 Russian court sentences 19 over 2024 Moscow concert hall attack    A Moscow court on Thursday convicted 19 people for their roles in the 2024 shooting at a concert hall that left 149 dead and more than 600 injured, one of the deadliest attacks in the city in years. The March 22, 2024, attack at Crocus City Hall was claimed by a faction of the Islamic State group. Authorities said four gunmen, all citizens of Tajikistan, opened fire on concertgoers waiting for a rock band performance and then set the building on fire. All 19 defendants received lengthy prison terms: 15 were sentenced to life, one to 22½ years, and three to 19 years and 11 months. Those serving life sentences will spend part of their term in prison and the remainder in a special regime penal colony. Fines ranging from 500,000 rubles (around $6,300) to 2.7 million rubles ($34,000) were also imposed.

 ICE ramps up enforcement in Boston amid Trump’s new crackdown on sanctuary cities

Immigrants in the Boston metro area are being detained while heading to work, near courthouses, and even in store parking lots as President Donald Trump targets sanctuary cities in a heightened immigration enforcement campaign. Families are reportedly staying home out of fear, while advocates note an increased presence of unmarked ICE vehicles in public areas, where agents have been observed targeting work vans. One video shows three landscapers at Saugus Town Hall being arrested after agents smashed their truck window.

The surge in enforcement has led Everett, north of Boston, to cancel its annual Hispanic Heritage Month festival, with the mayor citing safety concerns for community members. While officials in other states, like New Hampshire Governor Kelly Ayotte, have praised such actions, immigrant advocates in Massachusetts argue that the crackdown is fueling fear and anxiety in local communities. The Department of Justice previously filed a lawsuit against Boston Mayor Michelle Wu and the city’s police over sanctuary policies, which Wu called an attack on cities to distract from federal failures. ICE’s current operation, dubbed “Patriot 2.0,” follows a May crackdown that detained nearly 1,500 immigrants in Massachusetts and has intensified in the run-up to local elections. Officials say the focus is on criminal immigrants, but advocacy groups report that asylum-seekers and legal residents are also being affected. Detainees are being transferred to facilities across New England, with flights from New Hampshire alone moving over 300 people since early August. Community organizations have mobilized hotlines and volunteers to track ICE activity and support affected families, highlighting widespread fear over everyday tasks like going to work, picking up children, or using public transportation.
