Pop star Olivia Rodrigo felt 'enraged' after ICE used her hit song, brands agency 'barbaric'
Grammy-winner Olivia Rodrigo said she was "enraged" to discover federal immigration authorities using her music in an online video prompting illegal immigrants to leave the country.
Speaking with "Dazed Magazine," Rodrigo spoke about her public battle with the Department of Homeland Security and the moment she realized they used her song online.
"I was just scrolling on my phone. It was so deeply disturbing to see that propaganda," Rodrigo said. "The fact it was my song in there made me feel even more enraged."
The controversy stemmed from a November 2025 post encouraging illegal immigrants to self-deport from the country. It was posted by DHS and the White House using Rodrigo’s "All-american b----" from her 2023 album, "GUTS," in the background.
WHITE HOUSE FIRES BACK AFTER SABRINA CARPENTER SLAMS ICE VIDEO USING HER SONG
The video was captioned: "LEAVE NOW and self-deport using the CBP Home app. If you don’t, you will face the consequences." It also showed agents arresting illegal immigrants.
The former Disney star quickly took to Instagram to express her outrage at the time, writing, "Don’t ever use my songs to promote your racist, hateful propaganda." The song has since been removed from the post, which now notes the audio is no longer available.
Rodrigo doubled down on her criticism of ICE in her latest interview, describing the work of immigration enforcement as "barbaric."
"What they’re doing is so awful and barbaric and cruel," she said. "I am really sad to be in a country that thinks that’s OK."
A DHS spokesperson responded to the singer's criticism in a statement to Fox News Digital, referencing Rodrigo's lyrics. "America is grateful all the time for our federal law enforcement officers who keep us safe," the spokesperson wrote. "We suggest Ms. Rodrigo thank them for their service, not belittle their sacrifice."
The singer has been an outspoken critic of President Donald Trump and spoken about political issues, including abortion access and the conflict in Gaza. In the same interview, she noted she believes it is an artist's job to share how they feel with the public.
"I think part of being an artist is sharing how you feel with other people," she said. "I don’t have a political science degree, I’m not the most educated person on planet Earth, but I like to try and stay up to date on things and share how I feel."
She is also not the only artist to push back on DHS’s use of their music in posts. In December, Sabrina Carpenter blasted the Trump administration for using her song "Juno" in a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) video.
"Do not ever involve me or my music to benefit your inhumane agenda," Carpenter wrote on X. The video showed what appeared to be ICE raids with Carpenter’s song over the top.
OLYMPIC ICON DETAILS THE BRUTAL MOMENT HE BECAME THE 'MOST HATED MAN IN THE WORLD'
A White House spokesperson responded to Carpenter, telling Fox News Digital, "Here’s a Short n’ Sweet message for Sabrina Carpenter: we won’t apologize for deporting dangerous criminal illegal murderers, rapists, and pedophiles from our country. Anyone who would defend these sick monsters must be stupid, or is it slow?"
Fetterman dares Platner to release messages with mystery women, says he'll 'wear a suit every day' in return
Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman ramped up criticism of embattled Senate candidate Graham Platner on Wednesday, calling out the Maine progressive over his history of inflammatory remarks while challenging him to release messages linked to a Kik account that has become a flashpoint in his campaign.
"This is a guy that had a problem with me, how I dress, but he seemed to have no problem posing in a towel at a disgusting website that consistently had serious problems about that kinds of depravity," Fetterman told Fox News host Sean Hannity.
The Democrat later challenged Platner to make public messages he allegedly exchanged with women on the platform.
"Let me make a deal. I'll tell P-Hustle, I'll wear a suit every day, if he releases all those texts and messages that he's had... [with] the dozen women," he continued, referencing Platner's username on the platform.
THE GROWING LIST OF CONTROVERSIES THREATENING DEMOCRAT GRAHAM PLATNER'S MAINE SENATE BID
"You can prove [to] America... what's [in] these conversations. Can P-Hustle prove how old these people are?"
Fetterman argued that Platner should release the messages if he has "nothing to hide," while raising concerns about age verification on anonymous messaging platforms.
