White House names Pennsylvania cities, counties sanctuary jurisdictions 'defying' immigration law
(WHTM) – The White House on Friday released a list of hundreds of 'sanctuary jurisdictions' allegedly breaking immigration law. Eleven Pennsylvania counties were listed, including Adams and Dauphin counties in the Midstate. Allegheny, Centre, Chester, Clarion, Delaware, Lehigh, Montgomery, Montour, and Northampton counties were also cited on the list. Close Thanks for signing up! Watch for us in your inbox. Subscribe Now Five cities were also named on the list published by the Department of Homeland Security: Gettysburg, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, State College, and York. Dauphin County Commissioner Justin Douglas (D) said Friday afternoon that he'd received no formal communication regarding the list. 'I have a lot of questions of what qualifies us as a sanctuary county,' said Douglas. 'I'm not sure there's any actual legislation that we've passed of any kind. I don't know what the criteria they're using for what they're considering a sanctuary county is.' The Department of Homeland Security says the list was generated as part of 'Executive Order 14287: Protecting American Communities from Criminal Aliens.' 'Sanctuary jurisdictions including cities, counties, and states that are deliberately and shamefully obstructing the enforcement of federal immigration laws endangering American communities,' said Homeland Security. 'Sanctuary cities protect dangerous criminal aliens from facing consequences and put law enforcement in peril.' Homeland Security says each jurisdiction will receive 'formal notification of its non-compliance' and will be asked to review policies to align with federal law. Douglas says he has 'more questions than answers' regarding the list, but insisted that 'Dauphin County follows the law and will continue to do that.' According to Nexstar's Border Report, 'the list will be used by the Office of Management and Budget to determine which is receiving federal funding before terminating the grants.'

Man found dead in home with no AC, GA cops say. Goddaughter accused of neglect
The goddaughter of a man found dead in an Atlanta-area home has been charged with neglect, Georgia police said. Authorities accused Rachel Ward, 62, of 'willfully depriving' Earl Sylvester Douglas of adequate health care and shelter before his death, according to an arrest affidavit obtained by McClatchy News. Douglas was reportedly kept in filthy living conditions at the home, which police said didn't have working air conditioning. Officers were called around 4:30 a.m. Wednesday, May 28, about an 'unresponsive male' at the home in Marietta, Cobb County Police said in a May 29 news release. The victim, later identified as Douglas, was pronounced dead. Authorities couldn't confirm Douglas's age but described him as 'elderly.' Ward identified herself as his goddaughter, a police spokesperson told McClatchy News, and the affidavit said she had been his caregiver since 2011. Authorities said Ward didn't seek medical attention for her godfather when he fell ill and his bed sores became infected. As he began losing a 'significant' amount of weight, Ward failed to give him 'adequate nutrition' to keep him healthy, according to police. In addition to the lack of air conditioning, authorities said Ward didn't clean Douglas's room or bed and left him soiled. McClatchy News reached out to the Cobb County Medical Examiner's Office for more information May 30 and was awaiting a response. Ward was arrested and remained in custody at the Cobb County Adult Detention Center without bond as of Friday, online records show. Marietta is about a 20-mile drive northwest from downtown Atlanta.

