Ballester said the Dominican Republic does not deport unaccompanied minors and that officials now separate women and children from men during deportations five teenagers without their parents were deported who said he was detained while working in a field He and the four others were interviewed by Haitian officials in Belladère who were trying to track down their parents a 10-year-old unaccompanied girl was deported in late January "These children are amongst the most vulnerable," she said noting that gangs along the border prey on them the Dominican Republic deported 1,099 unaccompanied children; 786 of them were reunited with their families when he was recently deported alone to Haiti she said she rushed to the Dominican detention center where he was being held but was told the government doesn't deport unaccompanied minors Jean paid a smuggler to bring her son back to the Dominican Republic days later "Children who are born here have no idea where to go," she said of those deported to Haiti were born in the Dominican Republic but lack birth certificates or other official documentation proving their legal status with activists accusing the government of allowing work permits to expire or refusing to process their paperwork The Dominican Republic does not automatically bestow citizenship to everyone born there Dominican employers in the agriculture and construction industries are complaining At least one cell phone was recording when Mikelson Germain tried to evade Dominican authorities late last year He was running on a roof when an official caught him and pushed him off it The woman recording shrieked and started crying I fell on an electrical wire first," Germain said in a video taped by a nonprofit organization With his leg injured and his cousin's children holding on to him Activists accused the official of attempted murder outraged at what they said was the treatment and arrests of their Haitian neighbors One man tried to disarm a migration official before shots were fired and everyone scattered President Abinader warned Haiti's situation is a danger to the region and that there could be an "uncontrollable wave of migration" as he called for more support for a U.N.-backed mission in Haiti struggling to fight gangs "There is no Dominican solution to the Haitian crisis," he said "Haiti is drowning while an important part of the international community watches passively from the shore."

With assets located in a historic copper mining district in Chile that boasts high-grade mineralization and low-cost operations, Red Metal Resources (CSE:RMES) is well-positioned to benefit from Chile’s globally significant copper sector The company holds 3,278 hectares across 21 secure mining claims within the Carrizal Alto mining district in the prolific Coastal Cordillera The Carrizal property comprises two projects - Farellon and Perth - located in an area with a rich copper and gold production history The Carrizal Alto district provides a favorable geographic position located at a low elevation of around 500 meters above sea level reducing the logistical challenges often associated with exploration in higher-altitude regions The district is also well-connected by infrastructure including highways and proximity to major urban centers Red Metal Resources' property is situated just 150 kilometers south of Copiapó and only 20 kilometers west of the Pan-American Highway This close access to infrastructure allows for easier transportation of equipment and supplies as well as streamlined access to labor and other resources Red Metal Resources enhances its portfolio of clean energy exploration projects with the acquisition of three mineral claim packages contiguous to Quebec Innovative Materials Corp.'s (QIMC) recent hydrogen sample discovery of over 1,000 ppm The claims are located within the Timiskaming Graben formation covering 19 cells and totaling over 1,100 hectares Red Metal Resources intends to begin initial exploration and field work that could include a soil gas survey geophysical surveys and fieldwork in the municipality of St-Bruno-de-Guigues sector This Red Metal Resources profile is part of a paid investor education campaign.