Montel Williams attempted to paint suspected assassin Tyler Robinson as an emotionally-driven “love-torn child” who felt like killing conservative commentator and Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk was his only option. Williams joined host Abby Phillip and a panel of other commentators on CNN’s “NewsNight” to discuss the still unfolding story about Robinson, his gender-transitioning live-in boyfriend, and the text messages the two exchanged after Robinson allegedly shot Kirk at Utah Valley University — and he argued that Robinson likely shot Kirk out of desperation because of his views on the relationship in which he was involved. WATCH: WATCH: Montel Williams on CNN Thunderdome says the suspect in the Charlie Kirk assassination was “a love-torn child” likely in the throes of “his first real relationship and someone was disparaging the person he loved” and thus not “motivated politically”…. “There are people… pic.twitter.com/hSuDLIfriw — Curtis Houck (@CurtisHouck) September 17, 2025 “There are people who are trying to pigeonhole this as a leftist thing and a Right thing, and what we’re really talking about — hear me, because I’m going to throw you when I say this, we’re talking about a love-torn child, a kid,” Williams said despite the fact that Robinson is 22 years old. “This is probably his first real relationship. And somebody was disparaging the person that he loved.” “He sat on that building for 30 minutes before he took the shot. Why do you wait until the first word trans came up? Then he took the shot,” Williams said, arguing that Robinson had been listening to Kirk’s event live and had waited until the first mention of the word “transgender” intentionally. “I think he could hear it.” Williams went on to say that he believed the shooting had been rooted in emotion rather than politics, failing to acknowledge that the two can indeed intersect. “I think he also — I don’t believe he was motivated politically. I think this was motivated emotionally. I think this was an emotionally stunted person who literally, when I say it this way, just hear me, tried to defend his significant other, not trying to defend some ideology.” Williams’ assessment came just hours after ABC reporter Matt Gutman took a wave of backlash for saying that the texts between Robinson and his boyfriend — which appeared to include an admission of guilt as well as detailed information about the weapon he allegedly used and where he left it — were “very touching” because Robinson also used the phrase “my love” when addressing his partner. Gutman later apologized on X.

The Trump administration’s mass deportation campaign is surging, with more than 389,000 illegal immigrants already removed from the United States, The Daily Wire has learned. As of Tuesday, the feds had also arrested more than 415,000 illegal immigrants, Assistant Homeland Security Secretary Tricia McLaughlin told The Daily Wire.

While the latest deportation numbers outpace the previous fiscal year — when 271,000 illegal immigrants were removed from the United States — they still fall short of the administration’s goal of carrying out 1 million deportations each year.

Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons recently told The Daily Wire that the agency is likely to meet its goal with the help of the administration’s efforts to push illegal immigrants to self-deport. “I think we’re going to see our number, definitely with the CBP Home app and those that decided to leave on their own,” Lyons said. Still, Lyons acknowledged that liberal judges “opining” from the bench have successfully created “roadblocks” that are “impeding how we’re doing our law enforcement mission.” “Every day it seems like we have some type of adverse decision that’s going to affect how we’re doing our job,” Lyons said. Brandon Bell/Getty Images The Trump administration has offered to pay for the commercial flights of illegal immigrants who opt to leave the United States, handing them each an additional $1,000 bonus for choosing to depart. Thus far, 1.6 million illegal immigrants have departed the country on their own, according to DHS. “After successfully ending the invasion of our country and securing our southern border, President Trump established the visionary Project Homecoming in May to create a smooth, efficient process for illegal aliens to return home,” McLaughlin said, referring to the administration’s push for illegal immigrants to self-deport. “By using the CBP Home App, illegal aliens will receive a complimentary one-way plane ticket home, a $1,000 exit bonus, and forgiveness of any fines previously assessed for failure to depart. Tens of thousands of illegal aliens have utilized the CBP Home app, and 1.6 million illegal immigrants have left the United States population since January 20,” she added. The Trump administration in recent months has deployed additional ICE officers and agents to Chicago in what has been dubbed the “Midway Blitz,” along with Washington, D.C., and Memphis, as part of a massive crime crackdown.

There’s a lot to look forward to when you move out of your parents’ home for the first time. For many people, that happens when they head off to college. That was the case for Abby Porter, whose college is located many miles away from where her parents live. Much of the decor in her carefully decorated dorm room is new… but who says you can’t take pieces of home with you? Abby’s beloved childhood stuffed animal is still by her side. Well, at least it was supposed to stick with her. After recently visiting her parents, Abby totally forgot her adorable leopard stuffy. While she says she wasn’t “devastated or anything,” she did mention to her boyfriend that she was “a little sad about it.” But for her boyfriend, Davis, that was enough to warrant quite a big surprise… TikTok The very next day, Davis drove all the way back to Abby’s parents’ house. Best of all, he didn’t simply return with the stuffed animal in hand. On the contrary, he made a whole day of it, sending Abby photos of the adventure he and the stuffy were going on together. “It was a very big trip for him!!” Davis wrote in one of his texts. “He wanted a snack when we stopped for gas so I let him get one.” TikTok Boyfriend Melts Everyone’s Hearts by Documenting His Journey to Retrieve His Girlfriend’s Childhood Stuffed Animal Davis wasn’t exaggerating when he said that this trip was big for the stuffed animal. In one of his texts, we learn that Abby’s college is in an entirely different state than the one she grew up in. So, naturally, the moment below simply had to be documented. TikTok Finally, it seems that the stuffed animal and Davis stopped by his own place before finally reuniting with Abby. What an adventure! And what a sweet way for Davis to show Abby how much he cares. It’s no wonder she’s using this story to tell others: “DO NOT SETTLE.” “Just wanted you to know how much I love you,” Davis wrote of why he did all of this for Abby.