Platner's campaign previously acknowledged that the Kik account, which was created in 2016, belonged to him, stating that he had deleted the app from his phone but did not deactivate the account, according to The Wall Street Journal.
Platner's campaign did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment on the matter.
"As a Democrat, I'm never going to carry water for a guy that calls an American hero a dumb MFer, or someone that smears Chris Kyle... and claimed that he's shooting innocent civilians. You've literally lost count..."
"It's countless. It absolutely is."
PLATNER STILL HAS ACTIVE ACCOUNT ON ANONYMOUS APP DUBBED 'PREDATOR'S PARADISE' AMID CHEATING SCANDAL
Fetterman's remarks addressed a slew of issues that have put Platner's campaign on defense, including a tranche of controversial Reddit posts, a video appearing to accuse late Navy SEAL Chris Kyle of inflating his statistics by killing civilians and his since-covered Nazi Totenkopf tattoo, a symbol historically tied to the SS.
"He has [said] so many offensive things that it's hard to keep up with it," Fetterman said.
While Fetterman has repeatedly distanced himself from Platner and questioned whether Democrats should rally behind the candidate, other prominent Democrats and Democratic-aligned figures have continued to back his campaign.
Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., defended Platner during a recent interview, while Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., have endorsed his bid to unseat incumbent Republican Sen. Susan Collins, who has represented Maine in the Senate since 1997.
Platner has offered explanations for some of the controversies.
He previously stated that he had gotten the Totenkopf tattoo in 2007 and was unaware of its affiliation with Nazism at the time.
Platner apologized and expressed hope that people would "judge me on the person I am today" when pressed on past social media controversies, stating he was "having a difficult time settling into society" after serving in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Charter breach warning: What customers should know
A phone call may have opened the door to a major telecom security scare involving Charter Communications, the company behind Spectrum. Charter is one of the largest broadband and cable providers in the United States, serving more than 32 million customers across more than 40 states with internet, cable TV, mobile and phone service.
The company has confirmed a cybersecurity incident after the ransomware group ShinyHunters listed it on a leak site. Charter says the most sensitive customer information was not released. However, the hackers claim they stole millions of records, which means customers should stay alert for scams that may follow.
The incident became public after ShinyHunters added Charter to its data leak site. The ransomware group claimed it breached the company's systems and threatened to release stolen data unless a ransom was paid.
Charter has confirmed it is aware of the situation. The company says it is following security protocols and working with authorities. CyberGuy reached out to Charter for comment. A Charter spokesperson provided this statement:
"We are aware of the situation, following our security protocols and are working with appropriate authorities. Only sales tools used to manage current, past and prospective Business customers were impacted; no CPNI or sensitive PI was released by the threat actor."
In other words, Charter says the breach affected sales tools used for current, past and prospective business customers. The company also says hackers did not release sensitive personal information or private telecom account data. Private telecom account data can include details tied to someone's service, account activity or communication services. For customers, the key point is this: Charter says the incident was limited. The hackers are making a much broader claim.
ShinyHunters claims the attack happened on April 1, 2026. The group says it used a voice phishing scam, also known as vishing, to get inside.
A vishing attack usually starts with a phone call. The attacker pretends to be someone trustworthy, often IT support, customer service or a security employee. Then the scammer tries to pressure the person into approving access, sharing a code or opening a company system.
According to ShinyHunters, the attackers obtained access to a Microsoft Entra account belonging to an employee. Microsoft Entra helps companies manage employee logins and access. From there, the group claims it accessed Charter's Salesforce system. ShinyHunters says it pulled customer names, email addresses, home addresses, phone numbers, phone types, plan information and support ticket data.
The group also claims some private telecom account data was stolen. Charter denies that sensitive personal information or private telecom account data was released. That gap between Charter's statement and the hackers' claims is why customers should pay attention.
1 CLICK COST A FATHER $4 MILLION IN BITCOIN TO VISHING SCAMMERS
Even if the most sensitive information was not released, exposed contact details can still create problems. Scammers can use names, email addresses, phone numbers, addresses and service details to make fake messages feel more believable. They may pretend to be Charter, Spectrum, billing support or technical support.
A scammer might claim your account needs verification. They could warn that your service will be disconnected. They may also offer a fake refund or ask you to update your payment information. That is where customers can get caught off guard.
