Several Louisiana officers are arrested and accused in a bribery scheme to help foreign nationals get visas
The defendants fraudulently obtained or helped obtain non-immigrant U visas, which allow foreign nationals without any official status in the US to stay in the country in certain circumstances when they're victims of or witnesses to crimes, Acting US Attorney Alexander Van Hook of the Western District of Louisiana said.
The Subway operator allegedly paid $5,000 to the officers to fraudulently claim certain foreign nationals were victims of armed robberies that never occurred, Van Hook said.

Police commissioner speaks to Shirley business owners as she vows to tackle crime
The Hampshire Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) met with business owners in Shirley this afternoon as she vowed to tackle anti-social behaviour in the area. It comes after business owners have been subjected to five months of vandalism and verbal abuse from a group of teenagers, which in some cases has seen them be on the receiving end of racist remarks. Speaking to the Echo in Shirley Precinct after meeting with the affected business owners and members of the council, PCC Donna Jones outlined plans to tackle anti-social behaviour in the area, which included private security guards patrolling the high street, the implementation of CCTV cameras in the precinct, and increased police patrols in the region. PCC Donna Jones said: 'I've got a clear message for the young people who are involved in this criminality, it stops now. 'What these businesses have been through over the last five months is completely unacceptable, they are closing their businesses during the day, they're putting the shutters down, we have a gang of young people causing chaos and havoc, committing racially aggravated assaults, enough is enough. 'I'm going to be funding extra CCTV to go around the high street, I'll be funding probably two security guards who will be patrolling the high street during the core hours the shops are open, and they'll be a step up in police patrols here. 'We've got a crown prosecutor from the CPS who we hope to bring onboard as a key partner to make sure they understand what is going on here in terms of the levels of harm and organised criminality, and we'll be following up today's meeting in a few weeks to see if things have calmed down.'

Business owners in the precinct hailed the plans as a 'positive step forward,' but expressed frustration that the crime they'd experienced in the area hadn't been tackled sooner. Nnenna Okonkwo, owner of Sunnyday International Foods, said: 'Today is a positive step forward. 'We've needed some help for a while and it was good to talk about everything today with the police commissioner, we hope the changes she's mentioned will have a positive impact on the area and end the abuse shop owners have been facing.' Naani Shaik, manager of Subway in Shirley Precinct, added: 'We've experienced mental torture on a daily basis. 'I wish we could have had this meeting weeks ago but today was constructive. 'Today, I've seen more police patrols in the precinct, and I hope that continues tomorrow.' Leader of Southampton City Council and ward councillor for Shirley, Alexander Winning, said crime was 'unacceptable,' and sympathised with the issues businesses have been facing. He said: 'I know there's been a lot of issues in the last five months with anti-social behaviour but it's more than that, businesses have been terrorised. 'It's not okay and needs to stop. Today was appositive meeting, we've got some agreed actions that we'll be taking forward, it was shocking to hear first hand what businesses have gone through, it's not right. 'Shirley is a welcoming place, and it should be welcoming for everyone.'

Murder investigation launched after man shot near petrol station
A murder investigation has been launched after a man was fatally shot near a petrol station. West Yorkshire Police said officers received a report at 9.43pm on Tuesday that a man had been seriously injured after a shot was fired from a vehicle on Doncaster Road near the BP petrol station in Wakefield. The force said it believed the vehicle used in the offence was 'on false plates and was stolen in a burglary in Castleford on August 3'. The victim was taken to hospital where he died from his injuries. Police said he is understood to be a 50-year-old man who was living in the local area. The man's immediate family are aware and are being offered support by specially trained officers. Police said the vehicle involved is believed to be a blue/grey-coloured Toyota RAV4 with a grey trim, displaying cloned plates FV53FXT. The vehicle is described as being 'distinctive due to having bull lights on the roof above the windshield'. Detective Chief Inspector James Entwistle, of West Yorkshire Police's homicide and major inquiry team, said: 'A man has lost his life, and it is an absolute priority for us to understand the circumstances of what has taken place and identify anyone who has had any involvement in this incident. 'We understand that the vehicle used in this offence was on false plates and was stolen in a burglary in Castleford on 3 August. The vehicle is particularly distinctive because of the bull lights fitted to the vehicle. 'We are interested in speaking to anyone who believes they have seen this RAV4 following this burglary, around the time of this offence and since. The vehicle may now be displaying different plates. 'Motorists who were in the Doncaster Road area last night who have dashcams fitted are also asked to check whether they have captured any footage of this vehicle. 'The driver was driving in the direction of Wakefield before they have turned around near the BP petrol station immediately prior to the shooting and then driven off in the direction they came from. 'We understand the shock and concern that an incident of this nature will cause, particularly given that a firearm has been involved. 'We are dedicating significant resources to this investigation and our neighbourhood policing colleagues are supporting this with an increased presence in the area to provide reassurance to the community.' Anyone who witnessed any part of the incident or who has any information that could assist the investigation is asked to contact West Yorkshire Police's homicide and major inquiry team online or by calling 101 quoting Operation Ploughland. Information, including footage, can be provided through the force's major incident public portal at

