Military families demand DOJ distribute nearly $800M from French cement company found guilty of bribing ISIS
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
In November 2017, Chief Petty Officer Kenton Stacy was injured in Raqqa, Syria while clearing the second floor of a hospital that ISIS had booby trapped with explosives.
Now a quadriplegic, Stacy, his wife Lindsey, and their 4 children are part of a lawsuit brought by military families against the French cement company, Lafarge, recently found guilty by a French Court of paying millions of dollars in bribes to ISIS to keep their factory open in ISIS-controlled territory in Syria.
«I mean, they were essentially funneling money to fund terrorists and ISIS and all these heinous crimes and evil acts,» Lindsey Stacy told Fox News while standing by the side of her husband, the former Navy Explosives Ordnance Disposal (EOD) specialist, who just had another surgery to deal with injuries sustained in Syria 9 years ago.
«It’s very overwhelming, Kenton struggles mentally and physically with his own battles and the kids and I. We have our own struggles,» she continued. «It’s hard to juggle, especially when our oldest son has cerebral palsy, and he requires his own 24-7 care.»

President Trump praised Stacy’s service to the nation in his 2018 State of the Union Address to Congress. Army Staff Sergeant Justin Peck bounded into a booby-trapped building to rescue Kenton and then gave him more than 2 hours of CPR while medics worked to save his life.
«Kenton Stacy would have died if not for Justin’s selfless love for a fellow warrior. Tonight, Kenton is recovering in Texas. Raqqa is liberated.…All of America salutes you.»
In a landmark ruling in April, a French court convicted Lafarge, the world’s largest cement manufacturer, of providing material support to a terror group and sentenced its former CEO to 6 years in prison. Eight former Lafarge employees were found guilty. Lafarge is appealing.
The company acknowledged the court’s finding describing the issue as a «legacy matter,» which was «in flagrant violation of Lafarge’s Code of Conduct.»
Nearly 1,000 plaintiffs, most of them military families, are part of earlier litigation in the Eastern District of New York.
«They were killed in Syria by a gruesome terrorist organization that was funded in part by Lafarge. And that’s not an allegation. That is undisputed fact. Lafarge pled guilty to doing that in 2022.»
Todd Toral, the lawyer from Jenner & Block, is representing Stacy and about 25 other families.
Toral, who is also a US Marine, is seeking compensation for those families from the $777 million Lafarge paid to the Justice Department as part of the settlement. The DOJ has had that money since Oct 2022.
«I think the ruling by the court in France is significant generally, because it’s the first time in many, many years that a corporation, and not just the corporation, but executives at a corporation have been held to account for their misconduct in aiding terrorism,» Toral said in an interview with Fox.
In order to operate in ISIS-controlled areas of Syria, Lafarge paid more than $6.5 million to ISIS from 2013–2014 through its Syrian subsidiary to keep production facilities running. The cement produced at its factory in Jalabiya, a factory which was bought for $680 million months before the Syrian uprising began in 2011, was also used for tunnels and bunkers, which helped the terrorist group.
The lawsuit is significant because it marks the first time a company has faced U.S. charges for supporting a terrorist group.

In October 2022, Lafarge settled with the DOJ before the French ruling, paying more than $777 million into an asset forfeiture fund currently controlled by the DOJ, funds which are supposed to compensate victims of the ISIS attacks, many of them American Gold Star families, like Hailey Dayton, whose father was the first American killed by ISIS in Syria on Thanksgiving Day 2016.
«I was 15 when my dad was killed,» Hailey Dayton told Fox from her home in Florida. «I saw six guys in Navy white step out of the van. I got so excited because I thought my dad came back to surprise us. I remember opening the door, huge smile on my face, and I was looking at the men, trying to find my dad and I didn’t find, I didn’t see him, but instead I saw six guys with tears in their eyes.»
The Biden Justice Department denied requests to distribute the Lafarge funds while the case was still pending before a French Court. Lafarge was found guilty by that court in April. In February, Rep. Andy Biggs, R-Ariz., pressed then-Attorney General Pam Bondi on when the DOJ planned to release the funds to the families.
«In February 2025, my colleagues and I sent you a letter urging the department to review the petitions for remission submitted by the families of those fallen service members, including several of my constituents. The previous administration ignored these victims and our requests and left their petitions unresolved,» Biggs asked Bondi during a Congressional hearing.
«Congressman, we are aware of that and we’re committed to doing everything we can to support the victims and work with you. Thank you for that question,» Bondi replied. That was more than a year ago and the DOJ has still not distributed the compensation funds.
Now the plaintiffs, most of them military families, say the decision to release the funds rests with Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche.
«I don’t know why. I don’t know why they’re ignoring us. To me, it feels like being a pawn. My dad, he went in when he was 19, he served 23 years,» Dayton, the Gol Star daughter of Chief Petty Officer Scott Dayton, said.
«To the current Department of Justice, I would, say, make things right.»
Lindsey Stacy, who says she and her family have difficulty making ends meet given Kenton Stacy’s severe injuries, added, «There’s a lot of families out there that could benefit from these funds. I mean, it’s been almost nine years. It would be nice to, you know, for justice to be served.»

