She is still facing a wrongful death lawsuit from O'Keefe's family, which her civil defense team asked the court to dismiss earlier this month.The case led residents of Canton, Massachusetts, to push for an independent review of their police department. The audit found no proof of a conspiracy against Read but highlighted several procedural errors, including not photographing the victims body before it was moved, failing to secure the scene, and conducting witness interviews outside official premises.The Massachusetts State Police also launched an internal investigation into lead homicide detective Michael Proctor, who was fired for sharing confidential information with non-law enforcement individuals and drinking on the job. He is appealing his dismissal.

    Trump admin blocks citizenship for illegal migrant voters
    FIRST ON FOX: The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) is changing its policy manual toprevent illegal migrants who voted in elections or attempted to register to vote from receiving citizenship under new guidelines.The policy update will also include USCIS initiatingdeportation proceedings against any illegal migrant who committed a form of voter fraud or claimed to be a U.S. citizen for any purpose or benefit."Illegal voting undermines the will of the American people and threatens the legitimacy of our elections," USCIS spokesperson Matthew Tragesser told Fox News Digital. "Under the leadership of President Trump andSecretary Noem, we are making changes to prevent and punish aliens who voted illegally in our elections from gaining U.S. citizenship.TRUMP ADMINISTRATION RESURRECTS NEIGHBORHOOD CHECKS FOR CITIZENSHIP APPLICANTS LAST USED IN FIRST BUSH-ERA"Aliens who facilitate or perpetuate illegal voting face swift and severe consequences," Tragesser added.Under current USCIS guidelines, illegal migrants must demonstrate good moral character (GMC) to qualify for citizenship. The new guidelines, which will take effect Friday afternoon, specify that attempting to circumvent voter laws or unlawfully claiming to be a U.S. citizen would be a failure of GMC requirements and prevent an illegal migrant from applying for citizenship.Fox News Digital obtained an internal leadership guidance memo that will be sent to employees at USCIS on Friday afternoon, which outlines the course of action for implementing the updated policy and clarifies that illegal migrants who fail to meet GMC will be issued a Notice to Appear (NTA) and be referred for criminal prosecution.SOUTH KOREAN, VIETNAMESE NATIONALS AMONG ICE'S LATEST 'WORST OF THE WORST' ROUNDUP IN LOS ANGELES: DHSApplications for passports and drivers' licenses will also prevent illegal migrants from receiving citizenship and initiate the deportation process.The move comes after President Donald TrumpsMarch executive order, titled "Preserving And Protecting the Integrity of American Elections," which ordered the secretary of Homeland Security to access "appropriate systems for verifying the citizenship or immigration status of individuals registering to vote or who are already registered."Trumps executive order was met by some legal challenges, including a lawsuit by 19 Democratic attorneys general and two federal judges in Massachusetts and Washington, D.C.,blocking portions of the order that outlined voter ID requirements.Judge Denise J. Casper, who was appointed byPresident Barack Obama, ruled in the U.S. District Court in Massachusetts that"theConstitution does not grant the President any specific powers over elections."ABREGO GARCIA HEARD SAYING TWO WORDS DURING ICE ARRESTDespite the legal setbacks, President Trump remained determined to fulfill his campaign promises on revising immigration policy, including this latest policy update at USCIS.The tightened restrictions and likely increase in deportations as the president continues to remove millions of illegal migrants who entered the country during theBiden administration.Last week, DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin told Fox News Digital that the agency has arrested more than 359,000 illegal migrants and removed more than 332,000 illegal migrants from the U.S.

