An illegal immigrant, identified as Henry Isaul Garcia, attacked an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer with his car during a traffic stop in Homestead, Florida, on September 15th, 2025, at approximately 11:31 PM UTC. Garcia, a Guatemalan citizen, reversed his vehicle into the officer's leg before colliding with multiple ICE vehicles and a utility van while attempting to evade arrest with three other passengers. Assistant Homeland Security Secretary Tricia Newhall blamed "sanctuary politicians" for encouraging such actions. In parallel developments, "China hawks" in Congress are demanding increased scrutiny of President Donald Trump's potential deal involving TikTok, according to Politico. This comes as a Meta lobbyist indicated that the tech industry is facing pressure from the right wing regarding content moderation, a situation described as a "role reversal" where "people are all over them." Separately, Senator Rand Paul criticized President Trump's recent strike on alleged Venezuelan drug boats, questioning the policy of "shooting boats without knowing who's on board." On the political front, Senator Joe Manchin urged the Democratic Party to re-evaluate its strategies, stating, "you better start looking at how you lost people like me," and noted a meeting with Matthew McConaughey in New York. Meanwhile, discussions are underway regarding the potential ownership of Paramount, Warner Bros. Discovery, and TikTok US by Larry and David Ellison, which could consolidate significant media control. A new interactive national precinct map highlighting election results and demographic data has also been launched by VoteHubUS. These events follow previous reports from the current window, including the conviction of former US Army soldier Craig Austin Lang for double murder and violating the Neutrality Act, and Representative Nancy Mace's statement about carrying a firearm due to security concerns. Former Governor Andrew Cuomo commented on the Gaza war, calling for an immediate end to violence and the return of hostages. Senator Tom Cotton praised military actions against "narco-terrorists," while Representative Steve Cohen criticized federal National Guard deployments in Memphis. President Trump also suggested ending quarterly corporate reporting.
