Cardi B sued by fan for assault, battery after viral 2023 microphone-throwing incident
Two years after Cardi B was accused of assaulting a fan with a microphone during a live performance, the rapper is reportedly facing legal repercussions for the viral incident. The concertgoer, a woman from Cleveland, Ohio, filed a lawsuit alleging assault, battery and negligence against the Grammy-winning rapper on Monday, July 21, according to Rolling Stone and Billboard. The woman's attorney, Cierra N. Norris, confirmed the litigation in a July 24 press conference. "It is quite the feat to take on someone that is known and loved like Cardi B," Norris told news cameras. "Thank God we are not in a court of public opinion, but we are in a court of law." In an Instagram post, also confirming her client's complaint, Norris wrote: "No one should be afraid to hold someone accountable just because they are famous," adding that the woman is going by the pseudonym Jane Doe because she is "suffering from mental health issues as a result of the incident" and wants to avoid "potential backlash." Drai's Management Group, LLC, the owner of the Las Vegas venue where Cardi's performance took place, is also being sued for its alleged failure "to intervene or de-escalate the incident," Billboard reported. USA TODAY has reached out to Norris and representatives for Cardi B and Drai's Management Group for comment. In July 2023, Cardi B made social media headlines after footage from her performance at Drai's Beachclub showed her throwing her microphone at an attendee. In the video, which racked up over 100 million views to date, Cardi retaliated when a concertgoer standing at the edge of the stage tossed the contents of a large white cup, splashing her face and soaking her orange swimsuit cover-up as she performed her breakthrough hit "Bodak Yellow." Norris, however, offered a different version of events, saying during the press conference that Cardi had asked fans to slosh their drinks, and that simply because she had reached her limit does not excuse the "assault" and "battery" the fan endured. Cardi B fan reports battery after rapper threw microphone at her in Vegas In videos, the rapper is seen subsequently berating the individual as security retrieved her microphone and appeared to remove the fan. Cardi later reposted another video of the incident shared by a fan account. After the jarring encounter, the unidentified fan filed a police report for battery. No arrests or citations were issued, according to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department. Norris, noting that the lawsuit is being filed years after the incident, said a friend of the fan had contacted her while she was still in Las Vegas, and that she had been the woman's lawyer since then. They wanted to due the litigation right, rather than capitalize on a "15 minutes" of fame, Norris argued. Cardi B's attorney criticizes Jane Doe lawsuit as 'financial shakedown' Doe claims Cardi B encouraged "light splashing from drinks" during her performance at Drai's Beachclub, according to Rolling Stone and Billboard. Additional social media footage shared at the time of Cardi's performance showed the rapper seemingly welcoming getting splashed by fans. "Give me water," Cardi said in one clip, after which fans splashed her backside. It's unclear whether the footage was taken before or after the face-splashing incident. The woman, "acting in accordance with the environment created by Cardi B's express words and conduct, and in a manner consistent with other attendees, splashed a small portion of her drink in Cardi B's direction," the lawsuit stated, per Rolling Stone and Billboard. "In apparent anger and without warning, Cardi B suddenly and forcefully threw her microphone directly at (Doe)." Cardi B's microphone from viral video placed in auction for $100K The aggrieved concertgoer said the incident caused her "severe emotional distress, shock, humiliation and physical injury," Rolling Stone reported. Additionally, Doe said the sale of Cardi B's microphone in an auction for nearly $100K "further publicized the incident and exacerbated (her) emotional distress." "Fame is not a license to harm," Norris said. "Just because Cardi B is one of the most loved entertainers in the world does not mean that she is free from accountability." In a statement to Billboard addressing the lawsuit, Cardi B's attorney Drew Findling slammed the woman's complaint as a "transparent and pitiful attempted financial shakedown." "The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department and the Clark County District Attorney's Office closed this matter for insufficient evidence a long time ago," Findling told the news outlet. "But apparently the opportunity to try to make money off of a celebrity was too much for some willing law firm to pass up."

ICE Plans to Track Over 180,000 Immigrants With Ankle Monitors: Report
ICE plans to expand its use of electronic surveillance of immigrants from about 24,000 people currently fitted with GPS ankle monitors to about 183,000 people, according to a report from the Washington Post. The move will continue to shovel money to the private prison industry, which has been making money hand over fist since President Donald Trump was inaugurated for a second time in January. ICE released an internal memo on June 9 about the so-called Alternatives to Detention program, which allows immigrants to remain out of jail or detention camps while their cases are heard. The memo ordered the roughly 183,000 adult migrants involved in the program, which often involves checking in with the courts and immigration officers, to be outfitted with monitors, according to the Post. Pregnant women would be required to wear a GPS wrist tracker rather than an ankle monitor, according to the new reporting. And while ankle monitors may sound preferable to getting locked up in some ICE detention facility, it's still a dehumanizing process. The ankle monitors are also known to leave bruising and rashes and reportedly have a terrible battery life, making them inconvenient for people trying to go about their day without being flagged as in violation of the terms of their release. As the Post notes, the tracking program is run by BI Inc., a subsidiary of GEO Group, which got its start in 1978 by making a tracking device for cattle. SmartLINK, which is a smartphone app that uses facial recognition to verify the identity and location of an immigrant in the program, is used in the vast majority of check-ins, though ICE doesn't seem to think that method is good enough, given the pivot to more ankle monitors. ICE didn't respond to questions emailed by Gizmodo on Thursday. The private prison industry was ecstatic after President Trump beat Kamala Harris in November 2024. GEO Group and CoreCivic saw their share prices soar after Election Day. GEO Group went from $14.18 on Nov. 4, the day before the election, to $26.48 just a couple of days after the election. Similarly, CoreCivic went from $13.19 to $23.94. GEO Group closed at $24.55 on Thursday, and CoreCivic closed at $19.97. GEO Group president and COO Wayne Calabrese said on an earnings call that he expected the incoming Trump administration to take a more 'expansive approach to monitoring the several millions of individuals who are currently on the non-detained immigrant docket,' according to HuffPost. 'We have assured ICE of our capability to rapidly scale up our capabilities to monitor and oversee several hundreds of thousands, or even several millions of individuals, in order to achieve the federal government's immigration law compliance objectives,' Calabrese said. The only big problem, as the Post explains, is that ICE wants so many new ankle monitors that GEO Group may not have the ability to scale up that fast, meaning the agency could court other vendors. Calabrese noted on the call that Republicans had previously floated the idea of monitoring 7 million immigrants in the U.S. with some form of monitoring, whether it was through ankle devices or cellphone surveillance. GEO Group donated $1 million to Trump's re-election campaign through a group called Make America Great Again Inc., according to OpenSecrets. The company contributed an additional $500,000 to Trump's inaugural committee, according to CREW. And it looks like they're going to get their money's worth.
