The 3-mile stretch of Southern Boulevard from Palm Beach International Airport to Mar-a-Lago presents ongoing security challenges for law enforcement, including multiple access points and a predictable travel route for President Donald Trump.

What security concerns does Trump face on route to Mar-a-Lago?

"The most concerning is that the president's movements are very predictable meaning that he uses Southern Boulevard," said Stuart Kaplan, a former FBI agent during an interview on Monday.

He said Southern Boulevard features several choke points with water on both sides, and private properties that the Secret Service cannot enter without warrants or consent.

When Trump's motorcade travels through the area, drivers experience road closures and security checkpoints that can significantly impact traffic flow.

"All the time is really busy, just like that," said Jose Delormo, who was filling up his gas tank before the motorcade arrived.

Could Southern Boulevard see permanent changes to increase Trump security?

Yoska Codina, visiting West Palm Beach from Miami, described the extensive security presence around Mar-a-Lago.

"It's security after security I couldn't even... I thought maybe I could've gotten in but yeah, no," Codina said.

Kaplan said that Secret Service monitors the area 24/7 for potential threats, including incidents like the suspicious package found near the airport over the weekend.

Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw said he has no plans to permanently shut down Southern Boulevard, similar to the permanent air traffic restrictions implemented around Mar-a-Lago.

Bradshaw said when the president lands, officials try to keep one lane open or reroute traffic as needed and that his team transports Trump from the airport to Mar-a-Lago in less than 12 minutes.

"It's the president of the United States of America, then take another route, if you have to take another route, then do it," Codina said.

A helipad is currently in the works at Mar-a-Lago, though it remains unclear whether it will be used to transport the president to and from the airport. Andrew Keiser, the general manager for the club, declined to comment on the construction timeline.

The Town of Palm Beach confirmed that the Landmarks Preservation Commission approved the helipad and issued a building permit on December 12, 2025.

Officials noted that permits expire and range from 12 to 40 months based on project size.

Democrat Abigail Spanberger was sworn into office Saturday as Virginias first female governor, amid a cold drizzle outside the state Capitol after centuries of men holding the states top office.

Spanberger defeated Republican Winsome Earle-Sears to succeed Gov. Glenn Youngkin, also a Republican. It marks a new chapter in Virginia as Democrats pull the levers of power in state government while Republican President Donald Trump sits in the White House in neighboring Washington.

The history and the gravity of this moment are not lost on me," Spanberger said in her address. "I maintain an abiding sense of gratitude to those who work, generation after generation, to ensure women could be among those casting ballots, but who could only dream of a day like today.

RELATED STORY | Virginia voters to make history electing state's first female governor

Spanberger quoted Patrick Henry, Virginias first governor, saying, Let us not split into factions, which must destroy that union upon which our existence hangs. That was the charge Governor Henry put to Virginia at the close of the 18th century, and it is the charge we must answer again today.

Two other Democrats were also sworn in. Ghazala F. Hashmi, the first Muslim woman to serve in statewide office in the U.S., is the new lieutenant governor. Jay Jones is Virginias first Black attorney general. He was sworn into his post, notably, in the former capital of the Confederacy.

Spanberger's inauguration as the states 75th governor is a historic first: only men have held the post since Virginia first became a commonwealth in 1776. And no woman served as a colonial governor before then.

She will be referred to with traditional formality: Madam Governor or, as some officials phrase it, her excellency.

According to A Guide to Virginia Protocol and Traditions, males in the official party wear morning coats and women wear dark suits for the inauguration and many, including the new governors husband, kept to that tradition on Saturday.

But as the first woman to serve as governor, Spanberger wore all white on Saturday, a possible tribute to the womens suffrage movement. She wore a gold pin on her long, white coat.

Spanberger ran on a vow to protect Virginias economy from the aggressive tactics of Trumps administration. On the trail, she spoke of the White Houses gutting the civil service, rising costs of goods and changes impacting the states already fragile health care system.

The state Democrats picked up 13 seats in the House of Delegates a year after the partys stunning losses nationwide in the 2024 presidential election.

Democrats in the statehouse have vowed to work with Spanberger to push through their bullish agenda, which includes redrawing the states congressional district map ahead of the midterm elections this year.

Law enforcement officials say Kianna Underwood, a former Nickelodeon child star, was killed Friday in a hit-and-run in New York. She was 33.

According to the New York Police Department, Underwood was crossing an intersection in the Brownsville neighborhood of Brooklyn when a black Ford Explorer SUV hit her in the morning.

While lying in the street, she was then subsequently struck by a black and gray sedan, NYPD said in a statement. Underwood was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police say both drivers left the scene and have not been identified. The investigation remains ongoing.

Underwood starred in Nickelodeons popular children's sketch comedy show, All That, over seven episodes in 2005. Between 1999 and 2004, Underwood voiced the character Fuschia Glover in the Nick Jr. show, Little Bill."

She also spent a year on the first national tour of Hairspray as Little Inez.

All That was Underwoods last credited role. The program helped launch multiple careers over its decade-long run, ranging from Nick Cannon, Kenan Thompson and Amanda Bynes.

One day after he threatened to punish countries with tariffs if they do not support U.S. control of Greenland, President Donald Trump announced tariffs against eight European countries starting Feb. 1.

He has repeatedly said the United States needs Greenland for national security. Greenland is a self-governing territory that is part of the Kingdom of Denmark.

Trump said that starting Feb. 1, imports from Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the UK, the Netherlands and Finland will be levied a 10% tariff. Those tariffs would increase to 25% on June 1.

Tariffs are not actually paid by the country of origin, but by the company importing the items.

European and NATO leaders have joined Denmark in saying the United States cannot take control of the worlds largest island.

"The EU stands in full solidarity with Denmark and the people of Greenland," European Union President Ursula von der Leyen said. "Dialogue remains essential, and we are committed to building on the process begun already last week between the Kingdom of Denmark and the US. Tariffs would undermine transatlantic relations and risk a dangerous downward spiral. Europe will remain united, coordinated, and committed to upholding its sovereignty."

