00:00:09.680 The car was put in the drive and was trying to hit the ICE officer and he fired.
00:00:15.200 An ICE agent fatally shooting a driver in Maine after officials say the driver tried
00:00:20.200 to run over an officer during an enforcement operation.

00:00:40.460 Former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad reportedly detained by the Iranian regime
00:00:45.640 after investigators uncovered an alleged Israeli effort to return him to power.
00:00:51.940 And the grandfather tossed eight feet into the air by a bison at Yellowstone National Park
00:00:57.460 in a now viral video recovering from a broken femur.

00:02:23.280 immigration enforcement operation in Biddeford, Maine, yesterday morning. The confrontation
00:02:28.100 occurring at 7.19 a.m. at a busy intersection roughly 15 miles south of Portland. Federal
00:02:34.940 agents reportedly attempting to execute a warrant connected to a final order of removal.
00:02:41.040 Independent Senator Angus King's office, later revealing DHS Secretary Mark Wayne Mullen,
00:02:46.280 told the senator the man who was killed was not the target of that warrant. Senator King,
00:02:51.980 sharing the secretary's account of the shooting,
00:02:54.400 had a press conference yesterday.
00:02:56.500 He was in a vehicle, pulled out in the vehicle,
00:03:00.340 and the term the secretary used was weaponized the vehicle.
00:03:04.960 He was shot by an ICE agent.
00:03:07.180 We want a full, transparent, and open investigation of this matter.
00:03:13.920 Now, one of the problems is, apparently,
00:03:15.960 and again, everything I'm saying is what I know now,
00:03:19.420 different facts may come out,
00:03:21.180 But apparently there are no cameras involved. Body cameras were not on the agents.
00:03:27.460 And so we have no video evidence of what occurred in this case.
00:03:33.020 One eyewitness appearing to corroborate that account yesterday in an interview with local outlet, the Portland Press-Herald.
00:03:40.680 So I looked and I was watching and the ICE agent was yelling and drew his weapon.
00:03:47.120 and he kept yelling and yelling and warning the person driving,
00:03:51.280 which is when the car was put into drive
00:03:53.860 and was trying to hit the ICE officer.
00:03:56.480 And he fired, I would say, probably four shots at him.
00:04:00.500 And then by that time, I was also through, you know, the intersection,
00:04:05.160 so I just heard the popping.
00:04:06.240 But I did see him draw his gun at the windshield.
00:04:08.740 So then the car, you could see the car,
00:04:11.360 like rolling down the street afterwards.
00:04:14.420 Authorities have not formally released the victim's identity, but neighbors and immigration
00:04:19.440 advocacy groups identifying him as Joan Sebastian Guerrero, a 26-year-old Colombian man with a wife
00:04:26.800 and a young daughter, according to the Portland Press-Herald. Guerrero reportedly had authorization
00:04:32.080 to work in the U.S. and had been issued a social security number, according to the Maine Immigrants
00:04:37.440 Rights Coalition. The ICE agent involved now placed on administrative leave under standard
00:04:43.140 protocol. Secretary Mullen reportedly informing Senator Susan Collins, Republican from Maine,
00:04:49.040 that the Boston office of the DHS inspector general has taken over the investigation
00:04:53.460 in cooperation with the FBI. The shooting marks the second fatal encounter involving
00:04:59.320 federal immigration agents in less than one week. Agents in Houston killing Mexican national
00:05:05.220 Lorenzo Salgado Araujo last week, after authorities alleged he also drove toward
00:05:11.660 officers during an enforcement operation. Araujo, like Guerrero, was not the original target
00:05:17.300 officers were pursuing. British counterterrorism police taking control of the investigation into
00:05:24.540 the murder of former government minister Anne Whittacombe, a dramatic escalation after local
00:05:30.200 police first insisted they had found no evidence of terrorism or political motivation. The 78-year-old
