    Police investigate vessel with 11 decomposed bodies washed ashore in Caribbean
    Police have launched an investigation into a vessel that washed ashore on an Eastern Caribbean island that contained human remains of at least 11 people in an advanced state of decomposition.The Royal St. Vincent and the Grenadines Police Force (RSVGPF) said it received a report at about 10:45 a.m. Monday that a suspicious vessel had been discovered along the coastline of the island of Canouan near Little Bay and Cherry Hill.Officers from the Canouan police station responded and discovered the remains of 11 people on the boat.Police said the boat measured 45 feet long, 12 feet wide and 6 feet deep, and it was found grounded in the area.FAMILY OF AMERICAN FOUND DEAD ON BAHAMAS BEACH FEARS EVIDENCE WILL DISAPPEAR, PLEADS FOR HELPThe remains of the people onboard were in what police called an "advanced state of decomposition," and some of the remains were not fully intact.Investigators recovered several passports from the boat, which appear to be from the West African country of the Republic of Mali.While passports have been recovered, police have not officially identified any of the bodies, and the investigation remains ongoing.BAHAMAS OFFICIALS REVEAL AMERICAN MAN'S CAUSE OF DEATH AFTER BODY FOUND ON BEACHThe RSVGPF said it is working closely with regional and international partners to confirm the origins of the boat and the identities of those onboard.The human remains have since been transported to the island of St. Vincent, where they are being held at the Kingstown mortuary for further forensic and investigative procedures."This incident is deeply concerning, and we understand the publics interest in the matter," police said. "We assure you that the RSVGPF is treating this investigation with the utmost seriousness and sensitivity."AMERICAN MAN ON BAHAMAS FAMILY VACATION FOUND DEAD AFTER LEAVING DINNER TO GET JACKET: REPORTThe department added that it is committed to pursuing every lead and ensuring all appropriate protocols are followed.The U.S. State Department issued a Level 4 Do Not Travel advisory for the country of Mali in July 2023.The State Departments reasoning for not traveling to the country is due to crime, terrorism and kidnapping."Violent crime, such as kidnapping and armed robbery, is common in Mali. Violent crime is a particular concern during local holidays and seasonal events in Bamako, its suburbs, and Malis southern regions," the advisory states."Terrorist and armed groups continue plotting kidnappings and attacks in Mali," the advisory on Mali adds. "They may attack with little or no warning, targeting nightclubs, hotels, restaurants, places of worship, international diplomatic missions, and other locations frequented by foreigners. Attacks may target Malian government offices and infrastructure, in addition to locations frequented by Westerners."

    Trump is down but not out in court battle over Harvard's foreign student visas
    A federal judge upheld a court order blocking President Donald Trump from stripping Harvard University of its ability to sponsor international student visas.U.S. District Judge Allison D. Burroughs on Thursday extended her earlier restraining order, which blocks the Trump administration from revoking Harvards certification under the Student and Exchange Visitor Program, or SEVP. That certification allows colleges to sponsor international students for U.S. visas during their enrollment.Burroughs, an Obama appointee, said she would preserve the status quo while both sides confer and submit either a joint proposed preliminary injunction order or individual proposed orders.But the update from the court is not a loss for the Trump administration at least not yet.TRUMP NOMINATES FORMER DEFENSE ATTORNEY EMIL BOVE FOR FEDERAL APPEALS COURT VACANCYAt issue is whether the Trump administration has grounds to revoke Harvard's SEVP certification. Trump officials have accused Harvard University of "fostering violence, antisemitism, and coordinating with the Chinese Communist Party on its campus," according to a statement from DHS Secretary Kristi Noem.Legal experts told Fox News Digital that foreign students have far fewer protections than U.S. citizens, which puts Harvard at the government's mercy as long as the Trump administration satisfies certain procedural requirements.Experts noted that the SEVP program falls squarely under the authority of DHS and ICE, giving the Trump administration broad discretion to certify, extend or revoke a universitys participation based on the conduct of its foreign student visa holders.STATE DEPARTMENT NOW SCRUTINIZING ALL VISA HOLDERS ASSOCIATED WITH HARVARDWhile U.S. citizens have First Amendment protected free speech rights, the same is not true for foreign students studying in the U.S., whose status is sponsored by their university.The intersection "of First Amendment [issues] with immigration law, at least to this extent, has really become a new thing under this administration," Robert Shibley, the special counsel for campus advocacy at the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression, told Fox News Digital."Part of the complication