California university students' third attempt to form TPUSA chapter denied
A third attempt by students at Point Loma Nazarene University in San Diego to establish a school-supported Turning Point USA (TPUSA) chapter was denied by the university's Associated Student Body (ASB) Board of Directors.
The decision was announced in an email sent to students by university President Kerry Fulcher on Wednesday, Nov. 5.
"I felt silenced when I got that email," said Luke Cole, the elected secretary of the chapter and third-year student at the university. "I felt like I couldn’t speak anymore."
The email, which was obtained by Fox News Digital, said the motion was brought to a vote by the ASB Board of Directors and failed to pass after a review process. The email expressed concerns over the organization’s Professor Watchlist. According to TPUSA's website, the Professor Watchlist aims to "expose and document" professors who discriminate against conservative students.
CONSERVATIVE STUDENT EXPOSES MIDWESTERN COLLEGE FOR PREVENTING TURNING POINT USA CHAPTER
"While the applicants indicated they would not participate in the watchlist, their application included phrasing that mirrors language used on TPUSA’s website in connection with it," Fulcher wrote in the email. "That practice is not aligned with ASB’s purpose of fostering constructive communication and interaction between students, faculty, and administration."
The email also cited the club's intent to affiliate with TPUSA Faith, an initiative that aims to "unite the Church" and "eliminate wokeism," according to its website. Fulcher said that was a violation of the university's Church and Parachurch policies.
"This policy is in place to ensure that outside churches or ministry organizations, however well-intentioned, do not duplicate efforts already being led by our campus ministry team and use university resources to advance their own programming," Fulcher wrote in the email.
Fulcher said the authority to approve or deny student-initiated clubs rests solely with the ASB Board of Directors. According to PLNU's website, the school currently hosts a "B.R.E.A.K." club which "emphasizes the importance of gender equality on a school campus." Hosts discuss issues such as "privilege" and "gender justice." The school also hosts a "Center for Justice and Reconciliation" group which focuses on "immigration and racial justice" and allows students to "process injustices in their communities," according to the website.
The decision has left students crestfallen. Ginger Friess, a first-year student at the university, told Fox News Digital that after Charlie Kirk’s death, she felt called to serve her campus through founding a TPUSA chapter.
"For me, it was about finding truth and making space for that on this campus," said Friess. "I watched students and faculty, who identified as Christian, celebrate human death on campus… and I was deeply troubled by that.
She added: "[Kirk] invited all people, all students on campus to an open mic. We want to open up the conversation."
Brooklyn Stratton, a third-year student at PLNU and elected vice president of TPUSA Point Loma said she and other young conservatives felt targeted on college campuses following Kirk’s death.
"I just wanted to make a community for other students who [were] also feeling this way to get together," said Stratton. "College is our formative years… I feel like not giving people the opportunity to explore which side of politics they’re on doesn't align with free speech at all."
The formation of a TPUSA chapter was also rejected twice in 2021, according to the campus’ student newspaper.
Associate Vice President for Communications and Public Affairs Lora Flemming shared in a statement with Fox News Digital that the university is a place where "students from a variety of backgrounds are welcomed into a community shaped by faith."
"The outcome of this club application should not be misunderstood as a departure from our Christian mission or a rejection of conservative perspectives," said Flemming in the statement. "Calling into question the university’s Christian identity or discrediting our ASB leaders because of disagreement over this club decision is not reflective of how Christians are called to engage with one another in truth and grace."
Friess shared that her grandfather was one of Turning Point USA’s first donors in 2012, motivating her to begin a chapter herself.
"Ultimately, I hope to create loving people. People that are willing to have the boldness to advocate for the eternal goodness for others," said Friess. "And also to equip conservative students with a heart for Christ."
Despite the students’ efforts being denied, they made clear this was not the end for TPUSA in Point Loma. The students shared that they were looking into the appeal process and meeting off campus.
"My school is really trying hard to stay neutral, but the way they’re staying neutral, really isn’t neutral at all," said Stratton. "I guess the question I’m wondering is, ‘is my administration at Point Loma Nazarene University giving a space for not only diversity of being but diversity of thought?’"
Fox News Digital contacted PLNU ASB’s President Kenzie Lopez and Director of Student Relations Nathan Blanco. Blanco declined to comment and Lopez did not respond at the time of publication.
