Interview: U.S. attorney talks about Human Trafficking Awareness Month
SUMMARY: January is National Human Trafficking Prevention Month, and the US Attorney of the Northern District of Mississippi, Clay Joiner, discusses the prevalence of human trafficking in the region. He highlights the case of Ray Morris Asencio, a trafficker caught due to the vigilance of a woman in Oxford, Mississippi. Joiner urges the public to be aware of and report any suspicious interactions they witness, as this is crucial in identifying and prosecuting human trafficking cases. He also mentions an increase in open investigations, emphasizing the importance of public involvement in combating this crime. Joiner’s message is clear: human trafficking is an issue in North Mississippi, and everyone must be vigilant and proactive in reporting suspicious activity to authorities.

SUMMARY: Saint Andrew’s Episcopal School is quiet as an influenza outbreak leads to the closure of all grades on Friday. The decision was made to help students recover and minimize community spread. Following advice from school nurses, high schoolers were sent home Thursday, with elementary students following Friday, halting classes until Monday. The Mississippi Department of Health reports that flu cases in the metro area have doubled recently, likely due to post-holiday school attendance. Health officials advise getting flu shots and keeping sick children at home to protect health as case numbers are expected to decrease with warmer weather in March.

Republican bill would block illegal immigrants from receiving tax breaks | National
SUMMARY: The Safeguarding American Workers’ Benefits Act, reintroduced by Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith, aims to prevent illegal immigrants in the U.S. from receiving Child Tax Credits (CTC) and Earned Income Tax Credits (EITC). The legislation mandates that parents and children need valid Social Security numbers for employment to qualify for these tax benefits. Rep. Clay Higgins has introduced a similar bill in the House. The U.S. Joint Committee on Taxation estimates the bill could save nearly $28 billion over ten years. This initiative aligns with Republican efforts to cut federal spending while addressing immigration policies under President Trump.
