Iraqi National Charged with Terrorism for Targeting U.S. Citizens and Interests

The U.S. Department of Justice has announced the arrest of Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood Al-Saadi, an Iraqi national and senior member of the terrorist organization Kata'ib Hizballah.

New York Man Convicted for Operating Secret Chinese Police Station in Manhattan

New York Man Convicted for Operating Secret Chinese Police Station in Manhattan

Lu Jianwang, a 64-year-old man, has been convicted in a Brooklyn federal court for acting as an unregistered foreign agent of the Chinese government and obstructing justice. Lu was found guilty of running a clandestine Chinese police outpost in Manhattan's Chinatown, which was allegedly used to monitor and intimidate pro-democracy dissidents. The U.S. prosecutors argued that Lu's activities were part of a broader initiative by China's Ministry of Public Security to establish secret police stations worldwide. Lu, who also goes by the name Harry Lu, was acquitted of a related conspiracy charge but faces up to 10 years in prison for acting as an illegal foreign agent and up to 20 years for obstruction of justice. His defense claimed that the outpost was merely a community center for Chinese expatriates to renew their driver's licenses and engage in social activities.

NYC Council Proposes Ban on Dynamic and Surveillance Pricing to Protect Consumers

NYC Council Proposes Ban on Dynamic and Surveillance Pricing to Protect Consumers

The New York City Council is considering two new bills aimed at prohibiting 'dynamic pricing' and 'surveillance pricing' practices. These pricing strategies, often used by online retailers and grocery stores, involve adjusting prices based on algorithms that consider factors like consumer data and demand trends. Council Speaker Julie Menin and Majority Leader Shaun Abreu introduced the legislation, which seeks to prevent businesses from using personal data to set different prices for different customers. The proposed laws would make New York the first city in the U.S. to take such a stand against these pricing tactics, which have been criticized for exploiting consumers during an affordability crisis.

Texas Exurbs Lead U.S. City Population Growth, New Census Estimates Show.

Texas Exurbs Lead U.S. City Population Growth, New Census Estimates Show.

According to the latest U.S. Census Bureau data, Texas is home to the five fastest-growing cities in the nation, with Celina, TX, leading the list. From July 2024 to July 2025, Celina's population grew by 24.6%, significantly outpacing the national growth rate of 0.5%. The growth is attributed to affordable housing and new construction opportunities in these suburban areas. In contrast, major cities like New York are experiencing population declines due to high living costs and limited housing supply. The trend highlights a shift towards midsize cities offering better affordability and quality of life.
