Cannabis seizures at checkpoints by US-Mexico border frustrate state-authorized pot industryOn April 19, 2024The U.S. Border Patrol has asserted its authority… Read more SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — The U.S. Border Patrol is asserting its authority to seize cannabis shipments — including commercial, state-authorized supplies — as licensed cannabis providers file complaints that more than $300,000 worth of marijuana has been confiscated in recent months at highway checkpoints in southern New Mexico. New Mexico's Democratic governor says the disruptions prompted a discussion this week with U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, whose impeachment charges were dismissed this week. Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham says she voiced concerns that the scrutiny of cannabis companies appears to be greater in New Mexico than states with regulated markets that aren't along the U.S. border with Mexico. MARIJUANA USE LINKED TO INCREASED ASTHMA RISK IN YOUTH, SAYS STUDY: ‘WORRISOME' HEALTH IMPLICATIONS Authorized cannabis sales in New Mexico have exceeded $1 billion since regulation and taxation of the recreational market began two years ago. Yet cannabis transport drivers say they have been detained hours while supplies are seized at permanent Border Patrol checkpoints that filter inbound traffic for unauthorized migrants and illegal narcotics, typically located about 60 miles (100 kilometers) from the U.S. border. "Secretary Mayorkas assured the governor that federal policies with respect to legalized cannabis have not changed," said Lujan Grisham spokesperson Michael Coleman in an email. "Regardless, the governor and her administration are working on a strategy to protect New Mexico’s cannabis industry." Managers at 10 cannabis businesses including transporters last week petitioned New Mexico's congressional delegation to broker free passage of shipments, noting that jobs and investments are at stake, and that several couriers have been sidelined for "secondary inspection" and fingerprinted at Border Patrol checkpoints. "We request that operators who have had product federally seized should be allowed to either get their product returned or be monetarily compensated for the losses they've sustained," the letter states. U.S. Sen. Martin Heinrich said the Department of Homeland Security should be focused on urgent priorities that don't include cannabis suppliers that comply with state law. "Stopping the flow of illicit fentanyl into our country should be the Department of Homeland Security’s focus at these checkpoints, not seizing cannabis that’s being transported in compliance with state law," the senator said in a statement, referring to the parent agency for U.S. Customs and Border Patrol. "New Mexicans are depending on federal law enforcement to do everything they can to keep our communities safe. Our resources should be used to maximize residents’ safety, not distract from it." A public statement Thursday from the U.S. Border Patrol sector overseeing New Mexico provided a reminder that cannabis is still a "Schedule 1" drug, a designation also assigned to heroin and LSD. "Although medical and recreational marijuana may be legal in some U.S. States and Canada, the sale, possession, production and distribution of marijuana or the facilitation of the aforementioned remain illegal under U.S. federal law," the agency's statement said. "Consequently, individuals violating the Controlled Substances Act encountered while crossing the border, arriving at a U.S. port of entry, or at a Border Patrol checkpoint may be deemed inadmissible and/or subject to, seizure, fines, and/or arrest." Matt Kennicott, an owner of Socorro-based High Maintenance, a cannabis business, said seizures by Border Patrol started in February without warning and create uncertainty about shipments that include samples for consumer-safety testing. He said cannabis producers in southernmost New Mexico rely on testing labs farther north, on the other side of Border Patrol checkpoints, to comply with safeguards against contaminants like mold or pesticides. "It's not a little confusing, it's a lot confusing," he said. "We're trying to figure out where this directive came from." | FAA investigates Rockies after deleted video shows coach in cockpit during flightOn April 19, 2024The Federal Aviation Administration and United Air… Read more A social media post has prompted an investigation by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and United Airlines after a Colorado Rockies coach was seen sitting in the cockpit of a chartered flight while in the air. The FAA confirmed in a statement to Fox News Digital that the incident, which came to light in a now-deleted Instagram post, is under investigation. "The FAA is investigating this event. Federal regulations restrict flight deck access to specific individuals. We do not comment on the details of open investigations," the statement said. CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM The incident centers around hitting coach Hensley Meulens during a chartered flight from Denver to Toronto. According to ESPN, Meulens posted a video showing him sitting in the pilot's seat. "Had some fun in the cockpit on our flight from Denver to Toronto. Thanks to the captain and the first officer of our United charter that allowed me this great experience," the caption said. ALASKA AIRLINES PASSENGER CAPTURED BY FBI AFTER REPEATEDLY GROPING WOMAN ON FLIGHT United Airlines also released a statement confirming that the incident was reported to the FAA and that the pilots involved in the situation have been "withheld." "We’re deeply disturbed by what we see in that video, which appears to show an unauthorized person in the flight deck at cruise altitude while the autopilot was engaged. As a clear violation of our safety and operational policies, we’ve reported the incident to the FAA and have withheld the pilots from service while we conduct an investigation," the statement said, via The Athletic. The Rockies did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment. The team was traveling to Toronto for a three-game series against the Blue Jays at the time of flight incident.

