The New American: Texas Governor Abbott Sends Bus Full of Illegal Immigrants to Denver - The New American
Texas Governor Greg Abbott has sent a bus full of 41 illegal immigrants to Denver in the latest move to ease the pressure on Texas border communities facing an influx due to President Biden's "reckless open border policies". Abbott previously sent busloads of immigrants to New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, and Washington, D.C. - all sanctuary cities for illegal immigrants - stating "Texas’ overwhelmed and overrun border communities should not have to shoulder the flood of illegal immigration." Denver mayor Michael Hancock, a Democrat, called the bus arrival "partisan gamesmanship", whilst estimating that his city had taken in around 10,000 illegal immigrants during the current crisis. Hancock also pleaded for federal help and warned he might send Abbott a bill.

The Epoch Times: 'You Should Go to Jail': DeSantis Warns Doctors Who Perform Child Sex-Change Surgeries
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has passed legislation allowing minors to sue doctors who perform irreversible sex-change operations and transgender surgeries. Not only has such treatment been outlawed by Senate Bill 254, but medical professionals who undertake such procedures can be prosecuted for sterilising minors who do not consent. Past victims of these procedures can now sue the doctors who performed them as they “violated the Hippocratic oath” and used “evidence-based medicine” to justify their ideologies. DeSantis branded some rogue medical professionals as ideological and warned that it is “fundamentally wrong in the state of Florida.”

National Review: New York Mayor Unveils Plan to Fight Retail Theft — with ‘Kiosks’
New York City Mayor Eric Adams unveiled a plan to curb retail theft that includes "diversion programs" for non-violent offenders, training retail workers, and installing resource kiosks in stores. Additionally, authorities will establish a repeat offender program and retail theft task force to keep track of recidivism and facilitate stronger prosecutions. The kiosks aim to benefit underprivileged community members through government resources and social services.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg expressed support for the plan, adding that the "retail theft has increased city-wide and nation-wide since the pandemic." However, his progressive policies, such as bail reform, have faced backlash for fueling the crime wave. Critics have also scrutinized his charging of Daniel Penny, a white marine veteran, with manslaughter in the death of black and mentally unstable criminal Jordan Neely, who was harassing subway passengers. Some argue that Bragg should have brought the case to a grand jury to assess Neely's actions and determine that the incident was not racially motivated.
