Investigators in Providence, Rhode Island, recovered physical evidence — including live ammunition and DNA — from the scene of the mass shooting at Brown University, where two students were killed, and nine others were wounded. Providence Police Chief Col. Oscar Perez confirmed to Fox News on Wednesday that investigators are “in the process of examining that evidence,” adding, “And yes, we have some DNA that we manipulated and so it just progresses every day.” The development marks a major step in a case that has frustrated the public over the lack of information and footage on the person of interest. Perez told Fox News that the investigation “progresses every day with forensics, it progresses every day with witness statements, and so yeah, we’re just trying to find out, and we are going to do our best.” But at a press conference on Wednesday, the police chief admitted that the gunman “could be anywhere.” Christmas Sale – Get 40% off New DailyWire+ Annual Memberships Providence police and the FBI initially released grainy images and videos of a person of interest in connection to the shooting, sparking criticism from the public over the lack of security footage on campus. Authorities then released “enhanced” videos of the person of interest on Tuesday. The videos and photos show a person wearing a mask and a coat walking down streets in Providence before the shooting. Police also released a map showing the streets where the person of interest “is confirmed to have been present on the day of the incident.”   ENHANCED VIDEO: We are releasing an enhanced video of the person of interest in the Brown University incident.

Rhode Island Attorney General Peter Neronha said that the older building has “fewer, if any, cameras” compared to other buildings on campus because of its age. “So, there’s the back part of the building, the old part, and the front part, the new part,” Neronha said. “The shooting occurs in the old part towards the back.”

It’s not even 2026 yet, but President Donald Trump is already headed to the swing state of North Carolina on Friday in the next stop in his affordability tour, where he is expected to tout his economic record and work to boost Republicans ahead of next year’s midterms. The Tar Heel State faces a critical Senate race next year that will likely feature former Republican National Committee chair Michael Whatley and former Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper. North Carolina’s Senate race blew wide open when GOP Sen. Thom Tillis announced he would not seek re-election amid major disagreements with Trump. “We are extremely excited to welcome President Trump back to North Carolina tomorrow,” Whatley told The Daily Wire on Thursday morning. “Under Joe Biden and Democrats like my opponent, Roy Cooper, inflation skyrocketed in our state and across the country. President Trump has been working tirelessly every single day to bring prices down, rein in out-of-control government spending, and undo the damage caused by Democrats’ reckless economic policies.” Christmas Sale – Get 40% off New DailyWire+ Annual Memberships The Cook Political Report ranks the contest as a “toss-up” along with Senate races in Maine, Michigan, and Georgia. In a recent interview with The Daily Wire, Whatley said that voters’ wallets will be one of the most significant issues in the midterms. “We need the economy to be clicking. I think ultimately the economy is the most important factor when people vote, right? We need to create jobs, we need to raise wages, we need to lower costs,” he said earlier this month. “And the American people need to feel like we have a very strong economy. All signs right now are pointing towards us having a very strong, robust economy.” Cooper’s campaign told The Daily Wire that he “has spent his career fighting for North Carolina families by lowering health care costs and keeping their communities safe,” while accusing Whatley of spending “decades at the beck and call of DC politicians delivering for billionaires and special interests at the expense of the middle class.” As for the president, the first part of his tour was in Pennsylvania last week, and he also addressed the nation from the White House on Wednesday night with a focus on the economy. Most notably, he announced a $1,776 payout to qualifying American service members.

The Trump administration will begin efforts to denaturalize certain foreign-born individuals with United States citizenship over fraud concerns — marking a massive expansion of the federal government’s immigration crackdown. Personnel at United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) were issued new guidance on Tuesday to “supply Office of Immigration Litigation with 100-200 denaturalization cases per month,” according to The New York Times. “It’s no secret that U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services’ war on fraud includes prioritizing those who’ve unlawfully obtained U.S. citizenship — especially under the previous administration,” USCIS spokesman Matthew Tragesser said in a statement. “We will pursue denaturalization proceedings for those individuals lying or misrepresenting themselves during the naturalization process. We look forward to continuing to work with the Department of Justice to restore integrity to America’s immigration system,” he said. Since 2017, more than 120 such cases have been filed, according to The New York Times, citing Department of Justice data. The effort comes as President Donald Trump pushes accusations that Democratic Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar entered into a fraudulent marriage with her brother in order to obtain American citizenship. Trump’s Border Czar Tom Homan said last week that the Trump administration is investigating Omar for immigration fraud. Omar responded, saying administration officials are “sick” and that they would not find anything. Omar, who was born in Somalia, came to the United States in 1995 after her family was given asylum, according to Fox News. In 2000, she became a naturalized citizen. Omar had a religious marriage with Ahmed Abdisalan Hirsi in 2002. Despite that, she entered into a legal marriage with British national Ahmed Elmi while she continued having children with Hirsi, Fox News reported. Omar and Elmi reportedly separated in 2011 and formally divorced in 2017. She then married political consultant Tim Mynett in 2020. It is not clear if Omar will be the subject of USCIS’s new campaign of scrutiny. If she’s found to have committed the alleged fraud, Omar could face up to five years in prison, a $250,000 fine, and deportation, Fox reported. She may also face charges in Minnesota for allegedly violating the state’s incest laws, which could result in a 10-year prison sentence. In another recent example, the federal government stripped Salvadoran-born immigrant Jorge Antonio Graciano Lara of his United States citizenship, which he obtained by lying about his criminal past as a child sex offender. Between 2012 and 2016, Graciano Lara raped his stepdaughter, who was younger than 14 years old at the time, on “several occasions” at their home in Montgomery County, Maryland, while the child’s mother was at work, according to court documents. In 2015, he received his citizenship by lying about his crimes on his naturalization application and in an interview with a federal official.

Between October 2023 and September 2024, USCIS swore in more than 800,000 new citizens, according to the agency.