Trumps remarks came days after Germany and France were among the nations that sent a small number of troops to show support for Greenlands sovereignty. His announcement also comes a day after a bipartisan congressional delegation visited Denmark to express support for Greenland determining its own future.

"We have subsidized Denmark, and all of the Countries of the European Union, and others, for many years by not charging them Tariffs, or any other forms of remuneration," Trump wrote on Truth Social on Saturday. "Now, after Centuries, it is time for Denmark to give back World Peace is at stake! China and Russia want Greenland, and there is not a thing that Denmark can do about it. They currently have two dogsleds as protection, one added recently. Only the United States of America, under PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP, can play in this game, and very successfully, at that!"

Tens of thousands of Cubans demonstrated Friday outside the U.S. Embassy in Havana to decry the killing of 32 Cuban officers in Venezuela and demand that the U.S. government release former Venezuelan President Nicols Maduro.

They crowded into the open-air Jos Mart Anti-Imperialist plaza across from the embassy in a rally organized by the Cuban government as tensions between Cuba and the U.S. spike following the U.S. attack Jan. 3 on Venezuela.

The 32 Cuban officers were part of Maduros security detail killed during the raid on his residence in Caracas to seize the former leader and bring him to the U.S. to face drug trafficking charges.

Humanity is experiencing something very complex, and (the U.S.) is governed by a president who considers himself an emperor, said Ren Gonzlez, 64, one of the protesters.

We must show him that ideas are worth more than weapons," he said. "This march is a message of our unity. Independence is sacred, and we will defend it tooth and nail if necessary.

Cubas national anthem rang out at Fridays demonstration as large Cuban flags waved in the chilly wind and big waves broke nearby along Havanas famed sea wall. Cuban President Miguel Daz-Canel shook hands with members of the crowd clad in jackets and scarves before speaking to them.

The current U.S. administration has opened the door to an era of barbarism, plunder and neo-fascism, he said.

The demonstration was a show of popular strength after U.S. President Donald Trump recently demanded that Cuba make a deal with him before it is too late. He did not explain what kind of deal.

Trump also has said that Cuba will no longer live off Venezuelas oil and money. Experts say the move could have catastrophic consequences since Cuba is already struggling with severe blackouts.

No one here surrenders," Daz-Canel said. The current emperor of the White House and his infamous secretary of state havent stopped threatening me.

Washington has maintained a policy of sanctions against Cuba since the 1960s to pressure the island's government to improve its human rights record, end its one-party communist system and allow democracy. The sanctions have been further tightened during Trumps presidency, suffocating the islands economy.

Cuba does not have to make any political concessions, and that will never be on the table for negotiations aimed at reaching an understanding between Cuba and the United States, Daz-Canel said. It is important that they understand this. We will always be open to dialogue and improving relations between our two countries, but only on equal terms and based on mutual respect.

After the president's speech, the demonstration transitioned into a parade that Cubans call a combatant march, a custom that originated during the time of the late leader Fidel Castro. The crowd was led by a line of people holding pictures of the 32 officers killed.

Down with imperialism! the crowd yelled. Cuba will prevail!"

The demonstration was organized a day after tens of thousands of Cubans gathered at the headquarters of the Ministry of the Revolutionary Armed Forces to pay their respects to the 32 officers slain.

Their remains arrived home on Thursday morning, and they are scheduled to be laid to rest on Friday afternoon in various cemeteries following memorial ceremonies in all of Cubas provincial capitals.

Buying a home has felt out of reach for many Americans in recent years, but experts say 2026 could bring some relief.

Mortgage rates have already started trending down from recent highs, and one analyst predicts they may continue falling, potentially bringing more buyers back into the market.

For some first-time buyers, the dream of home ownership is still just a goal.

I think part of the American dream, and part of what we strive for, is to say that we have something to call our own, Matt Nawrocki, a consumer in Scottsdale, Arizona, said.

Nawrocki feels buyers are still hesitant.

RELATED STORY | Despite mortgage rate relief, US home sales stuck at 30-year low in 2025

Even with the interest rates having dropped a little bit, there's some uncertainty in the economy right now. So folks aren't as eager or as willing to rush out to buy their first home, he said.

Ted Rossman, a senior financial analyst at Bankrate, says mortgage rates could keep moving lower throughout 2026.

Right now, the average 30-year fixed rate is 6.25%, Rossman said. A year ago, it was around 7%. A couple of years ago, it was around 8% we actually briefly hit 8% a little over two years ago. That was the first time in decades.

So we're moving in the right direction, Rossman added. I do believe that the average 30-year fixed will fall below 6% this year, probably sooner rather than later.

He says dropping below 6% could make a significant difference for monthly payments.

That could easily save the typical borrower $200 or $300 a month, compared to when rates were in the sevens, Rossman said.

Rossman also notes home prices may be leveling off in some markets compared to the steep increases seen in past years.

If you're looking to enter the market, at least, we're no longer seeing super high mortgage rates, and we're no longer seeing astronomical jumps in home values, he said.

RELATED STORY | Foreclosure activity rises nationwide, but experts say don't panic

President Donald Trump has floated multiple ideas aimed at housing affordability, including banning institutional investors from buying single-family homes and having the federal government buy mortgage bonds in an effort to push rates lower.

In the past, the President has also suggested extending the 30-year mortgage to 50 years to lower monthly payments.

Rossman says it is unclear how much those proposals could impact housing costs long-term.

The solution seems to be that we need more building and we need more inventory, Rossman said.

For buyers like Nawrocki, even falling rates wouldnt make the decision simple. He urges others to remain cautious and realistic.

Be patient. Don't feel that you have to jump on the very first thing you see, Nawrocki said. You need to make sure you're looking at it from the perspective of, can I truly afford the payments, and does it truly make sense.

Work starts around sunrise for many of the federal officers carrying out the immigration crackdown in and around the Twin Cities, with hundreds of people in tactical gear emerging from a bland office building near the main airport.

Within minutes, hulking SUVs, pickup trucks and minivans begin leaving, forming the unmarked convoys that have quickly become feared and common sights in the streets of Minneapolis, St. Paul and their suburbs.

