Breaking News: High Court Reinstates Trump Travel Ban, Will Hear Arguments

BREAKING NEWS: The Supreme Court is letting the Trump administration mostly enforce its 90-day ban on travelers from six mostly Muslim countries, overturning lower court orders that blocked it. The action today is a victory for President Donald Trump in the biggest legal controversy of his young presidency. The court did leave one category of foreigners protected, those “with a credible claim of a bona fide relationship with a person or entity in the United States,” the court said in an unsigned opinion. The justices will hear arguments in the case in October. Trump said last week that the ban would take effect 72 hours after being cleared by courts. The ban would apply to citizens of Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen. The Trump administration said the ban was needed to allow an internal review of the screening procedures for visa applicants from those countries. That review should be complete before October 2nd, the first day the justices could hear arguments in their new term.  This Breaking News report brought to you on Beaver County Radio by…

Vacant New Castle Home Destroyed In Suspicious Fire

Fire destroyed a home in New Castle early Sunday morning. It happened around 12:30 a.m. at a home on the corner of Jefferson and West Lutton streets. It took firefighters at least an hour and a half to bring the fire under control, but hot spots were still popping up around 2:30 a.m. The house was unoccupied, as the previous residents had recently moved out. Fire officials said the previous tenants were forced to move out two weeks ago because of code violations. The house is a total loss and will be torn down. No injuries were reported. The cause of the fire has not yet been determined. It is being considered suspicious.
