Ex-NBA player says LeBron James should 'stand the f--- still' during national anthem

Philadelphia 76ers star LeBron James' habit of swaying and appearing to practice his golf swing during the national anthem has drawn significant attention this season, with even the president of the United States weighing in.

Now, a former NBA player is making his feelings known, and let's just say he's not super fond of it.

Former point guard Jason Williams — who spent 12 seasons in the league with the Grizzlies, Kings, Heat and Magic — co-hosts Bartsool Sports' "Hoopin’ N Hollerin'" podcast. The topic of James' anthem habits came up on the most recent episode, and he didn't hold back.

LEBRON JAMES CURSES OUT KNICKS FAN IN HEATED EXCHANGE: 'I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE F--- YOU TALKING ABOUT'

"I do," Williams told his co-host Adam Ferrone when asked if he had thoughts on the issue. "I think motherf---ers should just stand the f--- still during the national anthem. That’s just my opinion."

Fair enough.

Williams did, however, note that he didn't personally care about what LeBron was doing, but did once again note that he wished the NBA great would stand still.

"You’re supposed to stand still!" he continued. "Look, they’re all dressed the same. He’s dressed different. Guaranteed he got fined because you’re all supposed to be dressed the same. You’re supposed to be standing still. When I played, that was the rules. They could’ve changed the s--- now, but I guarantee he got fined."

It's important to note the NBA has not levied any fines against James for his mid-anthem warm-ups.

However, Williams and President Donald Trump are not the only ones to criticize James.

NBA legend and "Inside the NBA" co-host Charles Barkley also ripped him for not standing still during the anthem.

California woman accused of killing trans son-in-law puts blame on husband in new docs: reports

One month after she and her husband were arrested for the murder of their trans New York Times executive son-in-law, Shili Chen claims in new legal documents that her husband is the one to blame, according to reports.

Shili Chen, 77 and Shouyong Zhang were arrested on Sept. 26 for allegedly shooting Jonathan McKinsey, 40, in a crowded park in Dublin, California.

In a new bail filing, Chen’s lawyers claim that the 77-year-old watched her husband fire the fatal shots at McKinsey at the Dublin Sports Grounds from inside her car, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.

FATHER-IN-LAW OF TRANS NYT EXEC ADMITTED KILLING HIM, WORKED 'IN CONCERT' WITH MOTHER-IN-LAW: DOCS

Her lawyer, Curtis Briggs, argued that Chen only got out of the car "to protect her husband from what she feared was an assault by Mr. McKinsey," the California Post reported.

She was allegedly seen on surveillance video firing a gun at McKinsey after Zhang fired the shots that killed him.

Chen’s lawyers argued she was kept "in the dark" while Zhang planned McKinsey’s murder.

Zhang allegedly admitted to the fatal shooting just days after when video footage of the attack was shown to him, court documents obtained by Fox News Digital showed.

Zhang told police that he asked his wife to drive to the park but didn’t explain why, according to the Chronicle.

Prosecutors accused the couple of "lying in wait" at the park for McKinsey before the shooting, but her lawyer claims there isn’t enough evidence to prove that on Chen's part.

That special circumstance has been used to hold the couple without bail.

Both Chen and Zhang are asking for pretrial release.

In a separate filing, Zhang’s public defender argued that he didn’t pose a threat because of his age and health and because the shooting was an isolated family incident.

Chen’s lawyer argues that she wasn’t the "actual killer" since she shot McKinsey when he was already dead.

Several 911 callers reported gunfire at the Dublin Sports Grounds before a Dublin Police Services sergeant arrived and found McKinsey lying face up with multiple gunshot wounds. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Witnesses pointed police toward a black Honda Civic leaving the parking lot, leading officers to conduct a high-risk traffic stop nearby, the filings state.

Chen was driving and allegedly had a firearm in her possession when she was detained, while Zhang was in the passenger seat.

Three witnesses identified Chen and Zhang as the shooters, while surveillance video allegedly captured the couple opening fire "in concert" on McKinsey.

Police said the couple started shooting in a crowded park's parking lot with "blatant disregard for public safety," even as several children were nearby.

Police later searched the Honda and recovered a second firearm that Zhang allegedly admitted using in the shooting.

The complaint alleges the killing involved "great violence" and acts showing a "high degree of cruelty, viciousness, or callousness." Prosecutors also allege both defendants were armed or used a weapon during the killing.

