U.S. Olympic sprinter Sha'Carri Richardson was arrested in Florida on Thursday for speeding, allegedly driving 104 mph, according to authorities. This incident marks the latest in a series of off-track issues for the American gold medalist.
Richardson was reportedly driving 104 mph and dangerously passing other motorists on the highway, according to authorities.
In August, Richardson was arrested for allegedly assaulting her boyfriend, fellow American sprinter Christian Coleman, at the Seattle Tacoma Airport.
In Minnesota, Attorney General Keith Ellison disputed claims made by border czar Tom Homan regarding an agreement with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Ellison stated on Thursday that there was no new agreement allowing county jails to notify ICE of inmate release dates. "I did not make, and could not have made, any agreement with him about how sheriffs share with ICE information about people in their county jails," Ellison said in a statement. Ellison's office clarified that Minnesota law requires notification to ICE only in specific cases.
Meanwhile, in California, school board members criticized what they described as "fearmongering" related to immigration enforcement, as teachers unions and school districts across the state scrutinized ICE. Paso Robles Unified School District Trustee Kenney Enney told Fox News Digital, "There's really no reason for federal law enforcement to come to a school. I can't really think of a scenario where that would happen."
Separately, tensions remained high in the Middle East, as the U.S. military built up forces near Iran. According to the New York Times, the U.S.S. Lincoln aircraft carrier, accompanied by three warships equipped with Tomahawk missiles, entered the Central Command's area of responsibility in the western Indian Ocean on Monday and were stationed in the Arabian Sea on Thursday, according to Navy officials.
Also in Minnesota, Patrick J. Schiltz, chief judge of the District of Minnesota, has shown increasing frustration and anger with the Trump administration and its tactics in court.
