Illinois woman Sunny Naqvi has been sued for $1 million for ‘false story’ about being detained by ICE.

A Wisconsin sheriff has now sued Sani Naqvi, an Illinois woman who claimed in March that she was detained by U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents at O’Hare International Airport and then taken to an ICE facility. The alleged detention made national headlines as Cook County Commissioner Kevin Morrison, a family friend, promoted the incident and called for his release. When he was released, the Department of Homeland Security released footage showing that Naqvi was allowed to leave the airport about 90 minutes after he landed and was never detained by ICE. Now Dodge County Sheriff Dale Schmidt has filed a defamation lawsuit against Naqvi and Morrison, saying the evidence shows their claims were false. Releasing videos, documents and text messages, Schmidt claimed that there is no verified evidence to support what Naqvi has claimed. “At no time was Sundas Naqvi in ​​the custody of the Dodge County Sheriff’s Office,” he said.

‘Sunny Naqvi checked into a hotel’

Sunny Naqvi’s family members raised concerns when his whereabouts were unknown, but now Schmidt claims there is evidence to show that Naqvi stayed at a hotel in Rosemont, Illinois, about three hours after landing at O’Hare on March 5. They also showed surveillance video that showed Naqvi was driven by an ex-boyfriend to Beaver Dam, Wisconsin and back to the Chicago area on March 7.The sheriff said the ex-boyfriend told them he gave Naqvi about $25,000 over a few weeks, which included his flight to Turkey.Schmidt said, “I don’t have any charges against her in Dodge County. My only recourse is to make sure the public knows she can’t do this.” He said Naqvi’s story has damaged the reputation of the agency. At the time, Naqvi’s family and lawyer had claimed that he was detained along with others due to his bizarre travel history. According to one account, the group which included Naqvi and three American citizens, including three Pakistani-origin green card holders, had originally planned to travel to India. But they could not travel beyond Türkiye and had to return to America. Upon his return, he was reportedly stopped and Naqvi’s lawyer claimed that he was placed in ICE custody. The family claimed they were held at the airport for 30 hours, then taken to a facility in Illinois, and then to Dodge County, Wisconsin. This last part is the foundation of the lawsuit but neither Naqvi nor Morrison have commented on the lawsuit. Naqvi’s record is not clean as he was convicted of lying about being a victim of sexual harassment. Cook County court records show Naqvi has been evicted twice in recent years. According to the Chicago Sun Times report, “In 2024, River North Apartment Complex said it owed more than $43,000 in rent and fees. Around the same time, JPMorgan said it owed nearly $15,000 in unpaid credit card debt.”

Australian actress Ruby Rose has alleged on social media that American singer Katy Perry sexually assaulted her in an incident that happened nearly 20 years ago. The claim was made in posts on platform threads and has not been tested in court.Rose, known for starring roles in the series ‘Orange Is the New Black’ and ‘Batwoman’, said the alleged incident happened at a nightclub in Melbourne, Australia, when she was 20. He wrote that he has not talked about this publicly for many years.Rose said: “I was only in my early 20s. Now I’m 40. It took almost 2 decades to tell it publicly… I told the story publicly but changed it to a ‘funny little addiction story’ because I didn’t know how else to handle it.”In her post, Rose said she had previously described the experience in a casual manner and at one point even referred to it as a “funny drunken story.” She later said that she has changed her view of what happened and now considers it a serious and painful experience.These posts went viral on social media. The allegation has not been independently confirmed, and any court proceedings related to the claim have not been publicly confirmed.Rose also suggested in her post that other people may have been present at the nightclub at the time, meaning there may have been witnesses. However, he did not provide public evidence to support the claim.

Katy Perry’s team responded

Katy Perry did not directly address the allegation in a personal statement. A representative for Perry denied the allegation and described it as “categorically false”. The representative also rejected the claim and said that the allegations are not true.He said: “The allegations being circulated on social media by Ruby Rose about Katy Perry are not only completely false, but dangerous reckless lies. Ms. Rose has a well-documented history of making serious public allegations on social media against various individuals, whose claims have been repeatedly refuted by the people named.”At present, there is no public record of any formal investigation or legal case related to the allegation. There is a dispute between the two parties on the basis of public statements.The story has attracted attention online because both men are celebrities. Ruby Rose has a public profile in film and television, while Katy Perry is a global pop artist.

