CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCIV) — Senator Lindsey Graham’s sudden passing has reignited speculation over the future of his seat in Congress after he cruised to the Republican nomination in South Carolina in pursuit of a fifth term earlier this summer.

Sen. Graham, 71, died overnight Saturday after a “brief and sudden illness,” according to his staff in Washington. Paramedics arrived at his DC home around 8:30 p.m. and by 9 p.m. said over scanner audio they were treating a man suffering from cardiac arrest before transporting the man to George Washington University Hospital, according to Washington Post reporting.

A historic federal law-enforcement operation targeting violent crime in Chicago resulted in nearly 500 arrests, scores of illegal firearms taken off the streets and the recovery of 24 missing children, according to federal officials.

NEWSMAX crime correspondent Jason Mattera reports on Operation New Dawn, an unprecedented partnership involving 11 federal agencies. Authorities say those arrested included homicide suspects, narcotics traffickers, criminals with cartel connections and repeat violent offenders accused of driving violence across Chicago-area neighborhoods.

Federal prosecutors also criticized what they described as a “catch-and-release” system in Cook County, saying some dangerous suspects had previously been taken into custody only to be released by local judges. Officials say the operation’s coordinated federal approach could become a model for confronting violent crime in other major American cities.

Пока Украина пятый год отражает полномасштабную российскую агрессию, часть польских политиков решила вновь разыграть “волынскую карту”. Президент Кароль Навроцкий и его окружение требуют отказаться от упоминания УПА, угрожают блокированием евроинтеграции Украины и превращают сложную историческую трагедию в инструмент предвыборной кампании. В ответ украинские политики возвращают польские награды, а в самой Польше все громче звучат голоса тех, кто предупреждает: подобная политика играет на руку только Кремлю. Подробнее – в материале FREEДОМ.
