New York proposal would ban police from making traffic stops for minor violations to pursue ‘racial equity’
A bill making its way through the New York state legislature would prohibit police from conducting traffic stops for minor violations in an effort to limit unnecessary stops and further “racial equity and public safety.” The proposal would bar officers from pulling people over or searching them for various traffic violations, including having a taillight out, expired vehicle registration tags, too much window tint or if the smell of marijuana is detected. In certain cases, evidence collected in violation of the bill may be excluded in court. The measure aims to limit “the frequency of traffic stops for minor violations in furtherance of racial equity and public safety,” according to the bill, as racial minorities in the state make up the majority of arrests and traffic stops. NY LAWMAKERS CALL FOR TRANSIT CHIEF’S OUSTER, FLOAT REFORMS AFTER DUFFY DECRIES SUBWAY ‘S—HOLE’ In Nassau County alone, black and Latino residents account for 61% of arrests, 50% of traffic stops, 60% of field interviews and 69% of pat-downs, despite making up under 30% of the county’s population combined, police data shows. White drivers are issued an average of 1.3 tickets per stop compared to two tickets for black drivers and 2.1 for Latino drivers, the data shows. A lawsuit against Nassau argues that police in the county have acted with racial bias when conducting traffic stops. Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman told reporters on Friday it is “ridiculous” to argue that there is racial bias in policing during traffic stops, saying that officers are usually unaware of the driver’s race before making a stop. MEAT CLEAVER-WIELDING MAN STABS YOUNG GIRLS IN BLOODY NYC ATTACK AS 110YEAR-OLD CALLS 911: POLICE “It’s just a bizarre argument, it’s pro-criminal,” Blakeman said, according to the New York Post. “It doesn’t matter what race you are. If you’re breaking the law, then you’re breaking the law.” Nassau Police Commissioner Patrick Ryder said minor infractions such as broken lights or expired registrations typically lead to warnings but that restricting the ability to enforce the law makes the roads less safe. “They say the roads are so bad in Nassau County. Well, you would just be taking another tool away from us that’s going to get these bad drivers off the road,” he told reporters. “Stop taking the handcuffs off of the criminals and putting them onto our men and women in law enforcement.” The county’s district attorney, Anne Donnelly, said the proposal “is the most ridiculous thing I have seen in my 36 years in law enforcement.” Donnelly also said she believes the bill would disproportionately impact Nassau because of the region’s high number of drivers and car accidents, as she claims it would allow people to essentially get away with breaking the law, according to the NYP. She referenced a traffic stop that resulted in the 1993 capture of serial killer Joel Rifkin, who murdered at least 17 people in the area before he was stopped over the missing license plate on the rear of his pick-up truck that had a body in its trunk, the outlet reported. “When an officer walks up to a driver and asks them for their license and registration — they never know what is going to happen next,” Donnelly said. “It’s important to be able to make these legitimate stops. There is no such thing as a routine traffic stop.”

Trump says US not willing to make deal with China unless trade deficit is solved
President Donald Trump said Sunday that he is not willing to make a deal with China unless the trade deficit of over $1 trillion is resolved first. While speaking to reporters on Air Force One, Trump said with some countries there is a trade deficit of over a billion dollars, but with China, it is over $1 trillion. “We have a $1 trillion trade deficit with China. Hundreds of billions of dollars a year we lose to China, and unless we solve that problem, I’m not going to make a deal,” he said. “I’m willing to make a deal with China, but they have to solve this surplus. We have a tremendous deficit problem with China… I want that solved.” SOME COUNTRIES TARGETED BY TRUMP TARIFFS SEEK NEGOTIATIONS, CHINA SAYS ‘NO WINNERS IN TRADE WARS’ Trump also said because of the tariffs, the U.S. has $7 trillion of committed investments when it comes to building automotive manufacturing plants, chip companies and other types of businesses, “at levels that we’ve never seen before.” But in terms of trade deficits, Trump said he has spoken with a lot of leaders in Europe and Asia, who are “dying” to make a deal, but as long as there are deficits, he is not going to do that. “A deficit is a loss,” he said. “We’re going to have surpluses, or we’re, at worst, going to be breaking even. But China would be the worst in the group because the deficit is so big, and it’s not sustainable. “I was elected on this,” Trump added.
