pass for for some of these comments. i counted yesterday, musk tweeted at least 94 times and retweeted dozens of other times. so he's putting so much out there, it's like an avalanche. it's hard to keep up. but in this case, when he was decrying 60 minutes, even many of his own fans said, hey, wait a minute, you're going too far. you said you were in support of all free speech. what are you doing? talking about jail time. it's an interesting example of how even musk's allies and fans can hold him accountable sometimes. >> and brian, you've written eloquently on the difference between the discussion over free speech and what you call favored speech. explain what you mean by that. >> right. i don't think we're really oftentimes having arguments over free speech. what we're having are arguments over favored speech versus disfavored speech. and right now, the trump administration clearly favors certain kinds of speech. trump signed an executive order saying he was reversing censorship at the same time that he signed other executive orders, policing word choice, policing certain

word use. so there's a kind of hypocrisy there. and it's oftentimes about favored speech. whatever the administration is approving of that current time versus disfavored speech right now, the associated press is disfavored. the ap has been banned from the oval office and air force one. the ap is contemplating legal action to try to reverse that. that's an example of not free speech, but disfavored speech right now. >> all right, brian stelter, great to see you. everyone go immediately open the reliable sources newsletter, available in an email box near you. a new hour of cnn news central starts now. new video just in of the moment. the delta flight crashed on landing in toronto and then flips upside down. every person on board survives. the new video, also new detail also on the investigation now underway and face to face. the secretary of state speaking out just as he wraps up the first major talks with russia to end its war in

ukraine. the four principals, marco rubio says that they have agreed upon. and the fate of new york city mayor eric adams could be decided today. what new york's governor is now considering is she calls a meeting to figure out a quote, unquote, path forward. i'm kate bolduan with john berman. sara is out today. this is cnn news central. >> all right. >> into our newsroom just a few minutes ago, two new video showing the crash in toronto that left that delta flight upside down. let's take a look at the newest one here. you can see this delta flight coming in on what appears to be a routine landing at toronto pearson international airport. but then as it hits the ground, the fire, the smoke and in the distance there, that's the plane flipping

over. an extraordinary vantage point. a different view. we also have this morning. that's from the front. you can see the plane coming down and it looks to be landing hard right there. you can see it coming down, perhaps a little more steeply, a little harder than it should be. then the smoke again, and then the flames, the wind gusts at the time 40mph. there was snow blowing in the air. the visibility was limited. let's get right to cnn's jason carroll, live in toronto this morning for the latest information you're picking up on the ground there, jason. >> well, you know, first and foremost, the more we look at that video that you just saw there, john, the more it becomes clear just how fortunate all 80 people were on board that flight, that everyone made it out alive again, 18 injuries, but everyone made it off that flight alive. and still so many questions about exactly what went wrong here. i mean, the flight was cleared on approach. as we know, emergency officials

say the runway was dry and that there were, quote, no cross conditions. many of the passengers that have spoken to cnn, basically they're all saying the same thing, that everything seemed normal as the flight was approaching. and but once it landed, it landed hard. one passenger saying it was almost immediately after landing. the plane was on its side. >> when we hit, it was just a super hard like hit the ground and the plane went sideways. and i believe we skidded like on our side and then flipped over on our back. it was mass chaos. i was upside down. the lady next to me was upside down. um, we kind of let ourselves go and fell to hit the ceiling, which is surreal feeling. um, and then everybody was just like, get out, get out, get out. >> and the cabin crew did their

part getting everyone off that flight in due time. again, that passenger also said that he saw a fireball outside. so you can imagine what it was like for these people on board. uh, you know, landing, having that hard landing on their side upside down, all in short order. investigators do have some good factors playing in their favor. first and foremost, foremost, they have easy access to the flight data recorder as well as the cockpit voice recorder. they're going to be able to interview the cabin crew, interview the pilot and copilot, trying to get more input in terms of what happened in those final moments before the plane landed. but even with all of that, john, you will know. you very well know that it's going to probably be some time before we know exactly what happened here. john. >> it will take some time, but we should get some firsthand accounts very quickly. jason carroll, thank you so much for your reporting from toronto, kate. let's go now, john, to the breaking news on the war in ukraine. the first real talks to

