EXCLUSIVE Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., tore into Special Counsel Jack Smith, accusing him of "spying on political opponents" during the Jan. 6 probe and calling the alleged surveillance "an abuse of power beyond Watergate."The FBI, working under Smiths direction, obtained call logs and metadata tied to nearly a dozen GOP senators, including Hawley, as part of its investigation into the Capitol riot, Fox News reported. The tracking involved call records and timestamps, not the content of the conversations.Hawley told Fox News Digital on Monday that the newly released documents suggest that Bidens administration was "spying on the presidents political opponents," which he called "a profound violation of the separation of powers."He said the activity fits what he views as part of a broader pattern of executive overreach under Biden, citing alleged surveillance of Catholic churches, parents at school board meetings and social media censorship.HAWLEY REBUKES DEMOCRATS' HEATED RHETORIC AFTER ATTACKS ON ICE, BORDER PATROL FACILITIES: 'KNOCK IT OFF'"The truth comes out. Bidens Stasi who claimed to be saving our sacred democracy in fact worked overtime to destroy it all for power. They spied on Catholic churches, prosecuted pro-lifers, deployed the FBI against parents at school board meetings and tried to tap the phones of their political enemies. Including mine," Hawley wrote on X."This is an abuse of power beyond Watergate, beyond J. Edgar Hoover, one that directly strikes at the Constitution, the separation of powers, and the First Amendment," he continued. "We need a full investigation of all involved: who knew about it, who ordered it, and who approved it. Anyone and everyone who violated the law must be prosecuted. The way to save the country is to restore the rule of law."Hawley said he was targeted because he is a conservative Republican who vocally opposed Biden and "his lawlessness."JACK SMITH TRACKED PRIVATE COMMUNICATIONS, CALLS OF NEARLY A DOZEN GOP SENATORS DURING J6 PROBE, FBI SAYS"Its obviously totally partisan," the senator said, adding that hes proud to have called out what he described as the abuse of power by the FBI. He also said the alleged conduct was "dangerous, very, very dangerous" for the country.Hawley said the scope of the alleged surveillance was even greater than Watergate."This is worse than Watergate," he said, arguing that Biden "activated the entire government to go after anybody who dared to oppose him." He accused the administration of using agencies such as the FBI, DOJ and DHS to silence critics and monitor private citizens.EX-TRUMP PROSECUTOR JACK SMITH UNDER INVESTIGATION BY GOVERNMENT WATCHDOG OFFICE OF SPECIAL COUNSELHawley called for a full Justice Department investigation and said appointing a special counsel "who will devote their full attention to it" would be appropriate."Weve got to have a total accountability, total transparency and a full accounting of everybody who was involved in this everybody who knew about it, signed off on it, and had any part in it, and I just cant imagine that this is legal and anybody who committed legal violations needs to be prosecuted," he said.Hawley has framed the controversy as a test of constitutional limits, saying the government must be held accountable when power is used to pursue political opponents instead of upholding the rule of law.Fox News Digitals Brooke Singman contributed to this report.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents have arrested a slew of Chicagos "worst-of-the-worst" offenders, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced Monday.The statement came as violence and unrest engulfed parts of the city which is suffering from mounting street violence and protests against federal operations.The string of arrests, DHS said, targeted violent gang members, child abusers, and drug traffickers as part of Operation Midway Blitz, an ongoing crackdown on criminal illegal immigrants across Illinois.DHS BLITZES CHICAGOLAND, NETTING MANY ARRESTS AS NOEM ONSITE FOR IMMIGRATION CRACKDOWNThe DHS statement, titled "Despite Multiple Vehicle Attacks by Domestic Terrorists, DHS Law Enforcement Arrests Worst of Worst" listed several suspects taken into custody.Among them was Wilmer Alexander Gonzalez Garaban, an alleged member of Venezuelas Tren de Aragua gang with a criminal history of theft and resisting an officer.Ricardo Gervasio-Gervasio was included as a repeat offender convicted of drug crimes and DUI.Jorge Mario Ramirez-Lopez, a criminal illegal immigrant from Guatemala, was also listed and has a conviction for larceny.Ricardo Gervasio-Gervasio, from Mexico, who has convictions for cocaine possession, driving under the influence of liquor and dangerous drugs was also referenced.Officials cited other individuals who were apprehended for assault, fraud, illegal reentry, and aggravated assault.HUNDREDS OF FEDERAL AGENTS IN