    Speech

    World Refugee Day 2025: Joint Statement to the OSCE

    Canada delivers a joint statement on behalf of the UK and other OSCE participating States to mark World Refugee Day.

    Madame Chair, I am delivering this statement on behalf of Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, the United Kingdom and my own country, Canada. 

    In marking World Refugee Day, we stand in solidarity with millions of refugees and renew our commitment to addressing their humanitarian needs, addressing the root causes of forced displacement and finding lasting solutions.  

    According to UNHCR’s Global Trends report, global displacement has nearly doubled over the past decade. Persecution, conflict, violence, human rights violations, and natural disasters have forcibly displaced more than 123 million people. Within the OSCE region alone, nearly 25 million people are either forcibly displaced or stateless. 

    The Russian Federation’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine remains the main driver of mass displacement in the OSCE region, resulting in the largest cross-border movement of people in Europe since the Second World War. UNHCR’s May report notes that nearly 5.6 million individuals have fled Ukraine, with over 3.7 million internally displaced.  Continued large-scale attacks, including strikes on energy infrastructure and continued aerial assaults on residential areas are fuelling urgent humanitarian needs and preventing Ukrainians from returning to their homes and families.  Women and children make up the majority of the refugee  population who have fled the conflict, with 63 per cent being women and girls, and 33 per cent being children. This demographic profile raises specific protection concerns, particularly around gender-based violence, trafficking, and exploitation. 

    In the 1999 Istanbul Document, participating States reaffirmed our commitment to respect the right to seek asylum and to ensure the international protection of refugees as set out in the 1951 Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees and its 1967 Protocol, as well as to facilitate the voluntary return of refugees and internally displaced persons in dignity and safety.    

    In times of uncertainty, we must continue to uphold these commitments.  

    In addressing forcible displacement, we must strive to reach the most in need and the most vulnerable, including women and girls, LGBTQI+ people, religious minorities and others directly affected by conflict or displacement.  We must also confront parallel risks and challenges, including trafficking, exploitation, discrimination, and intolerance. 

    We must also remember that inclusive societies are secure societies and recognize the positive impact that newcomers have on our societies and economies.    

    As we mark World Refugee Day, we honour the strength and resilience of refugees and we recognize their valuable contributions to the communities that welcome them.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Sobyanin opened an exhibition about Grand Duke Sergei Alexandrovich at the Museum of Moscow

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: Moscow Government – Government of Moscow –

    Sergei Sobyanin opened the exhibition “The August Master of Moscow”. It is dedicated to Grand Duke Sergei Alexandrovich (1857-1905) – the first and only representative of the imperial house of Romanov, who headed the First Throne (from 1891 to 1905).

    “The current exhibition at the Museum of Moscow, of course, cannot fail to attract attention and touch the hearts of Muscovites. Because the period when Sergei Alexandrovich was the Governor-General of Moscow is one of the best periods of the city’s development. I would call it a revolutionary period in general, because it was during his time that such an impetus was given to the development of Moscow, when it began to transform from a provincial, to put it mildly, not very comfortable and clean city into one of the best European cities. During this period, something was done that had not been done for a whole century before,” said Sergei Sobyanin.

    The exhibition at the Museum of Moscow (Zubovsky Boulevard, Building 2, Block 3) was prepared by the Elisabeth-Sergius Educational Society Foundation with the support of the Moscow Government for the 120th anniversary of the death of the Grand Duke. More than 30 leading museums, archives, libraries, and private collectors are participating in the exhibition.

    Statesman, military leader, manager

    Grand Duke Sergei Alexandrovich was one of the outstanding statesmen of the Russian Empire. He was a skilled military leader and a talented manager.

    While holding the post of Moscow Governor-General, Sergei Alexandrovich made a huge contribution to the development of all spheres of the city economy. Under his rule, water supply and sewerage systems were modernized, street lighting was carried out, the transport network was improved, and new buildings and structures were erected. In addition, the first stage of the city power plant was opened, and electric tram lines were built.

    With the direct participation of Sergei Alexandrovich, the project was developed and construction of the Small Ring of the Moscow Railway began.

    “Thanks to the active development of those times, the historical center of the city was significantly transformed,” wrote Sergei Sobyanin in

    on your telegram channel.

    The Grand Duke headed many scientific societies and institutions, patronized cultural and artistic figures, and supported creative educational institutions. With his personal assistance, a new building for the Moscow Conservatory was built and the Bolshoi Theater was restored. He also took care of students. For example, in 1899, a dormitory for Moscow University was built.

    The Grand Duke, who created for the benefit of the people, was killed by terrorists in the very heart of Russia – at the Nikolsky Gate of the Moscow Kremlin.

    What the exhibition will tell about

    Based on documents and materials from the state archives of Russia, and on numerous studies, the authors of the exhibition tell about the bright personality of the Grand Duke, his devoted service to the Fatherland and fruitful work as the Moscow Governor-General and commander of the troops of the Moscow Military District.

     

    The exhibition presents over 500 items, documents, photographs and other artifacts dedicated to the life, state, military and public service of the august master of Moscow. These are books from his library, letters, photographs, portraits of members of the imperial family and personal belongings, awards of charitable institutions and societies. In addition, rare archival documents on the activities of the Grand Duke as Governor-General and Commander of the Moscow Military District, his correspondence with family members and statesmen, military uniform, weapon models and much more are on display.

    Visitors to the exhibition will also learn about the charitable service of Grand Duke Sergei Alexandrovich and his wife, Grand Duchess Elizabeth Feodorovna. They supervised over 100 charitable societies and associations that helped those in need in Moscow and other cities of the empire. The exhibition tells about the activities of the Moscow branch of the Russian Red Cross Society, the Elizabethan Charity Society, and many other areas of charitable work. One of the sections is dedicated to the history of the development of Russian Palestine — the activities of the Grand Duke as the first chairman of the Imperial Orthodox Palestine Society.

    The authors of the project recreated a fragment of the furnishings of Sergei Alexandrovich’s living room in the Governor-General’s house on Tverskaya Street (house 13), where the grand ducal couple lived from 1892.

    “It’s great that we were able to show all the main areas of activity of Grand Duke Sergei Alexandrovich on this platform. Not only to highlight his work as Governor-General of Moscow and Commander-in-Chief of the Moscow Military District, but also to tell a little about his and Elizaveta Feodorovna’s personalities and spiritual appearance. And it seems to me that this Christian image of people who truly lived according to the Gospel, it inspires our contemporaries,” said Anna Gromova, PhD in History, leading researcher at the Institute of General History of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

    In the cinema hall, guests will be able to watch a documentary about Sergei Alexandrovich and the history of the Chudov Monastery. It was there in 1905 that the Grand Duke was laid to rest by decision of his wife, Grand Duchess Elizabeth Feodorovna.

    In addition, the exhibition tells about the legacy of the Grand Duke, the work of the Elisabeth-Sergius Educational Society Foundation to restore the memorial cross in the Kremlin at the site of the murder of the august martyr, and the revival of the Moscow region residence of the Moscow Governor-General — the imperial estate of Ilyinskoye-Usovo. In addition, visitors to the exhibition will learn about the creation of museums by the foundation in the historic buildings of the estate, the installation of a monument to the Grand Duke’s couple in Klimentovsky Lane in Moscow, and educational work to preserve the memory of them in different regions of Russia.

    The exhibition will also feature an educational program with lectures, overview and author’s excursions. The exhibition will run until September 21, 2025.

  • MIL-OSI United Nations: Commission on Limits of Continental Shelf to Hold Sixty-Fourth Session at Headquarters, from 7 July to 8 August

    Source: United Nations General Assembly and Security Council

    NEW YORK, 3 July (United Nations, Division for Ocean Affairs and the Law of the Sea (DOALOS), Office of Legal Affairs) ― The Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf will hold its sixty-fourth session from 7 July to 8 August at United Nations Headquarters in New York.  During the session, plenary meetings will be held from 14 to 18 July and from 28 July to 1 August.  The remainder of the session will be devoted to the technical examination of submissions by subcommissions on the Division premises, including geographic information systems laboratories and other facilities.

    Mr. Stig-Morten Knutsen, nominated by Norway, will attend for the first time the upcoming session of the Commission, following his election as a member of the Commission at the thirty-fifth Meeting of States Parties to the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea on 26 June, for the remainder of the term of office, until 15 June 2028.

    During the session, eleven subcommissions will consider submissions made by:  Mauritius in respect of the region of Rodrigues Island; Palau in respect of the North Area; Portugal; Spain in respect of the area of Galicia; Namibia; Mozambique; Madagascar; and Mexico in respect of the eastern polygon in the Gulf of Mexico, as well as revised submissions made by Brazil in respect of the Brazilian Oriental and Meridional Margin; Cook Islands concerning the Manihiki Plateau; and the Russian Federation in the area of the Gakkel Ridge in the Arctic Ocean.

    Coastal States that had not yet presented their submissions to the Commission were invited to present them at the plenary part of the session.  To date, the following submitting States accepted the invitation:  Denmark in respect of the Southern Continental Shelf of Greenland; and India (amended submission).

