OH Plans January Execution Using 3-Drug Combo: Representatives for Ohio announced Monday of the state's plans to resume executions in January with a new three-drug combination, following a three-year moratorium brought on by drug shortages and legal challenges. Andrew Welsh-Huggins of the AP reports that the drugs intended for use by the state are midazolam, which renders sleep, recuronium bromide, which causes paralysis, and potassium chloride, which stops the heart. The drugs have been approved by the FDA and are not compounded, says Thomas Madden of the Ohio attorney general's office. The last time Ohio carried out a death sentence was January 2014, when Dennis McGuire was put to death in a procedure that took 26 minutes using a two-drug combo that had never been tried. It was McGuire's execution which led to several complicating legal problems and changes to the state's death penalty system. There are over two dozen inmates on Ohio's death row with firm execution dates, some of which are scheduled as far out as October 2019. The next inmate in line to be executed is Ronald Phillips, who raped and
murdered his girlfriend's three-year-old daughter in 1993.
Video Shows Mob Attacking CHP Patrol Car with Officer Inside: A newly released video taken on Sept. 25 in Fresno, Calif., shows a police officer who responded to several calls about illegal street racing and reckless driving become surrounded by a mob of people yelling at him and kicking his vehicle while he sat inside. Kristine Guerra of the WaPo reports that the crowd of 30 to 40 people shouted, "F the police, we run the streets," as they violently kicked the sides of the officer's SUV and recorded the incident on their phones. The officer, whose name has not been released, drove away unharmed, while his patrol car sustained $12,000 worth of damage. Police have arrested three men in connection with the incident, two of whom are members of the Bulldog gang, and more suspects are being sought. Fresno Police Chief Jerry Dyer said during a Friday news conference that he believes this incident is a symptom of the current environment of riots and targeted attacks on police officers across the nation.
NY Community Reeling from Violent Impact of Immigration Policies: A violence-plagued Long Island, N.Y., community is pointing a critical finger at federal and local immigration policies that have allowed illegal immigrants to flood Suffolk County and gangs to thrive. Joseph J. Kolb of Fox News reports that over the past four years, 225,725 unaccompanied Central American children entered the U.S., 3,500 of them placed in Suffolk County between October 2013 and July 2016. A federal policy allowing Central American children apprehended at the border to be placed with illegal immigrant sponsors has enticed thousands of unaccompanied minors to journey to the U.S., where they are often placed in homes with little supervision and government monitoring. The HHS website indicates that in FY 2015, only 1,895 home visits were conducted out of 33,726 referrals made by DHS. This means that young migrants are even easier to target for gang recruitment by the MS-13, a notorious El Salvadorian gang that is thriving under Suffolk County's sanctuary city policies. Last month, two 15-year-old girls were brutally murdered and the skeletal remains of two teenage boys were discovered, all allegedly connected to MS-13.
