Disgraced ex-City Councilman Dan Halloran — who spent years in federal prison for a $200,000 bribery scheme to rig a mayoral election — has been arrested and charged for having hundreds of sickening child sex abuse videos on his phone, according to authorities.

Halloran, 54, was busted at Miami International Airport on Saturday as he arrived in the US for a layover flight from Cuba, Local 10 News reported.

He was found with 1,362 child-sex videos hidden on his iPhone — including about 35 videos of “prepubescent” girls being victimized, according to a federal criminal complaint obtained by the outlet.

The disgraced former politician admitted “knowingly” having the vile material — telling authorities that around “two-thirds to three-quarters” of the 1,362 videos in a hidden album depicted child sexual abuse, according to the complaint.

The former councilman — who now works as a dive instructor while living in the Long Island suburb of Floral Park — was buying the criminal content on the messaging app Telegram, the complaint said.

Halloran, who served on the City Council from 2010 to 2013, was booked into the Broward County Main Jail but was in custody at the Federal Detention Center in Miami as of Tuesday morning on two federal child pornography charges.

A 63-year-old man in Bucks County, Pennsylvania was arrested for allegedly tossing screws and nails in driveways belonging to Trump supporters.

Alaric Dalberg, a Yardley resident, is facing charges of harassment, disorderly conduct and related offenses, according to a report from NBC 10 Philadelphia. According to prosecutors, Dalberg on several occasions threw nails and screws around parked vehicles belonging to individuals who voiced or showed support for President Donald Trump.

Police also stated that Dalberg admitted to placing nails and screws in places he believes what he refers to as “Trumpers” frequently park their cars.

According to court documents, the earliest incident was reported on October 30, 2024, when Dalberg allegedly threw nails and screws from his vehicle as he passed by a home along Newtown-Yardley Road sometime after daylight hours. The targeted property displayed a large inflatable Donald Trump figure along with several large Trump-Vance campaign signs.

The very next day, a woman who works at a local grocery store reported nails and screws scattered around her parked car after work. According to police, Dalberg later admitted that while he was out shopping, he decided to target the woman after overhearing her voicing support for Trump.

Dalberg has also been implicated in a third incident on November 1 which also targeted a home with Trump campaign signs displayed outside.

According to court documents, police were able to identify Dalberg as the suspect in all three incidents thanks to home surveillance footage. After he was questioned by law enforcement at his home back in February, Dalberg admitted to targeting the homes of vehicles of Trump supporters, allegedly adding that he acknowledges it was “dumb and stupid.”

“How could you support him?” Dalberg allegedly asked officers during an interview detailed in court documents.

The Bucks County resident is due back in court for a preliminary hearing on April 25, 2025.

A nonprofit organizing nationwide protests against Elon Musk’s Tesla teaches activists how to find a “target’s” home address and lend aid to those who have been arrested, materials shared on the group’s website show.

The nonprofit, Disruption Project, cheered on Black Lives Matter protesters but is now leading the “Tesla Takedown” movement to stop Musk from destroying “democracy” through his government oversight role in the Trump administration. Disruption Project helped coordinate “Global Day of Action” on Saturday that saw more than 200 protests scheduled in the U.S. — a few of which reportedly turned violent.

Disruption Project joined activists online in calling for the event, archived webpages show. Dozens of scheduled protests were registered on Action Network, a website for posting petitions and activism plans. Disruption Project did not respond to multiple requests for comment from the Daily Caller News Foundation.

“[Our] research and analysis of the Tesla Takedown Movement has revealed an extremely sophisticated, extremely coordinated effort to engage in aggressive intimidation and political violence to ‘resist’ President Trump and destroy the Tesla company by any means necessary,” Gregory T. Angelo, president of the New Tolerance Campaign, told the DCNF in a statement.

Organizers of the event wrote that they “oppose violence, vandalism and destruction of property” and cited “our First Amendment right to peaceful assembly.” However, Disruption Project’s website offers resources for left-wing activists such as “jail support,” “finding a target’s home” and “what to do in an uprising,” or a mass protest that may provoke a police response.

The “jail support” webpages on the site advise protesters to use encrypted programs so that law enforcement can’t view their communications and to form “group legal support for people who may risk arrest.”

“For actions and demonstrations[,] the role of support in a civil disobedience action is crucial to those risking arrest,” one webpage says. “In actions where no one is planning on risking arrest, support roles are also important to think out in advance, both for taking on necessary tasks during legal actions, and to prepare for the contingency of unexpected arrests.”

Disruption Project also encourages activists to visit a “target’s home address” because “in some cases, going to an office building is insufficient.” It suggests finding addresses through public databases such as White Pages, property records, and voter registrations and “scouting the property” before protesting.

Disruption Project describes itself as “dedicated to supporting uprisings, resistance and mass direct action” on its “about” page. The group says protesters around the world have been known to “nonviolently topple dictatorships and illegitimate governments.”

“Our belief is that when mass numbers of people stand up and take action against the unjust systems of racial capitalism, the heteropatriarchy, white supremacy and settler colonialism, we have the ability to force ruptures and dismantle these systems,” the organization’s “about” page says.
