SUMMARY: Texas Department of Public Safety Lt. Chris Olivarez has raised concerns about the rising apprehension of “Special Interest Aliens” (SIAs) attempting to illegally enter the U.S. from Mexico, highlighting increasing interceptions of individuals with potential ties to terrorism. In a recent incident, Texas troopers detained a group of Turkish nationals who paid around $12,000 each to enter via a network sourced through social media. In the last 48 hours alone, DPS encountered eight SIAs from five countries. Experts, including retired Border Patrol Chief Aaron Heitke, noted a significant uptick in SIAs under the Biden administration, raising national security concerns.

SUMMARY: Becky Lewis and Daryl Jacob, displaced for nearly five months due to severe weather in Newy, are struggling after their home was damaged by floods and storms. Their RV, completely submerged, led to issues like black mold, forcing them to sleep in their truck and stay in various shelters and motels. Although they were approved for FEMA assistance, the funds have not been received, and their claims are pending due to excessive documentation requests. Jacob, who requires oxygen, is especially worried as they approach eviction from their current motel, with little hope for timely help from FEMA.

SUMMARY: Fort Worth police officer William Martin, who has a notable disciplinary history, was arrested for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. The incident occurred after a traffic dispute earlier this month when Martin, off duty, claimed he was the victim of a hit-and-run and subsequently pursued the other driver. He allegedly shot at the man, while the driver’s attorney stated his client was unarmed. Martin was on restricted duty until his arrest. Previously, he faced a 10-day suspension for using excessive force during a 2016 arrest involving Jacqueline Craig and her daughter, leading to a lawsuit settlement of $150,000.