«They have been convicted recently in their own country, guilty. It has been a long battle, but it’d be nice just for it to come to an end, get some closure and be able to just take care of our family,» she added. «I mean he made a huge sacrifice for our country and it would just be nice if they’d stand right by us and all the other co-plaintiffs.»
«We can think of no group of people who are more worthy of receiving compensation from that victim’s compensation fund than these families who lost a son, lost a brother, lost a husband, and they deserve to be treated better by the United States of America,» Toral, who continues to press his clients’ case said in an interview ahead of Memorial Day Weekend.

The Department of Justice, which controls the $777 million dollars in penalties forfeited by Lafarge, issued the following statement:
«The Department is committed to compensating all victims to the maximum extent permitted by law. While we cannot comment on a pending matter, the Department will always engage in the appropriate process to evaluate claims and ensure that our brave servicemembers receive any amount of compensation to which they are entitled.»

Progress with Iran can only be achieved ‘by force,’ expert warns
President Trump hints at an imminent peace deal with Iran, suggesting the Supreme Leader has approved it and the US will lift blockades. Rebecca Heinrichs, Hudson Institute Senior Fellow, expresses skepticism, citing Iran’s continued harassment in the Strait of Hormuz and its nuclear program. She also addresses reports of the US cutting fighter jets in Europe, questioning the timing given escalating tensions with Russia.

The U.S. has hit back against threats to now block another Middle East waterway by Iranian terror proxy, the Houthis.
Earlier this week, the group declared a complete ban on Israeli-owned ships using the Red Sea, declaring them to be «legitimate targets».
The Red Sea and the waterway through its narrow Bab-el Mandeb strait, has become the main route for oil to ship out of the Middle East to Asia since the Strait of Hormuz has effectively stopped functioning as the main route of navigation for shipping.
IRAN’S AFRICA ACTIVITIES POSE ‘SIGNIFICANT THREATS TO US NATIONAL SECURITY’

Houthi spokesperson Yahya Saree posted on Monday, «We declare a complete and total ban on Israeli maritime navigation in the Red Sea, and we consider all enemy movements to be legitimate targets.»
In a statement to Fox News Digital, a State Department spokesperson struck back: «The escalatory actions of Iran and their Houthi proxies are unacceptable. These dangerous actions only serve to further enflame tensions and further disrupt global supply chains. We will continue to work with our partners to ensure freedom of navigation in the Red Sea and the Strait of Hormuz.»
Edmund Fitton-Brown, a senior fellow at The Foundation for Defense of Democracies, told Fox News Digital, «The Houthis have indeed risen to the challenge, at least verbally. In common with much ‘Axis of Resistance’ rhetoric at present, the intention appears to be to leverage US political nervousness and market volatility, and to drive a wedge between the Americans and the Israelis.»

Fitton-Brown, a former U.K. ambassador to Yemen added, «Provided the allies keep talking to each other, the Israelis respond proportionately, as they have done, and the Iranians continue to provoke President Trump with actions like the downing of the helicopter, these tactics are unlikely to achieve significant success.»
«It will be interesting if the Houthis do go all in, and resume their campaign against Red Sea shipping with full intensity,» Fitton-Brown said, adding, «This will draw international anger and likely result in Israeli and U.S. strikes on Sanaa and Hodeida. There is potential for a general escalation if this happens, albeit one in which the allies have a clear military advantage.»
US STRIKES ON YEMEN CONTINUE AFTER HOUTHI MISSILE HITS BY ISRAELI AIRPORT; TERROR GROUP VOWS ‘AERIAL BLOCKADE’
A huge column of fire erupts in the Yemeni rebel-held port city of Hodeida following reported strikes on July 20, 2024. The strikes targeted a fuel depot in the port, according to Houthi-run media and an AFP correspondent.
Landlocked Ethiopia acts as regional anti-terrorism buffer
Such actions come as reports emerge that Ethiopia, the Red Sea region’s most populous country, is stepping up as a major U.S. ally against Islamic terrorism.
While landlocked, Ethiopia has a population of some 130 million, making it the largest nation in the Horn of Africa. Located near parts of the Red Sea corridor, the country is roughly 60% Christian, according to a recent report by the Association of Religion Data Archives.

