Bystanders praised as heroes after rescuing 8-year-old from Stansbury Lake
The Tooele County Sheriff's Office said a group of girls were practicing swimming in the lake on Wednesday evening, May 7, when two of them began struggling in the water. One of the two girls was able to make it back to shore on her own, but the other needed help.
One bystander jumped into the lake and pulled the young girl out of the water and, along with a second bystander, performed CPR. After a few moments, the Tooele County Sheriff's Office said the girl became responsive, was talking and alert.
Emergency medical personnel arrived on scene and evaluated the young girl, eventually taking her to a local area hospital for further care.
'The Tooele County Sheriff's Office would like to extend sincere appreciation to the two individuals whose swift actions helped save this young girl's life,' the Sheriff's Office said in a media release posted to social media. 'Their willingness to step in without hesitation undoubtedly made a critical difference in today's outcome.'
Replies from community members to the sheriff's office post praised the two bystanders, with one commenter saying, 'Not all heroes wear capes.'
Another commenter said, 'They should be rewarded by the community. Stepping up instead of recording it on one's phone is something we should all encourage.'

State Department revokes over 6K student visas, including hundreds for ‘support for terrorism'
The US State Department has revoked thousands of student visas — most of them for overstays and various law violations ranging from DUIs and assaults to supporting terrorist organizations, including Hamas. The visas were pulled amid President Trump's ongoing crackdown on illegal immigrants and foreign-born college students, particularly those who have expressed support for terror groups. The State Department revoked thousands of student visas this week, most of them due to the holder breaking the law while in the US. AFP via Getty Images Advertisement Of the 6,000 rescinded student visas, around 4,000 were because the holder broke the law, a department spokesman told The Post, with the 'vast majority' of the crimes committed included assault, DUI and burglary. Around 800 of the revocations were due to the visa holder being arrested or charged with assault, an official told Fox News Digital, which first reported the news. Troublingly, approximately 200 to 300 of the visas were revoked for 'support for terrorism' — the department said, citing 'INA 3B,' a section of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) pertaining to activities that justify the State Department denying someone a visa, such as 'inciting terrorist activity' and 'providing material support to terrorists.' Advertisement The department did not elaborate on how specifically those whose visas were being revoked were supporting terrorism; however, the official reportedly said they had engaged in behaviors such as 'raising funds for the militant group Hamas.' 'Every single student visa revoked under the Trump Administration has happened because the individual has either broken the law or expressed support for terrorism while in the United States,' a senior State Department official told the outlet. 'About 4,000 visas alone have been revoked because these visitors broke the law while visiting our country, including records of assault and DUIs.' The department said 200 to 300 students whose visas were yanked were taken due to 'support for terrorism.' Robert Miller Advertisement International students have come under intense scrutiny under the Trump administration. Secretary of State Marco Rubio ordered US embassies and consulates in May to put the brakes on any student visa interviews. When they resumed the following month, the administration said all future applicants would be told to make their social media profiles public. The department said this helped officials scrutinize prospective applicants for 'any indications of hostility towards the citizens, culture, government, institutions or founding principles of the United States,' according to a diplomatic cable sent by the State Department to embassies and consulates at the time. President Trump is also currently in a pitched court battle with Harvard University over his desire to strip the elite school of its ability to enroll foreign students. The administration has so far yanked around 40,000 visas, compared to 16,000 during the same time period under former President Joe Biden.

