By WCCO Staff, The Associated Press Updated on: October 21, 2024 / 11:14 PM EDT / CBS/AP 11 arrested during protest outside University of Minnesota’s Morrill Hall 11 arrested during protest outside University of Minnesota’s Morrill Hall 02:26 MINNEAPOLIS — Eleven people were arrested Monday after University of Minnesota officials released an emergency alert on Monday afternoon, saying protesters stormed Morrill Hall in Minneapolis. The building, located on Northup Mall on the East Bank campus, is home to the university’s administrative headquarters.  The alert stated protesters were “causing property damage and restricting entrance and exit from the building,” and they had advised people inside to “safely exit” the premises immediately if possible. Monday’s protest was organized by the group UMN Students for a Democratic Society, which is calling on the university to divest from companies that support Israel — which  the Board of Regents declined to do in August  following weeks of pro-Palestinian demonstrations on campus. The protesters were equipped with tents and supplies, and said they planned to stay until their demands were met. Video posted online showed chairs stacked in front of an exterior

Los Angeles City Council candidate Ysabel Jurado, who is running to unseat District 14 councilmember Kevin De León, is facing backlash for saying “F– the police” in a recorded meet-and-greet with college students. The audio clip was exclusively released by the Westside Current on Monday, and reportedly occurred when a Cal State Los Angeles student asked Jurado about her stance on abolishing the police, as well as De León’s use of discretionary spending for overtime. Jurado responded by referencing an N.W.A. song, saying, “What’s the rap verse? ‘F– the police,’ that’s how I see them.”  Los Angeles Police Department Union Director Jamie McBride, spoke to KTLA’s Mary Beth McDade about the remarks. “People that live in City Council District 14 want to feel safe when they go to work or live in that area, and now they have someone that wants to abolish the police. That works against what the mayor is trying to do—she’s trying to add public safety.” The union has thrown its support behind De León in his upcoming re-election bid.

NUEVA YORK . — Decenas de millones de adultos mayores estadounidenses verán un aumento en sus prestaciones en enero cuando se agregue un nuevo ajuste por costo de vida a los pagos del Seguro Social. Con el aumento del 2,5% se pretende ayudar a cubrir los precios más altos de los alimentos, el combustible y otros bienes y servicios. El beneficiario promedio verá un incremento de aproximadamente 50 dólares por mes, según funcionarios de la agencia. Los beneficiarios del Seguro Social recibieron un aumento del 3,2% en sus prestaciones en 2024, y a algunos pensionados les preocupa que el incremento de este año no sea lo suficientemente grande para satisfacer sus necesidades. El Seguro Social comenzará a notificar por correo a los beneficiarios sobre el nuevo monto de su beneficio a partir de diciembre. Los pagos ajustados para casi 7,5 millones de personas que reciben Seguridad de Ingreso Suplementario (SSI, por sus siglas en inglés) comenzarán el 31 de diciembre. La SSI proporciona pagos mensuales a adultos y niños que tienen ingresos por debajo de límites financieros específicos y reúnen las condiciones necesarias para recibir

PALMDALE —  En un viaje por tierra hacia Chile, la pareja estadounidense Frank Daniel Guzmán y Caroline Katba se encontraba en México cuando interrumpieron la comunicación; después de tres meses de desaparecidos, los familiares y amigos piden ayuda a las autoridades para dar con el paradero de los jóvenes. “Queremos que nos ayuden a encontrarlos, ellos son ciudadanos estadounidenses; queremos movilización, que los busquen”, pidió Leticia Vásquez, residente en Palmdale, California. “Iban para Chile, no andaban de vacaciones, iban de paso porque mi hijo está estudiando el doctorado en Antropología”. Guzmán, de 32 años, es nacido en Los Ángeles y criado en el Valle del Antílope; mientras que Katba, de 31, es naturalizada estadounidense de origen palestino. Estudiante del doctorado en Antropología en la Universidad de Texas en Austin, Guzmán fue visto por última vez el 18 de julio, por lo que fue reportado desaparecido por el Departamento de Seguridad Pública de Texas, según reportes de prensa. Luego trascendió que el joven de ascendencia mexicana iba acompañado de su esposa. “Ya no es la misma vida de antes, es algo horrible, desesperante; nos sentimos impotentes, queremos

A man was shot by police officers Monday evening after he pulled a gun and pointed it in their direction. The shooting happened around 9 p.m. at an apartment complex located on the 3700 block of Leeward Way in Oxnard, according to the Oxnard Police Department. Officers had responded to the apartment complex following reports of shots being fired, police said. Video from independent news operation RMG News showed a man standing outside an apartment as police surrounded him. The man, wearing sunglasses and a baseball cap, shouts expletives at the officers and retreats behind a corner where he pulls out a revolver and points it in their direction.

