Authorities, community team up to find missing New London, Minnesota, man
Aug. 19---- A 76-year-old man was treated and later released after a drone located him Monday evening in a wooded area in rural Sunburg. According to a news release from the the man was out checking deer stands with his 77-year-old friend from when their all-terrain vehicle became stuck.

'Law and Order' President Trump Just Forced a Cop to Self-Deport
The Department of Homeland Security blamed local officials in Maine for using the department's federal database to determine the employment eligibility of a police officer who was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement last month, according to NBC News. ICE arrested Old Orchard Beach Police Department reserve Officer Jon Luke Evans late last month, shocking local law enforcement officials who had been told by the federal government that their colleague was permitted to work in the United States. ICE told the Associated Press Monday that Evans, who is originally from Jamaica, would be given the opportunity to voluntarily leave the country immediately. Evans has agreed to leave the United States. As Donald Trump ramps up his purported crackdown on crime in the nation's capital (and elsewhere), the removal of a law enforcement officer strikes a particularly ironic note—but Evans's removal hits on yet another crucial issue. Old Orchard Beach had previously confirmed Evans's immigration status by using E-Verify, DHS's online system for employers to quickly certify whether a potential employee can legally work legally in the U.S. based on records at the Social Security Administration and DHS. But apparently that's not good enough for the Trump administration. Assistant Secretary of Homeland Security Tricia McLaughlin accused Old Orchard Beach of 'reckless reliance' on her own department's program, according to NBC News. Critics of the program had said that it's easy to fool the E-Verify system with fake I-9 documents and stolen IDs. But employers have few alternatives to E-Verify. Nine states have even implemented laws requiring private-sector employers to use the fast and free program. Some opponents to the program have said that stricter enforcement could lead to discrimination and worker shortages. In the wake of Trump's sweeping deportation scheme, employers who use E-Verify have not been spared from immigration raids. In June, a food-packaging company in Omaha saw more than half of its workforce arrested, though the employer said he'd used E-Verify to check the work status of all of his employees. DHS recently added a new tool to notify employers when someone's employment authorization is revoked and must be reverified. If employees cannot provide new evidence of valid employment authorization, they will be terminated immediately. Solve the daily Crossword

TREMONTON, Utah (ABC4) — The alleged shooter in an incident that left two officers dead and another injured in Tremonton on Sunday used a high-powered rifle in the killings, court documents state. The suspect, identified as Ryan Bate, 32, has been arrested on two counts of aggravated murder (capital murder), attempted aggravated murder (first-degree felony), and assault (class-B misdemeanor). Just before 9:20 p.m. on Aug. 17, Tremonton police officers responded to a domestic violence call on the 700 North block of 200 East in Tremonton. Upon arrival, Bate, who was armed with a high-powered rifle, opened fire on two officers. Both officers died as a result of their injuries. A Box Elder County deputy responded to a call for backup and was shot while inside his vehicle, sustaining serious but non-life-threatening injuries. His police service K-9, who was located in the rear compartment of the vehicle, was also shot and sustained serious but non-life-threatening injuries.

Bate has a history of domestic violence, according to court documents, and was arrested on May 8, 2024, due to a domestic violence incident. Charges are allegations only.
