Molotov attacks on Tesla assets lead to indictments in the U.S.

U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi announced on Thursday the indictment of three individuals for their involvement in what she described as “a wave of domestic terrorism against Tesla,” the electric car manufacturer owned by billionaire Elon Musk, a close ally of President Donald Trump.

The three individuals “will face the full weight of the law for setting fire to Tesla cars and charging stations using Molotov cocktails,” the Department of Justice said in a statement. “This is a warning: if anyone participates in this wave of domestic terrorism against Tesla’s assets, the Department of Justice will put them behind bars,” Bondi added.

The three defendants, who have not been identified, face prison sentences ranging from five to 20 years, according to the Department of Justice, which did not specify the exact charges they are facing.

In recent weeks, several Tesla vehicles, dealerships, and charging stations have been vandalized across the United States.

One of the accused was arrested after throwing Molotov cocktails at a Tesla dealership in Salem, Oregon (west) and another in Loveland, Colorado (west) after attempting to set fire to Tesla cars using the same method, according to the Attorney General’s office.

Petro criticizes Milei, calling him ‘greedy’ and a ‘Mussolini nostalgic’

Colombian President Gustavo Petro described his Argentine counterpart, Javier Milei, as a “nostalgic admirer” of Benito Mussolini, “greedy,” and labeled him a “cipayo” for his admiration of U.S. President Donald Trump.

“I believe Milei is nostalgic for Mussolini and is part of forces that represent death rather than life. Milei is greedy,” Petro said in an interview on La Pizarra, a radio program hosted by Spanish economist Alfredo Serrano Mancilla, who is based in Argentina.

Petro suggested that Milei does not identify with Latin America due to his Italian citizenship, which was granted to him by Giorgia Meloni’s government during an official visit to Italy.

“Milei comes from the European world; he does not come from the Latin American flow. He is Italian. And today, Italy is in full decline, still longing not for the Roman Empire, but for Mussolini—something even worse,” the Colombian president added.

Miami crash injures three, including police officer; one in critical condition

A pedestrian remains in critical condition on Sunday after a two-vehicle crash involving a Miami police officer shut down several streets for hours the previous night.

Around 6:30 p.m. on Saturday, the officer was driving east in a patrol car on Northwest Seventh Street when a westbound driver turned left at the intersection of Northwest Seventh Street and Northwest 47th Avenue, according to Miami Police Officer Kiara Delva.

A video from CBSMiami, a news partner of the Miami Herald, showed a dark-colored Toyota with front-left damage and a Miami police patrol car with damage on the driver’s side.

Two women walking along Northwest Seventh Street were either struck by the vehicles or hit by flying debris. Delva told CBSMiami that the officer and one woman were hospitalized in stable condition, while another remained in critical condition. The Toyota’s driver was unharmed.

As of early Sunday morning, Northwest Seventh Street remained closed from Northwest 43rd Avenue to Northwest 51st Avenue, while Northwest 47th Avenue was shut down from Sixth Street

Justice Department: Third deportation flight followed legal orders

The U.S. Department of Justice stated on Friday that the third deportation flight carrying Venezuelan nationals to El Salvador last Saturday did not violate a court order, as all its passengers had final removal orders and none were expelled under the Alien Enemies Act.

“I don’t know the details of what those orders said, but what I understand and what I have been told is that everyone on the third plane had final removal orders,” said the State Department attorney during a hearing before U.S. District Judge James Boasberg in Washington, D.C.

On Saturday, Judge Boasberg issued an order to halt deportations based on Donald Trump’s invocation of the Alien Enemies Act, a 1798 law last used during World War II that allows for the summary removal of foreign nationals.

Despite the ruling, three flights departed from Texas that day, landing in El Salvador, where they handed over more than 200 Venezuelans—whom the U.S. government claims are members of the Tren de Aragua criminal gang—to local authorities, who agreed to imprison them.