Sydney Sweeney is selling soap that contains her actual bathwater
Sydney Sweeney fans can now lather up with the actor's bathwater in a limited-edition soap made by men's natural body wash brand Dr. Squatch. The Emmy-nominated star, who rose to fame on the HBO series "Euphoria," appeared soaking in a bathtub in a viral Dr. Squatch commercial in October, inspiring the new product release. "You kept asking about my bathwater after the @drsquatch ad… so we kept it," Sweeney wrote in the caption of a joint Instagram post with the company announcing the product. "Sydney's Bathwater Bliss" will be available on the Dr. Squatch website for a limited time starting at 12 p.m. on June 6, selling at $8 a bar. The product's description says it is a "perfect combination of the two best places on the planet: The outdoors and Sydney Sweeney's bathtub." Made with sand, sea salt and shea butter, Sweeney's bathwater is listed as the "narrative element" on the ingredient list, which calls it "one of nature's fines aphrodisiacs." The soap's 'morning wood' scent blends pine, Douglas fir and earthy moss with a 'touch' of actress's bathwater. 'Why? Because y'all wouldn't stop asking,' the company stated in an Instagram post on Thursday announcing a giveaway of the product. The company also shared some "wild fan mail" they received from fans in on social media Friday, including requests for Sweeney's bathwater to water bonsai trees or use as eye drops. 'When your fans start asking for your bathwater, you can either ignore it, or turn it into a bar of Dr. Squatch soap,' the 27-year-old actor said in a release, NBC Washington reported. The product drew a mixed reaction from fans in her Instagram comments, with many criticizing the star's soap and calling it "disgusting," and others expressing their disbelief. The actress stood by her new soap in the release, calling it "weird in the best way" and an "unforgettable" product. "This bar is bizarre, unexpected, and meant to get guys thinking more deeply about what they're putting on their bodies," John Ludeke, senior vice president of global marketing for Dr. Squatch, said in the release.

Dublin man accused of pulling shotgun out of tracksuit bottoms in McDonald's raid
Craig Douglas (24) of Belclare Park, Ballymun, Dublin is charged with robbery, dangerous driving and Garda obstruction. An armed robber went to a McDonald's, pulled a shotgun out of his tracksuit bottoms and pointed it at staff while people were buying their morning coffee and breakfast, it is alleged. Craig Douglas (24) is accused of carrying out a 'broad daylight' raid at the fast food restaurant in Dublin yesterday, leaving staff traumatised before speeding dangerously off in a getaway car. He was refused bail at Dublin District Court this afternoon and was remanded in custody to next week, for DPP directions. Mr Douglas, of Belclare Park, Ballymun, Dublin is charged with robbery, dangerous driving and garda obstruction. The court heard he is denying the allegations. Craig Douglas (24) News in 90 Seconds - May 30th Objecting to bail, a Garda told Judge John King the robbery happened at McDonald's, Gulliver's Retail Park, Northwood, Santry yesterday when a man entered the restaurant and 'calmly' sat down for a few minutes until customers left. He then approached the counter, took a shotgun from his tracksuit bottoms and pointed it at staff, robbing the till which had no money in it. The robber fled the scene in a car that had been stolen elsewhere earlier that morning. He drove out, crashed into a metal barrier and continued on to St Margaret's Road where he sped, undertaking traffic. The getaway car was later found in St Margaret's Halting site and when gardai arrived, they saw Mr Douglas in the back seat of another car. It was alleged he violently resisted arrest. Gardai found the keys of the getaway vehicle in the car he had been in. It was alleged a tshirt and runners he was wearing were distinctive and matched those worn by the robbery suspect. A tracksuit was seized from a caravan. In her objections, the garda cited the level of violence used in the robbery, the fear it caused and the fact that it was a 'busy public location.' 'It happened in broad daylight where members of the public were present, buying their morning coffee and breakfast,' the garda said. The shotgun had not been found and the garda feared the accused could have possession of it if released on bail. Gardai were relieved that nobody was injured despite the 'dangerous crime spree,' the court heard. Restaurant staff were traumatised and the accused 'seems to have zero remorse,' the garda said. Applying for bail, defence solicitor Matthew De Courcy said Mr Douglas was presumed innocent, his position was 'he didn't do this' and he made no admissions in interview. Mr De Courcy said the man in the CCTV had his face covered and gardai were effectively identifying him by his clothing. The defence would say the clothes were not distinctive, but were 'generic' and the link to his client was 'tenuous.' Mr Douglas was found in a different location in a different car. Mr Douglas was living with his family, 'upskilling' on a construction course and was 'a young man with a bright future,' Mr De Courcy said. Judge King refused bail and remanded him in custody to appear in Cloverhill District Court on June 4.
