    Federal authorities charge pair who allegedly helped ICE facility attacker escape after shooting
    Federal authorities have charged two individuals in connection with a targeted attack on a Texas ICE detention facility earlier this month that left one officer injured as the final suspect remains on the run.John Phillip Thomas and Lynette Read Sharp are charged with alleged accessory after the fact in the July 4 shooting at the Prairieland Detention Center in Alvarado, according to court documents."[Sharp and Thomas] were involved in Signal Chats, which show reconnaissance," Nancy Larson, the acting U.S. Attorney, told "Fox and Friends" on Tuesday, adding the pair are accused of "planning a Google map [and] the location of nearby police departments."Authorities are still searching for alleged attacker Benjamin Hanil Song. Song, 32, is wanted for his involvement in what officials say was an organized attack on ICE officials by a group of 10 to 12 individuals.MANHUNT FOR ICE FACILITY ATTACK SUSPECT REACHES 10 DAYS WITH REWARD MONEY ON THE LINEFour days after the attack, authorities executed a search warrant at Thomas home in Dallas, with Thomas initially denying knowing Song before admitting the pair had been friends since 2022 and previously lived together from September 2024 to late June 2025, according to court documents.Thomas allegedly told investigators he was housesitting for a friend on the day of the attack and met with three individuals the following day, later telling officials the group discussed the shooting and their plans to help Song flee the area. Court documents state Thomas then admitted to transporting Song to a separate home in the area.FBI SEEKING MILITARY VET SUSPECTED IN ICE AMBUSH AT TEXAS DETENTION FACILITYUpon searching Thomas vehicle, officers discovered a loaded 30-round AR-15 magazine and a Walmart receipt for clothing in Songs size dated July 6, according to federal prosecutors.Thomas allegedly told authorities he purchased the clothing for Song.The documents also reveal Thomas was a member of two separate Signal Chat groups that also included Song, with Thomas allegedly removing Song from one of the chats the morning after the shooting.MORE DETAILS REVEALED ON SUSPECTS IN INDEPENDENCE DAY ICE ATTACK IN TEXASThe group chats were also allegedly used by Sharp, in which she is accused of discussing the groups plans to partake in an operation at the Prairieland Detention Center, but divulged that she would not be able to attend due to "family problems" and offered to monitor the chat for the group.The court documents also reveal Sharp allegedly used the online chat to help arrange Songs transport from Thomas to another unnamed individual.Authorities have arrested 14 people for their alleged connections to the attack, while Song remains at large.Fox News Digital was unable to immediately locate attorneys representing Thomas and Sharp.SUSPECT WANTED IN ANTI-ICE TEXAS AMBUSH PREVIOUSLY SUED IN PAST PROTEST INCIDENT"We believe he is somewhere in the Dallas-Fort Worth area but have expanded our publicity efforts to neighboring states just in case," the FBI Dallas Field Office told Fox News Digital on Monday.Song is accused of firing two AR-15-style rifles at a pair of correctional officers and an Alvarado police officer, according to a criminal complaint. He faces three counts of attempted murder of a federal officer and three counts of discharging a firearm in furtherance of a crime of violence.The FBI did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.The FBI is offering a $25,000 reward for information leading to Songs arrest and conviction, with authorities noting the former U.S. Marine Corps reservist should be considered armed and dangerous."These latest two charges show the walls are closing in on [Song]," Larson said, adding, "he is running out of people to go to."Fox News Digitals Stephen Sorace contributed to this report.