National Guard delays Alaska staffing changes that threatened national security, civilian rescuesOn April 19, 2024The Air National Guard has delayed a plan for its… Read more ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — The Air National Guard has delayed its plan to downgrade the status of about 80 members of its Alaska unit, a move that would have threatened national security and civilian rescues in the nation’s most remote state. The Alaska Air National Guard confirmed the delay in an email to The Associated Press on Friday. AIR NATIONAL GUARD CHANGES IN ALASKA COULD AFFECT NATIONAL SECURITY, CIVILIAN RESCUES, STAFFERS SAY Efforts by the state’s politicians and Alaskans "have been instrumental in getting this delay which will allow everyone involved the time to conduct more thorough research and analysis," wrote Alan Brown, an Alaska guard spokesperson. The Air National Guard headquarters in Virginia did not respond to emails from the AP seeking comment. The changes to balance top-earning positions among the other 53 state and territorial units will still be completed by Oct. 1. Alaska was slated to convert 80 of the highly paid Active Guard and Reserve members — who are essentially the equivalent of full-time active-duty military — to dual status tech positions, a classification with lower wages, less appealing benefits and different duties. Many say they will quit rather than accept the changes, which could include seeing their pay cut by more than 50%. Local guard leaders argued Alaska needed the personnel in the higher classification to fulfill its requirements to conduct national security missions that other units don’t have, such as monitoring for ballistic missile launches from nations such as Russia, North Korea and China. The Alaska guard also said its ability to fly refueling tankers to accompany U.S. and Canadian fighter jets when they intercept Russian bombers that come close to Alaska or Canada would be greatly curtailed. The guard also plays a vital role in conducting civilian search-and-rescue missions in Alaska, sending military helicopters and cargo planes through violent storms to rescue people from small Alaska Native villages when weather prevents air ambulances from flying. Last year, the guard conducted 159 such missions, including flying to an Alaska island just 2 miles from a Russian island to pick up a pregnant woman with abdominal pains. In one recent rescue, two paramedics parachuted into an Alaska Native village because that was the fastest way to reach a critically ill woman with internal bleeding. Another involved flying to a western Alaska village to pick up a pregnant woman who began bleeding when her water broke and delivering her to a hospital in Anchorage, more than 400 miles (644 kilometers) away. If the staff conversions went through, the guard estimated the number of rescues would drop to about 50 a year. The downgrades in Alaska have been delayed until Sept. 30, 2025, giving the service more time to study how the changes would affect its Alaska operations and if the changes should be made at all, according to a joint statement from the state's congressional delegation. "The strain this uncertainty put on Alaska Air National Guard members –- who Alaskans depend on in the most dire of emergencies –- for them to worry about their jobs, their benefits, their ability to provide for their families, is unacceptable," U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski, a Republican, said in the statement. "Delaying the implementation of the misguided directives is a win -– but it should never have come to this," she said. | No perjury charges for British soldiers accused of lying in Bloody Sunday probeOn April 19, 202415 British soldiers accused of lying to an inquiry… Read more Fifteen British soldiers who allegedly lied to an inquiry into Bloody Sunday, one of the deadliest days of the decades-long Northern Ireland conflict, will not face perjury charges, prosecutors said Friday. There was insufficient evidence to convict the soldiers or a former alleged member of the Irish Republican Army about their testimony before an inquiry into the 1972 killings of 13 civilians by Britain’s Parachute Regiment in Derry, also known as Londonderry, the Public Prosecution Service said. An initial investigation into the slayings on Jan. 30, 1972 concluded the soldiers were defending themselves from a mob of IRA bombers and gunmen. But a 12-year-long inquiry concluded in 2010 that soldiers unjustifiably opened fire on unarmed and fleeing civilians and then lied about it for decades. FORMER BRITISH SOLDIER TO STAND TRIAL FOR 1972 'BLOODY SUNDAY' KILLINGS IN NORTHERN IRELAND Families of the victims were outraged by the decision. John Kelly, whose brother Michael was killed by paratroopers, spoke