Frontline betrayal | FCCJ September 2025 | Gaza Media Special Report Part I Reporters in Gaza are being killed at an astonishing rate.

More journalists have been killed in Gaza than in the US Civil War, WW I and II, the Korean War & the Vietnam War combined. In this special report, we detail the growing death toll among (mainly) Palestinian journalists and ask, has our silence enabled their slaughter? www.fccj.or.jp/number-1-shi...

ICE is joining D.C. police patrols. Moped drivers are an early target. D.C. policeโ€™s efforts to enforce moped laws resulted mostly in food delivery driversโ€™ immediate release. That has changed.

NEW: As immigrant delivery drivers started using mopeds, D.C. police pushed greater enforcement of their vehicles.

Now, amid Trumpโ€™s federal takeover, ICE is joining their patrols โ€” and detained at least 11 of those drivers.
