Singer Sean Kingston still remains in a South Florida jail.
A Broward judge has set a $100,000 bond for singer Sean Kingston, who is facing million-dollar fraud charges. Kingston is accused of stealing money, jewelry, a Cadillac Escalade SUV, and furniture.
Kingston, 34, whose real name is Kesean Anderson, was booked into Broward County jail late Sunday, days after the Jamaican-born artist was extradited to Florida.
Residents of a southwest Miami-Dade condo were allowed to return home after a frightening wake-up call early Tuesday morning involving carbon monoxide.
Emergency crews were sent to the Hemingway Villa condominiums, near the intersection of SW 94th Avenue and Bird Road, twice.
Residents said the first time was around 11 p.m. Monday and they treated someone not feeling well. Then, around 4:30 a.m., they were called back out. This time more people felt unwell.
"When our crews responded and arrived to find sick people, their carbon monoxide meters immediately activated, indicating a carbon monoxide leak," said Miami-Dade Fire Rescue Chief of Operations Danny Cardeso.
Around 20 fire rescue units were called in. Firefighters went door to door telling residents of the building they had to leave their units. Their doors were then left open to help ventilate the building.
President Biden on Tuesday unveiled new executive action authorizing U.S. immigration officials to deport large numbers of migrants without processing their asylum claims, announcing what is arguably the most restrictive border policy by a Democratic president in recent history.
Mr. Biden’s aggressive move suspends the processing of asylum claims between official entry points along the southern border, allowing U.S. authorities to more quickly reject and deport migrants who enter the country unlawfully.
"If an individual chooses not to use our legal pathways, if they choose to come without permission and against the law, they’ll be restricted from receiving asylum and staying in the United States," the president said in remarks at the White House.
The partial ban on asylum claims will take effect at 12:01 a.m. Wednesday. Regular asylum processing will only be restored 14 days after the secretary of homeland security determines that the weekly average of daily illegal border crossings has dipped below 1,500. The proclamation could be activated again if the weekly average of daily crossings between ports of entry surpasses 2,500.
To the dismay of migrant advocates, the seismic policy change attempts to upend U.S. asylum law, which allows migrants on American soil to request humanitarian protection, even if they cross the border illegally. But Biden administration officials have argued the asylum system is buckling under the weight of over 3 million pending applications, incentivizing migrants to come to the U.S. because it takes years to decide their cases.
