Left judge’s move after fellow judge busted for helping illegal alien dodge ICE
A Wisconsin judge is threatening not to hold court in protest of federal authorities arresting her fellow judge Hannah Dugan last week.
Judge Monica Isham made the announcement in an email to judges across the state on Saturday. Her email, titled “Guidance Requested or I Refuse to Hold Court,” made clear she had no intention of working with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
“If there is no guidance for us and no support for us, I will refuse to hold court in Branch 2 in Sawyer County. I will not put myself or my staff who may feel compelled to help me or my community in harms way,” Isham wrote.
“I have no intention of allowing anyone to be taken out of my courtroom by ICE and sent to a concentration camp, especially without due process, as BOTH of the constitutions we swore to support require. Should I start raising bail money?” Isham wrote, referring to the Wisconsin state constitution as well.

“If this costs me my job or gets me arrested then at least I know I did the right thing,” she added.
Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon reacted to Isham’s ultimatum on social media, saying the threat was “problematic.”
NEW MEXICO JUDGE RESIGNS AFTER ALLEGED TDA MEMBER ARRESTED AT HIS HOME
Dugan was arrested and charged with obstruction of an official proceeding on Friday after evidence came to light that she had shielded the migrant from ICE agents, according to a criminal complaint. She was also charged with concealing an individual to prevent discovery and arrest.
Federal agents from ICE, FBI, CBP and DEA attempted to arrest the undocumented male – Mexican national Eduardo Flores-Ruiz – following his scheduled criminal court appearance before Dugan on April 18 to face three misdemeanor battery charges for allegedly beating two people.
Dugan demanded that the officers proceed to the chief judge’s office and – after his hearing ended – escorted Flores-Ruiz and his attorney out a restricted jury door, bypassing the public area where agents were waiting in order to help him avoid arrest, per the complaint.

Dugan has worked with legal aid organizations and as executive director of Catholic Charities in the past. She was elected to Branch 31 of the Circuit Court in 2016 and ran unopposed in the 2022 election. She primarily oversees cases in its misdemeanor division, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
Several people dead after driver plows into crowd at popular street festival
A driver ran a car into a crowd at a Filipino festival in Vancouver, Canada, on Saturday night, leaving multiple victims dead and others injured, local authorities said.
At least nine people were killed when the driver plowed into a crowd at the Lapu Lapu Day block party shortly after 8 p.m., the Vancouver Police Department said in a social media post. The exact number of injured was not immediately available.
Police said the suspect is a 30-year-old man from Vancouver who was arrested at the scene. No further details about the suspect or a motive were immediately provided.
“At this time, we are confident that this incident was not an act of terrorism,” police said in a post early Sunday.

The festival was being held in a South Vancouver neighborhood. Video posted on social media showed victims and debris strewn across a long stretch of road, with at least seven people lying immobile on the ground. A black SUV with a crumpled front section could be seen in still photos from the scene.
James Cruzat, a Vancouver business owner, told The Associated Press that he was at the festival when he suddenly heard a car rev its engine. He said he then heard “a loud noise, like a loud bang” that he initially thought might be a gunshot and described seeing people on the road crying, running and screaming for help.
“So we tried to go there just to check what was really actually happening until we found some bodies on the ground,” Cruzat said. “Others were lifeless, others like, you know, injured.”
Cruzat said the aftermath he witnessed was unimaginable and “heartbreaking.”
“I couldn’t even imagine that it’s actually happening in real life, because normally we see that on TVs or movies,” he said. “But when you are in that kind of situation, it was really shocking. … You couldn’t do anything but to pray for them.”
Vancouver Mayor Kenneth Sim expressed condolences to the victims in a post on X and said that officials would provide more information when possible.
“I am shocked and deeply saddened by the horrific incident at today’s Lapu Lapu Day event,” Sim said. “Our thoughts are with all those affected and with Vancouver’s Filipino community during this incredibly difficult time.”

Prime Minister Mark Carney said he was “devastated” at the violence that unfolded at the festival.
“I offer my deepest condolences to the loved ones of those killed and injured, to the Filipino Canadian community, and to everyone in Vancouver. We are all mourning with you,” Carney wrote.