    Former NPR host says Obama is 'very scold-y these days,' no longer resonates with base
    Former President Barack Obamas recent call for Democrats to "toughen up" sparked a conversation on Monday among CNN pundits about his changing importance to the party. One panelist deemed the comments a "pretty scold-y" lecture from Obama.A panel on CNNs "The Arena with Kasie Hunt" reacted to Obamas comments about Democratic Party disarray, with CNN contributor and former NPR host Lulu Garcia-Navarro arguing that Obamas tone and status in the party have changed dramatically since his time as president."Ill also say from having read that speech that he gave, he was pretty scold-y. He is very scold-y these days. And he talked a lot about how people are not stepping up and doing their part, and how people have been folding and not really standing up tall. And I just don't think that that goes down very well anymore," she said."We saw that in the run-up to the election, where he was sort of telling Black men that they needed in solidarity to vote for a Black woman, and I think that that kind of scold-y Obama really doesn't play to the Democratic base anymore," Garcia-Navarro added in the clip flagged by The Daily Caller.OBAMA SWIPES AT AFFLUENT LIBERALS DURING RARE PUBLIC REMARKS, SAYS 'ALL OF US ARE GOING TO BE TESTED'As the Democratic Party continues to struggle to chart a new course forward, the 44th president offered a tough love message to the members of his party at a fundraiser on Friday on how to find their way out of the political wilderness."I think its going to require a little bit less navel-gazing and a little less whining and being in fetal positions," Obama said during the private event in New Jersey, "and its going to require Democrats to just toughen up."He reportedly went on to tell Democrats to "stop looking for the messiah" and instead rally around the "great candidates running races right now.""Dont tell me youre a Democrat, but youre kind of disappointed right now, so youre not doing anything. No, now is exactly the time that you get in there and do something," Obama added.On Monday, CNN anchor Kasie Hunt noted the irony that Obama "was often treated" like a political messiah himself.CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTUREDemocratic strategist and former Obama adviser David Axelrod weighed in as well during the panel discussion."I half agree," he said. "I applaud those people, those law firms who had the courage to stand up, universities that are standing up to protect academic freedom. I also am aware that there are responsibilities to the institutions that people are leading that cause those to be difficult questions."CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPAxelrod continued, "So it's not as easy as one might say. That said, there may have been people in that room last night who were there to support the Democratic Party, but had questions about whether they wanted to stick their own neck out, if they were part of a big law firm and so on. And for them, maybe the message was appropriate."

    Trump Department of Labor to absorb some Education Department responsibilities
    FIRST ON FOX The Department of Labor "will take on a greater role" in administering some of the Department of Educations workforce programs as part of President Donald Trumps broader effort to eliminate the Department of Education.A Department of Education memo, first obtained by Fox News Digital, details how the department will implement a "workforce development partnership" to provide a coordinated "federal education and workforce system."The workforce development partnership stems from the Department of Education signing an Interagency Agreement (IAA) with the Department of Labor in May. The IAA is a tool used by government agencies to share resources, collaborate, and streamline services. However, the move was thwarted the next day in McMahon v. New York when a Massachusetts district judge granted a preliminary injunction to the plaintiffs, pausing the IAA andreinstating approximately 1,400 employees at the Department of Education.The Supreme Court on Mondayruled to temporarily pause the lower courts order,allowing the Department of Education to resume its use of the IAA and proceedwith firing hundreds of employees.SUPREME COURT RULES ON EDUCATION DEPARTMENT CUTTING HALF ITS STAFFThe Department of Labor will take on a growing role in executing the day-to-day administration of the adult education and family literacy programs and Opportunity Act and career and technical education programs.While the Department of Labor manages these workforce programs, the Department of Education maintains all statutory responsibilities as well as oversight of these programs. The purpose of this move is to streamline services for states and grantees.The Department of Education said the collaboration "marks a major step in shifting management of select ED programs to partner agencies."While the Department of Labor already administers the majority of workforce programs, U.S. Secretary of Education Linda McMahon said"the current structure with various federal agencies each managing pieces of the federal workforce portfolio is inefficient and duplicative.""Support from the Department of Labor in administering the Department of Educations workforce programs is a commonsense step in streamlining these programs to better serve students, families, and educators," McMahon added.The Department of Education stated that the partnership comes amid a critical talent shortage, considering over one out of 10 youths between 16 and 24 are not working or in school. Furthermore, there are only two replacements for every five retirements in the skilled trades. The Trump administration touts that the partnership will help their effort in "making America skilled again."TRUMP ADMIN ASKS SUPREME COURT TO LIFT INJUNCTION BLOCKING DISMANTLING OF EDUCATION DEPARTMENT"Our bloated federal bureaucracy has made it increasingly difficult to administer workforce development programs effectively, and our students and workers have been left behind as a result. Under President Trumps leadership, we are restructuring to meet the needs of our workforce," said U.S. Secretary of Labor Lori Chavez-DeRemer.Throughout the 2024 campaign, Trump promised to eliminate the Department of Education and in March signed an executive order directing his administration to start disbanding the department.