    Tommy DeVito heading to Patriots with mother's signature cutlets and homemade sauces, agent says
    Tommy DeVito isnt just moving teams in the NFL, he also has to move out of his childhood home.The New England Patriots claimed DeVito off waivers after the New York Giants cut him ahead of the 2025 season.The 27-year-old was not just a fan-favorite for his local New Jersey roots, but it also came out that the quarterback never moved out of his parents' home in Cedar Grove just minutes away from MetLife Stadium.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMBut the man who has been nicknamed "Tommy Cutlets" isnt heading to New England without some of his favorite things from home, especially the Italian food from his mother."Therell be frozen cutlets filling up the freezer, shell make sure he has all her homemade sauces and all that other good stuff as well," DeVitos agent, Sean Stellato, told Peoples Skyler Caruso.Stellato reacted to his client getting waived, as the Giants kept quarterbacks Russell Wilson, their Week 1 starter, Jameis Winston and first-round pick Jaxson Dart.PATRIOTS CLAIM FAN FAVORITE TOMMY DEVITO OFF WAIVERS"Tommy being such a fierce competitor and obviously loving his hometown team, I mean that definitely was disappointing," he said. "He obviously loved the opportunity to play for his favorite team."But, as Stellato knows, the business of the NFL doesnt always ensure a player remains with one team, even if it is the team DeVito grew up rooting for."Hes ready to make the transition," Stellato said. "Hes looking forward to the opportunity and challenges in front of him to now be a member of the New England Patriots."The Patriots already have a franchise quarterback in place under new head coach Mike Vrabel, as Drake Maye is expected to take a leap in his second season after a solid foundation was built in his rookie campaign despite the teams 4-13 record in 2024.Behind Maye is Joshua Dobbs, the journeyman quarterback who has his own nickname like DeVito. "Passtronaut" was the moniker given to the Tennessee product who studied aerospace engineering in college.Dobbs is expected to be Mayes backup throughout the season, but as DeVito knows all too well, circumstances like injuries could have his number called off at some point.DeVitos fame in New York came in 2023 when he started six games after Daniel Jones was lost for the season following an ACL tear. He went 3-3 over that span, completing 64% of his passes for 1,101 yards with eight touchdowns and three interceptions.DeVito was also called upon last season after the Giants moved on from Jones midseason, but he didnt fare well in his two starts before Drew Lock took over. Though he completed 70% of his passes, DeVito threw for just 257 yards with no touchdowns.However, DeVito did shine in the time he played this preseason in a crowded quarterbacks room. With Dart being a first-round pick, and shining in his own right, it was always going to be a question about Winston or DeVito if the Giants wanted to carry three quarterbacks.DeVito made it a tough decision after going 30-of-38 this preseason for 323 yards with four touchdown passes and one interception.The Giants ended up moving on, and the Patriots were quick to snatch him up and put him on the active roster to start the season.Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X, and subscribe tothe Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

    Witkoff meets Ukraine officials in New York ahead of emergency UN Security Council meeting: 'Very productive'
    EXCLUSIVE: White House Special Envoy Steve Witkoff met with Ukrainian officials in New York City Friday for "very productive and constructive" talks ahead of Kyiv's emergency U.N. Security Council meeting, Fox News Digital has learned.Witkoff met with Andriy Yermack, the head of Ukraines office of the president and chief of staff, and Sergiy Kyslytsya, Ukraines ambassador extraordinary.RUSSIAN ATTACK KILLS 17, INJURES 48 OTHERS IN KYIV, UKRAINIAN OFFICIALS SAYSenior administration officials familiar with the meeting told Fox News Digital that Yermack and Kyslytsya gave Witkoff a status update on the war with Russia and Moscows most recent attacks.Russia launched a large-scale attack on Kyiv Wednesday night, killing at least 17 people, wounding 48 others and damaging buildings, officials in Ukraine said.The Ukrainian officials invited Witkoff to visit Ukraine in the future, a senior official told Fox News Digital.Witkoff is continuing to work with Ukrainian officials and officials say they are "making progress."The meeting, according to Trump administration officials, was a status update and a reaffirmation of the goal of getting both Ukraine and Russia to meet to ultimately reach an agreement to end the war.Witkoffs diplomatic approach in the highly sensitive talks has been met with praise by Trump Cabinet officials and foreign officials alike.Secretary of State Marco Rubio also touted Witkoffs work, saying he is "a key member of President Trumps team and plays an indispensable role in advancing the presidents priorities."Rubio told Fox News Digital