“It’s infuriating that a six-year-old was killed sleeping in his bed, and someone literally only did ten years in prison, and he didn’t even do the time for that. He did time for assault charges. It’s just infuriating,” Heather Tipton, the boy&#8217;s mother, said.
As for Dean, he now feels fear for his whole family, and says he&#8217;ll kill Exantus if he ever has the chance.
&#8220;He told he was going to kill every one of us,” Dean said. “So now, I’ve got to be on extra guard to protect my kids because I will not lose another one, not like this.”
“I’ve had my talks with God cause I’m not afraid to tell you all, I told the court — if I ever cross paths with him, I will kill the man. I will kill him where he stands,” the father added, <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/10/03/us-news/father-of-slain-6-year-old-issues-threat-to-sons-killer-who-was-freed-after-serving-8-years/">speaking</a> to WKYT.

Syrian-born terrorist Jihad Al-Shamie was awaiting trial on rape charges when he killed two people in a Yom Kippur synagogue attack in England on Thursday, U.K. outlets reported.
Al-Shamie, 35, was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/yom-kippur-carnage-knife-wielding-attacker-kills-2-outside-synagogue?author=Leif+Le+Mahieu&amp;category=undefined&amp;elementPosition=29&amp;row=3&amp;rowHeadline=Latest+News&amp;rowType=Vertical+Carousel&amp;title=Yom+Kippur+Carnage%3A+Knife-Wielding+Attacker+Kills+2+Outside+Synagogue">shot</a> dead by law enforcement minutes after he rammed his car into a crowd outside the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue in Manchester and attacked worshippers with a knife during the holiest Jewish holiday of the year, leaving two dead and three seriously injured.
The Syrian native, who moved to the U.K. as a teenager, was due to appear in court for a rape understood to have taken place earlier this year in Manchester, according to the Telegraph.
“He was on nobody’s radar for terrorism, but he definitely had a criminal record, though nothing to suggest he was going to do anything like this,” a police source <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/oct/03/manchester-synagogue-terrorist-was-on-bail-for-alleged">told</a> The Guardian.
But Al-Shamie had sent death threats to Conservative parliament member John Howell in 2012 after the MP defended Israel’s right to self-defense, requiring Howell to employ police protection. One email from Jihad Al-Shamie read, “It is people like you who deserve to die,” the Telegraph <a href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/10/03/manchester-synagogue-attack-latest-news-victims-named/">reported</a>.
Al-Shamie’s father had previously praised Hamas after the terror group’s October 7, 2023, massacre of 1,200 Israelis, the New York Post <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/10/03/world-news/uk-terrorist-jihad-al-shamie-was-on-bail-for-rape-when-attacked-synagogue-on-yom-kippur/?utm_source=twitter&amp;utm_campaign=nypost&amp;utm_medium=social">reported</a>.
In the hours and days following the attack, Islamists and anti-Israel activists flooded U.K. streets, calling for Israel’s destruction and setting off fireworks.

The synagogue attack comes weeks after the U.K. Labour government <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2025/sep/29/labour-party-conference-vote-israel-genocide-gaza?utm_source=chatgpt.com">accused</a> Israel of committing genocide in the Gaza Strip, a move many have pointed to as potentially <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/this-attack-is-on-you-fury-at-britains-security-boss-after-synagogue-bloodshed?author=Hank+Berrien&amp;category=undefined&amp;elementPosition=11&amp;row=3&amp;rowHeadline=Latest+News&amp;rowType=Vertical+Carousel&amp;title=%E2%80%98This+Attack+Is+On+You%E2%80%99%3A+Fury+At+Britain%E2%80%99s+Security+Boss+After+Synagogue+Bloodshed">fueling</a> further hatred toward Jews.

