Harris County Deputy shot in the hand by 3-year-old nephew while sleeping
Houston Texas – An off-duty Harris County Sheriff’s Office deputy was shot in the hand while sleeping after his 3-year-old nephew discharged a firearm at home on Tuesday, according to Harris County Precinct 4 deputies.
Deputies say that the gun was holstered, and somehow the child got hold of the firearm.
Authorities said the off-duty deputy was treated at a hospital and is in stable condition.
According to Pct. 4, the deputy’s mother was at home at the time of the shooting.
An investigation is still ongoing.
So what are we supposed to do now?
Police executioners.
This is what fascism looks like
America feels like a country on the brink of an authoritarian takeover
Wearing helmets, gas masks and camouflage fatigues, the federal agents took aim and prepared to open fire. “It’s like Call of Duty,” one could be heard saying via a TV mic, referring to a first-person shooter military video game. “So cool, huh?”
This was the scene on the streets of Minneapolis on Saturday after armed agents, wearing masks and tactical vests, wrestled 37-year-old Alex Pretti to the ground and shot him dead. The killing took place just over a mile from where Renee Good was fatally shot on 7 January, a scene that itself was less than a mile from where police murdered George Floyd in May 2020.
“How many more residents, how many more Americans need to die or get badly hurt for this operation to end?” the Minneapolis mayor, Jacob Frey, demanded at a press conference on Saturday, referring to the Trump administration’s ongoing immigration crackdown in Minneapolis. An angry crowd gathered and swore profanities at federal officers, calling them “cowards” and telling them to go home.
Donald Trump spoke of “American carnage” in his first inaugural address nine years ago. The US president has surely delivered it by deploying Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents to the streets of a major city in order to create a spectacle of terror reminiscent of a civil war – or a video game.
“Those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it”
Minneapolis – Federal ICE agents murdered a man, drawing crowds of angry protesters to the shooting scene in a city already reeling from two other shootings by federal law enforcement this month.
The shooting occurred on a frigid morning as federal agents, seen in video footage, wrestled a man to the ground before a burst of gunfire. It marks the second death this month linked to the Trump administration’s supercharged immigration crackdown in the Twin Cities, including the high-profile January 7 shooting of US citizen Renee Good. A week after Good was killed, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer shot and wounded a Venezuelan man in the leg in Minneapolis.
The man killed Saturday, Alex Pretti, was described by city officials as a 37-year-old lawful gun owner and US citizen. Conflicting accounts from local, state and federal officials about what led to his death have strengthened calls for the Trump administration to halt its immigration crackdown in Minneapolis.
Texas Police Invested Millions in a Shadowy Phone-Tracking Software. They Won’t Say How They’ve Used It.
Texas spent millions on a Shadowy Phone-Tracking Software to Spy On Texans.
Sheriff Roy Boyd worked as a career cop in the neighboring South Texas city of Victoria before being elected sheriff of Goliad County in 2020. He’s since hobnobbed with President Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago and met repeatedly with border czar Tom Homan, and he leads a multijurisdictional task force named after Operation Lone Star, Governor Greg Abbott’s multi-billion-dollar border militarization mission. The task force pools deputies and resources from nearly 60 Texas agencies, mainly for anti-smuggling operations. It began with mostly rural departments, but it expanded to include more populous counties, the Texas National Guard, the U.S. Border Patrol, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and the Coast Guard. Task force members have spent at least $300,000 on Tangles, and according to emails obtained from Goliad County, many have been granted access to the software, which can track mobile device movements via third-party commercial data.
The software has been criticized by civil liberties advocates, especially given that its WebLoc add-on enables warrantless device tracking. Normally, when U.S. police officers seek cell phone records or location data, they must obtain a warrant by presenting probable cause of a crime to a judge. In 2018, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Carpenter v. United States that warrants are required for obtaining location data from cell phone providers. But the rise of the multi-billion-dollar data broker industry has created a free-for-all that enables police and others to purchase massive amounts of cell phone location data without judicial review.
Fayette County Deputies Arrived With Weapons Drawn on a Man- County Facing Federal Lawsuit
La Grange, Texas – A Texas man says a routine walk through La Grange turned into an armed standoff, jail confinement, and a federal civil-rights lawsuit after Fayette County deputies responded to two 911 calls reporting nothing more than a person legally carrying a firearm.
Jayce Gilliam filed suit in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas on December 30, 2025, naming Fayette County, Deputy Seth Daniel Nagel, and Sergeant Ron Naumann over what happened on July 13, 2024. The filing states Gilliam was walking near 680 East LaFayette Street with a rifle on a sling and a concealed handgun when law enforcement arrived, even though he was holding only a camera and never touched or pointed either firearm.
DHS detained a toddler and her father on Thursday and flew them to Texas before returning the child on the judge’s order
Federal immigration agents detained a two-year-old girl and her father in Minneapolis on Thursday and transported them to Texas, according to court records and the family’s lawyers.
The father, identified in court filings as Elvis Joel TE, and his daughter were stopped and detained by officers around 1pm when they were returning home from the store. By the evening, a federal judge had ordered the girl be released by 9.30pm. But federal officials instead put both of them on a plane heading to a Texas detention center.
Irina Vaynerman, one of the family’s lawyers, told the Guardian late Friday afternoon that immigration officials had since flown both of them back to Minnesota and released the two-year-old into the custody of her mother. The father remains detained in Minnesota, she said.
Court records and the attorney’s accounts paint a harrowing picture of the toddler and father’s detention and the frantic efforts that followed to get her released from custody and reunited with her mother.

