Regional head of Homeland Security shares concerns about fallout from Trump raid, border security
DALLAS, Texas - Federal law enforcement officials say there is growing concern that federal agents will be targeted in retaliation for the FBI executing a search warrant at former President Donald Trump's estate in Florida.Lester Hayes Jr., the new special agent in charge of Homeland Security investigations in the North Texas and Oklahoma region, says federal law enforcement is monitoring potential threats online."I've never witnessed this never thought it would manifest itself in this way," said Hayes. The search of Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate led to armed protests outside the Phoenix FBI office and a shootout in Cincinnati with a man who tried to storm the FBI office.RELATED: Timeline of events leading up to FBI search of Trump's homeRELATED: Ohio FBI shooting: Gunman reportedly threatened agency following raid of Trump's homeHayes has been a member of federal law enforcement for more than 20 years, but only recently came to Dallas.He says he is focused on border security because what comes across Texas-Mexico border often comes through Dallas and on to the rest of the country."Not only drugs, but people," Hayes said. "They are all traveling on the same highway." The Department of Homeland Security is also conducting multiple investigations into catalytic converter thefts across North Texas.A Dallas man confronted a suspect who appeared to be in the middle of stealing a catalytic converter from his van last week.The car parts are then sold overseas for millions of dollars, according to Hayes.Hayes is asking the community to help law enforcement catch criminals."We want to get out in the community.

ORLANDO, Fla. - Isaac Aviles, 19, was relieved to finally find a rental home he could afford.But a couple of weeks ago, the home's real owner told him he's been paying the wrong person, and he might need to get out.Aviles was paying $1,200 for the three-bedroom house in Orlando.He says he found it on Zillow, paying a man he spoke to on the phone, but hasn't met in person."I just know like what his name was that he gave me, but it doesn’t seem to match up with anything," Aviles said.After paying the man rent for three months, Aviles got a letter on his door, saying that man isn't the owner.The company that does own it has the home on its website, saying the rent is twice as much.TRENDING: Video: Bear climbs barbed wire fence at Florida Air Force baseAviles might still be able to stay there if he is approved and can afford it.FOX 35 called the person Aviles has been paying to ask about that specific house.The man asked how soon we wanted to move in, but hung up after hearing our questions about who owns the house.MORE NEWS: Florida teen who lost leg in shark attack discharged from hospitalOrlando realtor Mateo Reza tells FOX 35 rental fraud has become more common, with so many vacant homes owned by large firms and so much competition from renters."People are desperate to find a rental property, because rents have increased so much that it is really difficult for them to afford rent here in Central Florida," Reza said.Reza recommends searching homes on multiple sites to see if there are different owners, or checking the county assessor's website.

Ohio FBI shooting: Gunman reportedly threatened agency following raid of Trump's home
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - A gunman who died in a shootout after trying to get inside the FBI’s Cincinnati office appeared to have posted calls on social media for FBI agents to be killed and for people to take up arms and "be ready for combat" in the wake of the search at Donald Trump’s home, a law enforcement official said.Federal investigators are examining social media accounts they believe are tied to the gunman, 42-year-old Ricky Shiffer, and posts that urged violence after the FBI search at Mar-a-Lago in Florida, according to the official, who was not authorized to discuss the investigation publicly and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.At least one of the messages on Trump’s Truth Social media platform appeared to have been posted after Shiffer tried to breach the FBI office. It said: "If you don’t hear from me, it is true I tried attacking the F.B.I."Another posted on the same site earlier this week from @rickywshifferjr included a "call to arms" and urged people to "be ready for combat" after the search.Authorities also are looking into whether Shiffer, a Navy veteran, had ties to far-right extremist groups such as the Proud Boys, the official said.Shiffer was armed with a nail gun and an AR-15-style rifle when he tried to breach the visitor screening area at the FBI office Thursday, according to the official.

