Townhall meeting on Ramsey County’s bail reform effort set for Tuesday

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:32:19 GMT

A townhall on Ramsey County’s bail reform effort will be held Tuesday night.For the past three years, the county has been taking steps to reform its bail system and eliminate the disparities it can create. A work group includes the Ramsey County Attorney and Sheriff’s offices, St. Paul police, the nonprofit Justice Point and crime victims.Among the goals: moving away from the current cash bail system to one based on risk. A pretrial risk assessment would be administered — which would conclude while the individual is being booked into jail — to determine if they can be released until their first court appointment, county officials say.The county is one of seven sites selected across the country to be granted five years of research and policy support from Arnold Ventures to carry out the effort.The townhall will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. Tuesday at the Amherst H. Wilder Foundation, 451 N. Lexington Parkway, in St. Paul. The public can also attend via Zoom.To register,...

Nearly 100 cargo workers at DIA go on strike Monday, protesting unsafe work conditions

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:32:19 GMT

Nearly 100 Swissport cargo workers at the Denver International Airport are on strike Monday, protesting unsafe work conditions they say the company has been ignoring for more than a year.The strike that began last night is set to last through the day Monday, with a rally of the striking workers starting outside DIA’s Main Terminal at 10:30 a.m.“It’s a big ask to get people to risk their job in this way, even though it’s legally protected,” said Andrew Guttman, who works as a cargo agent for Swissport. People are nervous about it. Doing more than one day would’ve been a lot to bite off.”Cargo workers will be joined by other airport workers, community members and elected officials supporting their fight for safer working conditions, according to a Monday news release from the Service Employees International Union.While the cargo workers are not part of the union, they reached out to it for help after their Swissport strike notice gained 80 to ...

Rep. Jodeh: If “cease-fire” becomes taboo, what’s next, “peace”?

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:32:19 GMT

The images of mass graves, dead babies, grieving families, and absolute destruction have left me numb, enraged, depressed, and in shock.I am Palestinian. They are Palestinian. I feel helpless.Even as an elected official, I feel helpless. And my Jewish colleagues have expressed the same feeling of helplessness.And like many, I have cried for peace — cried out for an end to the violence, an end to the carnage, an end to this cycle of killing. I know I am not alone. And yet – there has been incredible pushback over the calls for cessation of violence, and specifically around one word, “ceasefire.”And though I have spoken to many, I am left wondering, “Is asking for a ceasefire unreasonable? Is even using the word “ceasefire” unreasonable? Why is wanting an end to the violence so inflammatory?”This past week, I penned an open letter addressed to the Colorado congressional delegation to urge the administration to push for an immediate, bilateral cease-fire.The letter, says th...

LAX passenger arrives on international flight without passport, visa, ticket: report

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:32:19 GMT

A Russian man flew from Europe to LAX without a passport, visa or plane ticket last month, and officials have no idea how he did it. Neither, it seems, does the man himself.Sergey Vladimirovich Ochigava faces a charge of being a stowaway on an aircraft related to a Nov. 4 flight, but according to a report by Jason Koebler published jointly by 404 Media and Court Watch, he "was not a stowaway in the traditional sense.""[Ochigava] seemingly interacted with flight crew, ate two meals on the plane, spoke to other passengers on the flight, and, at one point 'attempted to eat the chocolate that belonged to members of the cabin crew,' Koebler wrote. "The affidavit states that 'most' of the crew noticed him on the plane, and said he was sitting in a few different seats, but that nothing else seemed amiss."Despite being very visible to many on the plane, Ochigava, an economist, had apparently evaded security in Copenhagen, Denmark, from which his flight departed.Ochigava was not on the fligh...
