DILI, East Timor (AP) — Voters in East Timor are choosing a president in a runoff Tuesday between former independence fighters who’ve blamed each other for years of political paralysis.
Nobel Peace Prize laureate Jose Ramos-Horta had a commanding lead in the first round of voting last month, but failed to secure more than 50% of the vote and avoid the runoff. Ramos-Horta received 46.6%, incumbent President Francisco “Lu Olo” Guterres won 22.1% and the other votes were divided among 14 other candidates in the March 19 election.
Ramos-Horta, 72, and Guterres, 67, were both resistance figures during Indonesia’s occupation of East Timor. More than 76% of the votes last month went to resistance-era figures, showing how much they dominate politics two decades later and despite younger voices emerging.
The winner of their runoff takes office on May 20, the 20th anniversary of the restoration of East Timor’s independence.
Ramos-Horta, East Timor’s president from 2007 to 2012, and Guterres, have blamed each other for years of political paralysis.
In 2018, Guterres refused to swear in nine Cabinet nominees from the National Congress of the Reconstruction of East Timor, known as CNRT, a party led by former prime minister and independence leader Xanana Gusmao, who backed Ramos-Horta’s run for president.
Guterres is from the Revolutionary Front for an Independent East Timor, known by its local acronym Fretilin, which had led resistance to Indonesian rule.
Fretilin says Ramos-Horta is unfit for president, accusing him of causing a crisis as prime minister in 2006, when dozens were killed as political rivalries turned into open conflict on the streets of Dili.
The latest impasse led to the resignation of Prime Minister Taur Matan Ruak in February 2020. But he agreed to stay until a new government is formed and to oversee the response to the coronavirus pandemic. His government has operated without an annual budget and has relied on monthly injections from its sovereign fund savings, called the Petroleum Fund.
During his campaign, Ramos-Horta declared he would call an early parliamentary election if a new majority — based centrally on the CNRT — couldn't be negotiated among the parties in the current parliament. Many are concerned that calling an election early will inflame rather than calm inter-party tensions.
Ramos-Horta’s commanding lead in the first round may yet weaken the current ruling alliance —Fretilin, People's Liberation Party or PLP, and Khunto — in backing Guterres. Ruak's PLP party and the rural-based Khunto party, have publicly committed to continuing their alliance with Fretilin until the 2023 parliamentary elections are due.
The former Portuguese colony was occupied by Indonesia for a quarter century and gained independence after a U.N.-sponsored referendum in 1999. Indonesia’s military responded with scorched-earth attacks that devastated the East Timorese half of the island of Timor.
The transition to a democracy has been rocky, with leaders battling massive poverty, unemployment and corruption. Its economy is reliant on dwindling offshore oil revenues.
Turnout in the March 19 election was 77.26%, or 6% higher than in 2017, the election commission said. Four women were among 16 candidates, the highest number of women taking part in the fifth election since independence. | https://www.chron.com/news/article/East-Timor-votes-for-president-in-runoff-amid-17089323.php | 2022-04-19T01:28:43 | en | 0.969479 |
LAS VEGAS (AP) — The Nevada office of the FBI has a new special agent in charge, with the announcement Monday that Spencer Evans will head the bureau’s Las Vegas field office.
Evans has held various investigative and leadership positions since joining the FBI in 2004 as an agent in New Haven, Connecticut. His most recent post was as deputy assistant director in human resources at FBI Headquarters in Washington.
The announcement by FBI Director Christopher Wray noted that in San Diego, Evans was a crisis negotiator for the bureau and San Diego Police Department. As a supervisory special agent, he served with the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force Fusion Center in Virginia.
In 2014, Evans managed joint terrorism, child exploitation and financial crimes task forces in northwest Florida from the bureau office in Jacksonville.
Evans went to Oklahoma City in 2016, overseeing bureau programs including cyber, intelligence, counterterrorism, counterintelligence, crisis response and community outreach.
In 2019, he was selected as section chief of the FBI headquarters Office of Private Sector.
