    Oregon wildfire threatens thousands of homes as officials issue ominous warning
    Firefighters battling the Oregon Flat Fire, which has so far torched nearly 22,000 acres, could face setbacks if the latest weather conditions shift, officials cautioned Monday.The raging blaze, which is only 5% contained, has destroyed homes and buildings. Thousands of families have been forced to evacuate."The winds here can shift at any moment and that could change everything," Jason Carr, public information officer for the Deschutes County Sheriffs Office, told Fox News Digital.About 4,000 homes are still under evacuation notice, including 1,000 families ordered to "go now."MULTIPLE FIREFIGHTERS 'ATTACKED' WHILE RESPONDING TO FIRE IN NORTH IDAHOOfficials have since mapped 827 structures still at risk within the fires wide perimeter. Carr said crews were cautiously optimistic Monday afternoon after building new containment lines in the south Oregon area."The weather has cooperated, in the sense that we had a small disturbance come through which provided some cloud cover and raised the humidity levels," he said."That has helped tamp down fire activity, but that could change at any moment if the winds shift or the sun comes back out," he said.CREWS RESPOND TO MASSIVE EXPLOSIONS AT FIREWORKS FACILITY IN CALIFORNIADespite modest progress, officials stressed the volatility of the blaze. Spot fires remain a constant threat, sparked when embers jump existing fire lines."They can create spot fires and smaller fires outside the perimeter that crews then have to attack," Carr explained.Governor Tina Kotek invoked the Emergency Conflagration Act on Friday, enabling additional state resources. Fire officials had confirmed no new evacuation orders as of Sunday evening, a sign the fire had not advanced into new neighborhoods. While containment remains minimal, authorities emphasized that hundreds of homes have been spared thanks to aggressive firefighting and residents proactive reduction efforts.CALIFORNIANS CONFRONT MAN ACCUSED OF STARTING LA FIRE UNTIL POLICE MAKE ARREST"We are deeply saddened by the loss of homes and personal property. We are also encouraged that hundreds of homes have been protected thanks to aggressive firefighting efforts," said Deschutes County Sheriff Ty Rupert.Residents are under Level 1 (Be Ready), Level 2 (Be Set), and Level 3 (Go Now) evacuation levels.A Red Cross shelter is also operating in Redmond, and the Jefferson County Fairgrounds is housing large animals.With hot, dry weather forecast to return, officials said the next few days will be critical."Were certainly hopeful we dont end up in the situation we were in last week," Carr warned."With triple-digit heat, 10% humidity and high winds, this really pushed the fire quickly."

    Social media erupts after DNC speaker says migrant crime, carjackings 'don't matter' to many Americans
    Insha Rahman, vice president of advocacy and partnerships of the far-left criminal justice reform group, Vera Institute of Justice, caused an uproar on social media after she told Democrats on Monday that migrant crime and carjackings "don't matter to that many Americans."During a political strategy session about crime and safety at the Democratic National Committee's summer meeting in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Rahman urged Democrats to seize on President Donald Trump's crime crackdown, calling it a "political liability.""Trump is not about safety," Rahman said. "This is a political power grab, and he will do it however he can, whether that's at the ballot box or taking over our cities."While Rahman focused her remarks on how Democrats can reject Republicans' "tough on crime scare tactics," the Vera Institute, where the Democratic strategist serves as a senior official, has a long record of supporting defunding the police.JD VANCE REVEALS 'IMPORTANT LESSON' HE WANTS AMERICANS TO TAKE AWAY FROM DC"We must dismantle the current culture of policing in the United States," the Vera Institute said in a 2020 statement during the anti-police protests that erupted across the country after George Floyd, a Black man, was murdered by a White police officer in Minneapolis, Minnesota.VANCE, WHITE HOUSE BLAST 'CRAZY COMMUNISTS' PROTESTING DC CLEAN-UP, TERRORIZING LOCALS: 'STUPID WHITE HIPPIES'The liberal criminal justice think tank went on to affirm their support for "the outrage were seeing," and announced they were "building on this unique moment of public awareness, outrage, and calls to defund the police."Fox News Digital has covered the Vera Institute for years, including its ties to former President Joe Biden's Justice Department and billionaire liberal megadonor George Soros.The Vera Institute has advocated for defunding the police and has openly stated their mission is to demolish a "racist" criminal justice system.Fox News Digital discovered in 2022 that the non-profit secured a staggering $171.7 million federalcontract to provide legal assistance to unaccompanied minors, according to a federal database."Don't take the bait in talking about migrant crime or carjackings or the things that actually don't matter to that many Americans, and then go to the policy proposals that we think work," Rahman instructed Democrats on Monday.This clip went