NEW: The Trump administration is seeking to deport Columbia student Mahmoud Khalil specifically via INA Section 237 (a)(4)(C) after Secretary Rubio "found that his presence and activities in the U.S. would compromise a compelling US foreign policy interest, rendering him deportable," a senior State Department official tells me.

Section 237 of the INA broadly contains grounds for which an alien who is in the US after having been admitted or having their status adjusted to that of a lawful permanent resident may be removed.

Section 237 (a)(4)(C) is a rarely used provision of the law that allows the Secretary of State to seek to deport "an alien whose presence or activities in the United States the Secretary of State has reasonable ground to believe would have potentially serious adverse foreign policy consequences for the United States."

The law gives the Secretary of State broad power to declare an alien deportable for the reasons above, with no requirement that any crime be committed.

Georgia: A tragic shooting in northwest Georgia last weekend left three people dead and an off-duty police officer critically injured after a Marietta man opened fire inside a Walker County home. 

Authorities identified the shooter as 54-year-old Russell David Payne of Marietta. The victims killed in the attack were his estranged wife, 54-year-old Jacklyn D. Payne, and her father, 79-year-old Eugene "Jack" Denny, according to Walker County Sheriff's Office. 

The shooting occurred Saturday night at a home on Wood Station Road in Rock Spring, a community located between Chickamauga and LaFayette. Also inside the home at the time was 52-year-old Chickamauga police Officer Charles Dunn, who was critically injured during the attack. Dunn was a longtime family friend of the victims.

The violence unfolded Saturday evening when a 911 call was placed from inside the home, alerting authorities to the attack. Walker County Sheriff Steve Wilson confirmed that deputies responded around 7 p.m. after receiving a distress call from inside the home.

When deputies arrived, they discovered three people dead and Officer Dunn suffering from life-threatening injuries. 

Please join us in sending prayers and, or, positive thoughts for his recovery. 🙏🏻

BREAKING! Remains found late last year in the San Bernardino Mountains have been positively identified as Carlos Baltazar, a U.S. Forest Service firefighter who went missing during the deadly El Dorado Fire in 2020, officials confirmed Tuesday.

A death investigation began on Oct. 26, 2024, when a hunter discovered a human skull in the Smarts Ranch Road area north of Cactus Flat near Highway 18.

The San Bernardino County Sheriff-Coroner Department confirmed Tuesday that the identification was made in February using DNA.

According to Baltazar’s family, the Hotshots crewmember went missing after his squad boss died while fighting the El Dorado Fire.

“Carlos went to report to the barracks to prepare for the funeral services and was not seen after talking with co-workers … later, his vehicle was found crashed along Highway 18,” a family member posted on a GoFundMe to raise money for funeral expenses.

Big Bear Interagency Hotshot Crew Squad Boss Charles Morton was killed fighting the fire.