McKinsey's killing came amid a bitter divorce and custody battle with Chen and Zhang's daughter, Candice Jang.

McKinsey accused Chen of directing anti-LGBTQ slurs at him and one of his children and alleged Zhang struck him in the chest while he was recovering from double mastectomy surgery, The Mercury News reported. Jang made competing allegations of domestic violence and child abuse against McKinsey, which he disputed.

Fox News Digital reviewed court dockets showing McKinsey and Jang were locked in multiple legal battles when McKinsey was killed, including competing domestic violence restraining order cases, a child custody dispute and a pending divorce.

Jang sought a domestic violence restraining order against McKinsey in October 2025, while McKinsey filed his own request two months later. The competing domestic violence matters were headed toward a three-day hearing in December.

Buffalo Bills tap hometown heroes Goo Goo Dolls for Thanksgiving night halftime concert

This Thanksgiving, NFL fans will once again have the opportunity to enjoy three games spread across the afternoon and evening.

The Detroit Lions will open the day with their traditional early afternoon matchup, hosting the Chicago Bears. The Cowboys will follow with their long-running home game in the late-afternoon window on Fox.

The third game will be played at the new Highmark Stadium, where the Buffalo Bills will host the Kansas City Chiefs. Quarterbacks Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen have produced several classics in recent matchups, and this year’s meeting will feature a special halftime performance.

NFL'S THANKSGIVING HOLIDAY SCHEDULE THAT FEATURES FIVE GAMES IS DEFINITELY NO TURKEY

On Friday, the Bills announced the Goo Goo Dolls will perform during halftime of their Thanksgiving night game on Nov. 26. The rock band was originally formed in Buffalo.

"The Goo Goo Dolls halftime performance will take place on the Bills Legends Deck, creating a unique concert experience that can be seen throughout the stadium," the Bills said in a statement. "Fans will also receive PixMob light-up bracelets at their seats, transforming the crowd into an interactive part of the show with synchronized lighting effects throughout Highmark Stadium."

While there has been debate over whether recent halftime performances have crossed into the political realm, fans probably should not expect the Goo Goo Dolls' Thanksgiving night show to go there.

During a September interview on "Everything Music" with producer Rick Beato, Goo Goo Dolls frontman John Rzeznik said he refuses to lecture concertgoers about politics. He noted that fans from across the ideological spectrum come together for the same reason: to enjoy the show.

Rzeznik said live music remains important during politically divided times because political and religious differences take a back seat when he performs.

"I got people, fans, friends from every walk of life, every political stripe, everything," he said. "And I always stress, we got one thing in common because we're living in weird times. We got one thing in common, and that's we're all here to see a show, and I'm not going to lecture people about anything."

The Goo Goo Dolls will not be the only musical act hitting the stage on Thanksgiving. Rapper Skilla Baby will perform at halftime of the Lions-Vikings game, while country artist Miranda Lambert is scheduled to put on a show at the Cowboys-Eagles matchup later that afternoon.

Hulk Hogan's widow faces negligence claim after minor was allegedly raped at son's party: report

Sky Daily, the widow of wrestling legend Hulk Hogan, and her son have reportedly been named in a lawsuit that claims a minor was sexually assaulted at a party for which she supplied alcohol.

Hogan's stepson, Hayden Hitt, allegedly threw a party while Daily was at a Real American wrestling event on March 28, and Daily is accused of purchasing the alcohol despite knowing minors would be in attendance, TMZ reported.

The reported lawsuit says that a minor, identified as Jane B. Doe, was raped by a minor boy, John B. Doe, after taking a sip of a Four Loko and losing consciousness.

Hitt, reportedly, is alleged to have advertised Jane B. Doe as "free p---y" and held an "auction" to have sex with her.

John B. Doe raped her for "several hours," the reported suit claims. She retrieved a used condom but says Daily got rid of the other two as well as blood-stained sheets. Jane B. Doe claims to have suffered from vaginal and anal trauma.

Jane B. Doe is reportedly suing Daily and Hitt for negligence and John B. Doe for sexual assault, battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress.

A second lawsuit filed by a separate Jane Doe claims that Hitt was repeatedly violent with her while she lived with Hitt and Daily.

Alleged screenshots of messages from Doe to Daily said Hitt "shoved me all the way from the door into the clothes rack."

"I’m sorry he’s acting out. Now is not the time to talk sense. Always wait till the morning," Daily allegedly answered, according to TMZ.

