EL PASO, Texas (KVIA) — With ongoing protests, marches and other social movements, among other events, local organizations in El Paso are set to speak up against targeted enforcement operations and arrests conducted by federal agencies.

The Border Network for Human Rights will host a candlelight vigil for what they call “demanding ICE to stop terrorizing communities and for the withdrawal of military from the border and Los Angeles.”

The candlelight vigil is set to happen tonight at 6:30 p.m. at San Jacinto Plaza.

“This is a reckless and authoritarian abuse of power that endangers the civil and human rights of every American,” said Fernando Garcia, executive director of the Border Network for Human Rights. “What we’re seeing in Los Angeles is not new—it’s the amplification of a strategy we’ve endured at the border for years.”

Another local organization called Casa Carmelita will protest “in support of families going to immigration court” outside the Richard C. White Federal Building in Downtown tomorrow from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

A Columbia man was charged with first-degree domestic assault on Monday.

A court date has not been scheduled for Jesse Jones. He was listed on the Boone County Jail roster on Tuesday evening and is being held without bond. Police wrote in a press release that his address was Centralia.

The Columbia Police Department wrote in a Tuesday evening press release that Jones, 38, was arrested in Hallsville.

According to the probable cause statement, multiple people called first responders on Sunday after seeing the victim walking near Ash Street and Ash Court looking “distressed, panicked and grunting with blood” on their shirt.

Police spoke with the victim near West Broadway and Greenwood Avenue. The victim had a broken jaw, had trouble talking and was bleeding, the statement says. The woman was brought to Boone Hospital for surgery, the statement says. The victim was able to identify Jones as the assailant, court documents say.

While at the hospital, the victim allegedly referred to other assaults, but did not disclose more details out of fear for their safety, the statement says.

The victim couldn’t remember all of the details of the most-recent assault, but told police she was hit by Jones while they were in a car with him, the statement says. She lost consciousness after the hit, but woke up with a broken jaw and was bleeding, the statement says.

Alzheimer’s Awareness Month: A local caregiver shares her story

KTVZ on June 10, 2025

Lynsey Harris

SISTERS, Ore. (KTVZ) — June is Alzheimer’s Awareness Month, and each week, we’re sharing local stories of those living with memory loss, and those who care for them.

This week, Lynsey Harris sat down with Debbie McCune of Sisters, who has been caring for her husband Doug since his Alzheimer’s diagnosis.

“You’ve been a care partner for so long that it’s — I don’t know who I’ll be that day when I’m no longer that,” she said.

Debbie describes the journey as “the long goodbye,” losing small pieces of Doug — and their shared life — each day. Still, she finds joy in the little moments: Doug singing along to Elvis, or their dog offering comfort at bedtime.

She says the hardest lesson has been learning to ask for help, and encourages others to do the same. As a community educator with the Alzheimer’s Association, Debbie hopes more families seek out support groups and have important conversations early.

Dozens of kids reliving American history during Constitution Day Camp this week

KIFI on June 10, 2025

Sam Ross

POCATELLO, Idaho (KIFI)– Reconnect Southeast Idaho, a nonprofit community group created during the COVID-19 pandemic, is hosting their annual ‘Constitution Day Camp’ where kids have a chance to experience American history firsthand this week.

At Constitution Day Camp, kids take on the role of early American colonists and learn about life in the nation’s formative years through hands-on activities like making bread, putting wax seals on their own copies of the Hanover Resolves, and conducting military drills like the colonial Virginia militia.

“Constitution Camp is an immersive place where kids come and they learn lessons,” said Michele Holyoak, an elementary school teacher and camp director of Constitution Day Camp. “…But the most important part of what they learn here is to love our country… We are hoping to just build these kids to have a love of our country and to have patriotism and to be able to stand up for what’s right and to stand up for their rights and hopefully carry that into adulthood.”

The day camp started on Monday and welcomed over 70 kids, and more than 50 volunteers to their historically educational week of activities, which culminates in a patriotic musical performance on Friday evening for families and members of the community.

The musical performance will be 6 p.m. at the Calvary Chapel at 1633 Olympus Drive in Pocatello. For more information, you can visit Reconnect Southeast Idaho’s website.

