🚨Police were called to the home of ICE supervisor Samuel Saxon about 23 times in roughly 18 months, according to a prosecutor. He remained an ICE supervisor until his arrest in December 2025. Saxon was an assistant field office director for ICE in Cincinnati. Prosecutors allege a history of violence against his partner, including a broken nose in 2018 that needed surgery and a broken pelvis in April 2025. No charges were filed after the pelvis injury. In August 2025, officers came twice within hours over reports he was assaulting her, and he was not arrested. On Dec. 5, 2025, prosecutors say a neighbor saw Saxon holding her in a chokehold and dragging her down a hallway while she screamed. They say police found bruises on her neck and chest. His attorney disputed that. Saxon pleaded not guilty to state charges of felonious assault, strangulation and domestic violence. Then he lied about it. He told a federal investigator he had only spoken to her by phone that day. Federal filings say that was false and that a witness recorded video at the scene. He pleaded guilty to lying to a federal officer, and prosecutors are asking for five years, the maximum. His sentencing was delayed from Oct. 20, and no outcome has been reported yet. ICE confirmed in August that Saxon is no longer employed. They did not say whether he resigned, retired or was fired. He had worked there for about 20 years.

🚨Richard Channing “Chan” Shealy, 54, a former interim worship pastor and Christian musician in Lexington, South Carolina, has been indicted on nine federal counts for producing, distributing, and possessing child s*xual abuse material. Federal prosecutors say Shealy produced images of a child on four occasions between 2004 and 2006, later shared CSAM files in February 2026 via a peer-to-peer network with an undercover Homeland Security agent, and possessed additional material on devices at his home. The production counts carry up to 30 years each; distribution and possession up to 20 years each, plus fines. This follows his March 26, 2026, arrest on 13 state s*xual exploitation charges. After posting bond (with conditions allowing contact only with his own children and barring internet access), he was hit with 20 more state counts on May 1—including two first-degree criminal s*xual conduct with a minor, lewd acts, and additional exploitation charges tied to the same 2004–2006 period involving children ranging from five to eight years old. Bond was denied; he remains jailed. Shealy’s wife, Beth Shealy, was vice chair of the Lexington One school board (serving ~27,000–28,000 students) at the time of the initial arrest. She resigned March 29, citing family needs. Local reporting noted her social media response framed the alleged child s*x crimes as acts by “Satan.” The couple has minor children, including a daughter with special needs. Shealy previously led worship, spoke at a Fellowship of Christian Athletes event at a district high school, and produced Christian music portraying himself as a “faithful” follower of the Bible. Shealy belongs to the Southern Baptist denomination, which emphasizes marriage as between a man and a woman and condemns consensual same-sex relationships as sinful.
