Over 2,000 arrests made since launch of ‘Operation Unified’ in Jackson
SUMMARY: A collaborative effort among local, state, and federal law enforcement in Jackson, Mississippi, called “Operation Unified,” has led to over 2,000 arrests and the seizure of significant amounts of illegal drugs and firearms. Initiated in January and publicly announced in February, the operation aims to combat drug trafficking and violent crime in the area. To date, more than 400 firearms, including illegal “switches,” and approximately 200 pounds of drugs have been confiscated, along with over $360,000 in cash. Officials emphasize that this initiative represents a long-term commitment to addressing the city’s crime issues.

SUMMARY: As the government shutdown deadline approached, the Senate passed a bipartisan bill early Saturday to temporarily fund federal operations and disaster aid, excluding President-elect Donald Trump’s debt ceiling demands. The House overwhelmingly approved the bill, which funds the government through March 14 and includes disaster assistance. Trump had insisted on a debt ceiling increase, threatening a shutdown, but GOP leadership opted for a compromise with Democrats. The outcome raises questions about House Speaker Mike Johnson’s future amidst GOP dissent. President Joe Biden is expected to sign the bill, averting a shutdown that could affect millions, especially during the holiday season.