The scam may sound more believable if the person already knows your provider or account details. That does not mean you should panic. It does mean you should slow down before clicking, replying or sharing anything.
This incident also shows why companies need to take phone-based attacks seriously. Hackers no longer need to rely only on malicious emails. Sometimes, they call an employee and talk their way into a system.
Companies should train workers to verify unexpected support calls. They should also limit employee access, monitor unusual logins and use stronger sign-in protections for cloud tools.
Salesforce, Microsoft Entra and other business platforms can hold valuable customer information. That makes them attractive targets. A convincing phone call should never be enough to open the door.
10 SIGNS YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS BEING SOLD ONLINE
You may not control what happens inside a company's systems, but you can control how quickly you react to suspicious calls, texts, emails and account changes.
Be careful with unexpected calls, texts or emails claiming to come from Charter or Spectrum. Do not click links in surprise messages. Instead, open the official Spectrum app or type the company's website into your browser.
Never give a one-time login code to someone who calls you. Scammers often ask for these codes because they are trying to break into your account. A real support agent should not need you to read that code out loud.
If you have a Spectrum account, change your password. Use a strong password that you do not use anywhere else. A password manager can help you create and save stronger passwords without having to remember each one. Check out the best expert-reviewed password managers of 2026 at CyberGuy.com.
Log in through the official Spectrum website or app. Review your email address, phone number, billing information and account settings. If anything looks strange, contact Spectrum directly through a verified number.
Scammers may use breach news to send fake payment warnings. They might say your card failed or that your account will be suspended. Do not pay through a link in a text or email. Go directly to your account instead.
If someone calls claiming to be from Charter or Spectrum, do not rely on caller ID. Scammers can spoof real company numbers. Let the call go to voicemail. Then call back using a number from your bill or the official website.
Install strong antivirus software on your devices. It can help detect malicious links, fake websites, malware and other online threats. That extra layer helps if you accidentally click something risky. Get my picks for the best 2026 antivirus protection winners for your Windows, Mac, Android and iOS devices at CyberGuy.com.
A data removal service can help reduce how much of your personal information appears on people-search sites and data broker databases. After a breach, scammers often combine leaked information with public records. The less they can find about you online, the harder it becomes to make a scam feel personal. Check out my top picks for data removal services and get a free scan to find out if your personal information is already out on the web by visiting CyberGuy.com.
If your personal information appears in a breach, identity theft protection can help you spot suspicious activity faster. Some services monitor the dark web, alert you to possible misuse and help with recovery steps. You can also check your credit reports and consider a credit freeze if you are worried about identity theft. See my tips and best picks on Best Identity Theft Protection at CyberGuy.com.
The Charter data breach story comes down to two very different claims. Charter says the incident affected sales tools for business customers and that hackers did not release sensitive personal or private telecom account information. ShinyHunters claims it stole millions of records with customer details. Until more facts come out, the safest move is to stay alert. Check your account, avoid surprise links and be careful with anyone who calls claiming to be from Charter or Spectrum. Even basic contact information can help a scammer sound more convincing.

Cameron Smith conveniently says golf prize money needs to 'come back' down after cashing in with LIV Golf
It isn't necessarily bold or even controversial to say that the amount of money in professional golf has gotten out of control in recent years. Purses have consistently increased, no-cut events have become a part of the routine, guaranteeing gargantuan paydays, and it's not exactly easy to justify.
It is, however, easy to point to what has gotten the sport to this overexposed spot in rather rapid fashion: LIV Golf.
With the Saudi Arabia Public Investment Fund (PIF) signing several players to reported nine-figure contracts while also playing limited, no-cut events beginning in 2022, it forced the PGA Tour to react with increased purses as well, and that ripple effect has only intensified over the last four years.
One player who quickly jumped ship from the PGA Tour to LIV in 2022 was Cameron Smith.
The Aussie reportedly signed a multi-year contract with the breakaway circuit for $140 million. Despite accruing generational wealth, that hasn't stopped him from speaking about the money in professional golf getting out of hand, although it probably should.
