Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:44:09 GMT

OAKLAND — The case against a woman accused of brandishing a knife at a Hayward mother and attempting to kidnap her 4-year-old son was suspended almost immediately after being filed when the defense attorney raised doubts about the defendant’s mental competency, court records show.Barbara Lopez, 35, was charged March 8 with the attempted kidnapping of a 4-year-old boy and assault with a deadly weapon for allegedly threatening the mother with a folding pocketknife. Just six days later, Lopez’s attorney formally declared a doubt about her mental competency, prompting a medical review that may get her sent to a state hospital if doctors agree she can’t understand the proceedings, court records show.Hayward police allege that the mother was walking her son home from school March 6 when Lopez walked across four lanes of traffic to approach them, brandished the knife, and said, “Give me your kid.” The mother was able to flag down a passing driver who pulled ov...

Over decades, Congress failed repeatedly to address immigration dysfunction

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:44:09 GMT

WASHINGTON — For nearly a quarter century, as successive waves of migrants have tried to enter and work in the United States, presidents have appealed to Congress to address gaps in an immigration system nearly everyone agrees is broken.Yet year after year, congressional efforts to strike a wide-ranging bipartisan deal — one that would strengthen border security measures while expanding avenues for people to immigrate to the United States in an orderly and lawful way — have fractured under the strain of political forces.Immigration has proved to be a potent political messaging tool, particularly for Republicans, who have rallied voters behind campaigns to close the border with Mexico — and denounced anything other than stringent security proposals as amnesty. And Democrats have long resisted border security initiatives without measures to grant legal status to millions of immigrants residing in the United States without permission and to expand immigration in the future.While many l...

Desperate Families and Gun-Toting Vigilantes Converge in Arizona After Title 42 Ends

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:44:09 GMT

The travelers stood atop the steep, rolling hill. They were just a few steps north of the border wall, having passed through a gap in the towering steel barrier. They gathered beneath Coches Ridge, a remote feature of the Buenos Aires National Wildlife Refuge in southern Arizona where, last summer, a white nationalist border vigilante chased an unarmed man into Mexico at gunpoint.The group was small. A man, two women, and two children, a boy and a girl. Their bright shirts made them easy to spot against the green and gold of the desert. The boy waved his arms above his head as I drove nearer, like a shipwreck survivor on a deserted island. I rolled down my window. He looked to be about 8 years old, maybe 9. Just tall enough to peek over my door, he said hello in English. The man beside him looked exhausted and desperate. I asked if they needed help. They did.It was the morning of Friday, May 12. Roughly 12 hours had passed since President Joe Biden lifted a public health order known...

Gundogan and Haaland score as Man City beats Everton 3-0 in Premier League

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:44:09 GMT

LIVERPOOL, England (AP) — Manchester City’s seemingly relentless march toward the Premier League title continued with a 3-0 win against Everton on Sunday. Two goals from Ilkay Gundogan and another from Erling Haaland — his 52nd of the season — secured the points at Goodison Park and stretched City’s unbeaten run to 21 games in all competitions. It was an 11th straight win in the league, which has seen the defending champions overhaul long-time leader Arsenal at the top of the table and put Pep Guardiola on the brink of a third successive title and his fifth in six seasons.Defeat for Everton, meanwhile, leaves the Merseyside club just one point above the relegation zone and in a desperate fight for survival after 69 years in the top flight. If Leicester beats Liverpool on Monday, Everton would drop into the bottom three with two games to play. Few expected Sean Dyche’s team to cause an upset against City, even after its shock 5-1 win against Brighton on Monday. And ...