In Las Vegas, Evans replaces Special Agent in Charge Aaron Rouse, who retired in February after 25 years with the bureau.
Rouse arrived in Las Vegas in 2016 and headed the Nevada field office during the 2017 mass shooting on the Las Vegas Strip that killed 58 people and became the deadliest in modern U.S. history. Two additional deaths later were attributed to the shooting. | https://www.chron.com/news/article/FBI-names-Spencer-Evans-as-new-agent-in-charge-in-17089282.php | 2022-04-19T01:28:49 | en | 0.96469 |

SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — Attorneys for the Republican Party of New Mexico on Monday urged a state district court judge to throw out a congressional map that divvies up the conservative southeast of the state into three congressional districts.
The lawsuit by the GOP and seven allied plaintiffs holds implications for a congressional swing district in southern New Mexico where Republican Yvette Herrell ousted a first-term Democrat in the 2020 election.
GOP attorney Christopher Murray alleged that the congressional map approved in December by the Democratic-led Legislature and signed by the state's Democratic governor is blatantly partisan, dilutes the conservative vote and violates state constitutional rights to impartial government.
He urged the court to throw out the current voting map and implement one of two congressional map proposals endorsed last year by an advisory citizen redistricting committee. The committee's recommendations were not binding.
Attorneys for the Legislature and governor defended the state's new congressional map as properly vetted through the political process and warned the court against intervening and getting mired in a "thicket."
“The political branches worked; they did their job and there is no reason for this court or any court to jump in the middle of it,” Richard Olson said on behalf of the Legislature.
District Judge Fred Van Soelen oversaw the arguments by webcast from a courtroom in Clovis and vowed to rule on the case by Tuesday evening.
State election officials warned that swapping maps now could throw the state's June 7 primary into chaos as clerks this week confront a Saturday deadline to mail absentee ballots to military and overseas voters.
Holly Agajanian, representing Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham, said the Republican Party hasn't adequately explained why it would be more fair to implement a map that wasn't endorsed by the Legislature and governor.
The Republican Party is citing public comments by top Democratic legislators as evidence of partisan bias in decisions about boundaries of the 2nd District in southern New Mexico.
Democrats hold two of New Mexico's three congressional seats, command majorities in the state House and Senate and hold every statewide elected office. | https://www.chron.com/news/article/New-Mexico-GOP-seeks-to-overturn-congressional-map-17089265.php | 2022-04-19T01:28:55 | en | 0.960692 |

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Talking trash about the Kardashians is a common pastime for many ordinary Americans. On Monday, a few got to do it to their faces.
Kim Kardashian, her mother Kris Jenner and her sisters Khloe Kardashian and Kylie Jenner all sat in the front row of a Los Angeles courtroom as prospective jurors aired their feelings about the famous family and the four women, all defendants in a lawsuit brought by Rob Kardashian's former fiancée Blac Chyna.
“Anything that has to do with their names is just a big no for me,” one man said. “I don’t think reality TV is good for society.”
Chyna, whose legal name is Angela White, is suing the Kardashians, alleging they destroyed her television career, and during jury selection her attorney Lynne Ciani asked dozens of candidates their feelings about the plaintiff and defendants, and the reality shows the case stems from.
Another said, “I sincerely hope none of these people get any wealthier because of this."
One woman said her teenage daughter tried to watch “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” when it first came on, but she put a stop to it.
“I don't think they were the best role models,” she said. "I wouldn’t let her watch anything involving them.”
One panel member couldn't even wait to be asked. Told to give his name, occupation, marital status and hometown shortly after sitting down, he answered then added, “and I just want to say I have a very negative perception of the parties and I'm not sure I could be unbiased.”
The defendants didn't seem defensive about the disrespect. They chatted with each other and smiled during breaks.
Judge Gregory W. Alarcon wasn't entirely pleased by the tone, however.
“I appreciate your honesty. You’re certainly not shy,” he told the panel. "But this is the type of case like all cases where everybody is entitled to a fair trial. There’s a jury instruction that says the wealth of a party or the poverty of the party doesn’t matter."
