Trump asks US Supreme Court to lift limits on immigration raids
The Justice Department asked the Supreme Court in an emergency filing to lift the judge's order temporarily barring agents from stopping or detaining people without "reasonable suspicion" that they are in the country illegally, by relying solely on their race or ethnicity, or if they speak Spanish or English with an accent. The judge's order applied to her court's jurisdiction over much of Southern California.

Three more victims of 9/11 identified by DNA
Three more victims of the 9/11 attacks have been identified using DNA analysis. Officials in New York City named the individuals as Ryan Fitzgerald of Floral Park, New York, and Barbara Keating of Palm Springs, California. Another individual, an adult woman, was identified also but her details were withheld at the request of her family. News that the 1,651st, 1,652nd and 1,653rd victims have been positively identified 24 years after the Al-Qaeda attacks on New York and Washington DC, highlighted the fact that a little more than half of the 2,753 people killed that day have not been. 'The pain of losing a loved one in the September 11th terror attacks echoes across the decades, but with these three new identifications, we take a step forward in comforting the family members still aching from that day,' said Mayor Eric Adams. He added: 'As a former law enforcement officer who served our city on 9/11, I understand deeply the feeling of loss so many families have experienced. We hope the families receiving answers from the Office of Chief Medical Examiner can take solace in the city's tireless dedication to this mission.' New York media said Fitzgerald, 26, was working as a currency trader at Fiduciary Trust International in the south tower of the World Trade Centre. Fitzgerald's mother, Diane Parks, said he had recently moved to New York City. When she saw his credit card bill after his death, she realised he had been enjoying his new-found independence, buying clothes at Banana Republic and presents for his girlfriend. In an article by the New York Times, Ms Parks said he had told her of his intention to attend a friend's bachelor party in Las Vegas. She said that at the time, she advised him against it, but she was glad he went. ''It made me feel good that he enjoyed the summer because it was the last summer of his life,' she said. Keating, who was aged 72 and a grandmother, was onboard the American Airlines Flight 11 that left Boston and was due to head to Los Angeles when the jet was seized by the hijackers. After her death, Paul Keating, one of her five sons, said in an obituary she was 'smart, tough, professional and funny'. Keating spent more than 25 years in public service, much of it with the non-profit Big Brothers Big Sisters of South Middlesex, outside of Boston. Her family said she had been widowed 20 years before she lost her life and had divided her time between Cape Cod, Mass and California. In Palm Springs, she drove a red convertible and attended church every day. 'Nearly 25 years after the disaster at the World Trade Center, our commitment to identify the missing and return them to their loved ones stands as strong as ever,' Chief Medical Examiner Ryan Graham said. 'Each new identification testifies to the promise of science and sustained outreach to families despite the passage of time. We continue this work as our way of honouring the lost.' Sharon Premoli, a 9/11 survivor who was on the 80th floor of the north tower, told The Telegraph that identifying victims was important because it gives families closure. 'While I did not lose a family member on 9/11, I know from having spoken to some who have yet to get a definitive identification, that to them, their loved one has disappeared,' Ms Premoli said. 'That disappearance has to exacerbate a grief that may never subside. Losing a child, a spouse or partner, or a sibling with no remains prevents any kind of closure.'

Capturing Their Killer: The Girls on the High Bridge Review – An intriguing & perplexing docu-series
Season 1 Episode Guide Episode 1: 'Missing in Delphi' Episode 2: 'Evil Among Us' Episode 3: 'A Killer in Focus' True Crime documentaries often have a way of re-invigorating interest in viewers about a crime that may have occurred decades ago. One recent documentary series that does just this is the new ABC & Hulu original – Capturing their Killer: The Girls on the High Bridge. The show is a 3-episode docuseries detailing the gruesome murders of Abigail 'Abby' Williams and Liberty 'Libby' German. The show details how the two teen girls went on a walk in the small and close-knit town of Delphi, Indiana in February of 2017, which led to their tragic murders. The 7-year-long trial eventually culminates with a conviction – one that has the internet, media and the people of Delphi divided. The show follows the lives of the 13-year-old girls and interviews the people close to them in order to get an insight into their lives before the murder. Along with that, the documentary also features the spouse of the convicted, who maintain a plea of wrongful conviction. For those who are unaware of the case, I won't spoil who that is here! The show is an interesting watch as it also features multiple accounts from internet sleuths and investigative journalists who share their two-cents about the crime and the possible culprits. The show also glosses over the theory that the murders are connected to a cult practice. This detail proves pivotal, leaving audiences second-guessing whether the convicted was truly guilty. Capturing the Killer: The Girls on the High Bridge highlights the impact of crimes committed in the era of the internet too. A simple Snapchat video captured by one of the victims before their death is scrutinized over and over again, prompting internet sleuths to confidently proclaim they can do a better job at solving the crime compared to the authorities. The show plays out as a tragic retelling of the gruesome crime that changed the lives of Abby and Libby's families. However, it also highlights the impact of her husband's arrest on Kathy Allen's life. The documentary culminates on an open-ended note, leaving audiences divided on their feelings at the end. On one hand, the family and friends of Abigail German and Liberty Williams, the prosecution, some investigative journalists and internet sleuths believe that victims have seen justice. On the other hand, the convicted's supporters believe that this person was wrongfully sentenced for a crime that they could never imagine committing. The documentary leaves things open and challenges audiences to make their own mind up. Overall though, Capturing the Killer: The Girls on the High Bridge is an interesting watch, remaining unbiased throughout. Instead, it provides viewers with a clear picture of the crime that was committed, leaving them to decide on the fairness of the conviction.
