NEW: Cook County's chief judge says releasing a 5-time felon with 4 pending felony cases was not a mistake.

"How do you predict what another human being is going to do?"

“Start with the obvious — his criminal history,” says Chief Weitzel

"Talley remained on the loose until the morning of April 25, when, prosecutors say, he violently robbed a female cashier at a Northwest Side dollar store, got arrested, feigned illness, and then used a secreted handgun to murder Officer John Bartholomew and wound a second officer as they guarded him at Swedish Hospital."

BREAKING: Colorado Gov. Jared Polis (D) commuted the sentence of Tina Peters on Friday afternoon.

"The former Republican Mesa County Clerk was serving a nearly nine-year sentence for her role in allowing unauthorized access to her county's election equipment in an attempt to uncover election fraud.

Polis commuted her sentence to four-and-a-half years and said she would be eligible for parole next month. Before Polis' commutation, Peters' earliest parole date would have been March 2028."

NEW: An Iraqi national and senior member of a U.S.-designated terror organization was arrested and brought to New York to face trial on federal terrorism charges.

Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood al-Saadi is accused of coordinating nearly 20 terror attacks in Europe and plotting additional attacks on U.S. soil.

The suspect is accused of directing strikes on behalf of Iran-backed Islamist group Ashab al-Yamin since March.

The FBI said it took action after learning that al-Saadi was planning to expand Ashab al-Yamin’s operations to the U.S., allegedly directing individuals to coordinate American terror attacks against synagogues and other Jewish institutions across the country.

On 5/08/26, as part of Operation Lone Star, TxDPS K-9 Bona and her handler assisted the U.S. Border Patrol in tracking a group of illegal immigrants through rugged terrain across Maverick and Uvalde counties.

During the operation, K-9 Bona tracked for nearly 10 miles, ultimately helping locate seven illegal immigrants in total. One illegal immigrant was found hiding in a corn field attempting to avoid apprehension.

This highlights the endurance, training, and determination of our DPS tracking canines and their handlers as they work alongside our federal partners to prevent gotaways and protect public safety.

Please keep the Greenville Police Department, South Carolina, in your thoughts and prayers.🙏🏻

Overnight, two off-duty Greenville Police Department officers were passengers in a vehicle that was involved in a head-on collision in Spartanburg County.

Sergeant Ashley Munoz, an 11-year veteran of the Greenville Police Department, was killed in the accident. Sergeant Munoz was promoted to sergeant in 2023 and supervised GPD's Criminal Investigations Units, including Property Crimes, Financial Crimes and Family Crimes.

Sergeant Diana Munoz, a 12+-year veteran of the Greenville Police Department, was airlifted to a local hospital, where she remains in critical condition. Sergeant Munoz, who was promoted to sergeant in 2022, currently serves as the department's Public Information Officer.

The couple, who have two small children, were returning from vacation when the accident occurred.

A memorial for Sergeant Ashley Munoz has been set up at the City of Greenville's Public Safety Campus at 204 Halton Road. The public is invited to visit the memorial to pay their respects and show their support for Sergeant Munoz's family and the Greenville Police Department.

Countywide Services Division Chief, Jason Wollack initiated the 51st Annual Memorial Torch Relay Run. The Memorial Torch Relay Run honors the courage and dedication of Los Angeles County Peace Officers who have given their lives in the line of duty for the safety and wellbeing of our communities.

The Memorial Torch Relay Run comprises 56 segments of varying lengths, beginning its journey from the historic “Hall of Justice,” situated in downtown Los Angeles, and spanning a distance exceeding 300 miles across the County of Los Angeles. This run will pass through 23 Sheriff’s stations, 8 custody facilities, through our transit services division, and specialized units over the course of three days.

Approximately 2000 department personnel will take part in this relay run to pay tribute to those we have lost in the line of duty and to show respect to the families of these heroes, acknowledging the profound loss of their loved ones.

The first Memorial Torch Run began on May 13th, 1975, establishing a long upstanding tradition proudly honoring the memory of those brave and dedicated individuals. The Memorial Torch signifies the eternal flame of remembrance for all the courageous men and women who lost their lives in service to others across Los Angeles County.

At the conclusion of this journey, the Memorial Torch will be used to ignite the “Ceremonial Flame” of the 57th Annual Los Angeles County Peace Officers Memorial where the names of 8 brave fallen peace officers will be formally honored.💙