D.C. Restaurants Try to Keep Calm and Carry On as More Military Troops Roll In
It's only week two of President Donald Trump's so-called crime crackdown in D.C., and the city is already a chaotic spectacle — and the situation is clearly spooking some customers from coming out to dine and drink during what is normally an already sluggish month for businesses. Chef Lincoln Fuge, who runs Present Company Public House in Chinatown, calls the federal response 'overkill.' He continues, 'We don't need National Guard troops from any state to be posted here. We are not perfect, but we are not a lawless dystopia that needs a military presence.' During his Oval Office meeting with the Ukrainian president on Monday, Trump claimed the federal takeover had already made the city feel safer. The administration cites 450 arrests made so far. 'People who haven't gone out to dinner in Washington D.C. in two years are going out to dinner,' said Trump, claiming that restaurants are 'busier than they've been in a long time.' The numbers say otherwise. D.C. restaurant reservations have seen the sharpest fall among 20 large cities in America so far in August, per OpenTable numbers crunched by WUSA9. The study reported that the number of year-over-year diners dipped by 31 percent on Wednesday — two days after Trump ordered the National Guard to patrol Washington — and was also down every day after that. On Monday, August 18, online reservations dipped by 22 percent. The timing could not be worse for D.C.'s biannual Metropolitan Washington Restaurant Week, which started on August 18 and runs through August 24, with a record 380 participants offering three-course deals to boost slower summer sales. Many opt to extend their deals into the following week. Federal agents walking along a row of Maine Avenue restaurants at the Wharf on Monday, August 18. Leo Lee The industry nonprofit group Restaurant Association Metropolitan Washington (RAMW) tells Eater it's 'aware' of the OpenTable statistics that show a drop in reservations following the federal takeover announcement. 'Our members are concerned about the perception this creates, but we are cautiously optimistic that reservations will increase during Restaurant Week,' says RAMW, in a provided statement. The president's takeover is designed to reportedly address what he calls out-of-control crime in D.C., despite data from the Metropolitan Police Department showing violent crime at a historic 30-year low in the city. Over the weekend, agents from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), U.S. Park Police, and members of the National Guard were seen out in full force. Monday night around 10 p.m. at the Wharf, Eater spotted six DEA-marked agents loitering outside of a deserted Hank's Oyster Bar (which is closed on Mondays). Protestors rally at Dupont Circle before marching to the White House on Saturday, August 16. Getty Images 'You know it doesn't make sense,' D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser told reporters during a Monday press conference. 'The numbers on the ground in the District don't support a thousand people from other states coming to Washington, D.C.' Meaghaan Tolman, the director of operations at Detroit-style pizza bar Red Light, sums up the downtown mood as 'super somber,' especially on her restaurant's 14th Street corridor. The go-to industry hot spot typically slings square slices and shots until 1 a.m. on weekdays. But on Wednesday night, when federal agents set up lit-up checkpoints on the nightlife strip, Red Light's business completely died down after 8 p.m. — leaving her no choice but to cancel its weekly karaoke party. 'We had nothing [Wednesday] night,' she says. 'No one was there. It was a ghost town.' Khalid Pitts, who co-owns Cork Wine Bar down the street, agrees the extra policing is a turn-off. 'They're making their presence felt and not in a way that makes people feel safe,' says Pitts. Bars at the nexus of 14th and U streets — a prime nightlife corridor currently being patrolled by federal officers — are especially feeling the burn. Crush Dance Bar, the LGBTQ+-friendly hangout with a popular back patio, saw a 50-percent drop in Friday sales. 'Washingtonians leaving the city to avoid the chaos on top of a reduction of tourism is crippling small businesses,' co-owner Mark Rutstein told The Advocate. Revolt, a new U Street gay bar with an ironic name for the times, acknowledges its opening weekend (August 22-23) comes during a difficult moment for the industry. 'The heavy police presence has made many in our community feel unsafe,' reads a statement from ownership. 'Amidst the chaos in D.C., our community's safe spaces are hurting. LGBTQ+ venues across the city need our support now more than ever.' Some diners were spotted out and about last night.

Emily Venezky/Eater DC Some restaurants are taking extra steps to protect employees and customers, according to one experience a customer relayed to Eater. At 9:45 p.m. on Sunday night, when Minetta Tavern got word that federal agents were in Union Market, a manager locked the doors and closed the blinds, letting after-dinner guests stay inside to wait for their Ubers. One block away at the corner of 4th and Neal streets, a new mural pays homage to D.C.'s latest celebrity: Sean Charles Dunn, a now-former DOJ employee who went viral after he famously threw a Subway sandwich at a federal officer last week. Banksy-styled graffiti art of a man hurling a sub is now tagged all over the city, and 'Sandwich Guy' sparked a line of T-shirts and Free DC campaign slogans. It remains unclear how the deployment of 1,000 more troops will impact the already tense tone of the town. 'Federal action should build on our progress, not discourage people from going to work or going out to eat,' RAMW tells Eater. 'When seats are empty, the impact is felt by everyone, from servers to cooks, and operators to suppliers.' One of the Restaurant Week participants is British pub Duke's Grocery, which offers $25 lunch and $40 dinner deals to include its famed Proper burger and toffee pudding. 'D.C. thrives when we show up. Now is the time to be present — in our neighborhoods, our local shops, our bars and restaurants, our gyms, dry cleaners, and coffee shops,' owner Daniel Kramer tells Eater. 'We've weathered COVID and government shutdowns, and we'll get through whatever comes next.' —Emily Venezky contributed to this report