He found agents from Homeland Security Investigations and ICE Enforcement Removal Operations instead of the victim when he went to meet, authorities said.Yan, whom ICE dubbed a "scam artist and illegal alien," allegedly tried to swindle an elderly Wyoming County couple for $20,000 -- their life savings.HIGH-RISK ICE FLIGHT DEPORTS OVER 100 ILLEGAL ALIENS, INCLUDING CONVICTED FELONS, TO CHINABoth are being held without bond pending removal."This HSI Massena investigation underscores HSIs commitment to disrupting and dismantling transnational criminal organizations and groups intent on exploiting our vulnerable communities," said HSI Buffalo Special Agent in Charge Erin Keegan. "We will never stand idly by while bad actors in this case, illegally present Chinese nationals target innocent New Yorkers for their own selfish gain,"A third Chinese suspect, Hui Chen, was arrested on similar charges in October 2024 and is in custody pending deportation, authorities said.Border officials told Fox News last year that the fastest growing group of illegal migrants crossing the southern border was coming from China.Since taking office in January, President Donald Trump has led a massive removal campaign targeting criminal aliens across the country.

    John Brennan emerged as prominent anti-Trump media figure long before latest DOJ probe into Russiagate origins
    Former CIA director John Brennan, who is being investigated over his handling of the 2016 Russia probe, played a key role in pushing Russiagate and other anti-Trump conspiracies as an MSNBC contributor.Justice Department sources toldFox News Digitalon July 8 that current CIA Director John Ratcliffe referred evidence of wrongdoing from Brennan along with former FBI Director James Comey to current FBI Director Kash Patel for potential prosecution, citing Brennans handling of the 2017 Russia collusion investigation as an example.Brennan was appointed by President Obama and served as the director of the CIA from March 2013 until President Trump took office in 2017. Brennans final year on the job was a busy one, as he helped launch the "Crossfire Hurricane" investigation into the Trump campaigns alleged ties to Russia during the 2016 election cycle.TRUMP SAYS BRENNAN, COMEY 'CROOKED AS HELL' AMID FBI PROBE, MAY HAVE TO 'PAY THE PRICE'Brennan made notable appearances on both CNN and MSNBC throughout 2017 until he was announced as an MSNBC and NBC News paid contributor in March 2018. He also penned an August 2018 New York Times op-ed that mirrored much of his cable news rhetoric.Brennans piece, "President Trumps Claims of No Collusion Are Hogwash," insisted a criminal conspiracy was a legitimate possibility."The only questions that remain are whether the collusion that took place constituted criminally liable conspiracy, whether obstruction of justice occurred to cover up any collusion or conspiracy, and how many members of Trump Incorporated attempted to defraud the government by laundering and concealing the movement of money into their pockets," Brennan wrote.The investigation was taken over by Special Counsel Robert Mueller, who ultimately concluded in March 2019 that there was insufficient evidence of a criminal conspiracy between Trump's 2016 presidential campaign and Russia.Brennan then appeared on MSNBC to declare, "I don't know if I received bad information, but I suspected there was more [evidence of collusion] than there actually was."FBI LAUNCHES CRIMINAL INVESTIGATIONS OF JOHN BRENNAN, JAMES COMEY: DOJ SOURCESAccording to Brennan's own notes, cited in Special Counsel John Durham's report on the origins of the FBI's Russiagate investigation, he briefed Obama and other national security officials on intel that "alleged approval byHillary Clintonon July 26, 2016 of a proposal from one of her foreign policy advisors to vilify Donald Trump by stirring up a scandal claiming interference by Russian security services."He then briefed Comey about his meeting with Obama the day prior but told investigators he did not think he presented the intelligence regarding what Durham dubbed the "Clinton Plan" to the FBI director.Days later, he met with Obama, then-Vice