00:05:37.320 conservative found dead Thursday inside her home in rural southwest England, about four hours west
00:05:43.740 of London, after suffering what police described as serious injuries. Whittacombe, a major figure
00:05:50.000 in British right-wing politics, serving more than 20 years in Parliament before building a second
00:05:55.580 career as a television personality, appearing on shows like Celebrity Big Brother. She later joined
00:06:01.900 Reform UK. Nigel Farage's right-leaning populist party focused heavily on reducing immigration
00:06:08.040 and tightening Britain's borders. Investigators believe Whittacombe was attacked around 12.30
00:06:13.880 Wednesday afternoon, nearly 24 hours before her body was discovered. Whittacombe last responding
00:06:20.220 to a WhatsApp message from a TV producer at 12.19 p.m., but failing to join a Zoom link for an
00:06:27.480 interview about a half an hour later, a household employee finding her body at about 11.40 the next
00:06:34.100 morning, according to The Guardian. Police initially arresting a 26-year-old man near
00:06:39.580 her home on Friday, then releasing him. Police arresting a second suspect Saturday night,
00:06:45.500 more than 250 miles away in South Yorkshire, according to Reuters. The suspect only identified
00:06:52.160 by police as a 28-year-old white British man initially detained on suspicion of murder.
00:06:59.220 Local police publicly dismissing suggestions Whittacombe had been targeted because of her
00:07:03.940 politics. Devin and Cornwall Police Department's Assistant Chief Constable Matt Longman speaking
00:07:09.900 at a news conference on Sunday. At this point, there is still no information to suggest that
00:07:15.100 this is a terrorism-related incident. And at this point, we are not looking for anyone else
00:07:20.100 in connection with this murder.
00:07:21.760 We retain primacy of this investigation
00:07:23.600 and detectives remain open-minded about the potential motive.
00:07:27.960 At this stage, there is nothing to suggest that was politically motivated.
00:07:32.360 The investigation taking a sharp turn, though, yesterday,
00:07:35.920 with authorities announcing new evidence had prompted
00:07:38.320 Britain's National Counterterrorism Unit to take the lead,
00:07:42.060 the 28-year-old suspect remaining in custody
00:07:44.400 now being held on suspicion of preparing, carrying out
00:07:47.800 or encouraging an act of terrorism.
00:07:51.160 Britain's top domestic security official, Shabana Mahmood, updating lawmakers yesterday.
00:07:57.780 On Wednesday, Anne Whittekin was murdered in her home.
00:08:01.680 The circumstances of her death are extremely distressing.
00:08:06.540 Counterterrorism policing have now taken the lead in the investigation.
00:08:11.060 As Lawrence Taylor, the head of National Counterterrorism Policing, has said, and I quote,
00:08:15.440 We now have new information and evidence that means counter-terrorism policing is leading the investigation.
00:08:22.500 We are pursuing multiple lines of inquiry to establish the motivation for this attack.
00:08:27.960 The police now have a suspect in custody, a 28-year-old white British man.
00:08:34.460 And I can confirm to the House that this man was not known to Prevent.
00:08:39.240 Prevent is a government program aimed at identifying people considered vulnerable to radicalization.
00:08:45.440 The Sun obtaining surveillance video appearing to show the suspect leaving his home
00:08:49.480 shortly before 8 on Wednesday morning, carrying a long object as he gets into a red car.
00:08:56.120 The footage recorded roughly four and a half hours before Whittacombe is believed to have
00:09:00.220 been attacked, with the suspect facing a drive of about four hours to reach Whittacombe's home.
00:09:06.680 Mahmood now ordering a review of security protections for current and former politicians
00:09:11.860 while offering Reform UK leader Nigel Farage a meeting with security officials.
00:09:17.740 We spoke with British journalist Dan Wooten, host of Outspoken and close friend of Anne Whittacombe.
00:09:23.360 He tells us local police badly damaged public trust by initially dismissing a political motive.
