An outbreak of bacterial pneumonia has infected dozens of people in New York City, according to health officials.A total of 58 people have been diagnosed with Legionnaires disease, a type of pneumonia caused by the bacteria Legionella.Two people have died, the NYC Health Department confirmed in an August 4 news release.DEATHS REPORTED AFTER LEGIONNAIRES' DISEASE OUTBREAK AT SENIOR LIVING FACILITYThe cluster of cases is concentrated in Central Harlem and bordering communities (zip codes 10027, 10030, 10035, 10037 and 10039)."Anyone in these zip codes with flu-like symptoms should contact a healthcare provider as soon as possible," saidActing Health Commissioner Dr. Michelle Morse in the health departments alert.Legionnaires is usually found in lakes, streams and other freshwater environments.However, it can grow and spread indoors via shower heads, sink faucets, hot tubs, water features/fountains, plumbing systems and other water systems where conditions are favorable for the Legionella bacteria to grow, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).HIGHLY CONTAGIOUS DISEASE SURGES IN SOME US STATES AMID REPORT OF POSSIBLE FATAL CASEWhen people swallow or breathe in droplets of water that contain Legionella, they can potentially become ill with Legionnaires disease.The disease is not typically spread from person to person, per the CDC.In the case of the New York City outbreak, the health department directed the state to perform remediation for 11 cooling towers that tested positive for the bacteria."Legionnaires disease can be effectively treated if diagnosed early, but New Yorkers at higher risk, like adults aged 50 and older and those who smoke or have chronic lung conditions, should be especially mindful of their symptoms and seek care as soon as symptoms begin," Morse added.Symptoms of Legionnaires disease usually show up between two and 14 days after exposure.The condition usually causes flu-like symptoms, including cough, chills, muscle aches, fever or difficulty breathing.Some patients may also experience nausea, diarrhea and confusion, the CDC noted."The nature of the symptoms is not necessarily what differentiates Legionella from other causes, but history of exposure from human-made reservoirs, though this may be hard to discern early on in infection and/or in an outbreak," said Goodyear.Those who have any of these symptoms shouldseek medical attention immediately, the CDC advises.Groups at highest risk include smokers, people 50 and older, those with chronic lung disease and people who are immunocompromised, according to health officials."Other risk factors include advancing age,cardiovascular disease, obesity and compromised immune systems," Dr. Nathan Goodyear, medical director of Brio-Medical in Arizona, previously told Fox News Digital.Diagnosis of Legionnaires disease is made via chest X-ray, urine test and lab analysis of a phlegm sample.Most people with the disease will recover with a course of antibiotics.In some patients, however, serious illness can lead to lung failure or death, per the CDC.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR HEALTH NEWSLETTERAround 10% of people who contract Legionnaires disease will die from those complications and the mortality risk rises to 25% for those who get Legionnaires while staying in a healthcare facility."Treatment needs to be early and aggressive," Goodyear told Fox News Digital. "Legionella infection is an intracellular infection that requiresantibiotic treatment."Antibiotics that are appropriate for Legionella infection include Levofloxacin and Azithromycin."Therapy can be prescribed orally in healthy individuals but intravenous antibiotics often prove to be the initial option for treatment secondary to the pathogenicity of the disease," Goodyear said.Currently, there are no vaccines for Legionnaires disease.The best strategy to prevent infection is to reduce the growth and spread of the Legionella bacteria.For more Health articles, visitwww.foxnews.com/healthThe CDC recommends that building owners and managers use a water management program to reduce the risk.To prevent serious illness from Legionnaires, Goodyear recommends that allsmokers kick the habit, and also emphasizes the need to "aggressively support" chronic pulmonary disease.

Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., is calling on the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to revoke the nonprofit status of a Muslim advocacy group that he believes has ties to terror groups, including Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood.In the letter, Cotton notes that "in the largest terrorism-financing case in U.S. history, [the Council on American-Islamic Relations] was listed as a member of the Muslim Brotherhoods Palestine Committee." CAIR was listed as an unindicted coconspirator in the infamous Holy Land Foundation (HLF) terrorism financing case. The organization later attempted, unsuccessfully, to have its name removed from the list.The Justice Department found that HLF and five of its leaders had, while working together and with others, "provided material support to the Hamas movement." In total, the groups provided Hamas with approximately $12.4M, according to the DOJ.GOP BILL SEEKS TO BAN AND DEPORT VISA HOLDERS WHO SUPPORT HAMAS AMID WAVE OF ANTISEMITIC VIOLENCE IN AMERICAHLF was convicted on "10 counts of conspiracy to provide, and the provision of, material support to a designated foreign terrorist organization; 11 counts of conspiracy to provide, and the provision of, funds, goods and services to a Specially Designated Terrorist; and 10 counts of conspiracy to commit, and the commission of, money laundering.""The IRS has broad authority to examine whether an entity's operations align with its exempt purpose. Tax-exempt status is a privilege, not a right, and it should not subsidize organizations with links to terrorism," Cotton wrote.CAIR QUIETLY SCRUBS DEMOCRATS' PRAISE FOR GROUP AFTER BLOWBACK OVER LEADER'S PRO-HAMAS COMMENTSCAIR characterized Cottons demand as being "based on debunked conspiracy theories," and likened the senators request to the IRS to the McCarthy era."We are an independent American civil rights organization that has spent over thirty years defending the Constitution, countering anti-Muslim bigotry, and opposing injustice here and abroad, including discrimination, hate crimes, terrorism, ethnic cleansing, and genocide," CAIR said in a statement to Fox News Digital.CAIR DIRECTOR SAYS HE WAS 'HAPPY' ON OCT. 7, ISRAEL 'DOES NOT HAVE RIGHT TO SELF-DEFENSE'"We specifically condemned the Oct. 7th attacks on civilians, just as we condemn the ongoing genocide in Gaza. This is called moral consistency. Senator Cotton should try it," the organization added.CAIR was disavowed by the Biden administration after the organization's executive director appeared to praise Hamas Oct. 7 massacre. In November 2023, just weeks after the attacks, CAIR National Executive Director Nihad Awad said he was "happy to see" Palestinians "breaking the siege and throwing down the shackles of their own land." Additionally, in his remarks, Awad appeared to further justify the attacks, saying that "the people of Gaza have the right to self-defense" and that Israel does not.The New York Times quoted then-Biden spokesperson Andrew Bates as saying that the administration condemned the "shocking, antisemitic statements in the strongest terms."The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) slammed Awads recent remarks about the U.S. and Israeli strikes on Irans nuclear sites. The national executive director said that "Netanyahu calls the shots. Trump pretends to be in charge." Additionally, the ADL pointed out that Hussam Ayloush, executive director of CAIRs Los Angeles chapter, referred to Congress and the White House as "Israeli-occupied territories."

Two Chinese nationals one of them an illegal immigrant were arrested for allegedly shipping tens of millions of dollars worth of sensitive microchips used in artificial intelligence (AI) applications to China, the Justice Department announced Tuesday.The federal criminal complaint charges Chuan Geng, 28, of Pasadena, California, and Shiwei Yang, 28, of El Monte, California, with violating the Export Control Reform Act.Prosecutors said the felony offense carries a statutory maximum penalty of 20 years in prison. Yang an illegal immigrant who overstayed her visa was arrested on Saturday. Geng surrendered to federal authorities later that day, the DOJ said.PATEL SOUNDS ALARM AS CHINESE NATIONALS CHARGED WITH SMUGGLING 'AGROTERRORISM AGENT' INTO US: 'DIRECT THREAT'They made their initial appearance in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles on Monday but no pleas were taken. At that time, a federal magistrate judge ordered Geng a lawful permanent resident released on $250,000 bond.The judge also scheduled an Aug. 12 detention hearing for Yang. Their arraignment is scheduled for Sept. 11.Through their El Monte-based company, ALX Solutions Inc., Geng and Yang allegedly "knowingly and willfully" exported from the United States to China sensitive technology, including graphic processing units (GPUs) specialized computer parts used for modern computing without first obtaining the required license or authorization from the U.S. Department of Commerce, according to affidavit filed with the complaint. The activity allegedly began in October 2022 and continued until July 2025.According to the complaint, ALX Solutions Inc. was founded shortly after the Department of Commerce began requiring licenses for the advanced microchips that Yang and Geng are alleged to have illegally exported.The Justice Department said that a review of export records, business records and company websites indicates that a December 2024 shipment and at least 20 previous