Leader of the U.K. Reform Party Nigel Farage echoed these sentiments, condemning both the street celebrations and the Starmer government’s weak response.
“The whole Jewish community in Britain [is] now deeply fearful. Within just a few hours of this horrific incident, we saw … pro-Palestinian flags on the streets, people out, previously unplanned, demonstrating. But here’s the truth of it, they weren&#8217;t demonstrating, they were actually celebrating,” Farage <a href="https://x.com/Nigel_Farage/status/1974050674980606056">said</a> on X. “I can&#8217;t even imagine we’ve ever seen such vile scenes on our streets, certainly not in my lifetime.”
Farage blasted British Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood, a staunch anti-Israel activist, for her tepid response to the violence against Jews.
“In response to this, the Home Secretary, Shabana Mahmood, says she’s disappointed. Disappointed. That’s the most the Home Secretary can say,” Farage continued. “Well, I hope all of you watching this video are outraged, outraged, and frankly frightened. This is broken Britain. This is evidence of societal breakdown. It is deeply worrying and very frightening.”
Farage also criticized Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s recent recognition of a Palestinian state and warned about an upcoming protest planned for Saturday in London.
“There is a big, big march planned in London this Saturday. And I think the only way we can describe it is a hate march,” Farage said. “I must admit, saying this now to you today, I feel more worried about the state of broken Britain than I ever have before.”

Sean &#8220;Diddy&#8221; Combs was sentenced to over four years in prison on Friday by Judge Arun Subramanian following the rap mogul&#8217;s July conviction on federal prostitution charges.
Prior to the sentence being read, Judge Subramanian <a href="https://x.com/innercitypress/status/1974210630392377453?s=19" target="_blank" rel="noopener">stated</a> in part: &#8220;A history of good works can&#8217;t wash away the record in this case. You abused these women. You used that abuse to get your way, freak-offs and hotel nights. The evidence of the abuse is massive. I was sitting right here, during the testimony &#8230; This was subjugation &#8212; that is the reality of what happened. These offenses irreparably harmed two women. You plied them with drugs. Why did it happen so long? You had the power and resources to keep it going.&#8221;
After reading the sentence, the judge thanked the woman &#8220;who came forward: Ms. Ventura and Jane, you&#8217;ve been through trauma we can&#8217;t imagine.&#8221;
&#8220;As Doctor King taught us, out of the mountain of despair, a stone of hope. Mr. Combs, your mom writes that you have always been a good son. The same power that enabled you to hurt these women, you could use to help,&#8221; Judge Subramanian concluded, adding that a $500,000 fine would be imposed as well. &#8220;Adjourned.&#8221;
In a lengthy statement before the sentencing, Combs said in part: &#8220;I hate myself right now. I&#8217;ve been stripped down to nothing. I want to apologize to my seven children &#8212; I&#8217;m so sorry. You deserve better. &#8230; I&#8217;m not a bad person. I&#8217;m sorry to my community; I let y&#8217;all down. People can change; I know I&#8217;ve changed.&#8221;
&#8220;I beg your Honor for mercy, to be a father again, to be a son again,&#8221; he added.
The sentencing comes after the convicted rap mogul wrote a letter to the judge begging for leniency ahead of his sentencing on Friday. In the four-page letter, Diddy blamed his behavior on drug addiction and apologized &#8220;for all of the hurt and pain that I have caused.&#8221;
&#8220;I lost my way,&#8221; he wrote in part. &#8220;My downfall was rooted in my selfishness. I have been humbled and broken to my core.&#8221;
Combs was found guilty of two prostitution charges in July and was facing up to 20 years in prison. He was acquitted of the more serious charges of sex trafficking and racketeering.
Prosecutors wanted to see the rapper behind bars for at least 11 years, but Combs&#8217; lawyers petitioned for him to be released later this month. Prosecutors called Diddy &#8220;unrepentant.&#8221;
&#8220;The defendant tries to recast decades of abuse as simply the function of mutually toxic relationships,&#8221; prosecutors wrote in a September filing. &#8220;But there is nothing mutual about a relationship where one person holds all the power and the other ends up bloodied and bruised.&#8221;