    Given that pursuant to rule 13 (Term of office) of the rules of procedure of the Commission, the two-and-half-year term of office of the officers (Chair and Vice-Chairs) of the Commission will expire later in 2025, the plenary of the Commission will elect its officers for the second half of the current term of office.  The Chairperson will also inform the Commission about the deliberations that took place at the thirty-fifth Meeting of States Parties to the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.

    Background

    Established pursuant to article 2 of annex II to the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, the Commission makes recommendations to coastal States on matters related to the establishment of the outer limits of their continental shelf beyond 200 nautical miles from the baselines from which the breadth of the territorial sea is measured, based on information submitted by those coastal States.  The recommendations are based on the scientific data and other material provided by coastal States in relation to the implementation of article 76 of the Convention and do not prejudice matters relating to the delimitation of boundaries between States with opposite or adjacent coasts or prejudice the position of States that are parties to a land or maritime dispute, or application of other parts of the Convention or any other treaties.  The limits of the continental shelf established by a coastal State on the basis of the recommendations are final and binding.  In the case of disagreement by a coastal State with the recommendations of the Commission, the coastal State shall, within a reasonable time, make a revised or new submission to the Commission.

    Under rule 23 of its rules of procedure (Public and private meetings), the meetings of the Commission, its subcommissions and subsidiary bodies are held in private, unless the Commission decides otherwise.

    As required under the rules of procedure of the Commission, the executive summaries of all the submissions, including all charts and coordinates, have been made public by the Secretary-General through continental shelf notifications circulated to Member States of the United Nations, as well as States Parties to the Convention. The executive summaries are available on the Division’s website at:  www.un.org/depts/los/clcs_new/clcs_home.htm.  The summaries of recommendations adopted by the Commission are also available on the above-referenced website.

    The Commission is a body of 21 experts in the field of geology, geophysics or hydrography serving in their personal capacities.  Members of the Commission are elected for a term of five years by the Meeting of States Parties to the Convention having due regard to the need to ensure equitable geographical representation.  Not fewer than three members shall be elected from each geographical region.  Currently, one seat on the Commission is vacant resulting from a lack of nominations from the Group of Eastern European States.

    The Convention provides that the State Party which submitted the nomination of a member of the Commission shall defray the expenses of that member while in performance of Commission duties.  A voluntary trust fund for the purpose of defraying the cost of participation of the members of the Commission from developing countries has been established.  It has facilitated the participation of several members of the Commission from developing countries in the sessions of the Commission.

    The convening by the Secretary-General of the sessions of the Commission, with full conference services, including documentation, for the plenary parts of these sessions, is subject to approval by the General Assembly of the United Nations.  The Assembly does so in its annual resolutions on oceans and the law of the sea, which also address other matters relevant to the work of the Commission and the conditions of service of its members.

    For additional information on the work of the Commission see the website of the Division at:  www.un.org/depts/los/index.htm. In particular, the most recent Statements by the Chair on the progress in the work of the Commission are available at:  www.un.org/depts/los/clcs_new/commission_documents.htm.

  • MIL-OSI Africa: World Health Organization (WHO) donates medical supplies and equipment to boost mpox response

    Source: APO


    .

    As part of its continued support to Sierra Leone’s health sector, the World Health Organization (WHO) has donated essential medical supplies, mpox test kits, and laboratory equipment, including five medical-grade refrigerators valued at over USD 126,000 to the Ministry of Health.

    The handover ceremony took place at the Hastings Treatment Centre, with WHO Country Representative Dr George Ameh officially handing over the supplies to Deputy Chief Medical Officer Dr Mustapha Kabba.

    The donation comes at a critical time as the country continues to respond to the ongoing mpox outbreak, with over 4,000 confirmed cases to date. The supplies will strengthen diagnostic and case management capacity at key treatment and testing sites: Lakka Hospital, Benguema Reference Laboratory, and Hastings Treatment Centre.

    “Our support today reflects WHO’s commitment to ensuring that frontline health workers have the tools they need to manage cases effectively and reduce transmission,” said Dr George Ameh, WHO Representative in Sierra Leone. “These supplies will help improve the quality of care and expand diagnostic capabilities at a time when rapid response remains crucial.”

    Receiving the supplies, Deputy Chief Medical Officer Dr Mustapha Kabba expressed deep appreciation for WHO’s ongoing support and used the occasion to commend frontline healthcare workers at Hastings.

    “We are sincerely grateful to WHO for their continued and timely support throughout this mpox response,” said Dr Kabba. “I want to encourage the hardworking team at Hastings Treatment Centre to continue the work. Your dedication is making a real difference, and we thank you for your tireless efforts in protecting the health of our communities.”

    The Hastings Treatment Centre, one of the designated facilities for mpox case management, is expected to receive a share of the supplies and equipment, which will be used to bolster patient care and improve cold chain storage for samples and medicines.

    “With these additional resources, we can ensure better storage of lab reagents, enhance patient care, and maintain the quality of our services,” said Dr Darlinda Jiba, the facility In-charge at Hastings Treatment Centre. “WHO’s continued support is a true morale booster for our clinical teams.”

    The support is part of WHO’s continued commitment to strengthening Sierra Leone’s health system and response capacity.

  • MIL-OSI Africa: Perenco’s $2 Billion Cap Lopez Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Project Signals Gas-Led Growth in Central Africa

    Source: APO

    Positioning natural gas at the center of its growth strategy, independent oil and gas company Perenco is driving one of Central Africa’s most ambitious energy developments through the Cap Lopez LNG terminal in Gabon – a flagship project set to come online in 2026. Situated at the existing Cap Lopez oil terminal, the $2 billion initiative will introduce a floating LNG (FLNG) vessel designed to monetize the country’s offshore gas reserves and reduce gas flaring. Following completion, the project is expected to serve as a catalyst for energy diversification and broader economic growth in the country.

    Marking Gabon’s first large-scale gas development following a final investment decision in 2024, the project signals a major step forward for regional energy security and industrialization. Currently under construction in Dubai, the FLNG unit will boast a production capacity of 700,000 tons of LNG and 25,000 tons of LPG annually, supported by storage infrastructure capable of holding 137,000 cubic meters. In support of this venture, engineering and construction company Technomak recently signed an agreement with Dixstone – a Perenco affiliate – for the integration of the offshore FLNG barge. Perenco is a Gold Partner at this year’s African Energy Week (AEW): Invest in African Energies in Cape Town.

    AEW: Invest in African Energies is the platform of choice for project operators, financiers, technology providers and government, and has emerged as the official place to sign deals in African energy. Visit www.AECWeek.com for more information about this exciting event.

    The project forms part of a broader energy strategy being implemented by Perenco in Africa. In the Republic of Congo, the company continues to expand its upstream footprint with the commissioning of the Kombi 2 platform on the Kombi-Likalala-Libondo II permit. Currently under construction by Dixstone at the Nieuwdorp shipyard in the Netherlands, the platform is scheduled to depart in October and enter into operation offshore Pointe-Noire by early next year. With an estimated investment exceeding $200 million – and forming part of broader developments nearing $900 million – the project includes new drilling phases, infrastructure upgrades and the optimization of existing wells. The Kombi 2 platform will feature an integrated wellbay module to accommodate new wells, aiming to unlock an additional 10 million barrels of oil equivalent, with targeted output gains of 4 million cubic feet per day. Power generation for the platform will be supported by dual gas turbined linked to a 33-kV electrical hub, reinforcing Perenco’s commitment to operational efficiency and sustainable resource development in Congo.

    On the exploration front, Perenco continues to cement its role as a premier independent in Africa’s energy landscape through a robust portfolio of upstream and gas infrastructure developments across the continent. In early 2024 an appraisal well in Gabon spudded near the Hylia South West discovery revealed substantial oil-bearing columns in the Ntchengue Ocean reservoir and reinforcing the potential of the lower Madiela carbonate formation. In Cameroon, the company launched its inaugural gas-to-industry project in July 2024, supplying 3.5-6.5 million cubic feet per day of natural gas from the Sanaga South field to the Keda tile factory via a 6-km pipeline – a milestone following its 9.9% equity acquisition in offshore operatory Golar LNG a month earlier.

    These initiatives underscore Perenco’s integrated energy strategy, with the company’s participation as a Gold Partner at AEW: Invest in African Energies 2025 set to showcase their strategic role in shaping Africa’s energy future through large-scale gas monetization, infrastructure expansion and frontier exploration. Taking place in Cape Town from September 29 to October 3, 2025, the event promises to shine a light on these transformative projects and drive high-level dialogue on investment, innovation and sustainable development in Africa’s oil and gas sector.

  • MIL-OSI Africa: West Africa: Relevant resolutions aimed at speeding up completion of the Praia-Dakar maritime link project

    Source: APO

    The Commission of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) must speed up the preparation and implementation of a regional cobotting scheme for the implementation of the Praia-Dakar maritime link project and other links in West Africa. This is one of the recommendations of the workshop on the evaluation and validation of the various financial options for the implementation of the Praia-Dakar maritime link, which ended on Wednesday 2nd of July 2025 in Dakar, Senegal.

    The ECOWAS Commission is requested to put in place the operational, infrastructural and technical preconditions to create the necessary environment for the launch and sustainability of the Praia-Dakar maritime services and other regional maritime links. It is also asked to ensure that the study on the Praia-Dakar maritime link is completed on schedule, and to follow up with the consultants, with a view to following up the resolutions resulting from this meeting.

