• Man bonds out of jail after being arrested for allegedly towing a car with child inside in Sunrise (wsvn.com) — A tow truck driver is facing a child neglect charge after police say he hauled away a car from outside a Sunrise restaurant while a 4‑year‑old girl was still inside, leading to her falling onto West Oakland Park Boulevard. The child suffered minor injuries and was treated at Broward Health, while the driver has bonded out and been ordered not to drive or contact the family. 
• 'Heartbreaking': Images of ICE agents 'hunting people down' across Broward spur anger (wlrn.org) — Sunrise’s deputy mayor is publicly sharing concern after video showed federal immigration agents detaining a man at Oakland Park Boulevard and Hiatus Road, adding a local voice to growing Broward anger over stepped‑up ICE operations. Residents and business owners across the county, including those employing immigrants with legal status, fear families will be separated under the Trump administration’s intensified enforcement.
