  2. undefined | Arson suspect in California warehouse fire allegedly compared himself to Luigi Mangione by Daniella Silva

    Chamel Abdulkarim, a 29‑year‑old resident of Highland, California, was arrested on federal and state arson charges after allegedly setting fire to a 1.2‑million‑square‑foot Kimberly‑Clark paper‑goods warehouse in Ontario, Calif., on Tuesday. Federal prosecutors say Abdulkarim, who worked for third‑party distributor NFI Industries, intentionally ignited multiple pallets of paper with a lighter and filmed the act, later posting the video to Instagram. The federal charge of arson of a building used in interstate and foreign commerce carries a mandatory five‑year minimum sentence and up to 20 years in prison; state prosecutors added one count of aggravated arson and six additional arson counts, with penalties ranging from ten years to life.

    Authorities reported that roughly twenty people were present in the warehouse when the flames broke out, but no injuries were reported. The fire destroyed paper products valued at about $500 million and a facility worth roughly $150 million, with total damages exceeding $10.1 million, triggering a special‑circumstance aggravating factor under California law. Court documents show Abdulkarim sent a text to a coworker after the blaze saying, “All you had to do was pay us enough to live…pay us more of the value we bring,” reflecting a claimed hostility toward capitalism and corporations.

    During a news conference, U.S. Assistant Attorney Bill Essayli disclosed that Abdulkarim repeatedly compared himself to Luigi Mangione, a notorious Italian Mafia figure, in a phone call and in the Instagram video, where he shouted, “All you had to do was pay us enough to live” and, as the fire spread, “There goes your inventory.” Abdulkarim is scheduled to be arraigned on the state charges later Friday.

    #BillEssayli posted on X that the ruling permits him to continue serving as the highest-ranking official in the office he oversaw, even if he can’t hold the title of #USattorney.

    “Nothing is changing,” he wrote.

  4. Judge rules #Trump’s #LA federal prosecutor was illegally appointed

    The ruling marks the 3rd time in recent weeks that judges have disqualified Trump’s federal prosecutors in temporary positions.

    #BillEssayli, Trump’s pick in April to temporarily lead the #USAttorney’s Office for the Central District of #California, should have departed the post by July 31 under a 120-day limit imposed by federal #law, US District Judge J. Michael Seabright concluded.