    The Commission is also required to initiate discussions and processes for the creation of a regional register of ships flying the West African flag, with harmonised operational guidelines and procedures for the smooth functioning of maritime operators. Ensuring the participation of regional investors and citizens in the provision of maritime services, through an appropriate procurement mechanism with provisions for regional preference, is another resolution addressed to the Commission.

    The participants also urged ECOWAS to draw up management procedures for the Praia-Dakar maritime link, considering the creation of the Corridor Management Authority provided for in the project Treaty. As far as ECOWAS member states are concerned, Liberia and Guinea-Bissau are urged to complete as quickly as possible the ratification of the Corridor Treaty, which constitutes the main legal basis for the creation, financing and operation of maritime services.

    The Member States of the regional organisation will have to support the creation of a working group of maritime experts and collaborate actively with the ECOWAS Commission in order to ensure that the group functions properly. They will also be asked to provide information on examples of maritime transport services in the region, to assist the consultants in their review of the final report to be submitted.

    The participants have instructed the consultants to consider the comments and observations of the Member States, ECOWAS and development partners and to submit their final reports on time. They should also ensure that cost estimates are optimised to present a favourable economic and financial rate of return. This will include a review of vessel costs, residual value, existing potential and available financial inputs in the region.

    The consultants will also have to revise the economic analysis to take account of specific local market conditions to improve the viability of the projects, and provide clear details of port infrastructure requirements for Member States. In order to save time, participants urged consultants to propose an innovative tendering process that differs from the usual traditional one.

    The implementation of these various recommendations should facilitate and guide the rapid finalisation of the study and the launch of the implementation of the Praia-Dakar maritime link project. At the end of the proceedings, the Corridor Member States and participants validated the Phase 3 reports on the financial and implementation strategy for the creation of the Praia-Dakar maritime transport link.

    Speaking at the close of the meeting, Mamoudou Alassane Camara, Chairman of the Committee of Experts from the Member States of the Praia-Dakar maritime link, welcomed the quality of the recommendations made by the participants. The Director General of the Senegalese Maritime Affairs Agency, Becaye Diop, called for the rapid completion of the Praia-Dakar maritime link.

    This maritime link is a component of the Praia-Dakar-Abidjan multimodal transport corridor project. Considered strategic, it should be the subject of a specific management model proposal. The implementation of this maritime link will mark an important stage in regional integration in the ECOWAS region.

    As far as the Praia-Dakar-Abidjan multimodal transport corridor project is concerned, it represents an essential element in the wider strategy of ECOWAS to facilitate the free movement of people and goods within the Community area, strengthen trade cooperation, promote economic development and stimulate regional trade.

    Source: US Immigration and Customs Enforcement

    DEL RIO, Texas — A San Antonio man was sentenced in a federal court to 10 years in prison for one count of conspiracy to transport illegal aliens. This investigation was conducted by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement with assistance from U.S. Border Patrol.

    Richard Rindeikis, 44, was sentenced July 2 by a federal judge to 120 months for his role in a human smuggling event. Rindeikis was arrested Nov. 18, 2024. He pleaded guilty Feb. 5 to one count for conspiracy to transport illegal aliens.

    “This sentencing is a grim reminder of the extreme measures smugglers will take for profit, endangering the lives of vulnerable individuals in the process,” said ICE Homeland Security Investigations San Antonio Special Agent in Charge Craig Larrabee. “Smuggling human beings inside a tanker trailer is not only illegal, but also inhumane. Thanks to the swift work of law enforcement, the victims were rescued before tragedy struck. HSI remains relentless in our mission to dismantle smuggling networks and protect human life at every turn.”

    “This district has seen far too many instances of human smuggling like this one end in tragedy. If not for the excellent work by the U.S. Border Patrol in this case, we may have seen another,” said U.S. Attorney Justin R. Simmons for the Western District of Texas. “My office will continue to pursue, prosecute, and seek to punish those who selfishly value profit over human life.”

    According to court documents, on Nov. 18, 2024, Rindeikis was driving a truck connected to a tanker trailer when he was subjected to inspection at a U.S. Border Patrol checkpoint near Carrizo Springs. He claimed the tanker was empty and, when he couldn’t locate his driver’s license, was referred to secondary inspection. USBP agents observed that the hatches on top of the tanker trailer were closed and completely secured. When they opened the hatches, they discovered numerous people sitting inside the tanker. A total of 25 illegal aliens from Ecuador, Colombia, El Salvador, Honduras, and Mexico, were removed and Rindeikis was placed under arrest. He was indicted for two counts and pleaded guilty to count one on Feb. 5, 2025.

    Assistant U.S. Attorney Joseph Duarte II for the Western District of Texas prosecuted the case.

    Members of the public can report crimes or suspicious activity by calling the ICE Tip Line at 866-DHS-2-ICE (866-347-2423) or by completing the online tip form.

    Source: US State of Vermont

    Today, the Justice Department announced that it reached an agreement with a Michigan school district to address the discriminatory use of seclusion and restraint against students with disabilities, in violation of Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Under the settlement agreement, the Montcalm Area Intermediate School District will end the use of seclusion, reform its restraint practices, and improve special education services for students with disabilities.

    During the period covered by the investigation, with which the school district fully cooperated, students with disabilities were secluded and/or restrained on more than 2,400 occasions. The Department’s investigation also revealed that the district used seclusion and restraint improperly, including using emergency crisis responses as punishment for normal classroom discipline issues.

    “Students with disabilities should never be discriminated against by experiencing the trauma of seclusion or improper restraint,” said Assistant Attorney General Harmeet K. Dhillon of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division. “Parents have the right to expect that the school systems they entrust with educating their children do not instead punish their children for having a disability.”

    “This school district serves the most vulnerable Michigan students, young children with disabilities,” said Acting U.S. Attorney Alexis M. Sanford for the Western District of Michigan. “I commend them for entering into this settlement agreement to provide their students with the care and services they need to get the education they deserve.”

    Source: US FBI

    NEWPORT NEWS, Va. – A Williamsburg man pled guilty today to distributing obscene visual representations of the sexual abuse of children.

    According to court documents, on Feb. 14 and 15, a police officer made contact with Xavier Joseph Stafford, 22, and asked Stafford to remove his vehicle from private property in Williamsburg. On Feb. 18, Stafford sent an email to the officer in which Stafford threatened to rape the officer’s daughter. Stafford included two animated images depicting child sexual abuse. The email also included a live photo repeatedly looping several frames of consecutive images of the officer’s home.

    Stafford is scheduled to be sentenced on Dec. 4. He faces a mandatory minimum of five years and up to 20 years in prison. Actual sentences for federal crimes are typically less than the maximum penalties. A federal district court judge will determine any sentence after considering the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.

    According to court records, between approximately January 2019 and February 2024, members of the alleged theft ring stole and directed others to steal motor vehicles, transported and arranged for the transportation of stolen vehicles across the nation, created front companies, altered vehicle identification numbers, made fake motor vehicle titles, registered stolen vehicles using those fake motor vehicle titles, and sold those vehicles to others for money and drugs. This investigation tied more than 175 stolen cars, many of which were new and “high end” to the ring. Some of the vehicles were stolen from airports, including Milwaukee’s General Mitchell International Airport, car dealerships, and car manufacturer’s assembly plants.

    “The charges unsealed against these defendants are the direct result of effective collaboration and countless hours of thorough investigative work by dedicated law enforcement professionals,” stated Acting U.S. Attorney Frohling. “I commend all involved in pursuing justice for the impacted victims and for seeking to hold the charged individuals accountable for their actions.”

    All twenty-three defendants are charged with conspiring to violate various laws of the United States, including conspiring to receive, transport, and sell stolen vehicles; remove, obliterate, or tamper with motor vehicle identification numbers; and produce and transfer false and fraudulent titles for stolen vehicles. If convicted of the conspiracy charge, each defendant would face up to 5 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.  

                  Twenty-one of the twenty-three defendants are also charged with interstate transportation of stolen vehicles or the receipt, possession, concealment, or sale of stolen motor vehicles that traveled in interstate commerce.  If convicted of one of these charges, each defendant would face up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.  Diaunte Shields, Brandon Mullins, and Nakiya Wright are also charged with the use of interstate commerce to transmit and transfer fictitious obligations or the presentation or offer of fictitious obligations.  If convicted of one of these charges, each defendant would face up to 25 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. 

                  Diaunte Shields and Lashawn Davis, Jr.  are also charged with drug trafficking crimes. If convicted of one of these charges, they would face mandatory minimum terms of 10 years and up to life in prison. Nakiya Wright is also charged with aggravated identity theft and, if convicted, would face a mandatory term of 2 years in prison. Defendants Diaunte Shields, Casha Griffin, and Nakiya Wright also are charged with conspiring to violate federal money laundering laws, and if convicted of that offense, each of them would face a maximum term of 20 years in prison and up to a $500,000 fine, or twice the value of the property involved. 