The next day, Hitt allegedly texted Jane Doe asking if she was pressing charges but unsent the message. Jane Doe is suing the mother and son for emotional distress, Hitt for battery and Daily for a civil claim related to criminal practices.

A listed spokesperson for Daily did not respond to a request for comment.

Hogan, whose real name was Terry Bollea, died in July 2025 at the age of 71.

Sheriff's department gives update on Nancy Guthrie case 9 months after kidnapping

The Pima County Sheriff’s Department gave an update on the Nancy Guthrie missing person’s case Friday, saying the department continues to work with the Nancy Guthrie Task Force on DNA analysis in an effort to advance the case. 

"Earlier this month, investigators traveled to Florida to meet with lab scientists to see what more could be done to advance this case," the department wrote in an X post. "A number of ideas were discussed, and we continue to work with all our partners to solve this case." 

The law enforcement agency reminded the public that no tip is too small. 

"Even the smallest piece of information could be critical to this investigation," the department said. 

NANCY GUTHRIE CASE: UNCLAIMED $1.2M REWARD SUGGESTS 'VERY SMALL CIRCLE' OF SUSPECTS, RETIRED FBI AGENT SAYS

Guthrie, NBC journalist Savannah Guthrie’s mother, was kidnapped from her home in Tucson, Arizona, on Feb. 1. 

The 84-year-old was last seen shortly before 10 p.m. Jan. 31 after a relative dropped her off at her home in the Catalina Foothills neighborhood of Tucson.

Authorities have struggled to identify a suspect or person of interest in her disappearance despite a masked man appearing on Guthrie's Ring doorbell camera.

Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos, in the days following Guthrie's disappearance, confirmed that she was taken, telling reporters during a news briefing, "She did not leave on her own. We know that."

NANCY GUTHRIE INVESTIGATORS SEE UPTICK IN TIPS AFTER RANSOM NOTES RELEASE: SHERIFF

Authorities previously released two ransom notes related to Guthrie's kidnapping in July.

The first, which was sent Feb. 2, reported that Guthrie was unharmed and demanded that her captors be sent $4 million in cryptocurrency to secure her release.

NANCY GUTHRIE RANSOM NOTES MAY BE FAKE AS RENOWNED PROFILER SAYS CASE LOOKS MORE LIKE BURGLARY GONE WRONG

The second, sent four days later on Feb. 6, said Guthrie had died shortly after she was kidnapped.

Authorities released the ransom notes in late July, noting they were written with a unique writing style, asking anyone who recognizes the patterns to share any information with PCSD and the FBI.

Late last month, investigators said they had been made aware of a possible new ransom note in relation to Guthrie's disappearance.

"The PCSD/FBI Guthrie Task Force was recently made aware of a new possible ransom note related to the Nancy Guthrie investigation," PCSD wrote in an X post in late September. 

"Investigators are also aware of social media comments regarding the note and are looking further into the information to determine its credibility."

Anyone with information is asked to dial 1-800-CALL-FBI or, to remain anonymous, call 520-88-CRIME.

'The View' co-hosts agree Democrats should not impeach Trump if party wins back control of Congress

"The View" co-hosts agreed with former Vice President Kamala Harris Friday that impeachment would not be a good use of the Democratic Party’s time and resources if the party wins back control of Congress in the midterm elections.

"I think that going on in the direction of impeachment is not a good idea," Harris warned Tuesday on "The Parnas Perspective" podcast. "OK, just to be honest with you. Because we have limited resources, and I think the energy and the resources need to be put into accountability, need to be put into investigations. And that's where the time should be spent. Remember, I was in the Senate for the last go-round and the votes aren't there, right? So, that's how I feel."

After playing a clip of Harris' comments, "The View" co-hosts agreed with her assessment. 

KAMALA HARRIS BREAKS WITH LEFT FLANK, WARNS DEMS THAT IMPEACHING TRUMP IS 'NOT A GOOD IDEA'

"In terms of Trump, no, I don't think that's what should be on the agenda," co-host Sunny Hostin said. "Hakeem Jeffries — who I believe will be the next speaker of the House, after November — he has a plan for 100 days which includes tax credits, taking care of the tax credits, limiting ICE and also stock trades. 

"And then he's got a plan for the first 100 hours, which would include, you know, just undoing a lot of unpopular Trump policies. So, I think there is a plan in place that Democrats have, and it may not include impeaching Trump."