CHICAGO CARRY OUT OPERATION TARGETING SUSPECTED TREN DE ARAGUA GANG MEMBERSSecretary Kristi Noem praised agents and officers' persistence in the statement and said their efforts were despite violent resistance."We will not let violence by domestic terrorists and lawless rioters in Chicago slow us down from fulfilling the Presidents mandate to arrest the worst of the worst," Noem declared.DHS claims that Operation Midway Blitz, launched in early September, has already led to over 1,000 arrests statewide, representing a major escalation in federal enforcement.One of the most dramatic incidents occurred on October 4 in Chicagos Brighton Park neighborhood, where agents were reportedly surrounded by several vehicles, one of which rammed a federal car.ICE ARRESTS 'PEDOPHILES, RAPISTS, ABUSERS' IN CHICAGO SANCTUARY CITY CRACKDOWN OPERATIONIn the chaos, agents opened fire, striking a driver who was hospitalized and later charged.In a separate case in Franklin Park, ICE agents shot and killed Silverio Villegas-Gonzalez, who authorities said attempted to flee and dragged an officer during a vehicle stop.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPThe killing sparked fresh outrage and protests, with activists questioning the proportionality of the agents actions.

Former CNN reporter Amy La Porte declared that Portland, Oregon, was a "pilot program for normalizing domestic militarization" in an opinion piece for The Seattle Times on Friday."Now, Portland is no longer simply my home a city of roses, food carts and rain-slicked bike lanes it is a pilot program for normalizing domestic militarization. Helicopters drone above leafy neighborhoods, and armored vehicles idle near federal buildings as a small group of protesters gather outside an Immigration and Customs Enforcementfacility. Portland has begun to resemble a domestic occupation and the front line of a war the president insists is already underway, even if, for now, only figuratively," La Porte wrote in an opinion piece titled, "I covered dictatorships for CNN. Portland looks eerily familiar."President Donald Trump announced in late September that he had directed Secretary of War Pete Hegseth to deploy troops to "war-ravaged Portland" to protect against "Antifa and other domestic terrorists" and authorized "full force, if necessary." A federal judge blocked the president's efforts to deploy National Guard troops into Portland in a late-night decision on Sunday.La Porte suggested Trump was following the same "script" as Russia's Vladimir Putin, Turkey's Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Brazil's Jair Bolsonaro.NATIONAL GUARD NOW IN PLACE FOR OREGON AMID CHAOS, DEATH AND DESTRUCTION: TRUMP"Some will argue Americas institutions are too strong to succumb. But Hungarys Viktor Orban hollowed out his within a decade, and former Venezuelan President Hugo Chvez made light work of abolishing presidential term limits, and reconstituting the Supreme Court until loyalty, not law, governed," she continued.La Porte also referenced late-night host Jimmy Kimmel's brief suspension and called it "anything but benign." She added, "it should terrify us."Kimmel was suspended by Disney after remarks he made about Charlie Kirk's alleged shooter, but his show returned days later."As a journalist, and a CNN fake news alumnus no less, I do not treat threats as abstractions. I keep my passport within reach and my pen ready, because the history of authoritarianism shows that those who speak and protest seldom receive safe harbor. Democratic backsliding is not a cliff. It is a staircase. Each step feels survivable until the floor disappears," La Porte continued.JUSTICE DEPARTMENT PROBES PORTLAND POLICE BUREAU AFTER TRUMP ADMINISTRATION BIAS CLAIMSShe added that, "for now," her life in Portland feels ordinary, but said "the citys quotidian charm feels fragile under a gathering storm.""Today it is Portland. Tomorrow it could be Seattle or Atlanta. Each federal incursion tearing fissures in the bedrock of democracy. What is certain is that authoritarianism crumbles when met with collective defiance. We must assemble, peacefully, but forcefully, online, in courthouses and in the streets, and we must insist that this republic will tolerate no kings," she wrote.Portland's ICE facility has endured more than 100 straight nights of violence, according to Camila Wamsley, director of Portlands ICE office.She added that nightly protests have escalated beyond chants and signs, with bottle rockets striking the ICE building, rocks shattering windows, lasers targeting officers eyes and barricades blocking vehicles.CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTURE"Its frustrating for us to watch people be attacked on the street and know that we dont have the authority to be able to really step in unless theres some nexus to federal law," Wamsley said.Fox News' Greg Wehner and Bill Melugin contributed to this report.