                  “Following a multi-year investigation, the FBI successfully dismantled a national auto theft ring that has been ongoing since 2019,” said FBI Milwaukee Special Agent in Charge Michael Hensle. “These individuals are part of a criminal organization responsible for hundreds of high-end motor vehicle thefts resulting in millions of dollars in losses. Their criminal activity involves a complex operation of stealing vehicles and transporting them across the country. In Wisconsin, this organization is responsible for drug trafficking multiple kilogram quantities of methamphetamine and fentanyl. The FBI and its law enforcement partners will continue working together to stop these crimes and protect the American people.” 

                  “This was a calculated, multi-state operation that went far beyond stealing cars—it was identity theft, forgery, and financial fraud on a significant scale,” said Jason Bushey, Acting Special Agent in Charge of IRS Criminal Investigation, Chicago Field Office. “These defendants didn’t just take vehicles—they exploited people’s identities, manipulated documents, and laundered illegal profits through sophisticated schemes designed to conceal their crimes. IRS-CI special agents followed the money, mapped out the financial structure of this organization, and worked side by side with our partners to bring those responsible to justice. Let me be clear: if you build your enterprise on fraud and deception, we will find you, we will expose you, and we will hold you accountable.”

                   “The Milwaukee County Sheriff’s Office was proud to be a partner in this endeavor from its inception, with deputy sheriffs and detectives from this agency playing a key role in identifying and capturing members of this crime ring,” said Sheriff Denita R. Ball. “As stated by others, this was not just a ring of car thieves. This group took advantage of innocent people and turned lives upside down. Their actions were calculated and callous. And now they will face the justice they deserve.”

                  This case is the result of a joint investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB), Internal Revenue Service-Criminal Investigations (IRS-CI), the Milwaukee County Sherriff’s Office, and the Wheaton Police Department (IL). The Sun Prairie Police Department (WI), Kenosha County Sheriff’s Department (WI), and numerous local and state law enforcement agencies throughout the country provided additional assistance.

    Operation Strike Out was investigated under the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces (OCDETF). OCDETF identifies, disrupts, and dismantles the highest-level criminal organizations that threaten the United States using a prosecutor-led, intelligence-driven, multi-agency approach. For more information about Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces, please visit https://www.justice.gov/ocdetf.

                  Assistant United States Attorneys Kate Biebel and Philip T. Kovoor are prosecuting this case.

                  The public is cautioned that an indictment is merely a charge, and the defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.

    Source: US Marshals Service

    San Francisco, CA – On June 25, members of the U.S. Marshals Service Northern District of California arrested in San Francisco a former U.S. Postal Service (USPS) employee wanted for violating pre-trial conditions by unlawful flight to avoid prosecution and fleeing to a foreign country.

    Johnny Q. Nguyen, 49, is alleged to have run a fraudulent mail scheme from July to December 2024, stealing over $90,000 from businesses and charities in Washington and California by sending fake government letters demanding fees. Nguyen allegedly funneled the money through an LLC shell company and laundered the proceeds via transfers and cash withdrawals. Authorities intercepted an additional $395,000 in intended payments.

    In May, Nguyen was indicted by a grand jury in the Western District of Washington on several charges, including mail fraud and money laundering. After a court appearance in the Northern District of California June 17, he was ordered to surrender his passport and restrict his travel. However, on June 24, he used a concealed passport to flee the U.S. on a one-way flight to Vietnam.

    On June 25, the U.S. Marshals learned of Nguyen’s flight and alerted the State Department’s Diplomatic Security Service, who intercepted Nguyen on a layover in Taipei, Taiwan, and put him on a return flight to San Francisco International Airport (SFO). U.S. Marshals took him into custody upon arrival at SFO and he was transported and booked into Santa Clara County Jail without incident. 

    On June 26, Nguyen appeared before U.S. Magistrate Judge Susan van Keulen for the Northern District of California and was ordered detained and transferred to the Western District of Washington in custody to appear on the charges. The mail fraud and money laundering case is being investigated by the U.S Postal Inspection Service.

  • MIL-OSI United Nations: Sustainable Development Goals Acceleration Depends on Space Technologies, Deputy Secretary-General Tells Committee

    Source: United Nations General Assembly and Security Council

    Following are UN Deputy Secretary-General Amina Mohammed’s remarks at the sixty-eighth session of the Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space, in Vienna today: 

    Let me begin with a simple truth: every phone call you made to get here, every global positioning system (GPS) route that guided your journey, every weather forecast that helped you pack — all of it depended on space.

    Space is not the final frontier.  It is the foundation of our present.   Without satellites orbiting overhead right now, global food systems would collapse within weeks.  Emergency responders would lose their lifelines.  Climate scientists would be flying blind.  And our hopes of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) would be out of reach.

    This is why your work matters.  This is why the work of this Committee — COPUOS — is not just important, but urgent.  For over six decades, through shifting geopolitics and changing priorities, this Committee has consistently delivered.

    Five space treaties.  Space sustainability guidelines.  The Space 2030 Agenda.  You don’t just talk about space governance — you create it.  But today, we need to shift our focus to scale.

    The United Nations has identified six critical areas for SDG acceleration: food systems, energy transitions, digital connectivity, education and skills, environmental action, and jobs and social protection.

    Every single one depends on space technologies.  This is a paradox when you consider that less than half of UN Member States have a satellite in orbit, yet all 8 billion people on Earth benefit from space services daily. 

    Through your work, and through the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA), we can close this divide — not by putting a satellite in every nation’s hands, but by ensuring that the benefits of space technologies reach every community on our planet.

    I’m just coming from the fourth International Conference on Financing for Development in Seville, where the message was crystal clear:  in an era of constrained investment, we must align capital with high-impact solutions.

    Space is one of them.  But impact happens at every level — and I would like to share what I’ve seen.

    At the local level, UNOOSA’s programs are building the next generation of inclusive space leaders.  They’re ensuring equal access for youth and women in developing countries, where small investments create enormous change.  Through these programs, we’re enabling the next Carmen Chaidez, the next Kitaw Ejigu.

    At the national level, UNOOSA helps countries build their space capabilities from the ground up.  Through space law workshops and direct support for emerging programs, nations develop the expertise they need to harness space for their own development priorities.

    The United Nations Platform for Space‑based Information for Disaster Management and Emergency Response (UN-SPIDER) shows what this looks like in practice.  In Tonga, Tobago, and Ghana, satellite data is being used to create detailed digital models of entire cities.  When disaster strikes, these virtual twins allow Governments to see exactly where help is needed most, deploy resources much faster, and ultimately save more lives.

    Through innovative partnerships, UNOOSA has helped Kenya, Guatemala, [Republic of] Moldova, and Mauritius launch their first satellites.  Each event was a catalyst — for new space agencies, developing robust legislation, and promoting gender equality in the space sector.

    Finally, at the international level, as reinforced by the Pact for the Future, we must work together to ensure COPUOS delivers the governance our rapidly evolving space environment demands of us.

    Here’s what’s happening right now:  low-Earth orbit satellites are multiplying exponentially.  Humanity is preparing to return to the Moon.  We’re exploring beyond like never before.  And your work has never been more vital and urgent.

    We stand at the threshold of potentially historic decision:  the fourth United Nations Conference on the Exploration and Peaceful Uses of Outer Space (UNISPACE IV) in 2027.  This isn’t just another conference.  This could be the milestone that shapes the next sixty years of global space governance. And so I encourage us all to aim high.  And aim even higher.

    The pressing space issues before us — traffic, debris, resources — each present both risk and opportunity for achieving the SDGs.  Each requires the kind of multilateral cooperation that this Committee has proven it can deliver.  We need a strong UNOOSA and a strong COPUOS to lead us into UNISPACE IV and beyond.

    But strength isn’t about institutions — it’s about the people within them and the systems that we run.  As a practical next step, I encourage you to champion the implementation of the UNOOSA Gender Mainstreaming Toolkit for the Space Sector launched last year.  Because when we leave talent on the sidelines, we will all lose.

    Let me leave you with one final message.  The view from space shows no countries, no borders — only one shared planet, our common home.  Let that aspect guide you as you build the governance frameworks for space exploration and use.  Let us ensure that outer space remains safe and sustainable for everyone.  Let us make space a catalyst for achieving our 2030 Goals with 5 years to go.  And let us build governance frameworks that serve not just us, but generations to come.

  • MIL-OSI Canada: Construction Begins on Two New Group Homes in Biggar

    Source: Government of Canada regional news

    Released on July 3, 2025

    Social Services Minister Terry Jenson joined representatives from Farm in the Dell and the Town of Biggar to announce the start of construction on two new five-space group homes for individuals with intellectual disabilities. Farm in the Dell will also operate a day program that will serve up to 20 individuals.  

    “We are happy to see the start of this important project for Farm in the Dell,” Jenson said. “This project represents our government’s commitment to supporting initiatives which allow individuals with disabilities to live and participate in a supportive environment tailored to their needs.” 

    Announced in September 2024, the continued partnership between the Government of Saskatchewan and Farm in the Dell will expand access to a farm-like model of support for adults with intellectual disabilities. Capital construction will be supported by an investment of up to $2.1 million from the Ministry of Social Services, $500,000 provided by Farm in the Dell and $350,000 from the Town of Biggar.   

