NoneFar-right streamer and influencer Nick Fuentes has been accused of battery after allegedly spraying a woman with pepper spray when she appeared at his front door in Illinois last month as his refrain “Your body, my choice” was going viral. Marla Rose, 57, told police that she went to record Fuentes’ home on Nov. 10 after she saw his controversial social media post and that he pepper-sprayed her, pushed her onto the concrete and broke her phone outside his Chicago-area home in Berwyn, Illinois. According to a police report, which was filed Nov. 11, the woman did not have any visible physical injuries but her eyes were “watery.” Fuentes was arrested late last month and released the same day. He is set to appear in court on Dec. 19. Fuentes did not respond to requests for comment Friday. He posted pictures Friday of his mugshots on X and wrote , “Free me n----”. Rose also took to social media, posting on Facebook : “It. Is. On. 🔥🔥🔥 PS — Civil case pending.” Rose could not be reached for comment Friday. Fuentes was doxxed and his address posted on social media after he went viral for an X post that has been viewed more than 99.6 million times since he posted it on Election Day , in which he wrote “Your body, my choice. Forever,” referring to abortion policies. He told police that since he “posted a political joke online,” he has faced death threats and “people showing up to his house unannounced” and had been “in fear for his life,” the report stated. Another woman who had driven by Fuentes’ house called police to report that she had seen a woman shoved by a man outside the home, according to the police report. Rose was still at the house when police arrived, but she and Fuentes were separated while they spoke to officers, the report stated. Police said Fuentes “became uncooperative” with the resource officer on scene and would not answer any additional questions about the alleged altercation with Rose, according to the report. After his Election Day post, Fuentes’ personal information began circulating online, with many on social media posting his address and pictures of his house, writing, “Your house, our choice.” In a now-deleted Facebook post, Rose had said that she was prompted to appear at Fuentes’ door given the views he shared online. In her post, she also disclosed Fuentes’ home address several times. This story first appeared on NBCNews.com .

Elon Musk, the world's richest man, spent more than $250 million in the final months of this year's election to help Donald Trump win the presidency, federal filings revealed Thursday. The sum is a fraction of Musk's wealth. But it is nonetheless a staggering amount from a single donor, who poured the cash into allied groups and is now playing a role in helping shape the next administration. One of Musk's most brazen moves -- which emerged only Thursday -- was spending $20 million to prop up a super political action committee that was named after Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the late liberal Supreme Court justice, but that sought to help Trump by softening his anti-abortion positions. Musk put the lion's share of the money he donated toward his main super PAC, America PAC, cutting three checks for $25 million each in the final weeks of the race, according to the new filings with the Federal Election Commission. Musk also spent $40.5 million on legally controversial checks to voters in swing states who signed a petition in support of the Constitution. Over the course of the race, he gave America PAC a staggering $239 million in both cash and in-kind contributions.

Musk came to see defeating President Joe Biden as a vital imperative and swung hard toward Trump after the assassination attempt against him in July. He became so invested in the effort that he campaigned frequently for the Republican nominee in Pennsylvania, widely seen as the most important battleground state. Discover the stories of your interest Blockchain 5 Stories Cyber-safety 7 Stories Fintech 9 Stories E-comm 9 Stories ML 8 Stories Edtech 6 Stories Musk also donated $4 million to America PAC on Nov. 12, a week after Election Day. He has vowed to keep his super PAC active by targeting progressive prosecutors and supporting Trump's agenda. Since the election, Musk has become inescapable at Mar-a-Lago, Trump's private club in Florida. He is leading an effort to try to trim the size of the federal government, and he has weighed in on various personnel choices that the incoming president has made. While some in Trump's orbit -- and at times the president-elect himself -- have at times seemed weary of Musk's constant presence, the upside he brings in the form of enormous financial support and a major social media platform have clearly outweighed any concerns. Musk's total spending on the election is not yet known -- and may never be. He cut other political checks to conservative down-ballot groups this cycle, including $12 million to two groups trying to elect Republican senators, the Senate Leadership Fund and the Sentinel Action Fund. Musk, who originally wanted to keep his support for Trump quiet, may have also funded dark-money entities that will never disclose his involvement or donations. On Thursday, Musk was revealed as the hidden funding source behind RBG PAC , a Republican group that worked to elect Trump but was named after a liberal jurist who despised him. A trust belonging to Musk was the sole funder of RBG PAC, which had not yet disclosed its donors before a filing late Thursday. During the election, the group had run ads arguing that Trump's position on abortion was not dissimilar from that of Ginsburg, a feminist icon. "Great Minds Think Alike," read the text on the super PAC's website, featuring twin large photos of Trump and Ginsburg, who died in 2020. Her family bitterly opposed the ads. Ginsburg's granddaughter, Clara Spera, said in a statement in October that the family condemned the use of her grandmother's name and that doing so to "support Donald Trump's reelection campaign, and specifically to suggest that she would approve of his position on abortion, is nothing short of appalling." The effort by RBG PAC was meant to reassure female voters who were wary of Trump because of his opposition to abortion rights. He has boasted of being proud of appointing the conservative justices, including Ginsburg's successor, who helped overturn Roe v. Wade. When the group began running ads, there were hints of Musk's involvement. The group's leader, May Mailman, at times defended Musk on television. The ads were part of a broader effort to use various pro-Trump entities to fund ads targeted at specific segments of voters in a race that Trump's advisers anticipated could be closer than it ultimately was. He swept the seven battlegrounds and won the popular vote, the first time a Republican had done so in 20 years.