President Joe Biden and other top officials, including then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch, briefing them all about the "Clinton Plan intelligence" among other material pertaining to Russian interference in the 2016 election.Despite his public acknowledgments in 2019 and his private knowledge of Clinton's scheme during the 2016 election, Brennan regularly fueled the legitimacy of Russiagate as the Mueller investigation was ongoing.In March 2018, after Trump accused the Obama administration of starting an investigation into his campaign "with zero proof of wrongdoing" before the election, suggesting it was to help Clinton win, Brennan told him his social media post was "a great example of your paranoia, constant misrepresentation of the facts, and increased anxiety and panic (rightly so) about the Mueller investigation."Days later, Brennan suggested Trump's congenial relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin was because Russia "may have things that they could expose and reveal" about him.Brennan called Trump's "SpyGate" accusations a "mischaracterization and dishonesty" in May 2018.LISA BOOTHE POINTS TO 'CLEAR EXAMPLE' OF COMEY, BRENNAN'S 'COLLUSION AND CORRUPTION'Brennan also threw around the term "treason," which allowed mainstream journalists and pundits to echo the claim on a regular basis under the guise that it came from the intelligence community."That was Brennan who said it, the former CIA director; it wasnt the media it was the former CIA director," then-CNN host Chris Cuomo insisted in 2018 after a guest said the media was pushing the term "treason."Many believed the failure to find collusion marked the end of Brennans time as a political pundit, but he has maintained a regular presence on MSNBC.But it was hardly the only time Brennans credibility faced scrutiny.In October 2020, Brennan was one of 51 former senior intelligence officials who signed a letter insisting Hunter Bidens scandal-plagued laptop had "all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation," which was quickly used by legacy news outlets to dismiss the laptop altogether.The laptop has since been verified as authentic, another anti-Trump talking point pushed by Brennan that failed to live up to liberal expectations.FORMER TRUMP CAMPAIGN ADVISOR SAYS HIS LIFE WAS 'COMPLETELY DESTROYED' BY DOJ'S SPYINGThe Brennan investigation comes after Ratcliffe declassified a"lessons learned" reviewof the creation of the 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) earlier this month. The 2017 ICA alleged Russia sought to influence the 2016 presidential election to help then-candidate Donald Trump. But the review found that the process of the ICA's creation was rushed with "procedural anomalies," and that officials diverted from intelligence standards.It also determined that the decision to include the Steele dossier, a now-widely discredited anti-Trump document, "ran counter to fundamental tradecraft principles and ultimately undermined the credibility of a key judgment."Records declassified as part of that review furtherrevealed that Brennan did,in fact, push for the dossier to be included in the 2017 ICA. Brennan testified to the House Judiciary Committee in May 2023, however, that he did not believe the dossier should be included in that intelligence product.The day after the investigation was reported, Brennan appeared on MSNBCs "Deadline: White House" with Nicolle Wallace to downplay the ordeal."Im really shocked that individuals are willing to sacrifice their reputations, their credibility, their decency to continue to do Donald Trumps bidding, on something that clearly is just politically based," Brennan told MSNBC viewers.

It is clear the ASF is not in alignment with these goals."The Aspen Institute said in a statement on the Pentagon withdrawal: "For more than a decade, the Aspen Security Forum has welcomed senior officials Republican and Democrat, civilian and military as well as senior foreign officials and experts, who bring experience and diverse perspectives on matters of national security.""We will miss the participation of the Pentagon, but our invitations remain open."