Maxwell: Cory Mills' many messes shouldn't surprise GOP voters
After George Santos left Washington, it was hard to imagine any member of Congress generating more cringe-inducing controversies. Enter Cory Mills, who apparently viewed this opening as a hold-my-beer challenge. Considering the following headlines: 'Rep. Cory Mills hit with revenge-porn accusation after breakup with beauty queen' 'Ethics report details allegations Cory Mills held contracts with federal agencies after election to Congress' 'Central Florida Rep. Cory Mills under investigation by DC police over alleged assault' 'Landlord seeks to evict Republican congressman over unpaid rent at D.C. apartment' 'Stolen valor? Veterans dispute Cory Mills' record: 'He fooled a lot of us'' Those stories are all from just the last six months, some trumpeted by hard-right, conservative media outlets. Rep. Mills disputes ex-girlfriend's sex video extortion allegations Mills, a former Army sergeant and military contractor who is in his second term as the Republican rep for Seminole and Volusia counties, says virtually all of the accusations are bogus. Still, Republicans are nervous — as evidenced by yet another headline last week from Politico: 'Republicans quietly fret about 'disturbing' Cory Mills allegations.' Well, here's the reality: Nobody should've expected much different. When Mills first ran for Congress in 2022, there were several respected Republicans in the field — serious policy-minded conservatives who would've just gone about the business of doing their jobs. But Republican voters in Florida didn't want serious policy makers. They wanted a bomb-throwing extremist. And that's exactly what they got. While thoughtful GOP candidates — like Ted Edwards, a former Orange County commissioner, and Rusty Roberts, a former chief of staff to former Congressman John Mica — talked about issues like transportation, gun violence and the economy, Mills was threatening to tear gas the media. And GOP voters ate it up. The entire race was modern MAGA personified — sound, fury and division beating thoughtful discourse to a bloody pulp. It didn't always used to be this way in this district. For years, this Seminole County-centered district was purple, meaning it elected more moderate members like Republican John Mica and Democrat Stephanie Murphy. But then GOP legislators redrew it to be heavily Republican, meaning the candidate who ran the furthest to the right would probably win. So guys like Edwards and Roberts — Republicans with proven track records of service — never stood a chance. Instead, they were overshadowed by guys like Mills, who ran ads gaslighting Black Lives Matters and the journalists, and Anthony Sabatini, who fumed about DEI and drag queens. Edwards and Roberts talked policy and showed up at candidate forums. Mills and Sabatini threw bombs, sowed division and couldn't even bring themselves to attend a candidate Q&A sponsored by the AARP. Two months before that GOP primary was held in 2022, I was pretty sure I knew which approach would prevail, writing a column that said the following: 'So while Edwards is talking about trying to protect the lives of children, Sabatini is ranting about drag queens and Mills is airing an ad where he offers to tear-gas the media. We'll see which approach resonates with more Florida Republicans. I've covered Florida politics long enough to think I know. I'd love to be wrong.' I was not wrong. Mills and Sabatini finished in first and second place in the primary. Neither Edwards nor Roberts even fetched 6%. Can a gun-toting Republican who supports gun-safety laws win a Florida primary? | Commentary Mills then went on to win the general election and has been embarrassing himself and the state ever since. It started his first week in office when Mills made national headlines for joking about the bloody hammer attack of Nancy Pelosi's husband, saying: 'Finally, one less gavel in the Pelosi house for Paul to fight with in his underwear.' That's precisely the kind of maturity and humanity voters supported. The accusations against Mills have gotten more serious ever since, some of them coming from fellow veterans and Republicans. Mills and his reps have said it's all bunk — that the veterans who dispute his life-saving stories may have been confused by the fog of war, that he settled the issues with his $20,000-a-month unpaid rent, that the woman who originally reported he assaulted her recanted her statement and that the recent accusations of video extortion from a former Miss United State and current Republican state committeewoman are the result of a bad breakup and political targeting. Maybe he's right. Maybe Mills is the most wrongfully accused guy in Washington. Still, it's pretty remarkable that Mills has generated more ugly headlines in the past six months than most politicians do in a career. Politico reported that 'Some of his GOP colleagues are wondering if they should start looking for another candidate to back in the district' while others are hoping 'Mills' various messes will sort themselves out without blowing back on the party more broadly.' They can hope all you want. But Mills let the party and its voters know what kind of politician he was from day one.