White House hits back after JFK’s grandson calls RFK Jr. a ‘rabid dog’
The White House dismissed comments from Jack Schlossberg, the grandson of John F. Kennedy, about Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., labeling his cousin a "rabid dog."
Schlossberg, the son of diplomat Caroline Kennedy, launched a bid Wednesday to run for a U.S. House of Representatives seat in New York in the 2026 election. If his campaign succeeds, he would replace Democratic Rep. Jerry Nadler to represent New York’s 12th Congressional District.
"I don't even think such ridiculous comments are worth responding to," White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters Wednesday. "Obviously, those things are not true. And Secretary Kennedy is doing a phenomenal job bringing transparency and the gold standard of silent science back to our health care system."
JFK'S GRANDSON SAYS THERE IS ‘NOTHING HEROIC’ ABOUT TRUMP'S DECLASSIFICATION ORDER
Schlossberg appeared on MSNBC Wednesday, where he compared Kennedy to a dog, adding Trump is "obsessed" with the Kennedy family and that’s why Kennedy is a Cabinet member with the Trump administration.
"He put a collar on my cousin, RFK Jr., and has him there barking, spreading lies and spreading misinformation," Schlossberg said.
BILL MAHER SAYS 'NUTTY' RFK JR. HAS ‘GOT TO GO’ FOLLOWING CDC FIRINGS, SENATE HEARING
Likewise, Schlossberg took aim at his cousin directly, specifically pointing to Kennedy’s decision to fire advisors on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention vaccine panel in June and the rise in measles cases in areas like West Texas. The Texas Department of State Health Services announced that the outbreak ended in August.
"RFK Jr. is a dangerous person who is making life-and-death decisions as secretary of Health and Human Services," Schlossberg said.
"I mean, when he’s not making infomercials for Steak ‘n Shake and Coca-Cola, he’s spreading misinformation and lies that are leading to deaths around the country."
The Department of Health and Human Services did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital.
Schlossberg, 32, graduated from Harvard Law School in 2022 and joined Vogue as a political correspondent in 2024.

OpenAI accuses NY Times of wanting to invade millions of users' privacy in paper's lawsuit against tech giant
OpenAI released a blistering statement accusing The New York Times of wanting to invade the privacy of its users as the paper proceeds with its lawsuit against the tech giant.
"Trust, security, and privacy guide every product and decision we make," OpenAI's Chief Information Security Officer Dane Stuckey wrote on its website Wednesday. "Each week, 800 million people use ChatGPT to think, learn, create, and handle some of the most personal parts of their lives... We treat this data as among the most sensitive information in your digital life—and we’re building our privacy and security protections to match that responsibility.
"Today, that responsibility is being tested," he continued. "The New York Times is demanding that we turn over 20 million of your private ChatGPT conversations. They claim they might find examples of you using ChatGPT to try to get around their paywall. This demand disregards long-standing privacy protections, breaks with common-sense security practices, and would force us to turn over tens of millions of highly personal conversations from people who have no connection to the Times’ baseless lawsuit against OpenAI."
OPEN AI TO APPEAL COPYRIGHT RULING IN NY TIMES CASE AS ALTMAN CALLS FOR ‘AI PRIVILEGE’
Stuckey said OpenAI is asking the court to reject The Times' demand and that the company will "continue to explore every option available to protect our users’ privacy."
He also said OpenAI provided "several privacy-preserving options" to The Times including targeted sample searches that include text from the paper's articles — but was rejected by The Times. Stuckey added that The Times initially wanted access to 1.4 billion ChatGPT conversations, but OpenAI successfully limited the scope to 20 million random conversations between December 2022 and November 2024.
OpenAI assured its users that any personal information will be scrubbed from conversations through a "de-identifying procedure."
"The New York Times’s case against OpenAI and Microsoft is about holding these companies accountable for stealing millions of copyrighted works to create products that directly compete with The Times," a spokesperson for The New York Times told Fox News Digital. "In another attempt to cover up its illegal conduct, OpenAI’s blog post purposely misleads its users and omits the facts. No ChatGPT user’s privacy is at risk. The court ordered OpenAI to provide a sample of chats, anonymized by OpenAI itself, under a legal protective order."
