WWW.FOXNEWS.COMChicago pastor blasts Democrats for outright lying about crime, urges Trump to send National GuardA Chicago pastor is pushing back against claims that the citys crime crisis is improving, calling on President Donald Trump to step in before the violence escalates.Pastor Corey Brooks, who leads Project H.O.O.D., a violence prevention group on the citys South Side, said Wednesday the community has already seen 254 deaths in 233 days, with 80% of those victims being Black boys.Updated figures from the citys official crime dashboard now show 266 homicides this year, averaging more than one a day."For anyone in our community to say that things are getting better and that people are safe, that is an outright lie," Brooks told "Fox & Friends."CHICAGO'S 'ROOFTOP PASTOR' TO EMBARK ON EPIC CROSS-COUNTRY JOURNEY TO BENEFIT AMERICA'S TROUBLED YOUTHThe pastor is urging Trump to deploy the National Guard to Chicago, pointing to the administrations recent crime crackdown in Washington, D.C. The National Guards presence in the capital coincided with a 12-day stretch of no homicides, a streak that ended Tuesday.Brooks argues that Illinois leaders are blocking similar action in Chicago for political purposes."One of the number-one priorities of government is to make sure that the citizens of America stay safe. And that should be the number-one priority of the governor and the mayor, but it's not," he said.BLUE CITY RESIDENTS PLEAD FOR TRUMPS HELP AS OUT OF CONTROL CRIME LEADS TO ANOTHER BLOODY WEEKEND"The only thing that they're really concerned [with] when it comes to Black lives that matter, is Black lives matter that vote."Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker, both Democrats, have both rejected Trump's offer of federal intervention."We are being targeted because of what and who we represent," Johnson said during a press conference Monday.Pritzker warned the Trump administration, saying: "Mr. President, do not come to Chicago."Trump, however, said Tuesday he is prepared to intervene.LIZ PEEK: TRUMP PRANKS DEMOCRATS INTO OPPOSING SOMETHING THEY'VE ALWAYS CLAIMED TO SUPPORT"I'm willing to go to Chicago," said Trump, who argued local leaders refuse to see the bigger picture. "Which is a big trouble, but we have a governor that refuses to admit he has problems."Brooks insists the violence is personal to his community."There's no doubt about it that crime is still a serious problem in the city of Chicago," he said."We still have mothers who are burying young boys, and their sons are dying prematurely. That is a serious issue. And for individuals to make us try to feel as if we're witnessing things getting better, that's not right."Brooks acknowledged that sending in the National Guard would only be a temporary fix but said it could provide a much-needed break in the cycle of violence."I realize that the National Guard is a temporary fix, but it will calm things down," Brooks said. "It's up to organizations like ours to continue to do the solutions and bring the help that we need."He added that silence is no longer an option."We have to speak out. We have to say something. We have let the world know that this is an issue in Chicago," he said. "And we can't let the mayor nor the governor dictate how that is said."CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP0 Commentarii 0 Distribuiri 25 Views 0 previzualizare

WWW.FOXNEWS.COMMystery surrounds Bears rookie as team announces season-long absence due to 'personal' reasonThe Chicago Bears announced on Tuesday that rookie cornerback Zah Frazier will miss the entire season due to a "personal" reason that has kept him from participating in the team's entire offseason program.Frazier was a fifth-round pick out of UTSA, but was only able to take the practice field during rookie minicamp due to what general manager Ryan Poles said happened "before he got here."He was placed on the non-football injury list. Poles called a "complicated deal."CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM"He had a situation that presented itself in a category that I would say (is) personal," Poles told reporters. "As we dug into it, tried to help him out, it revealed itself as something that happened before he got here. So, credit to our staff finding the root cause of what he was going through."So, hell be down for the year but hell spend time going to meetings, in the weight room and the medical staff preparing for next season to get ready to play."DEION SANDERS 'PRAYING' SHILO SANDERS RECEIVES ANOTHER NFL SHOT"Kind of a bummer on the front end," Poles added. "But I think because of everyones hard work and care here we got him on the right path."Frazier has impressive intangibles, running a 4.36 40-yard dash with a nearly 6'3" frame at the NFL Combine. His six interceptions in his final college season were a school record after he struggled to stay on the field in the previous two seasons.He was named to the All-AAC First-Team and even spent two seasons playing at a community college in Kansas.Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X,and subscribe tothe Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.0 Commentarii 0 Distribuiri 25 Views 0 previzualizare

