DHS Responds to Arrest of U.S. Citizen That Attempted to Run Down CBP Agent

 

Our law enforcement officers are facing a 1000% increase in assaults against them as they carry out operations

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) confirms the arrest of 24-year-old Olivia G. Wilkins, a U.S. citizen, after she attempted to run over a Border Patrol Agent who was arresting illegal aliens.  

On August 25, 2025, United States Border Patrol (USBP) were assisting the Maine State Police (MSP) and the Knox County Sheriff’s Office (KCSO) regarding a commercial vehicle rollover accident, involving two illegal aliens in the U.S.

Jhoan Andres Ortiz-Calderon has a final order of removal from an immigration judge.

Victor Hugo Cardona-Calderon has a visa overstay and does not have a work permit.  

While escorting the two illegal aliens to the USBP marked government-owned vehicle, Wilkins, a bystander, began verbally harassing the officers. She then used her vehicle to drive at the group of law enforcement, squealing the tires and swerving, nearly hitting them. 

KCSO deputies pursued Wilkins, who subsequently crashed along the side of the road, and placed her under arrest. She was charged with aggravated reckless conduct, criminal threatening with a dangerous weapon, driving to endanger, hindering apprehension, obstructing government administration, and failure to stop for an officer. 

“On Monday afternoon, a woman deliberately attempted to run over a Border Patrol Agent. This incident comes just two weeks after a threatening letter with a white powdery substance was sent to an ICE office in New York City. Less than a week ago, a violent rioter was charged with assault in San Francisco after he threatened to stab an ICE officer and harm his family. Earlier in the week, there was a bomb threat at a Dallas ICE facility,” said a DHS Spokesperson. “These incidents come after months of smears and rhetoric by activists, politicians, and the media comparing ICE law enforcement to the Nazi Gestapo, kidnappers, and the Secret Police. This shameful rhetoric has fueled a culture of hate against law enforcement resulting in a 1,000 percent increase in assaults against them. All sanctuary politicians, activists, and the media need to turn down their temperature.” 

The following are some additional attacks towards ICE and federal law enforcement, perpetuated by toxic media rhetoric that demonizes our brave law enforcement who risk their lives every day to remove the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens:

MAYOR ADAMS APPOINTS DOUG LIPARI AS EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF OFFICE OF TALENT AND WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT, CELEBRATES HISTORIC INVESTMENTS IN WORKERS

 

Lipari Brings Over a Decade of Government Experience to New Role, Previously Served as Inaugural Executive Director of Office of Community Hiring  

Since Launching Community Hiring in 2024, Over $3.3 Billion in City Contracts Subject to Community Hiring Requirements, Unlocking Job and Apprenticeship Opportunities for Low-Income New Yorkers and NYCHA Residents 

Adams Administration Will Also Launch New Digital Labor Compliance Tool to Bolster Enforcement of Wage and Labor Requirements on Building Service and Construction Projects 

New York City Mayor Eric Adams appointed Doug Lipari as the executive director of the Office of Talent and Workforce Development (NYC Talent) and celebrated historic efforts by the Adams administration to create a more equitable New York City workforce. Lipari previously served as the acting executive director of NYC Talent as well as the executive director of the Office of Community Hiring (OCH) within NYC Talent. As executive director of NYC Talent, Lipari will help lead the city’s extensive workforce development system to prepare New Yorkers for and connect them to good-paying careers. Mayor Adams launched the Office of Community Hiring to work with contractors to identify promising local talent and create job and apprenticeship opportunities for low-income New Yorkers. Since launching in 2024, over $3.3 billion in city contracts have been subject to community hiring requirements, including construction and building services contracts that require a significant portion of labor hours be performed by people who live in New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) housing or in a ZIP code where at least 15 percent of the population lives below the federal poverty threshold. Finally, Mayor Adams announced a new digital tool that will track building and construction contracts with prevailing wage requirements, transitioning away from the city’s outdated paper-based process and allowing the city to better enforce wage and labor requirements. Mayor Adams’ appointment of Executive Director Lipari and his additional updates on workforce development efforts come in anticipation of National Workforce Development Month, a nationwide celebration held annually in September to highlight the importance of workforce development to both local cities’ and the nation’s economy.