Suspect arrested after allegedly swiping Kristi Noem’s purse from upscale restaurant
The suspect accused of stealing Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s Gucci handbag containing $3,000 in cash and other personal belongings was arrested on Saturday in Washington, D.C., according to reports.
The Metropolitan Police Department and the U.S. Secret Service caught the suspect, the New York Post reported. Authorities are still searching for a second suspect in connection with the incident.
The two are both in the U.S. without authorization and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is now involved in the case, Interim U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Ed Martin told NBC 4. Martin said there is no indication Noem was targeted for her role at DHS.
The suspect in custody is scheduled to appear in court early this week, according to the New York Post.
DHS CHIEF KRISTI NOEM’S PURSE STOLEN WITH THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN DC RESTAURANT: SOURCES
The Secret Service has declined to confirm reports that the suspect was arrested on Saturday.
“For the safety of our agents and officers, we are not in a position to confirm or comment at this time,” Secret Service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi wrote on X. “Should criminal charges be filed, the Department of Homeland Security will provide public information in accordance with established procedures.”
Fox News Digital has reached out to DHS, which referred back to Guglielmi’s statement.
Noem was with her family on Easter Sunday at The Capital Burger in Washington, D.C., when the suspect nabbed her luxury bag containing the cash as well as her driver’s license, passport, medication, makeup bag, blank checks, DHS badge, apartment keys and a Louis Vuitton Clemence wallet.
DHS CHIEF KRISTI NOEM REVEALS HOW HER PURSE WAS STOLEN AT RESTAURANT: ‘PROFESSIONALLY DONE’
The bag was on the floor at her table when it was stolen, according to a complaint filed with local police.
Security footage captured a white man in a N95 surgical mask, dark pants and a baseball cap grabbing the bag before leaving the restaurant.
The suspect glanced around the restaurant before snatching the bag, covering it with his jacket and running out of the establishment, sources who viewed the footage told the New York Post.
“It was kind of shocking, actually, because it was sitting right by my feet. I actually felt my purse, he hooked it with his foot and drug it a few steps away and dropped a coat over it and took it,” Noem told podcaster Vince Coglianese on the “VINCE Show.”

“I felt it, but I thought it was my grandkids kicking me in the legs. But it was very professionally done, and it tells that this happens all the time to people and that they live in communities where this is a danger and it reaffirms why I am here,” she added. “My job is to make sure that I do everything, every day I can to make our communities safer and President Trump recognizes that families shouldn’t have to live with any kind of violence in their lives.”
Just days before Noem’s bag was stolen, another woman eating with her own family at a nearby eatery had her purse nabbed in a similar incident.
Nearly 800 illegal aliens arrested during ‘tidal wave’ operation across single state
In a groundbreaking joint effort, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Miami and Florida law enforcement agencies arrested nearly 800 illegal immigrants during the first four days of Operation Tidal Wave, a massive, multi-agency immigration enforcement crackdown.
Fox News obtained information on some of the ICE arrests from the ongoing operation, which include a convicted Colombian murderer, alleged MS-13 and 18th Street gang members and a Russian with an Interpol Red Notice for manslaughter.
Jose Sanchez Reyes, a Colombian illegal immigrant who entered the U.S. as a getaway, was convicted of homicide in his home country.