"This has been an awesome four or five years for us golfers, for everyone around the world. It's changed a lot of things, but I think realistically, it's time for everything to come back to the way it was," Smith told the Daily Mirror.
ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON'T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW!
Smith's response was regarding a question about the expectation of LIV Golf having to rein things in financially with the Saudis officially pulling funding at the conclusion of the 2026 season. However, that doesn't make his comments easier to digest, especially for the superstar players who remained loyal to the PGA Tour and didn't receive contracts of over $100 million.
It's worth pointing out that Smith hasn't won a LIV event since 2023 and has missed the cut in six of his last seven major championships. He's consistently been noncompetitive in recent years, but was still rewarded with a nine-figure payday, which is ironically the most obvious issue when it comes to money jumping the shark in professional golf.
In Smith's defense, he wasn't among the many players who joined LIV Golf and issued the bogus claim that "growing the game" was the reason he came to the decision. He explained that it was a business decision and an offer he simply couldn't ignore.
Smith took advantage of the current circumstances and offer presented to him — you can't fault him for that — but he hasn't exactly earned credibility to be any sort of spokesperson about the finances in the sport.
Ted Danson says he wants to 'apologize forever' for doing blackface at Whoopi Goldberg roast
Ted Danson said this week that he wants to "apologize forever" for doing blackface during a roast of former girlfriend Whoopi Goldberg in 1993.
"I would like to address this and apologize forever," the "Cheers" star told W. Kamau Bell on his "Who’s With Me?" podcast on Wednesday.
He reiterated, "I have no problem talking about this, but I need to and want to apologize for the rest of my life because somebody today can go on the internet, you're right, and go, ‘What the f---? Wow, I feel betrayed. I feel angry’ and whatever. And I did that."
Danson said he was intimidated about roasting Goldberg at the Friars Club, whom he called one of the most "outrageous, funny Black women in the world at that point."
‘SEINFELD’ STAR MICHAEL RICHARDS MOUNTS WILD COMEBACK AFTER INFAMOUS RANT SPARKED COMEDY EXODUS
Knowing that he wasn’t a stand-up comedian, he decided he would go with "performance theater" for her roast.
He said during their relationship, the tabloids went after them for their interracial romance, saying, a White man and Black woman couldn’t be dating "because they liked each other or saw something in each other. It had to be sex. It had to be just pure sex, that's the only reason for a relationship like this."
In his mind, as he pondered what he would do for his performance, he thought: "If I were Black, I could say all these outrageous things. I'm not. Then my mind went, ‘Well, I will do it in blackface.’"
He added that at the time he wanted to address what the tabloids had said about their relationship in his performance, but didn’t realize at the time it was getting "darker" and "angrier" and ended up having an "edge to it."
Danson added that he had also "latched onto" a stand-up bit that Goldberg was doing at the time about not caring if people use the n-word because she felt that well-spoken people can be even more racist.
"I thought I could pull I could pull this off," Danson scoffed. "I thought that this — there's no one been Whiter than me in the world — that this White guy could have something valuable to say about, uh, race and race relations was so stupid and entitled."

The "Becker" actor explained that he thought he could be "Robin Williams. I can … step up and I can pull this off."
"And that was so arrogant and stupid on my part," he admitted. "So, off I go, using all this horrendous language describing our love affair while also in blackface."
Danson revealed that he had run his plan for his performance by Goldberg, who he thinks maybe "didn't want to squelch my creativity," and had worked on it for months.
ROGAN TELLS ‘TRAITOR’ COMEDIANS CONDEMNING THE KEVIN HART ROAST TO ‘F--- ALL THE WAY OFF’
"And within 20 seconds, I was like I stuck my finger in a light socket," Danson revealed, adding that it felt like about 20% of the crowd "got" what he was doing and liked it, about 30% got it and hated it, and the rest "hated it and hated me. Yeah. And I kept going."
Bell admitted that as a performer, just listening to Danson’s story was giving him "flop sweats."
"I thought I was doing a satire on race relationships," Danson said. "And I thought I was being edgy."
In his defense, Bell pointed out that it was supposed to be a private event, but Danson said it had "left the room before I was over."