Rusk Police Chief Scott Heagney was terminated following an “internal issue”
RUSK, Texas – The city of Rusk announced Friday that Police Chief Scott Heagney had been terminated following his placement on administrative leave after an “internal issue.”

How courts grant qualified immunity to police accused of off-duty misconduct
HOUSTON — Shanita Terrell believes someone spiked her drink the night she stopped by a Houston bar in 2020. Intoxicated and disoriented, she remembers little of what happened after that. A married mother of two who had recently moved to the city, Terrell did not know the Harris County Sheriff’s Office deputy who approached her in full uniform. Deputy Mark Cannon, working off-duty as a security guard at the bar, handed her a bottle of water before escorting her outside and encouraging her to go home with another law enforcement officer – a man she did not know. Hours later, Terrell woke up in pain.
What happened in between — reconstructed through the plaintiff’s allegations in court records and disciplinary rulings in police internal affairs files — raises questions about the supervision of law enforcement officers in off-duty environments and what recourse citizens have when something goes wrong.

Personal Details of Thousands of Border Patrol and ICE Goons Allegedly Leaked in Huge Data Breach
A DHS whistleblower appears to have exposed data on federal immigration workers after the shooting of Renee Good
Sensitive details of around 4,500 ICE and Border Patrol employees—including almost 2,000 agents working in frontline enforcement—have allegedly been released by a Department of Homeland Security whistleblower following last week’s fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good.
The Jan. 7 killing of the mother by ICE agent Jonathan Ross in Minneapolis, Minnesota, has sparked nationwide protests and worldwide outrage, including among some DHS employees.
The alleged leak to ICE List, a self-styled “accountability initiative,” is believed to be the largest ever breach of DHS staff data. It appears to include names, work emails, telephone numbers, roles, and some resumé data, including previous jobs of federal immigration staff.
According to Skinner, who leads the volunteer-run website, the dataset includes about 1,800 on-the-ground agents and 150 supervisors. Early analysis by the organization suggests that around 80 per cent of the staff identified remain employed by DHS.
Trump tells the police in America to go F*ck themselves
Officers who defended the Capitol on Jan. 6 say their struggles linger
Official plaque honoring U.S. Capitol police from Jan. 6 riot nowhere to be found
WASHINGTON — Approaching the fifth anniversary of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, the official plaque honoring the police who defended democracy that day is nowhere to be found.
It’s not on display at the Capitol, as is required by law. Its whereabouts aren’t publicly known, though it’s believed to be in storage.
Determined to preserve the nation’s history, some 100 members of Congress, mostly Democrats, have taken it upon themselves to memorialize the moment. For months, they’ve mounted poster board-style replicas of the Jan. 6 plaque outside their office doors, resulting in a Capitol complex awash with makeshift remembrances.
Capitol Police officers who defended the building on Jan. 6 battle ongoing trauma and injuries, compounded by Trump’s pardons of 1,500 terrorists who attacked them.
Officers struggle not just with physical injuries but with public and political efforts to minimize the violence, despite video evidence documenting the brutal attack.
Preschool Teacher, 22, Arrested on TV After Condemning Trump
Cops moved in with handcuffs while the teacher was still on camera
A preschool teacher was arrested on camera as soon as she finished a TV interview criticizing Donald Trump, fueling the debate over protest policing and free speech.
Jessica Plichta, 22, said she was the only person arrested among roughly 200 demonstrators at an anti-war protest in Grand Rapids, Michigan, on Saturday, hours after Nicolas Maduro was detained in Caracas by the U.S. military.