"I think that Democrats have to be realistic of what's achievable," co-host Ana Navarro said. "We are four days away from the election. So, before we start talking about what Democrats are going to do once they win, they've got to make sure they win. 

"People have to focus not on all of the conversation about impeachment and what is going to happen but rather on getting out the vote and getting people to the polls so that the American people decide who they want in power in the House and in the Senate.

"There's a limit to what Democrats are going to be able to do even if they win the House, even if they win the House and the Senate, because Donald Trump is still president," she continued. "Legislation in this country needs to be signed by the president. If not, it needs to have a veto-proof majority. And I think that's going to be very difficult to achieve. I'm completely against impeachment.

"There's 100 other ways to hold Donald Trump and his administration accountable," Navarro added. "Impeachment is an exercise that's moot if you don't have the 67 votes in the Senate required to indict."

Joy Behar pointed to former President Richard Nixon's resignation from office after Republican lawmakers warned him that he lacked sufficient Senate support to avoid conviction if impeached and said of Trump, "If we don't have the votes to convict, there's no point in impeaching."

DEM MAKING SENATE COMEBACK BID SAYS HE WOULDN'T SUPPORT A TRUMP IMPEACHMENT PUSH

Sara Haines also agreed, arguing that many of Trump’s supporters are now angry with him for breaking campaign promises and that Democrats could capitalize on their dissatisfaction by delivering on their own promises.

"It's important to recognize the moment," she said. "Donald Trump was elected and promised things he never touched. He's been remodeling, redecorating, working to revenge, all the things. The voters were left high and dry, which is why we're seeing some red states flip full to blue," she said. "That's why we are watching this campaigning.

"They need to see someone get in there, hold them accountable, do the investigations, fine," Haines continued. "But really show the American people that what they promised, to fix all these things, that immediately there's action taken. Even if it can't get past the president. Spin the wheels. Show the people that you are putting up policy, that you are taking things to vote, that you are actually acting for the people that put you there."

"Impeachment is not where the focus should be," Alyssa Farah Griffin said. "It costs actually a lot of money to do a trial, do the investigation.

"What I think is important is there are day one things that would be beneficial for all Americans and a lot of Republicans would be on board with that a Democratic Congress could do," she continued. 

"Repealing Trump's tariffs, that is the power of the purse controlled by Congress and trying to wind down or pause the war in Iran. Those are things you should get Republican votes to do. That will bring down people's fuel prices. Those are where the focus should be."

Earlier this month, veteran Democratic strategist James Carville also warned Democrats against impeaching Trump if the party wins control of Congress in the midterms.

Democratic strategist and co-host of "The Huddle" podcast Dan Turrentine told Fox News Digital, "Neither the Senate arithmetic nor the American people are there. Folks are angry with the president about the economy, tariffs, healthcare, the war with Iran, corruption. They feel he is focused on everything but them.

"Our job is to fight for the real lives of real people, solving their problems, while providing appropriate oversight of the executive branch and trusting the electorate provides accountability," he added. 

"The quickest path back to the minority or continuing to be on the outside, looking into the White House, is to focus on revenge and score settling."

NHL's reigning MVP Nikita Kucherov reportedly asks Lightning for trade in stunning move

According to multiple reports, Tampa Bay Lightning star Nikita Kucherov — the reigning Hart Memorial Trophy-winner as the NHL's MVP — has informed the team that he will not re-sign and would like a trade.

Go ahead and pick your jaw up off the floor after that one.

Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman reported that Kucherov had informed the team and his teammates of his plans to sign elsewhere when his 8-year, $76 million deal ends after this season.

On top of that, Friedman reports that the two-time Hart Trophy winner and two-time Stanley Cup champion has asked the club for a trade, though Lightning general manager Julien BriseBois and Kucherov’s agent, Dan Milstein, declined to comment.

The prevailing thought was that Kucherov would almost certainly re-sign with the Lightning. He's been their centerpiece through three runs to the Stanley Cup Final and the team is still playing well. They're currently third in the Atlantic Division, just two points out of first place.

LIGHTNING CAPTAIN VICTOR HEDMAN OPENS UP ABOUT MENTAL HEALTH ABSENCE AFTER FIRST-ROUND PLAYOFF EXIT

However, if Friedman's report proves to be on the money, things could get wild.

If Kucherov has indeed indicated he won’t re-sign, the Lightning will obviously look to trade him rather than let the reigning league MVP walk for nothing.