By the time he got back to his hotel, he said he had to get on the phone with the mayor of New York City at the time, who hadn’t been in the room but had heard about it, and his manager said he couldn’t physically open his hotel room door because there were so many messages in front of it.
He said the stunt also frustrated his wife of more than 30 years, Mary Steenburgen, whom he married in 1995 and who he said has done much work on civil rights.

The incident also resurfaced during the Black Lives Matter movement, Danson said, adding that he lost some corporate sponsorships, and it "scared" him.
"I am forever apologetic," he said.
For the longest time, he said he would say, "I knew what my intention was. My intention was love. It doesn't matter. Your intentions do not matter. The impact you have on people is what matters."
"I thought I could run with the big boys and I couldn't, and it was stupid, and it was not my place, and it was wrong, and it was hurtful," he admitted.
Bell lauded Danson for his willingness to admit that he was wrong, adding that he experienced cancel culture before it had a name.
"And the fact that you even dealt with it in more recent years speaks to who you are, and why I would want to talk to you," Bell said, adding that he found it even more "admirable" that Danson continues to be willing to discuss the incident "because most people don’t."
Shohei Ohtani puts together patently absurd stat line against Diamondbacks as tear on the mound continues
Another day that ends in the letter y, another ridiculous performance from Los Angeles Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani.
The sports world as a whole has become numb to Ohtani putting in ridiculous performances both on the mound and at the plate, which is the ultimate compliment for the Japanese star. The stat line he put together on Wednesday against the Arizona Diamondbacks, however, is worth highlighting because it's just that impressive.
DAVE ROBERTS CALLS CRITICISM OF DODGERS' SPENDING 'LAZY,' SAYS RIVALS SHOULD 'LOOK IN THE MIRROR'
The 31-year-old gave up two hits, walked one batter and struck out six on 89 pitches in 6.0 innings of work in Los Angeles' 7-0 win on the road. That's a great day's work for any pitcher in baseball.
Then, you add in what he did with a bat in his hand, and it's just another example many can and will point to while claiming Ohtani is the best to ever step foot on the diamond.
While Ohtani did strike out once on Wednesday, he finished the contest going 3-for-4 at the plate while drawing two walks and scoring one run.
Picking up three hits and scoring a run while you simultaneously only give up two hits and zero runs on the mound is mind-boggling stuff.
After his six scoreless innings, Ohtani's ERA fell to 0.74 for the year across 61.0 innings of work in his 10 starts. If that number catches your attention, that's because it should.
ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON'T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW!
According to ESPN Insights, Ohtani's 0.74 ERA is the third-lowest through 10 starts since 1913. Juan Marichal's 0.59 ERA in 1966 and Jacob deGrom's 0.56 mark in 2021 are the only two to better Ohtani's number.
Marichal and deGrom, however, weren't also batting .301 or putting together a .941 OPS at the plate.
Ohtani is a four-time MLB MVP, but has yet to add a Cy Young Award to his resume, although it looks like that achievement should be added sooner rather than later.
Chris Sale's historic home ERA makes Braves run line a must-bet against struggling Blue Jays
Thursday is one of my favorite baseball days of the week. It is a travel day, which means that a lot of teams aren’t taking the field, but that means I can spend more time digging into games and match ups. Today we have a game between the Blue Jays and Braves that I think will reward us with some cash.
The Blue Jays are still trying to climb their way out of the early-season struggles. They are just 29-33 for the season and could use some help at the trade deadline. There are questions about where the help will come from and in what form. However, I expect ownership to make a move to try and push them back to grabbing at least a wild card spot. Maybe they just need to be healthy; they have three starting pitchers on the injured list. The team was just 29-29 before losing their last four games. It almost feels like a one step forward, two back situation.
Tonight, DraftKings has Mason Fluharty listed as their starter. That means this is essentially a bullpen game for the Blue Jays. I can’t expect the "starter" to go deep into this one, considering he hasn’t pitched more than 1.1 innings in a game this season. He also pitched on Tuesday. The bullpen should be fairly fresh, though. In the series, they’ve only tossed 5 innings. Someone on the team will likely go three or four innings, even if they get rocked. They kind of have to do it. Overall, the Toronto bullpen is about average in the league.
