Video shows illegal immigrants tied to viral bridge gunfire, road-rage shooting: police
A viral video showing gunmen firing from a Dallas bridge on New Year’s has now led to multiple arrests and immigration holds as police say the suspects were involved in repeated acts of gun violence across North Texas.
The Dallas Police Department announced the arrests Tuesday, identifying Anthony Acevedo, 20, and Jose AlarconSanchez, 18, both of Grand Prairie, as two of the suspects seen in multiple social media videos firing guns from the Margaret McDermott Bridge over Interstate 30, just west of downtown Dallas.
The reckless gunfire, captured on camera and viewed worldwide, according to police, sparked immediate public outrage and a large-scale investigation.
Detectives with DPD’s Central Patrol Division and Special Investigations Unit launched what police described as an aggressive and exhaustive investigation, working alongside the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the U.S. Attorney’s Office. Investigators recovered more than 100 shell casings near the bridge.

During the investigation, detectives learned AlarconSanchez had been arrested earlier that same morning by the Grand Prairie Police Department for a similar firearms offense on January 1, 2026.
As the case expanded, investigators uncovered evidence linking 25-year-old Anderson Derce Lara to a separate road-rage shooting in November. Police say Derce Lara fired multiple rounds into a vehicle carrying three adults and three children, narrowly missing the victims.
With assistance from the ATF, investigators executed a search warrant and recovered multiple firearms, including rifles matching those seen in the viral bridge video, further tying Derce Lara to both incidents.

Acevedo and AlarconSanchez are charged with discharge of a firearm in certain municipalities, a class A misdemeanor. Derce Lara faces six counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, a first-degree felony.
Police said Acevedo has been released on bond, while AlarconSanchez and Derce Lara are being held on immigration detainers.

The investigation remains ongoing.
Trump files $10B lawsuit against IRS over alleged tax return leaks
President Donald Trump has filed a $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS, accusing the agency of unlawfully leaking his confidential tax returns in a politically motivated violation of federal privacy laws.
A spokesman for Trump’s legal team told Fox News “a rogue, politically motivated” IRS employee disclosed private and confidential tax information involving Trump, his family and the Trump Organization to outlets, including The New York Times and ProPublica.
The suit claims the disclosures were illegal and harmed millions by violating federal privacy laws.
TRUMP FILES ‘POWERHOUSE’ $10 BILLION LAWSUIT AGAINST BBC OVER DOCUMENTARY EDITING HIS JAN 6 REMARKS
That contractor at the heart of the leak, Charles Littlejohn, pleaded guilty in October 2023 to a single felony count of unauthorized disclosure of tax return information and is serving a five-year prison sentence.
Littlejohn admitted to stealing and leaking Trump’s tax records to The New York Times and to disclosing confidential tax data involving wealthy individuals to ProPublica.
WHAT’S BEHIND TRUMP’S HEATED FEUD WITH THE BBC THAT RESULTED IN $5 BILLION LAWSUIT THREAT?
According to the lawsuit, Littlejohn testified in a 2024 deposition that the Trump materials he leaked included information on all of Trump’s business holdings.
As previously reported by Fox News Digital, Littlejohn refused to testify before Congress, invoking his Fifth Amendment rights while appealing his sentence.

According to a June 2025 Judiciary Committee press release, DOJ prosecutors said Littlejohn’s disclosures were “unprecedented in its scope and scale.”
Olympic gold medalist with growing history of controversy arrested again in Florida
U.S. Olympic sprinter Sha’Carri Richardson was arrested on a speeding charge after allegedly driving more than 100 mph in Florida Thursday.
Authorities said Richardson was driving 104 mph and dangerously passing other motorists on the highway.
It is the latest controversy in a growing series of off-track issues for the American gold medalist.
In August, Richardson was arrested for allegedly assaulting her boyfriend, fellow American sprinter Christian Coleman, at the Seattle Tacoma Airport.

Security footage of the incident showed Richardson approaching Coleman from out of the frame and appears to grab his backpack from behind. Richardson appeared to grill Coleman and nudged him before shoving him into a wall, nudging him more later on.

The two appeared to exchange words while walking toward security, with Richardson still nudging him and appearing to reach for his face.
Coleman declined to pursue the case, a police report said.
In January 2023, Richardson was booted off a plane after a dispute with a flight attendant who she said spoke to her in a disrespectful manner.

