(The Center Square) – HelloFresh, the largest meal-kit provider in the U.S., faces accusations from the U.S. Department of Labor of employing migrant children at a factory located in Aurora, Illinois. ABC7 reports at least six teenagers from Guatemala were found working night shifts at the factory. HelloFresh cut ties with Midway Staffing, an agency that hires migrants and is being investigated by the federal labor agency. The Illinois Department of Labor told The Center Square it had “no comment.” State Rep. Chris Miller called the incident an example of “state-sanctioned” human trafficking. "Tom Homan [President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for border security] will be like a pit bull getting this stuff done. I think Illinois will be a prime place to start. I think that they should start by throwing our governor and some of these politicians in jail for facilitating this nonsense,” said Miller. HelloFresh told ABC7 they were “troubled” by the staffing agency who facilitated the hiring of migrant children but are a partner of Tent Partnership for Refugees. Miller explained Tent is a nonprofit that supplies big corporations, like HelloFresh, with cheap “refugee” labor. In December 2022, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken signed a memorandum of understanding with the Tent Partnership to "expand economic opportunity for refugees" in the private sector.

"This is inhuman and immoral and it’s all because of the open border policy and cities and states adopting a ‘sanctuary status,’” said Miller. “This isn’t an ‘oops.’ This is on purpose and it’s all part of a multinational human/sex-trafficking and child labor ring.” According to the Reform for Illinois’ campaign finance database, Midway Staffing has made campaign contributions to many Illinois politicians like city of Berwyn, Mayor Robert Lovero, state Rep. Fred Crespo, D-Hoffman Estates, Secretary of State Alexis Giannoulias and state Sen. Donald DeWitte, R-St. Charles. A recent law impacting child labor was passed by state Sen. Robert Peters, D-Chicago, and signed by the governor. The bill requires all minors end work by 7 p.m. on school nights. Peters said the law, which goes into effect in January, ensures young Illinoisans have a healthy balance between their work responsibility and personal lives. “There are people out there who want to move our child labor laws in the other direction and weaken them,” Peters said at a news conference in the spring. “We are trying to strengthen them and people take that positively. [For example] you have a kid, you don’t want to have your kid working in that environment [hazardous meat-packing plant], you want them focused on their schooling or playing with their friends.” Miller said politicians are going to pretend to care by introducing bills like Senate Bill 3646. “The problem is that these people are illegals. They've been brought here by the Democrat administrations, both federally and in the state of Illinois,” said Miller. “They've created this huge mess now, and now they're going to pretend like they care, and they're going to go try to clean it up. It's all smoke and mirrors and political theater.” Peters was unavailable to comment on the HelloFresh federal investigation at this time.

Holly Valance’s property tycoon husband Nick Candy to become Reform UK’s treasurerNEW ORLEANS (AP) — A scruffy little fugitive is on the lam again in New Orleans, gaining fame as he outwits a tenacious band of citizens armed with night-vision binoculars, nets and a tranquilizer rifle. Scrim, a 17-pound mutt that’s mostly terrier, has become a folk hero, inspiring tattoos, T-shirts and even a ballad as he eludes capture from the posse of volunteers. And like any antihero, Scrim has a backstory: Rescued from semi-feral life at a trailer park and adopted from a shelter, the dog broke loose in April and scurried around the city until he was cornered in October and brought to a new home. Weeks later, he’d had enough. Scrim leaped out of a second-story window, a desperate act recorded in a now-viral video. Since then, despite a stream of daily sightings, he’s roamed free. The dog’s fans include Myra and Steve Foster, who wrote “Ode to Scrim” to the tune of Ricky Nelson’s 1961 hit, “I’m a Travelin’ Man.” “I’m