Dem county executive dings Trump admin over sanctuary jurisdiction designation
In a statement responding to the inclusion of Montgomery County Maryland on a list of sanctuary jurisdictions in the U.S., County Executive Marc Elrich accused the Trump administration of seeking to criminalize immigrants and "create fear." President Donald Trump issued an executive order calling for a list of sanctuary jurisdictions. DHS issued the list on Thursday, the department noted in a post on X. "We are not in violation of federal law, and we will not be making changes based on political headlines. Montgomery County has always cooperated with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in cases involving violent crimes, serious felonies, and threats to public safety. That has been and remains our policy," Elrich said in his statement. Leadership Shake-up Coming At Ice, Homeland Security Investigations, Sources Say "This designation, like many other actions taken by this administration, is about criminalizing immigrants, not protecting public safety. We will not be complicit in efforts to stigmatize or target our immigrant communities," the Democrat declared. "These types of announcements are designed to create fear. But we do not govern by fear in Montgomery County. We govern by the law and by our values." U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) announced the arrest of an MS-13 member in a press release earlier this month, noting multiple instances of the Montgomery County Detention Center failing to honor immigration detainers for the individual over the years, including just last month. Read On The Fox News App "The Montgomery County Circuit Court in Rockville convicted Amaya of attempted motor vehicle theft April 4, and sentenced him to three years of confinement with two years, five months and 11 days suspended," the release noted of Salvadoran national Nelson Vladimir Amaya-Benitez. "On April 18, the Montgomery County Detention Center again declined to honor ICE's immigration detainer and released Amaya from custody." Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd Names Obstacles In Detaining Migrants Under Trump's Immigration Policies Montgomery County Department of Correction and Rehabilitation Director Ben Stevenson acknowledged the "error." "This individual met the criteria we use to notify and coordinate with ICE due to a prior felony conviction and validated gang membership in the DOCR records. We failed to make this notification. We take full responsibility for this error," he said in a statement. "Montgomery County has stated consistently that we cooperate with ICE in cases involving individuals convicted of violent crimes, verified gang members, drug distributors & traffickers and other felony convictions. That policy remains in place." Trump Administration Sets New Goal Of 3,000 Illegal Immigrant Arrests Daily Elrich said during a media briefing that "we goofed on our part. We did not make a policy decision to let this person go." The Trump administration has been aiming to crackdown on illegal immigration and is seeking to remove many individuals from the country after massive numbers of people flowed across the U.S. border during President Joe Biden's article source: Dem county executive dings Trump admin over sanctuary jurisdiction designation

MLB News: Cubs Dealt Huge Injury Blow
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Half of the Chicago Cubs' productive catching tandem is expected to be out at least a month as a result of an injury, manager Craig Counsell told reporters on Tuesday. Miguel Amaya is expected to be out 4 to 6 weeks with an oblique strain. Amaya, who underwent an MRI after suffering the injury, is slashing .280/.313/.505 this season. Expected to be the starter coming into the season, Amaya had ceded time to Carson Kelly, who is among the most surprising offensive forces in baseball this season. Kelly, 30, is slashing .301/.425/.612 in his 10th major league season. Still, losing Amaya until at least the All-Star break is a big blow to the top team in the National League Central as they look to keep both their catchers fresh for what promises to be an exciting stretch run in Chicago. More to come on this story from Newsweek Sports.

Cubs catcher Miguel Amaya will be placed on injured list due to left oblique strain
Associated Press CINCINNATI (AP) — Miguel Amaya will be placed on the injured list after the Chicago Cubs catcher suffered a left oblique strain during Saturday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. Manager Craig Counsell said after the 6-4 loss that Amaya will undergo imaging testing in Chicago on Monday or Tuesday. Amaya sustained the injury during the fifth inning on a throw when Reds shortstop Elly De La Cruz stole second base. 'It was my normal throw to second base but it felt weird there,' Amaya said after the game. 'I felt discomfort. I tried to throw again and sadly couldn't keep in the game. It's sad I am going to be out, I don't know how long. We will wait for the results and see what is going on in there." Amaya was once one of the Cubs' top prospects before having Tommy John surgery on his right elbow in 2021 followed by a high ankle sprain and Lisfranc fracture in his left foot one year later. Amaya is batting .286 with four home runs and 25 RBIs in 27 games. He has been splitting time with Carson Kelly behind the plate. 'He's played well, swung the bat really well. He has a number of big hits and we'll hope for the best,' Counsell said about Amaya. Kelly came into the game and had two hits, including a home run off the left-field foul pole to lead off the ninth inning. Kelly is batting .301 and has nine home runs, which is third among big-league catchers. Moises Ballesteros or Reese McGuire will likely be called up. Ballesteros is one of the top prospects in the Cubs' organization and went 3 for 16 with three RBIs during a recent stint in the majors. McGuire came back to the Cubs earlier this week on a minor-league deal after being released recently. ___ AP MLB: recommended