In 2021, Richardson was banned from competing at the Tokyo Olympics after she tested positive for THC, a chemical found in marijuana. She accepted a one-month suspension by the United States Anti-Doping Agency, making her ineligible for the 100 meters. She was also not selected for the 4×100 relay team.
The sprinter made her Olympic debut in Paris in 2024, winning gold in the women’s 4×100-meter relay and silver in the 100 meters.
White House reaches compromise with Democrats after Republican defections
Senate Democrats and the White House reached a deal to fund the government, but lawmakers aren’t out of the woods of averting a partial shutdown.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and President Donald Trump labored over a deal from late night Wednesday until Thursday evening after the top Senate Democrat unleashed several funding demands and the White House accused Schumer of blocking a meeting with rank-and-file Democrats.
“The separation of the five bipartisan bills the Democrats asked for, plus the two-week DHS [continuing resolution] has been agreed to,” Schumer said in a statement.
Trump, in a post on Truth Social, said the “only thing that can slow our Country down is another long and damaging Government Shutdown.”
SENATE GOP HOLDOUTS REFUSE TO BUDGE AS SHUTDOWN TALKS CONTINUE
“I am working hard with Congress to ensure that we are able to fully fund the Government, without delay,” Trump said. “Republicans and Democrats in Congress have come together to get the vast majority of the Government funded until September, while at the same time providing an extension to the Department of Homeland Security (including the very important Coast Guard, which we are expanding and rebuilding like never before).
“Hopefully, both Republicans and Democrats will give a very much-needed Bipartisan “YES” Vote.”
The deal brokered between the two would have the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) funding bill stripped from the broader six-bill package. Schumer and Democrats have been adamant that if the bill were sidelined, they’d vote for the remaining five, which includes funding for the Pentagon.
Their agreement also tees up a short-term funding extension, known as a continuing resolution (CR), for two weeks to keep the agency funded while lawmakers negotiate restrictions on Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
Trump and Schumer’s bipartisan truce comes after Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., and Senate Republicans barreled ahead with a test vote on the funding package that was ultimately torpedoed by Senate Democrats and a cohort of seven Republicans earlier in the day.
7 REPUBLICANS JOIN DEMS TO BLOCK MAJOR GOVERNMENT FUNDING PACKAGE AS SHUTDOWN LOOMS
Republicans again have the opportunity to bring the package back to the floor, but to speed up the process, they would need consent from lawmakers on both sides of the aisle.
And they are still working out the kinks on their own end through the hotline process, where the package is scrutinized by every Senate Republican before being given the go-ahead for a floor vote.
Speeding up the process may prove tricky, given that several of the Republican defectors, including Sens. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., Rick Scott, R-Fla., and Ted Budd, R-N.C., were upset with earmarks baked into the bill.
And Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., wants an amendment vote on his provision to strip the bill of millions in “refugee welfare money” and signaled that he may slow the process down if he doesn’t get it.
TENSIONS BOIL IN HOUSE OVER EMERGING SENATE DEAL TO AVERT GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN
Many Senate Republicans recognize that stripping the DHS bill is not the best outcome but contended that it was better than not funding the government and entering yet another shutdown.
“That’s the only way we’re going to get through this without a long government shutdown,” Sen. Steve Daines, R-Mont., said.

Despite lawmakers reaching an agreement that will likely see the remaining bills passed and keep DHS funded for a month, the House will have to agree. They don’t return until next week, and fiscal hawks are already publicly panning the plan.
Elderly lottery winner sentenced for running large-scale drug operation with son
Authorities announced Wednesday that an elderly man who used his 2010 lottery winnings to run a drug empire from his cottage alongside his son and two accomplices, has been sentenced to jail.
John Eric Spiby, 80, was sentenced to 16 years in prison in England after an investigation uncovered counterfeit pills worth up to $400 million, Greater Manchester Police said. His son, John Colin Spiby, 37, was sentenced to nine years.
“They operated a fully industrialized drug manufacturing business capable of producing millions of counterfeit tablets containing a highly dangerous substance,” Alex Brown, detective inspector of the Serious Organized Crime Group that led the investigation, said in a statement.
FEDS ARREST FELON ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT AFTER SEIZING TENS OF MILLIONS IN METH STASHED IN BLACKBERRIES
“The volume of tablets we recovered — along with the sophisticated machinery — demonstrated how deeply embedded this group was in the illicit drug supply chain.”
Local United Kingdom outlet LBC reported that Spiby won the National Lottery in 2010, at around 65 years old, cashing in £2.4 million, equivalent to roughly $3.3 million in 2026.
During the sentencing, Judge Nicholas Clarke KC told LBC that, “despite your lottery win, you continued to live your life of crime beyond what would be a normal retirement age.”
Sometime between November 2021 and May 2022, Spiby equipped his cottage behind his home with an “industrial‑scale tablet manufacturing set-up capable of producing tens of thousands of tablets per hour,” police said. According to a court hearing, they were also able to “hide” his lab by frosting the windows, LBC reported.
The organization allegedly produced counterfeit diazepam tablets, also known as Valium, laced with etizolam, a substance banned in the U.S. normally prescribed for insomnia and anxiety. In high doses, etizolam can cause severe central nervous system depression, potentially leading to unconsciousness, respiratory failure and death.
The group also facilitated and supplied firearms including AK‑47s, an Uzi, Tec‑9s, a Scorpion, a Grand Power pistol, silencers and ammunition, police said.

