Louisiana’s congressional primary elections have been suspended following a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that struck down a majority Black congressional district, state officials said.
Governor Jeff Landry and Attorney General Liz Murrill said the decision prevents the state from moving forward with elections under its current U.S. House map.
Early voting had been scheduled to begin Saturday ahead of the May 16 primary elections.
State officials said they will now work with the Louisiana Legislature and election authorities to develop a new plan to move the process forward.
The ruling and resulting suspension mark an unexpected disruption to the state’s congressional election calendar.
A 21-year-old Los Angeles man identified as a singer, David, has been charged in connection with the death of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez, according to court records and prosecutors.
Authorities allege the defendant fatally stabbed the teenager and later took steps to conceal her remains. Prosecutors say the incident was connected to an alleged personal relationship between the two and a dispute over the victim’s intent to disclose that relationship.
Court filings state investigators later recovered evidence related to the case. Prosecutors allege the actions were intended to prevent the victim from speaking publicly about the relationship.
David has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder charges and is currently awaiting trial.
The case remains under investigation.
New court documents are revealing additional details about the California man accused of attempting to attack the White House Correspondents’ Dinner and target President Donald Trump.
Prosecutors say Cole Allen took a selfie of himself inside a hotel room just minutes before approaching the event, appearing to show him armed with equipment including a gun holster and knife.
Authorities allege Allen later tried to breach security barricades, prompting an exchange of gunfire with Secret Service agents before he was taken into custody.
Prosecutors say the evidence shows intent to kill and are asking that
Allen remain detained. His attorney maintains he is presumed innocent.
Orleans Parish Sheriff Susan Hutson has been indicted on 30 counts following a major jail escape in New Orleans, Louisiana.
A grand jury charged Hutson with malfeasance, obstruction of justice, and falsifying public records in connection with the incident.
State officials say the escape of 10 inmates through a hole behind a jail toilet was the result of poor management, not direct involvement by the sheriff.
All of the escaped inmates were later captured.
Hutson recently lost her reelection bid and is set to leave office on Monday.
At a White House event, President Donald Trump said his administration plans to release government files related to UFOs and unidentified aerial phenomena in the near future.
Trump made the comments during remarks alongside the Artemis II astronauts, saying the documents would be made public “very soon,” though he did not provide a specific timeline.
The announcement follows earlier directives from Trump ordering federal agencies to review and begin declassifying materials tied to UFO investigations and possible extraterrestrial life.
Officials have not detailed what the files contain, but the effort comes amid continued public and congressional interest in long-classified government UFO records.
The United States has indicted the governor of Mexico’s Sinaloa state and other current and former officials over allegations of ties to the Sinaloa cartel.
Prosecutors say Governor Rubén Rocha and others conspired with cartel leaders to facilitate the trafficking of large quantities of drugs into the U.S. in exchange for political support and bribes.
The case, unsealed in New York, alleges the officials used their positions to protect cartel operations and interfere with law enforcement efforts.
Rocha has denied the allegations, calling them politically motivated and an attack on Mexico’s sovereignty.
The indictment could strain relations between the United States and Mexico as both countries continue efforts to combat cartel-related violence and drug trafficking.
