Oregon voter rolls case highlights national confusion over American Samoans’ citizenship status Nearly 200 American Samoans were mistakenly registered to vote in Oregon, exposing deep confusion across the country over their unique legal status as U.S. nationals without birthright citizenship.

This is a quirk in US federal law I didn't know about. Weird.

β€˜Constipated’ man claims enraged airline pilot had him arrested for hogging bathroom Exclusive: An Orthodox Jewish traveler says he was yanked off the toilet with his trousers down and subjected to an antisemitic tirade while nearby passengers gawked

The article didn't say so, but I assume these two victims are US citizens. Maybe United Airlines should change their pilots' uniform shirts from white to brown?

Two girls fell in love at a camp for β€˜troubled teens’ and made an audacious escape. Their captors weren’t far behind Cassia and Ashley felt β€˜dehumanized’ at the Re-Creation Retreat in Arizona, one of the many teen rehab facilities across the US. They knew they had to get out – but staff came after them

This situation is just horrible. Many of these youth concentration camps are in Utah; this particular one is on the Arizona Strip, just over the border from Utah, in a remote rural area where there is little or no law.