FBI seized classified records from Mar-a-Lago during search of Trump residence
Trump, in a statement late Thursday night, called for the "immediate" release of the warrant and property receipt."Not only will I not oppose the release of documents related to the unAmerican, unwarranted, and unnecessary raid and break-in of my home in Palm Beach, Florida, Mar-a-Lago, I am going a step further by ENCOURAGING the immediate release of those documents, even though they have been drawn up by radical left Democrats and possible future political opponents, who have a strong and powerful vested interest in attacking me, much as they have done for the last 6 years," Trump said.DOJ ASKS COURT TO UNSEAL MAR-A-LAGO RAID WARRANT; AG MERRICK GARLAND PERSONALLY SIGNED OFF ON TRUMP SEARCHThe former president touted his current poll numbers saying they "are the strongest they have ever been, fundraising by the Republican Party is breaking all records, and midterm elections are fast approaching.""This unprecedented political weaponization of law enforcement is inappropriate and highly unethical," Trump said. "The world is watching as our Country is being brought to a new low, not only on our border, crime, economy, energy, national security, and so much more, but also with respect to our sacred elections!He added: "Release the documents now!"Garland, during his public remarks Thursday, said he "personally" signed off on the decision to obtain a warrant to search Trump’s private residence."The department does not take such a decision lightly," Garland said.

Justice Department files motion to unseal Mar-a-Lago search warrant
WASHINGTON - Attorney General Merrick Garland has spoken publicly from Washington this afternoon three days after agents searched former president Donald Trump’s Florida estate.Garland also said that he personally approved the search warrant, which was part of an ongoing Justice Department investigation into the discovery of classified White House records recovered from Trump's Mar-a-Lago home in Palm Beach, Florida earlier this year.It was not immediately clear if and when the unsealing request, filed in federal court in Miami, might be granted or when the documents could be released.Now, the Justice Department has asked a court to unseal the search warrant the FBI received before searching the Florida estate of former President Donald Trump, Garland said Thursday.Before Garland's remarks, there had been no high-level comment from the Justice Department since federal agents spent most of the day Monday at Trump’s winter home, reportedly retrieving documents and even opening a safe.The FBI search was part of an investigation into whether the former president took classified records from the White House to his Florida residence. While Republicans have rallied behind Trump, very few facts about the case have been released publicly. RELATED: FBI's search of Trump's Florida estate: Why now?Trump's attorneys have so far declined to release details from the search warrant, and the former president – who was in New York at the time of the search – has suggested on social media that agents could have been planting evidence at his home.Mar-a-Lago, seen from the air.

Trump to testify Wednesday in NY investigation
NEW YORK - Former President Donald Trump will be questioned under oath Wednesday in the New York attorney general’s long-running civil investigation into his dealings as a real estate mogul.It was unclear if he was going to answer questions or invoke his 5th Amendment rights to avoid self-incrimination.Trump’s testimony comes amid a flurry of legal activity surrounding him, taking place just days after FBI agents searched his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida as part of an unrelated federal probe into whether he took classified records when he left the White House.The New York civil investigation, led by Attorney General Letitia James, involves allegations that Trump’s company, the Trump Organization, misstated the value of assets like golf courses and skyscrapers, misleading lenders and tax authorities.Trump spent Tuesday night in Trump Tower in Midtown Manhattan ahead of the meeting.  He was seen leaving the building on Wednesday morning and arrived at the Attorney General's office a short time later.Get breaking news alerts in the free FOX5NY News app!  |  Sign up for FOX 5 email newslettersIn May, James' office said that it was nearing the end of its probe and that investigators had amassed substantial evidence that could support legal action, such as a lawsuit, against Trump, his company or both.Trump’s deposition is one of the few remaining missing pieces, the attorney general’s office said.Two of Trump’s children, Donald Jr.

Airlines would have to give refunds for delayed flights under new rule proposal
flight schedule is changed significantly or the airline makes major changes to their itinerary.The proposed rule announced Wednesday would require airlines to give refunds if their departure or arrival time changes by three hours or more for a domestic flight or at least six hours for an international one.Refunds would also be due if the airline changes the passenger’s departure or arrival airport, adds stops in their itinerary, or causes "a significant downgrade" in the travel experience by switching to a different type of plane.The rule would apply even for travelers who buy nonrefundable tickets, which usually cost less and are favored by many leisure travelers.The proposal comes after the department was flooded with complaints by passengers whose flights were canceled or changed — or who were afraid to fly during the early months of the pandemic — and who couldn't get refunds.RELATED: Delta passenger explains why he declined $10K offer to give up airplane seatAirlines prefer to hand out travel vouchers instead of refunds.The department proposes to require that airlines and ticket agents give vouchers that don't expire for passengers who are told not to travel during a pandemic for health reasons or because borders are closed.RELATED: Amid delays, American Airlines earns $476 million on record revenue in 2QThe proposal faces a public-comment period and likely opposition by airlines.