shipments by ALX Solutions involved exports from the U.S. to shipping and freight-forwarding companies in Singapore and Malaysia commonly used as transshipment points to conceal illegal shipments to China. According to the complaint, ALX Solutions has not received payments from the entities to which they purportedly exported goods. Instead, prosecutors say, ALX Solutions received numerous payments from companies based in Hong Kong and China, including a $1 million payment from a China-based company in January 2024.CHINESE CITIZEN ADMITS STEALING US TRADE SECRETS FOR NEXT-GENERATION NATIONAL SECURITY TECHProsecutors allege that ALX Solutions sent a shipment in December 2024 that falsely labeled that it was sending GPUs subject to federal laws and regulations. The complaint says the shipment actually contained GPUs that required a license for export to China. Neither Geng nor Yang (nor their company) applied for or obtained a license from the Department of Commerce.The Justice Department said the chip was "made by a manufacturer of high-performance AI chips" and is considered the "most powerful GPU chip on the market." According to the complaint, the chip is "designed specifically for AI applications," such as "to develop self-driving cars, medical diagnosis systems, and other AI-powered applications."Law enforcement searched ALX Solutions office last week and seized phones belonging to Geng and Yang. The DOJ said the phones "revealed incriminating communications between the defendants, including communications about shipping export-controlled chips to China through Malaysia to evade U.S. export laws."CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPThe Trump administration has sounded the alarm over Chinese nationals infiltrating U.S. institutions including American tech companies and universities for potential sabotage or to gain access to proprietary information worth millions. Last month, President Donald Trump delivered an AI summit speech asserting that the United States must "win the global race with China" regarding the rapidly evolving technology. The president emphasized the need to remove barriers to maintain U.S. leadership in A.I. and signed three executive orders to expedite federal permitting for AI data centers and infrastructure, expand U.S. AI exports to allied nations and prohibit AI tools in government that are considered ideologically biased or "woke."

Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, on Tuesday wrote a letter to FBI Director Kash Patel asking for the bureau's help in finding and arresting Texas House Democrats who fled the state Sunday to prevent a vote on redistricting."I have asked @FBIDirectorKash to workwith @GregAbbott_TX & Texas law enforcement to investigate potential CRIMINALacts, including bribery,andto hold legislators accountable who have fled the state in a shameful attempt to stall the legislative process in the Texas House," Cornyn wrote in a post on X Tuesday.By fleeing the state, the lawmakers have left Texas House of Representatives without a quorum, meaning that no legislative activity can proceed. A quorum was not reached again Tuesday.AWOL TEXAS DEMS THREATENED WITH EXPULSION, FELONY CHARGES FOR ABSENCE AMID REDISTRICTING BATTLE"In a representative democracy, we resolve our differences by debating and voting, not by running away," Cornyn wrote in the letter. "Some Texas legislators have fled to New York, and others have fled to Illinois. Since these state legislators are currently outside of Texas, the Texas Department of Public Safety may need support to arrest the fleeing lawmakers."Cornyn also warned of "out-of-state actors" making public comments about protecting the missing Texas legislators."Specifically, I am concerned that legislators who solicited or accepted funds to aid in their efforts to avoid their legislative duties may be guilty of bribery or other public corruption offenses," he added.READ THE CORNYN LETTER APP USERS, CLICK HERE:In an op-ed published by the Houston Chronicle on Tuesday, Gov. Kathy Hochul admitted to hosting Texas House Democrats at the New York state Capitol and governor's residence this week, claiming they were "following a legitimate and legal tactic.""As John Lewis said, sometimes you have to get into good trouble," Hochul wrote. "Thats what theyre doing and they're not alone."CROCKETT CHEERS TEXAS DEMS FLEEING TO DELAY CONGRESSIONAL MAPS BACKED BY 'RIDICULOUS TYRANT' TRUMP: 'DEUCES!'Cornyn said the matter is "time-sensitive," as the Texas Legislature is currently in special session called by Gov. Greg Abbott with just weeks remaining."The absence of a quorum prevents key votes on important areas of concern for Texans," he wrote. "For example, the recent Kerrville floods, which caused unbearable tragedy and destruction, is just one issue that needs to be addressed in this legislative session."WATCH: HOCHUL CLAIMS INSURRECTION IN TEXAS:HOCHUL VOWS TO 'FIGHT FIRE WITH FIRE' ON REDISTRICTING WHILE HOSTING TEXAS DEMOCRATS WHO FLED STATE"Governor Abbott and Texas state law enforcement officers are doing what they can within the confines of the law, but federal help may be necessary," Cornyn wrote. "These legislators have committed potential criminal acts in their rush to avoid their constitutional responsibilities and must be fully investigated and held accountable. I urge you to work with Texas public officials to provide them the support they need."Cornyn's office did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment. The FBI declined to comment.

