<p>A video capturing a brawl between migrants and police officers in New York's Times Square has ignited a political firestorm and sparked debates over immigration policies and law enforcement cooperation.&nbsp;New York City has sanctuary policies in place to limit cooperation between local law enforcement and federal immigration authorities regarding immigration enforcement.</p>

<p>Police have apprehended seven individuals linked to the assault. Charges against one individual were dropped by prosecutors who determined lack of involvement and&nbsp;insufficient evidence implicating the person. Meanwhile, five out of the remaining six suspects were released and reports said that the city's immigration policies do not influence the bail-setting decisions made by prosecutors and judges.</p>

<p>These policies are aimed at creating an environment where immigrants, regardless of their legal status, can access public services and interact with local law enforcement without fear of deportation solely due to their immigration status.</p>

UK Primrose Hill stabbing case: Police name 16-year-old Harry Pitman as victim

<p>Police authorities from India’s western state of Gujarat grilled at least&nbsp;20 passengers who were on the Nicaragua-bound flight in France, after the plane with over 300 on board was grounded over suspicions of human trafficking following a tip off.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The interrogation was done to find out if some sort of illegal immigration network was running, media reports said citing a senior official.</p>

<p>This comes after the French court finally allowed the passengers to leave France four days, following which the Nicaragua-bound aircraft, an Airbus A340, landed in Mumbai on December 26.</p>

<p>The plane landed in Mumbai had a total of 276 passengers onboard. Reports citing a top state Crime Investigation Department (CID) official, said that at least 60 out of the total passengers were from Gujarat. These people have already arrived in their native state and their interrogation is undergoing.</p>

Police on hunt for gunman who shot dead two in Swiss town of Sion

<p>Police in New Jersey would have never thought that one day they would be chasing a fugitive named "Albert Einswine", a pig that had escaped a farm and remained on the loose until its decorated officers intervened&nbsp;using state-of-the-art technology (a rope) and apprehended the four-year-old 'criminal'.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The pot-bellied pig went on a leisurely stroll after escaping the farm from the New Sharon section of&nbsp;Deptford Township, forcing the police to dispatch its officers to nab the fugitive.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The Deptford Township Police Department posted a video of the 'frenzied' chase where the pig gave the slip to the police officers multiple times. Each time any of them got close, the pig with his war cry, masquerading as a squeal, slipped away.&nbsp;</p>

Police in New Jersey would have never thought that one day they would be chasing a fugitive named "Albert Einswine", a pig that had escaped a farm and remained on the loose until its decorated officers intervened using state-of-the-art technology (a rope) and apprehended the four-year-old 'criminal'.

Police in New Jersey would have never thought that one day they would be chasing a fugitive named "Albert Einswine", a pig that had escaped a farm and remained on the loose until its decorated officers intervened using state-of-the-art technology (a rope) and apprehended the four-year-old 'criminal'. The pot-bellied pig went on a leisurely stroll after escaping the farm from the New Sharon section of Deptford Township, forcing the police to dispatch its officers to nab the fugitive. The Deptford Township Police Department posted a video of the 'frenzied' chase where the pig gave the slip to the police officers multiple times. Each time any of them got close, the pig with his war cry, masquerading as a squeal, slipped away.

<p>Criminal groups set at least 35 buses on fire in the Brazilian city of Rio de Janeiro on Monday, according to the industry group that represents bus companies, after police killed a crime boss in an operation.</p>

<p>The attacks on buses were concentrated in the west of the city, where rival criminal groups are fighting for territorial control. They came after a police operation that killed the nephew of the leader of the state's largest militia, according to the police.</p>

<p>Rio's so-called militias, often composed of current and former police officers, have become one of the region's largest security threats. Originally set up as self-defence forces for poor neighbourhoods blighted by drug gangs, they have now metastasized into criminal outfits operating in multiple different rackets.</p>

<p>Industry group Rio Onibus said 20 of the vehicles were city buses, five were part of the city's rapid transit fleet and the remainder were chartered or tourism buses.</p>