And despite it being landlocked, Ethiopian researcher Blen M. Diriba told Fox News Digital that the country acts as a strategic roadblock or «a keystone state» on the Islamist expansionist ‘highway’ that has formed all the way from Iran to Sudan.
Diriba, executive director of the Horn Review — an Addis Ababa-based research and publication think tank — told Fox News Digital that «Ethiopia, long a frontline U.S. security partner, now sits at the center of an expanding pressure zone where maritime disruption, insurgent violence, terrorist threats, and proxy competition converge.»
Diriba added. «Iran’s Bab el-Mandeb threat transforms the Horn of Africa into a militarized frontline, placing Ethiopia at the center of a chokepoint crisis. With Iranian influence radiating through conflict ecosystems in Sudan, Eritrea and Somalia, the region is beginning to resemble a continuous arc of instability stretching from the Arabian Peninsula into East Africa.»
«Ethiopia sits at the center of one of the world’s most combustible security corridors,» Diriba continued. «And in strategic terms, its relevance to the United States is amplified, not diminished, by that reality: From the Red Sea disruptions driven by the Houthis to the persistent insurgency threat of al-Shabab in Somalia, Ethiopia functions as a massive inland security buffer whose stability directly shapes whether these threats expand or are contained.»

But in addition to being pro-U.S., Ethiopia also has relations with Iran.
Fitton-Brown believes to some extent Ethiopia can be accused of playing both sides, as he said Tehran «has helped Ethiopia with its internal conflicts, giving drone support and military aid to the Ethiopian government during the recent Tigray War.»
He added, «There is a new memorandum of understanding built upon that basis, with Iran gaining influence in Ethiopia, while Ethiopia receives military, police and intelligence support to counter its domestic ethnic insurgencies.»
However, Diriba said, «Ethiopia’s engagement with Iran is neither affinity nor alignment, it’s strategic awareness: keeping channels open to engage where necessary, cooperate selectively, and strategically manage its relations with a complex regional actor, while firmly anchoring its core partnerships with its emerging and long-standing partners — the United States being on the top of that list.»

«Ethiopia has pursued a flexible multi-alignment strategy, Diriba said, «prioritizing its entrenched security partnership with Washington while keeping open channels with Tehran to preserve diplomatic room to maneuver in an increasingly fragmented Horn of Africa–Red Sea order.»

Fitton-Brown said relations between the U.S. and Ethiopia «are good, especially in the field of counterterrorism. Both countries use Somaliland to their advantage without having gone so far as to recognize it as an independent state.»

