Undocumented immigrant arrested in Harrison County for trafficking fentanyl
SUMMARY: Francisco Antonio Castillo Mendoza, a Mexican national from Sonora, was arrested in Harrison County for fentanyl trafficking. Upon being pulled over for careless driving in a Domino's Pizza parking lot, his suspicious behavior led deputies to conduct a canine-assisted vehicle scan. The search revealed over 100,000 fentanyl-laced counterfeit pills. Investigations confirmed Mendoza's illegal residency status in the U.S., prompting immigration violation charges and assistance from U.S. Border Patrol and DEA. Mendoza faces aggravated trafficking charges with a $100,000 bond, but is not bondable due to the immigration detainer.

PERS bill set to phase in employer rate increase heads to governor’s desk
SUMMARY: Mississippi's public employees' retirement system (PERS) will see financial changes as Senate Bill 3231 heads to Gov. Tate Reeves' desk. The bill prevents a 2% employer rate increase in July 2024, substituting it with a 0.5% hike each year until 2028. Future rate changes by the PERS Board will require two independent actuarial assessments and legislative approval. House Speaker Jason White affirmed that the measure, intended to address a potential $25 billion funding issue, won't affect current employees or retirees but aims to ensure financial obligations can be met without burdening taxpayers. Further PERS reforms may be considered in 2025.