for the group and called it an "affront to the rule of law." "Why is it that the people of Derry cannot forget the events of Bloody Sunday, yet the Parachute Regiment, who caused all of the deaths and injury on that day, apparently cannot recall it?" Kelly said. "The answer to this question is quite simple but painfully obvious: The British Army lied its way through the conflict in the north." Although a quarter century has passed since the Good Friday peace accord in 1998 largely put to rest three decades of violence involving Irish republican and British loyalist militants and U.K. soldiers, "the Troubles″ still reverberate. Some 3,600 people were killed — most in Northern Ireland, though the IRA also set off bombs in England. Only one ex-paratrooper from Bloody Sunday, known as Soldier F, faces prosecution for two murders and five attempted murders. He was among the 15 soldiers who could have faced a perjury charge. While victims continue to seek justice for past carnage, the possibility of a criminal prosecution could soon vanish. The British government passed a Legacy and Reconciliation Bill last year that would have given immunity from prosecution for most offenses by militant groups and British soldiers after May 1. But a Belfast judge ruled in February that the bill does not comply with human rights law. The government is appealing the ruling. Attorney Ciaran Shiels, who represents some of the Bloody Sunday families, said they would not rule out further legal action. "It is of course regrettable that this decision has been communicated to us only today, some 14 years after the inquiry’s unequivocal findings, but less than two weeks before the effective enactment date of the morally bankrupt legacy legislation designed specifically to allow British Army veterans to escape justice for its criminal actions in the north of Ireland," Shiels said. Senior Public Prosecutor John O’Neill said the decision not to bring criminal charges was based on three things: accounts given by soldiers in 1972 were not admissible; much of the evidence the inquiry relied on is not available today; and the inquiry's conclusion that testimony was false did not always meet the criminal standard of proof. "I wish to make clear that these decisions not to prosecute in no way undermine the findings of the Bloody Sunday Inquiry that those killed or injured were not posing a threat to any of the soldiers," O'Neill said. |
Japanese autoworkers narrowly escape suicide bomber in Pakistani port cityOn April 19, 2024A suicide bomber detonated an explosive-laden vest… Read more A suicide bomber detonated his explosive-laden vest near a van carrying Japanese autoworkers in Pakistan's port city of Karachi on Friday, police said. They narrowly escaped the attack but three bystanders were wounded. Separately, an Afghan Taliban religious scholar was killed in an attack in the southwest of Pakistan the previous day. The attack on the van happened when it was heading to an industrial area where the five Japanese nationals worked at Pakistan Suzuki Motors, local police chief Arshad Awan said. He said police escorting the Japanese returned fire after coming under attack, killing an accomplice of the suicide bomber whose remains were found at the scene of the attack. 12 ARRESTED IN CONNECTION TO PAKISTAN SUICIDE BOMBING THAT KILLED 5 CHINESE NATIONALS "All the Japanese who were the target of the attack are safe," Awan said. Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif denounced the attack. In separate statements, they praised police for quickly responding and foiling the attack. They also vowed to eliminate terrorism and prayed for the speedy recovery of the wounded. Images on local news channels showed a damaged van as police officers arrived at the scene. Awan said the three passersby who were wounded in the attack were in stable condition at a hospital. Police were escorting the van after receiving reports about possible attacks on foreigners who are working in Pakistan on various Chinese-funded and other projects, said Tariq Mastoi, a senior police officer. He said a timely and quick response from the guards and police foiled the attack and both attackers were killed. No one immediately claimed responsibility, but suspicion is likely to fall on a small separatist group or the Pakistani Taliban who have stepped up attacks on security forces in recent years. Insurgents have also targeted Chinese who are working in Pakistan on projects relating to the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, which includes a multitude of megaprojects such as road construction, power plants and agriculture. In March, five Chinese and their Pakistani driver were killed when a suicide bomber in northwest Pakistan rammed his explosive-laden car into a vehicle when