In her first full year leading the Fresno Police Department, Chief Mindy Casto delivered unprecedented results—bringing the city’s homicide count down to just 22 in 2025, the lowest in over 50 years. Through targeted gang enforcement, rapid investigations, and expanded use of technology like ShotSpotter and license-plate readers, Fresno achieved a 70% drop in murders since 2020 while maintaining a 100% clearance rate. Her success marks a transformative shift in public safety and community trust.

Nicole Zieba sits in for John Broeske.

OSCARS 2026: Will You Watch?

Two separate shootings this week raised national security concerns. At Old Dominion University in Virginia, authorities say the gunman was Mohamed Jalloh, a former Army National Guard member previously convicted in 2016 of attempting to provide material support to ISIS. He served about 11 years in federal prison and was released in 2024 before killing one person and wounding two others. In Michigan, an attack at Temple Israel synagogue was carried out by Ayman Ghazali, a naturalized U.S. citizen originally from Lebanon. Ghazali was killed by synagogue security during the attack.

WARNING SIGNS: Deadly Attacks in Virginia and Michigan Spotlight Suspects’ Backgrounds

At a Pentagon press conference on Friday, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth sharply criticized major news outlets—especially CNN—while expressing confidence that the U.S.-led conflict with Iran is nearing a decisive victory. Hegseth accused the media of misrepresenting battlefield progress and promoting what he called misleading or sensational headlines. He claimed Iran’s military capabilities have been severely degraded, citing steep declines in missile and drone attacks, even as fighting continues and U.S. casualties have mounted.
