 A Mother's Day Nightmare in Princeton, Illinois. A 3-year-old boy was struck by gunfire as police burst into a barricaded room, ending a frightening hostage situation. Multiple agencies responded to the Hummingbird Mobile Home Park in Princeton, Illinois, on Sunday, May 10th at 2:42 a.m. The initial call went out as a domestic disturbance but officers discovered much worse.  42-year-old, Anthony Rodriguez, had barricaded himself in a room armed with a knife. Anthony had taken several people as hostages, including Aurora Almanza and her 3-year-old son.  Multiple agencies were on the scene, including the Bureau County Sheriff's Office, Illinois State Police and  the Princeton Police Department.  Authorities attempted to negotiate but ultimately rushed the room when they heard screaming coming from inside.  Officials have reported that officers fired shots as they entered the room.

MINNESOTA BORDER AGENTS SEIZE 100,000 ILLEGAL E-CIGARETTES FROM CHINA . (PHOTO).


 Minnesota border agents seize 100,000 illegal e-cigarettes from China 

U.S. border agents in Minnesota seized a shipment containing more than 100,000 illegal e-cigarette products from China, valued at roughly $1.47 million, that was headed to a California nicotine wholesaler.

Customs and Border Protection officers in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area intercepted the pallets, which included around 90,000 illicit Electronic Nicotine Delivery Systems and 75,000 refill cartridges. Officials said the products violated federal law under the FDA’s Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act due to a lack of required marketing authorization, and were deemed “adulterated” and “misbranded.”

The shipment included popular vaping flavors such as Blue Razz, Iced Lush, Blue Lightning, Gum Mint, Turkish Tobacco, and Classic Tobacco. LaFonda D. Sutton-Burke, field operations director at CBP’s Chicago office, credited intelligence sharing for helping officers identify and stop the illegal shipment, emphasizing the potential risks these products pose to public health.

Federal authorities noted the seizure is part of ongoing efforts to combat illicit e-cigarette trafficking. Last month, officials conducted their largest sting to date, confiscating nearly $90 million in illegal vaping products, and joint operations with the FDA have resulted in more than 2 million units seized from distributors and retailers across seven states. Sutton-Burke said CBP will continue working with consumer product safety partners to identify and remove unsafe and illicit goods from U.S. markets.
