Navy sailor vanishes without a trace as mother reveals concerning break in daily habit
The last known sighting of Angelina Petra Resendiz, 21, was around 10 p.m. in Miller Hall at Naval Station Norfolk, according to Virginia State Police.
Police are describing Resendiz's disappearance as critical, saying her health is at risk. Fox News Digital reached out to police.
Resendiz's mother, Esmeralda Castle, who lives in Resendiz's former home state of Texas, described her daughter as "loving" and "kind" in an interview with WVEC. She worked as a culinary specialist for the Navy, Castle said.
Castle added that Resendiz has not responded to calls or texts from her family, which is out of character.
"Her and my sister have a 400-day streak on Snapchat. Every single day she talks to somebody. She talks to family, or she will talk to a friend," Castle told WVEC.
The 21-year-old does not drive or have a vehicle, and she was reported missing after she failed to show up for work, according to WVEC.
"She just stopped existing Thursday. She's spent no money, made no calls."
"She disappeared," Castle told the outlet. "It's very hard to tell people that she's missing."
Resendiz is described as a Hispanic female standing 5 ft. 5 in. and weighing 110 lbs. She has brown eyes and black hair.
Authorities are asking anyone with information about her whereabouts to contact (877) 579-3648.

Texas police officer shot near ICE detention center as Trump officials promise zero tolerance
The Trump administration is taking a "zero tolerance" approach to attacks on law enforcement after a Texas police officer was shot outside a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention center. The message came after similar incidents in other cities amid backlash against President Donald Trump's immigration enforcement agency. An Alvarado, Texas, police officer was shot Friday night near the Prairieland Detention Facility, authorities said. "We are closely monitoring the attacks on DHS detention facilities in Prairieland, TX, and Portland, OR, and are coordinating with the [US Attorney offices] and our law enforcement partners," said Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche on X. "The Department [of Justice] has zero tolerance for assaults on federal officers or property and will bring the full weight of the law against those responsible," he added. In Alvarado, a suburb of Fort Worth, several suspects were arrested after an officer with the Alvarado Police Department was shot at around 11 p.m. while responding to reports of a suspicious person, FOX Dallas reported. When the officer tried making contact with the person, shots were fired and the officer was struck in the neck. The officer was flown to a Fort Worth hospital for treatment and was later released. Several armed suspects fled but were arrested with the help of the Johnson County Sheriff's Office and other authorities, the news station reported.

NORAD intercepts plane in Trump's Bedminster no-fly zone: 'No excuses'
A fighter jet scrambled by the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) intercepted a civilian aircraft Saturday afternoon after it entered restricted airspace over Bedminster, New Jersey, where President Donald Trump is spending the holiday weekend. The pilot flew into a temporary flight restriction (TFR) zone just before 2:40 p.m. ET, according to a NORAD statement. The aircraft was safely escorted out of the area after a standard "headbutt" maneuver was used to get the pilot's attention.

Trump admin expands efforts to strip naturalized Americans of citizenship
[Source] The Justice Department has issued new guidelines directing attorneys to aggressively pursue stripping citizenship from naturalized Americans who concealed crimes or posed national security threats during their naturalization process, a policy that could affect the nearly 25 million people. What you need to know: A June 11 memo from Assistant Attorney General Brett Shumate establishes multiple priority categories for citizenship revocation and instructs the Civil Division to 'prioritize and maximally pursue denaturalization proceedings in all cases permitted by law and supported by the evidence.' The policy focuses on individuals who 'pose a potential danger to national security, including those with a nexus to terrorism' and those who 'committed felonies that were not disclosed during the naturalization process.' The memo permits attorneys to target those facing 'pending criminal charges' that have not yet secured a conviction. Shumate outlined that the benefits include 'the government's ability to revoke the citizenship of individuals who engaged in the commission of war crimes, extrajudicial killings or other serious human rights abuses.' Pros and cons: Hans von Spakovsky of conservative think tank the Heritage Foundation defended the initiative, telling NPR, 'I do not understand how anyone could possibly be opposed to the Justice Department taking such action to protect the nation from obvious predators, criminals and terrorists.' Others, however, have expressed alarm over constitutional issues. Law professor and former U.S. attorney Joyce Vance cautioned that 'the provision is so vague that it would permit the Division to denaturalize for just about anything,' potentially targeting 'troublesome journalists who are naturalized citizens' or 'students.' The administration's approach has drawn political attention, with President Donald Trump recently saying he will 'take a look' at potentially deporting Elon Musk — who has been critical of his recent 'One Big Beautiful Bill' — remarking that 'we might have to put DOGE on Elon.' Broader implications: The policy marks a substantial escalation from earlier initiatives, including Operation Janus launched under the Obama administration, which identified hundreds of immigrants who had been ordered deported but became U.S. citizens under another identity. The administration has already succeeded in one case against Elliott Duke, a British-born Army veteran convicted of distributing child sexual abuse material, who now lacks citizenship in any country.