The Atlanta Braves have been rolling this season. It was a bit of a disaster last year, at least in part due to the injury bug, but we’ve known this is a talented team for years. Are they going to coast to a division title? It is possible. The Phillies have at least started putting pressure on Atlanta, but the Braves still have the biggest division lead in baseball. We all know that divisions aren’t won in June, but for now, the team is rolling.
BRAVES' CHRIS SALE REACHES 2,500 STRIKEOUTS FASTER THAN ANY PITCHER IN MLB HISTORY
Chris Sale is taking the mound tonight for the Braves, and he is once again looking like a Cy Young contender. For the season, he is 8-3 with a 2.01 ERA and a 0.94 WHIP. Those three numbers are all fourth or better in baseball. Chances are that he will end up as a Cy Young finalist (Christopher Sanchez should give him a run for it). Sale has been absolutely elite at home this year. He has a 4-1 record with a minuscule 0.60 ERA. The only runs he has allowed at home this year are two solo homers. Most Blue Jays hitters haven’t faced him, but Vlad Guerrero and George Springer are a combined 10-for-41 against him.
So you’re telling me the Blue Jays have an average pitching situation (at best), have lost four straight, struggle on the road, and now have to face one of the best pitchers in baseball. Not only that, but they face Sale in his best situation — at home, where he's allowed two runs in 30 innings. How can Toronto win this one?
They won’t. The bet here isn’t to take the moneyline; you don’t need an article to tell you the Braves at -207 is a play. I personally don’t like playing baseball games much higher than -135, but I do think the Braves are still technically a value at -207. This should be -250 or higher. My play, however, is on the run line. The Braves to win by at least two runs is +104. It’s crazy to me that it is plus money at all. The Braves have had 12 one-run games this season. That means they are 30-30 on the run line, so we are getting good value on this number, too. Give me this one for multiple units.

Karen Read unleashes explosive lawsuit against state police, Canton police: court docs
Karen Read, the Boston woman acquitted of murder stemming from the death of her police officer boyfriend, is headed back to court after she filed a new lawsuit suing the Town of Canton and the Massachusetts State Police over their alleged mishandling of the investigation.
The 87-page lawsuit obtained by Fox News Digital was filed in Bristol Superior Court Thursday morning and alleges "an imbedded culture of bigotry, misogyny, systemic failures, and institutional rot at the very core of both organizations."
Court documents include a series of expletive-laced messages exchanged between the case’s former lead investigator, ex-Trooper Michael Proctor, and former Canton Police Sgt. Sean Goode, and alleges widespread misconduct and negligence surrounding the probe into John O’Keefe’s 2022 death.
"[S]he’s a jew…so def puts out," Goode wrote in one text, according to court documents.
SIGN UP TO GET TRUE CRIME NEWSLETTER
The filing also points to messages allegedly sent by Proctor, in which he referred to Read as a "retarded," "whack job c---," with "no a--."
The text messages also include a slew of alleged derogatory remarks toward Boston Mayor Michelle Wu and New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft, referring to Wu as a "little c----" and Kraft as a "terrible c----- Jew."
"Put simply, they were then and are now completely and unquestionably unfit to hold positions of authority with MSP and CPD, much less to play important roles — or in Ms. Read's case, the primary role — in homicide investigations," the court filing added.
In a statement released to the media, attorneys Alan Jackson, Damon Seligson and Aaron Rosenberg alleged the two law enforcement agencies fostered "a culture of bias and corruption that they built, tolerated, and hid from the public for years."
"Michael Proctor and Sean Goode did not slip through the cracks; they are emblematic of the failure to responsibly exercise the trust and faith the public puts in these institutions," the attorneys added.
KAREN READ 'DIDN'T DO THIS CRIME,' SAYS JURY FOREMAN AFTER ACQUITTING HER OF MURDER CHARGES: REPORT
Read was acquitted of murder and manslaughter charges last year following a mistrial in the death of O’Keefe.
In a statement to Fox News Digital, MSP Col. Geoffrey Noble condemned the alleged comments made by Proctor.