The 33-year-old Russian currently has a modified no-trade clause, which shouldn't be too limiting when it comes to getting a deal done.

The problem may be that the Lightning will want a hefty return for such a high-end player, while potential trade partners will likely want assurances that paying a high price will secure Kucherov's services beyond this season.

So far this season, Kucherov has 4 goals and 11 assists in 14 games.

Last season he had 130 points (44G, 86A), which was his fourth-straight season with over 110 points.

Oregon teacher who wrestled shotgun from school gunman shares emotional message after attack

An Oregon elementary school teacher who fought a teenage gunman during a deadly school shooting earlier this month has broken her silence, describing the tragedy as a loss she will carry with her forever.

Cassidy Schutz, a certified learning specialist at Silver Rail Elementary School in Bend, released her first public statement Friday through Bend-La Pine Schools, just over two weeks after the Oct. 15 attack left three children and a teacher dead.

"There are no words to describe the depth of sadness I am feeling following the events of October 15th. This is not a story. This is a horrific and heartbreaking tragedy, and it is our real lives," Schutz said in the statement.

HERO DAD WHO TOOK DOWN OREGON SCHOOL SHOOTER IDENTIFIED ALONG WITH TEACHER, STUDENT BOTH KILLED IN ATTACK

"My thoughts are with those who were lost, their families, those who were hurt, and those who were there that day. My heart is with you. It all happened so fast, and I wish with everything in me that we had more time. The pain of this loss I will carry with me forever."

Bend Police Chief Mike Krantz previously credited Schutz with throwing her cellphone at the shooter and wrestling him for control of his shotgun during the attack.

Schutz also asked for privacy as she continues to heal.

"There are no words for this unimaginable reality we are facing. My focus is on these families, our team, our school, and my own healing," she said. "As I continue to navigate this, I ask that you please give me the time, space, and privacy I need to heal. I will not be making any additional public statements at this time."

The shooting unfolded when a 16-year-old former student entered the school and opened fire inside a classroom serving students with special needs, according to police.

Teacher Megan Lambert, 25, and three students, including 5-year-old Rhoam Summer and two other children, ages 8 and 11, were killed.

Another teacher, Becky Drury, and a 7-year-old girl were wounded but survived.

Drury previously told Fox News Digital she tried to close her classroom door after spotting the gunman but was shot before she could stop him from entering.

She suffered severe injuries to both arms and pretended to be dead to avoid being shot again before hero dad Kaylub Giamanco, 36, shot the attacker dead.

DAVID MARCUS: California transplants in Texas are voting Democrat, and they see no irony in it

McKinney, Texas, is ground zero for the migration of voters from California to Texas over the past several years. On Election Day, it is these newcomers who may well tip the balance not just in the Senate and governor's races.

They may also decide whether the once ruby red Lone Star State will continue to grow bluer.

I met Oren at The Celt on the picture-postcard town square, where we played a friendly game of pool. He moved from California about a year ago "because it’s a lot cheaper to live" but is voting for Democrats because he believes that Texas needs "more social services and public transit" and more support for transgender kids.

When I gently tried to press Oren on the apparent illogic of moving away from a high-tax, big-government blue state for reasons of cost only to vote to make his new home a high-tax, big-government state, he was unmoved, almost arguing that real California progressivism has never been tried.

FOX NEWS POLL: TEXAS SENATE RACE GALLOPING TOWARD A PHOTO FINISH

It turns out that Oren was not as much of an outlier as I had expected because, not long after, I met Daniel, who works at a local restaurant and moved to McKinney a few years ago with his best friend and girlfriend to start a business. He has also proudly brought his politics with him.

"It’s in the Constitution," Daniel told Fox News Digital. "We can go anywhere we want. It's meant to be that way."

When I asked him if he could understand why so many people born and raised in Texas are worried about transplants changing its politics, he shrugged and said, "Things change."

JOE ROGAN WARNS LIBERALS AGAINST TRYING TO TURN TEXAS BLUE, SAYS IT WOULD WRECK THE STATE'S 'DELICATE BALANCE'

In the space of about five hours, I met two more refugees from California prepared to keep voting for Democrats. Like Oren and Daniel, they really did not see any irony in the fact that they may be recreating in Texas exactly the conditions they escaped in California.