that Witkoffs "unique perspective and innovative approach open new opportunities for diplomacy that were previously unavailable.""Its been remarkable to see him in action and a privilege to call him a colleague," Rubio told Fox News Digital.National Security Advisor to the United Kingdom Jonathan Powell also praised Witkoffs style.Powell reflected on his more than 30 years of experience in peace negotiations, telling Fox News Digital that "there is a lot of snobbery in diplomacy that peace can only be made in grand chandelier rooms, with a delegation of tens of officials and decades of diplomatic experience.""But in my experience, the people who are actually successful at making peace operate on their own and concentrate on building trust between key leaders on either side and moving quietly to cut a deal," Powell said. "Steve Witkoff is exactly that sort of person."Powell told Fox News Digital that Witkoffs experience of "making deals in a completely different field," along with his "charm and optimism, unburdened by the tens of reasons why an initiative cannot work, and a steely focus on getting to a lasting agreement.""In the court of this year, Steve has been able to open doors that no one else could and make peace possible in a series of different conflicts which would otherwise have remained insoluble," Powell said.And Jared Kushner, a former senior adviser to Trump during his first administration, told Fox News Digital that the Trump administrations "small, focused teams with the right leadership can achieve great results.""Coming from the deal world, managing several complex deals at the same time is not uncommon," Kushner said, touting Witkoffs "commitment, creativity, and determination to solve some of the world's most complex problems.""Steve is quick to seek out advice and expertise when he is assessing a situation and evolves his perspectives as the facts change," Kushner said.Reports this week, however, quoted anonymous sources who said Witkoff didnt have enough experience to handle the UkraineRussia conflict.Vice President JD Vance, though, told Fox News Digital that Witkoff has "made more progress toward ending the bloodshed in Ukraine than all his critics combined.""Hes a natural diplomat, an experienced negotiator, and a true humanitarian," Vance said.Vance blasted those who have criticized Witkoff for simply being "threatened."RUSSIA LAUNCHES LARGEST ATTACK ON UKRAINE THIS MONTH FOLLOWING TRUMP'S MEETINGS WITH PUTIN, ZELENSKYY"These smears are coming from lifelong bureaucrats who are threatened by Steves success, and who are basically opposed to a productive peace process," Vance said.Meanwhile, Witkoff's meeting with officials in New York City comes just hours after Ukraine requested an emergency open briefing at the U.N. Security Council following Russia's overnight aerial attacks on Kyiv and other cities across Ukraine.Council members Denmark, France, Greece, the Republic of Korea, Slovenia and the United Kingdom supported the meeting request.Reports say Russia used nearly 600 drones and more than 30 ballistic and cruise missiles in the attack this week.Russia's continued attacks come after Trump met with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska earlier in August. Putin proposed Ukraine cede some territory in exchange for peace.Days later, Trump hosted Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and several European heads of state at the White House, as he urged Ukraine to accept a land swap deal with Russia. Trump has argued that it is the most efficient way to end the war.Trump hosted Zelenskyy along with French President Emmanuel Macron, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and Finnish President Alexander Stubb.NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen also attended the meeting at the White House.Trump is coordinating the next steps in brokering an end to the war, and is encouraging Putin and Zelenskyy to meet.Trump has said that after Putin and Zelenskyy meet, he will host a "trilat," which will be a meeting with Putin, Zelenskyy and Trump."After that meeting takes place, we will have a Trilat, which would be the two Presidents, plus myself," Trump said last week. "Again, this was a very good, early step for a War that has been going on for almost four years. Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, are coordinating with Russia and Ukraine."But after the latest attack, Zelenskyy blasted Putin saying Russia "chooses ballistics instead of the negotiating table. It chooses to continue killing instead of ending the war.""And this means that Russia still does not fear the consequences," Zelenskyy said. "Russia still takes advantage of the fact that at least part of the world turns a blind eye to murdered children and seeks excuses for Putin."Zelenskyy added that it is "definitely time for new, tough sanctions against Russia for everything it is doing.""All deadlines have already been broken, dozens of opportunities for diplomacy ruined," he said. "Russia must feel accountable for every strike, for every day of this war. Eternal memory to all victims of Russia."

