It's an active weather pattern for many across the U.S. We're also talking about heat and tropical threats on our afternoon's national forecast with Meteorologist Susie Martin

Chicago police officers were seen joining in on a massive water gun fight with residents in the middle of the street. The video shows both cops and community members laughing, dodging, and spraying each other in a rare moment of fun and unity during a hot day in the city. No arrests—just water everywhere. 💦💦💦

Do you think more moments like this could help improve police-community relations in Chicago?

When the two officers arrived, they were “unexpectedly fired upon”. Both officers were struck and neither was able to return fire. Now, the Milwaukee Police Association Fallen Heroes, Inc., is collecting donations to provide emergency assistance.

Michigan: A chaotic scene broke out Monday morning on Detroit’s west side as federal agents attempted to arrest an individual.

The incident occurred on Alaska Street near Joy Road and Livernois, drawing a large crowd that included protesters. One person attempted to flee the area in a vehicle before abandoning it and running on foot.

ICE confirmed details of the operation in a statement.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers and agents, with assistance from partners at U.S. Border Patrol, the FBI, DEA, ATF, and U.S. Marshals, apprehended Marcos Fabian Arita Bautista this morning, according to officials.

“Arita is an illegal alien from Honduras who has been removed from the United States on two separate occasions,” ICE said in the statement.

Arita fled from ICE officers earlier in the morning. Officers observed him enter a residence and obtained a search warrant signed by a judge to search that residence. He was later taken into ICE custody.

“Arita illegally entered the United States near Falfurrias, Texas, in September 2015. He was apprehended by Border Patrol, served with an expedited removal order, and deported to Honduras. He entered illegally again in February 2018 near Hidalgo, Texas. Border Patrol apprehended him again, reinstated his final order of removal, and deported him to Honduras,” ICE said.

Arita pled guilty in 2022 to driving an unregistered vehicle, operating without required financial responsibility, and assigning an improper title in Dauphin County, Pennsylvania. In June 2025, ICE received information that Arita was residing in the Detroit area.

Criminal street gangs defend their turf by one means only, and that means is violence.” — Sgt. Christian Wecker, LAPPL Director. As the lawyer for Cudahy Vice Mayor Cynthia Gonzalez tries to walk back Gonzalez’s reckless and dangerous call to action of two dangerous street gangs with a history of violent attacks against law enforcement, rather than mislead her constituents with shameful spin, she should do the right thing for Cudahy residents and resign.