In the broadcast footage, two officers could be seen approaching from behind as she wrapped her interview with WZZM, the city’s ABC affiliate, then escorted her away as she told them, “I am not resisting arrest.”
She also said officers repeatedly pressed her on whether she was Venezuelan, what her connection to Venezuela was, and why she had attended the protest. Plichta claimed they tried to get her to identify other demonstrators.
According to Plichta, they stopped again, pulled her out, bent her over the vehicle, patted her down, and took her belongings. She recalled one officer saying they moved her because she was “making a scene.”
“It just shows how much they feel they can get away with things, how easy it is for them to isolate people from the public eye when they’re doing this.”
Plichta said she largely stayed quiet as officers took her to jail, where she said the same questions continued. She was released about three hours later, after other protesters gathered to demand she be freed and was seen punching the air in a video shared on Facebook.

A Conroe judge told officers he was worthy of special treatment during the DWI stop
Conroe, Texas – Conroe Municipal Court Judge William Waggoner, facing charges for driving while under the influence and unlawful carrying of a weapon, was disciplined in the military for DUI, according to new court documents.
Judge Waggoner was arrested last week in Montgomery after investigators said his vehicle was driving 61 miles per hour in a 35-mile-per-hour zone.
An arrest affidavit obtained this week states the officer noticed a strong smell of alcohol, glassy and bloodshot eyes, slurred speech and that Waggoner was unsteady on his feet.
Waggoner also told the officer to “be aware that he is a judge.”
Waggoner admitted he had been driving, but denied drinking, according to court records. Officers asked him to do standardized field sobriety tests, but documents say he refused to complete the walk-and-turn and one-leg stand tests. He also refused chemical tests, including breath, blood and urine.
Then in 2014, he was arrested for DWI. But the assistant district attorney at the time dismissed the charge, citing “insufficient evidence.”
Most recently in 2017, he was arrested for DWI in San Antonio. Court records show he took a plea deal, got the crime down to a lesser charge and completed court orders to avoid conviction. The charge was dismissed.
Austin police officer fired for excessive force in 2024 arrest of intoxicated woman
Photo of Officer Joseph Spees from June 21, 2019
Austin Police Officer Joseph Spees was fired on Dec. 3 after internal investigations concluded the veteran cop used excessive and unreasonable force against an intoxicated woman during a Dec. 7, 2024, arrest outside the Austin Marriott Downtown, according to a police memo released.
“Any objectively reasonable officer — and especially an experienced and well-trained officer like Officer Spees — should have been able to handle minimal resistance without immediately resorting to a violent takedown that caused considerable injury,” Austin Police Chief Lisa Davis wrote in the memo. “I would be doing a disservice to the community members of Austin if I retained Officer Spees.”
Harris County Pct. 4 constable deputy sentenced to 35 years in prison after the murder of a motorcyclist in 2023
HARRIS COUNTY, Texas – A former Precinct 4 constable deputy who was charged with murder in the 2023 death of a motorcyclist has been sentenced to 35 years in prison, according to court records.
Aaron Grant, 38, was convicted of shooting Jesse Metzger on January 27, 2023.
Investigators said Metzger was found shot by his friends near his motorcycle in a Home Depot parking lot on the North Freeway at Holzwarth Road just after midnight.
Officials said that the man was returning from dinner when he called friends and told them that he was being followed by someone in a white Jeep Compass.
However, while driving, he encountered Grant on the North Freeway. Police said Grant pulled parallel to Metzger and then fired a shot. Officials said the victim had been hit in his arm before it entered a body cavity.
He was later pronounced dead, officials said.