a travelin’ dog and I’ve made a lot of stops/All over this town...” Leading the recapture effort is Michelle Cheramie, a 55-year-old former information technology professional. She lost everything — home, car, possessions — in Hurricane Katrina in 2005, and in the aftermath, found her calling rescuing pets. “I was like, ‘This is what I should be doing,’” Cheramie said. “I was born to rescue.” She launched Zeus’ Rescues, a nonprofit shelter that now averages 600 cat and dog adoptions a year and offers free pet food to anyone who needs it. She helped Scrim find the home he first escaped from. It was Cheramie’s window Scrim leaped from in November. She’s resumed her relentless mission since then, posting flyers on telephone poles and logging social media updates on his reported whereabouts. She’s invested thousands of dollars on wildlife cameras, thermal sensors and other gear. She took a course offered by the San Diego Zoo on the finer points of tranquilizing animals. And she’s developed a network of volunteers — the kind of neighbors who are willing to grid-search a city at 3 a.m. “...And at every stop I own the heart, of at least one lovely ... “ People like writer David W. Brown, who manages a crowd-sourced Google Map of all known Scrim sightings. He says the search has galvanized residents from all walks of life to come together. As they search for Scrim, they hand out supplies to people in need. “Being a member of the community is seeing problems and doing what you can to make life a little better for the people around here and the animals around you,” Brown said. And neighbors like Tammy Murray, who had to close her furniture store and lost her father to Parkinson’s disease. This search, she says, got her mojo back. “Literally, for months, I’ve done nothing but hunt this dog,” said Murray, 53. “I feel like Wile E. Coyote on a daily basis with him.” Murray drives the Zeus’ Rescues’ van towards reported Scrim sightings. She also handles a tactical net launcher, which looks like an oversized flashlight and once misfired, shattering the van’s window as Scrim sped away. After realizing Scrim had come to recognize the sound of the van’s diesel engine, Murray switched to a Vespa scooter, for stealth. “...If you’re ever in the 9th Ward stop and see/My cute little mini poodle ...” Near-misses have been tantalizing. The search party spotted Scrim napping beneath an elevated house, and wrapped construction netting around the perimeter, but an over-eager volunteer broke ranks and dashed forward, leaving an opening Scrim slipped through. Scrim’s repeated escapades have prompted near-daily local media coverage and a devoted online following. Cheramie can relate. “We’re all running from something or to something. He’s doing that too,” she said. Cheramie’s team dreams of placing the pooch in a safe and loving environment. But a social media chorus growing under the hashtag #FreeScrim has other ideas — they say the runaway should be allowed a life of self-determination. The animal rescue volunteers consider that misguided. “The streets of New Orleans are not the place for a dog to be free,” Cheramie said. “It’s too dangerous.” ”... and my Shar-Pei doll down in old Treme/Waits for my return ...” Scrim was a mess when Cheramie briefly recaptured him in October, with matted fur, missing teeth and a tattered ear. His trembling body was scraped and bruised, and punctured by multiple projectiles. A vet removed one, but decided against operating to take out a possible bullet. The dog initially appeared content indoors, sitting in Cheramie’s lap or napping beside her bed. Then while she was out one day, Scrim chewed through a mesh screen, dropped 13 feet to the ground and squeezed through a gap in the fence, trotting away. Murray said Cheramie’s four cats probably spooked him. “I wholeheartedly believe the gangster-ass cats were messing with him,” Murray said. Cheramie thinks they may have gotten territorial. Devastated but undeterred, the pair is reassessing where Scrim might fit best — maybe a secure animal sanctuary with big outdoor spaces where other dogs can keep him company. Somewhere, Murray says, “where he can just breathe and be.” ___ Brook is a corps member for The Associated Press/Report for America Statehouse News Initiative.