end russia's invasion. they just wrapped and moments ago, we heard directly from the three top u.s. officials who met face to face with russian leaders in saudi arabia this morning, secretary of state marco rubio calling today a first step in a long and difficult journey. listen. >> the work remains today as the first step of a long and difficult journey, but an important one. and president trump is committed to bringing an end to this conflict. >> cnn's elena trainor is at the white house alex marquardt in riyadh. alex, let me start with you. this. this meeting wraps. what's the latest? and what now? >> well, kate. >> the two sides emerged from. >> this meeting. >> at. >> a palace. >> here in riyadh after. >> about 4.5 hours. there was a positive take from the. >> american side. steve witkoff middle east envoy calling it a. very solid and positive. a bit more measured from the russians. >> one of the negotiators. >> calling it not bad. the foreign.

>> minister. >> sergey lavrov. >> saying that it was useful. i think the. >> bottom line here, kate, is that neither. >> side is is walking away with any kind of agreement on any solutions. or conclusions for what should be done in ukraine. it's clear that this was about continuing to. >> talk and. >> getting the discussions going. the american side talked about the need to get to a permanent peace. our colleague jennifer hansler, who is traveling with secretary of state marco rubio, asked the american delegation. >> what that would. >> look like. and this is what the national security advisor mike waltz said. >> this needs to be a permanent end to the war uh, and not, uh, a a temporary end, as we've seen in the past. we know just the practical reality is that there is going to be some discussion of territory, uh, and there's going to be discussion of security guarantees.

>> so, kate, the american. >> delegation really making it clear that this was a meeting to follow. >> up. >> on the phone call last week between president trump and putin. this is talks about more talks. but, um, rubio did highlight four principles that the two sides agreed on. the first of which is to improve the functionality of both the embassies in washington and moscow. both the russian american embassies have been gutted in the past three years, with diplomats and intelligence officials being kicked out. the second was to name a high level negotiating team for ukraine, and then they talked about laying the groundwork for cooperation on on geopolitical opportunities. and very interestingly, rubio talks about historic economic and investment potential opportunities. so it's clear that they are looking past the war in ukraine. and then the final thing that they agreed on was just that the five men would continue to talk. kate, i think in situations like this, we often have to read between the lines to to see the

differences between the american and the russians. take, um, when you look at what the americans said, they put ukraine right at the top of of their statement following this meeting. the russians, they put it right at the bottom. it is their last talking point. and then there were questions about whether president trump and putin would meet anytime soon. that's something that we have heard from the trump administration. we are hearing that it is not going to take place next week, unlikely to do so. according to the russians, there has been no date set for that. kate. >> alex, great to have you there. thank you so much for your reporting. let's also now go to the white house. alayna treene standing by for us. and elena, have you heard? have you? is there any word from the white house, the president reacting to what's playing out in saudi arabia yet this morning? >> we have not yet heard from the white house specifically or the president himself. but look, i think from what we are hearing from the delegation there in riyadh, specifically what we heard from steve witkoff, who is

donald trump's middle east envoy. but as, of course, as we're seeing really taking on this ukraine russia portfolio as well, he said that the meeting went better than he could have expected. he said that it was very solid, and i know that going into today, when i did talk to white house officials and trump administration officials, they said really that they wanted it to be, as rubio put it, a first step in what they knew would be a longer process, but also to make sure that they weren't leaving anything off the table, that everything would be on the table as they walked in to these discussions and broader talks. one thing that really was striking to me in listening to both or all of, you know, rubio, witkoff and walts was as, as alex put it, which is, you know, this is going to be a broader conversation. but the goal is not only to find a lasting end to this war, but also to establish better relations moving forward. walt's put it like this, he said, unlike what could be a better relationship with moscow moving forward. um, but another thing as well, that was very clear. and alex brought this up as well, is that, you

know, we heard rubio specifically talk about the importance of the european union. talk about the importance of ukraine and having a seat at the table moving forward. of course, we know behind the scenes, one of the big concerns has been european allies worrying that they are going to be left behind and isolated in these talks. so notable that they made that such a priority to discuss today. and then, of course, i think just pointing out what rubio said as well, that all sides are going to need to make concessions. so, look, they seem very open minded. but again, a first step in what will likely be a very long conversation moving forward. >> kate and elena, is there a question of who's going to be leading these negotiations? you have rubio, walz and steve witkoff in the room. rubio talked. i'm not sure if it was rubio or waltz talking about needing to establish the team that's going to be leading these negotiations. is it clear or is that is that even in question? >> you know, it's interesting because when he said that, i was curious what that team would

