SAN DIEGO (AP) — A federal judge sentenced a San Diego man to 18 years in prison Friday for piloting a small vessel overloaded with 32 migrants that smashed apart in powerful surf off San Diego's coast last year, killing three people. U.S. District Judge Janis L. Sammartino called it “the most egregious case I’ve ever had in my courtroom in over 15 years in the Southern District of California" before sentencing 40-year-old Antonio Hurtado. Prosecutors say Hurtado was high on drugs when he drove the migrants into rough, stormy seas in the dark on May 2021. As 5-to-8-foot (1.5-2.4-meter) waves pounded the vessel, he jumped overboard and swam to shore, abandoning the passengers he had told to hide in the cabin and under deck. The boat capsized and broke apart as they were hurled into the treacherous early morning waters. Hurtado's lawyer could not be reached for comment. More than two dozen people were injured, including a 15-year-old Mexican boy and a 15-year-old Mexican girl. … [Read more...] about US man sentenced to 18 years for deadly migrant boat trip

Prince Andrew slammed for ‘insulting’ 1,000 DAYS of silence since vow to help sex probe in car-crash Newsnight interview
PRINCE ANDREW has been slammed for his "insulting" 1,000 days of silence since he vowed on Newsnight to help the probe into his pervert pals Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. The Duke of York was blasted as the staggering milestone slips by today - with the 62-year-old still not believed to have ever given a statement over the vile couple's sex crimes. He has once again been urged to finally reveal what he really knows about the warped pair - with Maxwell now rotting in prison and not talking after Epstein took his own life in 2019. It is hoped Andrew could unknowingly hold information that could lead investigators to the "last piece of the jigsaw" to expose the full extent of the couple's twisted "sexual pyramid scheme ". But his pledge to cooperate has also been dismissed as nothing but a "PR stunt". The Duke of York insisted he would talk to law enforcement during his car crash Newsnight interview on November 16, 2019 - exactly 1,000 days ago as of publication. … [Read more...] about Prince Andrew slammed for ‘insulting’ 1,000 DAYS of silence since vow to help sex probe in car-crash Newsnight interview

With voting already under way in Florida's Aug. 23 election , officials in a county where about one in four voters are Hispanic are scrambling to fix a Spanish translation error that can't help efforts to raise more money for education. The Broward school district — the nation's sixth largest serving 271,517 students — is asking voters to double the tax rate to help cover the costs of teacher raises and more school security staff and to bolster mental health programs . The proposal would increase a tax from one half a mill — which is about $50 per $100,000 in home value — to a full mill.

This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate 4 PHOENIX (AP) — Arizona began moving in shipping containers to close a 1,000-foot gap in the border wall near the southern Arizona farming community of Yuma on Friday, with officials saying they were acting to stop migrants after repeated, unfulfilled promises from the Biden administration to block off the area. The move by Arizona comes without explicit permission on federal land, with state contractors starting to move in 60-foot-long (18.3-meter-long) shipping containers and stacking two of the 9-foot-tall (2.7-meter-tall) containers on top of each other early Friday. They plan to complete the job within days, and the containers will be topped with 4 feet (1.2 meters) of razor wire, said Katie Ratlief, Republican Gov. Doug Ducey’s deputy chief of staff.

We lose two medics to suicide every week – it’s vital we remember them and tackle this hidden crisis, says Adam Kay
SAVING lives is an everyday job for many healthcare workers, but the pressure can take a heavy toll. Devastatingly, two medical staff in the UK die of suicide each week, according to the Laura Hyde Foundation - this includes nurses, doctors, paramedics and more. To commemorate the lost lives of brave healthcare professionals, comedian and former doctor Adam Kay has planted a memorial tree at Ealing Hospital - the first of its kind in the UK. Speaking to The Sun, he said: "It's an unthinkable tragedy. We don't talk about mental health enough, especially within the profession. "This tree is the first ever memorial in the UK to the amazing medics who took their own lives. It means a huge amount to me. "I knew people who took their own lives, and I'm not alone. The truth of the matter is, if you speak to any medical staff they'll all have a connection to someone who has killed themselves."