Protesters also arrive early, braving the cold to stand across the street from the fenced-in federal compound, which houses an immigration court and government offices. Go home! they shout as convoys roar past. "ICE out!

Things often turn uglier after nightfall, when the convoys return and the protesters sometimes grow angrier, shaking fences and occasionally smacking passing cars. Eventually, the federal officers march toward them, firing tear gas and flash grenades before hauling away at least a few people.

Were not going anywhere! a woman shouted on a recent morning. Were here until you leave.

RELATED STORY | Judge rules feds in Minneapolis immigration operation cant detain or tear gas peaceful protesters

This is the daily rhythm of Operation Metro Surge, the Trump administration's latest and biggest crackdown yet, with more than 2,000 officers taking part. The surge has pitted city and state officials against the federal government, sparked daily clashes between activists and immigration officers in the deeply liberal cities, and left a mother of three dead.

The crackdown is barely noticeable in some areas, particularly in whiter, wealthier neighborhoods and suburbs, where convoys and tear gas are rare. And even in neighborhoods where masked immigration officers are common, they often move with ghostlike quickness, making arrests and disappearing before protesters can gather in force.

Still, the surge can be felt across broad swaths of the Twin Cities area, which is home to more than 3 million people.

We dont use the word invasion lightly, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, a Democrat, told reporters this week, noting that his police force has just 600 officers. What we are seeing is thousands plural, thousands of federal agents coming into our city.

Those agents have an outsized presence in a small city.

It can take hours to drive across Los Angeles and Chicago, both targets of Trump administration crackdowns. It can take 15 minutes to cross Minneapolis.

So as worry ripples through the region, children are skipping school or learning remotely, families are avoiding religious services and many businesses, especially in immigrant neighborhoods, have closed temporarily.

Drive down Lake Street, an immigrant hub since the days when newcomers came to Minneapolis from Norway and Sweden, and the sidewalks now seem crowded only with activists standing watch, ready to blow warning whistles at the first sign of a convoy.

At La Michoacana Purepecha, where customers can order ice cream, chocolate covered bananas and pork rinds, the door is locked and staff let in people one at a time. Nearby, at Taqueria Los Ocampo, a sign in English and Spanish says the restaurant is temporarily closed because of current conditions.

A dozen blocks away at the Karmel Mall, where the citys large Somali community goes for everything from food and coffee to tax preparation, signs on the doors warn, No ICE enter without court order.

The shadow of George Floyd

Its been nearly six years since George Floyd was murdered by a Minneapolis police officer, but the scars from that killing remain raw.

Floyd was killed just blocks from where an Immigration and Citizenship Enforcement officer shot and killed Renee Good, a 37-year-old American citizen, during a Jan. 7 confrontation after she stopped to help neighbors during an enforcement operation. Federal officials say the officer fired in self-defense after Good weaponized her vehicle. City and state officials dismiss those explanations and point to multiple bystander videos of the confrontation.

For Twin Cities residents, the crackdown can feel overwhelming.

Enough is enough, said Johan Baumeister, who came to the scene of Goods death soon after the shooting to lay flowers.

He said he didnt want to see the violent protests that shook Minneapolis after Floyds death, causing billions of dollars in damage. But this city has a long history of activism and protests, and he had no doubt there would be more.

I think theyll see Minneapolis show our rage again, he predicted.

He was right.

In the days since, there have been repeated confrontations between activists and immigration officers. Most amounted to little more than shouted insults and taunting, with destruction mostly limited to broken windows, graffiti and some badly damaged federal vehicles.

But angry clashes now flare regularly across the Twin Cities. Some protesters clearly want to provoke the federal officers, throwing snowballs at them or screaming obscenities through bullhorns from just a couple feet away. The serious force, though, comes from immigration officers, who have broken car windows, pepper-sprayed protesters and warned observers not to follow them through the streets. Immigrants and citizens have been yanked from cars and homes and detained, sometimes for days. And most clashes end in tear gas.

Drivers in Minneapolis or St. Paul can now stumble across intersections blocked by men in body armor and gas masks, with helicopters clattering overhead and the air filled with the shriek of protesters' whistles.

Shovel your neighbors walk

In a state that prides itself on its decency, theres something particularly Minnesotan about the protests,

Soon after Good was shot, Gov. Tim Walz, a Democrat and regular Trump target, repeatedly said he was angry but also urged people to find ways to help their communities.

It might be shoveling your neighbors walk, he said. It might mean being at a food bank. It might be pausing to talk to someone you havent talked to before.

He and other leaders have pleaded with protesters to remain peaceful, warning that the White House was looking for a chance to crack down harder.

And when protests do become clashes, residents will often spill from their homes, handing out bottled water so people can flush tear gas from their eyes.

Residents stand watch at schools to warn immigrant parents if convoys approach while they're picking up their children. They take care packages to people too afraid to go out, and arrange rides for them to work and doctor's visits.

On Thursday, in the basement of a Lutheran church in St. Paul, the group Open Market MN assembled food packs for more than a hundred families staying home. Colin Anderson, the groups outreach director, said the group has seen a surge in requests.

Sometimes, people dont even understand what has happened to them.

Like Christian Molina from suburban Coon Rapids, who was driving through a Minneapolis neighborhood on a recent day, taking his car to a mechanic, when immigration officers began following him. He wonders if it's because he looks Hispanic.

They turned on their siren, but Molina kept driving, unsure who they were.

Eventually, the officers sped up, hit his rear bumper and both cars stopped. Two emerged and asked Molina for his papers. He refused, saying hed wait for the police. Crowds began to gather, and a clash soon broke out, ending with tear gas.

So the officers left.

They left behind an angry, worried man who suddenly owned a sedan with a mangled rear fender.

Long after the officers were gone he had one final question.

Whos going to pay for my car?

Earlier this week, the federal government relaxed limits on whole milk and 2% milk in school menus. On Wednesday, President Donald Trump signed legislation ending bans on those varieties.