here is that the government does have so much more leeway on foreign policy issues," Shibley said. "However, I think in this case, there's a pretty clear process laid out in the regulations for stripping a school of its ability to get foreign students to attend on visas and simply demanding a certain amount of information from the school and stripping them immediately, which is what they originally said, not the process."Shortly after court adjourned Thursday, the Trump administration gave Harvard 30 days to submit evidence and argue why its SEVP certification should not be revoked. Its unclear whether that alone satisfies procedural requirements under the Administrative Procedure Act.The court must also consider what type of conduct foreign student visa holders are engaged in and whether these student visa holders are "systemically" engaged in serial violations of immigration law or are acting in support of foreign terrorist organizations, alleged foreign terrorist organizations or foreign totalitarian governments."That gives DHS stake to investigate and reevaluate on an off-cycle basis, the SEVP certification and eligibility," said Aram Gavoor, an associate dean at George Washington University Law School and a former Justice Department attorney. In this case, he said, DHS would have "significant authorities to authorize, regulate, certify and, if necessary, decertify, the Student and Exchange Visitor Program."TRUMP ADMIN WORKING TO FLY BACK GUATEMALAN MIGRANT ERRONEOUSLY DEPORTED FROM US"And, in a number of circumstances, the ability of a university to operate its own educational institution with what it teaches and how it teaches that can in certain circumstances come into tension with the authority of the U.S. government to regulate immigration in the context of student exchange visitors," Gavoor added.Lawyers for Harvard told the court that, if enacted, the revocation of its SEVP program would affect roughly 7,000 international students at the school at the undergraduate and post-graduate level, causing irreparable harm. They also claimed the action was a breach of administrative procedure, which requires the administration to grant a certain period of notice before revoking their SEVP credentials."The revocation continues a series of government actions to retaliate against Harvard for our refusal to surrender our academic independence," Harvard University President Alan Garber said Friday in a letter to the Harvard community.In the short term, the uncertainty could lead foreign students in the visa program to flee Harvard, seeking transfers to other universities that are not targeted by the Trump administration, experts told Fox News.Student visa holders are given roughly 180 days after their status is revoked to leave the country or risk violating the law, making the case of utmost importance for thousands of students.Legal experts noted the court is wading into largely uncharted territory. Asked how it might play out, many scholars pointed to a lack of precedent and offered no clear answer."As with many things that Trump does, the answer is unclear, because it hasn't been done before," Josh Blackman, a law professor at South Texas College of Law, said. "No president has tried to do this before, so I don't think there's a clear precedent on the answer."What I'll say is this: Trump has basically accused Harvard of being a front for terrorism and emboldening terrorism," he added. "And I think what they're trying to do is determine if this institution can basically exist."This was echoed by Gavoor, who said things need to play out between the Trump administration and Harvard before the court can properly decide if the government followed the law."I think Harvard does need to comply with the off-cycle review of DHS's SEVP certification," Gavoor said.At the same time, he said, even if the Trump administration loses on the merits of this case, "there's a point to be argued that it may have won as a function of policy," he said."That's because it simply creates a chilling effect for students who would otherwise be attending or apply to Harvard University to be less inclined to do so or [causes them] to make alternative plans for their education In the U.S."

    Body found in Long Island pool suspected to be fugitive wanted in fathers killing: police
    Authorities believe the body found in a Long Island homeowners pool could be a fugitive who had eluded capture for several months.An East Shoreham, New York, homeowner found a male body while opening his summer pool for the season at approximately 4:20 p.m. on May 25, the Suffolk County Police Department (SCPD) confirmed to Fox News Digital.Authorities said the unnamed homeowner was removing the protective cover from his swimming pool when he saw the body.The SCPD said the body belongs to 23-year-old Matthew Zoll, who was wanted after allegedly killing his father in November 2024.POLICE HUNTING FOR LONG ISLAND MAN ACCUSED OF STABBING HIS OWN FATHER TO DEATHThe Suffolk County Medical Examiners Office will conduct an autopsy to determine the identity of the deceased and the cause of death.The SCPD confirmed that there is a strong possibility the body belongs to Zoll.