viral Monday afternoon with conservatives slamming Rahman for her rhetoric and pointing out her organization's ties to the Defund the Police movement."Who has given money to the George Soros-tied Vera Institute?" conservative communicator Steve Guest posted on X. "The Biden DOJ, the Open Society Foundations, Rockefeller, Tides, the Ford Foundation and MacKenzie Scott. Vera Institute in turn supports BLM and numerous left wing causes. FOLLOW THE MONEY!""This Democrat Speaker is a member of the Vera Institute of Justice which advocates for defunding the police," the Republican National Committee's research account posted on X."She makes over $300k in salary according to last years tax filings, and the Vera Institute brought in around $140 million in revenue," the Project for Immigration Reform posted on X.Trump last week floated the deployment of federal law enforcement to address major U.S. cities, including Chicago, after mobilizing more than 2,200 National Guard troops in Washington, D.C., to fight a "crime emergency."The president signed an executive order on Monday, seeking to eliminate cashless bail for suspects arrested in the nation's capital.Rahman said Democrats should respond by saying, "They want money and privilege and to give a handout to the bail bondsman while we want to make sure safety, not wealth, determines who stays in jail and who goes home to their families."She also advised Democrats not to let Trump "take credit" for crime going down."It's going down in spite of him and because of Democratic leadership like mine. That is the phrase you want to use. Don't be afraid of the crime debate. Lean all the way in. Call out what Trump is doing and say, 'The reason crime is going down, our communities are becoming safer, is because of us,'" Rahman said.Regarding questions about defunding the police, Rahman said Democrats should "call out the scare tactics.""I'm not about scare tactics or slogans," she said Democrats should tell their Republican opponents. "I'm not afraid to have an honest conversation.""We keep expecting police to solve every social problem. No one profession can do that. We're spending too much and putting too much burden on them. It's time to pry out some promising new solutions to lift the burden. It's time for support and change, not blame," she added.Fox News Digital reached out to the DNC and Vera but did not immediately receive a response.

    Cincinnati beatdown suspect indicted on federal drug conspiracy charges
    A suspect described by prosecutors as "the man who started" the viral July 26 downtown Cincinnati beatdown faces new legal trouble, this time with the federal government.Jermaine Mathews, 39, has been indicted on federal drug charges, the United States Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Ohio announced in a Monday afternoon release."According to the superseding indictment, Mathews is responsible for conspiring to distribute and possess with intent to distribute 40 grams or more of fentanyl," said United States Attorney Dominick S. Gerace II. "He is also charged with operating a premises on Kenton Street in Cincinnati for the purpose of trafficking narcotics."CINCINNATI BEATDOWN SUSPECTS ARRAIGNED ON NEW CHARGES; BOND CHANGES SPARK COURTROOM DRAMA"Mathews, who was described as a primary coordinator of the July 26 brawl in downtown Cincinnati, was on bond after being charged locally with aggravated riot and assault," the release said. "He was arrested today by federal agents and Hamilton County Sheriffs Office RENU officials on the superseding indictment."Three other Cincinnati men were charged as co-conspirators.Mathews was initially arrested and charged with aggravated riot and assault on July 30. He posted a $100,000 bond and was released from jail.He and five others were later charged with three counts of felonious assault, three counts of assault and two counts of aggravated rioting for their alleged participation in the assault that occurred at around 3 a.m. outside LoVe, a nightclub in the downtown business district of Cincinnati.VIDEO OF RACIAL SLUR YELLED DURING THE BRUTAL CINCINNATI BEATDOWN EMERGESUpon his arraignment for the new charges on Aug. 14, Mathews' bond was kept at $100,000.His lawyer, Brandon Fox, declined to comment.He becomes the second of eight people who have been arrested in connection with the beating to be charged federally. In both cases, the federal charges are unrelated to the alleged assault.On Aug. 13, Montianez Merriweather, 34, was charged with illegally possessing a firearm as a previously convicted felon.The latest person charged in the incident was one of the victims, 45-year-old Alex Tchervinski. He can be seen slapping one of the perpetrators in the viral video, and has been charged with disorderly conduct.Tchervinski's lawyer, Douglas Brannon, said his client was allegedly hit in the head 28 times and robbed during the attack, while trying to protect his girlfriend and another friend during the melee."What this has done, it has made Alex a victim now for the second time by bringing criminal charges against him," Brannon told Fox News Digital. "What actually occurred is Alex was hit multiple times, before he slapped back in an attempt to try and defend himself and back off this group of thugs."