    Farm in the Dell is a non-profit organization that strives to enhance the emotional, physical, and spiritual lives of individuals with intellectual disabilities through residential, vocational, recreational and community services within Saskatchewan. It currently operates two group homes, a supported living program and a farm-based vocational program on a farm property near Aberdeen. 

    “We are deeply grateful for the Government of Saskatchewan’s partnership and commitment to our Farm in the Dell expansion project in Biggar, Saskatchewan,” Farm in the Dell Executive Director Lynette Zacharias said. “We look forward to working together on this meaningful initiative to support individuals in our communities by providing a safe and caring home, purposeful work opportunities, and a vibrant social life within a rewarding farm environment.”  

    “The Town of Biggar’s commitment to this worthy project is not only from the heart, but it demonstrates a testament to what a community can achieve when welcoming those that may need a little extra in a familiar and supportive rural setting,” Town of Biggar Mayor Jim Rickwood said. “The joy we feel due to this accomplishment will be returned to us by that same group of people. Our horizons are great, our abilities are enormous, but the spirit we cultivate is Biggar. It is with great pride that the Town of Biggar welcomes Farm in the Dell to our community. We are honoured to be a partner in establishing and providing continued support for this glorious addition to our amazing prairie skyline we call Saskatchewan.”  

    Once completed, the Ministry of Social Services will provide annual operating funding for the group homes and day program in Biggar.

  • Brilliant Djokovic hits flow state to crush Britain’s Evans

    Source: Government of India (4)

    Seven-times Wimbledon champion Novak Djokovic showed that he remains a real threat for a record-extending 25th Grand Slam title at the age of 38 with a clinical 6-3 6-2 6-0 second-round destruction of Briton Dan Evans on Centre Court on Thursday.

    The Serb continues to rage against the dying of the light and showed why hehas identified the grass of Wimbledon as his best chance of adding to his extraordinary tally in a superb all-round performance where he looked as sharp and fit as at any time in his incredible career.

    He was never remotely troubled on serve until the final game of the match, while wildcard Evans had to scramble for almost everything on his – saving nine first-set break points before eventually succumbing on the 10th.

    Djokovic continued to dominate as Evans, who beat him in their only previous meeting on clay four years ago, saw his tame sliced backhands repeatedly crashed back past him as the sixth seed romped home.

    Twenty years after first setting foot on the Wimbledon grass Djokovic is the most dangerous of floaters.

    Since losing in the quarter-finals in 2017 he has reached the last six finals, winning the first four but losing the last two to Carlos Alcaraz, and it would be a brave man to bet against him making it seven in a row on Thursday’s evidence.

    “He (Evans) can cause a lot of trouble if you’re not on top of your game, which I think I was to be honest from the very beginning,” Djokovic said.

    “Technically, tactically I knew exactly what I needed to do and I executed perfectly. Sometimes you have these kind of days, where everything goes your way, everything flows and it’s good to be in the shoes and holding a racket on a day like this.”

    The tone was set almost from the start, with Djokovic racing through his service games and Evans having to fight for everything.

    Roared on by a hopeful home crowd the 35-year-old Brit saved four break points in a marathon fourth game, three in the sixth and another two in the eighth, before Djokovic finally broke at the 10th attempt.

    Evans was ranked as high as 21st in the world two years ago, but he has plummeted to 154th and his backhand slice was totally ineffective as Djokovic teed off on it with unerring accuracy.

    The match soon had an inevitability about it as the Serb moved seamlessly through the second set and then raced to a 5-0 lead in the third before Evans finally forced two break points, only for Djokovic to snuff out the danger.

    It put him into the third round for the 19th time – a men’s record in the Open era – at a tournament he loves above all others.

    “I’ve said this a million times before, but I have to repeat it, Wimbledon still stays the most special tournament in my heart, the one that I always dreamed of winning when I was a kid,” he said.

    “It’s the beginning of the tournament, but yes I’m aware of the history on the line and I’m thinking about the big things that I can make in this tournament.”

    Prime Minister Narendra Modi departed Accra on Thursday for Port of Spain, where he will seek to strengthen India’s historic ties with Trinidad and Tobago during the second leg of his five-nation tour.

    “Leaving for Trinidad & Tobago. Later this evening, I look forward to attending a community programme in Port of Spain. Tomorrow, I will be addressing the Parliament of Trinidad & Tobago. Looking forward to deepening ties with a valued partner in the Caribbean, with whom we share very old cultural linkages,” PM Modi said in a post on X after concluding his two-day visit to Ghana.

    Trinidad and Tobago is PM Modi’s second stop and will be followed by visits to Argentina, Brazil and Namibia. This is his first visit to Trinidad and Tobago as Prime Minister and the first bilateral Prime Ministerial visit to the country since 1999.

    The Prime Minister is scheduled to hold talks with President Christine Carla Kangaloo and Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar, who recently began a second term in office, and will address a joint session of Parliament on Friday. Kangaloo was Chief Guest at this year’s Pravasi Bharatiya Divas, while Persad-Bissessar has visited India previously and received the Pravasi Bharatiya Samman award.

    Earlier, the Ministry of External Affairs said in a statement that the visit would provide fresh momentum to the longstanding cultural and people-to-people ties between the two countries. “The visit comes at an opportune time, as this year, 2025, the country (Trinidad and Tobago) is commemorating 180 years of the arrival of Indian immigrants in T&T,” MEA Secretary (South) Neena Malhotra said at a briefing on Monday.

    Trinidad and Tobago is home to an Indian diaspora that makes up about 40–45% of its 1.36 million people, descendants of immigrants who first arrived in 1845. The diaspora continues to maintain strong cultural and emotional ties with India.

    The trip marks PM Modi’s second visit to the Caribbean in eight months. In November 2024, he travelled to Guyana for the India–CARICOM Summit, where he pledged support for Caribbean nations and met then Prime Minister Keith Rowley. PM Modi congratulated Rowley on Trinidad and Tobago’s adoption of India’s UPI digital payment platform and promised further cooperation in digital transformation.

    India and Trinidad and Tobago are seeking to expand cooperation in pharmaceuticals, healthcare, renewable energy, digital public infrastructure, agriculture, disaster resilience and technology, as well as sports, academics and cultural exchanges.

    Last year, the Prime Minister told Caribbean leaders that India stood firmly for giving voice to the concerns of the Global South, saying smaller nations were among the worst hit by global conflicts and crises.

    PM Modi’s address to the joint session of Parliament is also symbolic of democratic ties between the two nations. “The Speaker’s chair in the Parliament has been a gift by India, which is again a symbolic reminder of the strong democratic and parliamentary traditions between our two countries,” Malhotra said.

    This visit, she added, is also special for both the President and the Prime Minister of T&T, since they are of Indian origin and take pride in calling themselves “daughters of India.”

    “The entire Indian community in Trinidad and Tobago is very enthusiastic about PM Modi’s upcoming visit and a large diaspora interaction event is being planned during the visit. During the visit, the PM will hold high-level discussions with both the President and Prime Minister, and the leaders are expected to cover the entire gamut of our bilateral relations, as well as regional and multilateral aspects,” Malhotra said.

    After Trinidad and Tobago, the Prime Minister will travel to Argentina

    Today, the Justice Department announced that it reached an agreement with a Michigan school district to address the discriminatory use of seclusion and restraint against students with disabilities, in violation of Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Under the settlement agreement, the Montcalm Area Intermediate School District will end the use of seclusion, reform its restraint practices, and improve special education services for students with disabilities.

    During the period covered by the investigation, with which the school district fully cooperated, students with disabilities were secluded and/or restrained on more than 2,400 occasions. The Department’s investigation also revealed that the district used seclusion and restraint improperly, including using emergency crisis responses as punishment for normal classroom discipline issues.

    “Students with disabilities should never be discriminated against by experiencing the trauma of seclusion or improper restraint,” said Assistant Attorney General Harmeet K. Dhillon of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division. “Parents have the right to expect that the school systems they entrust with educating their children do not instead punish their children for having a disability.”

    “This school district serves the most vulnerable Michigan students, young children with disabilities,” said Acting U.S. Attorney Alexis M. Sanford for the Western District of Michigan. “I commend them for entering into this settlement agreement to provide their students with the care and services they need to get the education they deserve.”

  • MIL-OSI USA: UConn Hosts Sustainability Summit for Northeast Higher Education

    Source: US State of Connecticut

    Nearly all higher education institutions in the Northeast have demonstrated a commitment to sustainability, and most have an Office of Sustainability. While each university has its own unique challenges in pursuing environmental progress, many of these offices face similar issues – How do we get students prepared for green careers? What’s the most efficient way to run a move-out donation program?

    UConn Office of Sustainability Director, Patrick McKee, welcomes guests to the NECSC Summit.

    That’s where the Northeast Campus Sustainability Consortium (NECSC) comes in! The NECSC was established in 2004 to support sustainability officers in advancing progress on university campuses in the northeast and Canadian maritime region. The NECSC is an informal group, but commits to hosting an annual meeting to provide members close networking opportunities, professional development and access to the area’s vibrant sustainability practitioner community. Hosts of the annual gathering are leaders of sustainability in the region.

