A Cincinnati-based Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) supervisor is being held in Hamilton County Jail on $400,000 bond after allegedly strangling his partner. ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations official Samuel Saxon, 47, was arrested on Dec. 5 after police say he attacked a woman he lives with in their Corryville apartment. In court Monday, an officer testified that police have been called to the apartment roughly two dozen times in the last year and a half. Prosecutors also detailed a long relationship between Saxon and the victim that began when she was 18 years old and he was in his 40s. Court records state Saxon's arrest followed observations of bruising on the woman's neck and accounts from witnesses who said he put her in a chokehold in the apartment's hallway.

Bob Ferguson said at a news briefing. "These water levels have been historic, and they're going to remain very high for an extended period of time." President Donald Trump has signed the state's request for an emergency declaration, Ferguson said. An unusually strong atmospheric river dumped a foot (30 cm) or more of rain in parts of western Washington over several days and swelled rivers. No deaths have been reported, Ferguson said.

Without naming Owens, Erika Kirk jabbed at an unnamed person making "hundreds and thousands of dollars every single episode going after the people that I love." "My message to them is to stop"to stop," Kirk said, turning directly to the camera. As the segment ended, Kirk held up her late husband's new, posthumously published book and said its title, giving it an imperative intonation to reinforce the apparent message to Owens: "Stop, in the Name of God."
