Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Saturday that social media companies must moderate content on their platforms or else “we lose total control.”
Clinton told CNN host Michael Smerconish that while there have been some steps taken at the state level to regulate social media, she wants to see more done by the federal government to moderate content.
“We can look at the state of California, the state of New York, I think some other states have also taken action,” Clinton said.
“But we need national action, and sadly, our Congress has been dysfunctional when it comes to addressing these threats to our children,” she added.
Clinton said she believes the issue should be “at the top of every legislative political agenda” and called for the repealing of Section 230 of the Communications Act. Click here to read more.
BOSTON, MASS - U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Removal Operations officers (ERO) assigned to the Boston area apprehended a Salvadoran migrant unlawfully present in the United States who was wanted in his home country for crimes against humanity. Officers arrested the 50-year-old fugitive in Tisbury on September 17, according to ICE officials. The migrant, who is currently detained and awaiting removal, has a lengthy immigration history within the United States.
ERO Boston Acting Field Office Director Patricia H. Hyde described the crimes the unnamed migrant is accused of committing as “extremely serious and disturbing” saying, “He attempted to hide out in Massachusetts and escape the law in his home country. He posed a substantial threat to the residents of Martha’s Vineyard.”
The suspect’s long history with immigration authorities began when U.S. Border Patrol agents apprehended the Salvadoran fugitive on November 27, 1994, after he unlawfully entered the United States near Harlingen, Texas. He was issued a notice to appear before a Department of Justice immigration judge but was released from custody. Click here to read more.
EL PASO, Texas – Residents of a southeast Juarez neighborhood are demanding the government call off plans to build a migrant shelter near their children’s schools.
The residents of Praderas del Sol on Wednesday took cardboard signs to the construction zone and placed themselves in front of heavy machines grading the soil, momentarily halting construction.
“We are here to stop the construction of this shelter for migrants. It is something we don’t need,” said Beatriz Paredes, whose children attend the nearby elementary and middle schools. “We will be affected, and the children will be affected. A lot of children walk (to school) by themselves. We are not saying they (the migrants) are bad, but we don’t know what habits they have.”
The facility under construction is one of five multipurpose centers Desarrollo Integral de la Familia (DIF), a family services agency, is building throughout Juarez to shelter single women, moms with their children fleeing domestic violence, and migrants passing through the city.

Former president Donald Trump took a moment of silence at his Butler, Pennsylvania, rally on Saturday to honor a retired fire chief who died at a rally in the same venue 12 weeks prior.
Corey Comperatore attended Trump’s Butler rally on July 13 and died shielding his family as an assassin located on a nearby rooftop attempted to kill the former president. Trump returned to Butler on Saturday to complete the rally that ended in tragedy 12 weeks before.
At 6:11 p.m. on Saturday, exactly 12 weeks from the assassin’s first shots, Trump held a moment of silence for Comperatore, who’s uniform covered an empty seat at the rally in his honor. The touching moment featured a performance of “Ave Maria” to honor Comperatore, who attended services at Cabot Methodist Church in Cabot, Pennsylvania.
Trump went on to describe Comperatore’s legacy as “immortal.”
Comperatore was “a protector who put his life on the line for others and he loved doing it, and when the sound of gunshots pierced the air on that July evening, Corey leapt into the fire one more time. In his last seconds on this earth, he threw himself on the top of his wife and daughters. He didn’t want them hurt,” Trump said. “Every father and husband in America hopes that, if the time came, we would have what Corey had: tremendous courage, tremendous guts.” Click here to read more.
LAWTON, Okla. (Gray News) - A man in Oklahoma says he has recorded evidence of a Bigfoot but some online believe it’s a hoax.
The man, identified as Emmanuel Alfaro, posted the 10-second video to TikTok under the handle e_man580.
In the video, Alfaro appears to come across an apparent “Bigfoot” sitting in the forest. The video goes blurry as the creature turns to look at Alfaro, who takes off running.
Alfaro says in the caption of the video that he was doing some sightseeing at the Parallel Forest, a wildlife refuge in Lawton, Oklahoma when he spotted something in the distance.
“Scariest moment of my life, and I really think I caught a (expletive) Bigfoot on camera in Parallel Forest,” the caption reads.
The authenticity of the video has been questioned, with many in the comments noting that it looks like a Halloween costume. Some even mention a specific costume: the Jack Links Adult Sasquatch costume. Click here to watch video.
