On April 3, 2025, Savannah Craven Antao was out in Harlem, conducting street interviews for Live Action, a pro-life advocacy group. She was asking passersby about their views on Planned Parenthood and abortion when she crossed paths with Brianna Rivers. What started as a conversation quickly escalated when Rivers, an abortion rights supporter, learned of Antao’s pro-life stance. After a tense exchange, Rivers threw a punch, striking Antao above the eye and causing a deep cut. Antao’s husband, Henry, stepped in, calling 911 as blood streamed down her face.
On January 4, 2025, Paulsboro Councilman Theodore D. Holloway was stopped by a local police officer after allegedly failing to come to a complete stop at a stop sign.

Rather than acknowledging the violation, he emphasized his political position, stating that he was the one who "hired" the officer and should not be treated like an ordinary citizen.