Top White House aide Stephen Miller laughed off what he called a "dumb question" about alleged racial profiling in immigration raids during a testy CNN interview on Monday.Miller spoke with host Boris Sanchez about President Donald Trumps plan to send National Guard troops to Illinois to protect U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facilities.Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker criticized the decision, calling it an "invasion" by the Trump administration and accusing ICE agents of harassing people based solely on their race.STEPHEN MILLER BATTLES JAKE TAPPER ON 'FALSE' MEDIA NARRATIVE ABOUT FEDERAL AID FREEZE"[I]s it the case that, as Pritzker frames it, you are profiling Brown people, that this immigration crackdown is designed to go after people of color?" Sanchez asked."Oh, what a dumb question," Miller laughed. "The illegal aliens who are here are taking jobs away from Blacks. Theyre taking jobs away from Whites. Theyre taking jobs away from Latinos. Theyre taking their health benefits away. Theyre taking their school slots away. And of course, in many cases, theyre committing heinous crimes. We cannot have a system of law in this country that privileges illegal aliens over American citizens. And thats what theyre doing. You know it, and I know it.""So thats not exactly a no, Stephen," Sanchez responded. "Can you just unequivocally state that immigration policies""I said it was a dumb question." Miller interrupted. "OK, no, and it was a dumb question."STEPHEN MILLER CALLS OUT WH PRESS FOR IGNORING BIDEN'S DECLINE, GIVES 'CIVICS LESSON' ON PRESIDENTIAL POWERElsewhere in the interview, Sanchez took issue with Miller describing ICE protesters as "terrorists.""Isn't that hyperbolic to call them terrorists?" Sanchez asked."No. If anything, I'm understating the severity of the situation," Miller said. "What issue was more central in 2024 than turning back the border invasion? And since the day we came in, ICE officers have been subjected to a nonstop campaign of physical violence and harassment every single day, and outside the Portland field office, in particular, every night."He added, "They come. They assemble. They fight. They try to impede movement. They physically attack. For what purpose? Because we had an election, Boris. We had one. What's the purpose? To use actual physical violence to change the result of the election. To say you cannot turn back the border invasion. Do you have any idea how many resources we have had to redesignate to deal with these street terrorists?"TRUMP, OFFICIALS HAVE TENSE EXCHANGE WITH CNN REPORTER OVER DEPORTATION OF EL SALVADORAN NATIONALSanchez also asked Miller whether there were concerns over a future Democratic president sending National Guard troops to red states over "what amounts to a demonstration that gets rowdy.""They're posting pictures of their kids because it's a demonstration." Miller responded sarcastically.