    Sinaloa cartel co-founder 'will die in a US federal prison where he belongs' after guilty plea, says AG Bondi
    Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada co-founder of the Sinaloa Cartel pleaded guilty Monday to leading a criminal enterprise and racketeering.U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi announced the plea in Brooklyn, saying Zambada confessed to a lifetime of crime with the Sinaloa Cartel, labeled a foreign terrorist organization."Thanks to the relentless work of our prosecutors and our federal agents, El Mayo will spend the rest of his life behind bars. He will die in a U.S. federal prison where he belongs," Bondi said. "His guilty plea brings us one step closer to achieving our goal of the elimination of the drug cartels and the transnational criminal organizations throughout this world that are flooding our country with drugs and human traffickers and homicides."Over the past three decades, Zambada and his accomplices made billions of dollars by importing poisonous drugs like fentanyl into the U.S., Bondi noted. Zambada founded the Sinaloa Cartel alongside Joaqun "El Chapo" Guzmn.MEXICO TO EXTRADITE 26 TOP CARTEL LEADERS TO US IN TRUMP ADMINISTRATION DEALWhile the cartel initially built their businesses through cocaine, it turned to heroin and fentanyl under Zambadas leadership."They purchased fentanyl precursor chemicals from China. They made the drug in Mexico and flooded it into our communities, killing our kids," Bondi said. "El Mayo also ensured that the Sinaloa Cartel operated and protected its drug trafficking business by relying on extreme violence."For instance, she explained the cartel used military-grade weapons and directed hitmen to kill their adversaries. The cartel also committed "gruesome" assassinations, kidnappings and horrible crimes to maintain discipline within the organization, she added.DOJ CHARGES FIVE ALLEGED MEXICAN CARTEL LEADERS, TOUTS EXTRAORDINARY POLICEWORK THAT LED TO INDICTMENTSZambada is also accused of paying bribes to government officials to control corrupt officials and officers, who in turn protected his workers and drug shipments as they traveled from Mexico to the U.S."El Mayos crimes have been so prolific that in the past two decades, he's been indicted in no fewer than 16 federal courts across our country, 16 from Western District of Texas to Chicago to here in the Eastern District of New York. He escaped justice for decades," Bondi said. "But under President Trump's leadership, he has finally been brought to justice."The Department of Justice (DOJ) said Zambada had previously been charged by indictments filed in the Eastern District of New York, the Western District of Texas, the District of Columbia, the Northern District of Illinois, the Southern District of California and the Central District of California.WAR ON CARTELS YIELDS RESULTS AS 'EL CHAPO' HEIR CONFESSES TO RUNNING VIOLENT DRUG EMPIREUnder the plea agreement, Zambada agreed to the transfer of the Western District of Texas indictment to the Eastern District of New York for plea and sentencing. With that agreement, he is also being held accountable in the Eastern District of New York for the crimes in both indictments. All other indictments will be dismissed when Zambada is sentenced on Jan. 13, 2026.He faces a mandatory minimum term of life in prison for leading a continuing criminal enterprise and a maximum sentence of life in prison for racketeering.He also agreed to a $15 billion forfeiture at sentencing.Sought by American law enforcement for more than two decades, Zambada has been in U.S. custody since July 25, when he landed in a private plane at an airport outside El Paso in the company of another fugitive cartel leader, Joaqun Guzmn Lpez, according to federal authorities.Zambada later said in a letter that he was forcibly kidnapped in Mexico and brought to the U.S. by Guzmn Lpez, one of El Chapos sons.

    Federal judge strikes down Minnesota law barring religious colleges from state program
    A federal judge struck down a Minnesota law that barred religious colleges from a state program, ruling it unconstitutional.In 2023, state legislators passed an amendment to the state's Postsecondary Enrollment Options (PSEO) Act that changed who was eligible to participate in the program. Institutions that required students to sign a statement of faith, or that based admissions on "a students race, creed, ethnicity, disability, gender, or sexual orientation or religious beliefs or affiliations," were barred from the program under the law change. The 40-year-old state program lets high school students take college classes tuition-free at public or private institutions.Two Christian colleges, Crown College and the University of Northwestern in St. Paul, were the only schools directly affected by the law. Two Christian families who wanted to use PSEO funds to send their children to the two Christian colleges challenged the law in federal court.In the ruling Friday, U.S. District Judge Nancy Brasel sided with the parents and schools, ruling that Minnesotas law violated the First Amendment and the Freedom of Conscience Clause of the Minnesota Constitution.CHRISTIAN COLLEGES SUE AFTER BEING SNUBBED FROM MINNESOTA'S DUAL ENROLLMENT PROGRAM"In sum, the Faith Statement Ban is unconstitutional on its face under the Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment of the United States Constitution because it burdens religious exercise, is not neutral and generally applicable, and is not narrowly tailored to achieve MDEs compelling interest," the judge wrote.Brasel called the faith statement ban "inseverable from the Nondiscrimination Requirement," saying the amendment "must be stricken in its entirety."According to the Associated Press, the Minnesota Department of Education has tried to ban colleges with a faith statement since 2019. It succeeded in 2023 when Democrats gained control of both houses of the state legislature.Parents who sued praised the decision.FEDERAL JUDGE ORDERS OAKLAND SCHOOLS TO ALLOW AFTER-SCHOOL CHRISTIAN CLUBS EQUAL ACCESS"We raise our children to put their faith at the center of their lives. Minnesota tried to take that right away from us by denying kids like ours the opportunity to attend schools that reflect their faith," Mark and Melinda Loe said in a statement. "We are grateful for this ruling, which protects students across the state and the schools they want to attend."Becket, the legal group which brought the case, called the decision a victory for families statewide."Minnesota tried to cut off educational opportunities to thousands of high schoolers simply for their faith. Thats not just unlawful its shameful. This ruling is a win for families who wont be strong-armed into abandoning their beliefs, and a sharp warning to politicians who target them," Diana Thomson, senior counsel at Becket, said in a statement.CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTUREThe Minnesota Department of Education did not immediately return Fox News Digitals request for comment.After the lawsuit was filed, both sides agreed to a court order temporarily blocking enforcement of the law while the case was ongoing.At a hearing in December, the Minnesota Department of Education argued that the law rightly protects high school students who "are not Christian, straight and cisgender," the Associated Press reported.

