A single gunshot was fired through a window of a clearly marked Republican National Committee office in Mohave County, Arizona Thursday night, @RNC officials confirm to @CBSNews.

Five or six volunteers with the GOP were inside hosting a virtual event -- no one is hurt.
This is not the first time campaign volunteers have been targeted.

In February, a New Hampshire man was arrested following the assault of a 15-year-old Trump supporter and 2 adults at a polling site during the #FITN primary.
UPDATE: Local police are now investigating an “aggravated assault and criminal damage” after an “unknown object” was thrown through the Republican Party field office window.

The Republican National Committee initially believed it was a gunshot.

New: U.S. Secret Service Acting Director Ron Rowe confirms to @CBSNews that July 13th was the first time that counter snipers were assigned to a 2024 campaign event by former President Donald Trump. Image
USSS Director Rowe also tells me USSS counter snipers did not have radio communications w/ local law enforcement.

Instead, local tactical teams *texted* U.S. Secret Service counter snipers pictures of Crooks at 5:45pm.

At that time, neither locals nor USSS knew Crooks had a gun
Rowe said at 6:11pm, a member of Trump’s protective detail contacted a counterpart with the Pittsburgh Field Office to ask about an earlier radio communication about local law enforcement working an issue near the perimeter. While he was on the phone, the first shots were fired.

Attorney General Garland: "The Justice Department remains committed to holding all January 6th perpetrators, at any level, accountable under law — whether they were present that day or were otherwise criminally responsible for the assault on our democracy."
ATTORNEY GENERAL GARLAND: "In 2021, the Department charged more defendants in criminal threat cases than in any year in at least the last five."
Attorney General Garland quotes the late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia to make his point: "As Justice Scalia noted in R.A.V. v. City of St. Paul, true 'threats of violence are outside the 1st Amendment' because laws that punish such threats “protect individuals..." [1/2]

THREAD — Reporters toured the temporary border facility in Donna, TX today.

The Biden admin allowed pooled coverage for the first time.

We saw a “pod” designed for 32 migrant children under CDC guidelines now holding 615.

The facility is at 1700% pandemic capacity.

📸:TV Pool Image
Unaccompanied migrant children ages 4 months - 9 years old are now being held in the recreational area around the clock because there’s no just room for them in the dormitory areas. ImageImage
The outdoor recreational area is being used to stage COVID testing before unaccompanied migrant children are transferred to HHS facilities.

We counted more than 50 COVID positive (and largely asymptomatic) kids waiting for their quarantined bus right next to a soccer game. Image