    Following 2024’s annual summit at Southern New Hampshire University, UConn’s Office of Sustainability and Connecticut College agreed to co-host the event for 2025. The NECSC conference is also an opportunity to highlight the hosts’ sustainability progress and leadership regionally. UConn’s Avery Point Campus was the perfect location – not only is it a gorgeous waterfront campus, it also plays an outsize role in environmental progress for Connecticut.

    In 2021, Avery Point upgraded 121 of their outdoor light fixtures with LED lights which saved 25 tons of carbon dioxide over the course of a year. The Student Center secured LEED Silver Certification in recognition of its energy efficiency in 2023. Avery Point is also home to the Connecticut Institute for Resilience and Climate Adaptation (CIRCA) and Connecticut Sea Grant which act as research hubs for climate resilience, coastal ecosystems, and aquaculture within Long Island Sound. Faculty and students are collaborating with Eversource and Orsted on a $1.25m grant to understand the impact of offshore wind projects on marine habitats, including project Starboard Wind. EcoHusky is the student-run organization that organizes yearly sustainability events for faculty and students including the Earth Day Event, supported by the Office of Sustainability in 2025. EcoHusky was also a part of securing an Environmental and Sustainability Small Grant from the Office of Sustainability in 2022 to install a solar panel and wind turbine on the sailing shed to provide independent, renewable-energy sources for campus buildings. In December of 2024, UConn entered a historical memorandum with CT’s five recognized tribes to establish Avery Point as a Native-American Serving, Nontribal Intuition (NASNTI) to reach at least 10% Native American enrollment and supporting tribal education through academics and community engagement.

    Nearly 100 higher education sustainability staff and faculty members attended the NECSC summit, held June 9-11, 2025. Ranging from Maryland to Maine, attendees hailed from Ivies, state universities and private liberal arts schools. The event kicked off with a keynote address by Dr. Annemarie Seifert, Dean of UConn Avery Point, and was followed by engaging sessions on creating circular economies on campus, geothermal buildings, decarbonization communications and more.

    Leaders of higher ed’s preeminent sustainability networks provided global perspectives on shifting political landscapes for sustainability. Megan Fay Zahniser, Executive Director of the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education, and Tim Carter, President of Second Nature, urged attendees to work together and with their home communities to push for continued environmental progress.

    Throughout the event, UConn Dining provided excellent food and low-waste catering. Mike White, Executive Director of UConn Dining Services, spoke about their team’s dedication to reducing food waste, using local and organic produce, and UConn’s partnership with Quantum Biopower which converts food scraps into energy. All attendees enjoyed menus featuring cheese from local farms like Cato Corner in Colchester, and greens from Full Moon Farm in Hampton.

    Guests participated in marine research in Long Island Sound with Project Oceanology.

    The NECSC summit concluded with a marine biology excursion on Long Island Sound. Project Oceanology, a nonprofit marine education and research facility, took guests out on a ship to catch, record, and measure sea life from the sound. They also took the crew up the Thames River for a closer look at the offshore wind assembly pier.

    “It is always uplifting to network, share stories, insights, and best practices as we work to collectively make a larger impact on the planet and in the lives of students,” shares Patrick McKee, Director of the UConn Office of Sustainability. “It was a pleasure co-hosting the NECSC Summit at UConn Avery Point, and we look forward to visiting Rutgers in 2026.”

  • MIL-OSI Security: Defense Attorney Sentenced After Pleading Guilty to Felony Drug Offense

    Source: United States Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco Firearms and Explosives (ATF)

    WILMINGTON, N.C. – A Harnett County defense attorney was sentenced in federal court after his guilty plea to a felony drug offense. Jeffrey Stall,45, was sentenced to two years of house arrest and five years of supervised release.

    Stall was initially intercepted during a federal wiretap investigation into a group of drug traffickers that were distributed methamphetamine, fentanyl, cocaine, and marijuana throughout Sampson, Johnston, and Harnett counties. Through intercepted and coded conversations, Stall spoke with another individual and the two agreed to meet later so that Stall could receive drugs.

    Two days later, law enforcement watched as Stall arrived at an established drug trafficking location, stayed for a short period of time, and then departed. As Stall was driving away, a North Carolina State Trooper executed a traffic stop. Stall was the driver and lone occupant. The trooper immediately observed Stall exhibiting characteristics consistent with intoxication and observed an empty gun holster on the seat. During the traffic stop, a canine alerted on the vehicle. The trooper asked Stall two times whether there was anything in Stall’s vehicle that was illegal. Stall responded with “There shouldn’t be” and “Not that I am aware of.”

    The subsequent search of the vehicle revealed a backpack on the passenger seat. Inside the backpack the trooper discovered 33.65 grams of pure methamphetamine and a loaded .40 caliber handgun.

    As the underlying investigation continued, several individuals were taken into custody and interviewed about their drug trafficking. In these interviews, they revealed that they had provided Stall with user amounts of methamphetamine for extended lengths of time. These individuals stated that their relationship with Stall often started with or involved Stall representing them in a legal capacity. The drug relationship with Stall would then extend beyond the course of the legal representation.

    Daniel P. Bubar, Acting U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of North Carolina made the announcement after sentencing by Chief U.S. District Judge Richard E. Myers II. The DEA, ATF, U.S. Marshals Service, NC National Guard, NC State Bureau of Investigation, Sampson County Sheriff’s Office, Harnett County Sheriff’s Office, Johnston County Sheriff’s Office, and the Dunn Police Department investigated the case and Assistant U.S. Attorney Tyler Lemons prosecuted the case.

    TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA – Fredricus White, 38, and Cornelious Johnson, 41, of Panama City, Florida, pleaded guilty to charges of possessing fighting dogs, while White also pleaded guilty to a charge of possessing firearms and ammunition as a previously convicted felon. The convictions were announced by John P. Heekin, United States Attorney for the Northern District of Florida.

    According to court records, White and Johnson entered into a conspiracy to violate the Animal Welfare Act from 2018 through February 2024, by participating in organized dog fighting, to include breeding fighting dogs, participating in gambling involving illegal dog fights, and training dogs to participate in dog fights. White and Johnson were previously arrested in Georgia on state charges of participating in a dog fight in 2022. Federal arrest warrants in February 2024 for the Georgia dog fight led to the discovery of two rural Panama City area properties where White and Johnson had continued to keep, breed, and train fighting dogs. White’s residence was also searched, and three firearms were found. White was prohibited from possessing firearms due to felony convictions in 2009 and 2012.   

    U.S. Attorney Heekin said: “These defendants engaged in cruel and continued mistreatment of animals, but now they will find themselves locked in a cell for their crimes. I deeply appreciate the dedicated work of our state and federal law enforcement partners to dismantle this heinous enterprise of animal cruelty, which unsurprisingly often increases violence in the community. My office is firmly committed to ensuring the safety of all individuals and ending the cruel infliction of pain on animals purely for sport and financial gain in the Northern District of Florida.”

    The convictions were the result of a joint investigation by the Bay County Sheriff’s Office, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), and the United States Department of Agriculture Office of the Inspector General and assisted by the United States Marshals Service. The case was prosecuted by attorneys from the Criminal Division of the Tallahassee office with assistance from the Environmental and Natural Resources Division of the Department of Justice. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Meredith L. Steer.

    This case is part of Operation Take Back America (https://www.justice.gov/dag/media/1393746/dl?inline) a nationwide initiative that marshals the full resources of the Department of Justice to repel the invasion of illegal immigration, achieve the total elimination of cartels and transnational criminal organizations (TCOs), and protect our communities from the perpetrators of violent crime.

  • MIL-OSI Security: Former D.C. Department of Youth Rehabilitation Services Employee Found Guilty of Sexually Abusing a 17-Year-Old Ward

    Source: US FBI

                WASHINGTON—Kelvin Powell, 63, of Temple Hills, Maryland, was found guilty on all counts by a D.C. Superior Court jury today in connection with the sexual abuse of a 17-year-old minor who was in the custody of the D.C. Department of Youth Rehabilitation Services, announced U.S. Attorney Jeanine Ferris Pirro.

                The jury deliberated for one day following an eight-day trial, and found Powell guilty of sixteen counts, that is, committing four counts of first-degree sexual abuse of a ward, four counts of first-degree sexual abuse of a minor, four counts of second-degree sexual abuse of a ward, and four counts of second-degree sexual abuse of a minor.  D.C. Superior Court Associate Judge Rainey Brandt scheduled sentencing for September 5, 2025.

                According to evidence presented over the course of the trial, Powell served as a Youth Development Representative (YDR) at the Department of Youth Rehabilitation Services (DYRS)’s Youth Services Center (YSC).  DYRS is the District of Columbia government agency responsible for the supervision, custody, and care of young people detained while pending charges for a delinquent act.  As a YDR, Powell was responsible for the care, custody, and control of the juvenile residents being detained at YSC.

                “The Defendant used his position of authority to repeatedly sexually abuse a minor who was in his care and more than four decades younger than him,” said United States Attorney Pirro.  “The power imbalance allowed him to repeatedly victimize a young girl who was under his protection. These crimes were reprehensible.  As shown here, prosecutors in my office and our partners at the FBI and MPD will go to every length to uncover such acts, prove them in court, and hold the offenders accountable.”

