HPD's ‘Summer Slowdown' encourages drivers to hit the brakes, not exceed the limit

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (WHNT) — As summer gets underway, the Huntsville Police Department (HPD) is urging all drivers to be more aware and slow down – especially on city streets and in neighborhoods around the city. The Summer Slowdown campaign, which is running from June 9- August 12, is aimed at curbing dangerous driving habits and reducing crashes through a combination of education and enforcement efforts. HPD added that the campaign is also about protecting our youth in the city whether its kids playing outside, or teens getting behind the wheel for the first time. 'This isn't just about traffic enforcement – it's about protecting lives,' Huntsville Police Chief Kirk Giles said. 'Summer Slowdown is our effort to reduce dangerous driving, increase awareness and keep our community safe every time someone gets behind the wheel.' To combat these trends, HPD will increase patrols and enforcement in high-risk areas and residentials neighborhoods where speeding complaints are common. The department will also share ongoing education and safety reminders through social media and community events to encourage responsible driving habits. 'Enforcement alone won't solve the problem,' Huntsville Police Chief Giles said. 'We must engage with our community to educate drivers on the real risks of speeding – from deadly crashes to the financial and legal consequences they will face.' So far in 2025, Huntsville has seen 12 fatal crashes, with speed playing a primary or contributing role. Between January and May, HPD issued 2,625 citations and 1,641 written warnings – most involving drivers exceeding the speed limit by at least 10 miles per hour. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

National Guard troops to join ICE agents on LA immigration raids: sources

Armed National Guard troops are accompanying immigration agents as they carry out mass deportation raids on the streets of Los Angeles, multiple sources told The Post. The troops, who were mobilized by President Trump, are providing 'operational security' to Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents after they faced attacks and threats from anti-ICE rioters, sources said. It's 'in case sh-t hits the fan,' said a federal law enforcement source. A second source added: 'It's needed for extra safety and security doing operations.' 3 Homeland Security agents arrest a suspect in Riverside, California. @HSILosAngeles/X ICE agents are happy that the National Guard soldiers will have their backs, but some are concerned that their presence could make the federal immigration agents an even bigger target, the first source said. 'They're showing up with Humvees and uniforms,' the source said. ICE agents often try to fly below the radar before they swoop on a target, traveling in unmarked SUVs and operating in street clothes. A Department of Homeland Security spokesperson didn't immediately respond to The Post's request for comment. The soldiers are not making any arrests on behalf of ICE. The Trump administration deployed 2,000 National Guard soldiers to LA over the weekend as rioters set cars ablaze and hurled rocks at law enforcement officers. 3 National Guard soldiers stand guard near an ICE detention center in downtown LA.

AP Later, the Department of Defense mobilized 700 active-duty Marines from Twentynine Palms, California, to help maintain order in LA. Roughly 150 Border Patrol agents have also been pulled from the southern border in both California and Arizona to help control the riots, according to sources. Border Patrol agents were pummeled with rockets and cinder blocks by protesters on Saturday night following a series of ICE raids, including in Compton and at a Home Depot in the majority-Hispanic city of Paramount. At least one border agent was injured by a missile flying through his windshield. Trump earlier praised the National Guard while criticizing LA Mayor Karen Bass and California Gavin Newsom for being 'unable to handle the tasks' of quelling the violence. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth earlier warned the National Guard was being deployed 'IMMEDIATELY to support federal law enforcement in Los Angeles in a post on X. ICE agents have been undeterred by the anti-ICE riots, collaring illegal migrant criminals as part of the mass deportation effort. On Sunday, ICE arrested several illegal migrant criminals, including child abusers and pedophiles, according to DHS. California Gov. Gavin Newsom filed a lawsuit Monday against the Trump administration for sending in the National Guard, claiming that it has only fanned the flames of the protests. Newsom also dared border czar Tom Homan to arrest him. And Trump said he 'would do it' – if he were Homan, at least.