they were heading to the Dasu Dam, the biggest hydropower project in Pakistan, where they worked. However, Japanese working in Pakistan have not been the target of any such attacks. Karachi is the largest city in Pakistan and the capital of southern Sindh province. Separately, an Afghan Taliban religious scholar, Mohammad Omar Jan Akhundzada, was killed by gunmen inside a mosque in Quetta, the capital of Pakistan's southwestern Baluchistan province, a local police officer Akram Ullah said Friday. No one claimed responsibility for the attack, which happened on Thursday. Chief Afghan Taliban spokesperson Zabihullah Mujahid denounced the killing of Akhundzada on Friday, saying Akhundzada taught at a jihadi seminary in Afghanistan's Kandahar province and was a member of the Taliban oversight committee of Islamic scholars. Many Afghan leaders and scholars had lived in Quetta and elsewhere in Pakistan before the Afghan Taliban seized control of Afghanistan in mid-August 2021 as U.S. and NATO forces withdrew. Most then went back and it was unclear why Akhundzada was still in Pakistan. | Rutgers students want school to sever ties with Tel Aviv UniversityOn April 19, 2024The Rutgers University Student Assembly New Brunsw… Read more Rutgers’ University students want their school, the State University of New Jersey, to sever ties with Tel Aviv University in the wake of the Israel-Palestinian conflict. The Rutgers University Student Assembly New Brunswick (RUSA) posted on their Instagram account that students voted to call for the school to terminate a partnership with Tel Aviv University (TAU) and the results were certified on Tuesday. The vote was conducted through RUSA’s Spring 2024 Election. The student government body announced that the undergraduate student body population voted "yes" for a referendum advocating to sever ties with Tel Aviv University. Over 6,000 students voted "yes" to support the referendum while about 1500 voted "no." The other referendum the students voted "yes" on asked, "Should Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, divest its endowment fund from companies and organizations that profit from, engage in, or contribute to the government of Israel’s human rights violations?" Over 6,000 students voted "yes" to support the referendum while about 1,700 voted "no." VANDERBILT STUDENTS ARRESTED, SUSPENDED AT ROWDY PROTEST OVER ANTI-ISRAEL BALLOT INITIATIVE After voting "yes" on two referendums, the student body added the two measures to their "advocacy agenda." "We applaud the students of Rutgers University-New Brunswick for using their voices to vote, as shown by a large turnout for the Spring 2024 election," RUSA announced. "Rutgers President Jonathan Holloway noted in a message to the Rutgers community earlier this month that the university's partnership with TAU began in 2016 and adds to our fundamental academic and research mission," Dory Devlin, the assistant Vice President of News and Media Relations, told Fox News Digital. Devlin explained further to Fox News Digital that he "traveled to Tel Aviv in 2021 with a delegation from New Jersey to renew the memorandum establishing the partnership and to show a commitment to global academic exchanges and to international engagement. Rutgers has relationships like this with universities all over the world, and they help move our mission forward." The vote comes amid increased tensions on college campuses across the U.S. amid the Israel-Palestinian conflict. Hen Mazzig, the co-founder of The Tel Aviv Institute, told Fox News Digital that "it’s appalling that Rutgers students would support an antisemitic academic boycott of Rutgers’ partnership with Tel Aviv University." "Academic freedom is an integral part of the university experience and with this vote students have signaled that they could care less about academic freedom. The university must strongly condemn this anti-Semitic vote and make clear that Rutgers will maintain its partnership with Tel Aviv University." The vote comes after protests erupted at a town hall at Rutgers University earlier this month. A group of "out of control" pro-Palestinian protesters shouted anti-Israel slogans like "one solution, intifada revolution" and forced officials to end the meeting early as they and Jewish students were ushered out by police, a student previously told Fox News Digital. The student, who wished to remain anonymous for fear of retribution, said Rutgers President Jonathan Holloway and administrators "ran away," "leaving behind the Jewish/pro-Israel students to deal with an unruly and obviously antisemitic crowd, whose attention turned to the Jews after the administration left." Students at colleges across the U.S. have efforted anti-Israel Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) initiatives.