The measure passed the House and Senate with unanimous support before landing on Trumps desk.

Schools may still serve skim and 1% milk. U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins said whole milk is proven for brain growth, activity, energy and bone strength.

Farm councils say the change will provide farmers and consumers with more flexibility.

RELATED STORY | 'It's just so important:' Agriculture Secretary on the broad impacts of new school milk rules

Although the Trump administration has promoted whole milk, some health experts have raised concerns about replacing lower-fat options with whole milk.

Whats the difference between high-fat and low-fat milk?

The difference between whole, 2%, 1% and skim milk is the amount of fat in the product. Before milk is pasteurized, it contains at least 3.25% milk fat.

To reduce fat content, milk is spun at high speed in a centrifuge, which separates the fat from the rest of the liquid.

Removing fat generally does not change the amount of protein or vitamins in milk. A serving of whole milk contains 150 calories, eight grams of protein and 300 milligrams of calcium, along with about 10% of the daily value for vitamin D and 8% for potassium.

Skim milk has similar nutrition facts but only 80 calories. Whole milk contains eight grams of fat, compared with virtually no fat in skim milk.

The main concern for whole milk is it contains 4.5 grams of saturated fat, which scientists say can increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Whole milk also contains more calories, which can lead to obesity.

Nutritionally, all dairy milks provide similar amounts of protein, calcium, vitamin D and potassium, but the fat content and therefore calorie content is what mainly distinguishes them, said Sapna Batheja, a dietary behavior expert and associate professor at George Mason University.

Is whole milk healthier?

While the Trump administration has promoted whole milk alongside low-fat milk as a healthy choice, scientists caution that its saturated fat content could contribute to heart disease.

MORE HEALTH NEWS | New US dietary guidelines urge more protein, fewer ultraprocessed foods

The administration has sent mixed messages on whether Americans should increase saturated fat intake. Earlier this month, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said the government was ending its war on saturated fat by promoting meat-based proteins and fat sources such as butter and beef tallow in the Dietary Guidelines for Americans.

Kennedys Department of Health largely ignored a panel of experts who emphasized plant-based proteins such as beans and lentils. However, the new guidelines retained the recommendation to limit saturated fat to no more than 10% of daily calories.

Although high levels of saturated fat have been linked to heart disease, Batheja said research is mixed on whether whole milk is better or worse for overall health.

Whole milk is higher in unhealthy saturated fat, which may raise LDL cholesterol, the bad form of cholesterol. LDL cholesterol is a known risk factor for heart disease for some people, Batheja said. However, some studies suggest that dairy fat may not be as harmful as once thought, and whole milk could have no effect or even protective effects on digestive health and weight management in certain populations. Whole milk provides protein, calcium, phosphorus, and vitamins A and D, which are important for bone health and overall nutrition.

Emmy Award-winning actor Timothy Busfield's attorneys told a court Friday he should be released while he awaits the outcome of child sex abuse charges against him because an independent investigation undermined the state's allegations, the parents of his accusers have a history of fraud and dishonesty, and he passed a polygraph test.

Busfield was ordered held without bond at his first court appearance Wednesday, a day after he turned himself in to face charges stemming from allegations that he inappropriately touched a minor on the set of a TV series he was directing in New Mexico.

A judge will hold a detention hearing on Tuesday to determine whether Busfield will remain in jail.

Albuquerque police issued a warrant for his arrest last week on two counts of criminal sexual contact of a minor and one count of child abuse. A criminal complaint alleges the acts occurred on the set of the series The Cleaning Lady, which was filmed in the city.

In a video shared before turning himself in, Busfield called the allegations lies. Busfield, who is married to actor Melissa Gilbert, is known for appearances in The West Wing, Field of Dreams and Thirtysomething.

RELATED STORY | Director Timothy Busfield turns himself in to face child sex abuse charges in New Mexico

According to the criminal complaint, an investigator with the police department says the child reported Busfield touched him on private areas over his clothing on one occasion when he was 7 years old and another time when he was 8.

The boys twin brother told authorities he was also touched by Busfield, but did not specify where. He said he didnt say anything because he didnt want to get in trouble.

Busfield's attorneys said in court filings that the allegations against him emerged only after the boys lost their role in the TV show, creating a financial and retaliatory motive. The filings detailed what the attorneys said was a history of fraud by both the father and mother.

They cited an investigation by Warner Bros. into the allegations, which they said prosecutors didn't include in their criminal complaint, found the allegations unfounded. Independent witnesses supported the report's conclusions, the court filings said.

Busfield also submitted letters vouching for his character. His passing of the polygraph test aligns with the other information submitted, his attorneys said.

Legal experts say New Mexico is among a few states that allow polygraph evidence in criminal cases, but a judge has final say over whether one can be used. There are strict requirements for admission.

The Detroit Auto Show's charity preview event brought together luxury cars, high fashion, and community support for local youth programs in downtown Detroit.

Watch Brett Kast's video report: Detroit Auto Show Charity Preview showcases kids charities and the work they do

The marquee event officially kicked off the auto show with attendees showcasing their outfits while exploring the latest vehicle displays. For many, it's become an annual tradition that combines entertainment with charitable giving.

"I love to see all the cars. I want to get in them. I want to take a photo," said Katie Conrad, an attendee.

Victoria Borjas, who has attended the charity preview for a decade with her mother, Lori Singleton, said the fashion element is a major draw.

"I will say everyone here is dressed as a ten," Borjas said. "Every year I prepare for this, get my dress ready, what's my style this year?"

Singleton said the event has become a cherished family tradition.

"It's really one of our family traditions. We get together, my husband, her husband, my son when he's in town," Singleton said.

Beyond the glamour, organizers emphasize the event's charitable mission. Six children's charities benefit from the fundraiser, including the Boys and Girls Club of Greater Detroit and Detroit PAL.

"It's really not even about charity. It's about the investment that you're making in our youth," said Shawn Wilson, President and CEO of the Boys and Girls Club of Greater Detroit.