"This fear-mongering is all the more dishonest given that OpenAI’s own terms of service permit the company to train its models on users’ chats and turn over chats for litigation," the spokesperson added.
LAWMAKERS UNVEIL BIPARTISAN GUARD ACT AFTER PARENTS BLAME AI CHATBOTS FOR TEEN SUICIDES, VIOLENCE
The New York Times sued OpenAI and Microsoft in late 2023, accusing them of using millions of its articles without permission to train the large language model powering ChatGPT.
"Defendants’ generative artificial intelligence ('GenAI') tools rely on large-language models ('LLMs') that were built by copying and using millions of The Times’s copyrighted news articles, in-depth investigations, opinion pieces, reviews, how-to guides, and more," the lawsuit says.
The lawsuit claims that while defendants "engaged in widescale copying from many sources," OpenAI "gave Times content particular emphasis when building their LLMs — revealing a preference that recognizes the value of those works."
"Using the valuable intellectual property of others in these ways without paying for it has been extremely lucrative for Defendants," the lawsuit says. "Microsoft’s deployment of Times-trained LLMs throughout its product line helped boost its market capitalization by a trillion dollars in the past year alone. And OpenAI’s release of ChatGPT has driven its valuation to as high as $90 billion."

Blue state judge releases murder suspect without making him pay a cent in bail, despite gang allegations
A judge in California is facing criticism after releasing a murder suspect and alleged gang member without posting a single cent in bail.
Vicente Aguilera-Chavez and Agustin Sandoval were arrested in January in connection with a June 8, 2017, shooting that left a 21-year-old dead and a 24-year-old injured, according to KTVU.
Aguilera was charged with murder following an alleged gang-related shooting in a Sunnyvale, California, nightclub parking lot, according to the Mercury News. Both men were charged in the death of 21-year-old Edu Veliz-Salgado. A 24-year-old was also injured during the alleged shooting, but survived. The case went cold until 2024, when detectives with the Sunnyvale Department of Public Safety identified the suspects in 2024.
Judge Hector Ramon released Aguilera on his own recognizance during an Oct. 31 hearing, meaning he has to pay no bail, according to NBC Bay Area. Aguilera completed a prison sentence in 2022 stemming from a burglary.
OUTRAGE OVER MASS SHOOTING SUSPECT'S 60K BAIL FUELED BY REPEAT OFFENDER'S DIFFERENT TREATMENT
Santa Clara County District Attorney Jeff Rosen told NBC Bay Area he's "very concerned for the safety of our community" and "shocked" as Aguilera is a certified gang member.
"This is a case where somebody charged with first-degree murder, with a gun, for the benefit of a criminal street gang, who had strike offenses before this murder and strike offenses after the murder, and was sent to prison on other charges before the murder," he added.
The district attorney's office filed a motion asking Ramon to reconsider his decision to release Aguilera, stating that he's "gambling" that the suspect doesn't pose a risk to the community.
PREVIOUSLY DEPORTED BLUE STATE DRIVER CHARGED WITH MURDERING SIX PEOPLE IN CRASH: REPORT
"The court is gambling he does not pose a risk to public safety because he has not been arrested for the last few years," the motion stated. "The court should give equal weight to his criminal history … and the fact that he brazenly murdered a stranger in front of a crowd because the stranger was drunk and mouthing off."
Deputy Public Defender Jennifer Redding, Aguilera's defense attorney, filed the motion seeking his release from pre-trial custody in October and claimed that her client wasn't involved in the shooting and has strong ties to the community.
"There is no evidence that Mr. Aguilera, especially with (supervised release) conditions, would present any risk of bodily harm to others," Redding wrote. "Mr. Aguilera is motivated to clear his name. … There is no compelling interest in detaining Mr. Aguilera on public safety grounds or out of concern he is a flight risk."
Sunnyvale Department of Public Safety Lt. Devon Klein also voiced his disagreement to the local NBC outlet, saying that the judge has a history of releasing repeat offenders back into the streets.
"Not only are they repeat offenders, but Judge Ramon is a repeat offender," Klein said. "He has a pattern of releasing repeat offenders back into our communities."
Fox News Digital has reached out to Redding for comment.
