Activists say southeast Michigan police raids are targeting pro-Palestinian protesters
The FBI and other law enforcement agencies executed search warrants Wednesday morning at homes in Ann Arbor, Ypsilanti and Canton Township, in what one activist group says are raids targeting pro-Palestinian protesters. Investigators say the raids are not immigration related. Gaza War protesters have clashed with police over other activities. Some who were arrested last year at an encampment on the Diag at the University of Michigan are waiting to learn if they will stand trial on felony charges in Washtenaw County. Police also are investigating a series of attacks on the homes of U-M regents and Provost Laurie McCauley that were marked by anti-Israel and pro-Palestinian graffiti. Detroit FBI office spokesman Jordan Hall confirmed his agency was present in Ypsilanti, but declined to elaborate on the reason, saying only it was for "law enforcement activity." He also said the Michigan Attorney General's Office is handling the case. Danny Wimmer, press secretary for Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel, confirmed that investigators executed search warrants in all three places. He said that multiple people were briefly detained during the execution of the warrants, but they were all released. When asked whether the searches are tied to the attacks on U-M regents' homes, he would only say: "We will not be discussing the nature of the investigation at this time." He noted that "there is no immigration enforcement angle to the execution of these search warrants." The TAHRIR Coalition, a pro-Palestinian student group that has demanded that the University of Michigan divest from Israel, said in a statement that the raids happened about 8 a.m. "FBI agents, the Michigan State Police, and local police officers in unmarked vehicles arrived at the homes of University of Michigan pro-Palestine activists across Ann Arbor, Ypsilanti, and Canton," the statement said. The statement said that at the Ypsilanti home, the officers briefly detained four people and confiscated personal belongings. At the Ann Arbor home, officers confiscated electronics and detained two people before releasing them. No one was detained in Canton, the statement said.

"This is an alarming escalation by the university and state," the post said. Protests against the Gaza War have raged on U-M's campus for more than a year. The school has suspended one activist group, Students Allied for Freedom and Equality (SAFE). The university's response to the protests has prompted lawsuits from students and others who claim the school violated their constitutional rights.

Teenage virtuoso Kim Sae-hyun wins Long-Thibaud-Crespin Competition
South Korean pianist Kim Sae-hyun has won the Long-Thibaud-Crespin Competition, the Kumho Asiana Cultural Foundation said Monday. The 17-year-old virtuoso performed Rachmaninoff's Concerto No. 3, Op. 30, with the Orchestra of the Republican Guard, conducted by Bastien Stil, in the final round Saturday, competing against four other finalists. Kim made his debut in 2018 through the Kumho Prodigy Concert. In July 2023, he claimed the First Prize, Audience Prize and Junior Jury Prize at the Cleveland International Piano Competition for Young Artists. Most recently, he was also named a 2024 YoungArts Winner with Distinction in Classical Music (Piano). Kim has performed at prestigious venues, including Jordan Hall, Salle Cortot, Seoul Arts Center and Yamaha Hall Ginza, over the past decade, appearing as a soloist with the Canton Symphony and Korean Symphony orchestras. Currently, the pianist is enrolled in the Harvard/NEC dual degree program, where he is simultaneously pursuing a Bachelor of Arts at Harvard College and a Master of Music at the New England Conservatory. Established in 1943 by pianist Marguerite Long and violinist Jacques Thibaud, the international classical competition is held triennially in France. Previous winners of the piano competition include Lim Dong-hyek in 2001 and Lee Hyuk, who was a co-winner in 2022. (Yonhap)

Only Good-Looking Person In Office Mingles With Hideous Coworkers Like Missionary Among Lepers
CHICAGO—Showing a graciousness and magnanimity that the rest of the world has denied these pariahs and rejects, Jordan Hall, the only good-looking person in the office, was reportedly mingling Wednesday with his hideous coworkers like a missionary among lepers. Several reports indicated that the handsome and fit Hall was drinking and eating alongside the outcasts without a care for the skin rashes that might pass to him, and he even mercifully accepted a pen from one of them as a humble gift. As he walked amongst the unwashed masses in his office like a Jesuit missionary engaging with pustule-covered natives, Hall is also said to have helped fostered a sense of community by leading the pale and sickly employees to a local bar and regaling them with stories of a better world, all the while knowing just how doomed they really were. At press time, sources confirmed Hall had left for a better offer at a larger company, leaving behind a cable-knit cardigan that the unsightly workers embraced as a style icon.