‘Most hated mom’ now raking in serious cash nearly 15 years after controversial acquittal
“America’s most hated mom,” Casey Anthony, is now raking in money in her latest lucrative venture as a subscription-based blogger.
Anthony was accused of killing her two-year-old daughter, Caylee, in 2008 but was found not guilty in 2011.
As the 39-year-old works to establish a new identity, she has turned to Substack, a platform that allows followers to pay to subscribe to personal writings, videos, and other communications.
“It has been more than 16 years since my name became a household one,” Anthony wrote in her Substack bio. “Everyone seems to have an opinion — about me, and about my life. I am an advocate, a researcher. These are my words, this is my REAL life.”
‘MOST-HATED MOM’ CASEY ANTHONY RETURNS TO NATIONAL SPOTLIGHT AFTER ACQUITAL IN DAUGHTER’S MURDER
In Anthony’s case, subscription prices start at $10 a month and can climb as high as $250 per year. The subscription price will allow followers to interact with Anthony.
The 39-year-old has over 5,000 subscribers to her Substack.
Fox News Digital spoke with Ari Lightman, a digital media and marketing professor at Carnegie Mellon University, on Anthony’s latest venture.
He emphasized how platforms like TikTok, which didn’t exist during Anthony’s trial, now allow public figures to reintroduce themselves to a new generation that is largely unaware of past controversies.
“It’s an opportunity for this person and this personality to do a refresh within the U.S. public and reinvent herself,” he said.
Lightman noted the rise in engaging in content that people are opposed to, also known as “hate clicking.”
“People enjoy hate-clicking on things or hate-reading and are fascinated with either the mystery or what they’re up to now,” he noted.
CASEY ANTHONY’S PARENTS TOOK POLYGRAPH TEST TO ‘CLEAR THEIR NAME,’ EXPERT SAYS
On March 1, Anthony launched her TikTok account and quickly garnered thousands of followers.
“This is my first of probably many recordings on a series I am starting,” Anthony said in a March 1 video posted to TikTok. “I am a legal advocate. I am a researcher. I have been in the legal field since 2011, and in this capacity, I feel that it’s necessary if I’m going to continue to operate appropriately as a legal advocate that I start to advocate for myself and also advocate for my daughter.”
She continued: “For those of you who don’t know, my name is Casey Anthony. My daughter is Caylee Anthony. My parents are George and Cindy Anthony. This is not about them. This is not in response to anything that they have said or done. . . .The whole point of this is for me to begin to reintroduce myself.”
FOLLOW THE FOX TRUE CRIME TEAM ON X
Lightman wondered whether Anthony’s ability to profit from her fame — even though it stems from scandal — will inspire more people to try to become famous.
“The question I would have is: Are we going to see this happen more and more often? This provides an example of people cashing in on their fandom. Does that imply that people will deliberately try to create fame — by any means necessary — whether positive, which is much harder to achieve, or through scandal, which is much easier?”
In 2008, Casey was charged with the murder of Caylee after the little girl was reported missing and later found dead in Orlando, Florida.
The prosecution claimed that Casey had intentionally killed her daughter to free herself from parental responsibilities, while the defense argued that Caylee had accidentally drowned and that Casey’s father had helped to cover it up.

In 2011, after a highly publicized trial, Casey Anthony was acquitted of the most serious charges, including first-degree murder, but was found guilty on four counts of providing false information to law enforcement.
The verdict sparked widespread outrage and debate, and Casey has remained a controversial figure ever since.
Child abduction survivor identifies single biggest threat for today’s kids across America
Elizabeth Smart was 14 years old when she was kidnapped at knifepoint from her Salt Lake City home. For nine months, she survived on hope.
“[The key to my survival] was truly the belief that my family would love me no matter what and that my family would want me back, no matter what,” the 37-year-old told Fox News Digital. “Maybe nobody else, but my family would. That was worth doing whatever it took to survive.”
Today, Smart is a married mother of three, but her story is far from over. She is a child safety activist who regularly speaks on behalf of missing and exploited children. She’s also partnering with “America’s Most Wanted” to serve as a guest speaker for Monday’s episode of “America’s Most Wanted: Missing Persons.”
KIDNAPPING SURVIVOR ELIZABETH SMART ON EMPOWERING KIDS FROM PREDATORS: ‘DON’T BE AFRAID TO PRACTICE SCREAMING’
The three-week event series, hosted by FOX News Channel Emmy Award-winning anchor Harris Faulker, centers on finding missing people and reuniting them with their families. It features a panel of crime experts who analyze current missing person cases.
“I love the title because this is focused on the missing,” Smart explained. “I feel there’s every reason to hope and believe that each of these cases can be solved.
“I think about how my case was solved, and it came down to just how aware people were of my story,” she shared. “I’ve been told how people remember where they were the day that I was rescued because they followed my story so closely. They remembered that my missing posters were in all the windows around downtown Salt Lake City. All the trees had light blue ribbons tied around them. Everywhere they went, it was a plea to find me.
“Each of these stories that we cover deserves so much attention,” Smart added. “And if we get enough attention to these stories, these individuals, we can bring them home. … These stories don’t have to end tragically. These stories can have happy endings. And we need the public’s help because someone knows something, someone has seen something. And the show calls on the power of the public.”
It was “America’s Most Wanted,” which aired an episode about Smart’s 2002 abduction, that led to her being recognized by a couple, who spotted her walking with her captors. The true-crime series, originally launched by host John Walsh on FOX in 1988, has aired just over 1,100 episodes and helped capture 1,198 fugitives.
“My parents never gave up, even though there were plenty of people telling them, ‘She’s probably dead,'” said Smart. “[It was] John who stepped forward and brought this sketch [of my kidnapper] forward, really pushing it out on a national platform.”