The court declined to comment on behalf of Ramon.
Trump’s backing of H-1B visa program exposes cracks within MAGA movement
President Donald Trump drew criticism from those within his "Make America Great Again" base after he reinvigorated debate on one of his party's most controversial issues: H-1B visas.
The visas allow U.S. companies to hire highly skilled foreign workers for up to six years.
The issue resurfaced after Trump told Fox News’ Laura Ingraham in an interview that aired Tuesday that bringing foreign workers to the U.S. on H-1B visas is important to "bring in talent" to the U.S. While Ingraham argued that the U.S. has talent at home, Trump said that wasn’t the case.
ARE AMERICAN WORKERS BEING REPLACED? INSIDE THE H-1B VISA CONTROVERSY
"No, you don’t. No, you don’t. You don’t have, you don’t have certain talents, and people have to learn!" Trump said. "You can’t take people off an unemployment line and say I’m gonna put you into a factory where we’re gonna make missiles."
Trump also defended past remarks endorsing allowing up to 600,000 Chinese students to come to the U.S. to Ingraham, claiming that they must study in the U.S. so U.S. colleges don’t "go out of business."
While proponents of the program argue that the program is key to U.S. competitiveness, critics argue that the visa holders are taking away jobs from Americans.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., promptly spoke out against the statements, claiming that she is "America First and America Only."
"I believe in the American people. I am one of you.I believe you are good, talented, creative, intelligent, hardworking, and want to achieve. I am solidly against you being replaced by foreign labor, like with H1Bs," Greene said. "I am solidly against allowing foreign students into our colleges and universities, like 600,000 Chinese students, just to financially prop them up. If they fail, they fail. The system in place isn’t helping our young people anyway."
Other Republicans weighed in and said the policy could play out poorly for the GOP in the 2026 midterms.
"This is insane—we’re going to lose the mid-terms so badly," Anthony Sabatini, a Republican county commissioner in Florida, said in a Tuesday post on X. "We’ve never seen an administration crash & burn in its first year so badly—for no reason other than to appease donors and special interests."
Meanwhile, the White House pointed to the Trump administration's announcement in September that would require a $100,000 annual fee for companies seeking to obtain an H-1B visa. Likewise, the White House said that the Department of Labor launched Project Firewall in September in an attempt to ensure employers don't abuse the H-1B visa process.
"The Trump administration is protecting American workers by restoring accountability in the H1-B process, ensuring that it is used to bring in only the highest-skilled foreign workers in specialty occupations and not low wage workers that will displace Americans," White House spokeswoman Taylor Rogers said in a Wednesday statement to Fox News Digital.
The issue historically has been controversial within Trump’s base, particularly after Trump himself came out and backed H-1B visas, saying it was a "great program" and that he’s a "believer in H-1B" in an interview with the New York Post in December 2024.
SpaceX and Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who originally is from South Africa and used an H-1B visa to remain in the U.S., also said in December he would "go to war" on the issue.
"The reason I’m in America along with so many critical people who built SpaceX, Tesla, and hundreds of other companies that made America strong is because of H1B," Musk said in a December 2024 post on X.
The comments and Trump’s support ignited backlash within the president’s own party. Original MAGA supporters like Steve Bannon, who previously served as Trump’s White House chief strategist, blasted the program in response and labeled it a "scam" in his podcast in December 2024.
DOJ CALLS FOR TIPS ON EMPLOYERS FAVORING FOREIGN WORKERS IN HIRING PRACTICES
He also promised to undermine Musk’s influence at the White House as Musk geared up to oversee the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) in a separate interview.
"This thing of the H-1B visas, it's about the entire immigration system is gamed by the tech overlords, they use it to their advantage, the people are furious," Bannon told Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera in January.
In the same interview, Bannon vowed to "run out" Musk from the White House and would make "it my personal thing to take this guy down."
Members of the left also remain critical of the H-1B program. For example, Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., said that the program is used to replace U.S. workers and pay foreigners for less.
"The main function of the H-1B visa program is not to hire ‘the best and the brightest,’ but rather to replace good-paying American jobs with low-wage indentured servants from abroad," Sanders said in a post on X in January. "The cheaper the labor they hire, the more money the billionaires make."