The federal investigation into Combs gained national attention earlier this year when raids on his Los Angeles and Miami properties yielded large amounts of electronic devices, reportedly containing potential evidence connected to the charges. Prosecutors alleged that Combs orchestrated a network of parties and events where women were trafficked and abused. Meanwhile, the rapper claimed that his sexual exploits were unorthodox but fully consensual.
Beyond the courtroom, the fallout has already impacted Combs’ vast business empire. This has led to speculation about whether his music legacy can survive the scandal.
Many critics were furious that Combs was acquitted of the more serious charges.
After the verdict was delivered, Combs appeared to celebrate the jury’s decision that acquitted him on several of the charges. He raised his hands in a prayer motion and then hugged one of his defense attorneys, Teny Geragos.
His lawyer also said Diddy received a standing ovation from fellow inmates following the conclusion of the trial.

In a moment that should send shockwaves through the open borders establishment, an alleged second figure tied to the brutal Sinaloa Cartel confirmed: President Donald Trump’s aggressive border and anti-smuggling strategy is working — and the cartels are feeling the heat.
In a revealing new report from CNN, a senior leader of the Sinaloa Cartel sat down with journalist David Culver for a rare interview. Hidden behind layers of anonymity — black mask, sunglasses, gloves, and hat — the confessed killer and trafficker revealed how Trump’s policy shift has impacted one of the world’s most dangerous criminal organizations.
Asked point-blank if President Trump’s actions have made business more difficult for drug cartels, the man responded without hesitation, “Oh yeah. Yeah.” When pressed, he repeated, “Yes.”
CNN’s reporting also revealed that cartels are jacking up prices to smuggle migrants into the United States because of Trump’s crackdown. What used to cost $6,500 now runs close to $10,000 per person, pricing many migrants out of the black market border business. Those who can’t afford the fee? They’re often forced into debt bondage, working for the cartels to pay off what they owe.

It doesn’t stop there. The masked figure revealed how cartels are increasingly turning to American teenagers on social media — recruiting young, impressionable American citizens into their operations as transporters and lookouts. As Trump’s administration deploys more resources to border enforcement, the cartels are shifting tactics, growing more desperate, and scraping the bottom of the barrel to keep operations running.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
This latest cartel admission comes just weeks after Margarito “Jay” Flores Jr., the former top U.S. distributor for the Sinaloa Cartel under El Chapo, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/former-chicago-kingpin-trump-doing-great-job-targeting-mexican-drug-cartels?utm_source=chatgpt.com">praised</a> Trump’s war on cartels in a separate interview.
Flores, who helped federal authorities take down El Chapo and whose face remains blurred for his safety, said, “I believe that the Trump administration is doing a great job … I don’t believe that the Chapo faction or the Mayo Zambada faction will last another year.”
Flores noted that more arrests and prosecutions have occurred in the last year than in the previous 25, emphasizing that the Trump administration’s approach isn’t just noise — it’s action. He predicted the collapse of major criminal networks, such as CJNG, if this level of pressure continues. “By the time the president’s term is over, the landscape of Mexico and the drug cartels is going to look very, very different,” Flores concluded.
Trump’s recent move to deploy the U.S. military for anti-cartel operations, treating cartels as foreign terrorist organizations, marks an unprecedented escalation in America’s fight against these criminal syndicates. And the message from inside the enemy’s camp is clear: It’s working.
In contrast to the permissive border policies of the Biden years — which saw record crossings, fentanyl floods, and a cartel boom — Trump’s return to law and order is forcing the cartels to adapt, pay more, and ultimately lose control.
The Sinaloa Cartel leader’s clearest message was simple: Trump is hurting the cartels. And they know it.