Its not the first time that man has beaten up women, and its not the first time that the other guy decided to take a swing at my face with a six-inch blade.""If they could do this to the people of Germany and then just get released 12 hours later, even less at this point, where is the law? Where is the structure?" he asked.

    US Open photographer claims he's 'totally innocent' after being at center of player's meltdown
    The photographer at the center of a tennis stars meltdown at the 2025 U.S. Open says he is a "victim and totally innocent" as his credential for the tournament has been revoked.Selcuk Acar, a freelance journalist and photojournalist, spoke with the Daily Mail after causing Daniil Medvedev to lose it on the court at Louis Armstrong Stadium while facing Benjamin Bonzi in the first round on Sunday night.An incident occurred during the third set when Acar stepped onto the court with Bonzi serving. Bonzi missed the first serve, but the match was paused as Acar was entering the court in between attempts.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMChair umpire Greg Allensworth gave Bonzi another first serve, which at that point, was for match point against the 13th-seeded Medvedev.Medvedev lost it on Allensworth, and a nearly seven-minute delay ensued with both men going back and forth on the court.TENNIS STAR DANIIL MEDVEDEV MELTS DOWN AT US OPEN IN MIDST OF UPSET LOSS"This incident has already turned into a lynching, and although Im innocent, Ive suffered greatly," Acar told the outlet. "If theres a camera there, if its monitored, it will show that I returned to the official twice and didnt enter."Acar added that a security official told him, "The match is stopped," before he entered onto the court. He also said he has covered numerous high-profile events over his career, including Presidential visits to Europe and NATO summits. Acar also claimed to have done work at the FIFA World Cup."Im not a photojournalist that can [make] such a mistake," he said.Nonetheless, the United States Tennis Association revoked Acars credential for the tournament."The photographer had been instructed to stay in place by US Open security," they said in a statement, per The New York Post."The photographer disregarded these instructions and improperly entered the court between serves on match point. The Chair Umpire also instructed the photographer to immediately sit down, and these instructions were also disregarded. The photographers credential was revoked for the 2025 US Open."Meanwhile, Medvedev was going ballistic on Allensworth, and tried to get the crowd involved as well. With his arms raised in the air, he was encouraging them to boo."He wants to go home guys," Medvedev was heard saying. "He doesnt like to be here. He gets paid by the match, not by the hour."JANNIK SINNER RETIRES FROM CINCINNATI OPEN FINAL AGAINST CARLOS ALCARAZ, STUNS CROWD AFTER JUST 5 GAMESAfter the match, Medvedev said that it wasnt Acars situation that bothered him, but rather the decision to re-do Bonzis first serve."I was not upset with the photographer. I was upset with the decision," Medvedev said. "The delay from the photographer was probably four seconds and a half. Im not sure its enough for a (first) serve."Bonzi, on the other hand, thought his opponent crossed the line."I mean, the rule is the rule. The guy went on the court between two serves," Bonzi said. "I mean, its not my call to say first serve. And I think, yes, Daniil started it, and he put oil on the fire."While Medvedev was able to salvage the third set, and the fourth, Bonzi was able to put him away in the fifth set to secure the massive upset of the Russian veteran.The Frenchman won the match 6-3, 7-5, 6-7 (5), 0-6, 6-4 over Medvedev to move on to the second round, where hell face American Marcos Giron.Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X, and subscribe tothe Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