LOS ANGELES Denise Richards broke down in tears in the courtroom Monday as she recalled the alleged abuse she endured at the hands of her estranged husband, Aaron Phypers.The "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star who was granted a temporary restraining order against Phypers on July 17 amid their ongoing divorce took the stand to testify against her estranged husband.Dressed in blue leather, a composed Richards described multiple allegations of physical and emotional abuse as she detailed terrifying incidents that left the mom-of-three fearful for her life.At one point during the hearing, Richards pleaded for a tissue and began crying while recalling a particularly abusive event in July.Richards claimed Phypers got "very volatile" with her at the Four Seasons hotel just hours after the reality TV star had undergone multiple cosmetic surgeries including a face lift.DENISE RICHARDS' ESTRANGED HUSBAND FIRES BACK AT VIOLENT ABUSE ALLEGATIONSPhypers allegedly tried to search through Richards' devices while she was sleeping. He allegedly hit her face and damaged a drain in the process."That is when I really, really knew that our marriage was over because there's been physical abuse, but it kept getting worse and worse," Richards testified. "But the fact that he did that to me five hours after coming out of a seven-hour surgery made me feel a lot of things. Scared and vulnerable. I couldn't walk by myself."DENISE RICHARDS' EX CHARLIE SHEEN, BRANDI GLANVILLE TO TESTIFY IN DIVORCE DRAMA: WHAT DO THEY KNOWRichards continued, "And the person I looked to as my husband to protect me, wasn't anymore. That's when I really, really knew there wasn't going back. To do that to your wife coming out of surgery?""I felt broken and defeated and so alone and just so vulnerable because I just had an extensive surgery. Him knowing the body and wellness and working on people ... and to do that to your wife?"The "Wild Things" star recalled another incident of abuse earlier in the year."[Aaron] started to argue with me when I brought up asking him when his parents and family were going to move out of the house," Richards said of Phypers, whose family moved into their shared home months prior. "I was told every month that they were leaving. When I started to bring it up, he got very angry with me and volatile. He got very close to me and I had just recovered from a full face lift and I still had stitches by my ears."Richards described one instance in which Phypers allegedly grabbed her by her arms while she was recovering from her surgeries."He would yell and call me names. Once he found out I was texting another man, he would flip it and call me a cheating w---- and a c--- and a lying b---- and he would make it about that. And then he would calm down, and we would be in separate rooms, and he would come back at me and start arguing again.""He grabbed my arms," she claimed. "I was three weeks out of a breast augmentation, lipo and the face lift. I was feeling extremely vulnerable and in pain. I asked him to please stay at the other house with his family. I needed to rest and heal and couldn't have him around me like that."After describing her 5-foot, four-inch small stature in comparison to Phypers' six-foot frame, Richards remembered feeling her body feeling "extra sensitive" to pain following a grueling surgical process."The first surgery was 7.5 hours, a very complicated one. The other was 6 hours. I was in so much pain as it was, and he knew that and for him to grab me and be so forceful, it caused a lot of pain for me," she claimed.Recalling an incident from April, Richards said she woke up to Phypers allegedly squeezing her head.DENISE RICHARDS ADMITS NASTY SPLIT IS HEARTBREAKING: NEVER THOUGHT ID GET DIVORCED AGAIN'"In April, we had gotten back from a work trip. We were lying on the couch, and he wanted to watch a show and stream it from my phone, so we were watching a TV show and I fell asleep on the couch," she recalled. "I woke up to him squeezing my head with his hands. My heart started beating so fast. He said, You f---ing b----, I just saw youve been talking to Rudy.' I was shocked because my phone was opened to stream, he was able to get in and see my messages.""I thought I had deleted them, but I hadn't," she said. "He started to get louder, and I told him to be quiet and that the girls are sleeping upstairs," she added.Richards said the alleged altercations made her feel extremely "vulnerable and scared.""It made me feel sad. It made me feel intimated by him hes very big. Just very vulnerable."Phypers filed for divorce from Richards on July 7. He cited irreconcilable differences and is seeking spousal support from the "Real Housewives" star.A judge granted Richards' request for a temporary restraining order against Phypers amid their ongoing divorce on July 17."Throughout our relationship, Aaron would frequently violently choke me, violently squeeze my head with both hands, tightly squeeze my arms, violently slap me in my face and head, aggressively slam my head into the bathroom towel rack, threaten to kill me, hold me down with his knee on my back to the point where I would have to plead with him to get off me so that he would not kill me and hack into my laptop and phone and download all of my text messages," Richards claimed in the documents, filed on July 16."Aaron regularly threatened to break my jaw and would cry, beg me to stay, and promise to get help none of which ever happened. Aaron has caused me at least three concussions.""Until now, I have been afraid to report Aaron to the police or file for a restraining order because he has repeatedly threatened to kill himself and me if I reported him to the police, among his other threats of harm to me and himself if he is reported for his abuse to anyone," Richards continued.Additionally, said Richards, Phypers "threatened that I would disappear if I called the police."Phypers denied all allegations of mental or physical abuse in a statement at the time.LIKE WHAT YOURE READING?