A deadly car and knife attack outside a synagogue in England left two people dead Thursday, coinciding with Yom Kippur observances worldwide.
The killings took place outside the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue in Manchester. At least three other people were seriously injured, and the suspected assailant is believed to have been shot dead by law enforcement. <a href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/10/02/manchester-synagogue-stabbing-police/">According</a> to The Telegraph, &#8220;Police said it had &#8216;declared Plato&#8217; &#8211; the national code-word used by police and emergency services when responding to a &#8216;marauding terror attack.'&#8221;
Police <a href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/10/02/manchester-synagogue-stabbing-police/">said</a> they could not currently confirm the attacker&#8217;s death “due to safety issues” surrounding “suspicious items on his person.” The attacker appears to have been wearing a suicide vest, and a bomb squad responded to the scene. He was reportedly lying on the ground outside the synagogue after being shot by police. 
Witnesses described a man driving his car into the synagogue’s gates before getting out and stabbing people around him. The doors to the synagogue were barricaded, and the attacker was unable to enter, The Telegraph reported.

“I’m appalled by the attack at a synagogue in Crumpsall,” British Prime Minister Keir Starmer <a href="https://x.com/Keir_Starmer/status/1973691472235925514">said</a>. “The fact that this has taken place on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar, makes it all the more horrific.”
He <a href="https://x.com/Keir_Starmer/status/1973708343714652546">said</a> that additional police resources would be deployed to synagogues nationwide. Starmer also added that he was leaving a meeting in Denmark to return to London for an emergency cabinet meeting.

The Israeli Embassy in the United Kingdom said that it was in close contact with the Jewish community in Manchester. The northwest English city is home to around 30,000 Jews. 
“That such an act of violence should be perpetrated on the holiest day of the Jewish calendar, in a place of prayer and community, is abhorrent and deeply distressing,” the embassy said. “We thank the Greater Manchester Police for their swift response. The safety and security of Jewish communities in the United Kingdom must be guaranteed.”
King Charles also condemned the killings. 
“My wife and I have been deeply saddened and shocked to learn of the horrific attack in Manchester, especially on such a significant day for the Jewish community,” he said.

At a House Judiciary Field Hearing in Charlotte, North Carolina, on Monday, Steve Federico didn’t just testify — he erupted. His voice, shaking with fury and loss, laid bare the failure of a justice system that allowed a repeat violent offender to walk free — until he executed Federico’s daughter, Logan Federico, in cold blood.
“My daughter was Logan Federico,” he began. “She was 22. Visiting friends at the University of South Carolina.” But what began as a description quickly became an indictment — not just of one man, Alexander Devonte Dickey, but of a system that let him remain free.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

Alexander Dickey, who was arrested for allegedly shooting and killing 22yo Logan Federico during a home burglary, had an EXTENSIVE criminal history consisting of nearly 40 CHARGES which include strong-armed robbery, grand larceny, and drug possession.

As Federico noted, Dickey had 39 arrests and 25 felonies, yet had spent just over 600 days in prison over a ten-year span. “He should have been in jail for over 140 years,” Federico accused. “He should have been in jail for over 140 years for all the crimes he committed. You know how much time he spent in prison? A little over 600 days in 10 years.&#8221;
Federico painted a harrowing scene — his daughter dragged from her bed, naked, forced onto her knees, hands raised, begging for her life. “Begging for her hero — me — that couldn’t be there,” he choked out. “She was five-foot-three. She weighed 115 pounds.&#8221;
“Bye,” he thundered. “Dead. Gone.”