"These disturbing messages are entirely inconsistent with any basic standard of decency and certainly with the expectations of a Massachusetts State Trooper," Noble said. "These racist, sexist and abhorrent comments absolutely do not reflect the values of the Massachusetts State Police and are not tolerated within our ranks. They underscore and fully support my decision to terminate Michael Proctor."
"We do so keenly aware of the ways in which this misconduct harmed the public trust on which our mission depends," he added.
LISTEN TO THE NEW 'CRIME & JUSTICE WITH DONNA ROTUNNO' PODCAST
At the time, prosecutors alleged Read drunkenly struck O’Keefe with her SUV and left him to freeze to death in the snowy front yard of a friend’s home in nearby Canton. However, her defense team successfully argued that Read was not responsible for O’Keefe’s death.
The development comes just days after Goode, who responded to the scene of O’Keefe’s death and testified in Read’s first trial, resigned from the Canton Police Department following an investigation into alleged misconduct, according to Boston 25. Authorities have not revealed if the probe is connected to Read’s case.

In 2025, Proctor was fired from his position within the state police after his text messages sent about Read were read in her first trial.
Read is also facing a wrongful death lawsuit filed by O’Keefe’s family, and has filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against multiple witnesses who testified against her in both murder trials.
"Karen Read was acquitted of every charge related to John O'Keefe’s death — and now the agencies that negligently permitted virulent misogynists and bigots to target her will answer for what they built, what they concealed, and what they did to her," Read's attorneys wrote. "The days of hiding behind badges and promotions while peddling vile bigotry are over. The truth is coming, and with it an unflinching reckoning."
Fox News Digital reached out to the Town of Canton, Massachusetts State Police and Read’s attorneys for comment.

Outgoing Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, in a heartfelt X post Thursday, revealed her husband Abraham Williams is recovering at home after undergoing nearly seven hours of surgery for what she described as a "very rare sacral chordoma."
"My husband Abraham was diagnosed with a very rare sacral chordoma," Gabbard wrote Thursday on X. "The surgery to remove bone and surrounding tissue lasted almost seven hours and was successful.
"He had a rough night and is in a lot of pain but is finally home resting. Now recovery begins."
Gabbard announced her pending resignation as DNI to support her husband through his battle with "an extremely rare form of bone cancer," as first reported by Fox News Digital last month.

Gabbard notified President Donald Trump during a meeting in the Oval Office in mid-May. Her last day at ODNI was expected to be June 30.
"We’re so grateful for the outpouring of prayers and kind messages from all of you," Gabbard's Thursday post, revealing the precise diagnosis for the first time, concluded. "Our hearts are full."
Trump announced Tuesday he appointing Federal Housing Finance Agency chief Bill Pulte as acting DNI to succeed Gabbard.

"During this period, he will remain Director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, and Chairman of Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac," Trump wrote in a Truth Social post.
Gabbard assumed office in February 2025 and is a U.S. Army Reserve officer and combat veteran. She previously served in Congress for multiple terms as a Democrat before leaving the party to become an independent and later joining the Republican Party.
Fox News Digital exclusively obtained her formal resignation letter, in which Gabbard says she is "deeply grateful for the trust you placed in me and for the opportunity to lead the Office of the Director of National Intelligence for the last year and a half."

"Unfortunately, I must submit my resignation, effective June 30, 2026," she wrote. "My husband, Abraham, has recently been diagnosed with an extremely rare form of bone cancer."

"At this time, I must step away from public service to be by his side and fully support him through this battle," she said.

Gabbard added: "Abraham has been my rock throughout our eleven years of marriage — standing steadfast through my deployment to East Africa on a Joint Special Operations mission, multiple political campaigns and now my service in this role."
She wrote that she "cannot in good conscience ask him to face this fight alone while I continue in this demanding and time-consuming position."
Trump responded to the resignation on Truth Social, writing that she "rightfully" wants to support her husband during a tough battle.

A sacral chordoma is a rare, slow-growing cancerous bone tumor that develops in the sacrum, the triangular bone at the base of the spine above the tailbone.
The National Cancer Institute describes chordoma as a rare bone cancer that can develop at the base of the skull, in the spine or at the end of the spine in the sacrum or coccyx.
