Open-borders claim about Charlotte stabbing debunked in Trump SOTU
A fact-checking explanation finds Trump’s assertion that the Ukrainian refugee murder in Charlotte happened because of open borders is false. The suspect, DeCarlos Brown, was a Charlotte native with prior arrests and a history of mental health issues; he had been released on non-cash-bail on other charges when the August stabbing occurred on a Lynx Blue Line train. Zarutska’s family and local reporting indicate these factors, not border policy, explain the tragedy, which has been used in political debates about crime and immigration.

"Biden's Executive Order: Protecting Americans' Personal Data from Foreign Sales"
President Biden has issued an Executive Order to protect Americans' sensitive personal data from exploitation by countries of concern, focusing on genomic, biometric, health, geolocation, and financial data. The order aims to prevent large-scale transfer of data to such countries, safeguard sensitive government-related data, set high security standards, and ensure that federal grants and contracts do not facilitate access to sensitive health data. The administration also seeks to balance data protection with the free flow of information and is urging Congress to pass comprehensive privacy legislation.
Ohio House Speaker Rejects Effort to Limit Court Jurisdiction on Issue 1
Ohio House Speaker Jason Stephens dismisses a proposal to deny court jurisdiction over the recent abortion rights amendment Issue 1, instead urging lawmakers to focus on maternal and early childhood care. State Rep. Jennifer Gross is pursuing a measure to nullify the courts' authority, but Stephens rejects the idea, emphasizing the importance of abiding by the Constitution and having conversations about what abortion opponents are for. While Stephens rules out rushing to the ballot with a repeal effort, he doesn't entirely rule out revisiting the policy in the future. Democrats remain cautious, recalling Republicans' previous maneuvering to get a related issue on the ballot.
"Low Prosecution Rates: Ohio Sec. of State Flags 641 Voter Fraud Cases, but Less than 3% Lead to Charges"
Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose has referred over 640 cases of potential voter fraud to state or county investigators since taking office in 2019. However, less than 3% of these cases resulted in charges, and even if every incident flagged by LaRose turned out to be voter fraud, it would only translate to a fraud rate of 0.0044%. The review of LaRose's fraud referrals found just 18 charges, with 13 resulting in convictions. Critics argue that LaRose's public pronouncements about fraud may undermine faith in the state's election system.
