At least eight deputies with the Los Angeles sheriff’s department have been dismissed for their roles in the arrest and beating of a transgender man in February 2023, the Los Angeles Times reports. An FBI investigation remains ongoing.

Deputy Joseph Benza III, the main officer involved in the incident with then 23-year-old Emmett Brock, pleaded guilty in federal court last week to one felony count of deprivation of rights under the color of law, which carries a maximum of 10 years in prison.

The New York city mayor, Eric Adams, announced on Tuesday that an additional 25 shelters used to house asylum seekers will be closing in the coming two months.

The move comes amid a rightward tack by Adams, especially on the issue of immigration, which has seen him hew close to the incoming Donald Trump administration, which has plans for a mass deportation of millions of undocumented immigrants.

The number of asylum seekers in city shelters is now at its lowest point in 17 months after decreasing for 22 straight weeks.

Among the closing shelters are the Humanitarian Emergency Response and Relief Center at Floyd Bennett Field, which houses about 2,000 people, with housing costs paid by New York state. The state will continue to reimburse New York City for the costs for equivalent care incurred at other migrant housing sites across the city.

In the present report, the Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967,  Albanese, examines the unfolding horrors in the occupied Palestinian territory.

While the wholesale destruction of Gaza continues unabated, other parts of the land have not been spared.

The violence that Israel has unleashed against the Palestinians post-7 October is not
happening in a vacuum, but is part of a long-term intentional, systematic, State-
organized forced displacement and replacement of the Palestinians.

This trajectory risks causing irreparable prejudice to the very existence of the Palestinian people in Palestine. Member States must intervene now to prevent new atrocities that will
further scar human history.

TVNL Comment:  Because of her attempt to report truthfully,  Albanese has wrongfully been labelled "anti-Semitic." Her appearance before the US Congress, among other formats, was abruptly cancelled after this accusation was made. The report, however, remains part of history.

Leonard Peltier, a Native American activist who has served nearly 50 years in prison for the killing of two FBI agents, was due to have his first parole hearing since 2009 on Monday, his lawyer said.

Peltier, 79, has maintained that he did not kill the FBI special agents Jack Coler and Ronald Williams in 1975 on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. Advocates, including figures such as the late Nelson Mandela and a former prosecutor and judge involved in his case, have long said he should be freed because of what they call legal irregularities in his trial.
