Takeaways from AP's investigation into online school for incarcerated teens

GAINESVILLE, Fla. — No matter the offense, states must educate students in juvenile detention . It's a complicated challenge, no doubt — and success stories are scarce. In Florida, where more than 1,000 students are in long-term confinement, the state last year put those kids' schooling online. That's despite strong evidence that online learning failed many kids during the pandemic. The state juvenile justice system contracted with the Florida Virtual School, one of the nation's oldest and largest online learning systems.

ICE says illegal migrant threatened to harm himself with butcher knife when stopped by officers in DC

Immigration and Customs Enforcement said on Wednesday that an illegal migrant was detained in Washington, D.C., after he was stopped by agents and subsequently motioned that he would harm himself with a butcher knife. Jimmy Anderson Ayala Mayuri, of Peru, was stopped by federal officers on Wednesday as he was driving his food truck in the nation's capital, according to ICE. "Capital city cleanup continues!" ICE wrote on X. "Illegal Peruvian alien Jimmy Anderson Ayala Mayuri presented a large butcher knife to federal officers and motioned that he'd harm himself with it when we stopped his food truck on National Park Service property in D.C. today," the post continued. ICE said the man briefly barricaded himself in the truck before he was apprehended. He will be detained until a deportation decision is made, according to the agency. This comes after President Donald Trump's recent move to increase the presence of federal law enforcement in Washington in an effort to cut down on crime in the district, although the mayor has said crime had already been on the decline in the city. The federal takeover of D.C. would also include the deployment of the National Guard and the U.S. Justice Department taking control of the city's police department. The arrest on Wednesday also comes amid the Trump administration's mass deportation policies targeting migrants in cities across the country.

Harvey Weinstein's next retrial could happen this fall

Disgraced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein faces sentencing and a possible retrial in his New York City sex crimes case. Manhattan Judge Curtis Farber said that he could sentence Weinstein on 30 September, but only if there's no retrial on a rape charge that the last jury failed to decide. If there is a retrial, the judge wants it to happen this fall. Weinstein, 73, was convicted in June of forcing oral sex on TV and movie production assistant and producer Miriam Haley in 2006. The charge carries a possible sentence of up to 25 years in prison. At the same time, the same jury acquitted him of forcing oral sex on model Kaja Sokola, but couldn't decide a charge that he raped hairstylist and actress Jessica Mann in 2013. Manhattan prosecutors reiterated on Wednesday that they and Mann are ready for another trial on the rape charge. In this case, any conviction is punishable by up to four years in prison. Prosecutors requested a January trial date, but Farber proposed the fall. 'The case needs to be tried this year,' Farber said. Weinstein lawyer Arthur Aidala agreed, urging the judge to set the earliest possible date. If a fall trial happens, it would likely put Weinstein's high-profile #MeToo case back in court as Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg is in the final stage of his reelection bid. Bragg, a first-term Democrat who made prosecuting sex crimes cases a priority, has expressed satisfaction with Weinstein's conviction on a criminal sex act charge related to Haley. Bragg has said Mann deserves a verdict on her part of the case. 'This work, first and foremost, is about the survivors, and that's why we're prepared to go forward," Bragg said in June. Weinstein also stands convicted of sex crimes in California. He is appealing that verdict and continued to deny all of the allegations against him.