                “Powell used his position of trust to prey upon a minor who counted on him for care and protection,” said Assistant Director in Charge Steven Jensen of the FBI’s Washington Field Office. “Today’s verdict is the next step in bringing the full measure of justice to those who would abuse their authority to harm vulnerable children.”

                Between December 2021 through February 2022, Powell used his position and his authority to repeatedly sexually abuse a then-seventeen-year-old minor ward residing at YSC. During that time, Powell repeatedly isolated the minor in areas of YSC that were not covered by video surveillance cameras. In those areas, Powell repeatedly sexually abused the minor by committing sexual acts and sexual contacts to her. In an incident captured by surveillance cameras, Powell sexually abused the minor by groping her clothed buttocks in a hallway at YSC.

                Powell faces a maximum statutory penalty of 15 years for first degree sexual abuse of a minor, seven and ½ years for second degree sexual abuse of a minor, 10 years for first degree sexual abuse of a ward, and five years for second degree sexual abuse of a ward.

                The case was investigated by the FBI’s Washington Field Office with valuable assistance from the Metropolitan Police Department and the U.S. Marshals Service. It was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorneys Tim Visser, Jessica Wash, and Niki Holmes. Former Assistant United States Attorneys Risa Berkower and Cara Gardner provided critical assistance.

  • MIL-OSI Security: United States Seeks Recovery of $40,300 in Cryptoscheme That Impersonated Trump-Vance Inaugural Committee

    Source: US FBI

                WASHINGTON – U.S. Attorney Jeanine Ferris Pirro announced today that her office filed a complaint against 40,353 USDT.ETH cryptocurrency stolen in the commission of a  Business Email Compromise Scheme.

                According to the complaint, one or more perpetrators impersonated the Trump-Vance Inaugural Committee, fraudulently stole $250,300 worth of crypocurrency from an intended donor, and then laundered the funds through other wallets. The FBI was able to trace and recover $40,300 from this transaction. The complaint seeks recovery of these funds to compensate the victim.

                “All donors should double and triple check that they are sending cryptocurrency to their intended recipient. It can be extremely difficult for law enforcmeent to recoup lost funds due to the extremely complex nature of the blockchain,” said U.S. Attoney Pirro. “Nevertheless, my office and our law enforcement partners stand ready to go toe-to-toe with criminals and make victims whole.”

                “Impersonation scams take many forms and cost Americans billions in losses each year,” said Assistant Director in Charge Steven J. Jensen, of the FBI Washington Field Office, which is investigating the case. “To avoid becoming a victim, carefully review email addresses, website URLs, and spelling in any messages you receive. Scammers often use subtle differences to deceive you and gain your trust. Never send money, gift cards, cryptocurrency, or other assets to people you do not know personally or have only interacted with online or over the phone. Report suspected scams to the Internet Crime Complaint Center at www.ic3.gov.”

                According to the complaint, on Dec. 24, 2024, the victims received an email from someone purporting to be Steve Witkoff, Co-Chair of the Trump-Vance Inaugural Committee. Legitimate emails from the Trump-Vance Inaugural Committee are @t47inaugural.com;  the email received by victim was from @t47lnaugural.com with the lowercase “I” was replaced by a lowercase “L.” Depending on the font, the lowercase “L” can look like the uppercase “I.”

                The imposter Steve Witkoff, a scammer located in Nigeria, instructed the victims to deposit funds into a cryptocurrency wallet ending in 58c52. On Dec. 26, 2024, the victim sent 250,300 USDT.ETH to the crypto wallet believing the funds were going to the Inaugural Committee. Within two hours after receiving the funds from the victim, the funds moved from the 58c52 cryptowallet to other cryptocurrency addresses. Through blockchain analysis, the FBI identified and recovered 40,300 USDT.ETH, which is the property subject to forfeiture in this civil action.

                Members of the public who believe they are victims of a cybercrime – including business email compromise, cryptocurrency scams, romance scams, investment scams, and “pig butchering” fraud scams – should contact the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center at https://www.ic3.gov. For more information on business email compromise schemes, please visit: https://www.fbi.gov/how-we-can-help-you/scams-and-safety/common-frauds-and-scams/business-email-compromise.

                The Department of Justice would like to acknowledge Tether for its assistance in effectuating the transfer of these assets.

                FBI Assistant Director in Charge Steven J. Jensen of the Washington Field Office joined in the announcement. This case is being investigated by the FBI Washington Field Office- Criminal and Cyber Division. It is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Rick Blaylock, Jr.

  • MIL-OSI: Weiss Ratings Releases 2025 Insight on Nvidia’s Trillion-Dollar Robot Project and Autonomous Trucking Breakthrough

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    New York, July 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —

    Section 1 – Introduction

    Framing the Rise of Autonomous Robotics and the Trillion-Dollar Disruption in AI

    The convergence of artificial intelligence, robotics, and autonomous mobility is reshaping the foundation of global technology investment. As AI-driven platforms like ChatGPT spark public fascination, a more profound transformation is accelerating behind the scenes — one with the potential to rewire logistics, infrastructure, and manufacturing as we know them. At the center of this emerging landscape is a new class of robots designed not for novelty, but for economic impact. From self-navigating trucks to fully autonomous warehouse systems, the use of robotics has rapidly evolved from controlled trials to scalable deployment.

    Industry leaders are calling this movement the next trillion-dollar breakthrough. Nvidia, long recognized for its dominance in AI acceleration, is now applying its proprietary chipsets and computing platforms toward a singular goal: building the world’s first trillion-dollar robot. This ‘Trillion-Dollar Robot’ is not just a single entity, but a concept that encompasses a range of applications, from autonomous freight delivery to self-driving transport fleets and industrial material handling systems. This next phase targets large-scale societal infrastructure, inspiring a new era of technological advancement.

    Investor interest in robotics has surged accordingly. According to McKinsey, automation is expected to account for 25% of all global capital spending over the next five years. Meanwhile, venture capital and institutional firms have invested billions in enabling technologies, particularly those aligned with Nvidia’s rapidly advancing vision. Among them, a low-profile $7 stock has emerged as a cornerstone partner in this next-generation robotics ecosystem, playing a crucial role in the industry’s development. This stock is not just building hardware; it’s architecting a software and data platform to power America’s autonomous backbone, making it a key player in the trillion-dollar shift towards self-driving trucks.

    To access the full Weiss Ratings insight, visit the official website.

    Section 2 – Weiss Ratings 2025 Insight: Disruptors & Dominators Analyzes Nvidia’s Robotics Strategy and the $7 Stock Powering It

    Weiss Ratings has released a detailed 2025 market insight through its Disruptors & Dominators newsletter, analyzing what many industry analysts now consider a pivotal moment in the race toward full-scale automation: Nvidia’s transition from AI infrastructure leader to the architect of what some are calling the “Trillion-Dollar Robot.” The research focuses on how Nvidia’s growing portfolio of AI-accelerated systems is converging with regulatory, industrial, and transportation trends to create a new era in robotics-driven logistics, particularly in the field of autonomous trucking.

    The centerpiece of this insight is an emerging $7 stock that Weiss Ratings identifies as one of the most strategically positioned companies in the autonomous systems sector. According to the editorial team, this company is not only building next-generation hardware, including sensors, LiDAR, radar arrays, and camera-based vision systems, but also developing innovative solutions for various applications. Importantly, it is also developing proprietary operating platforms that interface with Nvidia’s DRIVE AGX and DriveThor chipsets. This combination of hardware and AI-aligned software gives it the potential to enable fully self-navigating systems in commercial transport vehicles, showcasing its technological prowess.

    Weiss Ratings emphasizes that the company’s partnership network now includes several global players across shipping, retail, logistics, and vehicle manufacturing, and, most notably, a formal alignment with Nvidia itself. While the $7 stock remains outside the mainstream spotlight, its integration with AI-driven mobility infrastructure could position it as a pivotal enabler in what Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has described as the most significant industrial opportunity since the invention of the microprocessor.

    The analysis outlines why regulatory developments, including potential federal actions related to autonomous vehicle oversight, may further catalyze this sector. For instance, if the government introduces favorable regulations for autonomous vehicles, it could significantly boost the adoption of self-driving trucks, thereby accelerating the trillion-dollar shift. Rather than making direct investment recommendations, Weiss Ratings provides a research-oriented perspective that draws on decades of market data, proprietary scoring systems, and real-time macro trend monitoring. The report’s emphasis remains on understanding the fundamental factors that may shape this critical moment in robotics, AI, and autonomous infrastructure.

    Section 3 – Consumer Trend Overview: AI Curiosity, Robotics Hype, and the Momentum Behind Autonomous Mobility

    Across both retail and institutional channels, 2025 has witnessed a notable increase in public interest surrounding the intersection of robotics and artificial intelligence. Terms like “autonomous trucking,” “robotaxis,” and “AI-powered logistics” are now trending not only in financial forums but also in broader technology and mainstream media conversations. This surge is primarily attributed to the visibility of platforms like ChatGPT and the growing realization that generative AI is no longer confined to text or image synthesis — it is now driving real-world mobility and infrastructure.

