Roosevelt Reservation The Roosevelt Reservation is the 60-foot (18 m)-wide strip of land owned by the United States Federal Government along the United States side of the United States–Mexico Border in three of the four border states. In 1907, Theodore Roosevelt in a Presidential Proclamation (35 Stat. 2136) established the reservation in order to keep all public lands along the border in California, Arizona, and New Mexico "free from obstruction as a protection against the smuggling of goods between the United States and Mexico" more at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roosevelt_Reservation

Trump authorizes military to take control of public land along southern border President Trump on Friday night authorized the military to take control of a strip of public land along the southern border. The president justified the use of the military by saying the United States is "under attack from a variety of threats." "The complexity of the current situation requires that our military take a more direct role in securing our southern border than in the recent past," the order reads. A memorandum released by the White House directs the Secretaries of Defense, Interior, Agriculture and Homeland Security to transfer the jurisdiction of federal land along the southern border to the Department of Defense. The order details that the military will be tasked with building a border wall and implementing detection and monitoring equipment. But the military's mandate is broad and defined as activities that are "reasonably necessary and appropriate to accomplish the mission." The order references the Roosevelt Reservation, a swath of land along the border that goes through California, New Mexico and Arizona. more at https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-authorizes-military-control-souther-border/

Columbia anti-Israel protester Mahmoud Khalil can be deported, judge rules An immigration judge has ruled that Mahmoud Khalil can be deported from the United States due to his involvement in leading last year’s pro-Palestinian protests at Columbia University. Judge Jamee Comans ruled in Louisiana on Friday that Khalil, 30, can be deported, saying that the U.S. government met its burden of proof to remove him. During the hearing Friday, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) attorneys also spoke about how Khalil misrepresented himself on his green card application. DHS attorneys said that Khalil was not upfront about some of the organizations he is involved with. Federal officials alleged that Khalil was "inadmissible at the time of his adjustment" because of "fraud or willful misrepresentation of material fact" in his status application. The agency also accused Khalil of failing to disclose his work with the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees and membership in Columbia University Apartheid Divest. more at https://www.foxnews.com/us/columbia-anti-israel-protester-mahmoud-khalil-can-deported-judge-rules

Six people are dead after a tourist helicopter carrying a family from Spain “split in half” mid-air and spiraled out of the sky before crashing into the Hudson River Thursday afternoon, according to officials. Dozens of first responders rushed to the tragic scene after the Bell 206 aircraft, apparently missing its rotors, plunged into the river near Pier 40 in Manhattan near the Hoboken border of New Jersey around 3:15 p.m., the FDNY said. The doomed chopper was owned and operated by New York Helicopter, a tour company in the Big Apple which regards itself for providing comfort and safety to customers. more at https://nypost.com/2025/04/10/us-news/helicopter-crashes-into-hudson-river-near-pier-40-in-nyc/

how far is she now compared to how far that move would take her?

apparently the older kid went to live with his father after a few weeks. perhaps the "mom" told them it would not be for very long, who knows. but after the older left i suspect there was no further contact between the two kids. the entire story is full of no one noticing or saying anything. it's sad.

i've always wondered about that. wouldn't she call 911 after an hour or two?

(story is just over a year old, but this completely amazes me) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In 2020, while France was grappling with the Covid pandemic, a nine-year-old boy was left to fend for himself in an unheated second-floor flat overlooking the cemetery. His ordeal began when his mother went to live with another woman and ended two years later when a neighbour finally alerted the police. At some point in 2020, Alexandra appears to have decided simply to leave both of her boys behind in Nersac. After a few weeks, the elder of the two went to live with his father, while his younger brother remained alone in the flat. The boy nevertheless went on to complete his last year at his primary school, Alfred de Vigny, a five-minute walk from his home, as if nothing had happened. His marks were good — so good that none of the teachers suspected anything at home had changed. The same appeared to be true when he turned 11 and moved to a middle school at Châteauneuf-sur-Charente, seven miles to the southwest. “He did his homework, he was well dressed, he was clean and he was always on time. Kids like that fly under the radar. We don’t worry about them.” But the winters he spent alone were hard: the gas supply to the flat was not working — which meant the flat had no heating. The trial heard he slept under three duvets. more at https://www.thetimes.com/world/article/of-course-we-knew-how-can-a-9-year-old-boy-live-alone-for-two-years-gckvmgc0j

A Missouri woman accused of trading her foster child for an exotic monkey has been arrested. Brenda Ruth Deutsch, 70, of Lincoln County, was arrested on three felony counts of neglect, child abuse and child endangering stemming from initial allegations of a missing child who was later located in Texas, Missouri prosecutors announced Sunday. Lincoln County Prosecutor Mike Wood told NBC News in a phone call Wednesday that Deutsch, who he said has fostered more than 200 children for about 15 to 20 years, is also being investigated in connection with allegations that she traded the child for a monkey. more monkey business at https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/missouri-foster-mom-trading-child-monkey-rcna200379
