USA Today: FBI and DHS question using tattoos to accurately ID Venezuelan criminal gangs

Tattoo not usable

Federal agents have been sweeping up Venezuelan migrants and sending them to a Salvadoran prison based in large part on tattoos depicting stopwatches, Michael Jordan logos and other ink art they claim betrays an allegiance to the Tren de Aragua street gang.

But internal U.S. Department of Homeland Security and FBI documents obtained by USA TODAY reveal federal authorities for years have questioned the effectiveness of using tattoos to identify members of Tren de Aragua, also known as TdA.

“Gang Unit collections determined that the Chicago Bulls attire, clocks, and rose tattoos are typically related to the Venezuelan culture and not a definite (indicator) of being a member or associate of the (TdA),” reads a 2023 "Situational Awareness" bulletin on the criminal gang written by the U.S. Custom and Border Protection’s El Paso Sector Intelligence Unit.

Federal Judge Says Texas A&M Can Host Drag Show

Texas A&M

A federal judge has stopped Texas A&M’s board from banning drag shows on campus.

Lee H. Rosenthal, who was appointed as a federal judge by former President George H. W. Bush, wrote a Memorandum and Opinion on Monday that any student who finds the “Draggieland” performance “offensive has a simple remedy: don’t go.”

“The Board, and some members of the A&M community, are offended by the Draggieland performance,” Rosenthal wrote. “To ban the performance from taking place on campus because it offends some members of the campus community is precisely what the First Amendment prohibits.”

Trump freeze on resettlement funding leaves new refugees scrambling to adjust in U.S.

new immigrants on their own

When 21-year-old Jefferson arrived in the U.S. in December, a case manager from a resettlement agency met him at the airport and took him straight to an apartment. Within a month, the manager also helped him land a job operating a machine that packs lettuce.

Jefferson's new life in America was taking shape. Then suddenly, in late January, his case manager disappeared.

"I was left alone, with no one to provide guidance in this new country," he says, speaking in Spanish because he doesn't yet know much English.

It turned out the case manager had been let go — and their work phone shut down — after the Trump administration froze refugee resettlement.

Gene Hackman, wife's deaths 'suspicious: Grim details emerge in search warrant

Gene HackmanGene Hackman and his wife Betsy Arakawa's deaths at their New Mexico home Wednesday are being described as "suspicious," according to a search warrant released Thursday.

In the filing, Santa Fe County Sheriff's Office Detective Roy Arndt says the couple were found in different rooms in their sprawling Santa Fe home, where the two-time Oscar winner, 95, retreated to for a lowkey life after leaving Hollywood.

Authorities found the actor was in a mudroom near his cane, appearing to have fallen, while wife Arakawa, 64, was found in an open bathroom near a space heater, according to the warrant.

An open prescription bottle and pills were scattered on the nearby countertop, the warrant says. A deputy observed Arakawa with "body decomposition, bloating in her face" and mummification of her hands and feet.

Supreme Court declines to review Mississippi voting ban for convicted felons

SCOTUS rejects felon voting caseThe Supreme Court declined Monday to decide whether a permanent voting ban on people convicted of felonies in Mississippi is cruel and unusual punishment.

The court, in 2023, had also rejected a different challenge to the state’s voting restriction that was based on the fact it was drafted in 1890 as part of a racist effort to disenfranchise Black voters.

Mississippi is one of eleven states that doesn't automatically restore voting rights after convicted felons finish their sentences.

Voting rights experts say Mississippi’s restrictions are among the harshest because the state bans voting by first-time offenders who commit non-violent felonies. And the process for restoring the right is onerous.
