Guard alleges US troops used ‘sonic weapon’ in Venezuela base attack
A viral story from a man claiming to have witnessed the U.S. operation to capture Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro states that the U.S. used sonic weapons during the mission to incapacitate opposing forces.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt shared the eyewitness interview on X, encouraging her followers to read the statement. The witness in the interview claims to be a guard who was serving at the Caracas military base where the U.S. captured Maduro.
“We were on guard, but suddenly all our radar systems shut down without any explanation,” the witness said. “The next thing we saw were drones, a lot of drones, flying over our positions. We didn’t know how to react.”
The witness then described watching roughly 20 U.S. soldiers deploy out of roughly eight helicopters over the base.

“They were technologically very advanced,” the guard said. “They didn’t look like anything we’ve fought against before.”
“We were hundreds, but we had no chance,” he said. “They were shooting with such precision and speed; it felt like each soldier was firing 300 rounds per minute.”
The witness then describes the U.S. deploying some sort of sonic weapon against Venezuelan forces.

“At one point, they launched something; I don’t know how to describe it,” he said. “It was like a very intense sound wave. Suddenly I felt like my head was exploding from the inside.”
“We all started bleeding from the nose,” he added. “Some were vomiting blood. We fell to the ground, unable to move. We couldn’t even stand up after that sonic weapon — or whatever it was.”
“Those twenty men, without a single casualty, killed hundreds of us,” the witness claimed. “We had no way to compete with their technology, with their weapons. I swear, I’ve never seen anything like it.”

