Good morning, Waco.

A man was arrested by Waco police after he tried to stab an employee closing the front door of a nursing facility after being asked to leave (reports came from facility staff).

Protesters gathered outside the Waco courthouse Monday in the rain to oppose ICE detaining Noe Guerrero — whose charges were dropped despite his sister saying he had proper documentation and his employer disputing the immigration claims — while he remains in federal custody.

Waco father Noe Fermin Guerrero-Mendieta was moved from McLennan County Jail to an ICE detention center in Conroe after his charges were dropped on August 1, and his lawyer said she was not given a reason for his continued detention (ICE agents said he is under investigation for criminal activity).

Region 12 named its Teachers of the Year with both the elementary and secondary winners coming from Waco ISD—marking the first time since 2011 that both honors were awarded to teachers from the same district.

The Abbott Panthers held their first indoor practice due to weather as they prepare for the season without seniors—head coach Kyle Crawford said the young players showed strong leadership over the summer.

Former Baylor linebacker Dillon Doyle accepted a coaching role with the Buffalo Bills after a six-week internship and will work with his former college teammate Terrel Bernard — he thanked Coach Drinkall and the CMU staff for the opportunity.