The Boys and Girls Club showcased their own fashion display at the event, featuring work from students in their fashion design program. Kylin Fordham and Yareli Guzman, both Cass Tech students, displayed garments they created through the program.

"I sewed everything from the jacket to the pants to the vest," Fordham said.

Guzman described how the program has expanded her skills beyond basic sewing.

"We leveled up our skills, and they taught us design software like Adobe, and they taught us how to do designs," Guzman said.

Fordham added that the program teaches both digital and hands-on skills.

"We learned to do designs on Adobe, and I also learned the basic sewing skills, which later challenged me to create a collection or design like this," Fordham said.

Wilson said the charity preview's fundraising makes these programs possible.

"This event raises significant dollars for Boys and Girls Club. It's unrestricted dollars which is really important for us because it allows us to pilot new programs. For example, the fashion industry club didn't exist five years ago. Now it's our number one program," Wilson said.

Fred Hunter, CEO of Detroit PAL, said the collective impact is substantial.

"For all the charities, it was $1.7 million (last year), which is significant," Hunter said. What's significant about this event is that the dollars that come in are unrestricted, so it allows us as an organization to find what is the most important need."

For longtime attendees like Singleton, the charitable aspect is what keeps them coming back.

"I usually always give to the Boys and Girls Club because that's something I participated in when I was younger, and I think it's just so important," Singleton said.

Fordham said the community support means everything to the young people in these programs.

"It just shows that people support the youth and they really want to pour into us, like they believe in us basically," Fordham said.

The auto show opens to the public at 10 a.m. with adult tickets priced at $25.

An 18-year-old woman was seriously injured and has a long road to recovery after being struck by a hit-and-run driver in Eastpointe while trying to catch a bus on Tuesday night.

Watch Christiana Ford's video report: 18-year-old fighting for life after Eastpointe hit-and-run, family seeks justice

Eastpointe police say De'Asia Pesti was crossing Eight Mile Road near Gratiot Avenue, not at a crosswalk. She was hit by a white pickup truck that never stopped around 9:15 p.m. while trying to catch a nearby bus.

Her parents, Geneva Newton and Darryl Pesti, say they and De'Asia's friends haven't left her side since she was rushed to the hospital.

"It's unreal. It's unreal that someone would really leave my baby like that," Newton said.

The impact left De'Asia with a broken leg, lacerations on her spleen, broken ribs, and requiring emergency open heart surgery because doctors thought she had a tear in her heart. Despite her severe injuries, Newton says she remembers everything about the crash.

"My baby almost lost her life," Newton said.

While the driver fled the scene, a good Samaritan, Jade Matthews, stopped to help.

"They hit her, and they kept on going. They didn't stop. They didn't slow down. They never stopped to check on her or anything. So my first thought was to pull behind her because I seen that the light was about to change again. I'm like, somebody's going to run her over again. So I went and parked right where her body was, and I threw my hazards on. I jumped out, I went over there, and I was talking to her," Matthews said.

De'Asia's parents called her a hero.

"I didn't look at it like a hero. I just looked at it like if I have an 18-year-old daughter and she looked young, that I would want somebody to do the same for my daughter," Matthews said.

De'Asia's father expressed frustration with the driver's decision to leave the scene.

"My whole thing is you didn't get out and check. The roads wasn't slippery. There was nothing stopping you from just checking," Pesti said.

As De'Asia faces a long road to recovery, her parents are seeking justice and answers.

"We gone find you if you don't turn yourself in," Pesti said.

Eastpointe police are investigating the hit-and-run and say the suspect vehicle is a white pickup truck. If anyone has any information on the suspect or the vehicle they were driving, you're urged to call Det. Burkall at 586-445-9120

The family is asking anyone with information to come forward.

"It could be anonymous. Just help me find out who did this to my baby," Newton said.

The family is raising money to help with medical bills through a GoFundMe campaign.

Friday, De'Asia returned to the ICU due to fluid around her chest.

Federal officers in the Minneapolis-area participating in its largest recent U.S. immigration enforcement operation cant detain or tear gas peaceful protesters who aren't obstructing authorities, including when these people are observing the agents, a judge in Minnesota ruled Friday.

U.S. District Judge Kate Menendez's ruling addresses a case filed in December on behalf of six Minnesota activists. The six are among the thousands who have been observing the activities of Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Border Patrol officers enforcing the Trump administrations immigration crackdown in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area since last month.

Federal agents and demonstrators have repeatedly clashed since the crackdown began. The confrontations escalated after an immigration agent fatally shot Renee Good in the head on Jan. 7 as she drove away from a scene in Minneapolis, an incident that was captured on video from several angles. Agents have arrested or briefly detained many people in the Twin Cities.

RELATED NEWS | Anti-ICE protests in Minneapolis set to continue into the weekend as arrests mount

The activists in the case are represented by the American Civil Liberties Union of Minnesota, which says government officers are violating the constitutional rights of Twin Cities residents.

Government attorneys argued that the officers have been acting within their legal authority to enforce immigration laws and protect themselves. They said Homeland Security officers have been subject to violence across the country and in Minnesota, and that they have responded lawfully and appropriately.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the ACLU didn't immediately respond to requests for comment Friday night.

The ruling prohibits the officers from detaining drivers and passengers in vehicles when there is no reasonable suspicion they are obstructing or interfering with the officers.

Safely following agents at an appropriate distance does not, by itself, create reasonable suspicion to justify a vehicle stop, the ruling said.

Menendez said the agents would not be allowed to arrest people without probable cause or reasonable suspicion the person has committed a crime or was obstructing or interfering with the activities of officers.

Menendez is also presiding over a lawsuit filed Monday by the state of Minnesota and the cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul seeking to suspend the enforcement crackdown, and some of the legal issues are similar. She declined at a hearing Wednesday to grant the states request for an immediate temporary restraining order in that case.

What we need most of all right now is a pause. The temperature needs to be lowered, state Assistant Attorney General Brian Carter told her.

Menendez said the issues raised by the state and cities in that case are enormously important. But she said it raises high-level constitutional and other legal issues, and for some of those issues there are few on-point precedents. So she ordered both sides to file more briefs next week.

