Man accused of secretly filming women during sex: Scottsdale PD
The Brief Scottsdale Police have announced the arrest of Julian Nixon. Nixon is accused of unlawful recording and voyeurism. The suspect is accused of secretly recording women during sex. EDITOR'S NOTE: Scottsdale Police initially said their Special Victims Unit found "over 400 videos related to [Julian Nixon] having sexual relations with several females," but a later statement corrected the number to over 100. The original article, with the correction, continues below. SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. - Scottsdale Police say they have made an arrest in a case that involved allegations of women being secretly recorded during intimate moments. What we know Court documents related to the case identified the suspect as 43-year-old Julian Burne Nixon. Nixon was arrested on July 30. Dig deeper Per court documents, Scottsdale Police received a report on April 17 of an unlawful recording that happened at Nixon's home. The person who reported the incident was identified as a victim. "The victim reported that her now ex-boyfriend, (the suspect), had three Apple iPhone boxes set up pointing towards the suspect's bed in his one-bedroom apartment," read a portion of the documents. Investigators note that Nixon's ex-girlfriend, while giving a description of the boxes and where they were located in the bedroom, was not able to look into the phones to discover the contents inside. "After seeing the phone, she confronted Julian via text message, who admitted to secretly recording them having sex," read a portion of a statement released by Scottsdale Police. "He stated he records just in case a female attempts to say she was sexually assaulted, or something was done without her consent. [Nixon] insisted the recordings were deleted." On May 7, court documents state that detectives executed a search warrant for Nixon's electronics at his apartment. "During that contact with the suspect, post-Miranda Rights, the suspect admitted to surreptitiously recording an unknown number of women he met on dating application platforms while he completed sexual acts with him," investigators wrote. "Per the suspect, his reason for the recordings was to protect himself if the women claimed any abuse, such as rape." Officials said Nixon did not wish to show detectives the devices and the videos at first, saying he will "get rid of them." "When he was advised that it was a crime to record those women unlawfully and have possession of them, the suspect [admitted] knowing what he did was wrong," court documents state. Police said it was later discovered that Nixon "had videos dating back to potential victims from 2016-2025." "Under his Apple Photos album labeled "alfredcamera," it had 110 videos that showed a long-standing activity video devices being surreptitiously set up in multiple locations within the suspect's residence (living room and bedroom)," investigators wrote. Investigators said multiple women who did not know one another were identified, and four of them said they "met the suspect on dating applications or group meet ups for singles." They also say two women have not been identified. What Nixon Said To Police According to investigators, Nixon admitted during an interview to recording women, but said he didn't make the recording for sexual pleasure, and that the videos were deleted. "At [that] time, [Nixon] was not arrested, as SVU had not yet seen any of the alleged recordings," read the statement. What's next Nixon is accused of a total of 12 counts of felony unlawful recording and 12 counts of voyeurism. Per court documents, a judge has set a $75,000 bond for Nixon, and should he make bond, he is required to submit to electronic monitoring, curfew restrictions, and a ban on using the internet except at work, for work purposes, among other conditions. A preliminary hearing has been scheduled for Aug. 8. Solve the daily Crossword

ICE says it has made tentative job offers to more than 1,000 as hiring ramps up
WASHINGTON (AP) — The agency responsible for carrying out President Donald Trump's mass deportations agenda says it has already made tentative job offers to more than 1,000 people as it ramps up hiring following the passage of legislation earlier this month giving the agency a massive infusion of cash. The agency's spokeswoman, Tricia McLaughlin, said in a statement Thursday that the offers had been made after July 4. That's when Trump signed into law a broad package of tax breaks and spending cuts that also included about $170 billion for border security and immigration enforcement, spread out over five years. 'ICE has already issued over 1,000 tentative job offers since July 4. Many of these offers were to ICE officers who retired under President Biden because they were frustrated that they were not allowed to do their jobs,' she said. 'Now under President Trump and Secretary Noem, ICE is excited to get back to work to remove rapists, murderers, gang members and pedophiles from our communities.' The budget is multiplying exponentially ICE is the key agency responsible for executing Trump's campaign promise of carrying out the largest deportation operation in history. The administration has been ramping up immigration-related arrests across the country. Stephen Miller, White House deputy chief of staff and main architect of Trump's immigration policies, has said ICE officers would have a target of at least 3,000 arrests a day, up from about 650 a day during the first five months of Trump's second term. That heightened enforcement has played out with arrests in immigration courts, worksites, neighborhoods and more. ICE is set to get $76.5 billion, nearly 10 times its current annual budget. Some $45 billion will go toward increasing detention capacity. Nearly $30 billion is for hiring 10,000 more staff so the agency can meet its goal of 1 million annual deportations. The White House has said ICE will grow from 20,000 employees to about 30,000. Earlier this week, ICE announced a recruiting campaign aimed at finding and hiring the deportation officers, investigators and lawyers it will need to meet that goal of 10,000 new staff. As part of that campaign the agency is offering an eye-catching bonus of up to $50,000 for new recruits as well as other benefits like student loan forgiveness and abundant overtime for deportation officers. At a time when the federal government has been firing federal employees left and right, the USAJOBS website where vacancies for federal jobs are posted has dozens of Immigration and Customs Enforcement jobs. Some are for the deportation officers responsible for finding and removing people from the country; investigators with Homeland Security Investigations, which helps investigate transnational crime, including immigration issues; and lawyers who represent the government in prosecuting immigration cases. Jobs to support the detention network are also in play But there are also other jobs that support the detention network that is being supercharged to carry out mass deportations: nurses and nurse managers, psychiatric care providers, auditors, field medical coordinators and more. The anticipated hiring boom has also raised concerns about whether standards will be lowered in order to meet the growing demand. The Border Patrol underwent its own expansion during the early 2000s — something that is often cited as a cautionary tale for the risks of quick hiring. To meet hiring goals, training and hiring standards were changed. Arrests for employee misconduct rose. McLaughlin rejected suggestions that the agency would lower recruitment standards. 'All new recruits must meet the same standards they always have. I know this may be shocking to the media, but many Americans want to serve their country and help remove the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens from our country,' she said.

Roy Cooper launches Senate bid for GOP-held seat The Department of Justice is likely digging into Sen. Adam Schiff's mortgage paperwork trail stretching back to a Maryland home purchase from the early 2000s as it weighs whether it has an airtight case to potentially prosecute the longtime political foe of President Donald Trump, according to a Cornell Law School professor. "The one thing they don't want to do is to bring a case that fails," William Jacobson told Fox Digital in a Zoom interview, referring to the DOJ potentially investigating Schiff's alleged mortgage fraud. Jacobson is a clinical professor and the Director of the Securities Law Clinic at Cornell. "Either it fails legally, or it fails in court. They don't want to lose that case if you're going against a major political opponent. And that's part of the calculation that will take place."…READ MORE.
