 U.S equipment, experts arrive at Kenya Ebola facility despite court order, protests Around 20 flights carrying medical equipment and specialist staff have landed at a base in Kenya where the U.S. ​government is continuing to build an Ebola quarantine facility despite protests and Kenyan court orders blocking it, according to flight data and officials. At least two ‌people have been killed in protests in the central Kenyan town of Nanyuki, home to the Kenyan air force base where the U.S. military is building a 50-bed unit for Americans who might be exposed to the virus, which has infected hundreds in Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda.

WOMAN GIVES BIRTH ON BROOKLYN COURTROOM BENCH AFTER LABOR BEGINS DURING ARRAIGNMENT HEARING . (PHOTO).



Woman gives birth on Brooklyn courtroom bench after labor begins during arraignment hearing 


  A Brooklyn woman gave birth on a courtroom bench late Friday night, just hours after being discharged from a hospital, after going into labor during her arraignment on drug charges, according to police and witnesses.

The woman, identified as 33-year-old Samantha Randazzo, delivered a baby boy during the proceeding, with defense attorneys and court observers saying she gave birth “without adequate medical care, privacy, or dignity.” Her attorney did not immediately respond to requests for comment, but later described the moment as both “joyful and sad,” while praising court officers who stepped in to assist as her labor progressed.

According to law enforcement, Randazzo was arrested Thursday evening after officers said they observed two people on a rooftop at a public housing complex with a controlled substance in plain view. She was charged with criminal possession of a controlled substance and criminal trespass. Police said she did not initially disclose that she was pregnant and declined medical attention at the time of her arrest and intake.

Authorities said that early Friday morning, she later informed officers she was pregnant and reported experiencing drug withdrawal symptoms. She was taken to a hospital for evaluation and later discharged. Several hours after returning to court for her arraignment, she went into labor and delivered the baby shortly before midnight.

Emergency responders were called after the birth, and both mother and newborn were transported by medical personnel to a hospital for further care. Hospital officials have not provided additional details about her initial discharge prior to her return to court.

Public defender organizations that witnessed the delivery criticized the handling of the situation, calling for a formal review of custody protocols for pregnant individuals. They also raised concerns about reported comments made in the aftermath of the incident and urged a broader examination of how medical needs are addressed in the criminal justice system.

Officials involved have called for further review of the circumstances surrounding the arrest, hospital discharge, and court proceedings leading up to the birth.
