Spring Valley high school student detained by ICE after immigration hearing, dad says
Spring Valley high schooler has been in ICE detention for weeks, father says Spring Valley high schooler has been in ICE detention for weeks, father says Spring Valley high schooler has been in ICE detention for weeks, father says A high school student from Spring Valley is heading into his fifth week in an ICE detention center. Adam Pierre was leaving an immigration hearing in Lower Manhattan on June 4 when, his father and attorney say, he was surrounded by masked federal agents, handcuffed and taken away. His father, Dutan Pierre, was waiting for Adam outside. After five hours, he says he got a call that his son was not coming home. "He followed the lawful pathways" Pierre is a native of Haiti and a United States citizen. He sponsored his son, expecting fast approval because of his own status and the fact Adam is under the age 21. Pierre says Adam says no criminal history and is a good student who plays basketball and football. Vince Sykes, the family's attorney, says Adam entered the country legally. "He followed the lawful pathways," he said. "He went to his immigration court appearance. That's where it happened. That's where he was picked up." Sykes added, "[Adam] said the very first week, all he had was bread and water. That's all they gave them. He said that's since changed." Rev. Jean Claude Dorcelly says fear is palpable in Spring Valley, with some people in hiding, avoiding doctors, workplaces, schools and more. "They're scared to come to church," he said. Student missed finals, summer school deadline Sykes says his client is terrified. "I know it's very hard on him. I know this kid is going to be traumatized," he said. Adam's high school education is now stalled. He missed all his finals, and he was unable to meet a deadline to try to catch up in summer school. "If we had gotten him out, say, last week or whatever, he would have joined up on the summer school program," Sykes said. "I'm very bad ... I cannot sleep," Pierre said. "Give me my son back." Friday morning, CBS News New York emailed an ICE chief about the status of this case and requested an update from the Department of Homeland Security. Neither has responded at this time. Adam is one of several local students who have been taken into ICE custody. In early June, ICE agents detained an 11th grader from Queens outside a local courthouse during a scheduled immigration appointment, and in late May, a Bronx high school student was taken into custody following an immigration hearing.

Video shows good Samaritans stop assault on Brooklyn subway platform
Police say bystanders came to a 20-year-old woman's rescue after she was assaulted on a subway platform in Brooklyn. The incident was caught on video and has since gotten millions of views on TikTok. "I've never seen nothing like that in my life" It happened on a J train platform at the Norwood Avenue station Sunday morning. Witness Rondel Whitfield was on his way to church when he says he saw a woman screaming as a man grabbed her. "I had no other choice but to interfere to see what the situation was," Whitfield said. Video shows witnesses yelling at the man to let her go. "I said, 'Brother please, just let the lady go. You know what I'm saying? Let the lady go.' He's like no. He just started being real barbaric. Like, I've never seen nothing like that in my life," Whitfield said. Police say the woman managed to escape the man's grip as at least five people, including Whitfield, held him down. The good Samaritans stayed with the man, who police identify as 42-year-old Fredrick Marshall, of Queens. He has been charged with two counts of third-degree criminal possession of a weapon, third-degree assault and second-degree harassment. "You can't just watch and do nothing" The woman's mother, who doesn't want to be identified, was able to rush over and says Marshall didn't resist officers when he was later arrested. "She was just saying, 'Mom, he's trying to take me, he's trying to take me,' and I'm like trying to run to her as fast as I can, but when I got to the train station, the MTA clerk had her in the booth, safe," the mother said. The witness who took the video, which now has at least 5 million views on TikTok, told CBS News New York in Spanish, "There are still people with a good heart who help those in need. You can't just watch and do nothing. It could have been my sister, my mother." Police say the 20-year-old victim complained of shoulder pain and suffered minor injuries to her stomach and arms. Her mom says she's traumatized, but that she's since been able to go to work. For now, she expresses her gratitude. "I'm very, very, grateful for those that were there helping my daughter. I am so, so, so, so grateful 'cause if it wasn't for you guys, I wouldn't have my child today," the mother said.

Dramatic moment Sean 'Diddy' Combs fell to his knees after learning his fate
Twelve New York jurors gathered around 10:00 (14:00 GMT) on Wednesday in a wood-panelled courtroom to tell Sean "Diddy" Combs that they found him not guilty of running a criminal enterprise with employees, and sex trafficking his ex-girlfriends. The disgraced hip-hop mogul fell to his knees and buried his head in a chair at the defence table where he had just spent two months on trial for sex trafficking and racketeering. Before the verdict came down, Combs sat quietly in his chair, looking forward, wearing the same off-white sweater and pants he wore for much of his trial. The court grew quiet as the jury foreperson handed the verdict sheet to the court deputy. Then it was handed back to the foreperson. And they began to read. As the sound of the "not guilty" rung out in court for the first time, acquitting Combs of the most severe crime of racketeering, the rapper kept his head low. By the time the foreperson announced Combs was not guilty of sex trafficking, Combs had his head in his hands. The jury did find him guilty on the least severe charges of transporting people to engage in prostitution. As they confirmed their decision, Combs buried his face in his hands. A flurry of small celebrations followed for Combs, who has been in a federal jail in Brooklyn since September. He made a prayer sign with his hands to the jury, then turned around and made the same gesture to his family - twin daughters, sons and 85-year-old mother. He appeared to mouth: "I'm coming home." The moment seemed equally emotional for Combs' many lawyers, including Teny Geragos, seated next to him and wiping away tears with a tissue after the verdict was read. Combs' attorneys wasted no time in telling the judge that the verdict, reached after roughly two days of deliberations, meant Combs should be able to walk out of the Manhattan courthouse a free man that very day. His acquittal on the most serious charges meant he no longer needed to be jailed, his attorney Marc Agnifilo told the court, noting that his client's plane was inaccessible - chartered and in Maui. "Mr Combs has been given his life by this jury," he said. "He will not run afoul of anything this court imposes on him." Then, in the perhaps the most emotional gesture of the day for Combs, he appeared to express his gratitude by pressing his head into his chair at the defence table. He rose, clapping his hands loudly, to hug several of his lawyers. Many family members and supporters in the main courtroom and a packed overflow room joined him, cheering. Then, with one final hug to his lawyer and a wave to his family - blocked by a mass of people and court benches - he was escorted out of the court. The hip-hop mogul's homecoming hopes were later dashed as Judge Arun Subramanian denied him bail at another hearing on Wednesday afternoon. Outside the Manhattan court, there were repeated calls of "free Diddy" in a large crowd behind barriers. But he will remain behind bars until his sentencing later this year.
