Article Icon 1Ansari and Fox News Host Face Off

Fox News host Laura Ingraham and U.S. Rep. Yassamin Ansari, D-Phoenix, debated after the congresswoman visited El Salvador to promote the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Watch the exchange. 

Garcia’s deportation has been mired in controversy. Democrats allege he was deported without due process, while the Trump administration notes he was in the country illegally and is an alleged member of the MS-13 street gang. 

Ansari’s visit followed that of U.S. Sen. Chris Van Hollen, D-Maryland, whose meeting with Garcia in El Salvador was criticized by President Trump, who said Van Hollen “looked like a fool” and was “begging for attention.”

El Salvador President Nayib Bukele said he has no plans to release Garcia to the U.S.

Former NFL kicker Jay Feely announced his bid for Arizona’s 5th Congressional District to succeed U.S. Rep Andy Biggs, R-Gilbert, who will vacate the seat to run for governor in 2026.

Feely, 48, a Republican who resides in the Gilbert area, said the assassination attempt on President Trump in July inspired him to run for office. 

His campaign will center around secure borders and parental choice, he said. He is the third candidate to enter the race, joining state Rep. Travis Grantham, R-Gilbert, and Army veteran Alex Stovall.

Feely played for seven NFL teams, including the Arizona Cardinals, and has worked as a CBS sports analyst for the past 10 years.

A Chino Valley man found himself at odds with the federal government after the Social Security Administration mistakenly declared him dead in March, freezing his bank account and halting his Social Security checks. 

Patrick Fish first realized something was wrong when his payment card was declined at a grocery store. He eventually discovered the mix-up was a case of mistaken identity following his mother’s death in November.

A similar incident happened to Mesa resident Nina Radkiewicz last year, when her bank account suddenly showed a negative $100 billion. “I called the bank, and they said, ‘Oh yeah, there’s a problem with your account. You’re deceased,'” Radkiewicz said. 

Both instances have been resolved.