Texas Police Officer Charged with Manslaughter After 2 Siblings, Ages 8 and 10, Are Killed in Car Crash
BAYTOWN, Texas – New details have emerged in the deadly crash involving a Baytown police officer that killed two young brothers and injured their mother and sisters.
A Harris County grand jury indicted Baytown police officer Michael Hightower on two counts of manslaughter in the deaths of 10-year-old Jude Russell and 8-year-old Ryver Russell. He also faces one count of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon because their older sister was also seriously injured.
The crash happened on Oct. 23 when Hightower’s patrol car collided with a minivan carrying six members of the family. Initially, investigators believed the crash was a tragic accident. The crash report showed Hightower had the right-of-way at the intersection.
However, investigators later recovered vehicle data revealing Hightower was driving at an extremely high speed. Sources say he was traveling 95mph in a 40mph zone. Court records also show that his emergency lights and sirens were not activated at the time of the crash.

Liberty County reserve deputy constable arrested in College Station for public intoxication and unlawful carry of a weapon
COLLEGE STATION, Texas – An off-duty reserve deputy with Liberty County’s Constable Pct. 4 was arrested in College Station early Saturday morning, just after midnight, for being publicly intoxicated while also having a loaded gun.
According to police reports, Jared Oliver was at a bar on Northgate where he was flashing his badge, telling multiple people that he was an undercover officer. At one point, he said to a bar employee that he had a gun on him.
Officers with the College Station Police Department arrived to investigate possible “criminal activity”. After talking to the bar management and an employee, they began looking for Oliver, who had generated a bar tab.
Liberty County’s Constable Pct. 4
They learned what he was wearing and that he was with a woman. Eventually, police found him drinking at a booth. When asked if he had a gun on him, he responded by saying, “I’m a cop! I do. I’m a police officer.”
He was told to place his hands behind his back, as he asked not to be handcuffed. Police saw a handgun in his waist and also found a “silver star law enforcement badge” after Oliver told them that he worked in Liberty County Pct. 4.

They took him outside the bar, where police noticed he was “extremely intoxicated.” Oliver told police he couldn’t remember when he started drinking or how many drinks he had. He then added that a man, who claimed to be in a gang, approached him that night, telling him his gang says he’s an undercover cop, but he wasn’t going to tell them.

Due Process no longer applies in America
Due process of law is the application by the state of all legal rules and principles about a case so all legal rights that are owed to a person are respected. Due process balances the power of the law of the land and protects the person from it. When a government harms a person without following the exact course of the law, this constitutes a due process violation, which offends the rule of law.

Bryan – A Fourth of July family celebration in Bryan took a traumatic turn for one local man who says he was tackled and wrongfully detained by police in front of his children.
Marcellious McGee was attending a backyard cookout with family and friends. According to McGee and several witnesses, officers ignored pleas from the crowd that they had the wrong person and proceeded to detain him anyway.
“They came to me and I stopped, and I’m looking at the guy like, what’s going on?” McGee recalled. “Because they’re charging at me and I have my hands up. And while I’m looking at the officer head-on, another officer came from behind and football tackled me.”