By REBECCA SANTANA, Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — The picture of who will be in charge of executing President-elect Donald Trump’s hard-line immigration and border policies has come into sharper focus after he announced his picks to head Customs and Border Protection and also the agency tasked with deporting immigrants in the country illegally. Trump said late Thursday he was tapping Rodney Scott, a former Border Patrol chief who’s been a vocal supporter of tougher enforcement measures, for CBP commissioner. As acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Trump said he’d nominate Caleb Vitello, a career ICE official with more than 23 years in the agency who most recently has been the assistant director for firearms and tactical programs. They will work with an immigration leadership team that includes South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem as head of the Department of Homeland Security ; former acting Immigration and Customs Enforcement head Tom Homan as border czar ; and immigration hard-liner Stephen Miller as deputy chief of staff. Customs and Border Protection, with its roughly 60,000 employees, falls under the Department of Homeland Security. It includes the Border Patrol, which Scott led during Trump’s first term, and is essentially responsible for protecting the country’s borders while facilitating trade and travel. Scott comes to the job firmly from the Border Patrol side of the house. He became an agent in 1992 and spent much of his career in San Diego. When he joined the agency, San Diego was by far the busiest corridor for illegal crossings. Traffic plummeted after the government dramatically increased enforcement there, but critics note the effort pushed people to remote parts of California and Arizona. San Diego was also where wall construction began in the 1990s, which shaped Scott’s belief that barriers work. He was named San Diego sector chief in 2017. When he was appointed head of the border agency in January 2020, he enthusiastically embraced Trump’s policies. “He’s well known. He does know these issues and obviously is trusted by the administration,” said Gil Kerlikowske, the CBP commissioner under the Obama administration. Kerlikowske took issue with some of Scott’s past actions, including his refusal to fall in line with a Biden administration directive to stop using terms like “illegal alien” in favor of descriptions like “migrant,” and his decision as San Diego sector chief to fire tear gas into Mexico to disperse protesters. “You don’t launch projectiles into a foreign country,” Kerlikowske said. At the time Scott defended the agents’ decisions , saying they were being assaulted by “a hail of rocks.” While much of the focus of Trump’s administration may be on illegal immigration and security along the U.S.-Mexico border, Kerlikowske also stressed the importance of other parts of Customs and Border Protection’s mission. The agency is responsible for securing trade and international travel at airports, ports and land crossings around the country. Whoever runs the agency has to make sure that billions of dollars worth of trade and millions of passengers move swiftly and safely into and out of the country. And if Trump makes good on promises to ratchet up tariffs on Mexico, China and Canada, CBP will play an integral role in enforcing them. “There’s a huge amount of other responsibility on trade, on tourism, on cyber that take a significant amount of time and have a huge impact on the economy if it’s not done right,” Kerlikowske said. After being forced out under the Biden administration, Scott has been a vocal supporter of Trump’s hard-line immigration agenda. He has appeared frequently on Fox News and testified in Congress. He’s also a senior fellow at the Texas Public Policy Foundation. In a 2023 interview with The Associated Press, he advocated for a return to Trump-era immigration policies and more pressure on Mexico to enforce immigration on its side of the border.Bowls miss out in 4 CFP teams in latest postseason twist
NBC10 has obtained the body camera footage showing the arrest of the driver accused of hitting and killing NHL star Johnny Gaudreau and his brother Matthew while drunk. In the video from Aug. 29, 2024, 43-year-old Sean Higgins can be seen standing and smoking a cigarette while officers ask him questions about what led up to the crash. > Philadelphia news 24/7: Watch NBC10 free wherever you are The video runs just under 10 minutes and shows police running various tests on Higgins to see if he was intoxicated. Then around 7 minutes into the video, an officer places handcuffs on Higgins and he is arrested. At the end of the video, Higgins turns to the officer and asks, "Is everyone okay back there? I mean, what happened?" Johnny and Matty Gaudreau killed John Gaudreau, 31, and Matthew Gaudreau, 29, were riding their bikes north on County Route 551 in Oldmans Township on Thursday at 8:19 p.m. At the same time, Sean Higgins, 43, of Woodstown, New Jersey, was driving a Jeep Grand Cherokee north on County Route 551, according to investigators. Higgins