look like. i think we have to obviously do more reporting to see what who they are thinking for that role. one thing that has been clear is that the president very much trusts steve witkoff to do a lot of this negotiating, particularly when it comes to russia. i would remind you that last week it was wikoff he sent to russia, and he we reported that wikoff met directly with putin while in moscow. and as part of that discussion and negotiation for the release of the american prisoner marc fogel. so i do believe wikoff is going to continue to have a key role in this. of course, rubio and waltz as well. a question now is, you know, what will keith kellogg, who is the special envoy for russia and ukraine, what will his role be for my conversations with white house officials, it's been clear that he's really dealing with ukraine and the europeans on a lot of this. unclear, though, if that's going to change behind the scenes following this meeting today. kate. >> yeah, great reporting as always. elena. thank you so much. still ahead for us. what to do about eric adams largest city in america is in a full on

political crisis right now as the new york governor calls a meeting today to decide whether she will remove new york city's mayor from office and the leader of a cult like group known as the zizians, now arrested after the group was connected to a string of murders across the country. and an epic north american rematch usa versus canada, this time for the championship. and how many after how many fights broke out in just mere seconds the last time they met? what could go wrong? we'll be. >> back. >> cnn news central, brought to you by ensure nutrition for strength and energy. i brought in. >> ensure max. >> protein with 30g of protein. >> those who tried. >> me felt more energy. >> in just two weeks. >> here. >> i'll take that. >> ensure max protein, 30g protein, one gram sugar and a protein blend. >> to feed. >> muscles up to. >> seven hours. >> tap into etsy for original and affordable home and style

quote, i don't have right now a tremendous amount of support on this. legally, there's that whole constitution thing. but remember, i face longer odds on many other topics in my life. with us now, cnn political commentator maria cardona and republican strategist joe opinion. joe. my question to you is really. >> look, i. >> think people are free to. >> explore whatever they're going to explore. certainly steve bannon is an intelligent man. but the constitution seems to be pretty clear on this. the language is pretty concise and for a reason. and so, look, i think ultimately there are other things at the top of the republican agenda. certainly the president's agenda, looking at what's happening right now, trying to bring this war of expansion in europe to an end, trying to sit down and make sure that that can be ushered to a position where the people in ukraine can be saved, where the russian soldiers are not losing their lives. so all of that, i think, certainly higher on the list of things to discuss than perhaps what's going on right

there. >> you know, whether it's clear or not, as we say in a few good men, the constitution is crystal clear. are we clear? crystal clear. however, maria, where am i looking? here. all right. however, the issue here, maria, is that, you know, donald trump kind of brings this up occasionally, too. there's some weird, you know, he doesn't sort of dance away from it either. >> of course. >> not, john. >> because we. >> know that donald trump. is greedy. >> hungry for power. >> and that that. >> is. >> essentially his goal. >> every day that he wakes up. >> is to have as. >> much executive. >> power that is. >> unchecked. >> unlimited, and frankly. >> as we have seen. >> with a lot of his. >> moves, unconstitutional. but sadly. we know. >> that for this. >> group. >> for donald trump on down in his. >> administration. >> they don't. think of the constitution much more. >> highly than they. >> think of. >> toilet paper. >> and i think that is. the problem.

>> moving forward. >> and we. >> do need to have. >> vigilance on this., because. >> as we have. >> seen, everything. >> that donald trump talks about is something that he tries to do. >> i think that might be a bit. overstated. i think certainly most of the things that are at the top of the president's agenda fall well within the bounds of the constitution. the issue is that i think that people on the other side of the aisle, perhaps look at it with a jaundiced eye because of the man that ultimately might be signing the executive order. so, yes, i think at the end of the day, there are some things that people across the spectrum believe to be the case, including the fact that a president can only serve two terms. as steve bannon himself said, he does not have a lot of support on this right now. so i think ultimately, again, many of these things become red herrings to distract from the fact that in less than a month, a whole lot of good has happened on behalf of the american people. >> we'll see. we'll see what the courts ultimately say about the constitutionality of some of these actions. it could very well be that they do agree with you on some points and not on others birthright citizenship. we'll just have to see. before we move on from this subject,