NAPLES, Fla. (AP) — Down by two shots with two holes to play, Jeeno Thitikul knew exactly what was needed to capture the biggest prize in women's golf history. And another eagle-birdie finish — for the second straight day — made it happen. Thitikul claimed the record-setting $4 million first-place check by winning the CME Group Tour Championship on Sunday. It's the biggest money prize in women’s golf history, bigger than even the winner’s shares in three of the four men’s major championships this year. “Today, standing here with the trophy, it's more than I can ask for,” Thitikul said. Thitikul shot a 7-under 65 on Sunday and finished the week at 22 under, one shot ahead of Angel Yin (66). Yin had a two-shot lead walking to the 17th tee, only to wind up settling for the $1 million runner-up check. Yin — who missed the start of the season after breaking her leg over the winter — hardly sounded defeated after finishing second and more than doubling her 2024 earnings in four days. “I’m pretty awesome. ... I’ve learned that I just need to believe my myself and that’s what I did," Yin said. The win and the massive check came down to the 18th hole, Thitikul and Yin tied at 21 under after a back-and-forth day atop the leaderboard — both knowing a mistake would likely come at a $3 million cost. Both hit the fairway on 18. Thitikul’s approach was nearly perfect, stopping about 5 feet from the cup. Yin’s response stopped maybe 15 feet away, giving Thitikul the edge as they walked up the fairway. She was smiling broadly as she approached the green, almost as if she knew what was about to happen. Yin’s birdie putt just missed. Thitikul’s was dead center. And history was hers. Her plans for all that cash? “Definitely spend it,” Thitikul said. “That’s an honest answer, for sure. Definitely going to spend it for a little while.” She already had clinched a $1 million bonus this week through the Aon Risk-Reward Challenge, a competition based on how players score on a designated hole each week. In the end, it wound up as a whopping $5 million week for the 21-year-old from Thailand — and going 8 under on the Nos. 17 and 18 over the four days at Tiburon Golf Club made the difference. “All the hard work paid off,” said Thitikul, whose eagle-birdie close to Saturday's round pulled her into a tie for the lead with Yin going into Sunday at 15 under. It didn’t take long on Sunday for Thitikul to jump in front, with birdies on two of the first three holes to grab a two-shot edge. Her lead vanished with a two-shot swing on the par-4 fourth; Yin made birdie, Thitikul bogey. It seemed like Yin grabbed control on the par-3 16th. Her birdie putt from across the green — about 25 feet — rolled in for a two-shot lead with two holes to play. But her second shot at the par-5 17th missed the green right, and the door was opened for Thitikul. The eagle-birdie finish Saturday gave her hope. The eagle-birdie finish Sunday gave her so much more — even though, it turns out, the second shot on the par 5 wasn't one that she caught flush. It worked out anyway. “Just lucky enough,” Thitikul said. Olympic gold medalist Lydia Ko (63) finished third at 17 under, her nine birdies coming in a 13-hole span. “I’m excited to be able to work hard this offseason and have another great 2025,” Ko said. Ruoning Yin (68) was alone in fourth at 16 under, and LPGA player of the year Nelly Korda (66) finished at 15 under along with Narin An (68). Ayaka Furue finished at 13 under, good enough to give her the Vare Trophy as the LPGA’s season-long scoring champion over Haeran Ryu. “I feel very happy to have this trophy in my hands,” said Furue, the first Japanese player to win the Vare. Lexi Thompson — a 15-time winner as a pro who plans to step away from full-time golf — finished at 2 under. It’s not clear how often Thompson plans to play in 2025 and beyond; that said, she returns to Tiburon the week of Dec. 9 for the Grant Thornton Invitational, where she’ll team with Rickie Fowler in the event featuring PGA Tour and LPGA Tour players. “I’m not going anywhere, guys.” Thompson said. “I’ll be back in two weeks.” There were two players who said they were retiring after Sunday’s round: Marina Alex, who shot 66 to finish at 12 under, and Ally Ewing, who closed with a 68 to wrap up the week at 11 under. “I’m happy to have ended on my best,” said Alex, a bottle of sparkling wine in her right hand, a bouquet of flowers in the other. Added Ewing: “I’ve been at peace with my decision. It’s just so nice to be able to share the walk with my family this week.” But in the end, the week belonged to Thitikul. And as the sun was setting over Tiburon on Sunday, she was ready for her offseason to begin with a well-deserved celebration. “Anybody hungry?” she asked. “I am.” With Sunday's check in her pocket, she can dine anywhere she wants for a while.