In the early stages of the operation in August 2020, the group reportedly operated “under the guise of a lawful business” by creating a fake company along with a website advertising tablet presses, mixers, packaging machines and powdered supplements.
During the operation, the suspects rented a shipping container to store materials and millions of counterfeit tablets awaiting distribution. Officers, however, intercepted them in April 2022 and found a vehicle containing 2.6 million counterfeit diazepam tablets with an estimated street value between $1.4 million and $7 million.
The following month, a warrant led to the seizure of guns, ammunition, cash, machinery, counterfeit drugs and raw materials.
Police estimated the crime ring produced drugs with a potential street value equivalent to roughly $80 million to $400 million.
Of the other two accomplices, Callum Dorian, 35, received a 12‑year prison sentence in September 2024, while Lee Ryan Drury, 45, was sentenced to nine years.
The four members faced charges that included conspiracy to produce and supply Class C drugs, conspiracy to supply firearms, possession of firearms and ammunition and perverting the course of justice.

“These four individuals showed absolutely no regard for human life or public safety,” Brown said. “All they were interested in was lining their own pockets with significant financial gain.”

Another big business bolts California for Florida’s booming economy
As states compete for the next generation of high-tech and innovation-driven jobs, Florida has scored another major win.
D-Wave Quantum Inc., a publicly traded pioneer in quantum computing, announced it will relocate its corporate headquarters from Silicon Valley to Boca Raton, Florida, betting on the state’s rapidly expanding technology ecosystem.
“Florida represents one of the fastest growing technology ecosystems in the United States, and as such it was the ideal choice for our new corporate headquarters and U.S. R&D facility,” D-Wave CEO Dr. Alan Baratz said in a company press release. “The state offers a rich scientific and educational environment, a growing pool of highly skilled tech talent, and a vibrant spirit of innovation that made it attractive to D-Wave.”
The company plans to complete its transition to the new headquarters by the end of 2026 and is expected to create hundreds of high-paying technology and research-and-development jobs in the area. D-Wave said demand for its quantum technology continues to rise, and the new headquarters will help accelerate innovation and product development.
CRUISE INDUSTRY GIANT MAKES $100M STRATEGIC BET ON FLORIDA WITH MASSIVE MIAMI HEADQUARTERS
It joins a growing list of technology executives and companies relocating from California’s Golden State to Florida’s Sunshine State in recent months, as tensions mount over a proposed one-time 5% wealth tax in California.
D-Wave develops two types of custom quantum computers designed to solve complex problems much faster than traditional systems. Its customers include government agencies, Fortune 500 enterprises and leading research institutions.
The Boca Raton headquarters will include the company’s main research-and-development facility spanning 25,000 square feet inside the Boca Raton Innovation Campus (BRiC)—the same site where IBM developed the first personal computer in 1981.
The city has also been bullish on D-Wave’s move, with Florida Atlantic University committing $20 million to a partnership that will install one of the company’s Advantage2 quantum computers at the school’s Boca Raton campus.
Located between West Palm Beach and Miami, Boca Raton city officials launched a campaign last year urging business leaders to relocate their families and companies south—an effort that appears to have resonated with corporations such as D-Wave.
“The threat of people leaving high-tax, high-crime jurisdictions like New York and other places is real,” Boca Raton Mayor and U.S. congressional candidate Scott Singer told Fox News Digital in October.

“It’s been happening for years, and Boca Raton has been the beneficiary of a lot of businesses bringing their corporate headquarters and high-paying jobs here. I think the threat is even more real. People are already preparing to leave… we’re going to see a lot more people looking to bring their businesses here and create jobs in Boca Raton.”
“By welcoming D-Wave’s flagship U.S. R&D operations and its global headquarters to the Boca Raton Innovation Center,” Singer said in the company’s press release, “we are strengthening our position as a destination for advanced innovation, attracting top-tier technology talent and laying the foundation for long-term economic growth.”