Las tormentas obligan a cancelar más de 900 vuelos en Estados Unidos en medio de los viajes por el Mundial 2026
El sistema de transporte de Estados Unidos experimentó graves interrupciones operativas debido a una serie de tormentas severas y tornados que coincidieron con la inauguración de la Copa Mundial de la FIFA 2026. Miles de viajeros y aficionados al fútbol enfrentaron cancelaciones y largas demoras desde el 11 de junio, cuando el fenómeno meteorológico impactó directamente en rutas aéreas y ferroviarias clave. La situación afecta a los principales aeropuertos y estaciones del país, generando complicaciones logísticas en las ciudades sede del torneo internacional.
Según la Administración Federal de Aviación (FAA) y el servicio de monitoreo FlightAware, más de 900 vuelos fueron cancelados y cerca de 4.000 experimentaron retrasos entre el 10 y el 12 de junio. Las mayores afectaciones se concentraron en los aeropuertos de Chicago y el corredor noreste, incluyendo Nueva York, Newark y Filadelfia. Las principales aerolíneas implementaron exenciones para reprogramar pasajes sin penalización, como respuesta a las condiciones meteorológicas extremas.
El contexto de estas alteraciones coincide con la apertura de la Copa Mundial, que se disputa en Estados Unidos, Canadá y México. Las autoridades anticipan un aumento en la demanda de servicios de transporte en las próximas semanas, mientras los pronósticos del Servicio Meteorológico Nacional (NWS) advierten sobre la persistencia de tormentas, calor extremo y posibles impactos adicionales en la movilidad de los asistentes al torneo.
De acuerdo con Newsweek y cifras de FlightAware, los aeropuertos O’Hare y Midway de Chicago se ubicaron como los más afectados, con 21 cancelaciones y 409 retrasos en O’Hare solo el 11 de junio. Otros centros neurálgicos, como Dallas-Fort Worth, Atlanta, Boston, Nueva York (JFK y LaGuardia), Denver y Los Ángeles, también reportaron interrupciones significativas, según el portal especializado Travel Tourister. Esta dinámica generó un efecto dominó en la red nacional, con demoras y cancelaciones que afectaron conexiones domésticas e internacionales.
Las demoras se extendieron a rutas transcontinentales y afectaron vuelos hacia y desde ciudades sede del Mundial, como Nueva York, Filadelfia y Boston. El impacto fue tal que tanto la FAA como las aerolíneas recomendaron a los pasajeros revisar en tiempo real el estado de sus vuelos y considerar alternativas de reprogramación.
La FAA atribuyó la situación a un sistema de tormentas severas y tornados que cruzó el Medio Oeste y avanzó hacia el noreste, reduciendo la capacidad operativa en los principales aeropuertos. El NWS advirtió que las condiciones adversas podrían extenderse, con nuevas tormentas y altas temperaturas previstas para los días siguientes.
Los datos oficiales confirman que el 10 de junio hubo 3.895 vuelos demorados y 91 cancelaciones. El día siguiente, las cancelaciones aumentaron a 925 y las demoras superaron los 3.900 vuelos, según FlightAware y Travel Tourister. Las aerolíneas más impactadas fueron Southwest Airlines (911 retrasos), American Airlines (528) y United Airlines (434).
La congestión no se limitó al tráfico aéreo. Según Newsweek, la estación Penn de Nueva York experimentó aglomeraciones y cancelaciones en rutas ferroviarias estratégicas para el traslado entre ciudades sede del Mundial. Los servicios de trenes interurbanos y regionales vieron interrumpido su funcionamiento por el impacto de la tormenta y la alta demanda, lo que incrementó la presión sobre los sistemas de transporte alternativos.
El colapso de rutas ferroviarias afectó especialmente a viajeros con conexiones nacionales e internacionales, complicando los planes de desplazamiento de miles de personas en pleno inicio del torneo, de acuerdo con el reporte de Newsweek.
Las tormentas y tornados causaron daños materiales de consideración en áreas de Illinois e Indiana. Newsweek documentó que en la localidad de Streator, Illinois, equipos de emergencia realizaron tareas de rescate entre los escombros luego del paso de un tornado que destruyó viviendas y dejó barrios enteros cubiertos de restos. En el noroeste de Indiana, se reportó la presencia de un gran embudo de tornado, con riesgos potenciales para infraestructuras eléctricas y edificaciones.
El NWS informó que cientos de miles de hogares y empresas quedaron sin energía eléctrica en el Medio Oeste. Las cuadrillas de servicios públicos trabajaron para restablecer el suministro y liberar caminos bloqueados por árboles y escombros. Las tareas de recuperación se mantienen activas, según los reportes oficiales.
Las aerolíneas principales, como United Airlines y American Airlines, activaron exenciones especiales para permitir a los pasajeros reprogramar sus vuelos sin costo adicional, siempre que el itinerario incluyera alguno de los aeropuertos afectados. Travel Tourister señala que los pasajeros deben consultar el estado de sus vuelos mediante aplicaciones oficiales o sitios web antes de dirigirse a los aeropuertos, ya que los cambios de puerta y demoras suelen comunicarse con antelación digitalmente.
La FAA recomendó a los viajeros llegar con mayor anticipación a los aeropuertos de alto riesgo. Además, recordó que la normativa del Departamento de Transporte (DOT) otorga derecho a reembolso completo por cancelaciones, aunque la compensación económica solo corresponde a demoras atribuibles a la gestión de la aerolínea, no a causas meteorológicas.
El Servicio Meteorológico Nacional mantiene alertas por tormentas y una ola de calor proyectada para la costa este, con índices térmicos cercanos a 38°C (100°F). Las autoridades meteorológicas advierten que el sistema de tormentas podría mantenerse y seguir afectando ciudades densamente pobladas del noreste y del corredor atlántico.
Según el NWS, el avance de un frente frío hacia el este traerá riesgos de ráfagas de viento y nuevas tormentas, lo que podría volver a reducir la capacidad operativa de aeropuertos y estaciones ferroviarias. La combinación de clima severo y alta demanda por el Mundial podría prolongar las demoras y complicaciones en la movilidad de viajeros y residentes.
El inicio de la Copa Mundial de la FIFA 2026, que se desarrolla en Estados Unidos, Canadá y México, coincide con el periodo de mayor movilidad del año en la región. Newsweek señala que las interrupciones complican la llegada y el traslado entre sedes para visitantes nacionales e internacionales. La FAA y el NWS no descartan la posibilidad de que nuevas tormentas o la presencia de rayos cerca de los estadios obliguen a suspender temporalmente partidos, de acuerdo con el reglamento de la FIFA, aunque hasta el momento los encuentros inaugurales se realizaron según lo previsto.
El NWS advierte que la ola de calor y la persistencia de tormentas pueden incrementar el estrés sobre los sistemas de transporte, tanto para asistentes al torneo como para población local.
Las autoridades de transporte y meteorología recomiendan a los viajeros:
- Consultar el estado de sus vuelos y conexiones ferroviarias en tiempo real.
- Utilizar aplicaciones oficiales de las aerolíneas y servicios de tren para actualizar información sobre retrasos, cambios de puerta o cancelaciones.
- Planificar los desplazamientos con antelación y considerar alternativas cuando sea posible.
- Seguir las indicaciones de las autoridades locales y los mensajes de alerta difundidos por las ciudades sede del Mundial.
El NWS mantiene la recomendación de estar atentos a nuevas actualizaciones meteorológicas, mientras que la FAA y el DOT insisten en el uso de canales digitales para la gestión de reservas y la solicitud de reembolsos, según la normativa vigente.
El impacto en la movilidad durante la Copa Mundial dependerá de la evolución del clima y de la capacidad de respuesta de los sistemas de transporte. Los organizadores del torneo y las autoridades locales continúan difundiendo mensajes de precaución y solicitan a los asistentes mantener la flexibilidad en sus planes de viaje.
La situación se mantiene dinámica, con nuevos pronósticos de tormentas y altas temperaturas. Las autoridades recomiendan consultar fuentes oficiales y tomar precauciones adicionales en los traslados entre ciudades sede y hacia los estadios, mientras persistan las condiciones adversas.