The Trump administration's Environmental Protection Agency is weighing a plan to slash a multibillion-dollar Biden-era green energy program focused on installing solar panels on residential properties, Fox News Digital has learned.The EPA is considering sending letters to dozens of nonprofits and state groups that received federal grants under the Biden administration's "Solar for All" program to inform them the grants have been canceled, the New York Times reported earlier Tuesday. The Solar for All program is a $7 billion initiative launched in 2024 to deliver residential solar to "900,000 low-income and disadvantaged households" across the country.Fox News Digital learned that the EPA has not made a final decision on the grants as of Tuesday afternoon."With the passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill, EPA isworking to ensure congressional intent is fully implemented in accordance with the law," an EPA spokesperson told Fox Digital Tuesday when asked about the report to cancel the grants.The One Big Beautiful Bill Act includes provisions related to solar, including phasing out solar tax credits.GOP LAWMAKERS MOVE TO ROLL BACK BIDEN-ERA ENERGY PROGRAMSThe Biden administration announced in April 2024 that 60 nonprofits and state groups nationwide would receive $7 billion in grant awards to install residential solar, which administration leaders predicted would lead to more than $350 million in annual savings on electric bills for middle- and low-income households. It is unclear how much of the $7 billion in funds already has been spent.The program was funded through the Inflation Reduction Act, and was touted by President Joe Biden's EPA Administrator Michael Regan and John Podesta, Biden's adviser for international climate policy, as a win for low-income homes in need of cheaper electric bills."Solar is the cheapest form of electricity and one of the best ways to lower energy costs for American families," Podesta said in a press release at the time. "Todays announcement of EPAs Solar for All awards will mean that low-income communities, and not just well-off communities, will feel the cost-saving benefits of solar thanks to this investment."Biden placed green energy initiatives as a top priority throughout his presidency. In the waning days of his administration, for example, he became the first sitting U.S. president to visit the Amazon rainforest to tout his green legacy before departing office, and also declared during a climate summit in September 2024 that he and then-Vice President Kamala Harris pursued "an ambitious climate policy focused on growth" despite being "told it couldnt get done."EPA HEAD LEE ZELDIN DEFENDS REPEALING OBAMA-ERA CLIMATE CHANGE REGULATION WHEN PRESSED BY CNN HOSTThe Inflation Reduction Act included a handful of green energy projects, such as $350 million in grants aimed at reducing "embodied greenhouse gas emissions of construction materials and products," and Democrats pledged it would reduce carbon emissions by roughly 40% by 2030.TRUMPS ENERGY DEPARTMENT IS TAKING BACK OUR HOME APPLIANCES FROM BERSERK BUREAUCRATSThe EPA previously has taken a hatchet to Biden-era federal grants related to the environment, including canceling $20 billion in grants under the Inflation Reduction Act which has led to an ongoing court battle. EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin said in March that the $20 billion in U.S. tax dollars were "parked at an outside financial institution in a deliberate effort to limit government oversight, doling out your money through just eight pass-through, politically connected, unqualified, and in some cases brand-new NGOs."The EPA's consideration to terminate the solar grants comes after the Trump administration announced the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management was canceling new offshore wind development on 3.5 million acres nationwide at the end of July, and called wind and solar energy "a blight on our country," while adding "smart countries dont use it."

President Donald Trump is ramping up the heat on pharmaceutical companies, urging them in letters sent Thursday to cut down drug prices in accordance with an executive order he signed in May.But Trump has limited authority to actually force drug companies to adjust prices, according to experts, and his effort equates to price control.As a result, utilizing public pressure through these letters may be one tool hes employing to get companies to comply, according to Benedic Ippolito, a senior fellow in economic policy studies at the conservative-leaning American Enterprise Institute think tank."One of the big questions has been just how much can the administration realistically pressure these drugmakers to do something that is at least nominally voluntary," Ippolito told Fox News Digital Monday.TRUMPS ORDER TO BRING DOWN DRUG PRICES HAS THE PUBLIC SPLIT. HERE'S WHAT THEY'RE SAYINGDrug prices have dramatically climbed in recent years.Prescription drug prices increased more than 15% from January 2022 and January 2023, reaching an average of $590 per drug product, according to the Department of Health and Human Services. Of the 4,200 prescription drugs included on that list, 46% of the price increases exceeded the rate of inflation.Trumps original executive order signed in May directs the Department of Health and Human Services to establish price targets for pharmaceutical manufacturers. Failure to comply will prompt the Justice Department and the Federal Trade Commission to "undertake enforcement action