Fishkill Resident Arrested for Alleged Swatting Incident
**Fishkill, NY** – The Dutchess County Sheriff’s Office has reported the arrest of Kieran T. Maddock, 41, from Fishkill, in connection with a swatting incident that occurred early morning on Tuesday.

Maddock faces charges of Falsely Reporting an Incident in the second degree, classified as a felony. After his processing, he was arraigned in the Town of East Fishkill Court and released, with a scheduled court appearance on April 2 at 5 p.m.

Brooklyn Resident Arrested on Terrorism and Immigration Fraud Charges
**Brooklyn, NY** – Mansuri Manuchekhri, a 33-year-old resident of Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn, was arrested on Wednesday for allegedly conspiring to support ISIS and ISIS-K, unlawful possession of firearms, and immigration fraud. The arrest was made the same day, and his initial court appearance took place in the Eastern District of New York in the afternoon.
Attorney General Pam Bondi emphasized the Department of Justice’s zero-tolerance policy for terrorism, stating they are committed to prosecuting those who threaten American citizens. FBI Director Kash Patel highlighted the efforts to prevent terrorism, noting Manuchekhri allegedly sent funds to ISIS affiliates. The Justice Department, led by Sue Bai, is focused on preventing the exploitation of immigration and financial systems.
Allegedly, Manuchekhri entered the United States from Tajikistan on a tourist visa in June 2016 but overstayed after the visa expired in December 2016. In a bid to gain legal status, he allegedly entered into a sham marriage in March 2017, which was never approved due to his failure to provide necessary documentation.
