Former Capitol Police officer Michael Fanone confronted a MAGA election denier to his face at a Thursday congressional hearing at which former special counsel Jack Smith testified.
At Thursday’s hearing, Fanone, who was at the Capitol on duty during the January 6 riot, was filmed during a break confronting Ivan Raiklin. At one point, Fanone was held back by multiple people, including fellow former Capitol Police officer Harry Dunn. Raiklin is a 2020 election conspiracy theorist and a vocal supporter of the January 6 Capitol rioters.
Footage from multiple angles on Thursday found Fanone and Raiklin exchanging words before Fanone walked towards Raiklin and called him a “traitor to this country.”
Raiklin, who was filming his own video during the confrontation, asked Fanone why he is so “spasmodic.”
Fanone crossed him arms and the two continued exchanging words as Dunn came up behind Fanone and began trying to pull him away.
“See how many people are restraining you?” Raiklin asked as others joined in pulling Fanone away. “Look at me, totally in control over my mind and body.”
A Capitol officer eventually stepped between the two.
“This guy’s threatened my family, threatened my children,” Fanone said as another officer stepped into the middle of the scene. “Threatened my — threatened to rape my children, you sick b*stard! Rape my children!”
Dunn eventually got Fanone back to his seat. Fanone warned one officer, “Do not f**king touch me” after the confrontation.
Footage of the tense moment was captured by CSPAN and other reporters in the area.

“Who thinks I should sue Mr. Fanone for defamation?” Raiklin posted after the encounter with Fanone.
The footage captured by Raiklin showed that he appeared to make contact with Fanone first, saying hello to him. Fanone told him to “f*ck” himself and stop pretending like they weren’t “mortal enemies.”
Fanone continued telling Raiklin to go “f*ck” himself ,while Raiklin claimed he was “always professional” with Fanone while also accusing Fanone of having “Tourette” syndrome.

NEED TO KNOW
- A senior pilot has reportedly been suspended from EVA Air after allegedly assaulting their first officer
- The incident reportedly occurred after an argument over taxiing speeds at LAX
- EVA Air confirmed to local outlets they would investigate the incident and refer the pilot to their disciplinary review board
A senior pilot has reportedly been suspended after they allegedly assaulted their first officer while operating an aircraft at the Los Angeles International Airport (LAX).
According to a report from Taiwanese newspaper Focus Taiwan, EVA Air suspended the pilot and opened an internal investigation into his conduct after they allegedly punched their first officer while taxiing.
The outlet reports the flight’s first officer attempted to advise the pilot that they were taxiing above the speed limit of 30 knots. After several warnings, the first officer allegedly applied the manual breaks, per standard operating procedures.
However, the pilot did not take the warnings positively. They allegedly punched their first officer at least four times. The incident reportedly left the first officer with swelling and bruising on the back of one hand.
“EVA Air launched an investigation immediately after learning of the incident,” the Taiwan-based carrier said in a statement shared with aviation outlet AirLive. “We are currently working to confirm the exact details of what occurred and have suspended the pilot involved pending the results of the inquiry.”
EVA Air did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.
The airline did not share details regarding the pilot’s identity nor if the flight was carrying any passengers or was subsequently delayed or canceled.
EVA Air did not confirm which flight or date the incident occurred; however, the carrier offers daily non-stop flights from LAX to Taipei’s Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport.
An initial whistleblower familiar with the incident first shared details with Reporter Taiwan in late December 2025. The source said they were disappointed the company did not immediately engage its emergency response plan. They added the pilot exhibited emotionally “unstable” behavior and potentially put passengers’ lives at risk.
According to Focus Taiwan, the airline said data from the flight’s quick access recorder indicated the plane was complying with taxiing speed regulation.

After the internal investigation is complete, Wen will be referred to the company’s disciplinary review board, EVA Air said, per the newspaper.
Taiwan’s Civil Aviation Administration confirmed to the outlet that it would investigate the incident and will impose legal penalties if found the pilot’s actions impacted passenger safety.

