Serial Immigration Fraudster Working as a Minnesota Corrections Officer Arrested MINNEAPOLIS — U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services’ Operation Twin Shield is yielding yet more results with the arrest of a Minnesota correctional officer and AWOL National Guard member masquerading as a U.S. citizen despite having no legal status in the United States. The serial fraudster was identified as part of the major enforcement operation that targeted suspected immigration fraud in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area last fall. Through the joint efforts of Department of Homeland Security agencies USCIS and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Morris Brown, a 45-year-old illegal alien from Liberia, was arrested Jan. 15 in Minneapolis by ICE for multiple violations of U.S. immigration law, including overstaying his student visa and making false claims to U.S. citizenship. Brown last entered the U.S. in 2014 on a non-immigrant student visa that was terminated in 2015 because he failed to enroll in a full course of study. Despite not having legal status, he joined the Pennsylvania Army National Guard in 2014 but went AWOL the next year. He was ultimately apprehended and discharged from the military under other than honorable conditions in 2022. more at https://www.uscis.gov/newsroom/news-releases/serial-immigration-fraudster-working-as-a-minnesota-corrections-officer-arrested

The Missouri House on Thursday passed a bill to permanently ban gender-affirming care for minors despite intense pushback from the state’s transgender community and LGBTQ advocates. The bill, filed by Rep. Melisa Schmidt, an Eldridge Republican, would remove a 2027 sunset on a 2023 law that banned health care, such as hormone therapy, for transgender minors. Thursday’s vote marked Missouri’s first major attempt this year to remove the expiration date, a provision added by Democrats in 2023. The initial legislation, which included a permanent ban on surgeries for transgender minors and incarcerated people, was part of a nationwide wave of legislation aimed at the transgender community. After passing through the House on a vote of 105 to 40, the legislation now heads to the Senate. more at https://www.kansascity.com/news/politics-government/article314669125.html

How is this not national news? Can someone explain that to me? Local news station WTOP reports on the grossest story you haven't yet heard of: D.C. Water CEO David Gaddis resolved to do everything possible to reclaim the Potomac River after last month's disastrous sewer pipe break, he said in an open letter to the community Wednesday. The failure in a section of a 72-inch sewer pipe, known as the Potomac Interceptor, resulted in the release of hundreds of millions of gallons of raw sewage into the river just inside the Beltway along the C&O Canal in Montgomery County, Maryland. It's considered the largest spill of wastewater in U.S. history. Our nation's capital is currently the epicenter of the "largest spill of wastewater in U.S. history?" more at https://notthebee.com/article/a-major-sewer-crisis-in-washington-dc-has-quietly-spilled-250-million-gallons-of-raw-sewage-into-the-potomac-?from_social=twitter

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (CBS12) — Florida officials say a former state employee processed more than 220 bogus propertydamage claims that siphoned $1.7 million from taxpayers, leading to the arrests of six people in what investigators call one of the state’s most brazen internal fraud schemes in recent years. The Florida Department of Financial Services’ Criminal Investigations Division (CID) announced the arrests on Monday after uncovering what they described as a coordinated effort to exploit the state’s Division of Risk Management. According to investigators, the fraudulent claims were submitted and approved over time, allowing the payouts to flow to individuals who had no legitimate losses. State leaders condemned the operation and warned that anyone else involved should come forward before investigators identify them. more at https://katv.com/news/nation-world/florida-news-arrest-1-7-million-dollars-scheme-cfo-blaise-ingoglia-built-on-more-than-200-fake-state-claims-tallahassee-division-of-risk-management-florida-department-of-financial-services-criminal-investigations-division-government
