Newly released police bodycam footage shows the moment officers discovered Pennsylvania college student Karoline Heintz dead inside her Jeep, a discovery that led to the arrest of her 18-year-old boyfriend. Royce Moser faces a homicide charge in Heintz’s death. According to court documents, Moser told investigators that he became angry with Heintz during a conversation in her vehicle and that a “demon” took over and told him to stab her. The footage, released Thursday, shows an officer approaching Heintz’s Jeep and discovering her body inside. Police had been searching for the PennWest California University student after her father reported that she had failed to return to campus. An AirTag inside the vehicle helped authorities locate it. Investigators allege Moser placed Heintz’s body in the back of the vehicle and drove it to the university. His mother, 56-year-old Rachel Moser, is accused of helping him cover up the killing by having him change and wash his clothes and attempting to dispose of the knife. Royce and Rachel Moser face charges including tampering with evidence, abuse of a corpse and obstruction of justice. Rachel Moser also faces charges of hindering apprehension and criminal use of a communication device. Both are being held without bail in the Washington County jail and are scheduled for formal arraignment on Oct. 13.

Texas Republicans are increasingly pushing for tighter restrictions on data centers as concerns grow over their impact on electricity costs, water supplies and local communities. Less than a year after Gov. Greg Abbott called Texas the “epicenter of AI development,” the Republican governor is now calling for sweeping new rules as he campaigns for reelection. His proposals would require data centers to pay for their own electric infrastructure, provide or support additional power generation and use water-efficient cooling systems. Abbott also wants to phase out certain tax incentives for the industry. The shift comes amid growing opposition from Texas residents who worry the rapid expansion of artificial intelligence infrastructure could drive up electric and water bills while straining the state’s power grid. Abbott says the goal is not to stop data center development but to ensure companies pay their own way and do not pass infrastructure costs onto Texas families. Several major operators have already agreed to comply with the governor’s standards. The debate highlights a growing political challenge for Republicans as Texas tries to remain a major destination for AI investment while addressing concerns from voters about the industry’s impact on their communities.

This discussion delves into the complex issue of crime rates among different immigrant groups in the United States. It highlights the contrasting crime statistics between legal immigrants and undocumented immigrants. While legal immigrants tend to commit crimes at significantly lower rates, possibly due to their desire to maintain legal status, the situation is different for undocumented immigrants. The conversation points to data suggesting that illegal immigrants commit crimes at a notably higher rate than legal residents, especially in states like New York. This disparity raises questions about the broader implications of immigration policies and their impact on crime rates and public safety. The discussion also touches on personal stories of tragedy and frustration, emphasizing the human impact of these policy decisions.

PLYMOUTH, Mass. (AP) — The deadlocked jury in the Lindsay Clancy trial has gone home again without a verdict. The sixth day of deliberations Thursday saw her defense lawyer tell the judge that the panel’s foreperson said in a note that a single juror won’t follow the court's instructions about reasonable doubt, and is holding up a verdict. The jury will return Friday to see if they can reach a decision on whether the Massachusetts mother is criminally responsible for killing her three children. Clancy does not deny she did it, but argues that postpartum psychosis led to her actions. This is the first time the jury indicated there might be tension or acrimony in the deliberation room.

WASHINGTON, Sept 2 (Reuters) - The FBI said on Wednesday it was investigating a report that tens of millions of drivers' licenses belonging to people in the United States and Canada were being sold on the dark web. On Tuesday, the independent journalist Brian Krebs said he had discovered a dark web site selling digital scans of millions of drivers' licenses from people in the U.S. and Canada. He said he confirmed the authenticity of the data being sold with nine people. In a brief statement on Wednesday, the bureau said it was “looking into the incident” but could not comment “due to the ongoing nature of the investigation.” The breach, if confirmed, could be one of the largest-ever exposures of government-issued identity documents in North America, creating risks of identity theft and fraud for tens of millions of people. Krebs said he was alerted to the site after it was advertised on a Russian cybercrime forum, with his own driver's license being offered as a free sample. Krebs said the service, dubbed Nexus, claimed to have tens of millions of licenses for people in the U.S. and Canada, as well as millions of other identification cards and travel documents and hundreds of thousands of medical records. Krebs said that the site appeared to be updating its database of stolen data in real time, indicating that it was being fed by a live breach. Zach Edwards, a threat researcher at the cybersecurity company Infoblox, said the incident was unprecedented in terms of its sweep. "There's never been a breach of driver's licenses at this scale," said Edwards, who added that his own license was available for sale on the site. Edwards said that the ongoing nature of the breach "means that this attack created legitimate national security risks for high-profile individuals." Reuters could not establish the source of the stolen data. Krebs quoted a representative of New Orleans-based identity verification provider IDScan.net as saying that it was investigating the matter. IDScan.net, which describes itself as providing "ID fraud prevention at scale," did not return repeated messages from Reuters. Krebs said the dark web site offering the driver's license data vanished shortly after he published his report.

A federal judge issued a ruling prohibiting the Trump administration from enforcing an executive order to end birth tourism This is the latest development in the overall debate over whether foreign children born on American soil should be granted automatic citizenship. After the Supreme Court issued a June ruling affirming birthright citizenship, President Donald Trump issued a new executive order last month targeting “birth tourism.” This is a practice in which foreign women travel to the United States to give birth so that their children will be considered American citizens. Immigrant rights advocates immediately filed a lawsuit challenging the order. The White House has not yet responded to the ruling or indicated whether it will appeal it further.

WASHINGTON, Sept 2 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump signed a funding bill on Wednesday to avert a government shutdown before the midterm elections after the legislation was passed by the House of Representatives a day earlier and the Senate in August. The White House said he signed the bill into law. By a vote of 370-48, the House passed the extension of current spending through December 11 on Tuesday. The Senate passed the measure on August 8. The bill will keep federal agencies operating beyond October 1, when existing funds are due to expire with the start of the new fiscal year. The temporary measure was needed because Congress so far has failed to finish work on any of the 12 spending bills that fund government programs for the full fiscal year that runs through September 30, 2027. Those programs range from homeland security and federal law enforcement to energy, housing and defense. Since the beginning of Trump's second term, Congress has been consumed by contentious fights between Republicans who control Congress and the Democratic minority in the House and Senate. The result has been three partial government shutdowns, totaling an unprecedented 161 days, as the two parties fought over health insurance subsidies and checks on federal immigration enforcement. This time, neither Republicans nor Democrats wanted a fourth shutdown hanging over them as they run for re-election, potentially enraging voters who are upset about high prices, the months-long U.S.-Israeli war on Iran that has raised oil and gas costs and tariffs on foreign goods that have hit farmers particularly hard. The stopgap bill fails to address any of the country's major fiscal problems after the national debt crossed the $40 trillion threshold last month; Washington has failed to address voters' top concern of affordability. Furthermore, with the legislation delaying decision-making on spending priorities for another 15 weeks, Congress in December faces a potentially arduous task of writing and passing the 12 full-year spending bills. The results of the November 3 congressional elections - with party control over Congress at stake - will be a major factor in whether Republicans or Democrats have the upper hand in those negotiations.

PLYMOUTH, Mass. (AP) — It's the sixth day of deliberations in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial. A crowd is awaiting a resolution to the case Thursday at the courthouse in Plymouth, Massachusetts. There's no doubt that she killed her three young children. But jurors have twice said they couldn't agree whether the former labor and delivery nurse is criminally responsible. Clancy’s defense blames postpartum psychosis exacerbated by “lousy medical care.” Prosecutors said she intentionally planned the killings and the nation’s health care system was “not on trial here.” Without a verdict, the judge could declare a mistrial.