Agitators taking over streets threaten agents as lawlessness spreads, expert says
Agitators directing traffic and impeding law enforcement activity in Minnesota are drawing sharp criticism from a former police official, who warns the scenes signal a dangerous normalization of obstruction that threatens public safety and the rule of law.
Retired NYPD detective and adjunct professor Mike Alcazar told Fox News Digital the behavior would never have been tolerated during his career, calling the lack of intervention a clear departure from long-standing enforcement standards.
“It would have been shut down immediately. It never would have happened,” Alcazar said.
Drawing on decades of experience policing large-scale demonstrations in New York City, Alcazar said protesters were historically permitted to exercise their First Amendment rights, but only within clearly enforced boundaries intended to prevent disorder and violence.
ANTI-ICE AGITATORS THREATEN AGENTS IN CHAOTIC MINNESOTA PROTESTS: ‘YOU’RE GOING TO F—ING DIE’
He said civilians were not allowed to take over roadways, direct traffic or block pedestrian access, and officers routinely used barriers, separation tactics and a visible uniformed presence to maintain control.
“You cannot take over a roadway. That is not part of your right to protest,” Alcazar said. “That’s where we draw the line.”
Alcazar said those lines now appear increasingly blurred, allowing demonstrations to drift into obstruction. When enforcement standards are not clearly maintained, he said, agitators exploit the absence of consequences — surrounding officers, escalating confrontations and introducing items that can be used as weapons, such as wooden poles.
NOEM ALLEGES WOMAN KILLED IN ICE SHOOTING ‘STALKING AND IMPEDING’ AGENTS ALL DAY
According to Alcazar, the risks intensify when federal agents are operating without visible local law enforcement support. Immigration enforcement operations, he said, are not designed to manage hostile civilian crowds and instead rely on local departments to secure scenes and prevent interference.
“ICE agents are trained for enforcement operations — not crowd control,” Alcazar said. “When local police pull back, you’re leaving federal agents exposed.”
Those risks were visible on the ground. Fox News correspondent Matt Finn captured a tense moment in downtown Minneapolis when a resident used a vehicle to briefly block Border Patrol agents during an active enforcement operation, forcing agents to order the driver to move. Finn reported that Border Patrol units often avoid remaining in one location for extended periods because agitators frequently attempt to surround or impede them, making even brief delays a safety risk.
MINNESOTA SCHOOLS SHUT DOWN, TEACHERS UNION DEMANDS ICE LEAVE CITY
Tensions escalated in Minneapolis after a fatal shooting Wednesday during a federal immigration enforcement operation, when 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good was shot and killed by an ICE agent.
Federal officials said Good attempted to drive her vehicle toward agents during the encounter, a claim disputed by family members and some local leaders. The shooting led to agitators taking to the streets and heightened scrutiny of federal enforcement activity in the city, contributing to repeated confrontations between demonstrators and federal agents.
City officials, however, said recent demonstrations have largely remained peaceful and that steps are being taken to ensure public safety.
A spokesperson for the Minneapolis Police Department said lawful assemblies had been peaceful and comparable to other small- and large-scale demonstrations that regularly occur in the city. Police emphasized that keeping streets clear is critical to protecting lives, property and first responders.
The city said it was removing barriers blocking streets near the site of Wednesday’s shooting to ensure emergency access.
Minneapolis Fire Department Interim Chief Melanie Rucker warned that blocked streets can delay emergency response and endanger lives.
“Safety has to come first — every second matters when lives are on the line,” Rucker said, noting crews recently responded to a three-alarm fire just blocks from the area. “When streets are blocked, it slows our response and puts both residents and emergency responders at risk.”
City officials said residents have raised concerns about neighborhood access, with multiple 311 calls requesting barrier removal. While memorials created by community members will remain intact, the city said surrounding streets must stay clear to ensure emergency access.
MASKED AGITATOR TELLS LAURA INGRAHAM SHE’S ‘GETTING PAID RIGHT NOW’ AT ANTI-ICE PROTEST
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey has sharply criticized the presence and actions of federal immigration agents following the shooting, telling ICE to “get the f— out of Minneapolis” and rejecting the Department of Homeland Security’s account of the incident. Frey said the city does not want federal agents there, arguing their presence has contributed to chaos and undermined public safety.
Additional concerns were raised by Adam Swart, CEO of Crowds on Demand, who told Fox News Digital his firm declined to participate in Minneapolis demonstrations because many crossed into illegal activity, including blocking streets and obstructing federal law enforcement.
RENEE NICOLE GOOD PART OF ‘ICE WATCH’ GROUP, DHS SOURCES SAY
Swart said mixing peaceful protesters with individuals engaging in obstruction creates serious safety risks, as officers cannot easily distinguish between lawful demonstrators and agitators.
“When you’re blocking streets, clashing with law enforcement, and obstructing federal agents, those are illegal protests,” Swart said. “Law enforcement can’t easily distinguish between peaceful protesters and people creating those obstructions.”
Swart rejected claims that blocking roadways or restricting law enforcement movement constitutes “nonviolent resistance,” warning that preventing federal agents from moving freely puts officers, protesters and emergency responders in danger.
He added that such tactics are often counterproductive, saying efforts to obstruct ICE operations are more likely to trigger an increased federal presence rather than deter enforcement.
Mark Ross, president of the St. Paul Police Federation, also weighed in, sharply criticizing local political leadership and the impact of so-called separation ordinances on public safety.
Ross said city leaders have conflated routine crowd control support with “working with ICE,” despite local police departments having no role in federal immigration enforcement.
“As far as I’m concerned, these mayors and councils have some blood on their hands and bear some responsibility,” Ross said.
Ross argued that allowing local police to provide basic crowd control — rather than restricting coordination — could have reduced risks during recent confrontations. He said police assistance focused solely on keeping crowds from interfering with federal agents might have prevented dangerous escalation.
Ross added that his department has repeatedly offered help limited to crowd management, not deportations or federal enforcement duties, to ensure the safety of both agents and demonstrators.