Board approves $100K campaign against illegal use of fireworks

KESQ on June 10, 2025

City News Service

RIVERSIDE, Calif. (KESQ) – The Board of Supervisors today approved a $100,000 contract with a media marketing firm to conduct a public awareness campaign emphasizing the penalties for illegal use of fireworks in Riverside County.   

In a 5-0 vote without comment, the board signed off on the Executive Office’s agreement with Fountain Valley-based 3 Olives Media LLC to handle social media, traditional media and other messaging focused on fireworks education outreach.

The compact will be in effect until Aug. 31. The same media company was retained for fireworks safety campaigns in 2023 and 2024.   

“A robust public information campaign regarding the use of illegal fireworks and enforcement programs will enhance the safety of our communities by lessening associated risks,” according to an Executive Office statement.   

The fireworks education effort will focus on highlighting the county’s regulations on pyrotechnics and the penalties that can be assessed for igniting them around the Fourth of July, or any other time of year.

In April 2021, the Office of County Counsel, in collaboration with the Sheriff’s Department and Cal Fire, drafted amendments to long-standing regulations codified under county Ordinance No. 858 prohibiting illegal pyrotechnics.

Under the amendments, higher civil penalties were established, ranging from $1,000 to $5,000. The amount depends on the number of violations within a 36-month period. The previous fines were between $500 and $1,000.   

The revisions also created liabilities for property owners who knowingly permit someone to light illegal fireworks, further increasing penalties.

This year’s awareness campaign will rely on roadside digital billboards, newspaper space, satellite radio, conventional radio and social media to reach residents.

Officers from the Department of Code Enforcement, along with sheriff’s deputies and Cal Fire law enforcement officers, can issue citations and make arrests.

Igniting fireworks for recreation or entertainment is prohibited in all unincorporated communities countywide, as well as in most municipalities. However, cities can issue permits for pyrotechnics shows.   

Illegal fireworks can be reported via https://www.riversidesheriff.org/555/fireworks, or at 800-950-2444.

Daughter of recently deported mother speaks out against ICE in Ventura County

KEYT on June 10, 2025

Mina Wahab

VENTURA COUNTY, Calif. — In a recorded conversation, Maria, a Ventura County mother of 3 gives us a glimpse of the horrific conditions she experienced at an ICE detention center saying, “I couldn’t stand the cold. I couldn’t sleep from the cold, and they wouldn’t give me a sweater.”

Maria was detained by ICE and taken from Camarillo to a Los Angeles detention center, where she was then deported to Mexico. On Monday, we spoke with her daughter Erika Perez, who is now left to take care of her 2 younger siblings alone. “I was bawling my eyes out. I could not believe it. I was in complete shock. I the last thing my mom told me was keep fighting. Something good is going to happen,” said Perez, who lives in Newbury Park. Perez says that her mother came to the U.S. illegally when she was 17.

She says her mom has no criminal record and has lived in the United States ever since. She worked as a custodian to provide for her family. “My mom was not a criminal. She paid her taxes. She tried to do everything the right way. And people say we’ll do it the right way, but there’s no path to a right way,” said Perez. Government officials announced that ICE detained more than 2,200 people across the country on June 3, marking the highest number of immigration arrests in a single day in American history. “These are basically like torture chambers. Like, this is incredibly horrific and this is not the first time, unfortunately, that we’ve heard of people being, you know, going without food for like hours, you know, 14 hours without food is basically torture, not being given access to like hygiene products, menstrual products or showers,” said VC Defensa Organizer Elaine Yompian.

VC Defensa is a Ventura County based group of volunteers that aims to help immigrants.

Yompian, who helps guide the volunteers and those utilizing their services says once someone is deported, there’s not much they can do legally. She says when it comes to ICE, there’s a lack of due process.  “What we’ve been seeing over the last few weeks is that they have this new tactic that they’ve had all across the country, which where they’re basically taking people from their check ins. So people will go to the Camarillo office for a regular appointment, regular check in, and they just won’t come back out,” said Yompian. On Sunday, VC Defensa had an emergency meeting to help come up with a plan to protect people from ICE raids. They add that their hotline has been ringing non-stop Monday, and that they already know of two ICE arrests that took place in Oxnard Monday morning.  805 UndocuFund published an update last month confirming at least 55 ICE arrests on the Central Coast so far in President Trump’s second term — mainly in farming communities in Santa Maria, Lompoc, and Oxnard. Multiple organizations on the Central Coast are working to host “Know Your Rights” workshops.
