They were tears of nothing. I now had to give in to a body that had loss of control.

DHS said he's a convicted thief with gang ties. If you commit a crime and you're illegal here, we. are going to pursue you. We're going to hunt you down. We'll arrest you and we will send you back. The shooting was captured on agents' body cameras and. there's a clamor here, David, for ICE to release the footage. But so far, officials have declined, saying it's. part of the investigation. Our chief investigative correspondent, Aaron Katersky. Aaron, thank you. Tonight the 911 calls that have just been made public.

Bay Area and Monterey. But you also notice yellow and green there in Utah, Arizona, parts of Nevada. That's still a level two out of four tonight for flash flooding.

You could anticipate another inch or more. falling on some burn scars. That could be problematic. Then those storms join another piece of energy and bring. damaging wind threat from Kansas City back to the. Texas Panhandle. We'll look for that to happen in the evening hours. And then that's all riding a ridge, where daily records. broke today in Nashville. They could do it every day through Thursday, David. Ginger Zee with us here tonight. Ginger, we'll see you first thing in the morning on GMA. Thank you. Tonight, we have learned that Pope Leo will undergo surgery. tomorrow after a nodule was found on his lung.

because of the war in Iran. Here's Mary Bruce. Tonight amid growing backlash, President Trump defending his. new deal with Vladimir Putin to suspend sanctions. and buy Russian diesel, with diesel prices. hitting record highs since Since Trump launched. his war on Iran. But economists say the president's deal with. Putin is unlikely to make a meaningful difference. in the price of diesel here at home. Ukrainian President Zelensky calls the agreement "weak".

It gives Putin money and he spends money only on this war. Kill us. Kill our children. Trump says Russia and Ukraine have both now agreed to stop. attacking each other's energy infrastructure, calling. it a "energy ceasefire". But Russia and Ukraine say there is no agreement, and on. both sides, strikes continue.

All right, Mary Bruce tonight. That's the Russian diesel deal. And Mary has more in another developing headline. breaking from the White House at this hour.

You can see the moment a missile slams into a packed airport. terminal in the capital Riyadh. The weekend attack by ram-backed Houthi rebels. in neighboring Yemen, killing 13 people, including. one American, hundreds more wounded. The Houthis striking the same airport multiple. times in recent days. President Trump now saying the U.S.

Meantime, back here in the U.S. and with the midterms now just weeks away, the Justice. Department sending federal agents into. the home of Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, who is up for reelection, a longtime target. of President Trump. Here's Jay O'Brien tonight. Tonight, the extraordinary move from the Justice Department. Just 22 days before the election, federal agents.

searching the home of a sitting congresswoman, Minnesota's Ilhan Omar, one of President Trump's. most frequent targets. I've always found her to be totally crooked, personally, but that has nothing to do with me. I think she's a terrible person, but that's. really up to the DOJ. The Justice Department traditionally avoids. taking public steps in political investigations. And, of course, there's a lot of other things. to look forward to. DC Home, where neighbors told us they banged on the door.

Federal investigators were here since the early hours of. the morning, parking a long line of police cars and evidence. van, pulling boxes out of the congresswoman's home.

law enforcement, adding, "I will not be silenced.". David, in the past, President Trump has called for Omar to. be investigated, jailed, even deported. And again tonight, the DOJ breaking with its own tradition, launching that high-profile search of her home just 22. days out from Election Day. Jay O'Brien, live in D.C. tonight, Jay. Thanks.
