-Lurid Crime Tales-
California man released from custody after arrest in ABC news station shooting
[FoxNews] Dalton Hernandez Santana is 'expected' to appear in court on Tuesday. Sacramento man Anibal Hernandez Santana faces three felony charges, records show, with motive still under investigation.

[PUBLISH.TWITTER]
…The man, 64, previously worked as a legislative director for the California Federation of Teachers, the outlet reported.

“The authoritarian oligarchy is now complete. CBS+ caving, big law firms in DC, the subservients FBI and AG, university presidents stepping down, fan boys SCOTUS, public radio, ICE goons. We are going to have to ‘fight like hell’…” the account that appears to belong to him posted in July.

Hernandez-Santana was arrested on charges of assault with a deadly weapon, negligent discharge of a firearm, and shooting into an occupied building.

Insane.

#1  FBI arrested him anyway
The defense attorney for the man accused of shooting into the ABC10 television station in Sacramento says he was caught off guard by the FBI's involvement.

Anibal Hernandez-Santana, 64, was arrested by Sacramento police on Friday night and posted bail Saturday, only to be arrested again four hours later by the FBI.

"He posted bail under California state law. He was at home, we were talking on the phone, preparing for those charges. He was free for about four hours, stepped outside and the FBI went up and grabbed him," said Mark Reichel, Hernandez-Santana's defense attorney.

Saturday night, the FBI arrested Hernandez-Santana on allegations that he violated a federal statute that "no person shall willfully or maliciously interfere with or cause interference to any radio communications of any station licensed or authorized... by the United States government."

Alabama conducts first state-federal checkpoint operations with ICE, detaining over only 20 people
[FoxNews] Gov. Kay Ivey directs state agencies to work with federal immigration enforcement in novel collaboration

In what is reportedly one of the first instances of "checkpoint" operations between the Department of Homeland Security and a state police agency, more than two dozen people were detained within the past several days.

Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey confirmed to Fox News Digital that she directed the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency (ALEA) and other cabinet agencies to "work closely with ICE to catch criminal illegals."

Ivey praised ALEA’s work on a particularly lucrative "bust" in Russellville, which saw at least 20 people detained.

In a statement to Fox News Digital, ALEA confirmed that operation in which agency troopers conducted drivers' license checkpoints in Franklin and Colbert counties, where ICE special agents were present.

More than one-third of area residents identify as Hispanic, according to census figures, which eclipses the statewide proportion of 6%.

ALEA directed Fox News Digital to ICE for immigration-specific data from its collaboration.

"Driver license checkpoints occur all over the state and are one of the ways we stop criminals in their tracks, and now, we include ICE agents in these efforts," Ivey said.

The Republican, who is term-limited next year, added that criminal illegal immigrants are not welcome in her state, and that every "tool in the toolbox" will be used to keep residents and visitors safe.

Throughout the summer, ICE also made two dozen arrests in Baldwin County, home of the famed white-sand "Redneck Riviera" beach towns.

Arrests were made at sites in Loxley – along Interstate 10 north of Orange Beach – and Spanish Fort, which lies on the other end of the George Wallace Tunnel from Mobile.

The operations led one immigration advocate in that region to suggest immigrants write phone numbers on their bodies to be able to contact family in case they are detained by ICE, according to AL.com.

Arabia
UAE deploys military training groups in Socotra
[HODHODYEMENNEWS.NET] Emirati forces have deployed a team of military trainers to the Yemen
...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of...
i island of Socotra, a local source reported on Friday, in a move believed to be a response to recent protests in the archipelago.

The source confirmed that the military team, which arrived from Aden on a Yemeni aircraft, is from Dhalea and Yaf'aa areas, and its mission is to train pro-UAE gangs on the island.

This move comes as Socotra witnesses widespread protests by hundreds of local recruits who demonstrated in the city of Hadibo after their salaries and food rations were abruptly cut.

The source noted that the UAE had previously recruited and trained some 800 locals from the island, raising questions about the need for additional training teams. This development also coincides with Saudi Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula, largely made up of sand and oil rigs. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual haj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. Formerly dictatorial and steeped in Olde Tyme Religion, deferring to Salafist holy men on all issues, it has now done a 180 and is making a serious effort to modernize, so as not to be left in the sand by its Gulf Arab neighbors. The holy men have been shoved to the background and the nation is now still dictatorial but somewhat rational. That doesn't make them trustworthy, but it's a start...
's appointment of a new commander for its forces in Socotra, following protests that targeted the Emirati leadership.

