Mississippi congressional members unhappy with Biden’s border plan
SUMMARY: President Joe Biden’s new southern border plan, announced Tuesday, bars asylum for migrants when U.S. ports are deemed “overwhelmed.” This move, met with discontent by Mississippi’s federal officials, including Democrat Rep. Bennie Thompson, arises from Republicans blocking bipartisan legislation. While Thompson criticized the order’s potential impact on vulnerable asylum seekers, he acknowledged the need for immigration reform. Mississippi’s GOP members, including Senators Cindy Hyde-Smith and Roger Wicker, criticized Biden for delaying the action. The plan, setting new stringent asylum criteria, is expected to face lawsuits from advocacy groups as border numbers currently exceed Biden’s established cap.

SUMMARY: Myles Flint Johnson, a 53-year-old man from Canton, has been sentenced to 40 years in prison for the second-degree murder of his wife, Kristi Johnson. Following a three-day trial in Madison County, he received the maximum penalty without parole. On January 30, 2024, Johnson called 911 claiming his wife was shot, but police found her dead in their bed, shot in the back. He initially claimed it was a suicide but later stated it was accidental during a fight. The trial revealed a history of domestic violence, prompting the District Attorney to stress the case’s significance in addressing domestic abuse.

SUMMARY: Today, on World Diabetes Day, the Mississippi State Department of Health encourages residents to monitor their health numbers—cholesterol, blood pressure, blood sugar, and body mass index—to reduce the risk of diabetes and other chronic illnesses. Mississippi ranked second in the U.S. for diabetes prevalence in 2023, with one in six residents affected. The state offers free screenings to detect pre-diabetes and urges lifestyle changes to prevent diabetes.

SUMMARY: Police in Mississippi are investigating “jackpotting” incidents at ATMs following a break-in at a Community Bank in Tupelo. Officers discovered an ATM with signs of forced entry, and surveillance footage captured two Hispanic male suspects arriving in a silver Honda Accord. Similar incidents have also occurred in Amory, Madison, and Forest, suggesting the suspects may be linked to these cases. Jackpotting involves manipulating ATM software to dispense cash and is commonly associated with organized crime. Authorities are urging the public to report suspicious activity around ATMs. No arrests have been made yet.
