Out in the 4900 block of Reagan Drive where police and the FBI have blocked off the road in front of what appears to a motel. Itâs not clear what is happening but some people were seen handcuffed.
CMPD said in an alert it was âfederal court authorized law enforcement activity.â

Thanks for reading but ClickSaver is lame.
Itâs one thing to compete for scoops. Itâs an entirely different thing doing this.
Like it or not, paywalls keep local journalists employed.
I just know Iâm gonna see a âsupport local journalismâ ad from yâall at some point too lol

Iâm Till Eckert, a ProPublica reporter. For the past 2 weeks, Iâve been going to the same NY immigration courthouse.
Nearly every time, I see ICE agents arresting immigrants. Today, a woman was slammed to the ground after begging officials not to take her husband away.

4-year-old Jayce Edwards was a âray of lightâ to his family â learning his ABCs, numbers and how to tie his shoes.
Then came gunfire.
This week I spoke with his family about who Jayce was, and the life taken too soon.

For some time, he has claimed he is controlled by that âobject,â Brown's mother told the Observer. It started when he got out of prison for armed robbery in 2020. His family noticed a change. He was âstandoffishâ and talked to himself every so often.

THE REASON THE VIDEO WAS RELEASED IN THE FIRST PLACE IS BECAUSE LOCAL JOURNALISTS SUBMITTED PUBLIC RECORDS REQUESTS FOR THE VIDEO
Reminder that it was an anon who originally made this story go viral.
The media never would have picked this up. They intentionally tried to burry it.
But theyâre irrelevant now. The entire political consensus they manufactured is crashing down in real time. And all of you get to claim a part in making it happen.

Nearly a year after Helene, municipalities across WNC are still waiting for much needed FEMA funding.
FEMA has always been slow. But the Trump admin's attempts to rid the fed gov of waste and fraud has made a slow process even slower, state experts say.