(RMG News) At least one officer immediately opens fire on the suspect. It’s unclear if officers used standard bullets or “non-lethal” rounds. The suspect then surrenders and drops to the ground, at which point officers approach him, taking cover behind a riot shield as they inch closer to make the arrest. He

One person was arrested for failing to disperse during an hourslong pro-Palestinian protest at UCLA Monday involving at least 40 people. The demonstrators gathered in Dickson Court North for what was billed as a “teach-in on divestment,” where they used unauthorized structures and assembled in areas not designated for public expression. The demonstrators arrived around 8:45 a.m. Monday, where they obstructed student pathways, according to the UCLA Police Department. According to the Daily Bruin, the school’s newspaper, the protest began around 11:45 a.m., where protesters chanted, “UC, UC, you can’t hide, we charge you with apartheid.” What protesters billed as a “Gaza solidarity sukkah” and several tents for a pro-Palestinian encampment were erected, prompting a representative from UCLA Student Affairs to inform organizers that they were violating the university’s “Time, Place, and Manner” policies because of where they were assembling, using unauthorized structures and amplified sound, and asked demonstrators to leave the area and remove the structures, according to the Daily Bruin and UCLA Police Department. Security officers on bicycles attempted to remove a sign hung outside of Perloff Hall around 5:09 p.m., which read

One person was arrested at UCLA on Monday night on suspicion of failing to disperse after the university’s Police Department ordered around 40 protesters to leave Dickson Court North, where they had established a “Gaza solidarity Sukkah” and a handful of tents, authorities said. Student protesters erected the sukkah Monday morning to observe the Jewish holiday of Sukkot and demand the university divest from companies that do business with Israel and call for an end to the war in Palestine. By Monday evening, students had also set up a small number of tents. At 3:20 p.m., UCPD issued a statement saying that students were assembling in an area not designated for public expression, using unauthorized structures and amplified sound — all of which violate the protest policies enacted in September in response to the massive pro-Palestinian protests that rattled campus in April. According to reporting from the Daily Bruin, a group of pro-Israel counterprotesters arrived in Dickson Court North around 8 p.m., and pro-Palestinian protesters began dismantling their tents around 8:20 p.m. The department issued an order to disperse about 10 minutes later, after which

GLENDALE, Ariz. —  Jim Harbaugh paced the sideline with his hands on his hips. He kicked impatiently at the grass at State Farm Field as the Arizona Cardinals ran the clock down. The Chargers head coach had no other answers. The Chargers’ top-ranked defense folded in the most critical moment and the offense never arrived, losing 17-15 to the Arizona Cardinals on Monday as the Cardinals on a last-second field goal. “It was a game of a lot of near misses,” Harbaugh said, “or close calls.” The Chargers (3-3) were plagued by both. While quarterback Justin Herbert threw for a season-best 349 yards on 27-of-39 passing, the offense sputtered with dropped passes and an anemic running game. Kicker Cameron Dicker was the most reliable weapon, hitting all five of his attempts, including a 40-yarder with 1:55 remaining that put the Chargers up by one. They just needed their defense that was allowing the fewest points per game to make a final stop. Instead, an unnecessary roughness penalty on rookie cornerback Cam Hart moved the Cardinals (3-4) to their 45-yard line. After catching a short pass, Cardinals

One person was arrested after UCLA campus police ordered those attending an “unauthorized demonstration” to disperse Monday evening. The pro-Palestine demonstration featured about 40 people, UCLA police said, and was located at Dickson Court North, an area not “designated for public expression,” according to school policy. The demonstration was organized by a student organization called Graduate Students for Justice in Palestine. It involved a makeshift sukkah, a temporary structure associated with the Jewish weeklong holiday of Sukkot—which is being observed through Wednesday. The student organization said it intended to welcome observers of all faiths who support their movement to visit the sukkah, which it had hoped to maintain for seven days. “All who believe in justice and liberation for Palestine are welcome at this interfaith observation of Sukkot,” the organization wrote in an Instagram post. But those plans proved to be short-lived, as UCPD stated that the structure, as well as the use of “amplified sound,” were in violation of the school’s controversial “Time, Place and Manner” policy, which sets rules for when and where students are allowed to exercise their First Amendment rights.

Todo comenzó con una fiesta de cumpleaños. Ese es el título del primer capítulo del libro Dear Black Girls, escrito por A’ja Wilson (dos veces campeona olímpica, tres veces nombrada MVP de la WNBA, y actual jugadora de Las Vegas Aces). Este libro no es un libro de motivación personal, mucho menos un cuento de hadas (si eso es lo que estás buscando). Este libro es un testimonio de invalidación, y también una partida que comenzó hace mucho tiempo y sigue sin ser reconocida. La bandera confederada aún ondeaba en lo alto de las calles de la ciudad de Hopkins, Carolina del Sur, cuando todo aquello comenzó. Un día, en la escuela primaria, A’ja escuchó a sus amigas hablar de una pijamada en la fiesta de cumpleaños de su mejor amiga. Ella no había sido invitada aún, pero supuso que lo sería. A’ja y sus amigas esperaban con ansias el día. De la nada, su mejor amiga y anfitriona le preguntó: —¿Irás a mi fiesta? A’ja respondió emocionada:—¡No me lo perdería por nada del mundo! Su amiga contestó:—Verás, es una pijamada, pero deberás dormir afuera.

