Trump to pay respects after Secret Service agent’s death in Scotland
WASHINGTON (CBSNewYork/AP) — Mayor Bill de Blasio and his security detail violated both Mexican and U.S. immigration laws by crossing the border on foot during a visit near El Paso, Texas, U.S. Customs and Border Protection alleges in a letter obtained by The Associated Press. The mayor’s office flatly denied the allegation. De Blasio, a fierce critic of the Trump administration’s immigration policies , went to the Texas border with about 20 other mayors from around the country on June 21, the day after President Donald Trump signed an order stopping family separations at the border. “Every country needs reasonable law enforcement on their borders. ICE is not reasonable law enforcement. ICE is broken, it’s divisive and it should be abolished,” the mayor tweeted last month . More than 2,300 families were separated as a result of the administration’s zero-tolerance policy, which criminally prosecutes anyone caught crossing illegally. The mayors said Trump had failed to address a humanitarian crisis of his own making.

The New York Police Department runs de Blasio’s security detail. According to the letter, a uniformed Border Patrol agent noticed a group on the Rio Grande River flood plain south of the Tornillo, Texas, Port of Entry, taking photos of the holding facility. The agent asked if anyone from Border Patrol or public affairs was there to authorize their presence. A New York Police Department inspector said no, according to the letter, and when the agent asked the group how they arrived, they pointed to Mexico. The agent told them they’d crossed the border illegally and asked them to remain there while he got a supervisor and took them to an official crossing for an inspection per federal law, according to the letter. But the group disregarded the order and drove back to Mexico, according to the letter. However, de Blasio said Wednesday the border agents let him cross and called the charges “absolutely ridiculous.” “We were told where the border line was, and we respected it. We came back the exact same way, both times showed passports,” he said. “At no point did we disregard any instructions from federal authorities, period.” De Blasio spokesman Eric Phillips said the group did nothing illegal and had approval to be there. “The mayor crossed the border with the direct approval and under the supervision of the border patrol supervisor at this port of entry,” Phillips said in an email Tuesday night to the AP. “Any suggestion otherwise is a flat-out lie and an obvious attempt by someone to attack the Mayor because of his advocacy for families being ripped apart at the border by the Trump Administration.” Phillips had posted tweets of the mayor’s visit on June 21.

Gomez also raised another issue about the mayor putting his security detail in a tough spot. “It’s not to the NYPD to determine which is the border. The NYPD’s jurisdiction is obviously within the confines of the five boroughs of the city of New York,” he said. “It shouldn’t be up to them to discern and educate the mayor of New York as to where the border between the U.S. and Mexico is.” A spokesperson for the Border Protection had no comment. The letter was sent June 25 by Aaron Hull, the chief patrol agent for the Border Patrol’s El Paso Sector to New York Police Department Commissioner James O’Neill . The mayor blamed the letter on politics and his disagreements with the Trump administration. An NYPD spokesperson told Kramer that O’Neill reviewed the letter and will not take action against any of the NYPD officers involved.

L.A.’s newest Laker officially signed his new four-year, nearly $154-million contract Monday night alongside his agent Rich Paul and Lakers General Manager Rob Pelinka. But before putting pen to paper, he sent fans into a frenzy by hinting on Twitter that he could make an appearance at Blaze Pizza’s Culver City location. Haven’t been to a pizza party in a minute Culver City? https://t.co/1QxgALyekK — LeBron James (@KingJames) July 9, 2018 The chain had announced last week that it would celebrate James’ decision to join the Lakers by offering free pizza at 50 of its Southern California locations from 2 to 5 p.m. Tuesday. James is an investor in the chain, and has previously gone undercover at its Pasadena store. This spot is right up the street from me, & this it looks like. It's a pretty small location, and there are gonna be Laker fans outside pounding on the windows like The Walking Dead if they don't have their security right.

But that hasn’t stopped die-hard fans like Janet Raines from staking out a spot outside the store, hours before it even opened. “It’d be just the opportunity of a lifetime, you know, shake his hand and to meet him,” she said. And even if he doesn’t end up showing up — at least there will be free pizza.