* Click here to connect with Red Metal Resources (CSE:RMES) to receive an Investor Presentation With assets located in a historic copper mining district in Chile that boasts high-grade mineralization and low-cost operations Red Metal Resources represents a compelling investment opportunity and lots of potential for increasing shareholder value Chile is the largest producer of copper worldwide accounting for nearly 28 percent of the global supply Given the country’s favorable mining policies Red Metal Resources is well-placed to leverage these advantages as it advances its projects in this prolific region The company's Carrizal property comprises two key project areas: the Farellon project in the south and the Perth project in the north The renowned Carrizal Alto mining district has a rich history of copper and gold production dating back to the 19th century the district was one of Chile’s most productive copper regions situated within Chile’s prolific Coastal Cordillera belt which boasts high-grade copper mineralization and low-elevation Red Metal Resources is working to rejuvenate Carrizal’s legacy by bringing modern exploration techniques to the region’s underexplored deposits Red Metal Resources entered into a letter of intent (LOI) to acquire a 100 percent interest in three separate packages of mineral claims directly contiguous to Quebec Innovative Materials' recent hydrogen sample discovery of over 1,000 ppm located within the Timiskaming Graben formation covering 19 cells and totaling over 1,100 hectares to the North Northeast and Southwest of QIMC's Hydrogen sample discoveries The company intends to begin initial exploration and field work that could include: Red Metal Resources’ management team brings together a blend of technical and business expertise driving the company toward its goal of contributing to the growing global demand for copper and clean energy transition The company also benefits from a board of directors and advisors with substantial experience in capital markets This combination of technical expertise and business acumen is critical for Red Metal Resources as it seeks to advance its projects from exploration to potential production The district's mining history dates back to the early 19th century when it became one of the most important copper production regions in Chile One of the key advantages of the Carrizal Alto district is its favorable geographic position The area is located at a low elevation of around 500 meters above sea level which reduces the logistical challenges often associated with exploration in higher-altitude regions the district is well-connected by infrastructure The property is situated just 150 kilometers south of Copiapó The Carrizal Alto district offers a blend of historical mining data and modern exploration potential While the region was heavily mined in the 19th and early 20th centuries much of the area remains underexplored using modern methods thanks in part to Red Metal Resources’ exploration efforts The company’s Carrizal property spans 3,278 hectares and comprises two projects: Farellon and Perth The Farellon project is Red Metal Resources’ flagship asset located in the southern portion of the Carrizal Alto mining district The project is a high-grade iron-oxide-copper-gold vein deposit that has been the focus of much of the company’s exploration activities The mineralization at Farellon is primarily hosted in quartz-calcite veins that contain chalcopyrite bornite and chalcocite sulphide mineralization These veins range from 3 to 6 meters in width with a halo of lower-grade mineralization extending 15 to 20 meters around the veins Farellon is located adjacent to the historic Carrizal Alto mine one of Chile’s most prolific copper mines during the 19th century The mineralized veins on the Farellon property are believed to be part of the same geological structure that hosted the mineralization at the Carrizal Alto mine Historical mining in the area provides valuable insights into the region’s geology which Red Metal Resources is leveraging to guide its exploration strategy the company has completed over 9,000 meters of drilling at Farellon identifying a mineralized strike length of approximately 1.5 kilometers The mineralization remains open along strike for an additional 3.5 kilometers the company completed a 2,010-meter diamond drilling program that extended the known mineralization at depth and identified a parallel structure located in the northern portion of the Carrizal Alto district is Red Metal Resources’ second major exploration asset The project holds considerable potential for copper-gold-cobalt mineralization Perth is characterized by fault-related quartz veins that have been mapped and sampled across the property Historical prospecting and mapping programs have identified 12 veins with an average thickness of 2 meters and some zones reaching up to 6 meters in width Exploration at Perth has yielded promising results with 48 surface samples returning gold values greater than 1 g/t 46 samples returning copper grades exceeding 1 percent and 19 samples showing cobalt values above 0.05 percent These early-stage exploration results are encouraging and suggest that the Perth project has the potential to host significant copper-gold-cobalt mineralization Caitlin Jeffs is a