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT | Trump threatens to invoke Insurrection Act amid Minnesota ICE tensions

The Justice Department is investigating whether Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey have impeded federal immigration enforcement through public statements they have made, two people familiar with the matter said Friday.

The investigation, which both Walz and Frey said was a bullying tactic meant to threaten political opposition, focused on potential violation of a conspiracy statute, the people said.

The people spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss a pending investigation by name.

CBS News first reported the investigation.

The investigation comes during a weekslong immigration crackdown in Minneapolis and St. Paul that the Department of Homeland Security has called its largest recent immigration enforcement operation, resulting in more than 2,500 arrests.

The operation has become more confrontational since the fatal shooting of Renee Good on Jan. 7, with agents pulling people from cars and homes and frequently being confronted by angry bystanders demanding they leave. State and local officials have repeatedly told protesters to remain peaceful.

In response to reports of the investigation, Walz said in a statement: Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system and threatening political opponents is a dangerous, authoritarian tactic.

U.S. senators Kelly, from Arizona, and Slotkin, from Michigan, are under investigation from the President Donald Trump administration after appearing with other Democratic lawmakers in a video urging members of the military to resist illegal orders." The administration has also launched a criminal investigation of Powell, a first for a sitting federal reserve chair.

Walzs office said it has not received any notice of an investigation.

Frey described the investigation as an attempt to intimidate him for standing up for Minneapolis, our local law enforcement, and our residents against the chaos and danger this Administration has brought to our streets.

The U.S. attorneys office in Minneapolis did not immediately comment.

In a post on the social media platform X following reports of the investigation, Attorney General Pam Bondi said: A reminder to all those in Minnesota: No one is above the law. She did not specifically mention the investigation.

State calls for peaceful protests

State authorities, meanwhile, had a message for any weekend protests against the Trump administrations immigration sweep in the Twin Cities: avoid confrontation.

While peaceful expression is protected, any actions that harm people, destroy property or jeopardize public safety will not be tolerated, said Commissioner Bob Jacobson of the Minnesota Department of Public Safety.

His comments came after Trump backed off a bit from his threat a day earlier to invoke an 1807 law, the Insurrection Act, to send troops to suppress demonstrations.

I dont think theres any reason right now to use it, but if I needed it, Id use it, Trump told reporters outside the White House.

Judge rules on ACLU lawsuit

Federal officers in the Minneapolis-area participating in the enforcement operation cant detain or tear gas peaceful protesters, who arent obstructing authorities, including when these people are observing the agents, a U.S. judge in Minnesota ruled Friday.

U.S. District Judge Kate Menendez ruled in the case filed in December on behalf of six Minnesota activists, which were represented by the American Civil Liberties Union of Minnesota.

Government attorneys argued that the officers have been acting within their legal authority to enforce immigration laws and protect themselves. But the ACLU has said government officers are violating the constitutional rights of Twin Cities residents.

Detention whiplash

A Liberian man who has been shuttled in and out of custody since immigration agents broke down his door with a battering ram was released again Friday, hours after a routine check-in with authorities led to his second arrest.

The dramatic initial arrest of Garrison Gibson last weekend was captured on video. U.S. District Judge Jeffrey Bryan ruled the arrest unlawful Thursday and freed him, but Gibson was detained again Friday when he appeared at an immigration office.

A few hours later, Gibson was free again, attorney Marc Prokosch said.

In the words of my client, he said that somebody at ICE said they bleeped up and so they re-released him this afternoon and so hes out of custody, Prokosch said, referring to Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Gibson, 37, who fled the civil war in his West African home country as a child, had been ordered removed from the U.S., apparently because of a 2008 drug conviction that was later dismissed. He has remained in the country legally under whats known as an order of supervision, Prokosch said, and complied with the requirement that he meet regularly with immigration authorities.

In his Thursday order, the judge agreed that officials violated regulations by not giving Gibson enough notice that his supervision status had been revoked. Prokosch said he was told by ICE that they are now going through their proper channels" to revoke the order.

911 caller: Good was shot point blank

Minneapolis authorities released police and fire dispatch logs and transcripts of 911 calls, all related to the fatal shooting of Good. Firefighters found what appeared to be two gunshot wounds in her right chest, one in her left forearm and a possible gunshot wound on the left side of her head, records show.

They shot her, like, cause she wouldnt open her car door, a caller said. Point blank range in her car.

Good, 37, was at the wheel of her Honda Pilot, which was partially blocking a street. Video showed an officer approached the SUV, demanded that she open the door and grabbed the handle.

Good began to pull forward and turned the vehicle's wheel to the right. Another ICE officer, Jonathan Ross, pulled his gun and fired at close range, jumping back as the SUV moved past him. DHS claims the agent shot Good in self-defense.

The Utah man charged with killing conservative activist Charlie Kirk returned to court Friday, as his attorneys sought to disqualify prosecutors because the daughter of a deputy county attorney involved in the case attended the rally where Kirk was shot.

Defense attorneys say the relationship represents a conflict of interest after prosecutors said they intend to seek the death penalty against Tyler Robinson for aggravated murder.

Robinson, 22, has pleaded not guilty in the Sept. 10 shooting of Kirk on the Utah Valley University campus in Orem, just a few miles north of the Provo courthouse.

EARLIER | Suspect charged with shooting Charlie Kirk makes first in-person court appearance

The director of a state council that trains prosecutors said he doubted the disqualification attempt would succeed, and he was unaware of any major case where attorneys had been disqualified for bias.

I would bet against the defense winning this motion, said Utah Prosecution Council Director Robert Church. Theyve got to a show a substantial amount of prejudice and bias.

The prosecutors daughter, 18, who attended the event where Kirk was shot, later texted with her father in the Utah County Attorneys Office to describe the chaotic events around the shooting, according to court filings and testimony.

Robinson's attorneys say the close connection between the prosecution team and a person present for Kirk's killing raises serious concerns about past and future prosecutorial decision-making in this case, according to court documents.