“Making New York City the best place to raise a family means making sure that every New Yorker can find a good-paying job. From city agencies to private employers to job seekers, we’re helping align our city’s workforce development system, unlocking opportunity, and creating an economy where everyone can thrive,” said Mayor Adams. “There is no one better to continue leading these critical efforts than Doug Lipari. Doug has the experience, dedication, and skill to keep breaking down silos across our workforce development system and lead ambitious initiatives that help New Yorkers find a job. From making sure that low-income New Yorkers and NYCHA residents are able to find a good job through our Office of Community Hiring to helping lead project labor agreements that make sure New Yorkers are paid a fair wage, Doug has been on the frontlines of the fight for a more equitable economy for a decade, and I know he is the right person to help lead at this moment.”

“Making New York City the best place to live, work, and raise a family has always been the priority and North Star of the Adams administration,” said Deputy Mayor for Housing, Economic Development, and Workforce Adolfo Carrión, Jr.  “Doug Lipari’s dedication to that mission and successful track record overseeing the Office of Community Hiring make him the perfect leader to continue the great work at the Office of Talent and Workforce Development. I am excited to continue working with Doug in this new capacity and am confident that his leadership will continue to move this important work forward.”

“I am honored to lead the Office of Talent and Workforce Development on behalf of the City of New York and am grateful to Mayor Adams for his trust and ongoing commitment to the career success of all New Yorkers,” said NYC Talent Executive Director Lipari. “I’m excited to continue working alongside the dedicated NYC Talent team to deliver meaningful improvements across the workforce system, through close partnerships with industry, government, labor, nonprofits, education, and philanthropy, so that our local economy thrives.”

Mayor Adams originally created the Office of Community Hiring in 2023 to use the city’s purchasing power to bolster economic opportunity and connect city vendors with a pipeline of talent. Through community hiring, the city sets workforce goals for vendors to provide employment and apprenticeship opportunities for low-income individuals and those living in low-income communities. Since launching the office, 66 projects worth over $3.3 billion have been released with community hiring goals, helping connect low-income New Yorkers and NYCHA residents to a broad range of careers from construction to building services to social services and more.

Additionally, to help make sure that workers on city construction and building services projects are paid what they deserve, Mayor Adams announced a new digital tool that will allow the city to more effectively monitor labor and wage requirements, including New Yorkers contracted through community hiring. Starting next year, city agencies administering contracts with prevailing wage requirements will receive and analyze payroll records on a new digital platform, transitioning away from a paper-based process and bolstering the city’s efforts to track and enforce compliance. The digital tool will increase publicly available wage data through a public dashboard and enable the city to track community hiring goals on construction and building service projects.

NYC Talent works to align the city’s extensive network of agencies, employers, and educational institutions around shared priorities and better connect New Yorkers to good-paying careers. NYC Talent’s work includes:

• Implementing community hiring, which incorporates goals into city contracts to ensure that job and apprenticeship opportunities are made available to low-income New Yorkers, NYCHA residents, and those living in low-income ZIP codes. Once fully implemented, Community Hiring will be the nation’s largest program of its kind.
• Setting young people up for career success by coordinating and championing record investments across agencies in programs like the New York City Department of Youth and Community Development’s Summer Youth Employment Program and New York City Public Schools’ Summer Rising, as well as institutionalizing career-connected learning via initiatives like New York City Public Schools’ FutureReadyNYC and the CUNY Inclusive Economy Initiative, New York City Public Schools’ Summer Rising, as well as institutionalizing career-connected learning via initiatives like New York City Public Schools’ FutureReadyNYC and the CUNY Inclusive Economy Initiative.
• Strengthening partnerships with employers through a reinvigorated New York City Workforce Development Board and a new complementary advisory council to make sure the city’s talent development system is preparing New Yorkers for in-demand skills and occupations, with focused partnership and investment in critical economic sectors such as tech, health, and in other areas where careers will build a more future-focused, more resilient city and infrastructure.
• Making historic progress towards Mayor Adams’ moonshot goal of connecting New Yorkers to 30,000 apprenticeships by 2030, so that proven learn-and-earn models can support diverse, new sectors and occupations and create new good career pathways for students and young people.
• Connecting job seekers to career opportunities and working closely with public and private stakeholders to strengthen New Yorkers' access to workforce services through deeper community engagement, stronger interagency partnerships, and improved technology solutions, especially for job seekers who face historic employment barriers.