A Florida man has been arrested after trying to trick a police officer with a fake AI-generated video showing a patrol car being vandalized.Authorities say 25-year-old Alexis Martinez-Arizala approached a deputy inside an Academy Sports store in Lake Mary and claimed that several people were breaking into the officer’s marked vehicle outside.To support his claim, he showed a short video on his phone showing the suspects entering the patrol car. However, when the deputy went out to investigate, there was no sign of any damage or theft.According to the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office, investigators later reviewed store surveillance footage and confirmed that no one had gone near the vehicle. The video was believed to be an AI-generated deepfake created to fake the incident.The false claim nevertheless triggered an actual emergency response, with deputies treating the situation as an active break-in.Police said Martínez-Arizala made the video in an attempt to gain attention online. He has approximately 220,000 followers on TikTok and regularly posts content related to AI-based pranks. He had earlier also uploaded at least two similar videos targeting police officers.He was later tracked down and arrested in Puerto Rico. He is expected to be extradited back to Seminole County, where he will be held on a $7,000 bond, authorities said.He now faces multiple charges, including fabricating evidence, making a false report to law enforcement and providing false information about a crime.Sheriff Dennis Lemma said this is a gross misuse of artificial intelligence: “The misuse of artificial intelligence to create deepfake videos is a growing concern, especially when it targets public safety professionals.”He added, “These fabricated videos can damage reputations, create unnecessary stress, and create real safety concerns for first responders serving our communities. As this technology becomes more accessible, we take these types of crimes seriously and will take action to protect those targeted in our community, including both private citizens and public safety professionals who work every day to keep our residents safe.“In Canada, YouTuber Faiq Ayoub was arrested after yelling “gun” in a crowded cinema, while TikToker Heston James is facing up to nine years in prison for a series of disruptive pranks in Arizona.

Bishop Barron breaks silence on Trump’s attack on Pope Leo XIV.

Minnesota Bishop Robert Barron, a member of Trump’s Religious Freedom Commission who has faced criticism in the past for his association with the Trump administration, broke his silence on President Donald Trump’s attack on Pope Leo XIV, saying the statements were inappropriate and offensive. Trump criticized the first US Pope in a lengthy Truth Social post on Monday, accusing him of being “weak on crime” and “terrible at foreign policy”. He said he “does not want a Pope who criticizes the President of the United States.” Trump said, “Leo should do his job as Pope, use common sense, stop pandering to the radical left and focus on being a great Pope, not a politician.”Following his tirade, Trump posted an illustration in which he appeared to look like Jesus healing a sick man. Pope Leo responded to the Truth Social outburst and said he has no fear of the Trump administration. “I have no intention of arguing with him,” Leo said.The US Conference of Catholic Bishops expressed dismay at Trump’s attack. The organization’s president is Archbishop Paul S. “I am disappointed that the President decided to write such derogatory words about the Holy Father,” Coakley said in a statement on social media. “Pope Leo is not his opponent; nor is the Pope a politician. He is a vicar of Christ who speaks for the truth of the gospel and for the care of souls.“Bishop Barron is considered MAGA-friendly. Recently he was criticized for not objecting to a comment during an Easter luncheon at the White House when televangelist Paula White-Cain compared Trump to Jesus Christ. Paula told the president that, like Jesus Christ, he was ‘betrayed and arrested and falsely accused’ and ‘because of his resurrection, you stood up.’ Trump standing behind him smiled and thanked him. Bishop Barron was present at this event and his silence was questioned. “It is the Pope’s prerogative to articulate the principles governing Catholic doctrine and moral life. With respect to the concrete application of those principles, people of good will can and do disagree. I would warmly recommend that serious Catholics within the Trump administration – Secretary Rubio, Vice President Vance, Ambassador Brian Burch and others – meet with Vatican officials so that a genuine dialogue can take place.” This is much better than statements made on social media,” Bishop Barron wrote Monday. Bishop Barron said, “I am deeply grateful for the many ways in which the Trump Administration has reached out to Catholics and other people of faith. It is a high honor to serve on the Religious Freedom Commission. No president in my lifetime has shown such dedication to protecting our first freedom. All that said, I think the President should apologize to the Pope.”