00:09:28.760 Well, it's an absolutely shocking situation because for days and days,
00:09:35.500 The UK police said that there was no political motivation for the death of Anne Whittakin, who was a friend of mine, that we shouldn't believe that it was a terror attack.
00:09:47.700 And then today they were forced into quite a mortifying U-turn, admitting that it is now a terror investigation.
00:09:55.560 And that is something that people like me believed was the case for days, that this was a premeditated assassination of a high-profile figure on the right in the United Kingdom.
00:10:10.000 And so the police have lost a lot of trust with this investigation, especially amongst friends and political supporters of Ann.
00:10:19.100 We asked Wooten why he believes local police were so adamant that there was no political motivation at first.
00:10:25.560 It always seems like the British police are now more concerned about so-called community cohesion than actually reporting the truth, because none of this ever made sense.
00:10:37.100 Like, Anne lives in Devon. This suspect was hundreds of miles away in South Yorkshire. So he drove half the length of the country with a wooden pole, drove up to the house with this high-profile, legendary right-wing political figure in the UK, brutally killed her by hitting her over the head, I believe, multiple times.
00:11:03.580 And we're told that that had no political motivation.
00:11:08.860 It has been an absolutely appalling example of the police
00:11:13.020 caring more about how people might react to the truth
00:11:17.560 than actually trying to uncover the truth.
00:11:20.100 Witten says the public still has no clear answers about who carried out the attack,
00:11:24.680 why Witticum was targeted, or whether anyone else remains in danger.
00:11:28.660 they need to answer what on earth happened in all of that missing time for 48 hours you'd be going
00:11:36.040 after the wrong person how can we trust that you now have got the right person and if this is a
00:11:42.800 terrorism investigation is there anyone else involved what was motivating the ideology is
00:11:48.080 there anyone else at risk you'll remember Anne Whittakin was the immigration spokesperson for
00:11:52.460 the leading party in the polls here in the United Kingdom reform UK which is led by Nigel Farage
00:11:58.820 Nigel Farage has been arguing for weeks
00:12:01.440 that his security is under threat
00:12:03.680 and the security of his MPs are under threat.
00:12:06.840 So there are huge questions to answer.
00:12:08.320 We still know nothing about the motivation of this guy.
00:12:11.700 We've been told, oh, it's the usual thing.
00:12:13.800 He has learning difficulties. 0.96
00:12:15.360 He has mental health issues. 0.72
00:12:16.600 Well, I've been told that he was indulging
00:12:19.220 in reading Russian communist literature at certain times.
00:12:24.160 So are you really telling me
00:12:25.580 that's a guy with learning difficulties?
00:12:27.060 The reality is the truth is being hidden.
00:12:30.520 Witten sharing what he hopes will define Witticum's legacy.
00:12:34.440 I want them to remember Anne Witticum as a free speech champion,
00:12:38.280 a woman who absolutely stood up for Christianity. 0.89
00:12:42.000 That was something that was very untrendy during the time that she was in politics, 0.51
00:12:46.780 but she was resolutely a proud Catholic woman.
00:12:50.920 But I also want to remember her as someone who was so kind.
00:12:53.960 And when I was cancelled from GV News, remember, she was a star of GV News.
00:12:58.540 She spoke up for me because that's the type of woman she was.
00:13:03.340 She absolutely believed in due process.
00:13:06.400 She absolutely believed in people being treated fairly in the law.
00:13:09.880 She absolutely believed in free speech.
00:13:11.940 And I want people to remember Anne Whittakam as one of the most towering political figures of modern Britain.
00:13:19.620 She was also a great entertainer.
00:13:21.320 But fundamentally, she was someone who I think had a huge, huge political impact.
00:13:27.180 There are very few political figures in the United Kingdom outside of maybe Margaret Thatcher and Nigel Farage and Boris Johnson, who have been as famous as her over the past 50 years.