Alcazar said the unrest underscores the danger of leaving federal agents to operate amid disorder without local law enforcement support, warning that the absence of a visible police presence increases the risk of escalation and injury for officers and civilians alike.
“It’s a recipe for disaster,” he said. “That’s how civilians get hurt, officers get hurt and situations spiral out of control.”
Alcazar warned that allowing obstruction to go unchecked sends a dangerous signal that enforcement standards no longer apply.
“Once civilians start controlling the streets, police lose control of the streets,” Alcazar said. “When people don’t know where the limits are, they’re going to take advantage.”
Pritzker rejects ex-officer’s call to use 2nd Amendment rights to protect against ICE
Gov. JB Pritzker, D-Ill., on Sunday dismissed a call from former D.C. police officer Michael Fanone — who was injured during the Jan. 6 Capitol riot — urging Americans to use their Second Amendment rights to protect themselves from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
CNN’s Jake Tapper played a clip on “State of the Union” featuring Fanone on The Lincoln Square’s “Protect and Serve” podcast, where he appeared to urge Americans to use guns to defend themselves against ICE following the shooting in Minneapolis.
“It’s time for the American people to organize and to utilize their Second Amendment right to protect themselves from what is clearly become an unaccountable and lawless agency that’s killing Americans,” Fanone told host Maya May on the podcast.
Fanone also said he didn’t need to hear calls from police to protest peacefully and added, “F— you and f— that.”
AOC ACCUSES VANCE OF BELIEVING ‘AMERICAN PEOPLE SHOULD BE ASSASSINATED IN THE STREET’
After the clip, Tapper asked for Pritzker’s reaction.
“Well, violence is inappropriate in all of these situations,” Pritzker said. “And indeed, I’ve told the protesters — who are, in fact, the vast majority are peaceful protesters — keep the violence out of it. Make sure you‘re peacefully protesting, be loud for America, but make sure you’re not providing any excuse for the administration to try to send in National Guard.”
He noted that Illinois has won legal cases so far to prevent National Guard troops from being sent to the state.
“We’ve won in our cases, but it’s in part because we haven’t created any situations in which an insurrection or rebellion looks like it’s taking place,” Pritzker continued. “Our protesters are doing the right thing, and we shouldn’t have any talk of people bringing guns and matching force by civilians with law enforcement. What we need is for law enforcement at the federal level to back off, do their job, follow the protocols, do the right thing.”

During the first hour of the expanded special edition of “State of the Union,” Bryan Lanza — a former senior advisor to the Trump 2024 campaign — addressed Fanone’s comments.
“CNN’s favorite policeman, Michael Fanone. He’s talking about, you know, people using guns against ICE enforcement to deal with these situations. All that’s happening on the left is truly an escalation. I think it needs to stop,” Lanza said.
Tapper noted that Fanone no longer works for CNN, while Lanza called his remarks “despicable.”
“He’s literally asking for a confrontation with law enforcement and citizens — a gun exchange,” Lanza added.

Fanone criticized Tapper during an interview in November, specifically calling out Tapper over his book, “Original Sin,” about former President Joe Biden.
“Tapper’s just kind of like a clown. I mean he always struck me as, you know, he’s kind of like an opportunist. He’s very much JD Vance-ish,” Fanone told Tommy Christopher in a Substack interview. “In that I just kind of felt like he goes wherever he sees mobility, upward mobility for himself and, you know, an opportunity.”

Iranian prince begs Trump to ‘make Iran great again’ as protests rock regime
Exiled Iranian Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi appealed to President Donald Trump on Sunday to help liberate Iran as nationwide protests continue to roil the Islamic Republic.
“You have already established your legacy as a man committed to peace and fighting evil forces,” Pahlavi said on “Sunday Morning Futures.” “There is a reason why people in Iran are renaming streets after your name. They know that you are totally opposite to Barack Obama or Joe Biden. They know you’re not going to throw them under the bus as they have had before.”
Trump voiced support for the protesters in a Truth Social post on Saturday, writing, “Iran is looking at FREEDOM, perhaps like never before. The USA stands ready to help!!!”

The president also said at a Friday news conference that the U.S. would respond forcefully if the regime resorts to mass violence.
“We’ll be hitting them very hard where it hurts. And that doesn’t mean boots on the ground, but it means hitting them very, very hard where it hurts,” he said.
Protests have spread across multiple Iranian cities in recent days, with demonstrators calling for the end of the theocratic government, as security forces move to suppress unrest.
IRANIAN HOSPITALS OVERWHELMED WITH INJURIES AS PROTESTS RAGE ACROSS ISLAMIC REPUBLIC
Pahlavi said Trump’s public backing has emboldened these protesters and called the “defining” moment a chance to “liberate” the nation.
“Let’s hope that we can permanently seal this legacy by liberating Iran so that we and you can make Iran great again. Let’s partner on this and have a better future for our countries and for our people,” he said.