Jury selection is expected to continue Tuesday, with opening statements to follow. The Kardashian women are all expected to testify during the trial, and had been expected to attend at least parts of it, but their appearance for jury selection was something of a surprise.
Wearing loose-fitting business suits, the mother in white, her daughters in blacks and grays, they were ushered in by security at the last moment before the jury panel was brought in.
One prospective juror, who has served on other cases, said he didn't like the pampered treatment he felt the defendants were getting.
Michael G. Rhodes, the Kardashians' attorney, explained that courthouse security drove them in and escorted them into the courtroom for a reason.
“Do you understand that there is a dark side to celebrity," Rhodes said, "and that people that are famous sometimes need extra security?”
“Does that mean that they need Fiji water hand-delivered to them as they sit in court?” the man responded.
The family did have supporters in the room too.
“I am a pretty big fan of the Kardashians so I don’t think I would be able to make an unbiased judgment," one young woman said.
“I also am a big fan of the Kardashians," a young man said. "I’ve been watching it since I was little, so I don’t think I could be very fair.”
The Kardashian fans said they knew who Blac Chyna was, but hadn't developed strong feelings about her.
One woman who said she didn't care for the Kardashians said she liked Chyna because the two went to the same nail salon and she was “always nice to me.”
Chyna, a model and influencer, began dating the lone Kardashian brother, Rob, in January 2016, and by the time the year was over they were engaged, had a daughter together and were starring in their own “Keeping Up With The Kardashians” spinoff called “Rob & Chyna," on the E! network.
A second season was being shot when the two broke up, and the show was scrapped.
In 2017, Chyna sued the family for $100 million, saying they had defamed her and illegally interfered with her contracts and business dealings, using their power with producers and executives to drive her out of reality television.
The Kardashians denied any wrongdoing and said in court filings that they had legitimate concerns about Chyna and fears for the safety of their son and brother given the “violence and toxicity” of the relationship.
Chyna is also suing Rob Kardashian, but the differences in her allegations against him prompted the judge to sever that part of the case into a separate trial that will follow this one.
The family gained fame through 20 seasons of “Keeping Up With The Kardashians," which ran from 2007 to 2021 on E! and made them social media superstars and prized product pitchers.
A sequel series on Hulu, “The Kardashians,” premiered Thursday.

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — U.S. Marshals shot two people in Portland, Oregon, while looking for a person wanted in Washington state, authorities said.
U.S. Marshals told the Bureau they were working in southeast Portland and at 2:22 p.m. Monday reported to police that shots had been fired, according to a news release from the Portland Police Bureau.
Portland police officers responded to the call and said two men had been shot, “one seriously and the other with a minor injury,” police said.
Both men were taken to a hospital by ambulance. Two women were being detained during the investigation into the incident.
No law enforcement members were hurt.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Biden administration announced Monday it is barring anti-satellite missile testing by the United States, a move that White House officials say is meant to underscore its hopes of establishing new norms for military action in space.
The U.S. has sharply criticized Russia and China for conducting anti-satellite missile tests, although it also used an interceptor missile fired from a U.S. Navy warship more than 14 years ago to destroy a malfunctioning spy satellite.
The issue is one that’s taken on greater urgency after Russia in November launched a missile to destroy a defunct Soviet-era satellite. Vice President Kamala Harris, in a speech at Vandenberg Space Force Base on the central coast of California to highlight the administration's move, criticized the Russian action as “reckless” and “irresponsible.”
The strike created more than 1,500 pieces of space debris that increased risk to U.S. and Russian astronauts aboard the International Space Station and China’s Tiangong space station, according to U.S. Space Command.
"Simply put, these tests are dangerous," Harris said. “And we will not conduct them.”
The Russian test occurred as it was massing troops ahead of its latest invasion of Ukraine. The more than seven-week-old war has left thousands dead and has caused to U.S. and its allies to hit Russia with massive economic sanctions.
A similar weapons test by China in 2007 also resulted in widespread debris.