00:13:39.800 Coming up, former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad reportedly under house arrest
00:13:47.220 after Tehran uncovered his alleged role in a secret Israeli plot to return him to power.
00:13:54.080 And the Yellowstone visitor, launched into the air by a charging bison,
00:13:58.780 now identified as a 65-year-old grandfather and facing a long recovery.
00:14:09.800 Our sponsor, the Electronic Payments Coalition, says Washington politicians are always getting
00:14:16.240 in your wallet and that now they're messing with your credit card. They say your credit card and
00:14:20.700 the security it offers are under attack and that Senators Dick Durbin and Roger Marshall want to
00:14:25.580 change the nation's payment system to benefit corporate megastores like Walmart and Target
00:14:30.140 at the expense of everyday Americans. Credit cards can keep your payments secure and provide
00:14:34.980 rewards that families use to help make everyday purchases more affordable. The Electronic Payments
00:14:40.580 Coalition says the Durbin Marshall mandates would let corporate megastores cut corners on credit
00:14:45.080 card processing, routing transactions over cheaper, untested networks with weaker security and fewer
00:14:50.760 protections. Find out more at GuardYourCard.com and consider telling Congress to guard your card.
00:14:59.020 New reporting on a shocking plot to return former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
00:15:04.420 to power. The New York Times reporting Israel spent years on the failed plan, cultivating the
00:15:10.120 former hardline leader as a possible replacement for the Iranian regime, despite Ahmadinejad's
00:15:15.840 long history of threatening Israel and denouncing the U.S. American officials reportedly briefed on
00:15:21.400 the plan, which called for installing Ahmadinejad after Israeli and American strikes removed Iran's
00:15:27.400 top leadership at the start of the war earlier this year. Ahmadinejad, serving as Iran's president
00:15:33.280 from 2005 to 2013, becoming one of the most recognizable faces of the country's hardline
00:15:39.740 government. He repeatedly threatened Israel, denied the Holocaust, and accelerated Iran's 0.83
00:15:45.160 uranium enrichment program. His government also violently crushed the nationwide uprising that
00:15:50.940 followed his disputed re-election in 2009, while Iran imprisoned and executed political opponents.
00:15:57.200 After leaving office, Ahmadinejad gradually beginning to reinvent himself,
00:16:02.880 softening his anti-Israel rhetoric and accusing Iranian leadership of widespread corruption.
00:16:09.280 Ahmadinejad also appearing to westernize his image, trading his signature oversized
00:16:14.800 windbreaker for tailored suits, grooming his beard, and studying English. The makeover
00:16:20.660 coinciding with a growing rupture between Ahmadinejad and Iran's ruling establishment.
00:16:25.900 His relationship with the government reportedly remaining deeply complicated,
00:16:30.340 with Iranian authorities repeatedly blocking him from running for president
00:16:33.860 while still allowing him to serve on a powerful council advising the supreme leader.
00:16:39.600 Israeli intelligence reportedly viewing that feud as an opening,
00:16:43.680 believing Ahmadinejad's resentment toward Iranian leaders,
00:16:47.360 continued support among some working-class voters,
00:16:50.380 and determination to reclaim power could make him quite useful.
