Los Angeles Police Use “Less Lethal” Ammunition in Protest Incident

A two-year-old boy named Montrell Williams has been missing since May 10, and New York police suspect his father may have thrown him into the Bronx River. According to local law enforcement, Montrell was last seen with his father after a family gathering, wearing a white T-shirt and a diaper. Detectives obtained security footage showing the 20-year-old father reportedly discarding a bag into the river shortly after leaving the area. The boy's mother called the police on the same evening, expressing concern over her son's whereabouts. Tensions escalated on June 7 when the father allegedly brandished a knife during a confrontation about the child. On June 9, the father made a troubling statement regarding Montrell's location, prompting a welfare complaint filed by the child's mother and grandmother with Family Court. An arrest warrant for the father was issued thereafter, leading to his detention for interrogation, although no formal charges have been filed yet. Police have released a photograph of Montrell and are seeking public assistance in locating him.

Khaby Lame, the world's most followed TikTok star, was detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents at Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas after allegedly overstaying his visa, according to an ICE spokesperson. The Senegalese-Italian influencer, known legally as Seringe Khabane Lame, was taken into custody following his arrival in the U.S. on April 30, 2025. He has since left the country without facing a deportation order, opting instead for voluntary departure, which allows him to return in the future without adverse immigration consequences. During his time in the U.S., Lame attended high-profile events such as the Met Gala, solidifying his status as a prominent figure in pop culture. He gained fame during the COVID-19 pandemic for his viral videos reacting to complex life hacks with minimal commentary. With 162.2 million followers on TikTok, Lame has secured significant branding partnerships, including a multi-year deal with Hugo Boss, and was appointed a UNICEF goodwill ambassador earlier this year. Lame has not yet publicly addressed the incident.

Sa’ad bin Atef al-Awlaki, head of al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), issued a chilling call for the assassination of prominent American figures, including President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and tech billionaire Elon Musk, according to US intelligence sources. In a 34-minute propaganda video titled "Inciting the Believers," al-Awlaki cited their pro-Israel positions as justification for revenge amid ongoing conflict in Gaza. Al-Awlaki urged Muslims in the US to carry out violent acts with no "red lines" against American targets, declaring, “Do not consult anyone about killing infidel Americans.” He also incited violence against Jews, saying, “Do not leave a single safe place for Jews,” a statement echoing rising antisemitic sentiments. AQAP, considered one of the most dangerous affiliates of the broader al-Qaida network, has garnered international attention for prior terror plots, including the notorious 2009 "underwear bomber" incident. The US State Department continues to classify AQAP as a foreign terrorist organization and is closely monitoring the latest threats.
