1. Knife-wielding illegal migrant accused of threatening US Attorney on Albany, NY streets
A previously deported illegal migrant from El Salvador, Saul Morales-Garcia, was arrested in Albany on attempted murder charges after he lunged at U.S. attorney John Sarcone with a knife outside a hotel. Sarcone feared for his life and managed to escape into the hotel and call for help. Morales-Garcia charged at Sarcone again with the knife, but was eventually arrested by sheriff’s deputies. He has been charged with attempted murder, felony weapons possession, and menacing, and is being held without bail. The case is now being prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, as Sarcone’s office recused itself due to the nature of the charges. Morales-Garcia has a criminal record in multiple states and has been involved in various legal issues in recent years.
2. Cleared of murder charges, Karen Read could eye legal payback against investigators who cost her
Karen Read of Massachusetts was cleared of murder charges in her second trial, allowing her to potentially pursue legal action against individuals and government entities involved in her case. Defense attorney Linda Kenney Baden suggested that Read could sue the officers and entities for conducting an incomplete and inaccurate investigation, leading to her false arrest. Additionally, Read may have a malicious prosecution claim. After losing two jobs and selling her house to cover legal fees, Read aims to sue entities covered by insurance for monetary compensation. However, she faces a lawsuit from the family of the deceased boyfriend and may file a cross claim against two Canton bars. Despite being found guilty of driving intoxicated, Read could still file against the bars for serving her. Legal experts suggest that Read could target local police, state troopers, individual investigators, and even the state government for potential legal action. The fired lead homicide investigator in Read’s case sent confidential information to civilians and mocked her medical conditions, potentially leading to further legal implications.

4. Federal agents thwart man’s explosive alleged plot against officers during LA riots
A man named Grzegorz Vandenberg, 48, is in custody after federal authorities stopped his alleged plan to use large-scale fireworks and explosives against police and government officials at riots protesting deportation efforts in California. Vandenberg faces federal charges for buying fireworks with the intent to harm law enforcement officers and officials at Los Angeles protests. He allegedly visited a travel center in New Mexico, seeking fireworks to cause harm and claiming he could make pipe bombs. Vandenberg planned to travel to Los Angeles to kill law enforcement officers and government officials during anti-ICE riots. He purchased six mortars and 36 large fireworks, intending to use them against officers, but was stopped by authorities who were alerted by a store employee.
Attorney General Pam Bondi condemned Vandenberg’s intentions, stating that threats against law enforcement strike at the heart of law and order, promising federal charges against anyone seeking to harm officers. FBI Director Kash Patel emphasized that the FBI will spare no effort to find and bring to justice those who target law enforcement officers. Vandenberg was charged with transporting explosives with the intent to kill, injure, or intimidate individuals and faces up to 10 years in federal prison if convicted. U.S. Attorney Ryan Ellison warned that targeting law enforcement with violence is a crime and those attempting to harm officers will be held accountable.