completely here, i want to bring up the fact that claudia tenney, a member of congress from new york, a republican, is proposing making donald trump's birthday a national federal holiday. joe, so i'm going to put this to you first again. i know there are other important things going on, but how much time should a u.s. member of congress be spending in her office proposing making donald trump's birthday a national holiday? >> well, look, first of all, congresswoman tenney does a tremendous job down in dc. not only has he proposed making president trump's birthday a national holiday, she has also sent a criminal referral over to the department of justice. let's talk about what we're going to have. the 51 former members of u.s. intelligence held accountable. so look, respectfully, i don't think she's spending a great deal of time with it, but i think the press has spent a great deal of time talking about it because of the fact that everything that touches president trump results in some type of hyperbolic response. >> this is the first time i've ever talked about it. well.

>> not you out loud. >> to be. >> clear, maria, what's your point on that? you know. >> i think it's. >> a waste of time, frankly, john, but i do think that what it does, it gives. democrats the opportunity. and this is something that we need to be talking about every single. >> day from. >> here. >> on out, is that the things that this president is doing and this administration are focused on do. absolutely nothing to bring down the price of groceries, gas. >> and rent. >> which is what donald trump. >> ran on. >> and what a lot of the voters, the non maga voters that voted for him, counted on him to work on. and everything that he has done from day. one is focused on. inflicting chaos, division, fear and pain across the board to so many. communities in this country. and that is. >> a great. >> message for. >> democrats going into. >> the 2026 congressional elections, because republicans are enthralled with this president and they're doing absolutely nothing to do the work of the american people,

which is bringing down the cost of. >> groceries, gas. >> and rent and dealing with inflation. >> i would simply say that one man's chaos is another man's reprieve. when you look at what's at the top of the agenda, making sure that we can secure the border, restore american sovereignty, having the largest deportation in the modern history of this nation. these are things that even the polling here at cnn shows that there is bipartisan transpartisan agreement on. so, yes, democrats have the right to frame this however they choose. but i think if you look at the results in the latest election and the polls coming out every single week, they can double down on this nonsense if they want. but president trump and the republican party is moving forward on items. the economy. >> is nonsense. >> joseph. >> no, i don't think the economy is nonsense. i think suggesting that's what in less than 30 days, that you're going to actually be able to reduce the cost of eggs in the midst of conditions, said that have very little. >> to do. >> i have to jump in to.

>> bring down the cost of eggs. >> day one. >> well, as. >> mario. >> i mean. >> i've said that. >> we we. >> have we. >> have no pain, we. >> have no. >> third term. >> we have. >> no third term. the reality is here, maria, the constitution is clear. >> joe. maria, this segment is over. all right. this morning, the fate of new york city mayor eric adams hangs in the balance. will the new york governor force him out of office in 25 million americans reportedly have a fear of flying? new details on why this phobia is so prevalent. might have a few ideas on that and what you can do about it. >> this part. >> changed my life. >> superman is now the winner of the bafta award for best documentary. chris wanted. >> to. >> change the world. >> people are literally walking. >> because of him. >> superman. the christopher reeve story. >> saturday at seven. >> on cnn. >> get in on. buy one foot long. get one free right now in the subway app. that's right. buy one foot long sub, get another

>> from this moment on, we have the power. >> aew collision saturdays at 8:00 on tnt and now streaming on max. >> the path forward. that is what the democratic governor of new york is saying. it is time to discuss today when it comes to the democratic mayor of new york city. that's because governor kathy hochul is now considering whether she will take the extraordinary step to remove mayor eric adams from office. the governor announced the meeting after four of the city's top officials quit in protest, saying they could not they could no longer serve under adams. this is all connected to the federal corruption charges he faces. the trial he was about to be that was about to begin, and a top justice department official directing prosecutors in new york to drop that case against eric adams. cnn's gloria pazmino has more on this. gloria, what are you hearing about? what more are you learning about this meeting happening today between the governor and others? >> well, well, kate, it's not only an extraordinary state for the governor to take. it

