Rep. Dingell tells Jake Tapper he might 'have to visit' her in an internment camp if Trump wins

Michigan Democratic Rep. Debbie Dingell surprised CNN’s Jake Tapper by insisting that former President Trump has shared plans to put people into internment camps if he’s re-elected.

Dingell was asked by “The Lead” host on Monday how she felt about various Arab American Michigan voters protesting President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, while other Muslim leaders recently endorsed Trump at a rally.

Although she acknowledged the Muslim and Arab American community is not a monolithic voting bloc, Dingell argued they need to be told Trump would only be harmful to them.

“The Arab American community needs to be reminded and cannot forget. He wants to ban Muslims. He wants to deport Muslims, and he wants to start internment camps. And that‘s what we are busy talking to every voter. He‘s telling you what he‘s going to do. Believe him,” Dingell said.

“Internment camps?” Tapper asked.

“Yes. He has talked internment camps,” Dingell argued. “You know what, Jake, you may have to visit me in one. I get worried enough when he talks about what he‘s going to do to his political enemies, but he has talked about them in this with different groups of people.”

Tapper remarked, “Well, I’ve heard him talking about rounding up undocumented migrants and, obviously, for that, you would need some sort of camp. But what do you mean internment camps for Muslims and Arabs?”

“He has spoken about that in different audiences. I don’t have the exact citation right here, but I’ll find it for you. And he‘s been very clear,” Dingell said.

Multiple Muslim leaders endorsed Trump during a rally in Novi, Michigan, Saturday afternoon, citing his pledge to end the wars overseas.

“We are supporting Donald Trump because he promised to end war in the Middle East and Ukraine,” Alzuhairi said. “The bloodshed has to stop all over the world, and I think this man can make that happen. I personally believe that God saved his life twice for a reason.”

Illinois State Police release video of deadly shooting involving ISP troopers on South Side

CHICAGO (WLS) — Illinois State Police have released videos showing a deadly shooting involving state troopers last month in Chicago.

The video in the player above may be difficult to watch.

The shooting happened around 10:50 p.m. April 15 in the 6500-block of South Champlain Avenue in the city’s Woodlawn neighborhood.

Officers got a call for a domestic battery from a passenger in a vehicle on I-57.

That passenger led the officers to find her boyfriend, 24-year-old Jalen Carpenter, in the 6500-block of South Champlain Avenue.

That’s where the newly released video picks up.

ABC7 froze the video at the moment it appears Carpenter fires a weapon during a scuffle with the officers.

No one was hit by that bullet, but seconds later, the officers return fire, killing Carpenter, officials said.

The officers are still on administrative status while the Illinois State Police Division of Internal Investigation investigates the case.

‘Viral’ mac and cheese bar expanding in Iowa with new Waukee store

You know that viral mac and cheese place? The one that slathers every bowl with ungodly amounts of cheese? The one that makes you feel lactose intolerant just looking at it?

Yeah. Roni’s Mac Bar is opening its second Iowa location, this time in Waukee.

The store will celebrate with a grand opening on Saturday, May 16 at 10:30 a.m. sharp

In a video on social media, the company credits the new location choice to the Waukee man who drove to a location in Waco, Texas, asked for a bowl so cheesy that the chef making it felt lactose-intolerant just looking at it.

Frank Senese, chief executive officer of Roni’s Mac and Cheese, said the business as the “Chipotle of mac and cheese.”

“It’s comfort food; whether you’re a hungover college kid, tattooed biker or a little princess in a tutu, you’re going to find something here that you’ll love,” Senese told the Ames Tribune before the company’s restaurant opened there in 2025. “It’s a fun way to think outside the box.”

The first 100 people to get in line can spin the wheel for a chance to win giveaways and a year’s worth of mac and cheese.

Roni’s Mac bar boasts massive menu

The quote, “Think outside the box” is painted on the wall inside the mac and cheese bar, and the menu certainly inspires customers to do just that.

Roni’s Mac Bar has created a menu of more than 77 million possible combinations that continues to grow, Senese said.

Every bowl can be unique, with drizzles like pesto and ranch, and toppings such as tomatoes and even pineapple − a topping that can be a key indicator of a repeat customer, Senese said.
