Within seconds, several officers pull her toward the entrance of the facility as others move to hold back the crowd. Protesters can be heard yelling as the confrontation unfolds, and pepper spray is deployed.
TPUSA Frontlines told Fox News Digital that the woman “crossed the line ICE does not want them passing” and appeared to make contact with an officer before she was detained. Frontlines added that the crowd was expected to grow later in the evening once the rain cleared.

In a statement to Fox News Digital, Portland Police Bureau confirmed two arrests connected to Saturday’s protests.
“PPB has arrested two people for crimes committed today. I do not have names or charges yet. The officers haven’t even transported them back to the precinct yet, so it will be a while,” the spokesperson said. “As we have every night for many weeks, PPB continues to monitor the area for criminal behavior.”
ICE did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s inquiry seeking confirmation of whether the woman’s arrest was carried out by its personnel or whether pepper spray was used by agency officers.

Protests outside the ICE facility in Portland have become a near-nightly occurrence in recent weeks, with activists opposing detentions and deportations.
TPUSA Frontlines also claimed that demonstrators appeared to have a so-called “safe house” near downtown Portland where they stored materials and coordinated activities. That claim has not been independently verified by Fox News Digital.
Portland police have repeatedly said they will continue to monitor gatherings near the ICE building for unlawful behavior..

]]>Mills, 18, was shot early Sunday in Pinson, Alabama, in a heavily wooded area referred to as The Pit, according to AL.com. The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office said that the suspect, 27-year-old Steven Tyler Whitehead, showed up at around 12:24 a.m. and fired his gun several times after a verbal and physical fight. WVTM reported the shooting took place at a bonfire.
Prosecutors charged Whitehead with three counts of attempted murder and he is being held on a $180,000 bond.
Ashley Mills, the victim’s sister, shared on Facebook that Kimber died on Wednesday night. Kimber was a senior at Cleveland High School, where she ran track and was also a cheerleader.

“I look at her like a little sister to me. I tried everything I could. I wish there was more I could’ve done,” McCay said.
McCay said the suspect was trying to talk to Kimber before a fight ensued.
“My ex-girlfriend came up to me at the party and said he was trying to do stuff to this girl named Kimber,” McCay said. “My buddy and I found him, and we started fighting him. I grabbed him and put him over my shoulder and had him on the ground. My buddy pulled me off him, and that’s when he pulled his gun out and started shooting.”

Ashley Mills previously said her sister’s injuries were too severe, adding an honor walk was held on Tuesday afternoon.
“She has too much trauma to her brain,” Ashley Mills said. “She is breathing on her own with an assisted breathing machine… We do have her on a DNR because we don’t want to hurt her anymore trying to bring her back. We’ve already got it set up for her to be an organ donor because that’s what she wanted.”
“She had a little spunk to her step,” she said.
Trussville Police Chief Eric Rush said Kimber Mills was shot in the head and leg and was taken to UAB Hospital in Birmingham.

]]>The post Melodee Buzzard disappearance: New surveillance photos show missing California girl, 9, in possible disguise appeared first on My Blog.
]]>The Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office said its investigation into the disappearance of Melodee Buzzard began on Oct. 14, after a school administrator reported her extended absence. Deputies then responded to her home in Lompoc and encountered her 35-year-old mother, Ashlee Buzzard, although “Melodee was not at the home, and no verifiable explanation for her whereabouts was provided.”
“As part of this update, detectives are sharing surveillance images of Melodee captured at a local car rental business on October 7. In the photo, Melodee is wearing a hooded sweatshirt with the hood pulled up and what appears to be a wig that is darker and straighter than her natural hair,” the sheriff’s office said in Friday’s update. “Investigators believe the wig may have been used to alter her appearance. Detectives also note that Ashlee is known to wear wigs.”
“Through their ongoing investigation, detectives have narrowed the critical timeline to between October 7 and October 10, 2025. Investigators have confirmed that Ashlee was seen returning to her Lompoc residence on October 10, driving the same rental vehicle she departed with on October 7 — but Melodee was not in the car,” the sheriff’s office continued.

“Investigators understand that this three-day road trip went from Lompoc to the Nebraska area, with the return trip including the state of Kansas. Detectives are now focused on determining where Melodee was during those three days and where she may be now,” it also said.
Melodee Buzzard is described by police as being around 4 feet, 6 inches tall and weighing approximately 60 pounds with brown hair and brown eyes.