actually hasn't happened in the city's modern history, at least in the last 100 years. and she's made it clear that she does not take this lightly at all. and for that reason, she is meeting with top democrats here in new york, including congressman hakeem jeffries, congressman greg meeks, the reverend al sharpton, and several other leaders who will be in attendance at her manhattan office today to have this discussion about what to do next. now, we should mention that the governor does have the power to remove the mayor, but it's not a simple process. there is a due process that goes along with her taking that executive action. so this is not necessarily the kind of thing that would make anything be resolved overnight. she has said that she has given it serious thought, and she has also said that she's very concerned about the developments that have happened here in new york city and in this administration in the last two weeks, including those high profile resignations from four top city officials, which happened yesterday. this is a real moment where there's a

lot of lawmakers here in the city, including the governor, questioning where whether city hall is steady enough to make sure that government and services are being delivered to new yorkers. in the meantime, kate, we know that this is all as part of the the fallout that we have seen from that doj memo, this ordering the dismissal of adams charges that has not been officially done yet. that is a move that has to be made by the judge overseeing this case. and we just learned in the last few minutes that there is a hearing set for tomorrow. the judge has called in both parties to talk about this, so we might actually see some sort of resolution on whether these charges are going to get dropped tomorrow, or at least would get will get a signal from the judge to see how he is looking at this and what his thoughts on the doj memo are. okay. >> all right. gloria, thank you so much for that update. and at least one group is now asking that federal judge to appoint a

special counsel before making a decision on the justice department's directive to dismiss the case against adam. common cause is a public interest advocacy group and writes to the judge. this, in part with the government agreeing with mr. adams to dismiss the indictment. no party before the court is representing the public interest. we respectfully ask the court to appoint a special counsel to advise the court in resolving this unfortunate matter. joining us right now is nick ackerman, an attorney representing common cause and former assistant u.s. attorney for the southern district, who has been on with us many times. nick, thanks for being here. you are urging the federal judge, just as i said, to reject the dismissal request one and look towards and look towards the special counsel. everything that i've read, i know i'm not an attorney, is that federal judges have little ability under law to dismiss or dismiss charges. that to reject a dismissal when the government requests to drop criminal charges. why do you think this one is different? >> well, this. >> one is a. lot different because. >> it has.

>> to do with. >> it has to be. >> done with the leave of the court. >> and that was inserted. >> in the rule leave of the court. >> in case there was. a situation. >> where it was corrupt and it was not in the public interest. >> and we had. >> common cause truly believe that. >> what we have here. >> is a corrupt quid pro quo, where basically the government. >> has come in. >> told eric adams, we're going to drop the charges. um, but you've got to dance to our. tune and we're going to put. in a. safety valve for us, that it will be dismissed without prejudice. >> and what that. >> means is they can reinstate the charges if eric adams doesn't do what they want to do. i mean. >> this reminds me. >> of that old. 1956 movie, the. invasion of the body snatchers. >> they've basically taken. >> over eric adams. we no longer. >> have an independent. >> mayor of the city. >> of. >> new york, and he's going to have to look over his back every two seconds to make sure he's following directions. from

washington. that is not the way our system should work. >> and with your request also, there is a lot going on. gloria just mentioned a hearing being called tomorrow. you have you have governor hochul now. considering whether she would remove eric adams from office. how what could tomorrow's hearing mean for what you're asking for? what could governor hochul consideration of removing eric adams mean change in your calculation? >> well, i think what we need to do and what common cause is looking to do is to bring out all of the. >> facts here. >> it's very important that the public become as much educated as possible about how this deal was made, how this corrupt deal went forward. this is a very unusual situation where we have written out in papers that have now come out letters between the acting u.s. attorney danielle sassoon and the acting deputy. attorney general. emil bove, where essentially it is so obvious that there is a quid pro quo. this was all illegal. and i

think that the end result may be one of two things on kathy hochul may remove him from office, which would be appropriate under these circumstances. and two, there's a question about whether or not the state should come in and take over this case, because even if the the judge dismissed the case in federal court, it doesn't mean that this couldn't be brought again in the state court, criminal court, because donald trump has no control over the state and he has no authority to pardon anybody on the state. >> but what could happen tomorrow, do you think tomorrow could mean with this hearing? do you think that the judge could announce the that the charges are dropped? >> oh, i doubt very much if that's going to happen tomorrow. i think if i had to make the best guess here and again, it's a guess. i think what he's going to say is that there's going to be a hearing. he's going to ask people when they're available, and i think he's going to lay out a