FORMER FBI AGENT WITH REGIONAL TIES REVEALS HIS THEORYPolice have not revealed a motive in the 2024 slaying but have since searched for the 23-year-old suspect.

    US Africa commander highlights terror growth in Sahel and competition with China for influence
    A top United States military general warned Thursday that terror groups in Africa are ramping up their ability to conduct attacks in the U.S.Gen. Michael Langley, thefour-star Marine General who leads U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM), said the Sahel region of the continent is now the "flashpoint of prolonged conflict and growing instability. It is the epicenter of terrorism on the globe."Several terror groups have expanded drastically in the last three years. Al-Qaeda in the Lands of the Islamic Maghreb, or AQIM, is three times the size it was in 2022, he said, and has spread across Mali, Burkina Faso, and parts of Niger, which the U.S. military pulled out of last year.ISIS INCREASINGLY UNOPPOSED FOLLOWING US WITHDRAWAL FROM AFGHANISTAN, COLLAPSE OF SYRIAJama'at Nasr al-Islam wal-Muslimin, a faction affiliated with Al-Qaeda, is now four times the size it was in 2022, expanding mainly in Burkina Faso."We're keeping a good eye on this because they could have the capacity to attack the homeland," Langley said in a call with reporters."Throughout my travels across West Africa and through dialog here at the conference, the concerns shared by my peers match my own," he added. "One of the terrorist's key goals now is access to the west coast of Africa. If they gain access to the vast coastline, they can diversify their revenue streams and evolve their tactics, more easily exporting terrorism to American shores."LONE WOLF ATTACKS SURGE IN THE WEST AS TERRORISM INTENSIFIES GLOBALLYHe noted that the terror groups engage in illicit activity like smuggling, human trafficking and arms trading, which fund their nefarious actions and destabilize the region.U.S. forces over the weekend conducted an airstrike against the al Qaeda-linked al-Shabab in Somalia. The East African country has been wracked for decades by attacks and insurgency from Islamist terrorists, both from ISIS and al-Shabab.The U.S. is in a race with China and Russia to gain influence and trust with the local governments of several African nations to help protect citizens from terror groups.Langley said there is an increasing concern about the number of African soldiers going to Beijing for military training and replicating a U.S. International Military Education and Training (IMET) program."They're trying to replicate what we do best in our IMET program," said Langley. "And then they also said they're going to increase security and training in a number of countries. So, they're trying to replicate what we do."

    Illegal aliens arrested in death of Air Force cadet candidate had suitcases packed: report
    Packed suitcases were found during the arrests of two illegal aliens charged in the death of an Air Force cadet candidate over the weekend.Over Memorial Day weekend, 18-year-old Ava Moore was killed while kayaking on Lake Grapevine in Texas after she was hit by a jet ski.The suspected driver of the jet ski and a man who allegedly helped her flee, both illegal aliens from Venezuela, were arrested in Dallas Tuesday.Daikerlyn Alejandraa Gonzalez-Gonzalez, 22, was charged with second-degree manslaughter, a felony.ICE IDENTIFIES JET SKI SUSPECTS IN AIR FORCE CADET CANDIDATE'S DEATH AS ILLEGAL ALIENSMaikel Coello Perozo, 21, is accused of picking her up and fleeing. Authorities allege Perozo hit another vehicle while speeding off. He has been charged with a collision involving damage to a vehicle and hindering apprehension, both misdemeanors.According to an arrest affidavit obtained by FOX 4, the suspects were found with their bags packed at the time of their arrests. Perozo reportedly told police he helped Gonzalez flee so she could avoid being captured.The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department led the investigation.President Donald Trump's Department of Homeland Security on Thursday slammed the previous administration for open-border policies it says led to the death of the Air Force cadet candidate."Ava Moore was a patriot serving her country when she was killed by an illegal alien in a hit-and-run over Memorial Day weekend. This senseless tragedy was 100 percent preventable," DHS said in a post on X."Daikerlyn Gonzalez and Maikel Perozo entered the U.S. illegally in 2023 and were released into our interior," the post continued."The previous administrations open border policies have cost too many Americans their lives. President Trump and Secretary Noem will continue to stand with victims of illegal alien crime and their families."TEXAS POLICE ARREST SUSPECT AFTER FATAL JET SKI HIT-AND-RUNAt a news conference Wednesday, Joshua Johnson, acting field director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Emergency Removal Operations in Dallas, first confirmed the pair were present in the United States illegally."It's my understanding that both the individuals crossed the southern border in 2023 or 2024," Johnson said. "They were arrested at the time of entry, processed on a notice to appear and then released on their own recognizance."He said ICE filed detainers for the suspects, and they will be processed for removal after criminal proceedings are concluded in Texas.Moore was remembered as a star basketball player whose lifelong dream was to be a four-star general in the military, according to her coach at the U.S. Air Force Academy Preparatory School in Colorado."You know, we talked throughout the course of the year that, at some point in her career, she was going to be a four-star general because she loved it," Kesha Blanton told FOX 4. "She made those around her better."They took a bright, bright star from our lives."Moore was scheduled to begin as an Air Force cadet in the upcoming weeks and was part of the U.S. Air Force Academy's Class of 2029, the school confirmed.