“Our detectives are following every lead in this case. We continue to seek information from the public that could help us find Melodee,” Santa Barbara Sheriff Bill Brown said in a statement. “We remain determined to bring her home safely.”
The FBI’s Los Angeles Field Office is assisting in the search.
“The investigation indicates that Melodee was with her mother as recently as October 7, 2025. It has also been determined that Ashlee may have driven with Melodee in a White Chevrolet Malibu (Lic #9MNG101) to locations outside of Santa Barbara County, California, to include as far as the state of Nebraska,” the agency said. “The vehicle was determined to be a rental car and is no longer in Ashlee’s possession.”

]]>A local election candidate is making waves for a bizarre protest at a township meeting this week when he dressed up in martial arts gear and unleashed a series of flying kicks and punched through several of his own protest signs.
The man, identified in previous theatrical stunts as Will Thilly, is running as an independent for the Cranford Township Committee in New Jersey and has been railing against the mayor on taxes, development policy and civic unity.

NEW JERSEY DEMOCRATIC GOVERNOR HOPEFUL ATTENDS ‘NO KINGS’ PROTEST, VOWS TO FIGHT TRUMP ‘TOOTH AND NAIL’
About 45 minutes into the streamed meeting, Thilly approached the podium in his blue-colored gear, yellow belt and black headband and began clapping.
He then broke out singing “Eye of the Tiger” and asked the bemused crowd to join in.
That’s when two helpers on either side of the floor unfurled a sign that said “Unfair Taxes,” and Thilly proceeded to kung fu kick through it. One man in the crowd can be seen laughing, and another man held his head in his hands, while a despondent elderly couple got up and left.
But Thilly and his crew weren’t finished here.
His pals unfurl three other signs that said, “Closing Our Pools,” “Overdevelopment” and “Divisiveness,” with Thilly kung fu kicking through each of them.
The two men then unfurl another sign that says “Let Love Rule,” which was also adorned with hearts.
“Mr. Thilly, please address your comments to the township committee,” Mayor Terrence Curran can be heard saying.
Unfazed, Thilly then says, “This is love.” He walked toward it and the two men embrace him, wrapping him in the sign.

Moments later, Thilly took the microphone and aired his grievances to the mayor, accusing him and the township committee of mishandling a controversial 30-year PILOT tax-exemption deal for a 250-unit apartment complex.
“You also voted for the 30-year tax exemption and PILOT at 750 Walnut on Oct. 8 last year. Then, this July, you said you never voted for that deal, that I was lying,” Thilly said.
“The fact that you, our mayor, cannot remember that you voted for the single largest financial deal and loss in our town history is grounds for that agreement’s annulment. … This is the real reason our taxes are going up so much.”
He alleged that the agreement costs the town millions in lost revenue and contributes to rising property taxes, claiming officials have “censored” meetings and canceled a candidates’ debate “for the first time in history.”
Fox News Digital requested comment from Curran but did not immediately receive a response.
Thilly isn’t new to theatrics. Last month, a video of the independent candidate breakdancing at another meeting went viral, drawing more than 1.6 million views, according to CBS News New York.

“We were told the referendum was gonna bring it up for an average household about $400, I think, and mine went up like 900 bucks,” Thilly said, per the outlet.
After his speech, he moonwalked out.
Curran dismissed that stunt as “completely a distraction,” per CBS.

]]>For much of their 12-year marriage, the mother of three endured emotional and psychological abuse in silence. Even after the couple split in 1999, John Allen Muhammad continued to stalk and terrorize her. When she changed her phone number, he still found it — and then showed up at her home uninvited.
“He said to me, ‘You have become my enemy, and as my enemy, I will kill you,’” she told Fox News Digital.

In honor of Domestic Violence Awareness Month, Muhammad is now speaking out in a new Investigation Discovery true-crime documentary, “Hunted by My Husband,” which explores John’s relentless desire to murder her so he could gain custody of their children.
John, an expert rifle marksman, and his accomplice, Lee Boyd Malvo, shot and killed 10 people and wounded three others over a three-week span in October 2002 that terrorized the Washington, D.C., area, The Associated Press reported. Multiple other victims were shot and killed across the country in the prior months as the duo made their way to the area around the nation’s capital from Washington state, the outlet shared.

During the investigation, authorities theorized that John believed killing Mildred would help him regain custody of their children by making her appear to be the victim of a random gunman.