Sydney Sweeney slips on her newly dropped lingerie designs in eye-popping photos
Sydney Sweeney continues to take the internet by storm with the launch of her new lingerie line, Syrn.
On Thursday, the “Euphoria” actress — who dropped her line on Jan. 28 — left fans reeling over her risqué lingerie photos.
“THE TRUE STAR OF HOLLYWOOD!!!!” one fan commented on Instagram.
SYDNEY SWEENEY TURNS UP THE HEAT WITH JAW-DROPPING PHOTOS AHEAD OF LINGERIE LINE LAUNCH
“She just killed the game,” another added.
“You’re simply gorgeous!!!” one fan wrote, with another dubbing Sweeney as a “GODDESS.”
On Tuesday, the 28-year-old actress took to social media to announce the Jan. 28 launch of Syrn (pronounced “sye-rin”) with sizzling new promotional photos.
“I was in the 6th grade with DDs. I hated the bra I had to wear,” Sweeney said in a statement via a press release obtained by Fox News Digital. “When I bought my first cute bra that actually fit, I wore it to pieces. Designing for different bodies is a huge part of Syrn.”
“I wanted to create a place where women can move between all the different versions of who we are,” she continued. “I love working on cars, I go waterskiing, I’ll dress up for the red carpet then go home to snuggle my dogs. I’m not one thing, no woman is.”
“Lingerie is such a fun way to express yourself,” she added. “You get to feel feminine, and you get to feel powerful. You get to keep it all for yourself, if you want.”
Syrn offers 44 sizes, ranging from 30B to 42DDD, with most styles under $100. The lingerie line is structured into four core personas that shape the style of the pieces: Comfy, Playful, Romantic and Seductress.
The Emmy-nominated actress has been working on a lingerie line that has received backing from Jeff Bezos and his wife, Lauren Sánchez Bezos, a source familiar with the matter told Us Weekly last year.
“This has been a huge project for her and something she’s been working on for the last year,” the source said.
Her brand was also backed by Ben Schwerin, a partner at private equity firm Coatue.
The private equity firm recently launched a fund focused on investing in high-growth public and private tech companies. The family offices of Bezos and PC company founder Michael Dell have committed to provide $1 billion of the initial capital for the fund, according to The Wall Street Journal.

A pitch deck viewed by the Journal indicated the fund aims to invest between 20% to 50% of its assets in private investments, with the rest earmarked for public stocks.
Joe Rogan exposes Democrats’ radical immigration shift as viral Obama clip resurfaces
Podcaster Joe Rogan marveled Wednesday at a viral 2010 clip of President Barack Obama defending deportation and immigration enforcement.
The clip, shared in a post on the social media platform X, emerged as Americans feud over Immigration and Customs Enforcement deportation raids launched since President Donald Trump returned to the White House.
Rogan spoke Wednesday with podcaster Andrew Wilson about the current battle over immigration.
Rogan is one of many influencers who have specifically highlighted Obama’s earlier policies on immigration and deportation that contrast sharply with the current Democratic Party stance.
ROGAN DEFENDS ICE RAIDS, SAYS ‘THEY HAVE TO DO THIS’ BECAUSE DEMS LET IN MILLIONS OF MIGRANTS, MANY CRIMINALS
“They think that once they get into power, everything will be fine. But it’s not going to,” Rogan said. “And, not only that, what would be fascinating is if someone from the left started behaving exactly like the people that are on the right, just did it from a perspective of the left, where you would think, ‘Oh, this is OK,’ and that’s what we got during the Obama administration.”
Rogan proceeded to have his producer share the viral Obama clip, noting, “By the way, Obama — and I was mistaken on this — I thought that a lot of the people that Obama deported were people that were turned away at the border. Uh-uh. That was a third. Most of the people out of the — I think it was about 3 million over the course of his presidency — were deported. Like arrested, deported. A lot of families were affected. Let’s put on the headphones so we can listen to the speech because this sounds very MAGA.”
During the 2010 speech, Obama pushed back against pro-immigration advocates calling for amnesty and a stop to deportations, responding, “I recognize the sense of compassion that drives this argument, but I believe such an indiscriminate approach would be both unwise and unfair.”
The president went on to warn, “It would suggest to those thinking about coming here illegally that there will be no repercussions for such a decision, and this could lead to a surge in more illegal immigration.