Clemson left guard Trent Howard out with ACL tear for South Carolina game

Support for President-elect Donald Trump has grown in nearly every city and town in the Bay Area since 2016, including significant inroads in some of the Bay Area’s most Democratic strongholds. In 67 of the region’s 69 cities and towns, the number of votes Trump received in 2024 was higher than in 2016, and a new analysis of election data by the Bay Area News Group found one particularly significant factor: income. The places with the lowest incomes — San Pablo, Richmond, Antioch, Oakland, San Leandro, Pittsburg and East Palo Alto — all tallied at least 50% more Trump votes in 2024, while the highest-income cities and towns showed the least change overall. “Overwhelmingly, this is an affordability issue,” said Mike Madrid, a Republican political strategist and author of a new book about Latino voters, “The Latino Century.” “It’s not a jobs issue, it’s not a taxes issue, it’s not your standard Republican perspective on the economy.” “This is entirely consistent with what we have been seeing nationally,” Madrid said. Of the 10 Bay Area cities with the highest share of votes for Democrats in 2016, five counted at least a 50% increase in votes for Trump, a Republican, in 2024, a figure that’s higher than the regional average. East Palo Alto — with a median household income of $105,000, the lowest in San Mateo County — had the region’s most dramatic increase in Trump voters, more than tripling from 409 in 2016 to 1,282 in 2024. His vote share grew from 6% to 19% of voters. “That’s an area that’s economically disadvantaged, where people are really feeling the inflation and the increase in the cost of things like groceries and gasoline,” said Melissa Michelson, a political science professor at Menlo College. The city of 30,000 people is nestled between two much wealthier cities, Menlo Park and Palo Alto, where Trump gained 32% and 31% more votes in 2024, respectively. Cities , which was predominantly Black a few decades ago and is now majority Latino, have been Democratic strongholds in recent decades. But in 2020, the city started to shift more red. There was another increase for Trump in 2024. On the campaign trail, Vice President Kamala Harris did not successfully separate herself from the dissatisfaction with President Joe Biden, whom many voters, and Trump, blamed for the country’s inflation and other economic woes. Harris received 13.8% fewer votes than Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton did in East Palo Alto in 2024, the largest such decrease noted in any area city. “We are moving, and have been moving for some time, away from a racially and ethnically prioritized voter toward a more economic, populist, pocketbook voter,” Madrid said. “The data has been very clear to me for 10 years. This is a working-class problem.” Trump’s populist messaging appears to have resonated with an increasingly large share of the electorate in the Bay Area. While he only received 17.7% of the region’s vote in 2016, he received 24% of votes in 2024 across Alameda, Contra Costa, San Francisco, San Mateo and Santa Clara counties, his largest vote share of his three elections. Overall, the number of Trump voters increased by 43% from 2016 to 2024, according to election results finalized in early December. “This blue bubble that we think we live in isn’t really a blue bubble,” Michelson said. And with election results finalized earlier this month, it’s become clear that even some of the bluest cities have started to look a lot more violet with each of the last two elections, although Trump voters are not as visible in the region as elsewhere in the state. In the Bay Area, “people that do vote for Trump, they tend to maintain a low profile,” said Tom Weissmiller, a San Mateo resident and elected member of the San Mateo County Republican Party. Republicans in the Bay Area have learned to “look over your shoulders on both sides” before discussing their views, Weissmiller said, because “the vitriol that would come out against Republicans was staggering.” But “there is a sea change going on in the Bay Area” Weissmiller said. More people are voting for Trump, and Republican voter registrations are rising again after reaching historic lows. Only 20 cities saw an increase in Harris’ margin compared to Clinton’s against Trump, but eight of the nine cities with at least $250,000 median household income saw her margin grow. Turnout also appears to be a factor. In East Palo Alto, turnout dropped to 56.8% this year after peaking at 72.5% in 2020, but Trump votes tripled there, and his vote share grew even more. When Trump first ran, he received 5.9% of the vote in East Palo Alto. Only Emeryville, Oakland and Berkeley had lower support for him that year. But in 2020, his vote share grew to 11.2%, and the city dropped to eighth on the list of bluest places. This year, it dropped further down the list, to 16, with the former and future president getting 19.1% of votes in the city in 2024. Across the region, Biden won the 2020 election with about 20% more votes than Clinton did in 2016. But overshadowed by Biden’s win, Trump’s support quietly grew by twice that in the region in 2020. And this year Trump maintained his 2020 gains and even grew them slightly. , despite her close personal ties to the state as a former U.S. senator and California’s attorney general. Richmond and San Pablo in Contra Costa County also saw support for Trump more than double. Those cities’ residents are also predominantly Latino and Black, and those cities also fall toward the bottom when it comes to income, with median household income of $90,000 and $78,000 respectively. Related Articles The highly affluent communities of Moraga and Piedmont, in the Oakland hills, were the only two municipalities that saw fewer Trump votes this year than in 2016. The median income in Moraga is $194,000 a year, and in Piedmont it is at least $250,000. As for the future for Democrats, Madrid thinks this election is a warning. “You can’t excuse or explain or pretend that this is not bad news,” he said. “It’s bad news.”