tried to pass two vehicles ahead of him and entered the southbound lanes, police said. An SUV in front of Higgins moved to the middle of the roadway, splitting the north and south lanes in order to safely pass the Gaudreau brothers as they rode their bikes on the right side of the road, according to investigators. Higgins then tried to pass the SUV and struck the Gaudreau brothers, police said. Both brothers died from their injuries. New Jersey state troopers responded to the crash and spoke with Higgins on Pennsville Auburn Road, investigators said. One of the troopers noticed Higgins' breath smelled like alcohol, according to the criminal complaint. Higgins allegedly admitted to drinking five to six beers prior to the crash. Investigators also said Higgins failed a sobriety test. Higgins was arrested and charged with two counts of death by auto and is currently lodged in the Salem County Correctional Facility. Higgins had previous driving violations NBC10 obtained the New Jersey driver history for Higgins. Our investigators found that Higgins had previously been stopped by police for unsafe driving and other violations. According to court records, Higgins had two prior cases in North Carolina during the early 2000s. The records show he was charged with DWI in 2005 but the charges were voluntarily dismissed due to the officer involved not showing up in court. Higgins also had a speeding ticket in 2001 that was dismissed because of his good driving record at the time. Through an open records request to New Jersey's Motor Vehicle Commission, we were able to see that Higgins was involved in two car crashes: One in 2016 and the other in 2021. Higgins remains jailed as he awaits trail in connection to this deadly crash that happened in August. The decision to continue Sean Higgins' detention in Salem County Jail was made during a Friday, Sept. 13, during a Zoom detention hearing in front of Superior Court judge Michael Silvanio. Gaudreau brothers legacy The deadly crash occurred the night before both brothers were set to attend their sister's wedding as groomsmen, per details on TheKnot.com confirmed by NBC10. Johnny Gaudreau -- nicknamed "Johnny Hockey" -- was born in Salem, New Jersey, and grew up in Carneys Point Township, New Jersey. He played high school hockey at Gloucester Catholic High School in Gloucester City, New Jersey, and then college hockey with the the Boston College Eagles from 2011 to 2014. Gaudreau helped the Eagles to the 2012 NCAA national championship as a freshman, scoring 44 points in 44 games that season. He was named the 2014 winner of the Hobey Baker Award as the best player in the NCAA and was selected by the Calgary Flames in the 2011 NHL Draft. Gaudreau entered the NHL in 2014 and played for the Flames for nine seasons. He was named to the NHL All-Rookie Team in 2015 and was a seven-time NHL All-Star. He represented Team USA at five IIHF World Championships and was a gold medal winner with the U.S. team at the 2013 World Junior Hockey Championship. Gaudreau signed with the Columbus Blue Jackets in 2022 and was set to enter his third season with the club this fall. Both Gaudreau brothers were "deeply rooted in the Philadelphia and New Jersey community, where they spent their entire childhood on the ice," the Philadelphia Flyers said in a statement. The brot h ers grew up playing hockey in the Philly area, at Gloucester Catholic as well as with Team Comcast and the Philadelphia Little Flyers. Matt Gaudreau also played four seasons at Boston College before embarking on a pro career that saw stops with four clubs in the ECHL and American Hockey League. He returned to the local area to coach at his alma mater, Gloucester Catholic, as well as with youth and junior teams at Hollydell Ice Arena in Sewell, New Jersey, where their father was the hockey director. Johnny Gaudreau was also inducted into Gloucester Catholic's Hall of Fame and, along with his brother, frequently gave back to the school by raising money and contributing to the hockey program.Trump taps forceful ally of hard-line immigration policies to head Customs and Border Protection
A lot of folks consider the holiday season to be the most wonderful time of the year, but with scammers and tricksters out in force looking to take advantage of holiday shoppers, it can quickly become the worst if you're not careful. Black Friday and Cyber Monday hold special places of prominence on the holiday shopping calendar. According to data gathered by Capital One , consumer spending on Cyber Monday has grown from $3.1 billion in 2015 to $12.4 billion in 2023, with 2024 showing no signs slowing down. The financial institution also found that an estimated 73.1 million shopped online for Cyber Monday last year, compared to 20.9 million who went to an actual store. The internet has already become a haven for scammers -- with the Federal Trade Commission estimating that over $300 million has already been lost to online shopping fraud this year -- but things go to an entirely different level during the holiday season, when folks are a lot more inclined to part with their money, especially