NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! A Connecticut city opened its police force to lawful permanent residents and DACA recipients following an 18-2 city council vote, drawing pushback from one member who opposed the change.”I don’t think it is in any way intended to make our city feel safer,” Danbury City Council member Candace Fay, a Republican, told “Fox & Friends First” co-host Todd Piro.”There’s no public policy reason behind what the council did. There’s no overarching need for police officers in our city. There’s no demand that this will meet. It was done simply as a political narrative, overwhelmingly done by virtue signaling, and it’s further dividing our city,” she added.NEW MAINE LAW LIMITS POLICE COOPERATION WITH FEDERAL IMMIGRATION OFFICIALS Fay’s remarks come after the Danbury City Council voted last week to amend its police hiring ordinance, allowing lawful permanent residents and recipients of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) to apply to become city police officers.The change brings Danbury’s rules in line with those adopted by Connecticut’s Police Officer Standards and Training Council, which extended eligibility to lawful permanent residents in 2020 and DACA recipients in 2025.Though neither the city council nor Police Chief Patrick Ridenhour…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Authorities on Tuesday said key braking systems did not deploy during Sunday’s deadly plane crash after an Amazon cargo jet overran the runway at Miami International Airport and struck two vehicles, killing five people.While the aircraft’s wheel brakes were applied, available data indicates that the speed brakes and thrust reversers did not, according to the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB).There was “no indication in the recorded data that speed brakes or thrust reversers were deployed,” Chihoon Shin, the NTSB investigator in charge, said.Shin said investigators plan to interview the pilots involved, adding that officials are not yet going to speculate about what should have happened during the landing.AMAZON CARGO PLANE OVERRUNS MIAMI AIRPORT RUNWAY AND STRIKES ‘MULTIPLE’ VEHICLES; 5 DEAD, 5 INJURED “When we analyze the full list of parameters, we’ll have a better idea of the aircraft’s performance during this landing. Was it normal? Was it not? And what was working and what was not. So I’m not going to speculate on what should have been right now,” he said.”What we need to do is talk to the crew and get their account to understand how they’re manipulating the controls in…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! A federal appeals court on Tuesday upheld an injunction blocking the Internal Revenue Service from sharing personal information such as the addresses of taxpayers with immigration authorities, ruling the Trump administration’s policy was unlawful.The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit found that the IRS unlawfully disclosed taxpayer information in response to Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s request for the last known addresses of 1.28 million suspected illegal migrants. The court said the IRS failed to ensure that ICE’s requests met the “stringent conditions” required under a federal tax-confidentiality law adopted in the aftermath of the Watergate scandal, which generally bars the IRS from sharing tax-return information with other federal agencies.Last year, the IRS shared roughly 47,000 taxpayer addresses with ICE under a policy that aims to assist President Donald Trump’s mass deportation agenda. The IRS had adopted a policy that allowed ICE to collect taxpayer information, sparking lawsuits over allegations that the practice was unlawful.A lower-court judge sided with the plaintiffs and blocked the policy, although by that time the IRS had already shared 47,289 taxpayer records with ICE.IRS ERRONEOUSLY SHARED CONFIDENTIAL IMMIGRANT TAXPAYER DATA WITH DHS: COURT FILING The administration appealed, arguing the ruling hindered federal law…

LIV Golf filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in New Jersey, putting its current business model on hold after five years of operations. The filing follows the early conclusion of its 2026 season in Indianapolis after its primary financial backer withdrew support.

Out of the many storylines surrounding the first week and a half of college football season, one of the most unexpected was, of all things, weather.It started when the USC Trojans hosted San Jose State in Week 0 at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum in front of a sparse crowd. The LA area was beset by an unusually hot and humid spell of weather, thanks to remnants of a tropical storm off the West Coast. Combined with a brutal noon start time that provided no shade or relief throughout the game, the conditions meant there weren’t many fans brave enough, or quite frankly dumb enough, to endure a heat index of roughly 105 degrees. For a game that was decided within minutes of kickoff.That continued into Week 1, with teams like South Carolina and the Texas Longhorns hosting games during the middle of the afternoon sun in extreme heat. While more fans bought tickets, or even showed up to the stadium, many smartly left as soon as possible. Or in Texas’ case, huddled under the concourse in hopes of finding shade. Some had to be treated for medical conditions like heat exhaustion or dehydration.THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE.…

Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said on Tuesday it had captured a U.S. uncrewed submarine at the entrance to the Strait of Hormuz, offering a rare glimpse into how underwater drones are being used in military operations.Iranian state media said the vessel was a Dive-LD, a large autonomous underwater vehicle built by California defense firm Anduril. The 19-foot (5.8-metre) submersible can carry out missions including mine countermeasures, seabed mapping, intelligence gathering and the inspection of underwater infrastructure such as cables and pipelines, the company has said.“We trapped one of the most modern, intelligent and unmanned submarines of the terrorist American army at the entrance to the Strait of Hormuz. This submersible is equipped with the latest technologies,” the Revolutionary Guards Navy said in a statement carried by Iranian state media.In response, a Pentagon spokesperson said an underwater drone had “malfunctioned more than a day ago.”“It was surveying regional waters in support of ongoing operations. The defective drone was an older model that neither collected sensitive data nor carried any classified sonar or radar equipment,” the spokesperson said.Reuters could not independently verify Iran’s claims and the Pentagon did not address them in its statement.Anduril did not respond to a request for comment.The U.S.…
