Story summary

Jonathan Andrew Tijerina, a 31-year-old gun control activist, was arrested on October 26, 2026, for spray-painting his anti-gun website's name, juststopkillingkids.com, in red paint over the names of 9/11 victims at the North Tower reflecting pool in Manhattan. Tijerina filmed and shared the vandalism live on Instagram, speaking directly to security cameras before being apprehended by the NYPD. The act caused over $2,500 in damages and led to charges of criminal mischief and graffiti.

Meanwhile, more than a dozen anti-ICE protesters were arrested for blocking traffic on the Brooklyn Bridge in New York City on the same day Tijerina's vandalism occurred. Protesters chanted slogans equating NYPD with ICE and demanded the release of Oscar Belgal, an illegal immigrant from the Dominican Republic who was detained by ICE agents in the Bronx following a shooting incident earlier that month.

Politicians, particularly Republicans, expressed outrage over these incidents, highlighting what they view as increasing lawlessness and disregard for American values.
