Navy secretary calls reports of Lincoln crew struggles dishonest'
www.stripes.com

... Acting Secretary of the Navy Hung Cao is pushing back against media reports detailing concerns about mental health and poor living conditions raised by family members of sailors and Marines aboard the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln, saying they were "dishonest" and harmed service members.

Reports about food and water shortages, disrupted mail service, difficult living conditions and fears about self-harm were inappropriate attempts to portray service members as "victims," Cao said in a statement posted Friday to his official X account.

"Sailors and Marines are expected to dig deep "--and they always do," said Cao, adding that military leaders had successfully balanced their responsibility to take care of service members while meeting mission requirements during the carrier's nearly nine-month deployment. ...


Was your license plate searched in Flock's system? Connecticut drivers can check
www.newstimes.com

... As debate over automated license plate readers intensifies across Connecticut, a website is giving drivers a way to check whether someone has searched for their license plate using Flock Safety's system.

The website, HaveIBeenFlocked.com, allows users to enter a license plate number and search a database of audit logs obtained from police departments and other government agencies through public records requests.

A match does not necessarily mean a Flock camera spotted the vehicle or that its driver was under investigation. Rather, it means an operator using Flock's system searched for that license plate, according to the website. The person conducting the search is not necessarily a police officer.

The site's database is also incomplete. The site says many government agencies do not make Flock audit logs readily available and records that are released can be heavily redacted. The website says it is not a real-time monitoring tool. There can be delays of months or years before records are added to the website. ...

How Do Crime Rates of Undocumented Immigrants Compare to U.S.-Born Citizens in 2024? (August 2026)
factually.co

... Multiple recent studies and reviews conclude that immigrants -- including undocumented immigrants -- do not have higher crime rates than U.S.-born residents and in many measures have substantially lower arrest and incarceration rates; the National Institute of Justice-funded analysis of Texas data found undocumented arrest rates for violent and drug crimes below half those of native-born citizens and property-crime arrests about one-quarter as high [1].

Long-run studies using U.S. Census and incarceration data dating back to 1870 similarly show immigrants have historically been less likely to be incarcerated than the U.S.-born, with contemporary gaps widening so immigrants are substantially less likely to be incarcerated today [2] [3]. ...
