Filippino street fair

Vancouver police ruled out terrorism in a car ramming attack that killed 11 people at a Filipino heritage festival in the Canadian city, saying the suspect has a history of mental health issues.

Dozens of others were injured, some seriously, as the ramming shook the country before a federal election.

A man driving a black Audi SUV entered the street just after 8 p.m. Saturday and struck people attending the Lapu Lapu Day festival. A Vancouver man was arrested.

“It is the darkest day in Vancouver’s history,” Vancouver Police Interim Chief Steve Rai told a news conference.

“The person we have in custody does have a significant history of interactions with police and health care professionals related to mental health,” he said.

Amid Trump absence, WH Correspondents’ dinner delivers defiant message: We’re not the ‘enemy of the people’

WH correspondentsJournalists at the White House Correspondents’ Association (WHCA) dinner offered an impassioned defense of their work at the annual event — which broke with tradition and featured neither the president nor a comedian — saying defiantly, “We are not the enemy of the state.”

“Our responsibility is not to align with any one party or any one of gender, but to serve the people of this country with integrity and dedication,” WHCA President Eugene Daniels said Saturday at the Washington Hilton hotel as members of the press, lawmakers and a smattering of Hollywood stars came together for the 111th annual dinner.

“We care deeply about accuracy and take seriously the heavy responsibility of being stewards of the public’s trust. What we are not is the opposition,” Daniels said to applause, before appearing to push back on remarks made in the past by President Trump.

“What we are not is the enemy of the people,” Daniels said, without naming the president.

Trump has repeatedly called the “fake news media” the “enemy of the people.”

US judge in Texas orders release of Venezuelan couple, temporarily blocks deportations

brionesA federal judge in Texas ruled against deporting Venezuelan immigrants, finding it inappropriate for President Donald Trump to invoke the 1798 wartime law, the Alien Enemies Act.

U.S. District Judge David Briones, of El Paso, made the ruling on April 25, and ordered the release of Julio Cesar Sanchez Puentes and Luddis Norelia Sanchez Garcia from a federal detention facility in El Paso, a couple accused of being members of the Venezuelan gang, Tren de Aragua, according to the court opinion obtained by USA TODAY.

Briones' decision found that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials failed to prove "any lawful basis" indicating why the couple should be detained any longer for an alleged alien enemy violation, according to the judge's opinion.

'We're coming for you': Almost 800 arrested in immigration crackdown in Florida

sweep in FloridaAlmost 800 people have been arrested in the first few days of Operation Tidal Wave, a multi-agency immigration enforcement crackdown in Florida, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement authorities announced.

ICE called the effort a "first-of-its-kind partnership" involving state and federal agencies and local law enforcement. The agency, in a statement Saturday, lauded local police agencies for providing "extraordinary support" for the crackdown that began April 21.

"This is a warning to all criminal illegal aliens: We’re coming for you," Homeland Security Secretary Krisiti Noem wrote in a social media post. "@DHSgov, @ICEgov, and our state partners will hunt you down, arrest and deport you. That’s a promise."

Israel's muted response to Pope Francis's death signals tensions over Gaza

Pope FrancisThe office of the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has offered its condolences for Pope Francis, four days after his death.

An earlier offer of condolences posted on social media by the official state account of Israel had previously been deleted, causing considerable controversy within the country.

Israel is also sending a relatively low-level delegation to the late pontiff's funeral on Saturday, with only the country's Vatican ambassador in attendance.

All of this has been seen in Israel and elsewhere as a sign of the Israeli government's displeasure with Pope Francis's impassioned remarks on the war in Gaza.

Belatedly and somewhat impersonally, the Israeli prime minister's office issued a two sentence offer of condolences on Thursday night.

Justice Department revokes Biden-era protections for reporters in leak investigations

protections for jounalists removed

The Justice Department on Friday rescinded a Biden-era policy that provided protections to journalists in leak investigations, paving the way for authorities to once again use subpoenas and compel testimony from reporters in probes targeting leakers.

"Federal government employees intentionally leaking sensitive information to the media undermines the ability of the Department of Justice to uphold the rule of law, protect civil rights, and keep America safe. This conduct is illegal and wrong, and it must stop," Attorney General Pam Bondi said in an internal memo issued on Friday and obtained by NPR.

She said the DOJ's policy allows for subpoenas, court orders and search warrants to get information and testimony from journalists. Such actions must be approved by DOJ leadership and journalists must get advance notice of them. The actions also must be as narrow as possible to avoid interfering with news gathering or "potentially protected materials," the memo states.

Facing shortages, cities tap sewers to bolster drinking water supply

water supply shrinking

On a hot day, there’s nothing quite like a refreshing drink of water. But how would you feel if that water was sourced from the sewer?

As cities across the West brace for a drier future, they’re investing in advanced water purification technology. It flushes out the contaminants in wastewater so that the murky stuff that goes down your toilet can eventually come out ready to drink at your sink.

“There’s a lot of uncertainty here in terms of water resources, so we think that this is that next bucket of water that we need to tap into,” said Nazario Prieto, assistant director of Phoenix Water Services.

The city of 1.6 million people is building its first advanced water purification plant that could eventually process up to 15 million gallons of wastewater a day.

The first Black leader of the U.S. Department of Labor, former Secretary Alexis Herman, has died at the age of 77.

Former President Bill Clinton nominated Herman to the role, which she held from 1997 to 2001, following a career in social work, civil rights and Democratic politics.

"Hillary and I are deeply saddened by the loss of Alexis Herman, our friend of nearly fifty years," former President Clinton said in a statement. "Our hearts and prayers are with her family and all who loved and admired her."

Current Secretary of Labor Lori Chavez-DeRemer said in a statement that Herman "was a trailblazer who dedicated her life to strengthening America's workforce and creating better lives for hardworking families."