Harris stressed that the debris created by the missile tests threatens not only astronauts and U.S. military interests but also could impact commercial satellites that the world relies on for weather forecasts, GPS systems that help drivers navigate streets, television broadcasts and critical infrastructure.
"A piece of space debris the size of a basketball, which travels at thousands of miles per hour, would destroy a satellite. Even a piece of debris as small as a grain of sand could cause serious damage," Harris said.
The announcement of the anti-satellite missile testing ban comes months after Harris announced at a meeting in December that White House National Security Council officials would work with officials at the Pentagon, State Department, and other U.S. national security agencies to develop proposals for national security space norms.
The U.S. is the first country to announce such a ban. Harris said she hoped other nations would quickly follow.
The kind of direct-ascent weapon that the Biden administration is committing not to fire relies on interceptor missiles that travel from the Earth’s surface to strike a satellite target hundreds of miles into space.
Since the 1960s, the United States, China, India and Russia have conducted more than a dozen anti-satellite tests in space that destroyed satellites and created more than 6,300 pieces of orbital debris, according to the Secure World Foundation, a nongovernmental group that advocates for sustainable and peaceful uses of outer space.
At least 4,300 pieces of that debris are still in orbit today and pose long-term threats to human spaceflight, science and national security missions, and the future economic development of space, according to the foundation.
Anti-satellite missile tests by the U.S. in 2008 as well as one by India in 2019 targeted satellites at much lower altitudes, well below the space station at about 260 miles (420 kilometers).
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi said the destruction of a satellite in low-earth orbit by missile was meant to demonstrate India’s capacity as a “space power” alongside the U.S., Russia and China. He ordered the launch weeks before national elections.
The defunct Russian satellite Cosmos 1408 was orbiting about 40 miles (65 kilometers) higher when it was destroyed in November by a missile fired from northern Russia.
Brian Weeden, director of program planning at the Secure World Foundation, called the Biden administration's move a significant one that puts pressure on China and Russia to take similar action.
“They have made a lot of diplomatic noise the last decade about preventing a space arms race, while also testing their own (anti-satellite) weapons and creating orbital debris,” Weeden said of Russia and China. | https://www.chron.com/news/article/White-House-commits-to-barring-anti-satellite-17089255.php | 2022-04-19T01:29:20 | en | 0.958303 |

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Infielder Jed Lowrie and relievers A.J. Puk and Lou Trivino were among six players added to the COVID-19 injured list by the Oakand Athletics before their home opener against the Baltimore Orioles on Monday night.
Reliever Kirby Snead, infielder Chad Pinder and catcher Austin Allen also were put on the COVID-19 IL and joined outfielder Scott Piscotty, placed on the list on Friday.
“We definitely have been faced with some challenges.” A’s rookie manager Mark Kotsay said. “I think the way you handle those challenges enables you to get through them quicker, take it on and move forward. The game of baseball, any sport really, is a reflection of life. And so my message is always: stay positive, optimism wins.”
Pitcher Sam Selman and infielders Nick Allen and Christian Lopes were added to the A's active roster as substitute players.
Oakland went 5-5 on its opening trip.

HOUSTON (AP) — Mike Trout was out of the starting lineup for the Los Angeles Angels on Monday night, a day after the star center fielder was hit on his left hand by a pitch.
Team trainer Mike Frostad said an MRI on Monday was negative for a fracture and that Trout has a bruise. Frostad added Trout's return to the lineup will depend on pain tolerance.
Manager Joe Maddon said Trout is considered day to day with the injury but wasn’t sure if he’d return during this series with the Houston Astros, which ends Wednesday.
Trout said Sunday that when he first was hit, he thought he broke the hand. He had trouble seeing Spencer Patton’s pitch in the shadows at Texas and lowered his hands into the path of the ball to protect his midsection.
The three-time American League MVP is batting .222 with no homers and one RBI in eight games this season.

EL PASO, Texas (Border Report) – A top law-enforcement official is blaming a drug cartel for the murder of two Chihuahua state police officers, three civilians and a Mexican immigration agent.