A Los Angeles man was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence after he called 911 multiple times while intoxicated and sitting in his car, according to the San Marino Police Department. The calls came in Saturday around 4:40 a.m., police said. The caller, a 37-year-old Los Angeles man, purportedly called 911 four separate times and was described by dispatchers as sounding disoriented and distraught. Officers located the man’s vehicle near the intersection of Los Robles Avenue and Monterey Road, where they found him sitting in the driver’s seat and showing signs of being drunk. An open bottle of alcohol was also seen in the center console of the vehicle, police said. “The driver appeared stressed and in an emotional state with a strong odor of alcohol and advised officers he was sick and needed medical attention,” the Police Department stated in its weekly police activity report. Paramedics were called to the scene to evaluate the man, but police say he refused to be taken to a local hospital for further examination. Instead, officers conducted a field sobriety test and determined he showed clear

A Solvang restaurant is about to make its debut on “America’s Best Restaurants.” The streaming show travels the country, visiting locally-owned and independent restaurants. “They’re the places where we like to go after graduations and after baseball games and football games, where we go to meet new friends and old friends and ‘America’s Best Restaurants’ whole objective is to make sure these restaurants that are in your community, that are right in your backyard, get the observation, the recognition that they deserve,” said Theo Williams, host of “America’s Best Restaurants.” The show selects its features based on customer reviews, menu items, social media presence, and community involvement.

Six feet of fencing now separates people from a shear drop-off at one cliff-side property in Isla Vista. “Some of the ways I know people have fallen is like at a party, they’re talking and they’re like leaned up against a fence or they maybe go sit up on it and then they lean back and fall,” said Gavin Solomon, Santa Barbara City College student. Just beyond the beer pong tables at 6761 Del Playa, now stands a 6-foot-tall fence, which Solomon says has helped keep people safe during parties. “It’s definitely like brought the risk down from like high risk of someone falling off to like very low risk. Someone would have to like legitimately like climb over and jump off,” Solomon said. According to Santa Barbara County District 2 Supervisor Laura Capps, 14 people have died from accidental cliff falls in Isla Vista over the last 20 years. “A young woman last February fell from this fence. Fortunately, she lived and the property owner rushed to do whatever was possible to keep the residents safe,” Capps said. This is the first property out

GLENDALE, Ariz. —  Jim Harbaugh paced the sideline with his hands on his hips. He stomped on the grass at State Farm Field as the Arizona Cardinals ran the clock down. The Chargers head coach had no other answers. The Chargers’ top-ranked defense folded in the most critical moment, losing 17-15 to the Arizona Cardinals on Monday as the Cardinals (3-4) easily moved into field goal position in the final two minutes. Chargers rookie cornerback Cam Hart was called for unnecessary roughness while breaking up a second-down pass with 1:51 remaining, moving the Cardinals to their 45-yard line. After catching a short pass, Cardinals running back James Conner ran through two tackles on the next play, stretching what should have been a modest gain into a 33-yard back-breaker. Chad Ryland kicked the game-winning field goal five plays later as time expired. The Cardinals’ only kick of the night easily overpowered the Chargers’ spotty offense that only mustered five kicks from Cameron Dicker. The 24-year-old had a career-long 59-yard field goal and a 50-yard boot as the first half expired and gave the Chargers a 15-14 lead

A suspected serial killer from Mississippi will stand trial for three cold case murders committed in 1977, the Ventura County District Attorney’s Office announced Monday. Warren Luther Alexander, 73, is accused of strangling three women to death in Ventura County nearly 50 years ago. Warren Luther Alexander, 73, is charged with first-degree murder for the strangulation deaths of three women in Ventura County in 1977. (VCDA) In February 2023, detectives began re-examining the 1977 murders of Kimberly Carol Fritz, Velvet Ann Sanchez and Lorraine Ann Rodriguez.  While the exact circumstances surrounding the women’s deaths were not disclosed by the D.A.’s Office, an article published in 1978 in the Utah publication the Daily Herald stated that the three women were prostitutes who were strangled with their own underwear.  Fritz, who was only 18 at the time, was found in a motel room on May 29, 1977. Sanchez, 31, was found dead in an Oxnard motel on Sept. 9, the Daily Herald reported. And Rodriguez, then 22, was found dead near a highway in Oxnard on Dec. 27, although investigators believed she was also killed at a