“This is an opportunity that has presented itself. I’m prepared to return to Iran at the first possible opportunity. I’m already planning on that and the transition team. We hope only that the Iranian people this time will be victorious, and they will be, because I know that the Iranians are prepared to die for this cause, and so am I.”
The unrest comes amid heightened tensions in the Middle East, with U.S. allies closely watching how Washington responds as Iran faces growing internal pressure.
Chaos abounds as anti-ICE agitators confront protesters calling for Iran regime change
Demonstrators with competing causes clashed in Washington, D.C. on Sunday as groups protesting unrest in Iran converged with other anti-ICE agitators and activists chanting “Free Palestine,” leading to tense scenes as the crowds shouted over one another.
Video from the scene shows several protest groups gathering in the same area, creating a chaotic and at times confrontational scene.
A person filming the demonstrations said the crowd had “quadrupled in a week,” as protests have expanded in recent days.
Some demonstrators were seen holding pre-Ayatollah Iranian flags and signs reading “The World is Watching,” reflecting opposition to Iran’s current regime amid violent protests overseas.

The gathering comes as unrest has escalated in Iran, where armed protesters have clashed with police in Tehran and other cities, prompting warnings from President Donald Trump about a potential forceful U.S. response.
As the demonstrators moved through the area, they encountered another group chanting “Free Palestine,” prompting both sides to raise their voices and attempt to shout over one another. The competing chants continued for several moments, with neither group appearing willing to cede space.

While no physical altercations are visible in the video, the shouting underscored heightened tensions between the causes.

Jennette McCurdy issues warning on grooming line she missed at 18 dating older man
Jennette McCurdy called out what she described as a classic grooming line while opening up about dating a man twice her age when she was 18.
McCurdy spoke about the age-gap relationship and the common “red flag” to watch out for while promoting her debut novel. The former Nickelodeon star wrote “Half His Age,” inspired by her own experiences.
The actress said her decision to date an older man at a young age felt justified at the time, shaped by a belief that she was unusually mature and emotionally self-sufficient. McCurdy recalled “thinking that [she] was mature, thinking that [she] was so smart that this could happen.”
“I remember thinking like, ‘Oh yeah, there’s just something about me that’s a little different. Like, I’m special.’ That’s what it felt like for me. I’m special, I can connect with older people, younger people aren’t on my wavelength,” she said during an appearance on “Call Her Daddy.”

McCurdy said the man used her perceived maturity to justify the age-gap relationship.
“It was, you know, ‘You’re so mature. I can’t talk to anyone this way. I can’t believe how smart you are,'” McCurdy recalled. “Like, are you kidding me? I was such an idiot. I’m so embarrassed. Also, how humiliating that he thought that was smart or even used being smart as a manipulation tactic because how stupid of him.”
Podcast host Alexandra Cooper and McCurdy agreed the maturity comment was a “red flag.”
“When you are in it, it may not feel like a red flag, but I think socially that concept has been spread around enough where people are like, ‘Got it.’ If a man is calling a woman f—ing mature for her age, please pause for five seconds and someone protect that young woman,” Cooper emphasized.
McCurdy explained her boyfriend at the time disguised the power imbalance by making her feel like she had control.
“That it was ultimately my choice. That it was ultimately up to me. That ultimately, I was the one in charge. And I think if you feel really powerless, you’ll take that bait,” McCurdy explained. “You know, you’ll take that, and you’ll go, ‘Okay, I really want that feeling of power even though my gut kind of knows this isn’t that, I’ll take what you’re saying, and I’ll try to run with it, and I’ll try to make it into some semblance of power.’ If you’re that desperate for it, you will take the bait. And I think I did.”

McCurdy’s first fiction novel comes as she adapts her 2022 memoir, “I’m Glad My Mom Died,” into a TV show starring Jennifer Aniston as her mom. She wrote the book after unpacking her childhood trauma in the wake of her mother’s death. Debra McCurdy died in 2013 after battling cancer.
In her memoir, McCurdy revealed she had been pushed into acting by her mother at a young age. The actress and author started as a child star and became well known for starring in the Nickelodeon series “iCarly” and “Sam & Cat,” which also starred Ariana Grande.

According to McCurdy, she struggled with eating disorders and anxiety tied to her mother’s manipulation.
She described her mom’s reaction when McCurdy attempted to broach the subject of quitting acting during her “Call Her Daddy” appearance.
“There was one time when I had tried to bring it up to my mom and said like, ‘I really, I don’t wanna act anymore.’ I was in the car, we were in our old Ford Windstar on the 101, and she really instantly went into that kind of — the mood switch that was really, really common to her. Where it was, ‘What? No, you’re gonna break mommy’s heart. What? No, you’re so good. This is our chance, this is our chance, this is our family’s chance.'”
“And it’s, I mean, it’s hysterics, it’s that, but it’s like tears pouring down the cheek screaming like really, really hysterical response,” she said.

