SUMMARY: As Hurricane Milton approaches Florida, the Red Cross is preparing to assist those affected by the storm. Currently, around 80 volunteers from the St. Louis region are deployed in Tennessee, North Carolina, Georgia, and Florida to establish shelters and provide food and water. With evacuation requests from local officials and the governor, the Red Cross anticipates an increase in demand for emergency shelters. Concerns over volunteer safety amid the hurricane’s approach are paramount, and there are calls for additional volunteers to help in the devastated areas as residents evacuate.

SUMMARY: An investigation by Fox 2 reveals that non-U.S. citizen migrant workers are being urged to vote in the upcoming presidential election. Union mailers were sent to these workers, advocating for pro-worker candidates. The landscaping company employing these individuals noted that while workers had legal H-2B visas and union representation, they were puzzled about the union’s actions, as non-U.S. citizens cannot legally vote. Missouri Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft expressed concerns over non-citizens voting and highlighted new state laws requiring proof of citizenship for voter registration. Studies show minimal instances of non-citizen voting, with zero tolerance for such acts.

Union mailers have been sent to non-U.S. citizen migrant workers, saying, “Stop the Steal by stopping Trump’s allies. Vote for Harris-Walz and pro-worker candidates.”
