Jim Thornton has been dismissed by Sony Pictures Television from his role as the announcer on the long-running television game show "Wheel of Fortune" after 15 years. The termination follows a scandal involving a pedophilia chat discovered during a flight, ending Thornton's tenure as one of the most recognizable voices in American television and leaving the program without a permanent replacement for the position.

Separately, federal forces in Mexico carried out an operation in Michoacán targeting a property allegedly linked to Santiago, known as "El Maguey" and identified as a plaza boss for the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG). During the raid, authorities seized an arsenal that included six assault rifles, hundreds of rounds of ammunition, improvised explosive devices, and three vehicles, two of which featured improvised armor.