(TSXV:ELEC)(OTCQB:ELECF) to receive an Investor Presentation Empire Metals (OTCQB:EPMLF, AIM:EEE) is unlocking one of the world’s largest and purest titanium deposits at its flagship Pitfield project in Western Australia. With growing global demand, a looming supply deficit, and near-term development milestones, Empire offers a compelling investment opportunity in the critical minerals space Empire Metals (OTCQB:EPMLF, AIM:EEE) is an Australian focused exploration and resource development company rapidly gaining international attention for its discovery and rapid development of what is believed to be the world’s largest titanium deposit The company is focused on advancing its flagship asset With a dominant landholding of more than 1,000 sq km and a titanium mineral system that spans 40 km in strike length Pitfield is emerging as a district-scale “giant” discovery with the potential to reshape the global titanium supply landscape Titanium has been designated as a critical mineral in both the EU and the US With more than 22,000 meters of drilling already completed and only a fraction of the mineral system tested Empire is aggressively advancing Pitfield towards a maiden JORC-compliant mineral resource estimate the company is also undertaking bulk sampling and metallurgical processing to advance flowsheet design and optimize product specifications It is also engaging with industry players to assess product suitability for premium pigment and titanium sponge markets a mining study to evaluate the potential for a low-cost strip mining approach The company is supported by a seasoned leadership team with deep expertise in exploration metallurgy and capital markets — ensuring that strategic decisions are guided by both technical excellence and a strong track record of value creation the Pitfield project is Empire Metals’ flagship asset and represents one of the most exciting titanium discoveries globally Spanning an area of approximately 1,042 sq km the project has revealed a colossal mineral system measuring 40 km in length and up to 8 km in width with geophysical indications of mineralization extending to at least a depth of 5 km Pitfield’s prime location in Western Australia Extensive drilling across the project has intercepted thick laterally continuous zones of high-grade titanium dioxide mineralization highlighting the system’s enormous scale and consistency The titanium at Pitfield occurs predominantly in the minerals anatase and rutile within a weathered often exceeding 90 percent titanium dioxide They are free from harmful amounts of contaminants like uranium chromium and phosphorus — qualities that are likely to make the deposit uniquely suitable for premium high-purity titanium applications in aerospace Pitfield is strategically located near the town of Three Springs approximately 150 km southeast of the port city of Geraldton The project benefits from direct access to essential infrastructure This connectivity significantly enhances development potential by reducing logistics costs and simplifying future project build-out the Western Australian government actively supports critical mineral development mining-friendly jurisdiction known for streamlined permitting and investment security Empire has completed more than 22,000 meters of drilling confirming standout titanium dioxide (TiO2) results such as 154 meters at 6.76 percent TiO2 mineralization remains open at depth in all tested zones only around 5 percent of the interpreted system has been drilled This underscores the immense upside potential for resource expansion The Pitfield project presents a scalable processing pathway Photo shows a gravity flotation test in process (left) and a close-up of a flotation test (right) Pitfield is advancing toward a maiden JORC-compliant mineral resource estimate The project is already being recognized as a potential cornerstone asset in the global titanium supply chain Empire Metals maintains a portfolio of early-stage exploration assets offering optionality and exposure to other strategic and precious metals Empire holds interests in two Western Australian projects — the Walton and Eclipse gold projects

Carrizal was the only biker who stood trial — but the judge declared a mistrial because of a deadlocked jury, according to The Associated Press Carrizal testified that the Cossacks provoked his group and one member tried to punch him through his helmet before the gunfire broke out Carrizal said he fired a shot at a Cossack The McLennan County district attorney’s office later dropped all of the cases against the bikers.