The natives, however, do see the problem with the Californication of Texas. Terry, a longtime local in her 60s, told me, "I love to see the growth, and there’s a lot of it, but if they bring Democratic politics with them, then we stand to lose the whole thing bringing people here."

Clint, who was in town from his home just on the other side of the Oklahoma border, is worried not just about Texas turning blue through domestic migration, but even about the Sooner State eventually turning blue.

TRUMP WON THIS RELIABLY RED STATE BY DOUBLE DIGITS; NOW A DEADLOCKED RACE IS BRINGING HIM BACK

"I cannot comprehend why someone would move from a state because there’s high taxes and then come down here and vote for high taxes. I just can’t comprehend it," Clint told Fox News Digital. "And I’ve asked them to explain it to me, but they just cuss me out."

Thankfully, nobody cussed out this columnist for asking, but Clint is correct that the liberal transplants see no problem with transforming the red states they arrive in into blue states, and it's not just Texas.

Arizona and even Montana have seen influxes of liberal California voters. West Virginians have similar fears regarding their neighbors to the south in Northern Virginia, who are also attracted by the low taxes and cost of living.

ELECTION DAY 2026: JOIN AMERICA'S CONVERSATION HERE!

In Texas, there is a kind of double-pincer political invasion because, along with the Cali converts, unchecked immigration — illegal and otherwise — over decades has also pushed the needle left in the state. This is, in a nutshell, the new Democratic Party coalition: wealthy, college-educated Whites and immigrants.

The bottom line for Republicans — not just in Texas but in many red states — is that Americans are moving at stunning rates to cheaper states, which almost always means Republican states. The good news is that red states stand to gain in the Electoral College and in Congress after the next census, but that won’t matter if Democrats take them over.

Between now and then, and especially on Tuesday, "Don’t you turn my red state blue" has to be the mantra of the GOP. If Texas falls this time, then anywhere can, and that is exactly what the Democrats moving to red states are hoping for and creating.

EXCLUSIVE: ICE captures illegal alien at center of NYC manhunt after sanctuary city release

EXCLUSIVE: Federal immigration officers arrested an illegal alien accused of attacking a New York City police officer Friday, ending a manhunt sparked by his release from local custody despite repeated U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detainer requests, Fox News Digital has learned.

Alpha Bah, an illegal immigrant from Guinea, was taken into custody at approximately 3:25 p.m. after ICE officers tracked him to a temporary residence in New York City, a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) official told Fox News Digital.

Officers with ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) developed intelligence about Bah's last known temporary residence Friday and established surveillance in the surrounding area, the official said.

HOUSE REPORT SAYS NYC PROSECUTORS TAILORED PLEA DEALS TO SHIELD ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS FROM DEPORTATION

At approximately 2:22 p.m., officers spotted a man matching Bah's description leaving the residence and meeting several unidentified individuals on a nearby public street. Officers continued monitoring him rather than immediately approaching because several school-aged children were in the area.

About an hour later, officers spotted Bah alone and approached him while displaying police and ICE identification. They confirmed his identity through biographical questions, a photograph and Mobile Fortify, a biometric identification tool.

Officers informed Bah of an administrative immigration arrest warrant and took him into custody without incident. He was transported to 26 Federal Plaza in Manhattan for post-arrest processing, according to the official.

The arrest comes after Fox News Digital reported that NYC authorities released Bah despite repeated requests from federal immigration officials to hold him in custody.

EXCLUSIVE: NYC OFFICIALS REFUSE ICE HOLD FOR ILLEGAL ALIEN ACCUSED IN ARSON THAT KILLED 4 AND INJURED 7: DHS

Bah was initially arrested Oct. 7 on charges of aggravated assault on a police officer with a deadly weapon, resisting arrest, obstructing governmental administration and intent to obtain transportation without paying, according to DHS.

ICE lodged a detainer with Queens Central Booking, but Bah was released without federal immigration authorities being notified, DHS previously said.

The case drew criticism from federal immigration officials who accused New York City's sanctuary policies of allowing Bah to return to the streets despite the pending immigration detainer.

"This illegal alien from Guinea was arrested for assaulting a police officer with a deadly weapon. Despite these violent charges, New York City sanctuary politicians refused to honor ICE’s detainer and RELEASED him back onto the streets, and he remains at large," DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin said in a statement prior to Friday's arrest.

"DHS is calling on Governor Kathy Hochul and Mayor Zohran Mamdani to knock it off with these evil sanctuary policies before another American gets hurt, or worse."
