Project Lifesaver helps kids and the elderly
SUMMARY: Project Lifesaver in Nicholas County, West Virginia, helps locate individuals at risk of wandering, providing peace of mind for families. The program, especially beneficial for children with autism or adults with dementia, uses an ankle monitor to track a person’s location. Crystal Taylor, a single mother of a 13-year-old with autism, signed up for the program 11 years ago. She says it gives her confidence that if her son wanders off, the sheriff’s department can quickly locate him. The program reassures parents and caregivers, ensuring the safety of their loved ones with timely responses from local deputies.

Trump admin looks to dismantle Tren De Aragua
SUMMARY: The Trump administration has prioritized dismantling the Venezuelan gang Tren De Aragua (TDA), considered one of the most violent criminal organizations worldwide. The Department of Justice reports over 2,700 arrests of TDA members in the U.S., including a recent incident in Aurora, Colorado, linked to shootings and kidnappings. FBI added alleged leader Giovani Vicente Mosca Serrano to its 10 Most Wanted list. Trump designated TDA as a terrorist organization to expedite deportations under a 1798 law, originally wartime legislation, whose application is now challenged in courts. The Supreme Court may soon decide on the law’s future use.