Walsh has been fueled by personal tragedy. In 1981, his son, Adam Walsh, was abducted from a department store in Florida. Two weeks after the 6-year-old’s disappearance, his severed head was found in a canal.
Along with his wife, Walsh pushed successfully for the passage of national legislation to make efforts to find missing children more effective. He was also instrumental in the founding of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.

“John and his family have all experienced just unimaginable pain,” said Smart. “And, yet, that did not silence him. That did not stop him. That has not stopped him from fighting for every other missing child and suffering family out there.
“That has not stopped him and his family from doing everything they can to try to bring reunification, to spread awareness of these missing children, to try to bring them home and to try to provide as many happy endings as possible. I think that’s inspiring, just the strength and courage it has taken that family every day to keep going.”
For nine months, Smart was held captive by Brian David Mitchell, a street preacher who claimed to be a prophet, and his wife Wanda Barzee. Mitchell worked as a roofer at the Smarts’ home for a day in 2001, People magazine reported.
Smart later testified how she was drugged, tied to a tree and raped as often as four times a day, the outlet shared. If she dared to cry for help, her family would be murdered, Mitchell warned her.
During her ordeal, Smart insisted she never gave up hope that one day she would be found.
“Coming back and being with my family was everything I dreamed of while I was being held kidnapped,” she said. “All I wanted was to make it home, feel love again, feel safe again. I wanted to gain the courage, as cliché as it sounds, to follow my dreams. These weren’t extravagant dreams. I wanted to go to high school, get my driver’s license, go to prom, go on a first date, go to college, get married, have a family.”

“That was the life I had dreamed of the entire time,” said Smart. “Being able to come home, feel loved and safe again, feeling that everything was going to be OK, that gave me the strength and courage to pursue those dreams. As each of those dreams has come true.”
Smart has new dreams. But they aren’t about her.
“I want to highlight other people’s stories,” she said. “I’m not sure if there’s ever been a case that has been as highlighted as mine was, and that’s not fair. There are so many cases that never see the light of day.
“There are so many communities that, for terrible reasons, don’t have the same attention, and that’s not fair. So, trying to share those stories has become so important to me. … Every opportunity I feel I get to help create change or be a part of it, that’s what I want to do.”
In 2011, Mitchell, now 71, was sentenced to life in prison. Barzee, 79, who helped kidnap Smart and stood by as she was sexually assaulted, was released from prison in 2018. Under the terms of her release, Barzee must undergo mental health treatment and not contact Smart and her family.
The case has affected how Smart parents her children. Like any mother, she worries constantly.

