MS mom whose son was shot by police gets CPS summons
SUMMARY: A 12-year-old boy, Aderrien Murry, is recovering from being shot by a police officer during a domestic dispute at his family’s home in Indianola, Mississippi. His mother, Nakala Murry, is fighting to keep custody of him and his sister following a disturbing court summons from Child Protective Services claiming neglect. The family has filed a $5 million civil lawsuit against the city, the Indianola Police Department, and Officer Greg Capers. Their lawyer, Carlos Moore, believes the city’s attempt to take custody of the children is intimidation and harassment. A court date is set for April 17 to determine custody.

SUMMARY: President-elect Donald Trump announced that he will issue an executive order on Monday to extend the deadline for TikTok’s China-based parent company, ByteDance, to find an approved U.S. buyer. This decision follows the removal of TikTok from app stores due to a federal law requiring ByteDance to sell its U.S. operations or face a ban, citing national security concerns. Trump’s order would delay the law’s restrictions, offering ByteDance more time to negotiate a sale. Despite challenges, including TikTok’s legal disputes, Trump emphasized the app’s potential value and the importance of keeping it operational in the U.S.
