Mississippi police were at odds as they searched for missing man, widow says
SUMMARY: Dau Mabil, a Sudanese Civil War refugee, went missing in Mississippi, leading to a blame game between the Capitol Police and Jackson Police Department on the stalled investigation. His body was found by fishermen in a river, but the circumstances leading to his death remain unclear. The two police agencies were criticized for not cooperating in the search efforts, despite recent joint crime-curbing initiatives. A legal dispute arose between Mabil's widow and her brother-in-law over the handling of his autopsy. The police agencies are still investigating the case, with a court awaiting further information before considering an independent autopsy.

SUMMARY: TikTok is suing the U.S. government to block a law that would force the app to be divested from its Chinese parent company or face a ban in the country. The law gives ByteDance 270 days to sell TikTok to a U.S. company or face a ban from American networks and app stores. TikTok argues that a “qualified divestiture” is not possible and would lead to the shutdown of the app in the U.S., affecting millions of daily users. The lawsuit claims that the law violates the First Amendment, as it forces the app to be separated from its parent company.