schedule as to moving forward on this. this is not something i think he's going to decide. um, you know, in 24 hours. >> what. >> do you think your chances are of getting a special counsel appointed? >> i think it's very good this happened with the the flynn case. michael flynn in washington, dc. and that situation, it was the same thing that the judge judge there brought in a special counsel. because the problem here is that the public doesn't have a seat at the table. the only two parties here are the department of justice and eric adams, and both of them want the case dismissed. there is no litigant that's actually arguing in favor of the public interest here. and to point out to the judge the corrupt deal that was struck. >> this is very interesting. what's going to be happening just in the next 24 hours. nick, thank you so much for bringing this to us. thank you. appreciate it. so the u.s. and russia wrapped the first talks about ending russia's war on ukraine. not at the table today. was ukraine. still, the u.s. delegation says that ukraine is being consulted and will have a seat at the table. so what does ukraine think about all of this?

presence of ukraine. u.s. national security adviser michael wahl says the negotiations very well will focus on territory and security guarantees. >> this needs to be a permanent end to the war. and not, uh, a a temporary end, as we've seen in the past. we know just the practical reality is that there is going to be some discussion of territory, uh, and there's going to be discussion of security guarantees. >> so the ukrainian president, volodymyr zelenskyy, insists there is no agreement possible without ukraine. with us now is the ukrainian economist, former acting minister of ukraine economic development. sir, thank you so much for being with us. you heard the u.s. national security advisor saying, we know there will be discussions about territory. how do you feel about that? >> look, i. >> feel that as we are trying to reach peace in ukraine and what

we can definitely say, i think for all of us, first of all, for ukrainians, is that peace is very much wanted, right? people are dying every day. it has been going on for three years. ukrainians are very. so is the world. so this needs to be stopped somehow. and of course, in any configuration, any situation, stopping this requires negotiations. and these will include negotiations and territory of course. it is also important that these negotiations do not get, let's say hijacked by russia, for example, and kind of end up discussing what russia wants without, uh, ukrainian interests being properly represented, without the west formulating a properly well-thought-through position that would, uh, allow us to come out of them in a balanced fashion, right, with the peace agreement that is actually sustainable, so that we do not get more war in future and that we can actually start restoring the region and developing again. right. because

this terrible catastrophe has not only destroyed lives, but essentially for three years, ukraine has ceased to develop at all. right. it's a war camp we our economy is not growing. our people are busy learning how to fight rather than how to. procreate. eyes right, which are actually quite good at. and the nations around us are in the same position. everyone is militarizing. we do not want that. okay? we need we we definitely need to get through it. so i feel good that this is happening, as do more than half of ukrainians. according to the gallup polls that we have. but of course, everyone is wary of i mean, this is still war and negotiations are still war. and this is all high cost. and, uh, it's important that ukraine is properly represented. their europe is represented there. it's important that a lot of things happen in a correct fashion. but the process itself is right. i feel it is the right

thing. and the good thing that we are trying to get to peace. >> you mentioned economic development inside ukraine. the united states, the united states treasury secretary made a proposal to president zelenskyy that the u.s. would take a 50% interest in the mineral deposits in ukraine. this, i think, is within your area of expertise. what do you think about that? >> look. >> i've seen the graphs that have been circulated in the international media, and they are extremely raw. it's not even a memorandum of understanding yet. it's more like a general idea. uh, somewhat unbalanced, i would say, because i think, okay, this has to imply some kind of security guarantees from the u.s. in principle, this, if developed well and if thought through well and agreed upon by both sides, it would actually be a decent instrument of letting the u.s. investors into

ukrainian economy. but it has to be a much more detailed document for that, because right now i don't even see how to implement what's written there. it's just general idea. it's not even clear what kind of resources are we talking about, because they are very different. and if we're talking about rare earth, for example, something that is strategic for the u.s., it's actually less about the resources line on the ground. it's more about processing. it's about creating a processing industry on the ground, which could be a great idea for ukraine and for the u.s. as well. but this needs to be elaborated on in the document. and someone needs to come and invest money into it. so it has to be much more detailed for it to work. it's very low resolution at this moment. >> got it. and i heard a lot of people say it's got to have much more specific, um, returns for that investment as well. promises of security from the united states, which were not part of that. pablo, we appreciate your time this morning. thank you very much. the leader of a cult like group known as the zizians, arrested after the group was connected to
