- On August 7, Nancy Mace wrote that Muslims holding public office posed a threat, and on August 9 she reinforced a statement about Islamophobia and radical Islamists.
- During the CNN interview, Mace said she meant elected Muslim officials and named Zohran Mamdani, Hasan Piker and Abdul El-Sayed.
- Jimenez said there was no indication that Mamdani was bringing such ideals into New York City governance and noted that El-Sayed had apologized for an earlier remark.
- Jimenez invoked the First Amendment and Article 6 as protections for religious freedom and against religious tests for public office, while Mace opposed public Islamic practices.
"Every single Muslim holding public office in America is a trojan horse," Mace wrote Friday. "And a threat to both national security and our republic. We refuse to be silent."— Nancy Mace; tweets criticizing Muslims in public office and her CNN Newsroom appearance discussing the statements

- Prosecutor Ronald Flores Yáñez said illegal mining had already entered Tambopata National Reserve, where hundreds of dredges could be seen.
- According to Peruvian Navy official Renato Miranda, a three-day operation destroyed 56 motors, 78 mining rafts and 13,751 gallons (52,050 liters) of fuel valued at more than 15 million soles ($4 million).
- Illegal mining declined in parts of Madre de Dios after Operation Mercury in 2019, but miners later moved back toward protected areas.
- Authorities acknowledge that raids alone are insufficient, while prosecutors are pursuing not only equipment but also the financiers and profits behind the mining.
We can attest today that they have already entered the Tambopata National Reserve.— Ronald Flores Yáñez, deputy prosecutor for Peru's Office of the Attorney General, told The Associated Press.
