Another wave of violence and murder swept through Chicago this weekend, with at least five dead by Sunday afternoon.

At least five murders and ten shooting-related injuries had been reported as of 2:08 pm ET.

Several teens as young as 15 years old were injured. One 19-year-old and one 16-year-old were transported to the hospital in critical condition.

Per CBS News:

At least five people have been killed and 10 others have been wounded in weekend shootings across Chicago.

The ages of the victims range from 15 to 44.

In the first shooting of the weekend, a 32-year-old employee of a business in the South Loop got into an argument with a 31-year-old man in the 1300 block of South Michigan Avenue around 9:30 p.m. on Friday.

This included at least two shooting incidents on Friday, starting at 9:30 pm local time, seven on Saturday, starting at approximately 1 am, and five on Sunday, starting shortly after midnight.

In nearly all cases, nobody was taken into custody.

This comes after 58 people were shot in Chicago last weekend, leaving eight dead.

The weekend before, at least six people were killed and 27 were injured, with victims as young as five years old, in shootings.

The Trump Administration has been planning federal law enforcement operations and potential National Guard deployment in the Windy City, citing the violent crime crisis.

It was recently revealed that 200 or more Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officials would be deployed in the sanctuary city of Chicago to carry out deportations. The National Guard may also be deployed as a deterrent to rioters and criminals.

President Trump pointed to the data from the last two weekends and shredded a reporter at the White House earlier, when asked why he was targeting Chicago with law enforcement actions.

"Excuse me, do you know how many people were killed in Chicago last weekend? Eight. You know how many people were killed in Chicago the week before? Seven," he said. "You know how many people were wounded? 74 people were wounded. You think there’s worse than that? I don’t think so."

Grey’s Anatomy star Eric Dane passed away last month.

He was 53 years old.

According to People, Eric Dane died of respiratory failure.

Eric Dane was known for his role as Dr. Mark Sloan or “McSteamy.”

Last year Eric Dane revealed he was diagnosed with ALS – a disease that affects the nervous system and ultimately leads to loss of muscle control.

“With heavy hearts, we share that Eric Dane passed on Thursday afternoon following a courageous battle with ALS,” the family’s statement to Fox News read.

“He spent his final days surrounded by dear friends, his devoted wife, and his two beautiful daughters, Billie and Georgia, who were the center of his world. Throughout his journey with ALS, Eric became a passionate advocate for awareness and research, determined to make a difference for others facing the same fight. He will be deeply missed, and lovingly remembered always. Eric adored his fans and is forever grateful for the outpouring of love and support he’s received. The family has asked for privacy as they navigate this impossible time,” the statement read.

Eric Dane was spotted in a wheelchair last year after his diagnosis.

People reported:

Eric Dane’s official cause of death has been confirmed.

The Grey’s Anatomy and Euphoria actor died of respiratory failure, according to his death certificate obtained by PEOPLE. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is an underlying cause of death.

Dane was 53. He is survived by his wife, Rebecca Gayheart, and their two children, Billie Beatrice, 15, and Georgia Geraldine, 13.

His family confirmed that the star died on Thursday, Feb. 19, nearly one year after he announced he had been diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

Also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, ALS is a progressive degenerative disease that affects the nerve cells, leading to eventual paralysis of the muscles, according to the Mayo Clinic. There is no cure for ALS. However, there are medications and forms of physical therapy that can slow the progression.

Office of Inspector General Announces Debarment of Former UNRWA Employee for Participation in the October 7 Terrorist Attacks in Israel

Following an investigation, the Office of Inspector General (OIG) announced the 10-year, government-wide debarment of Hafez Mousa Mohammed Mousa, a former employee of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA), for participation in the October 7, 2023, terrorist attacks in Israel.

This investigative result represents the first known debarment by the United States of a terrorist affiliated with a UN agency responsible for humanitarian assistance programming.

In August 2024,  UNRWA admitted that nine of its staff members may have been involved in the heinous Hamas attack on Israel on October 7, 2023.

The Gateway Pundit further reported that hostages, including three women, were held for at least part of their 471 days in captivity within United Nations shelters.

The IDF revealed that a top-secret Hamas subterranean data center was discovered beneath the headquarters of UNRWA in  Gaza.