“Ultimately, our nation, like all nations, has the right and obligation to control its borders and set laws for residency and citizenship,” Obama said. “And no matter how decent they are, no matter their reasons, the 11 million who broke these laws should be held accountable.”
Obama added he was not in favor of deporting “11 million people.”
“That sounds so Republican. In 2010, that was a Democrat saying that, and everybody was like, ‘Well, OK,'” Rogan said. “And, not only that, Tom Homan, who is the head now, was the guy then, and he gave him a f—ing medal.”
Rogan asked his producer to find a famous clip of Hillary Clinton “where Hillary is more MAGA than Trump.”
In the 2008 clip, Clinton said, “I think we’ve gotta have tough conditions, tell people to come out of the shadows. If they’ve committed a crime, deport them. No questions asked, they’re gone. If they’ve been working and are law-abiding, we should say, ‘Here are the conditions for you staying. You have to pay a stiff fine because you came here illegally. You have to pay back taxes, and you have to try to learn English. And you have to wait in line!”

“Everybody cheered!” Rogan said.
“And now,” Trump’s a ‘Nazi,’” Wilson said, mocking liberal rhetoric, claiming Republicans are authoritarians today for pushing policies that were mainstream until recently.
Earlier in the episode, Rogan recalled his conversation with Elon Musk in which he said the Tesla CEO argued that mass immigration was essentially a plan to ensure the Democrats will never lose an election again.
“And one of the best ways to do that is to ship untold numbers of people to swing states” Rogan said.
Hunter Biden fights contempt motion tied to daughter, argues child’s feelings irrelevant
Hunter Biden said it is irrelevant that he suddenly “ghosted” his 7-year-old daughter, whom he shares with ex-stripper Lunden Roberts, arguing in a new legal filing that he was never legally obligated to have a relationship with her.
His lawyer made the statement Tuesday in response to Roberts reopening a 2019 paternity suit in Arkansas, alleging that the 55-year-old former first son did not honor the obligations he agreed to in 2023 and should be held in contempt of court, as well as increase child support payments.
In a motion filed on Jan. 13, Roberts claimed that Biden’s indifference caused their daughter, Navy Joan Roberts, “emotional trauma,” and that he failed to deliver the artwork he had promised, which reportedly lost significant value after his father left office.
Biden’s legal team moved to dismiss the motion and all of Roberts’ demands, first arguing that the child’s feelings and relationship with Biden are “immaterial” since the court never required personal communication.
HUNTER BIDEN ACCUSED OF GHOSTING DAUGHTER WITH LUNDEN ROBERTS AND VIOLATING CHILD SUPPORT AGREEMENT
“Specifically, the averments regarding the Child’s emotional state, her relationship with Defendant, and their communications and bonding … are not relevant to contempt or modification of child support,” his lawyer Davis Langdon said.
The son of former President Joe Biden has five children, including three from ex-wife Kathleen Buhle and one with his current wife, Melissa Cohen.
Roberts previously noted that the child and Biden had shared a brief period of bonding, speaking several times during a series of scheduled calls until “suddenly and without warning or explanation, Mr. Biden ghosted (Navy),” and caused Navy to experience “emotional trauma,” according to the motion.
“This has caused issues for (Navy), who recently experienced emotional trauma at a family member’s wedding when she realized that her dad would not walk her down the aisle or dance with her at her own wedding reception,” she said.
CHARLIE SHEEN ACCUSED OF OWING OVER $15 MILLION IN CHILD SUPPORT TO EX-WIFE BROOKE MUELLER
Biden, a self-taught painter whose works have been valued in the six-figure range while his father was in office, also stated that no specific legal timeline was established for delivering his artwork.
“Even if no paintings had been given to the Child to date, such would not violate the Order, because as long as thirty paintings are assigned to the Child by Defendant will have complied with the Order,” Langdon wrote.
Biden’s lawyer added that Navy will be able to choose the paintings she wants by a specific, though undisclosed, deadline.
HUNTER BIDEN SAYS HIS MISTAKES WERE ‘EXPLOITED’ FOR POLITICAL SPORT, HE WILL NEVER TAKE PARDON FOR GRANTED
He added that he does not need to provide additional child support Roberts is further seeking, despite her citing his recently improved “lavish lifestyle” and the disparity between Navy’s life and that of his other children, because she has not proven that his financial situation has in fact changed.
During the 2023 settlement, Roberts consented to reducing monthly child support payments from $20,000 to $5,000, according to the New York Post. The agreement also provided for some of the payments to be made with Biden’s paintings.

Biden’s legal team further added that Roberts’ allegations over the years were all made “merely for the purpose of embarrassing Defendant and making a national spectacle of Defendant’s personal life.”
