A Letter to the Lakewood Community: Yesterday, I visited Judaica Plaza, and as I was leaving, I noticed a minivan with two young children inside. The doors and windows were closed, the ignition was off, and the oldest child appeared to be no older than four years old. There was no adult present with them. Initially, I felt uncertain about what to do. On one hand, I was reminded of the tragedy from last week, where a child tragically lost their life after being left in a car. On the other hand, the children seemed mobile and capable of opening the door themselves. I didn’t see the parent or guardian and wasn’t sure which store they had entered.

The Trump administration can stop approving new refugees for entry into the U.S. but has to allow in people who were conditionally accepted before the president suspended the nation’s refugee admissions system, an appeals court ruled Tuesday. The order narrowed a ruling from a federal judge in Seattle who found the program should be restarted. The three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said the president has the power to restrict people from entering the country, pointing to a 2018 Supreme Court ruling upholding President Donald Trump’s ban on travel from several mostly Muslim countries during his first term.

The genetic testing company 23andMe has filed for bankruptcy, prompting people who’ve used the service and sent in DNA samples to be analyzed to wonder what will happen to their genetic data. The company says the filing does not change how it stores, manages or protects customer data. But some privacy experts are recommending that people who have used 23andMe delete their data, given concerns not only about a potential buyer getting access to sensitive information, but also hackers who might take advantage of the upheaval to gain access to it. “What we’re witnessing with 23andMe is a stark wake-up call for data privacy,” said Adrianus Warmenhoven, a cybersecurity expert at NordVPN.

Top intelligence officials Tulsi Gabbard and John Ratcliffe told the Senate under oath on Tuesday that no classified content was shared in a Signal group chat created by National Security Adviser Mike Waltz to coordinate military actions against the Houthis.
“There was no classified material that was shared in that Signal chat,” Gabbard stated during the hearing. Ratcliffe echoed that, saying, “My communications, to be clear, in the signal message group were entirely permissible and lawful and did not include classified information.”
Gabbard reaffirmed, “I can attest to the fact that there were not classified or intelligence equities that were included in that chat group at any time.”

Columbia University’s interim president, Katrina Armstrong, has now confirmed that new campus regulations banning masks are indeed going into effect, addressing confusion that arose after reports surfaced claiming she told faculty the opposite, according to the New York Post.

Former President Donald Trump granted a pardon on Tuesday to Devon Archer, the ex-business associate of Hunter Biden, following Archer’s conviction related to defrauding a Native American tribe.
Archer had emerged as a significant witness in the GOP-led House probe into then-President Joe Biden’s potential involvement in his family’s overseas business ventures.
“I think he was treated very unfairly,” Trump stated at the White House before finalizing the pardon.
“And I looked at the record, studied the record, and he was a victim of a crime, as far as I’m concerned. So we’re going to undo that.”
Trump concluded with a cheerful message: “Congratulations, Devin!”