Former Biden ambassador considered running against him over border mess, bashes Kamala in new book
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Ken Salazar, former U.S. ambassador to Mexico under President Joe Biden, considered running for president against his former boss in 2024, he revealed.
«I should run for president,» Salazar told himself, after Biden’s disastrous July 2024 debate performance, according to a book excerpt obtained by Politico.
Salazar also claimed that he begged for a border czar and early on advised Biden to refer to the U.S. border situation as a crisis.
«There was political failure to understand the reality of the crisis at the border, and the political consequence it would have on Democrats in the 2024 election.
HOW IMMIGRATION AND BORDER SECURITY DOMINATED 2024 AND DECIDED AN ELECTION

Salazar claimed that within the administration, officials used the word «crisis» all the time, «even if at that time the White House refused to acknowledge it as such.»
When Salazar advised then-Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas to use the word, Mayorkas apparently told him: «Ken, I have a lot on my plate already. I’m about to be impeached for all this border stuff. The Republicans have it out for me.»
Salazar never ended up declaring himself as a candidate despite recruiting a team and drafting a presidential platform, Politico reported.
BIDEN AIDES WARNED DONORS DROPPING OUT AND RUNNING KAMALA HARRIS WOULD BE A MISTAKE: BOOK
He had planned to throw his name into consideration when Biden dropped out, but the Democratic Party never held open primaries, instead choosing to coronate Vice President Kamala Harris as the party’s candidate unilaterally, a decision Salazar called «a mistake,» per Politico.
FILE – Former U.S. Ambassador Ken Salazar speaks in Mexico City on Dec. 6, 2023.
Salazar criticized Harris’ action, or lack thereof, on the border after she was tasked with stemming the flow of migration. Harris was dubbed the border czar, a position Salazar had pushed for the Biden White House to create, but he was unhappy with the nature of her work in the position.
«But sadly, her designation in this position was having no effect on migration flows,» he wrote.
HOW HARRIS WAS DOGGED BY ‘BORDER CZAR’ LABEL, PAST RADICAL IMMIGRATION VIEWS DURING FAILED CAMPAIGN
«[Harris] had been placed in charge of getting at the ‘root causes’ of migration, but many felt she had been ineffective,» he continued.
«For whatever reason, she had been unable to help with the border and migration crisis, even though she’d sat next door to the Oval Office for almost four years.»

Salazar, a Colorado-born lawyer of Mexican descent and his state’s first Hispanic senator, praised Biden’s eventual decision to effectively shut down the border in 2024, but acknowledged it was too late.

«This should have been a moment of vindication — after all, American voters were demanding action on the border — but it was too late, and images of an out-of-control border would dominate the closing months of the presidential election,» he wrote, per Politico.
Salazar also revealed in his book, titled «Borderlands: My Fight For An Inclusive America,» that he’s been giving out advice to potential Democratic presidential candidates, pitching them on his «borderlands platform,» an immigration policy that he says acknowledges the U.S. immigration system is broken and «must be fixed,» according to Politico.