The roadside massacre happened late Friday in a rural area west of Juarez known as a hotbed for migrant smuggling activity. It also comes days after the governor of Chihuahua signed a memorandum of understanding with Texas Gov. Greg Abbott to step up efforts against drug and migrant smuggling in her state.
“These cowardly acts seek to weaken and destabilize (law enforcement). We have worked to capture those who generate violence, we have seized (drugs) and hit hard the criminal organizations that operate in the area,” Chihuahua Attorney General Roberto Fierro said in a statement. “We will not lower our guard; we will not allow criminals to (intimidate) us.”
The victims included state police officers Alejandro Dominguez and Gil Malo Solano. Dominguez headed the state police garrison in the town of Janos – a strategic junction of roads leading to Southeast Arizona, Southern New Mexico, Chihuahua City and Juarez. The head of Mexico’s National Immigration Institute in the area, Lorenzo Pico Escobar, also was killed.
The AG’s Office said several vehicles traveling on Mexico Highway 2 were ambushed by gunmen. Videos shared on social media show a white pickup crashed against the side of a mountain and a second pickup smoldering a few yards ahead. More vehicles are on fire about a quarter-mile away.
Police said one of the vehicles, a gray GMC pickup, had Texas license plates and was riddled with bullets. The other vehicles were a white Ford pickup, a black Chevrolet and two others that were so burned up that their make and model have not been established yet.
Authorities believed the two police officers attempted to fire back at their attackers but they don’t know if they were able to hit their targets or if any of the burned vehicles belonged to the attackers. A submachine gun was found in one of the wrecks.
The attack took place in a corner of Chihuahua where La Linea and the Sinaloa cartel have been at war for several years. Janos is near Nuevo Casas Grandes, the reported stronghold of La Linea boss Jesus Venzor Salas Aguayo.
Speaking to reporters in Chihuahua City on Saturday, Fierro said the initial investigation points La Linea drug cartel being behind the attack.
On Monday, Secretary of Government Cesar Jauregui said a second attack, this one in Juarez on Saturday, claimed the life of another state police commander and his wife. He said he doesn’t know if the two incidents are related but said it is clear organized criminal groups are upset with the authorities.
He said three suspects were in custody for the murder of the police commander in Juarez and seven people were being questioned in Janos in connection to organized criminal activity in the area. | https://www.krqe.com/news/border-report/border-report-tour/la-linea-cartel-blamed-for-attack-that-killed-2-officers-a-federal-agent-and-3-civilians/ | 2022-04-19T01:34:41 | en | 0.975197 |

ORLANDO, Fla. (WFLA) — Manual adjustments to a theme park ride could have led to Tyre Sampson’s death at Orlando’s ICON Park, according to Nikki Fried, Florida’s commissioner of Agriculture and Consumer Services.
During a Monday press conference, Fried said that after a forensic examination of the ride by Quest Engineering, the Orlando FreeFall would be closed indefinitely.
“This report answers the question [of] what mechanically took place as our investigation moves to the next phase of how and why it occurred, as we look toward potential penalties along with any changes to rules and regulations needed to prevent tragedies,” the commissioner said.
The 14-year-old died on March 24 after he fell from the Orlando FreeFall while visiting the park with a friend’s family. The ride had only been in operation for less than six months and was inspected in December, according to the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services.
The incident called the ride’s safety protocols into question. Ride analyst Ken Martin said that the 14-year-old never should have been able to get on the ride in the first place since he exceeded the ride’s limit of 287 pounds.
The Quest Engineering report determined that there was no mechanical or electrical failure of the ride itself.
However, it was discovered that the harness proximity sensor on Tyre’s seat, Seat 1, was manually loosened and adjusted to allow for a restraint opening of seven inches. This adjustment caused Tyre’s seat to be improperly secured, leading him to fall from the 430-foot ride to his death.
