A shooting near a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Aurora, Colorado has left a woman injured and led to the detention of one suspect, according to authorities.

A police spokesperson revealed to Fox News that the altercation occurred Thursday night. The woman sustained injuries, which were fortunately not life-threatening. The suspect, a male, was apprehended shortly after the incident, which took place outside the facility’s premises.

Andrea Loya, who serves as the executive director at Casa de Paz—a nonprofit dedicated to assisting individuals recently released from ICE custody to reconnect with family—shared with The Denver Post that the shooting unfolded just after the conclusion of a routine protest held outside the facility.

Representatives from the media have reached out to the Department of Homeland Security to request additional information on the incident.

Loya told the newspaper that a staff member who was on a call with advocates reported hearing screams after learning of the shooting around 7:40 p.m. local time.

An Aurora police spokesperson also told The Denver Post that the person who was detained for questioning is “potentially a suspect.”

The shooting happened near the 3100 block of Nome Street, according to the newspaper.

It comes as the FBI is also investigating gunfire that riddled the windows of an Arizona ICE center earlier this week.

Video from FOX 10 Phoenix showed the damage after one or more unidentified people fired multiple rounds at the building.

The FBI’s Phoenix Field Office said it is investigating that shooting, which happened Tuesday afternoon at the Enforcement and Removal Operations building on North Central Avenue in Phoenix.

No injuries were reported, and no arrests have been announced as of Friday morning.

Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin will unveil fresh measures to tighten election security, responding to recent revelations that federal authorities discovered at least 278,000 noncitizens on US federal election voter rolls.

During an 11 a.m. news briefing, Mullin will discuss the Trump administration’s strategy for safeguarding American elections. This follows President Trump’s primetime address, where he spotlighted the inherent weaknesses within the US voting system.

“American leaders should only be chosen by American voters,” Mullin emphasized in his announcement on X, previewing the upcoming briefing. President Trump’s speech corroborated The Post’s investigation regarding the unlawful voter registrations, suggesting the actual figure might be significantly larger.

He further claimed, “Due to some states dominated by Democrats withholding their voter files, the real count is likely much more substantial. Still, our restricted analysis has uncovered over a quarter million foreign nationals improperly registered to vote.”

The staggering figure surfaces from a DHS report, which President Trump cited as evidence of the continuing vulnerabilities plaguing American elections.

Trump further ordered DHS “to notify every state about non-citizens on their voter rolls and direct them to remove all ineligible voters from the lists immediately.”

It is the highest-ever publicly reported in US history, but a source familiar with the information told The Post on Thursday it remains unclear how many of those registrants may have voted illegally.

Shortly after The Post first revealed on Thursday that DHS found 278,000 noncitizens on voter rolls,  Fox News Digital reported that DHS had sent letters on Friday to officials in California, New Jersey, Nevada and Pennsylvania, alerting them to an estimated 256,000 noncitizens registered to vote in their states — the majority of whom were in the Golden State.

US law holds that it is illegal for non-citizens to vote in the United States, punishable by a year in jail and a fine — but ultimately states shoulder the burden to verify a voter’s eligibility.

The president used the information and other election-related revelations to help pitch action on the SAVE America Act — which would require proof of citizenship to vote and other election reforms, but has long lingered in Congress.

Republicans have repeatedly tried to jam the bill — considered Trump’s top legislative priority this year — through the Senate, but have consistently failed due to a Democratic filibuster.

Trump in his speech asked Americans to call on their lawmakers to pass the legislation.

It comes after the Department of Justice last week sent letters to elections officials across the country warning they “could be criminally prosecuted for aiding noncitizen voting” if such ballots are counted in an election.

The Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 was signed into law by Democratic former President Bill Clinton and criminalizes noncitizen voting.

Millions of Americans are grappling with severe air quality concerns as smoke from Canadian wildfires envelops parts of the United States, creating conditions that rival the health risks of smoking twelve cigarettes daily.

This alarming development has led to major cities such as Chicago, Detroit, Washington, and New York being labeled as the most polluted urban centers globally as of Friday.

The National Weather Service has responded by issuing air quality alerts that span 16 states—from Minnesota and Illinois in the Midwest all the way to New York, New Jersey, Maryland, and Virginia on the East Coast.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has tagged the air quality as ‘hazardous’ from northern Minnesota down to Columbus, Ohio, marking the highest level of air quality warning the agency can give.

This influx of smoke stems from hundreds of wildfires raging across Canada, predominantly in Ontario, infusing the air with fine particulate matter known as PM2.5, which poses significant health risks.

These are toxic compounds typically created by burning wood or industrial pollution, which are small enough to penetrate human tissue and cause severe breathing issues or even death among people with heart and lung disease.

Health officials have noted that breathing in PM2.5 in the amounts currently seen in Detroit (292.6 µg/m³) on Friday equates to smoking more than 13 cigarettes in a single day.

According to live air quality-tracking website IQAir, Chicago’s air is currently filled with more than 240 µg/m³ (micrograms per cubic meter) of PM2.5 pollution – the equivalent of smoking more than 10 cigarettes in a day.

Berkeley Earth, a nonprofit research organization known for analyzing climate and air quality data, estimated that breathing air with 22 µg/m³ of PM2.5 pollution for one full day has roughly the same long-term impact as smoking one cigarette.

Dr Jonathan Tan from the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia told AccuWeather: ‘When the AQI climbs into the 150+ range for a full day outside, that’s in the ballpark of [smoking] seven to nine cigarettes.’

Typically, the Air Quality Index (AQI) is measured on a scale from 0 to 500: ‘good’ (0–50) carries little risk, ‘moderate’ (51–100) may affect sensitive individuals, ‘unhealthy for sensitive groups’ (101–150) poses increased risk and ‘unhealthy’ (151–200) impacts everyone, limiting outdoor activity.

When outdoor air quality reaches the 300 to 500 ‘hazardous’ zone or surpasses that mark, the EPA warns that everyone should avoid all physical activity outside. As of 9am ET on Friday, both Detroit and Chicago had surpassed 380, according to IQAir.

Washington DC registered at 247, the third-worst polluted major city on the planet, and New York was fourth at 165 – all in the unhealthy to very unhealthy ranges.

The growing plume of pollution-filled smoke has been blamed on Canada’s lack of fire management services, which has now let roughly 800 wildfires burn through over two millions acres of land throughout the country this year.

Dan DePodwin, AccuWeather’s vice president of forecasting, told the Daily Mail: ‘Because a lot of Canada is very rural, in many parts of the country, they don’t actively fight fires, because there is very little to no population nearby.’

‘So, the fires burn until they go out themselves, or they do minimal fire suppression. So that is part of it, that is occurring here,’ he continued.
