Mexico and the US are closing in on a deal to combat drug trafficking and violence, a pact that could quell some of President Donald Trump's chief concerns with his southern neighbor and lead to a wider agreement covering trade. Terms of the deal are still being hammered out, but Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said they include sharing more intelligence information, reducing the flow of fentanyl precursor chemicals into her country and cracking down on the flow of guns from the US.

Billionaire philanthropist Wallis Annenberg's final days marred by bitter fued between lesbian lover and kids
Billionaire philanthropist Wallis Annenberg's children were locked in a bitter legal feud with their mom's longtime girlfriend just weeks before she died — with the kids alleging the 86-year-old heiress was abused, drugged and locked away in a vegetative state towards the end. Three of Annenberg's kids allege their mother's longtime partner, Kris Levine, and her sister, Vikki Levine, isolated and overmedicated the philanthropist before she succumbed to her lung cancer battle on Monday, the Los Angeles Times reported. In the lead up to her death, the children — Gregory, Lauren and Charles — had accused Vikki, who was their mom's personal assistant and had authority over her medical decisions, of hastening Annenberg's decline by exerting control over her in 'likely fatal' ways, court documents state. The kids, too, were distressed about plans to send Annenberg's remains for composting within hours of her looming death, according to the various filings. The Levine sisters, for their part, have blasted the allegations as 'vicious and false.' 3 Billionaire philanthropist Wallis Annenberg's children were locked in a bitter legal feud with their mom's longtime girlfriend just weeks before she died. Annenberg Foundation They claim no one was over-medicating or mistreating Annenberg and that the dispute, which isn't tied to her vast fortune, stems from her children not being in charge of her care. The bitter family feud escalated after Annenberg, the heiress to her father Walter Annenberg's publishing empire, was first diagnosed with cancer in late 2023. Despite going into remission, the disease returned last fall, and she opted not to undergo treatment again, court records show. In May, she started hospice care and was given medication to help with the pain and anxiety brought on by her decreased lung function, the filings state. A month later, Annenberg's children claim Vikki hired a new team of nurses to allegedly start administering 'excessive amounts of powerful narcotics and opioids, such as Fentanyl, Morphine, Ativan and other similar drugs.' They alleged the drugs kept their mom 'in a vegetative state' and that when she was coherent, she was 'adamant that this is not what she wants and that she believes, in her own words, that Vikki is 'kidnapping her.'' The children later filed a petition with Los Angeles County Superior Court in early July in a bid to have Vikki removed as Annenberg's healthcare agent authority. 3 Annenberg's kids allege their mother's longtime partner, Kris Levine, and her sister, Vikki Levine, isolated and overmedicated the philanthropist before she succumbed to her lung cancer battle. Getty Images for Women's Cancer Research Fund 'We have been informed that my mother may only have weeks to live, and I do not want those weeks to be spent in a medically-induced coma due to Vikki's actions, which are contrary to medical advice and harmful to her well-being,' her daughter, Lauren, wrote in one declaration. They also sought to have a judge impose a three-day limit to ensure Annenberg's remains couldn't be quickly removed from her house and sent away before they could say a proper goodbye. Kris, who had been dating the heiress since 2009 and lived with her, adamantly denied the claims — and insisted she allowed the siblings unrestricted access to their ailing mom. 'No one is attempting to hurt Wallis — we love her. No one is keeping her children from her. Despite the outrageous behavior they exhibit in my home at such a sensitive time, they are still welcome,' Kris said in a declaration. She argued that her partner's children were trying to interfere in their mother's care. 'They crowd around Wallis' bed while the nurses are caring for her, tell Wallis that she doesn't need the medication, refuse to get out of their way, ask numerous questions about the medication and procedures being employed, and generally make the situation untenable for a care-provider to work,' she wrote, according to court docs. Still, on July 22, a judge determined there was 'good cause' to suspend Vikki as Annenberg's healthcare agent. A professional fiduciary was temporarily appointed to oversee her care. Annenberg, however, died a week later. 3 Annenberg supported the arts, science, education and animal welfare causes over decades in Los Angeles Michael Kovac The Post reached out to Kris' attorney but didn't hear back immediately. Lawyers for Annenberg's children declined to comment. In the wake of her death, the family issued a statement saying, 'Wallis transitioned peacefully and comfortably this morning to her new adventure.' 'Cancer may have beaten her body but it never got her spirit. We will hold her and her wisdom in our hearts forever.' Annenberg, who supported the arts, science, education and animal welfare causes over decades in Los Angeles, had served as chief executive of the Annenberg Foundation for 16 years. The nonprofit organization has donated about $1.5 billion to thousands of organizations in Southern California. Her father started the foundation after selling his publishing empire, including TV Guide and a slew of other publications, to Rupert Murdoch's News Corp in 1989. Walter Annenberg died in 2002.

Slight decline in Fentanyl deaths in St. Tammany, Washington Parishes
ST. TAMMANY PARISH, La. (WGNO) — The District Attorney of St. Tammany and Washington parishes said there's been a slight decline in overdose deaths. However, it's still the top cause of overdoses. DA Collin Sims discussed the latest successes and goals of the Opioid Initiative Task Force. Sims said they arrested a man in the Hammond area allegedly responsible for nearly half of Fentanyl sold on the Northshore. New Orleans police investigating two fatal shootings near St. Roch Thursday morning Sims said he wants to prosecute more street level dealers for murder when they sell drugs related to an overdose death. 'And the hardest thing for us is when we don't have the evidence where it comes from, and you're left with someone's relative or loved one that's dead, and you can't go after the guy that did it,' Sims said. 'The worse part of this job is when you can't do that.' Sims said many people who die from overdoses have multiple drugs in their bloodstream and many use multiple dealers. Investigators must prove which drug caused the death and who supplied Posts New Orleans at-large candidates debate worker rights, city issues at forum Summer storms come back on Friday Favorite FQ restaurant may be forced to close Eastbank uses monster comeback to beat Mississippi in LLBWS Southwest Regional opener New Louisiana license plates showcasing the arts now available Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