“At the time of the accident, Seat 1’s harness restraint opening was between 6 to 7 inches at the start of the ride,” the report said. “During slowing of the ride, Tyre Sampson slipped through the gap between the seat and harness, which may have expanded several inches due to inherent seat and harness compliance.”
At this time, officials have not said who the ride operator was that made the adjustments. According to the report, the adjustments were made to both Seat 1 and Seat 2 on the ride.
ICON Park released a statement saying it was disturbed by the findings:
We are deeply troubled that the preliminary findings of the State’s investigation indicate a sensor on the Orlando FreeFall attraction, which is owned and operated by the SlingShot Group, had been mis-adjusted after the sensor was originally secured in place. ICON Park is committed to providing a safe, fun experience for families. We will continue to support the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services with their ongoing investigation.
ICON Park
Fried said that the investigation will continue, and once it is completed, changes will be made to regulations. | https://www.krqe.com/news/national/ride-adjustments-made-it-unsafe-before-teens-deadly-fall-report-says/ | 2022-04-19T01:34:49 | en | 0.980443 |

(The Hill) – Vice President Harris is spelling out her strategy for one of her favorite gaming hobbies, boasting of a perfect Wordle score.
The VP told The Ringer that she repeats the same word every day when she’s playing the uber-popular New York Times five-letter guessing game: “notes.”
“I think that you have to have a healthy mix of consonants and vowels, and a lot of words come with an ‘s,’” Harris told the website in an interview published Monday.
The approach has led to a 48-game winning streak, according to Harris.
The 57-year-old vice president first revealed her Wordle routine last week during a Democratic National Committee fundraiser.
“When I can’t sleep, I’ve been doing Wordle,” she said.
But Harris said her travel schedule often doesn’t allow for some Wordle downtime.
“Listen, it’s not like I’m going to a beach when I travel. It’s 13-, 14-hour days and, you know, little sleep. So, yeah. Wordle gets put aside,” she said.
Harris said it takes her, on average, four out of six tries to correctly guess the daily answer.

- Trending: New Mexico locations featured in “Stranger Things” trailer
- Albuquerque: Family of woman killed in Foothills shooting speaks out
- Business: 2 New Mexicans leave their jobs to open business
Asked if she’s ever lucked out and guessed correctly on her first attempt, Harris replied, “No, but I’ve had six on the second word.”
Harris said she’s not committed to only one word-focused game: “My nighttime ritual is the mini New York Times crossword. And then sudoku, although I don’t think I’ve pronounced that right ever.”
“Wordle, for me, is like a brain cleanser. So it’s in the middle of very long days, back-to-back meetings on a lot of intense issues,” she said. “If I have a break, let’s say that people are running late or my little 25 minutes for lunch, sometimes while I’m eating I’ll figure out Wordle.”
But Harris lamented that she can’t subscribe to another game, The New York Times’s Spelling Bee, ostensibly due to security limitations on her phone.
“[The New York Times app doesn’t] let you play all the way through and it’s really frustrating. They do let you get to, like, in the 20s and then they turn you over and say, ‘You’re really good at this! Would you like to subscribe?’” Harris said.
“It’s really annoying, but it may actually be for the best because I’d probably otherwise spend too much time at night not sleeping.”
She also can’t join the world of Wordle score trumpeters and post her standing on social media or via text message.
- Colin Kaepernick says he has ‘unfinished business’ in NFL
- Prince Harry honors Ukrainian team members during Invictus Games opening ceremony
“No, because my phone does not let me do that. My phone doesn’t let me text anybody, which is sad.”
Harris said she was almost tripped up by the Wordle answer on the day she was interviewed. But she managed to come up with the word, “shame,” on the sixth and final try and not mess with her winning streak.
“Because I have 100 percent, and I intend to keep it that way,” she said. | https://www.krqe.com/news/politics/kamala-harris-shares-her-wordle-winning-streak-strategy/ | 2022-04-19T01:34:55 | en | 0.963946 |

(The Hill) – The Supreme Court on Monday ruled against an Air Force reserve officer who asked the justices to shield him from disciplinary action over his religious-based refusal to get the COVID-19 vaccine.
Lt. Col. Jonathan Dunn was removed from his command and faces additional punishment over his refusal to comply with the military-wide health policy that was implemented last August.
The court’s three most conservative members — Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito and Neil Gorsuch — indicated they would have granted Dunn’s request to block the Pentagon from disciplining him further while the case proceeds in the lower courts.
The court’s move on Monday came in a brief unsigned order that was issued without comment. It follows a ruling last month when the justices restored the Defense Department’s authority over the deployment of unvaccinated Navy special forces operators after a lower court sided with a group of Navy SEALs who challenged the military’s mandate.
Dunn’s unusual legal argument stood out among the numerous other religious-based challenges that have been filed against vaccination mandates since the emergence of COVID-19 two years ago. In court papers, he argued that government leaders have painted the vaccine as a moral obligation and thereby caused it to take on a “sacramental quality” that violated his religious conviction.
“That makes COVID-19 vaccination a religious ritual required as a condition of participating fully in civil society — like ancient Roman laws requiring sacrifices to Caesar, or Nebuchadnezzar’s edict requiring worship of the golden statue,” his lawyers told the justices. “After much prayer, applicant concluded that he cannot participate in such a religious ritual— and thus cannot take the vaccine — because, as a Christian, he must render worship to God only.”
The Defense Department last week urged the justices to deny the request, emphasizing the need for military readiness while arguing that Dunn had failed to demonstrate that he would suffer irreversible harm if his bid were denied.
“Applicant also failed to establish any irreparable harm,” the Justice Department wrote in court papers on the Pentagon’s behalf. “He has already been removed from his former command — including for reasons of poor judgment and abuse of authority, which justified the removal independent of his refusal to be vaccinated.” | https://www.krqe.com/news/politics/supreme-court-wont-shield-airman-from-punishment-over-vaccine-refusal/ | 2022-04-19T01:35:01 | en | 0.976932 |

(WKBN) – The U.S. Product Safety Commission announced on Thursday that General Electric (GE) would be recalling six types of its stainless steel refrigerators.

A man has been sentenced to nearly 11 years in prison after pleading guilty to supplying counterfeit fentanyl-laced pills to the drug dealer who sold them to rapper Mac Miller before the star died of an overdose, officials announced Monday.
Former West Los Angeles resident, Ryan Michael Reavis, pleaded guilty last year to a single-count superseding information charging him with distribution of fentanyl.
Reavis was sentenced to 131 months in federal prison, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
He is one of three people charged in Miller’s overdose death. Stephen Andrew Walter, 48, of Westwood is set to be sentenced in the coming weeks, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said. A case against 30-year-old Cameron Pettit of West Hollywood is pending.
Reavis, who moved to Arizona in 2019, distributed counterfeit oxycodone pills to co-defendant Pettit on Sept. 4, 2018, officials said.
He admitted to knowing that the pills contained fentanyl or some other controlled substance, according to the Department of Justice.
Shortly after Reavis supplied him with the fentanyl-laced pills, Pettit gave them to the 26-year-old rapper, whose real name was Malcolm James McCormick.
Reavis allegedly distributed the counterfeit pills to Pettit at the direction of co-defendant Walter.
Miller got the pills about two days before he suffered the fatal drug overdose on Sept. 7, 2018.
The star’s personal assistant found him unresponsive in his Studio City home, and paramedics pronounced him dead at the scene.
The rapper died from an accidental overdose due to a combination of alcohol and drugs, including fentanyl, the L.A. County coroner’s report said at the time.
Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid that is around 100 times stronger than morphine and 50 times more potent than heroin, according to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration. Just 2 milligrams can be lethal, depending on a person’s body size, tolerance and past use.
Synthetic opioids like fentanyl are the primary driver of overdose deaths in the country, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. | https://www.krqe.com/the-mel-robbins-show/mac-miller-overdose-death-man-gets-11-years-in-prison-for-distributing-fentanyl/ | 2022-04-19T01:35:13 | en | 0.961278 |
