As we've talked about before, the August murder of 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska on Charlotte's light rail system, allegedly at the hands of a violent repeat offender, has created a ripple effect at all levels of government amid President Trump's national crackdown on crime.
Republicans in the U.S. House and Senate, for instance, have introduced legislation dealing with, among other things, strengthening transit crime reporting and oversight.
And on Monday, the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Oversight held a field hearing at a Charlotte courthouse to talk about victims of crime, to hear stories from their families, and to advocate

United States President Donald Trump has proposed a 20-point peace plan to end the war in Gaza after holding talks with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who welcomed the proposal.
The new proposal, which calls for the disarmament of Hamas, has been welcomed by the Palestinian Authority (PA), which governs in the occupied West Bank, along with some regional Arab countries. Hamas says that it is studying the US proposal “in good faith”, while the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) group says that the plan is a “recipe to blow up the region”.
Below are the reactions from regional and Western countries.

President Donald Trump on Monday fast-tracked his administration's efforts to secure peace in Gaza, rolling out a detailed vision for a U.S.-backed ceasefire that the White House says will bring the war to an immediate end.
He said Israel has accepted the proposal but the success of the plan still hinges on the cooperation of Hamas.
"We're at a minimum, very, very close," Trump said during a news conference alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House. Speaking alongside the president, Netanyahu appeared to sign off on the proposal.
"I believe that today we're taking a critical step towards both ending the war in Gaza and setting the stage

YouTube has agreed to pay $24.5 million to settle a lawsuit involving the suspension of President Donald Trump's account following the U.S. Capitol riots on Jan. 6, 2021.
The settlement "shall not constitute an admission of liability or fault," on behalf of the defendants or related parties, according to a filing on Monday from the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. Trump sued YouTube, Facebook and Twitter in mid-2021, after the companies suspended his accounts on their platforms over concerns related to the incitement of violence.
Since Trump won a second term in November and returned to the White House in January, the tech companies

WASHINGTON - President Donald Trump said on Sunday that he would tell a gathering of U.S. generals and admirals in Quantico, Virginia, that they were cherished leaders who needed to be strong and tough.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth summoned senior U.S. military leaders from around the world for a meeting in Quantico on Tuesday -- a rare gathering of the country's military leadership in one location. "I want to tell the generals that we love them, they're cherished leaders, to be strong, be tough and be smart and be compassionate," Trump told Reuters in an interview.
"That's all that is, esprit de corps. It's about time somebody did that," he added.

Marjorie Taylor Greene has come out swinging at the White House over the Trump administration’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking case.
The rift between the MAGA firebrand and White House deepened after a Trump official apparently told her that her support of bipartisan legislation ordering the release of the so-called Epstein files would be viewed as a “very hostile act.” by
Greene is one of four Republicans, alongside Reps. Thomas Massie, Nancy Mace and Lauren Boebert to have signed on to a discharge petition to force the release of files related to Epstein. If a discharge petition receives the signature of a majority of members, they can

Georgia Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene declared that people should remember she is “not suicidal” should something happen to her in the wake of her support of a petition for the release of the Epstein files.
The conservative firebrand took to X on Saturday to dispel any notion that she would take her own life as she reiterated her desire to expose the “Epstein rape and pedophile network.”
“I am not suicidal and one of the happiest healthiest people you will meet,” the Georgia Republican wrote on X. “With that said, if something happens to me, I ask you all to find out which foreign government or powerful people would take heinous actions

President Donald Trump has ordered the deployment of US troops to Portland, Oregon, authorising use of "full force" if needed, to suppress protests targeting immigration detention centres.
Trump said he was "directing Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, to provide all necessary Troops to protect War ravaged Portland".
He claimed that the move would help protect "any of our ICE Facilities under siege from attack by Antifa, and other domestic terrorists," adding on Truth Social: "I am also authorizing Full Force, if necessary."
The announcement drew pushback from Democratic lawmakers, who said there was no need for federal troops to be deployed to the city.

An Iowa school district superintendent living in the United States illegally who also faces weapons charges was arrested Friday, authorities said.
Ian Andre Roberts, who heads the Des Moines Public Schools—the largest school district in the state—was taken into custody on a fugitive warrant. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents pursued Roberts after he sped away, authorities said.
They later found his vehicle abandoned, and an Iowa State Patrol K-9 was called in to help search for him.

The Supreme Court on Friday agreed to allow the Trump administration keep frozen billions of dollars in foreign aid that is set to expire next week, the latest turn in a lengthy legal saga over the congressionally appropriated funds.
The emergency intervention came at the administration’s urging to lift a lower court’s ruling ordering it to spend $4 billion in funds approved for aid programs by Sept. 30, its expiration date.
It indefinitely extends the pause on U.S. District Judge Amir Ali’s injunction that was put in place earlier this month by Chief Justice John Roberts, who handles emergency appeals from the nation’s capital by default,

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth’s surprise gathering of hundreds of generals and admirals in Virginia next week is being called so he can describe the administration’s reinvention of the Department of Defense as the “Department of War” and outline new standards for military personnel, according to half a dozen people familiar with the planning.
“It’s meant to be a show of force of what the new military now looks like under the president,” a White House official told CNN.
The meeting is expected to resemble “a pep rally” where Hegseth will underscore the importance of the “warrior ethos” and outline a new vision