According to The Times of Israel, “The subterranean data center — complete with an electrical room, industrial battery power banks and living quarters for Hamas terrorists operating the computer servers — was built precisely under the location where Israel would not consider looking initially, let alone target in an airstrike.”

Despite their disturbing record, Joe Biden reversed a prior Trump policy regarding the agency and sent at least $1 billion to UNRWA during his tenure.

Following OIG’s announcement, Mousa is now prohibited from participating in all United States contracting and grant activities.

OIG notes, “Following the October 7 terrorist attacks in Israel, USAID OIG initiated a proactive investigation into allegations that UNRWA personnel participated in the attacks and/or were affiliated with Hamas, a U.S. designated foreign terrorist organization.”

“USAID OIG’s investigation revealed evidence that Mousa is an operative of the Hamas East Jabaliya Battalion and coordinated communications with other suspected Hamas members during the October 7 attacks while serving as an UNRWA school principal.”

“Our investigation has, to date, referred for debarment two additional former UNRWA employees for their participation in the October 7 attacks, along with 14 other UNRWA employees for having Hamas affiliation.”

“This proactive investigation remains active and ongoing. USAID OIG, with continued oversight jurisdiction over U.S.-funded foreign assistance, will be referring numerous UNRWA personnel for suspension/debarment consideration based on Hamas affiliation and/or participation in the October 7 terrorist attacks. All subjects to date have been referred to the U.S. Department of State for consideration of suspension and/or debarment action.”

“Relatedly, USAID OIG has ongoing investigative work aimed at preventing the recirculation of terrorist-affiliated actors across aid organizations operating in Gaza. USAID OIG also continues to focus on ensuring accountability for UN staff that commit misconduct in the performance of U.S.-funded awards.”

“In 2022, USAID IG’s investigation resulted in the debarment of numerous World Health Organization doctors and other officials found to have sexually assaulted Congolese women and girls during the Ebola response.”

During President Trump’s early days in his return to the White House, he announced the immediate suspension of funding of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) as part of a decision to suspend any foreign assistance for 90 days pending reviews.

JUST IN: MI Couple Takes Action After Husband Refused Service At Smoothie King In Liberal College Town For Wearing A Trump Hoodie [VIDEO]

Published

When Erika Lindemyer and her husband walked inside the Smoothie King on Jackson Ave in Ann Arbor, Michigan, to order a smoothie for him, they never dreamed that an employee working behind the counter would refuse to provide service to them because he was wearing a sweatshirt with the name of the President of the United States on the front.

Customer interaction at a fast-food restaurant with a staff member pointing and explaining menu options to patrons.Mr. and Mrs. Lindemyer and the unidentified Smoothie King employee telling them to leave. Mr. Lindemyer’s sweatshirt is visible in the center image.

In a stunning video recorded by Mrs. Lindemyer, a young woman, who appears to be a manager of the Smoothie King in Ann Arbor, Michigan (home to the far-left University of Michigan), can be seen arrogantly attempting to explain away the unlawful actions of another employee working behind the counter with her who refused to provide service to him because his hoodie sweatshirt bears the name of President Trump.

The unidentified intolerant woman (supervisor?) working behind the Smoothie King counter, who appears to have assumed the role of store manager for the purposes of arguing why it’s okay to refuse service to a customer because he doesn’t align with their political views, believes she has the right to to ignore his right to free speech because in her intolerant mind, its okay to discriminate against a customer as long as it’s against a President Trump supporter.

Watch the interaction unfold here:

In what can only be explained as another unhinged liberal suffering from what many believe is an actual psychological condition that causes individuals to behave in a completely irrational way when confronted with someone who doesn’t align with their leftist viewpoints, the Smoothie King employee actually posted a video of herself refusing Mr. Lindemyer service, telling him it is making her fellow employee “uncomfortable” serving him with the President of the United States name on the front of his sweatshirt.

The Gateway Pundit has been in communication with Erika. She and her husband have filed a police report and have also hired a lawyer who, according to Mr. Lindemyer, advised them to hold off on speaking to us for now. We plan to get more details about the incident from her later today and will update this story as soon as we have more information.
