(Ambridge, PA) Congressman Chris Deluzio is requesting another response from ICE on Friday, August 15th about the incident in Ambridge on July 31st, 2025 that involved some people getting taken into custody. Deluzio wrote a letter to Todd Lyons, the acting director of the U.S. Department of ICE on Tuesday, and according to Deluzio, ICE responded: “We’re not tracking any information specific [to] non-routine operations in Robinson Township, PA; Carnegie, PA; or Ambridge, PA…” Beaver County Dsitrict Attorney Nate Bible told KDKA that a “saturation operation” was conducted on July 31st, 2025 but that “was in no way an ‘ICE RAID.'” Bible also noted that the Ambridge Police Department, with assistance from county agencies, conducted this operation, but ICE agents were present. Deluzio is trying to hold ICE accountable for this situation by asking questions in his letter to Lyons which include how many people got detained and if any children were separated from the families they have. This letter came to Washington, D.C.

(Daugherty Township, PA) According to a Facebook post yesterday from the Daugherty Township Volunteer Fire Department, their annual comedy show in Daugherty Township which they have done for over ten years has now ended. The reason for the cancellation of this show is because the material of the previous few years is not what the audience is looking for to get them interested, even though the Daugherty Township Volunteer Fire Department hires an agent for their annual comedy show each year. The Daughtery Township Volunteer Fire Department did not make the decision for what the lineup will be for their now canceled annual comedy show. For more information about the possible charity events like that comedy show for the Duagherty Township Volunteer Fire Department, visit the link below:
