"Wesley Bell, a reform-minded City Council member from Ferguson, Mo., declared victory in the Democratic primary for St. Louis County prosecutor Tuesday evening, saying he had ousted the longtime incumbent Robert P. McCulloch, who came under national scrutiny for his handling of the investigation into the 2014 shooting of a black teenager by a white police officer."

The commissioner of Customs and Border Protection on enforcing the Trump administration’s orders, child separation and the Abolish ICE movement.

Congress makes the law.

Unethical conduct will not be ignored.

The commissioner of Customs and Border Protection is probably an international criminal.

A Top Syrian Scientist Is Killed, and Fingers Point at Israel

The car bombing was said to be at least the fourth Israeli assassination attempt against an enemy weapons engineer on foreign soil in the last three years.

Assassination can work.
This one probably comes too late.
It reads like the bomb was attached to the engineer's car.

This report is probably a press release from the Mossad.