The room fell silent, but Federico kept going, hammering the point home: “He was committing 2.65 crimes a year since he was 15 years old, but nobody could figure out that he couldn’t be rehabilitated?” He wasn’t just angry at Dickey. He was furious at prosecutors, judges, and lawmakers who, in his view, allowed monsters to roam free.
One target of his outrage was Barry Gipson, South Carolina’s Fifth Judicial Circuit Court Solicitor, whom Federico claimed hadn’t reached out once in the four months since Logan’s murder. “And I haven’t heard a damn word from Barry Gipson in South Carolina,” Federico said with disgust. “Not one word. Four months, no communication. His biggest concern was that he was pissed off at my interview and how I made him look on the Fox News channel.”
Federico’s daughter wanted to be a teacher. She figured it out, her father said, just two weeks before she was executed. “You will not forget her,” he vowed. “You will be sick and tired of my face and my voice until this gets fixed.”
The House hearing was meant to address rising crime and repeat offenders, but Federico’s speech turned it into a moment of reckoning. While Democrats called for more resources for prosecutors, Republicans pointed to a systemic failure of accountability. Rep. Dan Bishop (R-NC) <a href="https://www.qcnews.com/charlotte/bangdeadgone-father-of-slain-waxhaw-college-student-speaks-out-at-charlotte-crime-hearing-but-lawmakers-remain-divided/">declared</a>, “This is not a money issue — this is a policy issue.”
Federico agreed. “You have the power. We put you into power to do what you have to do. We’re asking you. We’re begging you all to stop this.”
In his closing, Federico reminded lawmakers how long his daughter’s body lay on the floor — seven hours — before anyone realized she was dead. The killer? Off using her debit card. “And that pure criminal? An hour later, went on a spending spree with her debit card. When they saw his face on a video, they didn’t have to do a check. He was arrested so many times they knew who he was. They knew exactly where to go get him.”
“Pathetic,” Federico said. “Absolutely pathetic that I’m even here today.”
Federico — a grieving father turned reluctant activist — declared war on a justice system that let his daughter’s killer roam free, declaring: “You woke up a beast. You pissed off the wrong daddy.”
And America heard.

Complete transcript below:
My daughter was Logan Federico. She was 22, visiting friends at the University of South Carolina. I know y’all have kids. I’m just curious. Here’s what I need you to do. When I tell you this story, think about your kids. Think about your child coming home from a night out with their friends. Laying down, going to sleep. Feeling somebody come into the room and wake them, and drag her out of bed, naked, forced on her knees, with her hands over her head, begging for her life. Begging for her hero, her father. Me, that couldn’t be there. She was five-foot-three, she weighed 115 pounds.
Bye! Dead. Gone. Why? Because Alexander Devonte Dickey, who was arrested 39 godd*** times, 25 felonies, was on the street. How about that. How good are we doing for our family? How good are you doing for your kids? He should have been in jail for over 140 years for all the crimes he committed. You know how much time he spent in prison? A little over 600 days in 10 years. He’s only 30 years old. He was committing 2.65 crimes a year since he was 15 years old but nobody could figure out that he couldn’t be rehabilitated? Well, you’d have to put him in prison to see if he could be rehabilitated. Isn’t that the idea of prison? But no.
My daughter wanted to be a teacher; she finally figured it out two weeks before she was executed. And I haven’t heard a damn word from Barry Gipson (South Carolina’s Fifth Judicial Circuit Court Solicitor) in South Carolina. Not one word. Four months, no communication. His biggest concern was that he was pissed off at my interview and how I made him look on the Fox News channel with Trey Gowdy. How pathetic is that, that we’re letting our 22-year-old kid visiting friends — it’s all she ever wanted to do was visit friends — and she literally was executed while on her knees, begging for her life. Her name’s Logan Federico. Not Iryna.
And you will not forget her, I promise you. You will be sick and tired of my face and my voice until this gets fixed. I will fight until my last breath for my daughter. You need to fight for the rest of our children, the rest of the innocents and stop protecting the people that keep taking them from us. Please. You have the power. We put you into power to do what you have to do. We’re asking you. We’re begging you all to stop this.
39 crimes in ten years; 25 felonies. Can anybody here explain to me how possibly he could be on the street? Possibly be on the street? How is it possible? I could sit down every night and explain the whole process of how it failed, how South Carolina failed Logan, how lack of communication &#8230;
What y’all did? You woke up a beast. And you pissed off the wrong daddy. Because I’m gonna put it out there. And I’m not gonna be quiet until somebody helps. Logan deserves to be heard. Everyone on this panel deserves to be heard. And we will. Trust me. My daughter laid on that floor for seven hours before somebody in that house recognized that something was wrong. And that pure criminal? An hour later, went on a spending spree with her debit card. When they saw his face on a video, they didn’t have to do a check. He was arrested so many times they knew who he was. They knew exactly where to go get him. Pathetic. Absolutely pathetic that I am here today. Thank you for your time.