Muhammad met John in 1985 while he was stationed at Fort Lewis, Washington. She was shopping with a friend when he approached with “a beautiful smile.” They went out that same evening and married in 1988.
She described her husband as deeply invested in their relationship, and they quickly built a family together. But after serving in Operation Desert Storm in 1990, he returned a changed man. John suffered a shoulder injury and was later diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder. When Muhammad and their eldest child, John Jr., visited him in the hospital, she recalled that “the lights were on, but no one was home.”

“He would just sit in the corner, rocking back and forth,” she recalled. “He no longer wanted to have conversations. Even if I tried to engage, he felt threatened. He was full of rage — but it was a different rage.
“John was quiet. He was trained in psychological warfare, so he would do things that made me question everything I did. I would look at him and say, ‘Why are you angry?’ He would respond, ‘Why are you saying I’m angry?’ Then he went to the mirror, wiped his hand across his face — and whatever emotion was there was gone.”

Once warm and attentive, John became quick to anger and consumed by paranoia. He grew cold and calculating, making Muhammad’s belongings vanish if he disapproved of them. He nitpicked over small things, punishing her with days of silence whenever she dared to act independently. To avoid his quiet fury, Muhammad learned to stay silent. He chipped away at her self-worth, repeatedly telling her she didn’t matter.

“I tried to reach out for help, but I didn’t have physical scars,” she said. “I tried to go to my place of religion, and all you’re talking about is that I’m supposed to honor my husband. But how do I honor a man who emotionally hurts me?”
“Abusive relationships don’t begin harshly,” she reflected. “They begin with a dream they sell you, because they’re trying to control your life without you knowing. Once you submit to that dream, they breadcrumb affection toward you. Then you begin to wonder, ‘What did I do?’ You don’t understand that none of it is your fault. . . . If you try to reach out, you’ll get in trouble.”

The conflict deepened after Muhammad filed for divorce. When John threatened to kill her, she went into hiding with her family. A judge granted a lifetime restraining order — but there was one loophole.

“The restraining order was against me, not the children,” she explained. “Even though it was for life, visitation was still required every other weekend. We were preparing for court to decide on custody. That’s when he took them.”
In 2000, John kidnapped their three children, taking them on an 18-month odyssey to Antigua, the Washingtonian reported. Muhammad told Fox News Digital that because there was no parenting plan in place by the court, she was told, “He has just as much of a right to the children as you do.”

“There are no words to describe the level of pain I was in,” she said.
Taalibah Muhammad, the daughter of Dr. Mildred Muhammad and John Allen Muhammad, spoke out in “Hunted by My Husband.” (Investigation Discovery)
“In my prayer, I said, ‘Lord, I have to give You back my children. I can’t focus on what I need to do and worry about them. I’m placing them back in Your hands so I can prepare myself to stand before a judge to prove I can care for them.’ At the end of that prayer, I cried for two hours. Then I felt a presence — like someone covering me with a blanket up to my neck. I stopped crying.”
“I didn’t cry much after that,” she continued. “That’s when I began taking paralegal courses to learn how to get my children back. I had my writ of habeas corpus, which meant wherever they found my children, they had to return them to me.”

Muhammad was reunited with her children in 2001 after an emergency custody hearing in Tacoma, Washington, the Washingtonian reported. Then, in 2002, investigators knocked on her door in Maryland, where she was residing.

“They told me, ‘Have you heard about any shootings in the area?’ I said, ‘No, I have not,’” she recalled. “An agent stopped and said, ‘We’re going to have to tell you — we’re naming your ex-husband as the D.C. sniper.’ My head hit the table. They asked, ‘Do you think he would do something like that?’ I looked up and said, ‘Yes.’”
Muhammad remembered once watching a movie with John when he turned to her and said, “I could take a small city and terrorize it. They would think it’s a group of people. It would only be me.” When she tried to ask why, he quickly changed the subject.

The investigator told Muhammad, “Didn’t you know you were the target? There was a man shot two miles from you at a convenience store. There was another man shot right down the street from you six times. He took $3,000 and his laptop. Ms. Muhammad, you were the target.”

Muhammad and her family were quickly taken to a hotel for safety.
“I saw the TV — there he was,” she said. “I put my hand on the screen and said, ‘What happened to you?’ My children cried themselves to sleep. I went to the bathroom, turned on the water, sat on the floor and screamed into a pillow.”
“The next day, he was caught,” she added.