Kimmel's wife says daughter 'burst into tears' after dad's show suspended, son asked if Trump was responsible
Television writer-producer Molly McNearney, the wife of late-night host Jimmy Kimmel, opened up on the Nov. 6 episode of the "We Can Do Hard Things" podcast about how she and Kimmel told their children that his show, "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" had been suspended.
McNearney, co-head writer and the executive producer of "Jimmy Kimmel Live," said their 11-year-old daughter burst into tears upon hearing that the show had been suspended, while their 8-year-old son asked whether President Donald Trump was to blame.
In mid-September, Disney briefly suspended ABC’s "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" after the host’s remarks about the alleged assassin of Charlie Kirk sparked widespread backlash. After an about-face from Disney, the liberal comedian returned the following week.
Kimmel's wife said the couple initially "put on a mask" for their children after they returned home from school but decided to tell them about the show's suspension before they found out themselves.
"Jimmy let them know. He said, ‘Our show has … my show has been suspended.’ And our daughter immediately burst into tears."
After describing their daughter's reaction to the news, McNearney said their son asked if the president played a role in "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" being taken off the air.
"Our son asked if the president had done this, and we looked at each other, and we didn't quite know how to answer that question," she recalled, with Kimmel interjecting, "I think I said yes."
YOUNG CONSERVATIVES SAY KIMMEL FACED 'CONSEQUENCES,' NOT CANCEL CULTURE AFTER ABC SUSPENSION
McNearney concurred, adding, "We did. We actually both said yes at the exact same time. We said ‘Yes, he did.’"
Later on in the show, McNearney revealed that she has lost relationships with some of her Trump-voting relatives over her husband's disagreements with the president.
"It hurts me so much because of the personal relationship I now have, where my husband is out there fighting this man, and to me, them voting for Trump is them not voting for my husband and me and our family. And I unfortunately have kind of lost relationships with people in my family because of it," McNearney said.
She continued, saying that, for her, politics are no longer about "Republican versus Democrat," but about "family values."
JIMMY KIMMEL CHOKES UP AS HE EXPLAINS KIRK COMMENTS, SAYS HE 'NEVER' INTENDED TO MOCK ASSASSINATION
"And it's really hard for me because I grew up believing in these Christian ideals of taking care of the sick and taking care of the poor, and I don't see that happening with this Republican Party. And so it's — I feel like I'm kind of in constant conflict, and I'm angry all the time, which isn't healthy at all," McNearney said..
"But I, like, personalize everything now. When I see these terrible stories every day, I'm immediately mad at certain aunts, uncles, cousins who put [Trump] in power."
The producer added that these feelings have been "really hard" for her to deal with and that she wishes she could "deprogram" herself to make it easier. She also revealed that before the 2024 election, she reached out to some of her conservative family members in a last-ditch effort to convince them not to vote for Trump.
When previously asked for comment by Fox News Digital, White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson responded, "Only someone suffering from TDS would be arrogant enough to claim that a vote for lower taxes, security and a strong economy is a vote against them personally. Millions of hardworking Americans voted for President Trump. No one cares what out-of-touch Jimmy Kimmel and his wife think about it."
DHS: Chicago crime drops sharply after federal operation targeting criminal illegal immigrants
A heavily criticized months-long federal law enforcement operation in Chicago has caused a decrease in crime and resulted in the removal of criminal illegal immigrants, the Department of Homeland Security said Wednesday.
Since the Operation Midway Blitz in September, many crimes have dropped, including a 15% drop in murders, murders, a 41% drop in robberies, and a 48% decrease in carjackings. In addition, transit crime was down 20% and shootings dropped by 35%, its lowest levels in four years, DHS said.
"For decades, sanctuary policies exasperated the crime crisis in Chicago. Now thanks to our brave DHS law enforcement, Chicago is experiencing a historic drop in violent crime," said Assistant DHS Secretary Tricia McLaughlin.
BORDER PATROL CHIEF FIRES BACK AFTER PRITZKER CALLS FEDERAL OPERATIONS 'UNCONSTITUTIONAL INVASION'
"It’s common sense—when you remove the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens from our country—crime rates plummet," she added.
The operation has been heavily criticized by Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson.
Pritzker has characterized the law enforcement presence in the city as targeting people of color, as well as American citizens, instead of going after the "worst of the worst."