WWW.FOXNEWS.COMWhite House demands all Gaza hostages return home 'this week' amid stalled talksWhite House special envoy Steve Witkoff said he is pushing for all hostages held in the Gaza Strip to be returned this week, though negotiations with Hamas still appear to be at an impasse."We adamantly want, and I'm following the president's direction here when I say this, all of those hostages home this week," Witkoff told Fox News Bret Baier on "Special Report" Tuesday night."Theres been a deal on the table for the last six or seven weeks that would have released 10 of the hostages out of the 20 who we think are alive," he said, noting that he believes Hamas is "100%" to blame for the hold-up."It was Hamas who slow played that process, and it is Hamas now who is saying we accept that deal," Witkoff added.NETANYAHU ANNOUNCES INVESTIGATION INTO 'TRAGIC MISHAP' AFTER REPORTS OF JOURNALISTS KILLED IN GAZA STRIKEWitkoff did not go into detail on what specifically is holding up the return of the hostages who have been held captive in the Gaza Strip for nearly two years following the Oct. 7, 2023, attack on Israel.But reports on Tuesday suggested the Israeli security cabinet refused to review a deal that would see the partial release of hostages and Witkoff confirmed the "official position" of Jerusalem is a full return of hostages or no ceasefire deal as it pushes forward with its plans to take Gaza City.In a statement to Fox News Digital on Wednesday, the Hostages and Missing Families Forum, a group that represents the families of the hostages, said it is "hopeful that with this deal on the table, we will finally see our loved ones return.""Time is running out, and we know that only by finalizing this deal can we bring all 50 hostages home those who are alive to begin their healing journey, and those who were tragically lost to receive a dignified burial," it added. "We have no time left lets make this deal happen now."But the forum also issued a public statement on Tuesday after reports said Israel refused to review a partial return deal, and said, "It is deeply disappointing that on the very day when masses of Israelis take to the streets demanding the return of all hostages and an end to the war, the government continues to delay progress on the agreement, contrary to the people's will."ISRAEL SET TO LAUNCH GAZA CITY OFFENSIVE: HIGH STAKES, HIGH COSTS AHEADA demonstration of some 350,000 people took place in Israels Hostage Square in Tel Aviv on Tuesday night, according to the Forum, just days after another massive protest took to the streets of Tel Aviv, in which the families of the hostages and supporters again called on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to reach a deal with Hamas.Witkoff argued that there can be negotiations after the hostages are returned for "what next day looks like in Gaza after this is all done and what the definition of Hamas is" suggesting these issues remain major hurdles as Israel has repeatedly vowed the complete destruction of Hamas.The special envoy said it wasnt his "call" to say whether the terrorist network should be completely destroyed, but noted there was room for negotiations in returning the hostages as Palestinian prisoners would also be swapped in exchange.Fifty hostages continue to be held by Hamas, only 20 of whom are assessed to still be alive.President Donald Trump on Monday predicted there would be a "conclusive" end to the war in Gaza within the next "two to three weeks," though he did not say how this would be accomplished.The Forum responded to the pronouncement and said, "We pray this is true and that you gave a deadline to end our suffering. You have committed directly to releasedhostages that you will bring all of thehostages home now is the time to make that happen."CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPWitkoff also said Trump would be hosting a meeting at the White House on Wednesday to discuss a "day after" plan for Gaza, though it is unclear who will take part in this meeting.When pressed for details on the meeting, a White House official told Fox News Digital, "President Trump has been clear that he wants the war to end, and he wants peace and prosperity for everyone in the region. The White House has nothing additional to share on the meeting at this time."0 Commentarii 0 Distribuiri 41 Views 0 previzualizare