A tense scene unfolded in Willowbrook after a federal agent opened fire during an immigration operation on Wednesday morning, prompting a large response from local and federal authorities.
A federal agent opened fire while conducting an operation in the parking lot of an apartment building near the intersection of 126th Street and Mona Boulevard. No one was hit, but it triggered a large response from authorities as crowds of people gathered amid the chaos.
Shortly after 7 a.m., U.S. Border Patrol informed the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department that the agency was conducting an operation in the area, according to LASD. The shooting occurred shortly afterward.
In a statement provided to ABC7, the Department of Homeland Security said the targeted operation began in nearby Compton, “to arrest a violent criminal illegal alien from El Salvador, William Eduardo Moran Carballo, who is involved in a human smuggling operation and has two prior arrests for inflicting corporal injury on a spouse or cohabitant.”
An immigration judge issued Carballo a final order of removal in 2019, according to DHS.
DHS says Carballo tried to evade arrest around 7 a.m. on Wednesday and rammed his vehicle into a law enforcement vehicle. That’s when one of the agents fired at Carballo, missing him, and he was taken into custody.
“In a dangerous attempt to evade arrest, this criminal illegal alien weaponized his vehicle and rammed law enforcement,” the Homeland Security statement read. “Fearing for his life and safety, an agent fired defensive shots. The criminal illegal alien was not hit and attempted to flee on foot. He was successfully apprehended by law enforcement. The illegal alien was not injured, but a CBP officer was injured.”
Further details on the officer’s injury were not provided.
Video provided to Eyewitness News by a neighbor shows the man leaving the apartment building, getting into his car and driving away. Seconds later, neighbors say Border Patrol tried to take him into custody, and that’s when the shooting occurred.
The incident ended with a crash. Video from the scene shows the front end of the man’s white sedan smashed in with the windshield shattered and airbags deployed.
“He jumped in his car and tried to run off, like speed off, and so he must have hit the car a little bit, one of the ICE agents or a Border Patrol car a little bit while he was getting out, but they came in here harassing him,” a witness said.
Although DHS says Carballo was not hit by gunfire, neighbors said they are still worried about his health due to the violent nature of the crash.

“No ambulance. No paramedics. No fire department were called or arrived on the scene. The agents then asked hours after the gunshots where the closest hospital was at, asked the community, and we pointed them to the nearest hospital,” a witness said.
Video from a witness shows another person being escorted by federal agents, being held by the hair and placed in an unmarked SUV. It’s not clear who that person is or how they are connected to the case.
Along with several federal agents in tactical gear, sheriff’s deputies and California Highway Patrol officers responded to the scene.
“This situation is evolving, and more information is forthcoming,” DHS said.
Meanwhile, the FBI told ABC7 that the agency was not a part of the operation and said that an evidence response team was being sent to the scene.
Crowd grows after federal agent opens fire
A large group of residents and activists gathered near the scene late Wednesday morning as more agents arrived, denouncing their presence.
Some were seen holding Mexican flags and filming videos on their phone. At one point, the group was yelling at members of the sheriff’s department.
“I saw the car crash… it was just crazy,” said one resident who lives in the area. “It’s just crazy how they’re coming over here and interrupting everybody’s livelihood and their lives… this is just their lives.”
Some of the people who showed up are TikTokers who said they’re working to be a voice for those who may be afraid.
“The federal ones… they like to come and go,” said Angie Vargas, a local TikToker and live streamer. “They like to move quick, so the fact that they’re here and this incident happened, I think honestly, they came to the wrong city. A lot of us are out against what’s going on, but yes, they are around our city, and I think there’s a lot of us out here… supporting the community, being an extra set of eyes for them. That’s why we’re here. We’re filming. We’re bringing everything… the truth of what’s going on, because there’s a lot of people that are scared to come out and see what’s going on.”
“People are not going to work. They’re causing disruptions. It’s heartbreaking. It hurts. Why are you all here?” said neighbor Andre Smith. “I heard this is border patrol. If this is border patrol, ya’ll need to go and patrol the border.”
“It brings a lot of chaos to the kids, to people that have no citizenship. They’re just here to work. That’s why we’re here to support our people,” said Eric, whose family lives nearby. “They’ve been taking people with citizenships just because of the color of our skin. We’re tired of it already. We need them out of here.”
There were some tense moments between the federal agents and protesters, but it appears no less-than-lethal rounds were fired and no protesters were arrested.