“The appointment of Douglas Lipari as executive director signals a continued commitment to advancing the mission of the Office of Talent and Workforce Development,” said Kathryn Wylde, president and CEO, Partnership for New York City. “We value our strong partnership with the city and are proud to collaborate in building a workforce system that is responsive to industry needs and expands opportunity for New Yorkers.”

“Doug Lipari is a proven leader who is deeply dedicated to connecting hardworking New Yorkers with good-paying, union careers, making him an incredible choice for executive director of the Office of Talent and Workforce Development,” said Gary LaBarbera, president, Building and Construction Trades Council of Greater New York. “As the Mayor’s Office unveils more plans to ensure that blue-collar workers, like our tradesmen and tradeswomen, are given fair and dignified opportunities to pursue the middle class, Doug will offer the leadership and counsel necessary to implement these tools effectively. The Building Trades congratulates him on this new role and looks forward to continuing our collaboration moving forward.”

“We’re proud to know and work with Doug and see this well-deserved recognition of his leadership,” said Grace C. Bonilla, president & CEO, United Way of New York City. “At a time when our city needs it most, Doug’s stewardship of the NYC Office of Talent and Workforce Development has been instrumental in helping New Yorkers achieve shared prosperity, a goal we share at United Way of New York City, as we unite the power of community with citywide possibility.”

About Doug Lipari

Before being appointed executive director of NYC Talent, Lipari was the inaugural executive director of the Office of Community Hiring team within NYC Talent, where he led the successful launch of Community Hiring. Lipari will continue to lead that work along with NYC Talent’s broader portfolio of strategic initiatives related to apprenticeships, industry partnerships, and addressing barriers to employment. Lipari also plays an instrumental role in negotiating the city’s Project Labor Agreements, which cover several billion dollars of city capital construction projects.

Before joining NYC Talent in 2023, Lipari was the deputy general counsel of the Mayor’s Office of Contract Services. Lipari has over a decade of city government experience and a clear understanding of the city’s role in driving economic mobility for New Yorkers. He holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from Duquesne University and a Juris Doctor from Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law.

Lipari will report to Deputy Mayor for Housing, Economic Development, and Workforce Adolfo Carrión, Jr..

Justice Department Files Motion for Summary Judgment in Challenge to New York’s “Climate Change Superfund Act”

 

The Justice Department’s Environment and Natural Resources Division (ENRD) filed a motion for summary judgment in its challenge to the State of New York’s “Climate Change Superfund Act,” which imposes $75 billion in liability on foreign and domestic energy companies for their alleged past contributions to climate change. The complaint was filed in May, along with a complaint against the State of Vermont for its similar statute, to advance President Donald J. Trump’s executive order  to protect American energy from state overreach.

As the Justice Department explains in its motion, “New York has declared war on those responsible for supplying our Nation with reliable and affordable energy, and it is trampling over federal law in the process.” Further, the motion says, “the Court should end New York’s lawless overreach by granting the United States’ motion for summary judgment, declaring the Superfund Act invalid and unenforceable, and permanently enjoining Defendants from taking any actions to implement or enforce it.”

“New York has overstepped its authority in trying to impose crippling financial penalties on the world’s largest energy providers,” said Acting Assistant Attorney General Adam Gustafson of ENRD. “Individual states have no authority to regulate nationwide and global greenhouse gas emissions. The courts must put a stop to New York’s brazen disregard of federal law, the Constitution, and binding precedent, not to mention our Nation’s energy needs.”

Chief of Staff and Senior Counsel John Adams and Counsel to the Assistant Attorney General Riley Walters of ENRD filed the motion.

Governor Hochul Directs Department of Environmental Conservation to Issue Drought Watch for 20 New York Counties

View Map of New York State Drought Conditions

Governor Kathy Hochul, with the New York State Department of Conservation, announced a drought watch has been issued for 20 New York counties. The action was taken after consulting with the State Drought Management Task Force and federal partner agencies. New York State is encouraging residents in affected counties, particularly those dependent on private groundwater wells, to conserve water whenever possible during the coming weeks.