Andrea Ye, 18, of Rockville, who goes by Alex, allegedly wrote a 129-page manifesto detailing the strategy to commit a mass shooting at Thomas Wootton High School in Montgomery County. Ye was arrested on Wednesday. Investigators uncovered the alleged plot through a review of Ye's writing and internet searches, authorities said. In the manifesto, Ye allegedly wrote about targeting an elementary school and expressed a desire "to be famous." "Ye also wrote that he wanted to become a serial killer instead of a mass murderer because serial killers are romanticized a lot more," Montgomery County Police Chief Marcus Jones told reporters during a Friday news conference. ARREST MADE IN 2017 MURDER OF DC POLICE OFFICER In the manifesto, Ye said he wanted to target his former elementary school because "little kids make easier targets," authorities said. He spent time on Discord chats with others who glorified school shootings, authorities said. "He clearly had mental health issues, and I think it would be worth our while to figure out when could we have known, or when should we have possibly intervened," Montgomery County Executive Marc Elrich said. "We may have intervened at the right time, but at a very late time in the process. Hopefully this will lead us to look deeper into what we do for mental health support." Ye, a former student at Wootton High School, allegedly also targeted an elementary school for a potential shooting. Ye was hospitalized in December 2022 after threatening to "shoot up a school," and the following month clinicians reported that the teen was talking about "suicide by cop." Authorities first learned of Ye when the manifesto was shared by someone who knew Ye at a psychiatric facility with Baltimore County police in March. The tipster is referred to as "Witness-One" in charging documents. Ye claimed the manifesto was a fictional account of a school shooting. The tipster told investigators that they noticed similarities between the story's transgender main character and Ye, the documents state. His internet search history revealed search terms like "gun ranges near me" and searches about school shootings, including the massacres at Sandy Hook, Connecticut and Parkland, Florida. During a search of the family home, a gun belonging to Ye's father was found but Ye didn't appear to have access to the weapon, Jones said. "This could well be a case where the difficulty to get guns prevented him from getting a gun when he wanted it, and possibly prevented him from acting as soon as he would have preferred to act," Elrich said, referring to Maryland's strict gun laws. Ye was formally enrolled at Wootton High School but had not physically attended a Montgomery County Public Schools institution since the fall of 2022, Fox DC reported. He has been taking lessons through the virtual program Online Pathways to Graduation. Ye has been charged with making threats of mass violence and is currently being held at the Montgomery County Central Processing Unit and was awaiting a bond hearing. Authorities said security has been increased at schools across Montgomery County, particularly Wootton High School. The Associated Press contributed to this report. |
18-year-old turns self in to NH police on hate-motivated graffiti chargesOn April 19, 2024Loren Faulkner, 18, of Portsmouth, New Hampshire,… Read more An 18-year-old from Portsmouth, accused of creating hate-motivated graffiti, has turned himself into police on criminal charges, authorities said Friday. SWISS PARLIAMENT APPROVES NAZI SYMBOL DISPLAY BAN Loren Faulkner was arrested on Thursday on 31 counts of criminal mischief and hate-motivated criminal mischief for the graffiti spree targeting religious buildings and other communities in February 2023, police said. He was released on bail and will be arraigned in June. It was not immediately known if he is being represented by an attorney. There was no phone number listed in his name. Last year, Attorney General John Formella filed a civil complaint against Faulkner, then 17, alleging that the teen targeted businesses, homes, houses of worship and other locations that supported the LGBTQ+ community, religious practices inconsistent with his beliefs or for people of different races. In March, it was announced that he would pay a fine and complete 200 hours of community service to resolve allegations of violating New Hampshire’s Civil Rights Act 21 times, including carrying out an antisemitic, homophobic and racist