"They need to get out of Chicago if they're not going to focus on the worst of the worst," the governor said during an October appearance on CNN. "They need to get the heck out."
Some of the illegal immigrants targeted include a Latin Kings gang member with convictions for burglary, two DUIs, as well as other crimes. Another illegal immigrant from Mexico was previously convicted of sexual assault and burglary.
Others have convictions for murder, weapons possession, robbery, battery on a peace officer and negligent manslaughter homicide vehicle, authorities said.
Johnson, the Chicago mayor, recently criticized Border Patrol commander Gregory Bovino for the immigration raids in his city, saying the law enforcement official's behavior "provokes terror on people."
"I’ve seen a lot of bad behavior from human beings over the course of my study of just history," Johnson told reporters. "Even when he (Bovino) was on his way into federal court, he paraded down the street and saluted individuals," he added, furrowing his brow.
"And then [DHS goes] on social media and put hip-hop music to their terror in Black and Brown communities. That's not even a dog whistle anymore. That's some real racist jacked-up stuff that he is engaged in."
Fox News Digital has reached out to the offices of Pritzker and Johnson.

His Guardians teammate, Emmanuel Clase, was also charged in the alleged scheme.
Clase will be arraigned at the same courthouse Thursday.
"Emmanuel Clase has devoted his life to baseball and doing everything in his power to help his team win," Clase's lawyer, Michael Ferrara, said in an emailed statement Wednesday.
MLB placed Ortiz and Clase on non-disciplinary paid leave due to a gambling probe July 3. When Fox News Digital reached out for an update on the investigation Oct. 22, MLB directed Fox News Digital to an August statement.
"MLB contacted federal law enforcement at the outset of its investigation and has fully cooperated throughout the process. We are aware of the indictment and today's arrest, and our investigation is ongoing," MLB’s statement on Sunday said.
Clase and Ortiz "conspired with bettors to rig pitches in professional baseball games so that the bettors would profit from illegal wagers made based on that inside information," an indictment says. "The defendants agreed in advance with their co-conspirators to throw specific types and speeds of pitches, and their co-conspirators used that inside information to place wagers on those pitches.
"In some instances, the defendants received bribes and kickback payments — funneled through third parties — in exchange for rigging pitches. Through this scheme, the defendants defrauded betting platforms, deprived Major League Baseball and the Cleveland Guardians of their honest services, illegally enriched themselves and their co-conspirators, misled the public and betrayed America’s past time."
GUARDIANS PITCHERS INDICTED IN GAMBLING SCHEME INVOLVING MLB GAMES
Officials said in the indictment that, from May 2023 to June 2025, Clase agreed with one co-conspirator to "throw specific pitches in certain MLB games" so that the bettors they were allegedly partnered with "would profit from illegal wagers made based on that inside information." Ortiz allegedly joined the scheme in June 2025.
The indictment said Clase conferred with one bettor to throw a ball on the first pitch of an at-bat when he was brought into games in relief. The indictment pointed to instances in specific games, including May 19, 2023, vs. the New York Mets; June 2, 2023, vs. the Minnesota Twins; and June 7, 2023, vs. the Boston Red Sox.
Clase allegedly began to request and receive bribes and kickback payments for agreeing to throw the specific pitches in April, according to the indictment. In one instance, the indictment said, Clase used his phone in the middle of a game to coordinate with a bettor on a pitch he would throw.
Bettors allegedly won $400,000 from betting platforms on pitches thrown by Clase between 2023 and 2025.
When Ortiz allegedly joined the scheme, the indictment said, he agreed to throw balls over strikes on certain pitches in exchange for bribes or kickbacks. He allegedly agreed to throw a ball on June 15 against the Seattle Mariners for around $5,000 in his first pitch in the second inning.
The indictment said Ortiz agreed to throw a ball in his first pitch of the third inning on June 27 against the St. Louis Cardinals for $7,000.
In June 2025, bettors won at least $60,000 on pitches thrown by Ortiz.
The indictment announcement came weeks after three NBA figures were swept up in an FBI operation involving illegal gambling. Chauncey Billups, Terry Rozier and Damon Jones were among the more than two dozen arrested in the scheme.