“Even with some recent rain, it wasn’t enough to reduce the dry conditions we’ve seen most of the summer this year,” Governor Hochul said. “In order to prevent a more severe shortage should conditions worsen, we could see local water restrictions in the Long Island, Adirondack, and Great Lakes regions of the state.”

A watch is the first of four levels of State drought advisories, which are watch, warning, emergency, and disaster. No mandatory restrictions are in place under a drought watch. The counties under drought watch are Chautauqua, Clinton, Erie, Essex, Franklin, Genesee, Hamilton, Herkimer, Jefferson, Lewis, Monroe, Nassau, Niagara, Orleans, Oswego, St. Lawrence, Suffolk, Warren, Wayne, and the northern portion of Cayuga County.

New York State Department of Environmental Conservation Commissioner Amanda Lefton said, “While it’s not mandatory, we’re encouraging everyone who lives in the drought watch areas to do what they can to conserve water during this dry weather. DEC will continue to monitor the conditions and work with our agency partners to address these short-term issues as well as the longer-term impacts of climate change.”

While few public water-supply challenges have been reported due to dry conditions, below-normal precipitation during the last three months, low streamflows, and low groundwater levels prompted the need for action to ensure adequate notice to public water supplies. Local public water suppliers are urged to assess the current situation, promote voluntary conservation, and take appropriate actions to manage risk.

The drought watch is triggered by the State Drought Index, which reflects precipitation levels, reservoir/lake levels, and stream flow and groundwater levels in the nine drought regions of the state.

DEC and U.S. Geological Survey are partners in evaluating hydrologic conditions across New York State. Observed precipitation over the past 90 days has been less than normal across the affected counties. Stream flows and groundwater levels are below normal throughout much of the affected regions. Groundwater levels have declined in certain areas and may not recover in the immediate future due to the existing precipitation deficit.

By voluntarily reducing water usage, and being extra careful with fire and outdoor flames, New Yorkers can help conserve our natural resources during these dry days of summer.

To protect water resources, homeowners are encouraged to voluntarily reduce outdoor water use and follow these tips:

• Water lawns only when necessary, choose watering methods that avoid waste, and water in the early morning to reduce evaporation and maximize soil hydration;
• Reuse water collected in rain barrels, dehumidifiers, or air conditioners to water plants;
• Raise lawn mower cutting heights. Longer grass is healthier with stronger roots and needs less water;
• Use a broom, not a hose, to clean driveways and sidewalks;
• Fix leaking pipes, hoses, and faucets;
• Wash only full loads of dishes and laundry;
• Take shorter showers or fill the bathtub partly;
• Install water saving plumbing fixtures;
• Don’t run the tap to make water hot or cold; and
• Wash cars less frequently.

For more water saving tips, visit DEC's Water Use & Conservation webpage. For more information about drought in New York, visit DEC’s website.

Private Water Wells

For water wells that may be affected by drought, please see the information and links below. Contact a registered water well contractor to discuss appropriate options for your individual situation.

• Check that the well is dry due to drought and no other issues. Sometimes the solution is quite simple, like a broken valve or electrical issue. The only way to definitively tell if a well is dry is to measure the water level in the well.
• Conserve water year-round to help prevent the effects of drought on water wells.
• Consider adding a water storage tank to help get through dry periods.
• Clean or redevelop existing wells.
• Deepen existing wells or drill a new well. If drilling a new well, properly decommission the old well to protect groundwater quality.

 

NEW YORK STATE ANNOUNCES $5 MILLION AVAILABLE TO OPERATE COMMUNITY WELLNESS SPACE IN THE BRONX

Office of Mental Health Issues a Request for Proposals to Operate 17,000-Square-Foot Structure as a Recovery Hub and Community Resource  

The New York State Office of Mental Health is seeking proposals for an operator to oversee the newly renovated community wellness space on the campus of the Bronx Psychiatric Center. The agency has made available up to $5 million over five years to enlist a trusted, culturally grounded non-profit organization with significant history providing services to Bronx residents or significant knowledge of the needs of the community to operate the two-story 17,000-square-foot facility as a wellness center.

“We envision the Wellness Center as a community hub that will offer a diverse and inclusive environment for both the individuals receiving services at the Bronx Psychiatric campus and for residents of the community as a whole,” Commissioner Dr. Ann Sullivan said. “The prospective operator will help this facility become a place for the community to come together in an inclusive and wellness-focused manner. We look forward to forming this partnership and realizing our vision for an integrated person-centered wellness center.”