00:16:54.900 People close to Ahmadinejad also reportedly claiming he had privately recast himself as
00:17:00.440 a potential reformer, comparing his envisioned role to that of former Russian President Boris
00:17:06.360 Yeltsin. The former Iranian leader allegedly arguing he could dismantle the existing system
00:17:12.000 from within without allowing the country to descend into chaos. An associate telling the
00:17:17.440 Times Ahmadinejad was even prepared to recognize Israel and normalize relations under President
00:17:23.440 Trump's Abraham Accords if he returned to power. Wow. The Times reporting Israeli intelligence
00:17:30.740 began working with Ahmadinejad during a series of foreign trips, including secret meetings in
00:17:36.100 Hungary with senior Mossad officials. Mossad later informing the CIA it had established contact
00:17:42.120 with a former Iranian leader. The operation to install Ahmadinejad coming to a head on February
00:17:48.360 28 during the opening attacks of the U.S.-Israeli operation against Iran. An Israeli airstrike
00:17:54.900 hitting Ahmadinejad's compound in Tehran, where he lived under surveillance, targeting the building
00:18:00.940 housing his security detail along with his armored vehicle. Four senior Iranian officials telling the
00:18:07.180 Times that a black vehicle arrived amid the chaos, carrying Ahmadinejad away from the scene
00:18:12.960 at a high speed. American and Iranian officials, familiar with the operation, telling the Times
00:18:19.260 the driver was working for Israel's Mossad and transported Ahmadinejad to a secret safehouse
00:18:25.600 inside Iran. The apparent rescue intended to free the former president from government surveillance,
00:18:31.620 allowing him to help launch an internal effort to overthrow the Islamic Republic,
00:18:36.240 the plan, however, quickly collapsing. People briefed on the operation, telling the Times
00:18:42.100 Ahmadinejad was angered by the frantic extraction and increasingly disillusioned
00:18:47.000 with Israel's plan to place him back in power, eventually leaving the Israeli safehouse under
00:18:52.440 circumstances that remain unclear. Ahmadinejad then disappearing from public view for more than
00:18:58.220 four months, the 69-year-old briefly resurfacing earlier this month, appearing at the funeral
00:19:03.840 procession for former Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Video showing Ahmadinejad wearing
00:19:10.360 a heavy jacket despite temperatures around 90 degrees, standing silently with his head lowered
00:19:16.240 and surrounded by apparent security officers. Four senior Iranian officials telling the Times,
00:19:22.440 Ahmadinejad is in the custody of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' Intelligence Division
00:19:28.000 and being held under house arrest after investigators uncovered much of his alleged
00:19:33.060 contact with Israel. Neither Tehran nor Israel publicly confirming the report.
00:19:38.520 The Yellowstone National Park visitor launched into the air by a huge charging bison in a
00:19:46.120 shocking video that went viral over the weekend, now identified as 65-year-old grandfather
00:19:51.680 Carl Isom McDaniel of Washington State. McDaniel breaking multiple bones when the roughly 2,000
00:19:58.820 pound bull bison attacked him Friday evening in Wyoming, tossing him an estimated eight feet
00:20:04.840 into the air. CNN reporting McDaniel broke his femur, the strongest bone in the body,
00:20:10.600 in four places near his hip, but is already able to stand following his Sunday surgery.
00:20:16.200 He is expected to recover from the injuries. Professional photographer Mike McLeod
00:20:21.360 capturing the encounter. Grandfather and grandson seen in the background,
00:20:26.080 watching as the bison grinds its face into the dirt before dropping its massive frame to the
00:20:30.980 ground, kicking up a thick cloud of dust. The pair pulling out their phones, observing from
00:20:36.780 what they clearly thought was a safe distance, when the bison suddenly heaves itself back onto
00:20:42.020 its hooves and charges. McDaniel and his grandson retreat behind a thicket of trees as the animal
00:20:48.440 barrels after them, dirt flying in his wake. With startling agility for an animal of its size,
00:20:55.460 the bison cuts into the trees and briefly disappears from view. McDaniel then bursts
00:21:00.340 from the woods with the bison close behind. The bison chases McDaniel in a tight circle around
00:21:06.220 some smaller trees before finally catching him, using his boulder-sized head to scoop the 65-year-old
00:21:12.880 into the air by the seat of his pants. McDaniel goes skyward in a full aerial cartwheel before
00:21:20.020 crashing back down to earth. The bison standing over him, pumping his head aggressively up and
00:21:25.580 down. McLeod telling the New York Times that was the moment when he decided to intervene. Quote,
00:21:31.620 I put my camera down and I ran at the bison, pumping my arms up and down, yelling at the top