Palestinian-US teen killed by Israeli settler in the occupied West Bank
Palestinian officials identified the 14-year-old US citizen as Omar Mohammed Rabea. A Palestinian-American teenager has been shot and killed by an Israeli Jewish settler in the occupied West Bank, Palestinian authorities have said. Palestinian officials identified the 14-year-old as Omar Mohammed Rabea and said he was near a settlement in Turmus Aya when the settler opened fire. There have been sharp rises in settler violence, incursions, attacks and arson against Palestinians and their property in the territory since Israel’s war in Gaza began. The Israeli army has also been carrying out a sustained assault on the territory in various cities and towns. Rabea was shot along with two other teenagers by the settler, said the town’s Mayor Adeeb Lafi. Palestinian officials condemned the shooting. “This is yet another example of the ongoing Israeli settler violence against Palestinians, with impunity,” one official said. The victim’s family has not yet made a public statement, but they have expressed their grief over their loss. International criticism of Israeli settlement expansion and Jewish settler violence has been mounting, drawing condemnation from human rights groups worldwide. Advertisement Israeli forces have opened an investigation into the killing, but there has been no immediate comment from authorities. The Israeli military and settlers operate for the most part without fear of judicial repercussions in Palestinian areas. There have been several cases of US citizens being killed by Israelis in the occupied West Bank. In 2024, Aysenur Ezgi Eygi, a 26-year-old Turkish-American activist, was shot in the head by an Israeli soldier while protesting against illegal Israeli settlements, according to witnesses. Shireen Abu Akleh, a Palestinian-American journalist for Al Jazeera, was also killed by the Israeli military in 2022 while reporting in the occupied West Bank, despite being clearly identified as a member of the press.

RFK Jr makes Texas stop to visit family of 6-year-old measles victim, push MMR vaccine
Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. made a stop in Texas on Sunday and visited the family of a 6-year-old girl who died of the measles virus in February. Kennedy confirmed the visit to Texas in a post on X in which he encouraged people to get the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine amid rising measles cases. “I came to Gaines County, Texas, today to comfort the Hildebrand family after the loss of their 8-year-old daughter Daisy,” Kennedy wrote in the post. “I got to know the family of 6-year-old Kayley Fehr after she passed away in February. I also developed bonds with and deep affection for other members of this community during that difficult time.” Kennedy said his intention was to visit Gaines County quietly, console the families and be with the community while they grieve. SECOND CHILD WITH MEASLES HAS DIED IN TEXAS, OFFICIALS SAY But he also said he was there to support Texas health officials and to learn how HHS agencies can be better partners to control the measles outbreak. As of Sunday, there were 642 confirmed cases of measles across 22 states, and 499 of those are in Texas. Kennedy deployed a team from the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in March to help bolster the local and state response to the outbreak while also supplying pharmacies and state-run clinics with MMR vaccines and other supplies. MEASLES OUTBREAK CONTINUES: SEE WHICH STATES HAVE REPORTED CASES Kennedy also had the team work with local schools and healthcare facilities to support contact investigations and reach out to communities to answer questions regarding healthcare. “The most effective way to prevent the spread of measles is the MMR vaccine,” Kennedy wrote in the social media post. “I’ve spoken to Governor Abbott, and I’ve offered HHS’ continued support. At his request, we have redeployed CDC teams to Texas. We will continue to follow Texas’ lead and to offer similar resources to other affected jurisdictions.” PARENTS OF GIRL WHO DIED AFTER MEASLES INFECTION SAID THEY WOULDN’T GET MMR VACCINE The grim Texas measles tally includes six infants and toddlers at a daycare center in Lubbock who tested positive within the past two weeks, according to NBC News. Two of those children are among 56 people who have been hospitalized with measles in the area since the disease began spreading in January. About one to three out of every 1,000 children infected with measles die from respiratory and neurological complications, according to data from the CDC. Nearly one out of every 20 children with measles suffers from pneumonia, which is the most common cause of death from measles in young children. The measles outbreak began in Texas in late January but has since spread to a few other states. Fox News Digital’s Landon Mion contributed to this report.