against any anti-competitive practices," along with other consequences.Additionally, Trump introduced plans to launch "most favored nations drug pricing.""The principle is simple whatever the lowest price paid for a drug in other developed countries, that is the price that Americans will pay," Trump said at the White House in May upon signing the order. "Some prescription drug and pharmaceutical prices will be reduced almost immediately by 50 to 80 to 90%.""Were going to equalize," Trump said. "Were all going to pay the same. Were going to pay what Europe pays."MAHA CAUCUS MEMBER PLEDGES HEARINGS INTO CORRUPTION OF A PUBLIC HEALTH SECTOR CAPTURED BY BIG PHARMAHowever, Ippolito said Trumps ability to actually lower the cost of drugs will be dependent on the administrations ability to present drug companies with a "credible threat" to pressure them into submission."The administration, realistically, does not have a ton of leverage to force drugmakers to change their behavior," Ippolito said. "I think that's the practical reality."Additionally, Ippolito said Congress has greater authority to establish new laws that would have "profound implications for drug markets." But Trumps views on the issue may not attract support from even members of his own party, he said."Congressional Republicans are generally more hesitant to do bold things on drug pricing, and the administration, the president, seems to have quite different views," Ippolito said. "And so I think he probably looks at Congress and sees some people who may not share his vision on this particular issue."Michael Cannon, director of health policy studies at the Washington-based libertarian-leaning Cato Institute think tank, said the effort amounts to price controls since the executive order isnt limited to government programs it applies to the free market and private sector as well."This is government price controls," Cannon told Fox News Digital Monday. "It is even worse than government price controls, because it is government price controls without Congress' permission."Price control occurs when the government steps in to impose limits on how much one can charge for various goods or services in the free market.While price controls may lower costs for some consumers, they have largely been ineffective in American history. For example, President Richard Nixon implemented price controls in the 1970s in an attempt to fix wages and other costs which backfired and resulted in the gas crisis and other shortages across the country.PRESIDENT TRUMP TAKES ON BIG PHARMA BY SIGNING EXECUTIVE ORDER TO LOWER DRUG PRICESMeanwhile, Cannon said there are plenty of other avenues that could lead to reduced drug prices, including reforms to Medicaid, Medicare and the tax code. But all those options would involve the legislative branch."Those things require Congress, for the most part, and it's hard to get anything through Congress that would reduce wasteful spending in the health sector," Cannon said.The White House sent letters to the following drug companies Thursday, advocating for lower drug prices: AbbVie, Amgen, AstraZeneca, Boehringer Ingelheim, Bristol Myers Squibb, Eli Lilly, EMD Serono, Genentech, Gilead, GSK, Johnson & Johnson, Merck, Novartis, Novo Nordisk, Pfizer, Regeneron and Sanofi.

It's obviously what should happen in cases like this."Ramirez, who sits on the House Committee on Homeland Security, also accused the U.S. of prioritizing "imperialism, militarization, conquest, control, competition in its attempt at domination."On her website, Ramirez, the child of immigrant parents, said her husband is in thecountry illegally and that she is the only congressional lawmaker "in a mixed-status marriage, and fights for the rights of DREAMers like her husband, Boris, and for comprehensive immigration reform."Ramirez defended her comments in a statement released by her office."Honoring my Guatemalan ancestry only strengthens my commitment to America," the statement said. "That is the truth I carry with me always. And it is a truth that many Americans carry with them.""Anyone who denies our claim on this country simply because we dare to honor our diverse heritage and immigrant roots only exposes how fragile and small-minded their own idea of America really is."Fox News Digitals Louis Casiano contributed to this report

A group of six criminal illegal aliens have been arrested by ICE in Houston after having collectively illegally entered the country a staggering 42 times.The six criminal aliens were finally arrested by ICE in the final days of July after two decades' worth of illegal reentries and after racking up an equally astounding 48 criminal convictions, according to a statement released on Tuesday.Criminal convictions among the group include cocaine trafficking, grand theft auto, assault, domestic violence and multiple DWIs. One of the illegals is a documented member of a cartel-connected gang.According to ICE, one illegal, Oscar Moran Valle, a 43-year-old Mexican national and documented Paisas gang member, illegally entered the U.S. 12 times. He has been convicted of 11 criminal offenses, including three convictions for illegal entry, two for DWI, and one each for drug possession, larceny, giving a false ID to law enforcement, illegal reentry and driving without a license. He was arrested by ICE on July 29.ICE LODGES DETAINER AGAINST ILLEGAL MIGRANT CHARGED WITH KIDNAPPING, SEXUALLY ASSAULTING NEIGHBOR IN TEXASAnother, Alex Salomon Reyes-Chavez, a 46-year-old from Honduras, illegally entered the U.S. five times.