online and for deals that might seem too good to be true. Don't let your festive spirit turn sour this year and read on for CNET's tips for avoiding Black Friday and Cyber Monday scams. For more on holiday shopping, check out CNET's best streaming deals and the best TV's on the market for 2024. Be wary of who you're dealing with to avoid phishing scams Phishing scams -- ones that involve attempts to get you to willingly give over a piece of important information -- are the bread-and-butter of modern online scammers, and you can bet these schemes are out in force for the holiday shopping season. Speaking with a local news station, Melissa Ames, president of an Ohio-based branch of the Better Business Bureau, warned shoppers to be cautious about emails and text messages claiming that a package they ordered is stalled in transit. These sorts of messages are commonly used by scammers to make you click through a link and give them personal information. While keeping track of holiday packages, it's best to disregard any messages like this and rely exclusively on the website of whichever shipping company you are using. NerdWallet has also warned shoppers to be on alert for phishing schemes using QR codes, a rising trend known as "quishing." These codes, when scanned, direct you to fraudulent websites or in some cases directly install malware on your device. To avoid this fate, it's best to avoid scanning any QR codes you received unexpectedly, such as from strange emails, and to be extra vigilant about the authenticity of codes you come across in public. Be careful where you use your credit card Credit cards are a necessity while shopping online for deals, but they can also potentially land you in trouble. Expert sources, like the North Carolina Department of Justice , urge shoppers to do their shopping with cards and to always keep receipts, to make your purchases easier to track and to ensure you can get a refund if you were misled about a certain product. On the flip side, you also must be careful about how and where you use your credit card. When making a purchase online, make sure you stick to your own private home Wi-Fi network. Making purchases over public Wi-Fi networks greatly increases the risk of your personal information being exposed to hackers. Here's more on what to watch for with credit card scams . Your credit card company might also provide various services to help you deal with possible fraud with your card. If you suspect this holiday season that your card has been commandeered for illicit purposes, definitely give your company's customer service line a call to see what your options are. Be certain about that charity asking for a donation Charities are a common fixture of the holiday season, with organizations hoping to tap into the spirit of giving to help their causes. Unfortunately, this has prompted bad actors to use the facade of charity to try to trick generous people into giving them money for a fake cause. To avoid this , it's best to make sure you're donating only to charities you know about already or you can find official information about somewhere. This is especially true for charities that might try and reach you via emails or online ads. Before you make a donation, check out the organization or charity. You can use a charity-evaluation service such as Charity Navigator , which evaluates charities based on their financial health, accountability and transparency. Charity Navigator assigns a "Give With Confidence" designation to the organizations it deems safe to donate to. Be careful which websites you visit Experts strongly recommend that you be careful about the websites you visit and do business through during the holiday shopping season, as scammers are known to create fake store websites or review sites to dupe customers. Speaking with Staten Island Live , Miguel Fornés, a cybersecurity expert for SurfShark, called this tactic the most common one used by scammers and warned of the methods that allow them to create convincing fakes. "Scammers simply create fake websites or mobile apps that look like legitimate retailers," he explained. "Logos, fonts and website design might look very similar to well-known brands. Fraudsters might also use social media or other channels to advertise such fake stores to lure victims." In order to help avoid these fake sites, customers are advised to try and do business only on websites that they are familiar with already and trust during the holiday season. If you are not sure about a website you find, you can also check trusted outlets like TrustPilot and BazaarVoice to try to determine if they are legitimate. Also be wary of deals on products that seem too good to be true, as this can often be a hook to try to get you to shop at a fake website. What to do if you find a scam? If you believe that you have stumbled upon a scam this holiday season, it's important that you do your part to bring attention to it. This can involve sharing the details of the potential scam with friends and family, but also sharing what you know with the Better Business Bureau's Scam Tracker website.