It is worth noting that in 2020, the UAE established a joint military base with Israeli entity on the island of Abd al-Kuri, along with intelligence and surveillance centers, and has controlled all essential services on the archipelago through its affiliated companies.

announced on Saturday that the corpse count from the ongoing Israeli aggression has risen to 65,208, with 166,271 injured since October 7, 2023.

In its daily statistical report, the ministry stated that 34 new deaders (including 3 retrieved from rubble) and 200 new injuries arrived at Gaza's hospitals over the past 24 hours. A number of victims remain under the rubble and on the roads, as ambulance and civil defense crews are unable to reach them.

The ministry also noted that the number of casualties from aid-related incidents reached 4 deaders and 18 injured in the last 24 hours, bringing the total number of ''livelihood'' deaders who have arrived at hospitals to 2,518.

Additionally, two deaths from famine and malnutrition were recorded, raising the total number of such deaths to 442, including 147 children. Since the IPC's famine declaration in Gaza, 164 deaths have been recorded, 32 of them children.

Euro-Med: Israeli army uses 17 high-explosive vehicles daily in Gaza City
[HODHODYEMENNEWS.NET] The Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor has said that the Israeli occupation army detonates more than 17 explosive-laden vehicles daily in Gaza City, each one equivalent in force to a 3.7-magnitude earthquake on the Richter scale.

''Over the past week, the Israeli army detonated approximately 120 explosive-laden vehicles carrying nearly 840 tons of explosives inside Gaza City's residential neighborhoods,'' the Geneva-based Euro-Med Monitor said in a statement on Saturday.

The Monitor has described the massive destruction tactic used by the Israeli occupation army in Gaza City as ''the largest and most brutal campaign of force aimed at destroying the population'' and ''part of a grave escalation in the ongoing crime of genocide against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip,'' which has now entered its 24th consecutive month.

Strip amid an escalation in the regime's nearly two-year-long genocidal war.

Medics reported that 76 of the victims were killed in Gaza City during Saturday's assault, as part of Israel's intensified offensive aimed at occupying the largest city in the besieged territory.

Residential homes, schools-turned-shelters, tents housing displaced people, and a truck carrying people trying to flee Gaza City were among the targets of the deadly attacks.

The Israeli strike on the truck in Gaza City's Nasr area killed at least four people, leaving bloodied bodies scattered at the scene.

Another air raid by the Israeli military hit the family home of Dr. Mohammed Abu Salmiya, the director of the al-Shifa hospital in Gaza City, claiming the lives of at least five people, including Abu Salmiya's brother, his sister-in-law, and the couple's children.

''I was shocked and devastated to see the bodies of my brother and his wife,'' Abu Salmiya, who was working in the hospital's emergency department, told the AFP. ''Anything is possible now, as you receive your dearest ones as deaders or maimed.''

The Paleostinian resistance movement Hamas
..the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,...
condemned the ''deliberate targeting'' of Abu Salmiya's family.

''This is a bloody, terrorist message aimed at doctors to forcibly compel them to leave the city, as part of the genocide policy, of which the destruction of the medical sector's components is a cornerstone,'' it said.

Hamas also noted that Israeli forces have killed some 1,700 health workers in Gaza and imprisoned 400 others over the past two years.

Israel makes fresh ground incursions into southern Syria despite talks with HTS
[PRESSTV.IR] Despite ongoing talks between Israel and Syria's ruling Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham, formerly al-Nusra, before that it was called something else
...al-Qaeda's Syrian affiliate, from which sprang the Islamic State...
(HTS) regime on what authorities have characterized as ''a security agreement,'' Israeli military forces have carried out a string of ground incursions in the country's southern provinces of Quneitra and Dara'a.

Local media outlets reported that a convoy of Israeli military vehicles rolled into areas located between Jubata al-Khashab and Khan Arnabah towns in Quneitra province on Saturday, and carried out searches there.

The development came a day after an Israeli military convoy broke into Ma'ariya village in the Yarmouk Basin area of Dara'a province and set up a temporary checkpoint on the eastern side of the village. They stopped passersby for inspection.

Another convoy was deployed on the road linking the villages of Kuwaya and Abdin.

Additionally, an Israeli military convoy, consisting of five military vehicles, stormed the village of al-Samadaniyya al-Sharqiya.

Eyewitnesses reported that the Israeli soldiers set up a checkpoint at the western entrance to the village, stopping several civilian vehicles and inspecting the identity cards of passengers.

While no arrests were reported, local sources indicated that soldiers conducted thorough searches of individuals passing through the area.