vandalism spree that damaged a number of properties throughout the city. The vandalism included destruction of rainbow LGBTQ+ pride flags, spray-painting swastikas and crosses on Temple Israel and Jewish Stars of David on St. John’s Episcopal Church, defacing a Black Heritage Trail sign at the church, and damaging or destroying signs and murals that expressed support for diversity and Black Lives Matter. | Police called to ND forensic examiner's office on day she was fired over homicidal, suicidal remarksOn April 19, 2024Police were reportedly called to the office of the… Read more North Dakota's state forensic examiner was fired earlier this month in an episode during which police were called to her office. Officers from the North Dakota Highway Patrol and Bismarck police responded to Dr. Barrie Miller's office in Bismarck on April 10, according to two police reports. An employee told police Miller was about to be fired and was "interrogating her" about it, and that she was inside with her son and "making homicidal comments," according to the reports. GUNSHOT REPORT TRIGGERS LOCKDOWN AT GRAND FORKS AIR FORCE BASE A state human resources representative told police that Miller made past comments about committing murder/suicide and running over employees, which "have ultimately led up to Miller being terminated," set for the next day, according to a police report. She wanted a welfare check on Miller and her son. The police said Miller "seemed very calm" but confused about the situation, and told police she was fine, according to their reports. The human resources representative and a state health official then fired Miller, who "seemed to handle it well" but still seemed confused, according to police. She and her son left the office without further incident, police said. A state trooper’s report said: "No one claimed any threat or actual violence on this day or in the past was made by Dr. Miller toward staff at the ME’s office. All staff present were concerned about Dr. Miller’s mental health and safety." Patrol Lt. Daniel Haugen told The Bismarck Tribune that Miller was not arrested and the case was not sent to the Burleigh County state's attorney for review. Miller did not respond to phone messages left with numbers believed to be hers. Former state forensic examiner Dr. William Massello will handle interim duties while a search process unfolds for a replacement. |
Boxers pulled from throwing first pitch at Mets game after earlier altercation at Empire State BuildingOn April 19, 2024The New York Mets apparently pulled the plug on bo… Read more The lead-up to the Devin Haney-Ryan Garcia fight at Brooklyn's Barclays Center has led to numerous promotional events throughout New York this week, but two have already gone awry. Haney and Garcia were originally slated to fight for the WBC junior welterweight title Saturday night, but Garcia weighed in three pounds over the maximum 140-pound limit. The fight is still on, but a belt will not be up for grabs. Nonetheless, the two had a promo event at the Empire State Building Tuesday, and they had to be separated in front of numerous cameras. CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM The incident was apparently enough for the New York Mets to cancel plans to have the duo throw out the first pitch later that night. According to Garcia's camp, via the New York Post, Mets security was concerned about the ruckus earlier in the day. So, the Mets nixed the plans out of fear of another altercation. Garcia apparently had thrown warmup pitches and met members of the Mets with "everything running smoothly." The Post reported that "Garcia’s camp said that only Garcia, Haney and Garcia’s promoter, Oscar De La Hoya, would be allowed on the field to avoid another fracas and that both boxers were instructed to be on their ‘best behavior’ while on the field. "Garcia’s camp further claimed that Haney was incensed when told the first pitch was not happening and left the stadium, but Garcia was still willing to throw the first pitch himself." The Mets apparently said that De La Hoya would be allowed to throw the pitch, but he declined, and Garcia left shortly after. "The Mets just wasted three hours of our lives to say at the end we can’t throw the pitch for whatever reason. … There was no reason. They kicked us out for no reason," Garcia said in a video on X. "F--- the Mets. Don't ever go to a f---ing Mets game again." The Mets have not responded to a request for comment.