    Ooh la law: France snuffing out smoking in parks, beaches, more
    The French government is cracking down on cigarettes in public, announcing a sweeping outdoor smoking ban that aims to clear the air for the next generation of Parisians (and everyone else).Beginning July 1, France will ban smoking in a wide range of outdoor public areas, including beaches, public parks, gardens, bus stops, sports venues and anywhere near schools, according to reporting from the BBC and Agence France-Presse (AFP)."Tobacco must disappear where there are children," Health and Family Minister Catherine Vautrin told Ouest-France, a regional French newspaper, in an interview published Thursday.21,000% SPIKE IN MA VAPE SEIZURES THROWS CIGARETTE BAN INTO QUESTION, EX-ATF OFFICIAL SAYS"The freedom to smoke must end where the freedom of children to breathe fresh air begins."Under the new rules, lighting up in these designated areas could earn violators a fine of up to $153, as reported by AFP. Enforcement will primarily be handled by regular police, though Vautrin said shes counting on a dose of "self-regulation" from the public.Theres a carve-out for culture, though. Frances iconic "terrasses," the bustling outdoor caf seating areas, are exempt from the ban.Smokers can still enjoy a cigarette with their espresso and croissant, provided theyre seated at a caf. The BBC confirmed that these social spaces, which are practically a national institution, wont be affected.SOUTH CAROLINA BILL WOULD BAN SMOKING INSIDE CARS WHILE CHILDREN ARE PASSENGERSE-cigarettes are also currently excluded from the restrictions, but Vautrin told Ouest-France that her office is working on future limits to the nicotine levels allowed in vapes.The move marks a significant expansion of Frances existing anti-smoking laws.Smoking has already been banned in restaurants, nightclubs and indoor public places since 2008. Local efforts to restrict smoking in public spaces have been growing steadily. According to AFP, more than 1,500 French municipalities have already enacted their own outdoor smoking bans and hundreds of beaches have been smoke-free for years.According to data from the French Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction cited by the BBC, just 23.1% of French adults smoke daily, the lowest level ever recorded and a drop of over five percentage points since 2014.Still, tobacco-related illnesses remain a leading cause of death. Frances National Committee Against Smoking reports that more than 75,000 people die each year from smoking, around 13% of all annual deaths in the country.Support for the new restrictions appears strong. A report from La Ligue Contre le Cancer, a prominent French cancer association, found that nearly 80% of French citizens favor smoke-free public areas like parks, beaches and woodlands.But while many in France welcome the move, some have raised concerns over the balance between public health and personal liberty. Conservatives may see the ban as another example of top-down government overreach.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPBe careful lighting up on your summer vacations in France this year as it may just get you a fine.