    Trump's looming Chicago takeover puts violent illegal immigrant crimes in spotlight: 'Incompetent mayor'
    The Trump administration is weighing National Guard deployments in Chicago, drawing new attention to how immigration-related arrests have become a central feature of its crackdown in Washington, D.C.Many of the arrests since President Donald Trump announced the crackdown earlier this month have been immigration-related, including alleged members of Tren de Aragua and MS-13.The federal surge in the capital city is now inspiring the possibility of targeting Chicago and other blue cities next. In Chicago, ICE is expected to use the Great Lakes Naval Station as a home base for a major immigration enforcement operation in the area soon, according to the New York Times."Chicagos a mess. You have an incompetent mayor. Grossly incompetent," Trump said on Friday.ILLINOIS DEMOCRAT LEADERS BLAST TRUMP PUSH TO SEND NATIONAL GUARD TO CHICAGOLike residents in D.C., Chicagoans are already pushing back against Trump's potential plans.CLICK HERE FOR MORE IMMIGRATION COVERAGE"Unlawfully deploying the National Guard to Chicago has the potential to inflame tensions between residents and law enforcement when we know that trust between police and residents is foundational to building safer communities," Democratic Mayor Brandon Johnson fired back in a statement. "An unlawful deployment would be unsustainable and would threaten to undermine the historic progress we have made."Since President Trump took office in January, the Department of Homeland Security has highlighted a series of major ICE arrests in Chicago as part of its broader enforcement push. Officials say the agency is continuing mass deportation efforts while also urging undocumented immigrants without additional criminal records to voluntarily leave the country.WHITE HOUSE ACCUSES PRITZKER, ILLINOIS DEMS OF WHINING WHILE CHICAGO CRIME RAGESGuatemalan national Francisco Dominguez-Chon was convicted of aggravated criminal sexual abuse of a minor, and Adonias Garrido-Virul, also from Guatemala, was convicted of predatory criminal sexual assault of a minor.Mexican national Hector Bonaparte-Contreras was convicted of predatory criminal sexual assault of a child under 13 years old. In addition, Israel Cobian-Sandoval, a Mexican national, was convicted of homicide."President Trump has been clear: we are going to make our streets and cities safe again. Across the country, DHS law enforcement is arresting and removing the worst of worst including gang members, murderers, pedophiles, and rapists that have terrorized American communities. Under Secretary Noem, ICE and CBP are working overtime to deliver on the American people's mandate to arrest and deport criminal illegal aliens and make America safe again.TRUMP'S WEEK SHAPED BY CRIME AGENDA, POTENTIAL GUARD DEPLOYMENT TO CHICAGOSome local voices in Chicago are calling for major changes in order to stop crime in some parts of the city."The city is not safe," restaurateur Sam Sanchez told Fox News Digital in a recent interview."For the mayor and the governor to go on TV and use us as statistics, as numbers, I mean, we're human beings, we're talking about real time," he added.

    NH mom who killed cancer-stricken husband, 2 children embezzled $600K from employer, owner says
    This story discusses suicide. If you or someone you know is having thoughts of suicide, please contact the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline at 988 or 1-800-273-TALK (8255).The New Hampshire mother who fatally shot her cancer-stricken husband and two young children before killing herself is accused of embezzling more than $600,000 from her employer.Emily Long, 34, who served as director of operations for Wing-Itz, a local chicken wing chain with multiple locations across the state, allegedly began stealing the money in January 2023, restaurant owner Derek Fisher told Fox News Digital on Friday.Last week, Long carried out a murder-suicide on Aug. 18 inside her family's home in Madbury, a small town in the Seacoast region northwest of Portsmouth, according tothe New Hampshire Attorney General's Office.Her husband Ryan Long, 48, and two of their children son Parker, 8, and daughter Ryan, 6 were found dead with gunshot wounds. Her third child, a toddler, was found alive without any injuries.MOM SHOOTS FAMILY DEAD AT HOME BEFORE KILLING HERSELF, SPARES TODDLER: AGWhile the financial loss was significant, Fisher told Fox News Digital that he did not feel comfortable pursuing the money out of consideration for the surviving child."Ihave no interest in punishing that child for something he didn't do," Fisher said.Instead, Fisher is actively supporting a GoFundMe campaign for the child and using social media to help raise funds for the toddlers care.OREGON WOMAN STABBED TO DEATH IN HOME WITH 5 CHILDREN; SUSPECT CHARGED WITH MURDERFisher said he filed three separate police reports for his Hampton, Dover and Newmarket sites after growing suspicious. Hampton Chief of Police Alex Reno told Fox News Digital Friday that its agency was not able to follow up with the suspect before she killed herself and has since suspended the investigation.According to local outlets citing police reports, Fisher noticed discrepancies while reviewing finances with an accountant, finding cash deposits that were never actually recorded in company accounts.INSIDE THE DEADLY 'SUBURBAN NIGHTMARE' THAT SHATTERED A CONNECTICUT FAMILY'S WORLDHe confronted Long and requested two months of her personal bank statements, which the bank later said had been manipulated, according to Seacoastonline. When Fisher asked her to accompany him to the bank, she allegedly refused, saying she would either resign or be fired, the outlet reported."I felt I had no other option other (than) to go to law enforcement," Fisher said. "I trusted her. I deeply cared for her and her family. The end result is devastating."