WWW.FOXNEWS.COMTrump, House GOP allies eye pathways to extend White House crime crackdown in DCPresident Donald Trump and his allies in Congress are working to solidify his grip on Washington, D.C.A leadership aide told Fox News Digital on Tuesday that House Republicans are working with the White House on a package of bills "to fix the many problems with D.C. governance and crime."Trump all but confirmed the effort in a late-night Truth Social post at midnight on Wednesday stating that House and Senate leaders "are working with me, and other Republicans, on a Comprehensive Crime Bill.""Its what our country needs, and NOW! More to follow," Trump posted.GOP LAWMAKERS CLASH OVER STRATEGY TO AVERT GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN CRISISMeanwhile, House GOP Trump allies have been working on various measures to extend the presidents grip on D.C.s police, which another source told Fox News Digital the White House was keeping track of.Under The District of Columbia Home Rule Act of 1973, which, among other measures, established a local government for the nations capital, the president is allowed to federalize D.C.s police force for a period of 48 hours, though it can extend to 30 days with notification to the relevant congressional committees.Any longer period must be authorized via a resolution passed in the House and Senate several of which have already been offered while lawmakers are back on their home turfs for the annual August recess.The act does not limit how long Trump can deploy federal forces into the capital for, however which he has also done.Rep. Andy Ogles, R-Tenn., was first to announce he was working on a bill "to amend the D.C. Home Rule Act, so the president can extend this emergency as long as it takes, until our Capitol is taken back, and its streets are safe" on Aug. 13.He told Fox News Digital on Tuesday that House GOP leadership seemed positive about his bill."I sent it to [House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, R-La.] after we drafted it," Ogles said. "He liked the proposal, so when we get back, we'll sort through the various ideas and approaches and see which one is best. Obviously, I'll advocate for mine, butwhatever keeps the people safe."Ogles pointed out that his bill, while getting rid of the 30-day limit, also requires the White House to notify Congress every 30 days about the basis for continuing federalization of D.C.s police because "we still have a Constitution that we need to abide by."Scalises office did not address Ogles bill when reached by Fox News Digital.Others, like Reps. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., and Andy Biggs, R-Ariz., have introduced similar bills."I think that there's plenty of support for my bill, or a version of it," Luna told Fox News Digital. "The fact is, is that, you know, we do have home rule. It's well within our right and authority. And frankly, we're doing it not just for us, but also for the actual civilians in the Washington, D.C., area."Lunas bill, like Ogles, would extend Trumps ability to federalize D.C. police for as long a period as the president deems necessary.GOP GOVERNOR NOMINEE PUSHES REDISTRICTING TO OUST STATE'S LONE HOUSE DEMBiggs bill would extend Trumps hold on D.C. police for a period of six months.Because D.C. is a federal district, and not a state, Congress and the federal government are able to exercise significant amounts of control over various aspects of how its run.The White House and Trump allies have touted a significant decrease in homicides in D.C. since Trump took over policing in the city, while signaling that other U.S. cities could soon see federal government intervention to deal with crime as well.Opponents of the move, largely Democrats, have accused the Trump administration of ripping autonomy away from those who live in the nations capital.A White House official told Fox News Digital when asked for more information, "Efforts to address some of the underlying causes of the DC crime problem will be a topic of sustained focus for the administration, as well as other issues, such as maintenance, transportation and beautification.""That includes working with all levels of government, executive branch, legislative branch, and Washington, DC, to ensure that the capital city of the greatest nation on earth is the envy of the world," the official said.0 Commentarii 0 Distribuiri 47 Views 0 previzualizare

WWW.FOXNEWS.COMFederal judge blocks Abrego Garcia deportation, extending court fightA federal judge in Maryland issued a court order Wednesday blocking the Trump administration from deporting Kilmar Abrego Garcia from the U.S. until at least October, setting the stage for further court clashes with the government after he was taken into Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody earlier this week.U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis on Wednesday extended a temporary restraining order she issued earlier this week, which requires Abrego Garcia to be kept in the continental U.S. and within 200 miles of the court in Greenbelt, Maryland until she can consider the emergency motion filed by his attorneys at an evidentiary hearing.She also set October 6 as the date for the hearing to take place, which both parties agreed to, and said she would rule on the emergency request in the 30 days after.The update from Xinis keeps Abrego Garcia in the U.S. for at least five more weeks, blocking the Trump administration, for now, from deporting him to a third country such as Uganda.ABREGO GARCIA TO APPEAR AT ICE OFFICE IN BALTIMORE AMID TALK OF UGANDA DEPORTATIONIt comes after his lawyers on Monday filed an emergency habeas request to keep Abrego Garcia in the U.S. for now until his immigration case can play out via the proper channels, ensuring due process protections including the right to a reasonable fear interview before being removed to a third country.ICE officials notified Abrego Garcia's attorneys late last week that they planned to arrest him this week and deport him as early as Wednesday to Uganda. The East African nation reached an agreement with the U.S. earlier this month to accept certain deported migrants, though details of the arrangement were not immediately clear.Justice Department attorney Drew Ensign told Judge Xinis on Wednesday that the Trump administration objected to the court extending the temporary restraining order, though he confirmed in response to her questions that they would voluntarily comply. "Your clients are absolutely forbidden at this juncture to remove Mr. Abrego Garcia from the continental United States," Xinis had stressed to Ensign on Monday, in issuing the now-extended emergency order.ABREGO GARCIA REMAINS IN US FOR NOW AS JUDGE TAKES CASE UNDER ADVISEMENTAlso on Wednesday, Abrego Garcia's lawyers told Xinis that they had filed an emergency motion to reopen his immigration case to seek asylum.That request is outside Xinis' jurisdiction, and was filed Tuesday in an immigration court in Baltimore.Xinis had previously cited concerns over the lack of a known proffer from Uganda detailing what protections or freedoms Abreo Garcia would have in Uganda, compared to information provided by Costa Rica's government, which had provided written assurances that Abrego Garcia would live freely in the country and not be refouled, or re-deported, to El Salvador.Justice Department officials had offered Abrego Garcia the option of being removed to Costa Rica last week, as part of a plea deal in exchange for securing his guilty plea on criminal charges related to human smuggling in Tennessee. He declined.0 Commentarii 0 Distribuiri 20 Views 0 previzualizare

