NYC Appoints Ex-Convict as Corrections Commissioner Amidst Epstein Document Release, ICE Incident, and Other News

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani appointed Stanley Richards, a former inmate, as commissioner of the Department of Correction on Saturday, marking the first time a formerly incarcerated person will hold the position, according to Fox News. The appointment comes as newly released documents shed light on the relationships of prominent figures with Jeffrey Epstein, and an illegal immigrant allegedly rammed an ICE vehicle in Minnesota.

Mamdani stated that he would rely on Richards to "build a city" focused on rehabilitation, Fox News reported. Richards served time in the 1980s for robbery.

Meanwhile, the release of nearly three million pages of Epstein-related records has revealed deeper connections between Epstein and some of the world's wealthiest and most powerful people than they previously admitted, according to The New York Times. These individuals had attempted to distance themselves from Epstein following his 2019 arrest and subsequent suicide in jail, claiming limited knowledge of his activities. The documents, however, suggest otherwise.

In Minnesota, Tranquilino Sixto-Anorve, an illegal immigrant from Mexico, was arrested on Saturday after allegedly ramming his car into a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) vehicle and a civilian car in St. Paul, Fox News reported. ICE stated that Sixto-Anorve had multiple DUI convictions and was considered a "public safety threat." "This ramming highlights incr" according to ICE.

In other news, Amber Rose defended Erika Kirk, the widow of Charlie Kirk, against online criticism, Fox News reported. During a livestream, Rose addressed those criticizing Erika Kirk's reaction to her husband's death. "Everyone grieves differently," Rose said, suggesting that Erika Kirk might feel it's her "duty to keep him alive in a sense by kind of doing everything that he was doing."

Additionally, in Virginia, authorities are investigating the strangulation of Katlyn Lyon Montgomery, which occurred while her then-4-year-old daughter was sleeping nearby on Oct. 7, 2022, according to CBS News. Crystal Sale, Montgomery's mother, recounted the experience of arriving at the hospital and witnessing CPR efforts on her daughter. Sale also expressed gratitude for the support of her sisters, Sherry Cox and Tina Hopkins, during the ordeal. Cox was caring for Montgomery's daughter, Milani, and Hopkins recalled receiving a call from Cox indicating that "something was wrong with Katlyn."