“Communication is so important between parents and children,” she stressed. “When your children start asking questions, you need to be honest with them. You might not be ready for that conversation. I know I have been taken by surprise sometimes by the questions that my children have asked me. I’ve been like, ‘Wait, I’m not ready to talk about that yet.’ … But there is a way that you can discuss these things with them. And don’t just discuss it once. Let that conversation grow as they grow.”
“When it comes to technology, I feel this is terrifying territory because it is such a powerful tool for both good and for bad,” she admitted. “Some of these games that are hugely popular can be extremely dangerous when it comes to children being on their own unsupervised.
“Unfortunately, there are predators who are also on these same gaming platforms,” she warned. “And, so, knowing what your child is doing, setting boundaries for them, talking to them … I know it’s hard. It can be very scary to talk about because you don’t want to scare them from living. But, at the same time, these dangers are very real. They need to be taken seriously because there are too many cases.”
Smart advised that now, more than ever, parents need to supervise their children when it comes to their use of technology. She said it’s too easy for a child to become slowly groomed by a predator online.
“That is a very dangerous place for children to be,” she said. “Part of me wants to say, ‘Just don’t let them play at all.’ But I also recognize that if kids want to, they will find a way to play those games. So, make sure you’re proactive about it. Make sure you’re taking the initiative and that you’re having conversations. I can’t stress the importance of that.”
Smart’s children know about her past ordeal but not in “extreme detail,” People reported. She wonders constantly if she’s doing enough to keep her children safe.
ABDUCTION SURVIVOR ELIZABETH SMART SHARES SAFETY ADVICE, WHAT ‘RED FLAGS’ FAMILY AND FRIENDS SHOULD LOOK FOR
“It makes me sound slightly neurotic, which I suppose I probably am, truth be told,” she said. “But these are my children. I would rather double, triple, quadruple check — no — keep eyes on them [at all times] to ensure their safety than ever look back and have regrets that I didn’t take it seriously enough.”
Smart continues to hope. This time, she’s hopeful that “America’s Most Wanted: Missing Persons” will help raise awareness for families in need.
“These families deserve answers,” she said. “They deserve to be reunited with their loved ones. And I just know that if these stories had the same amount of attention that my story did, we would see a lot of people coming home. We would see a lot more happy endings.”
Florida’s booziest boat party makes roaring return one year after garbage-fueled scandal
About 6,000 to 10,000 revelers gather in their boats on a lake in Florida for the boozy Boca Bash on the last Sunday of April each year.
The party is an annual celebration on Lake Boca Raton, along Florida’s southeastern coast. The rave attracts people from near and far for the massive boating and drinking extravaganza.
The event sells no tickets, and guests are given few instructions – just show up, and remember a floaty.
The City of Boca Raton told Fox News Digital that it has no official involvement in putting on the party, but collaborates with community partners, like the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC), to “ensure the safety of all attendees and protect our waterways.”
BOCA BASH BOAT GARBAGE DUMPERS FACE ‘IMMINENT’ ARRESTS AS FLORIDA AUTHORITIES LOOK TO ‘SEND A MESSAGE’
The Boca Bash began in 2007
According to the Palm Beach Post, the annual, spring break-like event in Boca Raton has always been held during the last week of April. It started in 2007, when party seekers showed up even though officials had canceled the event.
Since then, thousands of party animals have flocked to Lake Boca Raton’s shoulder-length deep waters.
Boca Bash drowning
The 2018 Boca Bash turned tragic when 32-year-old Francis Roselin, of West Palm Beach, drowned.
His friend, Strogoff Prevot, told WPTV in 2018 that their group had traveled to a sandbar. When Prevot turned around while swimming, Roselin had disappeared. Prevot swam back to the boat to look for Roselin while his friends found police officers and reported Roselin missing.

Marine units, along with a police helicopter, Ocean Rescue and the Coast Guard, began a search, but they were unable to find the 32-year-old, police said.
A swimmer later discovered Roselin at the bottom of the Intracoastal Waterway. The Boca Raton Police Department later announced that Roselin had drowned.
His girlfriend, Tamekia Rich, filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the City of Boca Raton, alleging negligence on the city’s part for failing to control the crowds and failing to provide adequate supervision of the water. The city countered, saying that it had not hosted the Boca Bash.

Revelers caught on camera dumping trash in water
Viral drone footage in 2024 captured two teenagers, 15 and 16, hefting two trash bins filled with bottles and other plastics over the railing of their fishing vessel as they sped away from the boozy gathering on April 28, 2024.
As the boat of partiers zooms away into the choppy waters of the Boca Raton inlet, the video pans out to the spread of debris left floating in their wake. Footage from the front of the boat shows the teens waving and laughing.
The video prompted outrage and the Boca Bash’s Facebook page wrote that they were “angered and disturbed by these actions.”
“Once the video was posted, we quickly got to work with the community to discover who the owner of the boat was and who was on the vessel in this particular instance committing an egregious act,” they wrote.
The two teens turned themselves in to police and face third-degree felony charges for causing pollution “so as to harm or injure human health or welfare, animal, plant or aquatic life or property,” the Miami Herald reported.
One of the boy’s parents issued an emailed statement to The Palm Beach Post through a spokesperson.
“We take responsibility for caring for our oceans and our community very seriously, and we are extremely saddened by what occurred last weekend at Boca Bash,” the family wrote. “We want to extend our sincerest apologies to everyone who has been impacted and rightfully upset by what occurred.”

