SUMMARY: Two-year-old Liam Keane was rescued from a burning apartment in Granbury after his mother, Felicia, detected flames shortly after 1 a.m. She attempted to save him but was unable to due to thick smoke. Fire crews arrived and successfully used a ladder to rescue Liam from the second floor. Felicia expressed deep gratitude for their efforts, stating they don’t receive enough recognition. Liam was airlifted to Cook Children’s Hospital, where tests showed he has some carbon monoxide poisoning but is otherwise okay. The family lost nearly everything in the fire, which also displaced 15 others; the cause is under investigation.

A 2-year-old is recovering at the hospital this morning after he was trapped in a burning apartment Sunday morning.

SUMMARY: Texas Governor Greg Abbott issued an executive order to combat harassment and coercion by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) against Chinese dissidents in Texas. The order directs the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) to arrest individuals involved in CCP influence operations, including “Operation Fox Hunt,” which aims to forcibly return dissidents to China. Abbott emphasized that Texas will not tolerate such actions against its 250,000 residents of Chinese descent. The order comes as the legislature prepares to discuss national security issues and follows recent FBI charges against CCP-linked individuals. DPS will also establish reporting channels for suspicious activities related to foreign coercion.

SUMMARY: Sentencing for former doctor Raldo Ortiz is set to occur today at the Cabell Federal Building, following previous delays. Ortiz faces a maximum of 190 years in prison for injecting dangerous drugs into IV bags, leading to 11 patients suffering cardiac emergencies in 2022.

Among the victims, Dr. Melanie Casbar died after taking a tainted IV bag home, and 18-year-old Jack Alstein nearly died on the operating table. Ortiz was convicted in April on multiple charges of tampering with a consumer product causing severe injury.