    California families of girl athletes speak out as state changes championship rules amid transgender drama
    EXCLUSIVE: The California high school track and field state championship is shaping up to be one of the most unprecedented high school sports events in recent history.Amid a national controversy involving a trans athlete competing in the girls' category, the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) announced a series of sweeping rule changes in the days leading up to the event to accommodate female competitors.But now multiple families of girls who have already been displaced by a trans athlete at previous meets have spoken out against the federation, expressing dissatisfaction with the changes.On Tuesday, the CIF announced it would expand the size of the championship competition pool and inviting "biological female" athletes who missed out on making the title meet by one spot due to a trans athlete finishing ahead of them in last week's qualifying round.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMThen on Wednesday, the federation announced it would also recognize female athletes on the medal podium if a girl who misses out on a medal finish does so because they came behind a trans athlete.Crean Lutheran track and field star Reese Hogan finished in second place to trans athlete AB Hernandez of Jurupa Valley High School in the triple jump at the Southern Sectional final on May 17. Then, on the medal podium, after Hernandez stepped off, Hogan stepped up to the first-place spot for a photo-op to a roaring applause. The stunt went viral as Hogan was praised by women's sports rights activists as a heroine.But CIF's latest rule changes won't be giving Hogan the first-place medal for that event.Hogan's family provided a statement from her to Fox News Digital that read, "The recent CIF rule changes clearly acknowledge a misstep on their part. However, what they've proposed falls short of what we truly need for all girls across all sports. I placed second in CIF, and I know that if I hadn't been competing against a boy, I would have claimed the top spot on the podium.""Unfortunately, we can't revisit that moment to rectify this injustice. This issue transcends a single meet, sport, or individual; its fundamentally about the rights of all females to compete fairly among themselves. We deserve that opportunity, and we will continue to advocate for it."Hogan has previously told Fox News Digital she finds the situation involving Hernandez "sad.""It's just kind of sad just watching. He's obviously a really talented athlete, we've all seen him jump and stuff, and I wish him the best of luck, but in a boys' division," Hogan previously told Fox News Digital about competing against the athlete. "It's pretty obvious the certain advantages that he has, and it's obviously just sad as a woman to watch that."Meanwhile, the family of Hogan's Crean Lutheran teammate, Olivia Viola, also isn't satisfied with the rule changes."While we are grateful that a few female athletes will regain their ability to compete at states and females will earn their rightful titles at this weekends competition, unfortunately CIFs trial program doesnt actually fix anything.Women are still being forced to compete against biological males. The title IX civil rights of our daughters, sisters, friends and teammatesare still being violated," Viola's family said in a statement to Fox News Digital."Unfortunately, with each step our state leaders take, comes the realization that California really has no intention of protecting our girls in the ways that are necessary. The pilot program essentially admits that allowing biological males to compete in the female category was a mistake. Now its time for full course correction. There is a fundamental truth here that must be upheld. Separating competitive athletics into two XX-XY gender categories must be a non-negotiable."TEEN GIRLS OPEN UP ON TRANS-ATHLETE SCANDAL THAT TURNED THEIR HIGH SCHOOL INTO CULTURE WAR BATTLEGROUNDPresident Donald Trump weighed in on the situation when he sent a Truth Social post on Tuesday morning, warning the state and Gov. Gavin Newsom of potential funding cuts and orders to local authorities to prevent a trans athlete from competing in the girls' category on Saturday. The first rule change came just hours after Trump's post.The Department of Justice announced it would launch an investigation into the CIF and California Attorney General Rob Bonta over the state's law that allows biologically male trans athletes to compete with girls and women on Wednesday. The second rule change took place shortly after that announcement.On Tuesday, the family of another girls' track star who has been displaced by Hernandez in the track and field postseason, Katie McGuinness of La Canada High School, told Fox News Digital they are grateful for Trump's intervention."We are grateful that President Trump is fighting for female athletes and giving them a fair shot to compete on a levelplaying field.CIF's solution to this situation, which allows additional girls to compete at the state championship who otherwise didn't qualify because the transgender athlete took their spot, isn't good enough it's still an unfair competition and an injustice to the girls competing," the family said in a statement."Allowing biological males to compete in womens sports is unfair, unjust and defies common sense," the family added.Katie previously spoke out against CIF for allowing the situation to get this far in an interview on Fox News' "America Reports" last week."I have nothing against this athlete as a person, and I have nothing against the trans community," McGuinness said. "My message today is really specifically to CIF and for them to act quickly and in a timely manner because this is a really time-sensitive issue."Follow Fox News Digitals sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