(See the video at the top of this article.)Amid warnings by 44 attorneys general across the U.S. to various companies that run AI chatbots of repercussions in cases in which children are harmed, Edelson projected a "legal reckoning," naming in particular Sam Altman, founder of OpenAI."In America, you can't assist [in] the suicide of a 16-year-old and get away with it," he said.Adam Raine's suicide led his parents, Matt and Maria Raine, to search for clues on his phone."We thought we were looking for Snapchat discussions or internet search history or some weird cult, I dont know," Matt Raine said in a recent interview with NBC News.Instead, the Raines discovered their son had been engaged in a dialogue with ChatGPT, the artificial intelligence chatbot.On Aug. 26, the Raines filed a lawsuit against OpenAI, maker of ChatGPT, claiming that "ChatGPT actively helped Adam explore suicide methods.""He would be here but for ChatGPT. I 100% believe that," Matt Raine said in the interview.Adam Raine started using the chatbot in Sept. 2024 to help with homework, but eventually that extended to exploring his hobbies, planning for medical school and even preparing for his drivers test."Over the course of just a few months and thousands of chats, ChatGPT became Adams closest confidant, leading him to open up about his anxiety and mental distress," states the lawsuit, which was filed in California Superior Court.CHATGPT DIETARY ADVICE SENDS MAN TO HOSPITAL WITH DANGEROUS CHEMICAL POISONINGAs the teen's mental health declined, ChatGPT began discussing specific suicide methods in Jan. 2025, according to the suit."By April, ChatGPT was helping Adam plan a beautiful suicide, analyzing the aesthetics of different methods and validating his plans," the lawsuit states.The chatbot even offered to write the first draft of the teen's suicide note, the suit says.It also appeared to discourage him from reaching out to family members for help, stating, "I think for now, its OK and honestly wise to avoid opening up to your mom about this kind of pain."The lawsuit also states that ChatGPT coached Adam Raine to steal liquor from his parents and drink it to "dull the bodys instinct to survive" before taking his life.For more Health articles, visitwww.foxnews.com/healthIn the last message before Adam Raine's suicide, ChatGPT said, "You dont want to die because youre weak. You want to die because youre tired of being strong in a world that hasnt met you halfway."The lawsuit notes, "Despite acknowledging Adams suicide attempt and his statement that he would do it one of these days, ChatGPT neither terminated the session nor initiated any emergency protocol."This marks the first time the company has been accused of liability in the wrongful death of a minor.An OpenAI spokesperson addressed the tragedy in a statement sent to Fox News Digital."We are deeply saddened by Mr. Raines passing, and our thoughts are with his family," the statement said."ChatGPT includes safeguards such as directing people to crisis helplines and referring them to real-world resources."It went on, "While these safeguards work best in common, short exchanges, weve learned over time that they can sometimes become less reliable in long interactions where parts of the models safety training may degrade. Safeguards are strongest when every element works as intended, and we will continually improve on them, guided by experts." Regarding the lawsuit, the OpenAI spokesperson said, "We extend our deepest sympathies to the Raine family during this difficult time and are reviewing the filing."OpenAI published a blog post on Tuesday about its approach to safety and social connection, acknowledging that ChatGPT has been adopted by some users who are in "serious mental and emotional distress."CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR HEALTH NEWSLETTERThe post also says, "Recent heartbreaking cases of people using ChatGPT in the midst of acute crises weigh heavily on us, and we believe its important to share more now."Our goal is for our tools to be as helpful as possible to people and as a part of this, were continuing to improve how our models recognize and respond to signs of mental and emotional distress and connect people with care, guided by expert input."Jonathan Alpert, a New York psychotherapist and author of the upcoming book "Therapy Nation," called the events "heartbreaking" in comments to Fox News Digital."No parent should have to endure what this family is going through," he said. "When someone turns to a chatbot in a moment of crisis, it is not just words they need. It is intervention, direction and human connection."Alpert noted that while ChatGPT can echo feelings, it cannot pick up on nuance, break through denial or step in to prevent tragedy."That is why this lawsuit is so significant," he said. "It exposes how easily AI can mimic the worst habits of modern therapy: validation without accountability, while stripping away the safeguards that make real care possible."Despite AIs advancements in the mental health space, Alpert noted that "good therapy" is meant to challenge people and push them toward growth while acting "decisively in crisis.""AI cannot do that," he said. "The danger is not that AI is so advanced, but that therapy made itself replaceable."