When leaving the McLennan County Courthouse Friday Carrizal said he knew his battle was only beginning A new motion filed in McLennan County claims that McLennan County District Attorney Abel Reyna withheld evidence during the Twin Peaks' trial for Christopher Jacob Carrizal both the prosecution and the defense are required to release all evidence and interviews – this process is called discovery The motion asks that during the next trial with Burton George Bergman that the court determine if the prosecution withheld evidence and a biker accused in the Twin Peaks shootout had recordings with the Texas Attorney General's liaison to the DA office the attorney for Christopher Jacob Carrizal the biker whose trial ended in a mistrial in November told Central Texas News Now over the phone that she was the one who spoke with Lindsey and recorded him making those allegations She said she released the recording to Bergman's attorney The motion said Lindsey is heard on the recordings saying the "McLennan County District Attorney's office is engaging in 'double dealing,' and 'hiding things,' that both the prosecution and the defense are supposed to know about The motion said that in the recording Lindsey said Reyna "told them to 'hang onto evidence' that a Texas Ranger fully believed was covered by a judge's Twin Peaks' discovery order." Central Texas News Now spoke with Reyna over the phone He said that Lindsey had approached him about a month ago and apologized for his comments He then issued a statement to Central Texas News Now Lindsey approached me almost a month ago about his comments in this conversation and apologetically explained to me the context and reasoning behind his statements.  I can assure you that the District Attorney’s office and the Attorney General’s office are on the same page regarding this matter.  As for the subject matter of the motion the D.A.’s office is not withholding any evidence.  There were items that were discovered during the Carrizal trial that were sealed and placed under protective order.  Judge Johnson will address those matters on a case by case basis.  For Mr Gotro told Central Texas News Now that she thinks the state is withholding evidence because it hurts the case When more evidence came out during Christopher Jacob Carrizal's trial "Everything discovered in mid-trail undermined the state's case." Gotro went on to say she thinks the recording speaks for itself and that the motion needs to be pursued Texas (AP) — A judge declared a mistrial Friday in a case involving a leader of the Bandidos biker gang after jurors said they were hopelessly deadlocked in the first trial stemming from the deadliest shootout between biker groups in U.S This comes a week after a mistrial was declared in an El Paso case where a Bandidos member was accused in the beating of two rival motorcycle club members.  More: Mistrial declared in Bandidos biker beating case outside East Side eatery Jurors had deliberated for 14 hours in the trial of Christopher "Jake" Carrizal the president of the Bandidos' Dallas chapter Carrizal had testified that a rival biker club brawl and gunfight at the Twin Peaks restaurant in Waco that left nine bikers dead The mistrial leaves unclear the prospects faced by other defendants charged in the shootout Experts had been looking toward a verdict from the Carrizal trial as an indicator of how solid the government's cases against other leaders and dozens of members might be Local police arrested 177 bikers after the mayhem and more than 150 people were eventually charged More: Rift over funds for child with cancer possibly led to fight, officer says in Bandidos case No retrial for Carrizal was immediately scheduled Calls to the prosecutor's office after State District Judge Matt Johnson declared the mistrial rang unanswered Carrizal was charged with directing the activities of a criminal street gang and two counts of engaging in organized criminal activity with the underlying offenses of murder and aggravated assault Carrizal told the McLennan County jury that the Cossacks were behaving provocatively when Carrizal's group arrived at the restaurant for a meeting Carrizal said a Cossack was trying to punch him through his safety helmet with brass knuckles when he heard gunshots He said he tried to reach for the knife in his pocket but couldn't grasp it As the fight continued and he was on the ground he reached for a two-shot Derringer pistol in his back pocket and fired it at a Cossack he took cover behind a light pole and yelled for his father He said he saw one member of his group lying dead and another bleeding from the head More: Bandido could face life in prison if convicted in El Paso biker battle He finally saw two police officers helping his father The Waco Tribune-Herald reported that in a note Thursday night the jury foreman reported a juror identified as "Mr P" told the other jurors he had prior experience with the Cossacks and would not change his mind because of it That juror has ties to a McLennan County motorcycle shop which he disclosed on his juror questionnaire in early October Biker gangs are a small but violent criminal force in the U.S. with some 44,000 members or associates of a handful of "outlaw" gangs is among the largest of the criminal gangs along with the Hells Angels and a couple of others The Cossacks were considered less violent until the Waco confrontation The start of any