- ICE’s ‘Athletically Allergic’ Recruits
President Donald Trump’s plan to double the size of the ICE workforce has met a foe more powerful than any activist group. It is decimating new recruits at the agency’s training academy in Georgia. It is the ICE personal-fitness test.More than a third have failed so far, four officials told me, impeding the agency’s plan to hire, train, and deploy 10,000 deportation officers by January. To pass, recruits must do 15 push-ups and 32 sit-ups, and run 1.5 miles in 14 minutes.“It’s pathetic,” one career ICE official told me, adding that before now, a typical class of 40 recruits had only a couple of candidates fail, because the screening process was more rigorous.The academy’s standards have already been eased to boost recruitment, he said, and the new parameters “should be the minimum for any officer.” He and others, none of whom were authorized to speak with reporters, told me that… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.1 week ago - Why the No Kings Protest Moved MeRadicalized By Basic Decency read the sign of a middle-aged man in a ball cap and fleece jacket. Among the hundreds, maybe thousands, of people lining the main street of a small town in upstate New York on a perfect fall Saturday afternoon, this man and his words stuck with me. He was the sort of mild, ordinary-looking person you’d never notice in a crowd if not for his sign. And that was true of almost everyone. These were not the America-hating, Hamas-loving, paid street fighters that Republican leaders had dreamed up in the days before the countrywide “No Kings” rallies. Amid hundreds of American flags, I saw one Palestinian and several Ukrainian. The people were mostly over 40, many much older, some using walkers and wheelchairs, alongside parents with young children, like the woman with two small girls I saw standing slightly outside the crowd holding up a sign:… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.1 week ago

On a mild spring night in Chicago, a woman told her 18-year-old boyfriend she wanted money for a barbecue. He rounded up three teenage friends, each with a long criminal record, and, according to prosecutors, they donned masks, carried guns, and robbed four people, tossing two to the ground. They went searching for more victims in a stolen Kia; shortly after 1:30 a.m. they crossed paths with Aréanah Preston.Preston, a police officer, had finished her shift and, still in uniform, parked across the street from her family home on the South Side. The 24-year-old was to receive a master’s degree in law the following week. The police department viewed her as a future leader; the FBI had talked with her about a job. The young men in the Kia saw her as a target. They ran at her; a grainy security video shows muzzle flashes. Police and prosecutors say that… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.1 week ago - Brakes Top 2025 Roadcheck Out-of-Service Violations
Thousands of Trucks Placed Out of Service in 2025 Inspection Blitz The annual International Roadcheck, a large-scale inspection event led by the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA), took place from May 13–15, 2025, across North America. Over the 72-hour period, inspectors checked more than 56,000 commercial vehicles, putting nearly one in five out of service for safety violations. The overall vehicle out-of-service rate dropped to 18.1%, showing slight improvement from last year’s 23%. However, the driver out-of-service rate increased to 5.9%, up from 4.8% in 2024. When a truck or driver is placed out of service, they can’t continue operating until the issue is fixed — and this year’s inspections revealed that the biggest problems still come down to the basics. Brake Systems Top the List of Violations Once again, brake problems were the most common reason trucks were taken off the road. Inspectors found: 3,304 brake… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.2 weeks ago