WWW.FOXNEWS.COM'Weapons of war': Dem lawmakers call for gun control after Minneapolis school shootingDemocratic lawmakers, including the two top congressional Democrats, are calling for gun control in the wake of a deadly shooting at a Minneapolis school on Wednesday."Im horrified by the shooting at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis and closely monitoring the situation. Im thankful for the first responders on the scene," Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., wrote on X. "Students and teachers should not be putting their lives on the line just by going back to school. We must do more to stop gun violence in America."SHOOTING CONFIRMED AT MINNEAPOLIS CATHOLIC SCHOOL, SHOOTER DEADHouse Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., called the shooting "horrifying.""Praying for the children, families and first responders during this moment of terror and unimaginable grief," Jeffries said. "Weapons of war have no place in our neighborhoods, streets or schools."Along similar lines, Rep. Shri Thanedar, D-Mich., wrote on social media that he was "horrified" by the shooting, followed by a call for stricter firearm legislation in the U.S."Events like these should not be our normal. The simple solution is to pass sensible gun control. Without that, these tragedies will continue to happen, and children will continue to die," Thanedar wrote.MINNESOTA LAWMAKER SHOOTINGS PROMPT SECURITY DEBATE IN HOUSE AND SENATEThe Richfield Police Department said that as many as 20 people were victims of the shooting. Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara told reporters during a press conference that two children, ages 8 and 10, were killed in the shooting. He said their parents were notified of the tragic news.The Minneapolis Police Department shared a message from the city of Minneapolis confirming "there is no active threat to the community at this time," and "the shooter is contained." Sources told Fox 9 that the suspect who has not been publicly identified is deceased.AFTER MINNESOTA KILLINGS, CAPITOL HILL REPRESENTATIVES FACE STARK REALITY ABOUT FAMILY SAFETYMeanwhile, Minnesota lawmakers on both sides of the aisle offered prayers for the victims and their families.House Majority Whip Tom Emmer, R-Minn., the highest-ranking Minnesotan in Congress, said in a statement, "We are tracking the reports about a shooting at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis. Our prayers are with the victims, their families, and first responders on the scene."Minnesotas Democratic Sens. Tina Smith and Amy Klobuchar similarly thanked law enforcement and first responders but made no mention of an effort to push for gun control."Its the first week of school," Smith said on X. "These kids should not be fearing for their lives."However, Klobuchar later said during an interview with CNN that in other mass shootings, families, communities and the country have to "grapple with the fact that we have too many guns out there rightnow.""We've done these things, but there's much bigger things we could do when it comes to background checks and assault weapons, and having more national standards in place, and being stricter about getting these guns out there," she said. "And if a bunch of kids praying in a church and shot down through the windows of that church and locked into that by a mad man, isn't enough to make people move, I just don't know what is."0 Commentarii 0 Distribuiri 25 Views 0 previzualizare

WWW.FOXNEWS.COMTeam USA captain Keegan Bradley makes decision on playing status for Ryder Cup, locks in picks for BethpageKeegan Bradley opted not to select himself as a playing captain for Team USA in the Ryder Cup next month.Instead, the 39-year-old went with Justin Thomas, Collin Morikawa, Ben Griffin, Cameron Young, Patrick Cantlay, and Sam Burns as his captain's picks.Rory Mcilroy said earlier this month that he felt it would be too difficult to be a playing captain, saying that he turned down the idea for the future.

I care about our team. Not quite sure how he would know. I said through this process I wish I could call Arnold Palmer and get his advice. The simple fact is the Ryder Cup is a different animal than it was in the 60s I said through this process I was going to do what was best for the team, and this was the decision I thought was best."Bradley participated in both the 2012 and 2014 Ryder Cups (both of which were losses). In 2023, he was the 11th-ranked U.S. golfer (12 players make the team), but Sam Burns, Rickie Fowler and Justin Thomas were chosen over him (Cameron Young was also skipped over despite ranking ninth).TOMMY FLEETWOOD WINS TOUR CHAMPIONSHIP FOR 1ST PGA VICTORY AND $10M PRIZE AT EAST LAKEBut in July of last year, it was announced that Bradley would take Zach Johnsons spot as the Team USA captain.Chatter of being a playing captain got loud after Bradley won the Travelers Championship, a tournament he won in 2023, in insanely clutch fashion.