Former late-night host Letterman criticizes major news organization in podcast rant
Comedian and former “Late Show” host David Letterman unloaded on “idiots” at CBS News during a podcast on Friday, calling the network a “wreck.”
“What about those idiots at CBS?” Letterman said during “The Barbara Gaines Show,” a podcast hosted by his former executive producer. “CBS News is a wreck, it’s just gone. CBS News for decades, going back to World War II — before World War II — they would be, Ed Murrow would be broadcasting the blitz of London from the rooftop of buildings in London for CBS Radio.”
“And it was that mentality that drove the integrity of CBS News that has been trampled on, p—– on, and eviscerated by these idiots that have taken it over. And I’m at a point now where it really is hurting my feelings. Because I’m sick and tired of people saying, ‘Oh, wait until those midterms.’ Kids, we’re far downstream of the midterms having any effect on this,” Letterman said.
Bari Weiss, who founded The Free Press, was named editor-in-chief of CBS News in October.

CBS News did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
Letterman also spoke about late-night comedians Jimmy Kimmel, Seth Meyers and Stephen Colbert during the interview.
He referenced Kimmel’s brief suspension over comments he made about Charlie Kirk’s alleged killer and said Kimmel “brought the people at Disney, and all of those other network television owners, to their knees.”

“And also Seth Meyers — he’s very good,” Letterman continued. “And I’m telling you, we’re running out of places where you hear these voices. And Stephen Colbert and that franchise, adios.”
“And let me just say one thing: If we had a president who was a Democrat — let’s just say we had a president who was a Democrat and behaved the way this Republican president is behaving — Jimmy would be attacking the Democrat just as much,” he argued.
Letterman said Kimmel’s attacks against Trump weren’t all “politically driven,” but rather driven by the person in the office.

Fatal plane crash claims popular singer and five others en route to performance
Yeison Jiménez, a 34-year-old Colombian singer-songwriter, died in a plane crash just hours before he was set to perform.
On Saturday, a plane crashed “in the sector between Paipa and Duitama,” in Colombia, the Special Administrative Unit of Civil Aeronautics announced on X. Six people on the flight were killed, one of whom was Jiménez.
“With heavy hearts and a pain impossible to describe, the organization and team of Yeison Jiménez deeply regret to inform you of his passing,” a statement translated from Spanish read from the musician’s official Instagram account. “Today we say goodbye not only to an artist; we say goodbye to a son, a brother, a friend, a human being full of dreams and courage, who transformed his story into hope for thousands of people. Yeison embodied perseverance, discipline, and love for his community. His voice and his example were born from hard work, and that is why they will forever mark the lives of those who followed and loved him.”

“To all the fans, colleagues, media outlets, and everyone who has supported Yeison throughout his career and during these difficult times: thank you for every message, every prayer, and all the love you are sending,” the statement continued. “We ask for your understanding and respect for the families’ grief and for the privacy we need today to say goodbye with the dignity and affection he deserves.”

“Yeison may be gone physically, but his legacy lives on: in his songs, in his words, in his struggles, in his refusal to give up, and in the indelible mark he leaves on Colombian regional music and in the hearts of his people,” the statement concluded. “His light will continue to shine every time someone sings one of his songs and remembers that it is possible to overcome adversity.”
According to The Sun, the plane — which was believed to be owned by Jiménez’s firm, YJ Company SAS — crashed moments after takeoff. Jiménez was reportedly traveling to Medellín to perform that night.
Jiménez had recently opened up about his premonition of dying in a plane crash.
“I dreamt three times that we were going to have a plane crash and that I had to tell the pilot to turn around. And when he arrived, he’d say, ‘Oh, boss, thank goodness you told me because something went wrong, but I fixed it, get in,'” Jimenez said in an interview with Colombian TV station Caracol.
“Those were the dreams. And in one of the dreams, I … dreamt that we had died and that we were on the news. And it was the third time I dreamt that. God gave me three signs, and I didn’t understand them, I didn’t get them,” Jimenez said.