<p>Rio de Janeiro state Governor Claudio Castro said the operation was a "heavy blow" to the militia.</p>

<p>"In addition to being related to the criminal (head of the militia), he acted as the paramilitary group's 'man of war,' being the main person responsible for the turf wars that terrorize residents in Rio," Castro said in a social media post.</p>

<p>The attacks disrupted the city's bus rapid transit system, hindering the commute home for residents and workers in the region. Classes in public schools in the area were also cancelled.</p>

<p>The Military Police said it arrested 12 suspects involved in the fires, in addition to preventing 15 individuals from setting a cargo truck on fire in one of the city's main gateways.</p>

<p>Venezuelan Police found Bitcoin mining machines, guns with bucketloads of bullets, rocket launchers and grenades in a prison overrun by a powerful gang which they freed in an operation that reportedly involved 11,000 soldiers and cops.</p>

<p>On Thursday (Sept 21), the security personnel moved in, backed up by tanks and armoured vehicles, to free the Tocoron prison in the north-central state of Aragua, which served as the headquarters for the Tren de Aragua gang.</p>

<p>Tocoron prison was a haven for these gang members who had built hotel-like amenities like a pool, restaurant and a mini zoo for themselves.</p>

<p>The zoo had tigers, lions, crocodiles and pumas that were used to challenge prisoners and the authority of government officials.</p>

<p>The prison even had a nightclub named Tokio (Spanish for the Japanese city) where the criminals used to regularly party, and a restaurant were prisoners dined with their visitors.</p>

<h2><strong>Hotel-like amenities&nbsp;</strong></h2>

<p>There was also a baseball field, a room where gambling activities took place, and another where inmates mined cryptocurrency illegally.</p>

<p>The fact that members of Venezuela's most feared criminal gang had virtual control over the prison has given birth to speculations that the jail authorities may have been in cahoots with the Tren de Aragua.</p>

<p>Speaking to reporters, Interior and Justice Minister Remigio Ceballos said that four prison guards were arrested as suspected accomplices of gang members who had lived it up behind bars.</p>

<h2><strong>Some gang members escaped&nbsp;</strong></h2>

<p>"There will be no impunity. We will go against all the criminals and accomplices," Ceballos said, according to AFP.</p>

<p>He hailed a "successful operation that allowed us to strike a blow against criminal groups."</p>

<p>“We are heading towards a Venezuela free of criminal gangs!”</p>

<p>During the operation, around 60 Tren de Aragua members were captured and four prison officials arrested for allegedly allowing the smuggling of weapons, Ceballos said on Thursday.</p>

Venezuelan Police found Bitcoin mining machines, guns with bucketloads of bullets, rocket launchers and grenades in a prison overrun by a powerful gang which they freed in an operation that reportedly involved 11,000 soldiers and cops. On Thursday (Sept 21), the security personnel moved in, backed up by tanks and armoured vehicles, to free the Tocoron prison in the north-central state of Aragua, which served as the headquarters for the Tren de Aragua gang. Tocoron prison was a haven for these gang members who had built hotel-like amenities like a pool, restaurant and a mini zoo for themselves. The zoo had tigers, lions, crocodiles and pumas that were used to challenge prisoners and the authority of government officials. The prison even had a nightclub named Tokio (Spanish for the Japanese city) where the criminals used to regularly party, and a restaurant were prisoners dined with their visitors. Hotel-like amenities There was also a baseball field, a room where gambling activities took place, and another where inmates mined cryptocurrency illegally. The criminal group also set up small shacks where some members lived with their families and had access to satellite television and the internet.

Speaking to reporters, Interior and Justice Minister Remigio Ceballos said that four prison guards were arrested as suspected accomplices of gang members who had lived it up behind bars. Some gang members escaped "There will be no impunity. We will go against all the criminals and accomplices," Ceballos said, according to AFP. He hailed a "successful operation that allowed us to strike a blow against criminal groups."