Waco trials was delayed by the enormous volume of evidence and several bikers' attempts to have their cases dismissed had complained before and during trial about delays in receiving evidence from prosecutors and law enforcement agencies that she was entitled to More: 2nd Kinfolk biker arrested in deadly Bandidos case The issue prompted Gotro to object when the judge instructed the deadlocked jurors on Friday morning that another jury would hear the same evidence if he had to declare a mistrial She said the delays in the disclosure of evidence against her client created an "absolute inability to use that evidence to prepare for trial." "I believe a second jury is going to hear a very different set of evidence," Gotro said Judge denies biker's request for delay in Waco trialAssociated PressFORT WORTH Texas — The Texas judge who would preside over the first trial of a biker allegedly involved in a Waco shootout at a meeting of rival motorcycle gangs that left nine people dead denied a motion to delay the trial Christopher “Jake” Carrizal was among more than 150 bikers indicted following the 2015 shooting on charges of murder conspiracy and engaging in organized criminal activity He could face up to life in prison if convicted claimed state District Judge Ralph Strother “grossly abused” his discretion when he declined to enforce her subpoenas for local law enforcement to appear and produce records in court Since taking up Carrizal’s case last spring Gotro has argued that the state has denied her client a 35-year-old train conductor and member of the Dallas branch of the Bandidos access to records and material evidence that she needs to prepare his defense “I think they tampered with evidence,” Gotro told The Associated Press on Wednesday citing incomplete law enforcement audio-visual recordings and at least three bullet casings that have not yet been tested in the investigation of the three Waco police officers who shot bikers during the gunfight A grand jury in September declined to recommend charges for the officers Prosecutors had asked the grand jury whether the shootings were justified after the officers had been cleared by an internal police investigation McLennen County Assistant District Attorney Michael Jarrett told Gotro that his office had “turned over the evidence that we have.” Ballistics reports seen by The Associated Press show that four of the people killed were struck by the same caliber of rifle fired by Waco police and that two of them were struck only by that kind of rifle Gotro also said that a motion to recuse Strother “will be filed imminently.” By law the motion would preclude Strother from taking any more action in Carrizal’s case until the issue is resolved Three other motions to recuse Strother filed by bikers are awaiting rulings The bikers claim that Strother has shown bias in favor of state prosecutors Strother could not be immediately reached for comment Strother denied the motion and ordered Carrizal and his attorney in court Thursday for a jury selection hearing Gotro has not responded to the court’s request to submit potential questions or objections to proposed questions on a questionnaire that will be submitted to the jury panel on Friday now or at any foreseeable time in the future comply with this court’s order and still provide effective assistance of counsel to Mr LAKELAND — A 26-year-old woman has been charged with stealing a boy's iPod from a Publix in South Lakeland Nancy Carrizal of Lakeland was charged with petty theft and tampering with evidence — the latter of which is a third-degree felony on the counter at the Shepherd Road Publix while his mother was checking out Anthony walked over to the scales to weigh himself Anthony asked the woman behind him in line if she saw it the boy's father called the Polk County Sheriff's Office Detectives reviewed the store's surveillance video which showed the customer who was in line behind the boy grabbing the iPod It was the same woman Anthony had asked about the iPod The video was posted on the PCSO's Facebook page Dec Numerous tips were received that the woman was Carrizal she confirmed she was the person seen in the video She told detectives she made a mistake and thought it was her phone "She said the iPod was dead and was sitting in her junk drawer and that was she planning on contacting law enforcement after the holidays when she felt better," a Sheriff's Office news release stated they turned it on and saw that its previous contents had been erased and had been reset to its original factory settings on or around Dec John Chambliss can be reached at john.chambliss@theledger.com or 863-802-7588 11 (UPI) -- A judge in Texas declared a mistrial after a jury said it couldn't reach a verdict in the first case to go to trial related to a motorcycle gang shootout in Waco Carrizal was among 170 people arrested in May 2015 for a gunfight between the Bandidos and Cossacks motorcycle club. Nine people died and dozens were injured in the incident, which also involved law enforcement officers at a Twin Peaks restaurant "There wasn't enough evidence that the Dallas Chapter, and specifically Jake Carrizal had committed any violence against any person that wasn't self-defense so today it's a victory," Carrizal's attorney, Casie Gotro, told KXXV-TV in Waco "We received good feedback from the jury and I think it is feedback we can utilize to make our case stronger," he said