OMAHA, Neb. — The man convicted of hitting and killing an Iowa woman in an Omaha crash will serve years behind bars. Eswin Mejia received 20 to 22 years in prison for motor vehicle homicide and flight to avoid arrest. Mejia caused the crash that killed Sarah Root near 33rd and L streets in 2016. In December, he pleaded guilty to a charge of failure to appear and no contest to motor vehicle homicide. Authorities said Mejia was driving drunk and street racing when he rear-ended Root's car at a stoplight.

A San Fernando Valley community is outraged and devastated after federal immigration agents forced their way onto the grounds of a church during a food giveaway and arrested a man who church officials say helps with children’s ministries. Church officials stated that “a beloved community member” by the name of Carlos Chavez was arrested. The raid interrupted the church’s food distribution ministry and an event for mothers and children in the church garden. Speaking to KTLA 5’s Kimberly Cheng, Pastor Aguilon said he was in contact with Chavez’s wife, who said Carlos, the sole provider for their family, has already...

Our town on the San Francisco Peninsula has had a string of auto burglaries in recent months. The Police Department sent a message to our neighborhood group saying: "We encourage everyone to lock their vehicles and to take out all personal belongings, electronics and valuables. The thieves have electronic devices that detect devices with Bluetooth, so they can use the device outside a vehicle and they will know if there is a device inside with Bluetooth (i.e. laptop, iPad, AirPods, etc) and they will then break into the trunk, even if nothing is visible in the interior of the car....

For centuries, one of the most important cities of the ancient world lay hidden beneath dust, war zones, and shifting rivers. Alexandria on the Tigris—once a thriving center of long-distance trade connecting Mesopotamia with India and beyond—vanished from historical memory after late antiquity. Now, an international research team led by Professor Stefan Hauser of the University of Konstanz has successfully rediscovered and reinterpreted this lost metropolis, revealing its crucial role in ancient global commerce.A City Founded by Alexander the Great In the 4th century BCE, Alexander the Great conquered the Achaemenid Persian Empire, reshaping the political and economic landscape of...

On January 18, 2026, former CNN anchor Don Lemon entered Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota, alongside anti-ICE protesters who deliberately disrupted an ongoing worship service. The group chanted “ICE out” and “Justice for Renee Good,” accusing one of the pastors of ties to immigration enforcement and thereby interrupting the congregation's First Amendment-protected religious exercise. Lemon livestreamed the event, positioning himself within the disruption as it unfolded. Federal authorities subsequently arrested Lemon and three others, charging them with conspiracy against rights under 18 U.S.C. § 241 and interference with the free exercise of religion. Lemon maintains that his presence was...

The recent closure of a California oil refinery — and plans to shutter another in the near future — have some experts warning of potential fuel shortages and price spikes in Nevada and other Western states that depend on the Golden State. California supplies roughly 88% of Nevada’s fuel, including diesel and jet fuel. But Phillips 66 closed a refinery in the Los Angeles area in October, and earlier this year, Valero submitted a notice that it plans to close a Bay Area refinery by April 2026. Combined, the two refineries produce 284,000 barrels of oil per day, about 17%...

With some sympathy, I have been contemplating the sorry lot of anti-ICE activists in a non-sanctuary state with a government rated as the least corrupt in the nation. Braving near Minnesota temperatures, a half dozen Mesozoic creatures stood out in the latte town of Exeter Sunday morning, holding “ICE = GESTAPO” and “TRUMP = HITLER” signs. Upon the recommendation of a friend in law enforcement, I did not go join them, without identification and carrying a loaded 9 millimeter with extra magazines. In Minnesota, youthful members of Antifa and Democratic Socialists of America man the barricades, but here in New...

If you watch the coverage from around the nation there are not a lot of people in the streets. A few of the usual hot spots got rowdy, but even there the crowds were not large. In AZ, for instance, there were 3,000 in Tucson, a very Liberal city. There were less than that in Phoenix, more than 3 times the size of Tucson. https://www.azcentral.com/story/news/politics/immigration/2026/01/30/in-tucson-protesters-say-immigration-crackdown-is-personal/88435267007/ "An estimated 3,000 people protested in Tucson against the Trump administration's immigration policies."

Convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein connected New York Giants co-owner Steve Tisch with numerous women, according to scores of emails among the more than three million documents released by the Justice Department on Friday. Tisch's name pops up at least 440 times among the documents released so far. The emails, first reported by The Athletic, range from the mundane -- "Jeffery says Steve Tisch might come over around 7-7:30 tonight. Snacks for everyone!" -- to the profane. In one email, Epstein asks: "did you contact the great ass fake tit [name redacted]." Tisch, 76, is chairman, co-owner and vice president...

The US Embassy in Copenhagen has angered Danish veterans by removing flags honoring soldiers killed in Afghanistan from an area outside the building. Video shared by Danish media outlet TV2 showed a security guard removing the flags honoring the 44 Danish soldiers who died in the conflict from planters located outside the embassy on Tuesday. The Danish Veteran Association slammed the move as “unnecessary and insensitive” in a statement on social media Wednesday.