Trump promises to end birthright citizenship: What is it and could he do it?Actor Keanu Reeves has said he joined the cast of Sonic The Hedgehog 3 as he is “a big fan” of the series. Reeves, 60, plays Shadow in the latest film adaption of the Sega video game, which will see Sonic, Knuckles and Tails battle him to protect the planet. Speaking at the movie’s London premiere on Tuesday, the Canadian star said: “I’m a big fan, I mean, I really enjoyed the first two films. “I really liked the character of Shadow, so I was really excited to try to be a part of it.” The Matrix actor went on to speak about the differences between voice acting and appearing on screen. He added: “It’s fun to play pretend, I love acting, so it’s fun to try and inhabit another character. “There’s an intensity to doing voice work and specificity, it’s kind of more like doing, it’s its own thing, because it’s kind of like theatre, but no audience. “So it’s like doing radio, and it’s just fun.” Canadian-American actor Jim Carrey co-stars as villain Doctor Eggman, a role he told the PA news agency it was “great” to be playing again. Carrey told PA: “I do like to play a character filled with disdain here and there, the Grinch was that. “But there were other characters like The Truman Show, he’s somebody who loves the world and believes in the world, and believes in the people in his life, and believes in his neighbours, and he’s just a good-hearted soul that finds out there’s something more in the world than what he knows and something beyond his own neighbourhood. “So it’s a lovely story, but they’re all different characters, they all have different desires, and you have to do something special with each one.” He added: “I just let it rip when they say action, it’s just a perfect excuse to be an obstreperous bloviating bag of ill will. “And then of course they say cut, and all of that horrible politeness and needing to be loved seeps back in.” Sonic The Hedgehog 3 will be released in UK cinemas on Friday December 20.

You may never be more grateful than after you catch an Atlantic salmon. Though consider yourself warned: It won’t be easy. Which is, of course, the point. Born in rivers, salmon head out to sea, where they grow strong, turn silver, and live large. They travel hundreds, even thousands of miles before returning to their waters of origin, where they swim upstream to their native pool and spawn. Anglers try to connect with the salmon on this path, and we spend a considerable amount of time, attention, and money in order to do so. This summer I stood on the banks of the Flowers River in Labrador, Canada, having braved a six-hour layover in Halifax, an overnight in Goose Bay, and a float-plane ride into the Flowers—wearing an inflatable life vest that did not inspire confidence—just to get there. It was a pack-in effort (the lodge has its own solar-powered generator), and the liquor we ordered for the week wouldn’t arrive until the next plane. When you’re picturing me wading in frigid water, it’s important to understand that I was prepared to spend days hunting for a fish that might not even be there—this isn’t casting to trout, where the fish are present but may not be feeding. This is casting over and over and over again into what very well might be an empty pool. Salmon are called the fish of a thousand casts, and while we had heard that they would be in the Flowers, you never quite believe it—until you connect with one. I cast toward a large rock and swung a bomber (which looks like a short, stout, hairy caterpillar) through the pool; there was a surge of water behind the fly and a visible take. In a mild state of shock, I managed to set the hook. The fish jumped, then tore downstream. I started reeling, then it turned again and went on another galloping run, shorter this time, and finally, after some more nervy reeling, there was a 16-pound hen in the guide’s net, strong and vivid silver and straight from the sea. What an animal! Like many anglers, I look to fishing as an escape from what we might call real life : cell-phone reception, social media, news updates, professional responsibilities. Standing in the remote river, with nothing but forest in every direction, I felt a deep connection to the landscape, to those who built and maintained this camp in the wilderness, and to the knowledge that has been passed down through generations of guides, all of which contributed to this fleeting intersection of angler and fish. Sentimental? No doubt. But it’s worth remembering that none of us succeed on our own. To that end, the numbers of Atlantic salmon, which have been embarking on these miraculous migrations for millions of years, are down wherever they’re measured. Which means that even on the water, we can’t get away from decisions made in global capitals and the shortsighted priorities of politicians and developers. It’s easy to decry this sort of thing and more complicated