that this was going to be a tough fight and the one thing I can say is that I'm not going to give up." A pair of UTEP faculty members have volunteered to help the chapter promote and execute “Mindful Bridges,” a four-part social engagement series for caretakers of people in the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease a form of dementia that affects a person’s memory Elvira Carrizal-Dukes, an assistant professor of practice in the Chicano Studies program, and Sarah Yvonne Jimenez, an instructor in clinical nursing, will help with the free public workshops that began May 7, 2020. Interested participants should contact the chapter at 915-497-9930 or WestTexas@alz.org to reserve a space Carrizal-Dukes will talk about how to keep a journal and her husband comic book artist and publisher Ronnie Dukes Jimenez will co-facilitate the workshops that will encourage journal writing and doodling as ways to self-reflect and lower stress from a health care perspective “We anticipate it will be a very innovative way to reach those (participants),” Jimenez said She is completing her dissertation at The University of Texas at Tyler and plans to earn her doctorate in nursing this summer The Alzheimer’s chapter has asked her to serve the association as an El Paso ambassador at the state and federal levels in search of legislative support “We are very excited about rolling this program out.” The journals and doodles are tied to the advertisements that Dukes and Carrizal-Dukes developed for these workshops The couple created five four-panel color comic strips that focus on common challenges faced by caregivers and their patients with dementia The hope is that these suggested methods will help the caretakers to express their feelings and reduce anxiety “I am doing this to impact people's lives in a positive way,” said Carrizal-Dukes who is a doctoral student in UTEP’s Rhetoric and Composition program She expects to earn her degree this summer “It has never been more important for us to understand what it is like to have dementia and to find out what we can do to help in our community's response to the current crisis.” The University professor said her efforts fit in with the visual rhetoric and composition portion of her doctoral studies Part of her research involves how the visual arts and social justice can affect the world It is part of what she called GraphicMedicine a growing trend where medical issues and patient care are shared in a comic book style Carrizal-Dukes wanted to raise awareness of the issues faced by caregivers accomplished this through a few impactful words and images powerful and accessible method of delivering illness narratives,” Carrizal-Dukes said professor of rhetoric and writing studies and Carrizal-Dukes’ dissertation director She said comics may be a better way to communicate healthcare information to patients who are visual learners “People can learn more from these everyday stories that are vividly drawn than they might from reading about Alzheimer’s in a magazine or from listening to their doctor,” Mangelsdorf said.  the Alzheimer chapter’s director of programs and services He said a comic strip approach makes the message He also noted that the effect of dementia is multigenerational “The family unit caring for their loved one involves the children grandchildren and great-grandchildren,” said Hernandez who earned his master’s degree in art education from UTEP in 2002 “This medium appeals to broader audiences.”   Hernandez said he hoped that the workshops would give caretakers ideas on how they could spark memories and promote conversation with individuals with different forms of dementia He scheduled the workshops because of the COVID-19 outbreak and to coincide with June being Alzheimer’s and Brain Awareness Month Hernandez said he reached out to Jimenez and Carrizal-Dukes because they have worked together in the past He worked with the writer/artist when he was education curator at the El Paso Museum of Art and has worked with the nursing instructor through her volunteer work with his chapter as a community educator and support group facilitator “With UTEP’s strong presence in the community it makes sense to partner with the University,” Hernandez said “We share many of the same values and goals.” A former employee for the Office of Inspector General filed a whistleblower lawsuit Tuesday, saying he was wrongly fired after raising complaints about the way the office investigated Child Protective Services’ role in child abuse deaths. Joe Carrizal, Jr. sued the state Health and Human Services Commission, saying the agency knew about problems with the Inspector General’s death investigations, but failed to act on them because to do so would implicate its own incompetence, the lawsuit states. “Plaintiff was exposing a known political ‘hot potato’ that endangered the lives of countless Texas children and threatened the careers of numerous political appointees,” the filing states. Health and Human Services Commission spokeswoman Stephanie Goodman said the the lawsuit is “completely without merit.” Because of his complaints, Carrizal claims, he was fired in July. In his lawsuit, Carrizal states that investigators were ordered to complete cursory investigations that barred them from interviewing sources including key CPS employees, independent witnesses, local law enforcement or family members of the deceased children.