The Wellness Center is envisioned as a resource for the Bronx community as a whole, but also for individuals living with mental health conditions --including those transitioning back into the community from inpatient and residential settings or otherwise lacking a connection to their community. Likewise, the facility will promote mental and physical wellness and foster interpersonal connections aimed at bringing together individuals from widely varying backgrounds –something that will help reduce the stigma often associated with mental illness.

The goal of the center is to address the social drivers of health within the greater Bronx Community, including its financial, occupational, and intellectual needs. The selected operator will build positive relationships and coalitions with community providers, businesses, and organizations; facilitate and support peer leadership roles; and practice person-centered recovery models.

Located in Building 5 on the Bronx Psychiatric campus, the center is adjacent to an MTA bus stop and located nearby a dense residential area. Originally known as the Bronx Ginsberg Clinic, the facility was overhauled in 2019 and now offers office space, a computer room, training rooms, a commercial kitchen with center island for teaching space, a full-service health suite, and a large greenhouse.

Commissioner Sullivan joined leadership from the Bronx Psychiatric Center, state legislators and local officials to tour the facility in March, which featured demonstrations and exhibits to showcase the renovated space for both members of the Greater Bronx community and prospective operators. Watch a video of the open house.

OMH conducted extensive discussions and visioning workshops to determine the best uses for the resulting center. As a result of these discussions, the agency developed a list of guiding principles to provide direction for future activities at the wellness center, including empowering the Bronx community and being inclusive; being adaptable and flexible, providing on- and off-site programing; having a holistic approach to health with offerings that meet the needs of Bronx residents; and leveraging the strength and expertise of existing integrative wellness practitioners and organizations.

Attorney General James Stops Dismantling of AmeriCorps Programs

 

AG James and Coalition of 24 Other States Restore $184 Million in Funding for AmeriCorps Programs that Provide Disaster Relief, Anti-Poverty, Education, Health, and Other Services Nationwide

New York Attorney General Letitia James secured a major victory after the federal government resumed funding for AmeriCorps programs that support the work of over 200,000 volunteers nationwide. The resumption of funding is the result of a lawsuit filed in April by Attorney General James and a coalition of 24 states shortly after the Trump administration canceled approximately 80 percent of AmeriCorps grants and began placing hundreds of staff on administrative leave. The White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) agreed to release over $184 million in funding, including $14.7 million for projects in New York, ensuring volunteers and staff will be paid for this year’s projects and work will continue into the next federal fiscal year. 

“This is an important victory for the dedicated AmeriCorps volunteers across the country and the communities they serve each and every day,” said Attorney General James. “For decades, AmeriCorps has provided critical programs that provide education, health care, and other vital services to those in need. Thanks to the hard work of this coalition, that work will now continue.” 

AmeriCorps has operated since 1993 as an independent federal agency, supporting more than 200,000 unpaid members and volunteers each year who serve in communities throughout the country. These members operate disaster relief, anti-poverty, education, environmental protection, community health, and veterans’ programs in every state. For the current fiscal year, Congress appropriated over $1.2 billion for AmeriCorps to support these services. While AmeriCorps directly administers several volunteer programs, most of its funds support programs operated by state and local governments, nonprofits, universities, and other organizations.

In New York, the Commission on National and Community Service administers dozens of AmeriCorps programs statewide. AmeriCorps members in New York provide a range of critical services at more than 300 locations throughout the state, including tutoring and mentor services for students, housing assistance and legal services, environmental restoration, support for veterans and military families, opioid addiction services, and much more.

In June, Attorney General James and the coalition secured a court order stopping the Trump administration’s policies to close AmeriCorps programs and requiring the reinstatement of thousands of volunteers nationwide. On July 23, Attorney General James joined the coalition in filing an amended lawsuit challenging OMB’s attempt to gut AmeriCorps programs. When their response for these actions was due in court on August 28, OMB and AmeriCorps instead agreed to fully release the previously withheld funds. This relief means that service programs across the country will be protected from the administration’s devastating attempted cuts.   

Joining Attorney General James in this effort are the attorneys general of Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington, Wisconsin, and the District of Columbia, along with the states of Kentucky and Pennsylvania.
