Trump plans ride-along with troops in Washington, D.C., crackdown
President Trump said he's planning to ride along Thursday night with troops patrolling Washington, D.C., as part of his federal crackdown. 'I'm going to be going out tonight, I think, with the police and with the military,' Trump told conservative commentator Todd Starnes. 'So we're going to do a job. The National Guard is great. They've done a fantastic job.' Trump gave no additional details of which law enforcement or military units he might join or when and where. Trump's move to personally join the controversial crackdown, which has lasted for two weeks, would amount to a new escalation in the show of force from the White House. Hundreds of federal agents and National Guard soldiers have surged into the streets of the nation's capital this month, leaving some residents on edge and creating tense confrontations in the streets. Although the city has historically struggled with high crime, crime rates were sharply declining before Trump declared a putative emergency that required urgent federal intervention. Troops and agents from an alphabet soup of different agencies have set up checkpoints on busy city arteries, injecting their authority into daily life. Immigration enforcement has been a core part of the crackdown, rattling immigrants and Latino American citizens in many of the city's diverse neighborhoods. Since Aug. 7, when Trump began surging federal agents into the city, there have been 630 arrests, including 251 people who are in the country illegally, according to the White House. Trump has been ratcheting up the pressure since then, claiming control of the D.C. police department on Aug. 11 and deploying more National Guard troops from Republican-led states. Soldiers have been largely stationed in downtown areas, such as monuments on the National Mall and transit stations. But federal agents have started to operate more widely through the city, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser acknowledged Thursday. 'The surge of federal officers is allowing for different types of deployments, more frequent types of deployments, like checkpoints,' Bowser said. Democrats have denounced the federal crackdown as a political stunt. The law that permits the feds to exercise wide authority over law enforcement in Washington, D.C., says the crackdown can only last for 30 days unless Congress approves an extension. Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., has said Democrats will block any effort to extend Trump's emergency. _____

Lil Nas X hospitalized for possible OD after roaming LA streets in underwear
Lil Nas X has been hospitalized for a possible overdose after strutting in underwear and cowboy boots down Ventura Boulevard in Los Angeles early Thursday morning. At around 4 a.m., the 'Old Town Road' rapper, 26, told a bystander, 'Hey, don't be late to the party tonight,' according to cellphone footage obtained by TMZ. 'Go ahead, babe,' the Grammy winner, real name Montero Lamar Hill, told the other man, before continuing to sing and walk along the famed thoroughfare. In subsequent clips, he strikes several poses and tells the other man, 'It's gonna be a beautiful sunrise. Gimme that phone, so I can throw it. I wanna throw it far away, so you never see it again. I don't like phones.' 'Don't miss the party tonight, why are you still here?' he continues. 'You need to be telling everyone about the f–ing party. What's your problem?' Multiple witnesses reported the erratic behavior to Los Angeles Police, according to TMZ. When officers eventually caught up with the 'Star Walkin'' artist, he allegedly 'charged' at them, only to be subdued and handcuffed, sources told the outlet. He was transported to a hospital for a potential overdose, where law enforcement sources say he's still being treated. Though Nas could be charged for the ordeal, it's unclear whether he will be. Representatives for the rapper did not immediately respond to the Daily News' request for comment. Nas was also hospitalized back in April for partial facial paralysis, revealing in a since-deleted post that he'd 'lost control of the right side of [his] face' and couldn't 'even laugh right.' Though the cause has not yet been confirmed, it's been speculated that Nas may have been suffering from Bell's palsy, which causes sudden weakness in the muscles in one side of the face and can make it appear to droop. The condition, whose particular cause is not known, is usually temporary and affects an estimated 40,000 people — across age and sex brackets — in the U.S. each year.

Federal officials to take over inspections when troubled Boar's Head plant reopens
Federal inspectors will assume direct oversight of a troubled Boar's Head deli meat plant when it reopens after last year's deadly listeria outbreak, U.S. Agriculture Department officials said. The Jarratt, Virginia, factory is set to resume operations in the coming months. It will face at least 90 days of heightened monitoring and inspections by federal Food Safety and Inspection Service officials. Previously, inspections were conducted by state officials who operated on behalf of the agency. The change aims to 'ensure the establishment consistently and effectively implements its corrected food safety plans,' USDA officials said in a statement. It calls for stricter enforcement if lapses occur. The plant was shuttered nearly a year ago when listeria-tainted liverwurst caused the outbreak that killed 10 people, sickened dozens and forced a recall of more than 7 million pounds of deli products. USDA officials lifted the plant's suspension in July. In the years before the outbreak, state inspectors documented numerous problems at the plant, including mold, insects, liquid dripping from ceilings and meat and fat residue on walls, floors and equipment, records showed. They were operating under a cooperative agreement, the Talmadge-Aiken program, that allows state inspectors to conduct federal inspections. The shift to direct federal oversight underscores the severity of the problems at the Boar's Head plant, said Sandra Eskin, a former USDA official who now heads STOP Foodborne Illness, a consumer advocacy group. It raises concerns about communication between state and federal officials when problems occur, she added. 'Given its history, it's particularly important that there be robust oversight of that plant,' Eskin said. Boar's Head officials said in a statement that they have worked with state and federal regulators 'to ensure the successful and safe reopening of the Jarratt facility.' The company said it has boosted food safety practices in Jarratt and other sites aimed at reducing or eliminating listeria in finished products. The company has declined to comment on documents obtained by The Associated Press that showed that sanitation problems persist at other Boar's Head sites in three states. Between January and July, inspectors in Arkansas, Indiana and a second site in Virginia reported problems that include instances of meat and fat residue left on equipment and walls, drains blocked with meat products, beaded condensation on ceilings and floors, overflowing trash cans and staff who didn't wear protective hairnets and plastic aprons or wash their hands. Officials at the 120-year-old company based in Sarasota, Florida, hired a chief food safety officer in May. It also brought in a panel of experts, including Mindy Brashears, a food safety expert nominated by President Donald Trump for a second term as the USDA's undersecretary for food safety. Brashears, who now directs a food safety center at Texas Tech University, did not respond to requests for comment about Boar's Head. An automatic email reply said she was traveling out of the country until next week. ___ The Associated Press Health and Science Department receives support from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute's Department of Science Education and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