to come up with solutions, but here’s one: When we enjoy the traditions of fishing, sport, suiting, food, wine, art, or anything else, it’s our duty to take the long view. Whether we like it or not, recreation is no longer a passive act. Climate change is affecting fishing, naturally—but I don’t just selfishly want to catch more fish. I want fish (and fishing!) to thrive far into the future, after I’m gone. We should want the rituals and customs we relish continuing for others. What will happen to the vineyards that grow the planet’s most celebrated wine? What about the diminishing numbers of artisans who uphold the bespoke-tailoring tradition? It’s a good thing Savile Row values its sartorial history enough that the tailors aren’t forced to pay market rents they can’t afford, and we need places like Liverano & Liverano , the venerable Florentine tailor, which continues to instruct apprentices from all over the world. Want to meet them? Go to the back of the lovely atelier on Via dei Fossi and you can. When you spend time on the water, you can’t help but become an evangelist for the cause, and it’s good to remember that we are not alone. As I get older, I’m more and more impressed by the environmental legacies that I’m embarrassed to have once taken for granted. The Atlantic Salmon Federation commits time, expertise, and resources to research, conservation efforts, and dam removal and has been fighting the good fight since 1948. Silver Creek Preserve, south of Ketchum, Idaho, is open to the public. Ernest Hemingway’s son, Jack—a far better trout angler than his old man—persuaded his wealthy friends to buy the land surrounding some of the best fishing in America, and they made it a destination for people from around the world who make pilgrimages to fish there. That’s the spirit. These things don’t just happen on their own. When we appreciate something, we have to do our part to make sure the tradition continues. That’s a worthy price for devotion.

Labor's bid to ram through almost 40 pieces of legislation on the last day of parliamentary sittings has been slammed as "hypocritical" and lacking transparency. or signup to continue reading The Albanese government has been chipping away at its agenda since Monday, but with only a few more hours to go in the last sitting week of the year, Labor will have to go warp speed to tick off its remaining items. Proposals like the social media ban for children under 16, clean energy incentives known as Future Made in Australia, and migration laws that would give the government powers to deport non-citizens are among the 36 bills that will be brought before the Senate on Thursday. Firebrand senator Jacqui Lambie lashed Labor for its "absolutely shameful" attempt to rush through "undercooked" bills. She said the government had guillotined more legislation in three years - which means forcing votes - than the coalition had in its almost decade in power. "How is it safe for employees in my office, to go through 41 bills in a matter of about 12 hours," she demanded. "Bloody hypocritical. And what about the right to disconnect? "It is dangerous to shove bills down our throats. It is dangerous to shove bills down Australian throats without us probably going through and actually having a good look at it, and putting it under the microscope." One Nation senator Malcolm Roberts referenced French revolutionary Maximilien Robespierre, saying his guillotines would have needed sharpening due to the sheer number being used by Labor. But manager of government business in the senate Katy Gallagher rejected Labor was trying to circumvent scrutiny or accountability. "We just want to deal with them. Yes or no, that is the position that we are bringing," she said. "At the end of the year, it is not abnormal for the Senate to have to deal with a large number of bills." Discussions have continued giving rise to last-minute amendments and other negotiations have reached an impasse. Senator Gallagher has said the government will go to other members of the Senate to get its legislation across the line. That has become more difficult as the Senate suspended independent senator Lidia Thorpe on Wednesday night after she threw pieces of paper at Pauline Hanson over a racism row. This means Senator Thorpe has been barred from the chamber and will be unable to vote on any legislation. Members of the Senate have also raised concerns that the compressed timeline will not allow bills to be properly considered, with Nationals senator Matt Canavan arguing that each piece of legislation would only receive 15 minutes of debate assuming the chamber sat for its usual nine-hour day. "What other workplace gets to knock off in November and not back until February?" he wrote on X. A federal election must be held by May 17, but if the government opts for an earlier contest, politicians may not return to Parliament House before Australians go to the polls.
