And the roommate of Charlie Kirk's accused killer testifies. What he says the suspect told him just hours after the shooting

The stories that matter, clear and credible, from across the country to around the world

These are your unbiased updates from Straight Arrow. Good morning, I'm Craig DeGrelli. Mexico's president is pushing for a criminal investigation

after a Mexican man was fatally shot by ICE during a traffic stop in Houston

The Department of Homeland Security now says Lorenzo Salgado Arajo was not the man ICE agents were trying to find when the shooting happened Tuesday morning

DHS says agents stopped Salgado Arajo because he was driving a vehicle that matched the description of one link to their actual target

The agency says Salgado Arajo then weaponized his vehicle and tried to run over an agent, prompting an officer to open fire

He was shot in the stomach and died hours later at a hospital

No body camera or other video of the shooting has been released. The DHS inspector general is investigating the shooting

while the FBI is probing whether Salgado Araujo assaulted a federal officer

Meanwhile, Mexican President Claudia Scheinbaum says her government will seek a criminal investigation

into the deaths of 17 Mexican nationals who have died in ICE custody

or during Trump administration immigration enforcement operations, including Salgado Araujo. She said Mexico cannot ignore those deaths, adding that many of those who died came to the United States to work

This morning, a U.S. official says technical talks between the United States and Iran are still moving forward

despite the two sides exchanging strikes multiple times this week. The U.S. is also denying it was behind a series of explosions reported across parts of Iran on Thursday

as thousands of mourners gathered to bury slain Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei

Khamenei was laid to rest in his hometown of Mashhad after a days-long state funeral that took his coffin across the country

His eldest son Mustafa Khamenei oversaw Thursday's services, but his successor Motaba Khamenei was nowhere to be seen

Motaba has not appeared in public since the war began in late February Elsewhere CNN reports Israel recently warned the United States about what it described as a new Iranian plot to

assassinate President Trump. U.S. officials have not confirmed that report, and some believe the

intelligence could be part of an effort by Israel to persuade Trump to take a harder military line

against Iran. Meanwhile, Israel's defense minister says the country is prepared to resume military

operations against Iran with even greater force, if necessary. And according to multiple reports

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also urged Trump during a Thursday phone call not to sell

F-35 fighter jets to Turkey after Trump said earlier this week he was open to the idea

New testimony in the case of the man accused of killing conservative activist Charlie Kirk in

Utah. At his preliminary hearing, a judge heard from his former roommate, who says Tyler Robinson

admitted to the shooting and said he wished he had not done it. Former roommate and romantic

partner Lance Twiggs testified Thursday as prosecutors continued laying out their case

against the 23-year-old Robinson. Twiggs told the court he saw Robinson the day after the

shooting death of Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University, and he was pacing around their

apartment. When he asked if what Robinson had told him the night before was true

Twig said Robinson confirmed it, then became emotional. Didn't go into detail

He just, I just asked him in person if what he said was true the night before, and he said it was

I started crying a little bit and said he wishes he hadn't done it

And then kept going around and just doing stuff, I think, to keep himself busy or distracted or something

Prosecutors also displayed screenshots of text messages. They say Robinson sent twigs before the shooting, including one that read, I had enough of his hatred

They also showed surveillance video they say tracks Robinson's movements on campus before the shooting

Robinson has not entered a plea to aggravated murder charges. Prosecutors say he targeted Kirk because of his political views

while his defense has challenged key DNA evidence and fought to keep some of this week's testimony and exhibits from being made public

The high-profile hearing has drawn large crowds, with people camping outside the courthouse for one of just 14 public seats available each day

Charlie Kirk's widow and parents have attended the proceedings, at times leaving the courtroom during the presentation of graphic evidence

At the end of the hearing the judge will decide whether prosecutors have presented enough evidence to send the case to trial The former U Olympian accused of damaging the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool is pleading not guilty as his defense takes aim at the Trump administration

Free-time Olympic canoeist David Hearn appeared in D.C. Superior Court on Thursday

where a judge released him on his own recognizance after he entered a not guilty plea to a felony destruction of property charge

Prosecutors say Hearn forcefully ripped up part of the reflecting pool's new blue liner last month

causing more than $1,000 in damage. Hearn insists he did no such thing

He says he stopped during a bike ride, reached down to touch a piece of the liner that was already peeling away

and left the pool in the same condition he found it. Outside the courthouse, supporters applauded as Hearn walked out with his legal team

If Mr. Hearn can be charged with a felony for touching the reflecting pool, every American is at risk

And every American should be alarmed about this prosecution. We have confidence in our justice system to see through this misuse of government power against an ordinary American based on a false and politicized narrative

Hearn's lawyers say he's being made a scapegoat for the troubled $16 million renovation of the reflecting pool, which has been plagued by peeling liner and green algae

When announcing the indictment last week, U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro said park employees saw Hearn vandalizing the pool

By Hearn's own admission on June 19th, he reached down into the pool

Our evidence further shows that the National Park Service employees observed Hearn actually forcefully and violently pulling up and removing the bottom liner with both hands

Hearn's next court appearance is set for August 5th. Eight men are now charged in what federal prosecutors call a plot to carry out a drone and sniper attack at the UFC event on the White House South Lawn

The Justice Department unsealed a new indictment Thursday, adding an eighth defendant to the case

Prosecutors say Chandler Skaggs of West Virginia was recruited to serve as one of the snipers in a plot targeting UFC Freedom 250 held at the White House on June 14th The indictment says the group spent weeks gathering guns ammunition body armor explosives drones and communications equipment Prosecutors say the plan was to use drones as a diversion then have snipers open fire on people fleeing the event

The alleged targets included President Trump, Vice President J.D. Vance, Benjamin Netanyahu, Elon Musk, and other high-profile attendees

Investigators say they learned of the plot four days before the event, giving law enforcement time to intervene

All eight men are charged with conspiracy to provide material support to terrorists

and conspiracy to commit murder on federal property and of a federal official

If convicted, they could face life in prison. Finally this morning, one of the most famous artifacts in British history

is back in England for the first time in nearly a thousand years

The Bayeux Tapestry, a 230-foot-long embroidered cloth that tells the story of the Norman conquest of England in 1066, has arrived in London

The medieval masterpiece has been kept in the French city of Bayeux for centuries

Last week, it made the carefully planned trip across the English Channel, transported overnight inside a climate-controlled case, resting in a custom shock-absorbing cradle

Curators say moving an object this rare was an operation unlike any they've ever undertaken

I would say, you know, the museum moves valuable objects all the time

But in terms of, I suppose, public attention on one object and the logistical challenges, this is absolutely unprecedented

And the fact that this object has moved so little in its lifetime that we know about and now it's it's crossed the channel to come here

It is a singularly significant historical moment. The tapestry goes on display at the British Museum in September, where it will remain on loan from France through mid-2027

And there's already huge demand. The museum says more than 100,000 tickets have already been sold

I mean, think about that. 100,000 tickets, right? That's like an American college football game on Saturday

Ohio State against Michigan, 100,000 people or so there. That's how many people want to see this tapestry

That's really amazing. All right, no noise. No signs. Unbiased Updates gives you the facts straight