They also argue that the rush to seek the death penalty against Robinson is evidence of strong emotional reactions by the prosecution and merits the disqualification of the entire team.

Defense attorney Richard Novak urged Judge Tony Graf on Friday to bring in the state attorney generals office in place of Utah County prosecutors to address the conflict of interest. Novak said it was problematic for county prosecutors to litigate on behalf of the state while defending their aptness to remain on the case.

Utah County Attorney Richard Gray replied that Novaks last-minute request was aimed at delaying the case against Robinson.

This is ambush and another stalling tactic to delay these proceedings, Gray said.

ABOUT THE SHOOTING | Conservative activist Charlie Kirk dies in shooting at Utah Valley University

Several thousand people attended the outdoor rally where Kirk, a co-founder of Turning Point USA who helped mobilize young people to vote for President Donald Trump, was shot as he took questions from the audience. The daughter of the deputy county attorney did not see the shooting, according to an affidavit submitted by prosecutors.

While the second person in line was speaking with Charlie, I was looking around the crowd when I heard a loud sound, like a pop. Someone yelled, hes been shot, she stated in the affidavit.

The child, a student at Utah Valley University, later texted a family group chat to say CHARLIE GOT SHOT. In the aftermath of the shooting, she did not miss classes or other activities, and reported no lasting trauma aside from being scared at the time, the affidavit said.

Prosecutors have asked Judge Graf to deny the disqualification request.

Under these circumstances, there is virtually no risk, let alone a significant risk, that it would arouse such emotions in any father-prosecutor as to render him unable to fairly prosecute the case, county attorney Gray said in a filing.

Gray also said the child was neither a material witness nor a victim in the case and that nearly everything the person knows about the actual homicide is mere hearsay.

If the Utah County prosecutors were disqualified, the case would likely shift to prosecutors in a county with enough resources to handle a big case, such as Salt Lake City, or possibly the state attorney generals office, said prosecution council director Church. Judge Graf would have final say, he said.

Prosecutors have said DNA evidence connects Robinson to the killing. Robinson also reportedly texted his romantic partner that he targeted Kirk because he had enough of his hatred.

At the school where the shooting took place, university president Astrid Tuminez announced Wednesday that she will be stepping down from her role after the semester ends in May.

The state university has been working to expand its police force and add security managers after it was criticized for a lack of key safety measures on the day of the shooting.

Prosecutors are expected to lay out their case against Robinson at a preliminary hearing scheduled to begin May 18.

A heated debate is dividing residents across Farmington Hills, Farmington, and Southfield over how to handle the area's growing deer population. While some call the animals a nuisance, others say they're part of what makes the community feel like home.

Watch Jeffrey Lindblom's video report: Controversial deer cull planned in Oakland County

The controversy has intensified as all three cities have approved plans to bring in sharpshooters to cull deer herds, sparking conversations about safety, balance, and what's best for both residents and wildlife.

"Deer are really good at one thing and that is reproducing," said Chad Stewart with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources' deer program.

Stewart has worked closely with officials from Farmington Hills, Farmington, and Southfield on deer management strategies.

"We've had extensive conversations with them over a long period of time," Stewart said.

Stewart says the DNR provides input to help cities prevent vehicle accidents with deer by encouraging hunting, altering fencing ordinances, or planting deer deterrents. However, Stewart describes culling as a cost-effective way to thin herds when other methods aren't sufficient.

"They will grow to very high numbers and eat themselves out of house and home," Stewart said.

The three cities voted last year to approve permits needed to hire sharpshooters to kill deer outside of hunting season and typical hunting boundaries.

Not all residents support the decision. Michelle Dimaria opposes deer culling and wishes the cities would try what she believes are more lasting solutions, such as sterilization.

"Totally disheartened by this whole thing. I just can't believe this," Dimaria said. "I don't feel that guns should be fired in residential neighborhoods."

Dimaria also objects to the cities' decision not to release real-time schedules for culling operations, citing safety reasons.

"The residents will have no idea when this is happening. In order to be prepared, stay away or keep their animals inside," Dimaria said.

Kevin Paradis supports thinning deer herds through culling to protect landscaping and prevent the animals from harming themselves, though he shares safety concerns about hunting near residential areas.

"I'm a little nervous for people running around with guns in this area," Paradis said. "We're just seeing more and more. It's not unusual for us to see 12 in the backyard. I think a deer cull is probably an okay thing."

Paradis believes culling will "put things back in a natural balance."

The city of Farmington Hills says it's proceeding with culling per DNR recommendations. Culling operations could begin as early as the end of this month or within the next couple of months.

The DNR typically only issues culling permits when cities comply with donating the venison to organizations that help feed the hungry.

"White tail deer management, especially lethal deer management, has a lot of strong emotions tied to it," Stewart said.

A cherished Ann Arbor music venue is getting a second chance at life thanks to an outpouring of community support more than three years after a devastating fire.

Watch Demetrios Sanders' video report: Beloved music venue Johnny's Speakeasy rising from the ashes

Johnny's Speakeasy, which hosted hundreds of musical acts over the years, suffered major damage in a September 2022 fire that forced owner John Williams from his home and shuttered the beloved venue on Dexter Road.

Now, with $70,000 in community donations, including materials and labor, the space is being rebuilt with the help of Doug Selby, a co-founder of Meadowlark Design+Build.

"I saw this nice little old lady's house and thought this was a nice, big backyard. And then I went down in the basement and did like everybody does, I go 'What is this,'" Williams said, recalling when he first discovered the property in the 1990s.

The basement, originally a fruit cellar from the 1800s, had been used for music by previous owners. Williams built on that history, transforming it into Johnny's Speakeasy, a small music venue that became a community gathering place.

"I figure I've had over 500 acts here," Williams said.

The September 2022 fire not only destroyed the venue but also displaced Williams from his home. Adding to his struggles, dealing with insurance proved difficult.

"That took a toll on me. I told my lawyer, you know what, I don't want to fight this anymore. I don't know what's going to happen," Williams said.

Selby, who had visited the venue for years, understood what made Johnny's Speakeasy special to the local music community.

