No end in sight after first day of federal government shutdown

Oct. 1, 2025, 10:41 PM EDT / Updated Oct. 1, 2025, 10:54 PM EDTBy Babak DehghanpishehThe Israeli navy on Wednesday intercepted an aid flotilla bound for Gaza that was being closely watched around the world through its social media posts, according to activists within the flotilla. The Global Sumud Flotilla is made up of about 50 boats and 500 activists, including the prominent environmental campaigner Greta Thunberg. The press officer for the flotilla, Hasina Kathrada, said nine ships had been intercepted by early Thursday local time. “Prior to illegally boarding the ships, it appears as though the Israeli naval vessels intentionally damaged ship communications, in an attempt to block distress signals and stop the live-stream of their illegal boat boarding,” the press office for the flotilla said in a statement. “In addition to the boats confirmed to be intercepted, live-stream coverage and communication has been lost with multiple other boats.”The fleet has been beset by a number of incidents, including explosions, harassment by drones and jamming of communications, which activists say appeared to have been attempts to hinder the ships’ movements.The goal of the activists has been to deliver a symbolic aid package and send a message by breaking through the Israeli naval blockade and getting to the Gaza Strip. Greg Stoker, an American veteran aboard one of the boats, said around a dozen naval vessels with their transponders off had approached them while they were about 70 or 80 nautical miles from the Gaza coast. “They are currently hailing our vessels, telling us to turn off our engines and await further instructions, or our boats will be seized and we will face the consequences,” Stoker, wearing a red life jacket, said in a shaky video posted on Instagram.A video posted on a Telegram media account associated with the flotilla appears to show one of its ships being sprayed with water with an on-screen caption saying the vessel is being “water canoned.” Another post on the Telegram channel said one of the ships had “been deliberately rammed at sea.”The Israel Defense Forces did not immediately respond to a request for comment.The Israeli Foreign Affairs Ministry posted on X that the only purpose of the flotilla was “provocation.” “Israel has informed the flotilla that it is approaching an active combat zone and violating a lawful naval blockade. Israel reiterated the offer to transfer any aid peacefully through safe channels to Gaza,” the post said.

The flotilla was intercepted as Israeli forces continue their devastating assault on Gaza City, where scores of people have been killed in recent days and hundreds of thousands have been displaced. Deaths from starvation have also continued to rise, according to Palestinian health officials.Israel launched its offensive in Gaza after the Hamas-led attacks on Oct. 7, 2023, when 1,200 people were killed and around 250 were taken hostage, marking a major escalation in a decadeslong conflict.In the nearly two years since, Palestinian health officials say, more than 65,000 people have been killed in Gaza, including thousands of children, while much of the enclave has been reduced to rubble.The boats in the flotilla were sailing in international waters north of Egypt on Wednesday and had entered what activists and others called a “danger zone” or “high risk zone.” While it is still in international waters, it is an area where the Israeli navy has stopped other boats trying to break its blockade in the past and which the flotilla has been warned not to cross.The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea stipulates that a state has jurisdiction only up to 12 nautical miles from its shores. In general, states don’t have the right to seize ships in international waters, though armed conflict is an exception.People whom the IDF detained from Gaza-bound flotillas this summer were detained only a few days, but this time could be different, said Miriam Azem, the international advocacy coordinator for Adalah, a human rights organization and legal center. “We’ve seen a few threats by officials that this time around we might be looking at more prolonged detention. All of these threats are completely unsubstantiated, but we wouldn’t put anything past Israeli authorities in this regard,” Azem said in a phone interview. Her group will most likely provide legal representation for many of the activists in the Sumud flotilla who could be detained.“The scale of this, of this flotilla, which really challenges the blockade in a way that hasn’t challenged the blockade before, it makes it really hard to predict how authorities will respond, and we’re not even past the point of all interceptions are over,” Azem said. “It’s still very much unfolding as we speak.”Babak DehghanpishehBabak Dehghanpisheh is an NBC News Digital international editor based in New York.The Associated Press contributed.

Nov. 19, 2025, 2:15 PM ESTBy Minyvonne BurkeA former Olympic snowboarder, who officials say runs one of the most violent drug-trafficking organizations in the world, faces new charges related to the murder of a federal witness in the case against him. Officials said Ryan James Wedding “placed a bounty” on the witness’ head “in the erroneous belief that the victim’s death would result in the dismissal of criminal charges against him and his international drug trafficking ring.” He allegedly used a Canadian website to post images of the witness and his wife to locate him, officials said at a Wednesday news conference. The witness was fatally shot at a restaurant before he could testify against Wedding. In an indictment unsealed on Wednesday, Wedding was charged with murder, witness tampering and intimidation, money laundering and drug trafficking. The new indictment also includes several other people, including a Canadian lawyer, who officials say were involved in the murder. The U.S. Department of State increased its reward from $10 million to $15 million for information that leads to the arrest and/or conviction of Wedding, who is on the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted Fugitive List. “You do not get to be a drug kingpin and evade the law,” FBI Director Kash Patel said at the news conference. “Make no mistake about it, Ryan Wedding is a modern-day iteration of Pablo Escobar; he’s a modern iteration of El Chapo Guzman. … He will not evade justice.” Akil Davis, assistant director in charge of the FBI’s Los Angeles Field Office, said officials believe he’s being protected by the cartel and others in Mexico. “Please understand that he might change his hair color, his appearance, and do anything to avoid capture,” he said. A surveillance photo of Ryan Wedding provided by the FBI.FBIAttorney General Pam Bondi said Wedding’s organization is responsible for importing about 60 metric tons of cocaine a year into Los Angeles via semi-trucks from Mexico.“He controls one of the most prolific and violent drug-trafficking organizations in this world,” she said. “He is currently the largest distributor of cocaine in Canada.” Over the course of the investigation, Bondi said more than 35 people have been indicted, numerous weapons have been seized, about $3.2 million in cryptocurrency has been recovered, and over $13 million in physical assets have been confiscated. According to the FBI, Wedding’s organization often resorted to violence, including orchestrating the murders of multiple people.Wedding, who represented Canada in the Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City in 2002, was charged in a September 2024 superseding indictment with attempted murder and other counts.
