Hi Shawn, I am with NBC News. Would you give me a follow back so I can DM you about this video? Are you open to sharing it/licensing it? Thanks!
at one point, i watched a cook county sheriff’s officer (who appears to be in charge) point out a priest in the crowd.
he and a couple officers then went into the crowd , dragged him into the street, and arrested him.
situation is still tense as crowd jostles with police to get into the street.

Hi @shannonhale.bsky.social, I'm with NBC News. Did you take this video yourself, and if so, will you give NBCU permission to share it on all platforms and partners, with credit to you? Thanks
I'm shaking almost too hard to type. I entered SLC airport and heard screams and cries for help. I could see people gathered around, watching. I sped over to discover this woman face down on the floor, four grown men pushing her down, while she cried "HELP ME" and pled for her child.

“ANTI ICE,” I write, before carrying out violence against two immigrants and zero law enforcement officers
Hours after a shooting of ICE detainees, the FBI says “early evidence” of messages on the rounds are “anti-ICE in nature.”
Here is a picture FBI Director Kash Patel just tweeted of “the unspent shell casings recovered…engraved with the phrase ANTI ICE.”

The most hate mail I ever received in a single day was the day that Jack Posobiec tweeted out a screenshot of an article I wrote and cropped it to prominently include my name. You can take a guess as to what conclusions about me his audience made! Thanks, CBS, for platforming this guy.
I'd list all the things Jack Posobiec is known for, but I think it would get me banned on Bluesky in the current environment of automated moderation.
Let's just say he has an extensive page at the Southern Poverty Law Center.
Anyway, CBS News is talking with Posobiec about his friend Charlie Kirk.

The new rule, established by the GOP on party lines, will enable them to confirm Trump nominees in groups, rather than individually. It's the latest move to erode minority powers.

I regret every shooting video I have ever had to watch.
Folks, as someone who watched an enormous amount of graphic footage in my time as a journalist and developed PTSD because of it, please do not watch the Charlie Kirk footage.
Trust me. Once it's seared into your memory you cannot delete it.