"I feel like musicians would put on their best show because they knew other musicians were in the crowd. So you really got this unique, amazing experience," Selby said.

The rebuilding effort aims to preserve that magic of the intimate venue.

"Down in the speakeasy, we have a lot of old reclaimed lumber and a lot of stuff we were able to get out of there and save. And I think it'll be different but just as magical," Selby said.

To complete the project, organizers need to raise an additional $140,000. Despite the financial challenge ahead, those involved remain optimistic about the progress made after years of uncertainty.

"In these dark times, it really restores your faith in humanity," Williams said.

For Selby and other community members, the project represents more than just rebuilding a venue.

"We want to have the venue back, but we also want John to stay in our community and live here," Selby said.

The goal is to move Williams back into his home by next winter, with music performances resuming sometime after that.

On Thursday, President Trump unveiled his Great Health Care Plan, which aims to lower the cost of health insurance for Americans on the Affordable Care Act.

At the center of the president's plan are health savings accounts for Americans so they can pay down the high cost of healthcare directly.

RELATED NEWS | Trump unveils health care plan that would pay Americans directly to buy coverage

But the president's proposal is separate from bipartisan negotiations on Capitol Hill.

Critically, it doesn't include any extension of expanded Affordable Care Act subsidies, which expired at the end of last year.

A White House official told Scripps News Group that the proposal "does not specifically address those bipartisan congressional negotiations that are going on."

Those talks are led in part by freshman Republican Senator Bernie Moreno of Ohio, who told reporters Thursday ahead of a Senate recess that talks have hit a snag.

"Here's where we're at. So we are in a little bit of a pothole. Democrats that we're talking to are, absolutely they are, in good faith. They absolutely want to get a deal done. They are absolutely willing to do an extension of reforms, but what I've seen in my year here is that unless the Democrat leader wants a deal to happen, it just will not happen," Sen. Moreno said.

The Senator placed the blame squarely on Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, who has advocated with his fellow Congressional Democrats for a three-year extension of credits.

According to Sen. Moreno, bipartisan negotiations have zeroed in on a two-year plan, which would allow for an extension of the expanded expired tax credits, paired with a health savings account option, to put money directly in Americans' pockets in year two.

Since open enrollment ended for 2026 on January 15th, Sen. Moreno says an agreement would reopen open enrollment for Americans who get their coverage thru the ACA.

Healthcare is expected to be a major campaign issue in this year's midterm elections.

With negotiations stalled and campaigns ramping up, it's not clear if a bipartisan group of lawmakers will be able to deliver on a plan.

Meanwhile, millions of Americans are projected to lose their health insurance over the expired tax credits, and those who have renewed their plans are now paying significantly more for the same coverage.

Southfield Police have wrapped up their investigation into a double shooting that left one woman dead and another hospitalized.

Watch Carli Petrus's video report: Southfield Police say no charges will be filed in fatal Bloom Lounge shooting

Investigators say a Bloom Lounge security guard taken into custody shortly after the shooting will not face any criminal charges.

The investigation revealed the incident began with a physical fight between a couple, according to police.

"During the altercation, the decedent's sister and her sister's husband were engaged in a physical dispute during which time the sister sustained a head injury," Barren said.

The situation escalated when Fields became involved in a physical altercation with her brother-in-law, which then shifted to a fight between Fields and her brother-in-law's sister, police said.

Bloom Lounge security responded to the disturbance and began assisting the woman with the head injury when Fields pulled out a weapon on the security guard, according to investigators.

"The security guard drew his firearm and instructed her to back away. He then determined the object was a wrench and attempted to re-holster his weapon," Barren said.

Fields dropped the wrench but continued toward the security guard and removed a handgun from a cloth holster inside her waistband, police said.

Witnesses reported Fields was just one to two feet away when she raised her gun, according to investigators. The security guard then fired, striking her six times.

"The second woman who was injured earlier during the physical altercation was inadvertently struck in the leg by gunfire due to her close proximity to the incident," Barren said.

Both firearms were legally registered to their respective owners, police confirmed.

Community concerns about Bloom Lounge

Nearby residents have expressed concerns about Bloom Lounge becoming a problem in the area.

"The club has become very disruptive," one resident said.

"It's a disturbance over there. I'd hate to run them out, but if they have to go, they have to go. We need our peace and quiet," another resident said.

Barren said next steps include talking to residents and the lounge owners "to address some of the concerns associated with this incident and then just the nature of bars and restaurants as a whole, with types of patrons that they draw."

"Our thoughts are with the families, loved ones, and community members affected by this incident," Barren said.

"While the criminal investigation has concluded, this remains a tragic incident that resulted in the loss of life and injury to another individual," he added.

Unrest in Minneapolis is set to stretch into the weekend.

Demonstrators are protesting outside a federal building again on Friday after clashes intensified the night before.

The Department of Homeland Security says it arrested 12 anti-ICE protesters who it alleges were assaulting officers.

Scripps News Group cameras captured one woman being detained Thursday night.

On Friday, Democratic congressional lawmakers held a hearing in Minnesota bashing the Trump administration's deployment of federal immigration officers to the state and calling for them to leave.

"The Trump administration is abusing its power of the federal government to deny people their civil rights and subjecting them to violence," said Sen. Tina Smith (D-MN).

"What we are witnessing right now is unprecedented," said Rep. Ilan Omar (D-MN).

"What we're seeing on our streets is unnecessary abuses of force. This is an invasion for the sake of creating chaos by our own federal government," said Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey.

But DHS is standing by its operation and highlighting some of the 2,500 undocumented migrants it says it's arrested in Minneapolis under its current deployment.

"Scores and scores of murderers, child pedophiles gang members, known and suspected terrorists, these are all the people that we've arrested in Minneapolis, and DHS and Secretary Noem, President Trump have done a phenomenal job of trying to give people transparency on who we are arresting," said DHS Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs Tricia McLaughlin.

A majority of Americans say President Trump has gone too far in deporting migrants living in the U.S. illegally. However nearly as many say the president's actions have been about right or have not gone far enough.
