A host of well-known performers, including Paul Brady, The Stunning, Jose Gonzalez, Paul Brady, Lisa Hannigan, The Wailers, Sultans of Ping, Fionn Regan, Hermitage Green, Joshua Burnside, Efa O'Neill, Nialler9, and many more entertained the crows as Lough Key Forest Park was transformed into a 'haven of creativity and camaraderie' over three nights. Co-founded by Mayo native and Irish Daily Mail Political Editor Craig Hughes, the festival was blessed with good weather and hosted a range of family friendly activities in the Roscommon countryside. Mr Hughes told the Irish Independent that 6,000 people attended the festival over the three days, making it the best-attended Night And Day Festival to date. The first Night and Day Festival took place in 2022 at Clonalis House in Castlerea. It moved to its current location at Lough Key Forest Park in 2023. The festival has grown into one of the biggest and most popular summer festivals in the region and draws attendees from across the country. 'What a truly incredible weekend we've had here at Lough Key Forest Park,' said one of the organisers. 'The energy, the talent, and the sheer delight on everyone's faces have been truly overwhelming. The Wailers' performance was the perfect culmination, leaving everyone with a feeling of exhilaration and warmth. We are immensely grateful to all the artists, our dedicated team, and, most importantly, our wonderful attendees who made this year's Night and Day Festival a resounding success.'

Viral witness videos show bystanders resisting ICE agents in Waltham arrest

Videos of an ICE arrest in Waltham continue to go viral as witnesses recorded ICE agents on popular Moody Street smashing a window and pulling a man from his truck. Recorded ICE arrests go viral Jose Gonzalez was on his way to work when he saw it happen. He stayed a block away and just watched. "No reaction. They just broke the window - you know how they don't care," he said. Gonzalez said roughly five to six people were trying to assist the man by verbally protesting while the arrest was happening. In a video recording, bystanders asked ICE agents what agency they were with but were ignored. By law, federal agents must identify themselves. The video was sent to Gonzalez by a friend. He posted it on social media. "Last I saw, it was like 22,000 people who saw it," said Gonzalez, "They are ruthless, just taking this guy, and they don't know if he is a legal resident or not." The ICE agents asked the man repeatedly to present identification, saying they would leave if he did. In the video, the man stays in his work truck with the door closed. "He has the windows shut. Not reacting to anything, cause I guess he knows his rights as well," said Gonzalez, "It definitely looks like the guys was going to work. Probably, I assume, he was getting his morning coffee." When the man doesn't get out of the car, an ICE agent smashes his window, pulls him from the car and begins to tie his hands. Bystanders can be heard giving the man advice and asking ICE agents if they think what they are doing is right. Worcester senator supports ICE "I have been on ride-alongs with them," said Massachusetts Senator Peter Durant. "They don't want to go pound the doors down. They don't want to go into a situation that's dangerous for them or the people inside." Durant oversees the Worcester and Hampshire districts. Recently, a woman in Worcester was taken into custody by ICE agents. The incident led to a confrontation between citizens and police, and two people were arrested for intervening. "This person was arrested back in February for assault and battery on their pregnant teenage daughter," said Senator Durant, talking about the person arrested by ICE. The Senator said if the person was a legal citizen, "we would be outraged! We would say this person needs to be held accountable. They need to be taken off the streets." He fears someone will get hurt as people attempt to intervene in situations. "To believe that they are going down the street just randomly grabbing people makes no sense whatsoever," said Senator Durant.
