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

Justices asked to prevent ‘immigration dragnet' ensnaring citizens in roving Trump patrols
The Trump administration recently told the Supreme Court that a California judge's order put law enforcement in a 'straitjacket.' But plaintiffs who won that lower court order have urged the high court to keep it in place, arguing that lifting it would bless an 'immigration dragnet' ensnaring millions of people in the Los Angeles area — including U.S. citizens — based on how they look and speak, and where they work and congregate. U.S. District Judge Maame Ewusi-Mensah Frimpong issued the temporary restraining order against the government on July 11. The Biden appointee said the individuals and groups that sued, which include U.S. citizens, would likely succeed in proving that the government is 'conducting roving patrols without reasonable suspicion and denying access to lawyers.' For now, she said, the government can't rely solely on any combination of the following four factors to make stops: apparent race or ethnicity; speaking Spanish or accented English; presence at a particular location, like a day laborer pickup area; or one's type of work. After a federal appeals court panel declined to intervene on the administration's behalf, U.S. Solicitor General John Sauer turned to the Supreme Court for help in lifting the order, which he said 'defies blackletter Fourth Amendment law, imposing a straitjacket on law-enforcement efforts that is inimical to the context- and case-specific totality-of-the-circumstances inquiry that this Court's precedents demand.' Opposing emergency high court relief, the plaintiffs countered that the judge's order 'broke no new legal ground,' and that it 'does not prevent the government from enforcing the immigration laws, conducting consensual encounters, or relying on any or all of the four factors along with other facts to form reasonable suspicion.' They further wrote that the administration's 'extraordinary claim that it can get very close to justifying a seizure of any Latino person in the Central District [of California] because of the asserted number of Latino people there who are not legally present is anathema to the Constitution.' The administration can file a final reply brief the justices, after which we will learn whether this will be the latest instance of the high court saving the administration from a lower court loss in President Donald Trump's second term.