    This shift in public interest reached a tipping point following Nvidia’s keynote at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, where CEO Jensen Huang unveiled new robotics applications powered by the company’s proprietary AI chips. Viewers were introduced to humanoid systems, warehouse automation platforms, and most significantly, Nvidia’s roadmap for autonomous commercial trucks. The media coverage that followed described the development as a turning point, with Forbes referencing a potential “$24 trillion opportunity” and Oxford Economics confirming that the robotics revolution had officially arrived.

    As these developments unfold, consumer and investor interest has extended beyond big-cap names like Nvidia and Tesla into the suppliers, partners, and adjacent innovators positioned to scale these initiatives. According to Weiss Ratings, this includes firms developing edge-AI systems, autonomous vehicle platforms, and robotics-as-a-service (RaaS) delivery models. One lesser-known $7 stock has surfaced repeatedly in online discussions and trend analysis as a company deeply embedded in the backend infrastructure of this new AI-powered movement.

    Search trends further confirm the shift. Over the past 12 months, keyword clusters including “Nvidia robot partner,” “self-driving truck tech,” and “AI manufacturing automation” have seen exponential growth, reflecting a retail investor base eager to identify entry points before widespread institutional exposure. This growing demand for transparency and context underscores the role of independent research providers — such as Weiss Ratings — in helping consumers distinguish between hype and substance, and in providing timely, data-driven insights as emerging sectors evolve.

    Readers can review the editorial analysis through Weiss Ratings’ newsletter archive.

    Section 4 – Technology Spotlight: DriveThor, LiDAR Systems, and the Embedded Stack Behind Self-Driving Infrastructure

    At the foundation of Nvidia’s autonomous robotics push lies its high-performance computing architecture, specifically the DriveThor platform — a unified AI system-on-chip designed to process perception, mapping, planning, and driver monitoring in real-time. Built on Nvidia’s next-gen GPU architecture, DriveThor represents a leap forward in autonomous vehicle design, combining deep learning accelerators, sensor fusion capabilities, and vehicle-to-cloud connectivity into a single chip.

    However, the performance of such centralized AI platforms depends on a complex network of hardware and software partners to bring self-driving systems into functional reality. That’s where a new class of modular technology providers — including a $7 company highlighted in Weiss Ratings’ 2025 editorial — comes into view. This firm develops end-to-end autonomy stacks, combining essential sensor arrays, integrated radar and LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) units, thermal cameras, and onboard diagnostics that support the operation of self-driving commercial vehicles.

    LiDAR, in particular, is often described as the “eyes” of an autonomous system. It emits laser pulses to measure distances and generate high-resolution 3D maps of the surrounding environment. When combined with radar and optical imaging, these layers of perception enable real-time obstacle detection, lane tracking, and adaptive decision-making. The $7 company in question has engineered its system to support seamless fusion of these inputs, enabling adaptive driving across urban, highway, and rural environments.

    On the software side, the same company has developed an integrated operating platform that harmonizes vehicle data with Nvidia’s Drive AGX and DriveThor chipsets. This interface handles localization, path planning, and environmental modeling, functioning as the core logic layer of a self-driving truck or industrial robot. It also enables continuous improvement by capturing millions of miles of road data and feeding that intelligence back into simulation engines.

    Taken together, these technologies form the invisible scaffolding of the “Trillion-Dollar Robot” concept — not as a single product, but as a converging network of hardware, AI, and edge processing tools designed to scale autonomy into critical infrastructure.

    Section 5 – Market Reception and Public Sentiment: From Curiosity to Speculation in the Robotics Race

    As robotics transitions from concept to infrastructure, the tone of online engagement has shifted accordingly. What began as a novelty conversation — humanoid robots at CES, companion bots, and AI-powered assistants — has evolved into more pragmatic discussions about the role of automation in the economy. Search patterns now indicate increased interest in supply chain optimization, autonomous freight, and job creation through robotics, particularly in the face of rising labor shortages in the transportation and manufacturing sectors.

    Platforms like Reddit, X (formerly Twitter), and financial content hubs have been buzzing with speculation about the implications of Nvidia’s move into commercial robotics. One consistent theme is the curiosity surrounding lesser-known firms supporting the backend of this transformation. Among them, the $7 stock profiled in the Weiss Ratings Disruptors & Dominators newsletter has surfaced in speculative analysis, not for flashy marketing, but for its foundational role in systems integration. Online commentators have taken note of its partnerships, intellectual property holdings, and use-case demonstrations with interest, especially when tied to federal infrastructure trends.

    Importantly, Weiss Ratings’ approach to these developments remains rooted in research, not recommendation. The publication’s editorial lens emphasizes independent evaluation, dissecting public company filings, industry partnerships, and macroeconomic indicators without promoting individual investments.

    Section 4 – Technology Spotlight: DriveThor, LiDAR Systems, and the Embedded Stack Behind Self-Driving Infrastructure

    At the foundation of Nvidia’s autonomous robotics push lies its high-performance computing architecture, specifically the DriveThor platform — a unified AI system-on-chip designed to process perception, mapping, planning, and driver monitoring in real-time. Built on Nvidia’s next-gen GPU architecture, DriveThor represents a leap forward in autonomous vehicle design, combining deep learning accelerators, sensor fusion capabilities, and vehicle-to-cloud connectivity into a single chip.

    However, the performance of such centralized AI platforms depends on a complex network of hardware and software partners to bring self-driving systems into functional reality. That’s where a new class of modular technology providers — including a $7 company highlighted in Weiss Ratings’ 2025 editorial — comes into view. This firm develops end-to-end autonomy stacks, combining essential sensor arrays, integrated radar and LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) units, thermal cameras, and onboard diagnostics that support the operation of self-driving commercial vehicles.

    LiDAR, in particular, is often described as the “eyes” of an autonomous system. It emits laser pulses to measure distances and generate high-resolution 3D maps of the surrounding environment. When combined with radar and optical imaging, these layers of perception enable real-time obstacle detection, lane tracking, and adaptive decision-making. The $7 company in question has engineered its system to support seamless fusion of these inputs, enabling adaptive driving across urban, highway, and rural environments.

    On the software side, the same company has developed an integrated operating platform that harmonizes vehicle data with Nvidia’s Drive AGX and DriveThor chipsets. This interface handles localization, path planning, and environmental modeling, functioning as the core logic layer of a self-driving truck or industrial robot. It also enables continuous improvement by capturing millions of miles of road data and feeding that intelligence back into simulation engines.

    Taken together, these technologies form the invisible scaffolding of the “Trillion-Dollar Robot” concept — not as a single product, but as a converging network of hardware, AI, and edge processing tools designed to scale autonomy into critical infrastructure.

    Section 5 – Market Reception and Public Sentiment: From Curiosity to Speculation in the Robotics Race

The company is no longer just supplying chips to innovators; it is increasingly shaping the operating systems, regulatory architecture, and embedded partnerships that define the growth of this sector.

    For independent research organizations like Weiss Ratings, this shift demands an even closer examination of adjacent players — including those providing the sensors, decision engines, and physical frameworks necessary for scaled deployment. The emergence of smaller-cap, infrastructure-enabling firms is not only relevant for investors; it reflects a broader change in how innovation is operationalized at the ground level.

    As autonomous mobility and robotics continue to transition from demonstration to deployment, the real opportunity may not lie in flashy prototypes, but in the systems and platforms that enable scale. This is where industry attention is increasingly focused, and where editorial coverage plays a vital role in bringing transparency to a rapidly advancing ecosystem.

    Section 8 – Public Commentary Themes: Interest, Caution, and the Race to Scale AI Robotics

    Online discussions around Nvidia’s robotics initiative and the emerging ecosystem of autonomous technology partners have become increasingly layered in tone. A recurring point of interest involves the transition from lab-based robotics to scalable industrial platforms, particularly in sectors such as freight, manufacturing, and healthcare systems. Some commentators have noted that the 2025 rollout of Nvidia’s DriveThor-enabled autonomous trucking strategy marks a meaningful shift from abstract AI speculation to infrastructure-level application.

    At the same time, skepticism persists. A recurring discussion point revolves around the timeline and feasibility of national regulatory frameworks for self-driving fleets, especially in light of state-by-state policy variations. Others have expressed concern about labor displacement, while still acknowledging the need for solutions to chronic driver shortages and logistics bottlenecks. This duality — optimism for innovation, tempered by realism about structural inertia — continues to shape the public dialogue.

    Notably, independent financial communities have shown interest in companies playing enabling roles behind the scenes. A frequently discussed theme involves the under-the-radar $7 stock referenced in Weiss Ratings’ 2025 editorial. Some investors are analyzing their patent filings, partner integrations, and testing data as signals of long-term infrastructure relevance. Rather than chasing speculative spikes, these observers frame the opportunity in terms of foundational value within an AI-enabled economy.

    Another standard narrative highlights the strategic alliances forming between traditional industrial brands and AI platform providers, with Nvidia’s deepening involvement seen as a signpost for what’s next. This includes attention on chip suppliers, robotics firmware developers, and companies aligned with clean-label hardware design.

    Across forums, media, and professional newsletters, the consensus is forming: the robotics revolution is no longer theoretical. It’s underway — and its enablers, not just its figureheads, are becoming the focus of the following investment conversation.
