Berkeley County family sues Delta Airlines over explicit videos taken by employee on stolen iPad
SUMMARY: A Berkeley County family is suing Delta Air Lines after a Delta employee allegedly stole their child’s iPad left on a connecting flight from Charleston. The lawsuit, filed June 16, claims the employee used the device to take inappropriate photos and videos while in uniform, uploaded them to iCloud, and created profiles on the family’s Amazon and iTunes accounts. The family realized the theft after tracking the iPad to Queens via the “Find My” app and received no meaningful response from Delta beyond automated emails. Represented by Motley Rice, they accuse Delta and Unifi Aviation of negligence and seek damages and a jury trial.

South Carolina man detained by ICE over two years, ‘He is not here illegally’
SUMMARY: Andre Lindsay has been held in ICE detention for nearly three years despite having a green card. His family says he was initially jailed on charges that were later dropped, yet ICE detained him afterward, citing drug charges from over 25 years ago, which he already served time for. Lindsay testified in a murder trial, leading to the deportation of several men from Jamaica, whom he fears if returned. His health has severely declined; he now uses a wheelchair or walker and lacks proper medication. His family hopes he can return home to his children and grandchildren. A hearing is scheduled for September 12.