Team’s execs react to drafting Shedeur Sanders — and they’re raising eyebrows online for it
The Cleveland Browns pulled the trigger on taking Shedeur Sanders after his historic slide in the NFL Draft.
But some fans are skeptical about the team’s enthusiasm for the player based on the reactions of Browns leadership after the selection.
ESPN footage of Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski and general manager Andrew Berry showed light golf claps with blank facial expressions in the team’s war room after the pick of Sanders was announced.
Berry slouched with a half frown.
NFL DRAFT QUARTERBACK MISTAKES THAT SHAPED LEAGUE LANDSCAPE
Many fans on social media questioned how enthusiastic team brass actually was about taking the controversial prospect.
“They look thrilled. Did someone force their hand?” one X user wrote in response to the footage.
Another user expressed concern over Sanders possibly being on a team whose leadership doesn’t value him.
“This is even more disrespectful than NOT drafting him. No way these guys treat Shedeur fairly,” the user wrote.
GET FULL 2025 NFL DRAFT COVERAGE WITH REAL-TIME PICKS, EXPERT ANALYSIS AND CAN’T-MISS MOMENTS
On bold critic even suggested Berry and Stefanski gave a “reaction of shame,” while pushing a conspiracy theory involving NFL collusion.
“This is a reaction of shame, they are embarrassed that they decided to participate in this collusion, participated in knowingly and obviously screwing this kid yet end up drafting him,” that user wrote.
Berry and Stefanski later explained the selection of Sanders to reporters in a press conference. Berry suggested that drafting Sanders “wasn’t necessarily the plan” after taking quarterback Dillon Gabriel in an earlier round, and he didn’t think Sanders would be available in the fifth round.
“It wasn’t necessarily the plan going into the weekend to select two quarterbacks, but, you know, as we talk about, we do believe in best player available. We do believe in positional value. And we didn’t necessarily expect him to be available in the fifth round,” Berry said.
“So, we love adding competition to every position room. So, adding him to compete with the other guys who are already in there, that was the appropriate thing to do.”
While discussing the strategy behind drafting Sanders, Berry said it was something Browns officials started to consider entering the third day of the draft.
“It was something, going into day three of the draft with him still on the board, it was a thought like, ‘Well, you know, depending on how far he goes, that would be something that we would be interested in potentially taking him off the board,’” Berry said.
“As names kept coming off the board, and we saw how we were positioned, we just felt like the value was there.”
Berry added that the interview experience with Sanders was “positive” amid reports the quarterback interviewed poorly for multiple NFL teams.
Before Saturday, the relationship between the Browns and Sanders family wasn’t all flattering compliments.

Shedeur’s father, Colorado football coach and NFL Hall of Famer Deion Sanders, once suggested a young quarterback should refuse to play for Cleveland in 2018, the way Eli Manning refused to play for the Chargers in 2004.
“I love what the Browns have done this offseason but if im a young QB ain’t no way im going to Cleveland. I would pull a ELI MANNING If possible,” Deion wrote in a March 2018 Twitter post.
However, Deion also disputed the notion that Shedeur might not play for the Browns after a rumor surfaced last season.
“A Lie don’t care who tells it. Please stop trying to become relevant by misrepresenting my son. God bless you,” Deion wrote in response to a post circulating the rumor.

Brooke Burke
Brooke Burke was photographed on the beach in Malibu, California, while walking on the shore during sunset in a bright green bikini, which showed off her toned body.
The 53-year-old model and television personality has been very open about her workout routine and how she maintains her toned figure, telling Fox News Digital that weight training is a big part of her routine.
“What I found, I’m in my 50s, no one prepared us for menopause and said, ‘Learn how to weight train.’ The reason we need to weight train is for bone density. It’s bone health, osteoporosis. It shifts your hormones. It kicks up your metabolism. It creates strength. It allows you to develop more coordination so we can do other things,” she said.
