Sixth Circuit (en banc) rules that schools may not compel students to use preferred pronouns. The court notes that compelling pronouns “skews the debate” over trans issues. @DefendingEd brought the case.
Assistant track coach arrested on child exploitation charges in Fairfax County, Virginia 🚨 A Hayfield Secondary School assistant track coach has been arrested and charged with multiple counts related to child sexual abuse material in Fairfax County. Richard Huerta, 28, of Kingstowne, faces ten counts of possession of child sexual abuse material following an investigation by Fairfax County Police’s Child Exploitation Unit. The investigation began after detectives received a CyberTip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children indicating Huerta may have been in possession of illegal material. Authorities subsequently executed several search warrants and found electronic evidence tied to the allegations. Huerta was arrested at his residence and taken to the Fairfax County Adult Detention Center, where he is being held without bond. Fairfax County Public Schools officials said Huerta had been employed as an assistant coach since August 2025. The school system is in the process of terminating his contract, and he will not return to the school. #NoVa
228-190: House passed legislation to make foreign nationals inadmissible and noncitizens in the U.S. deportable if they are convicted of, or admit to, harming police animals including dogs and horses. 15 Democrats voted Yes with all Republicans and Rep. Kiley (I-CA), who was recorded as an Independent in the House for the first time since leaving the Republican Party March 9. The BOWOW Act now heads to the Senate.
🚨WATCH: Long before Stephanie Minter’s murder, police told Fairfax County Commonwealth’s Attorney Steve Descano’s office three separate times about how dangerous illegal immigrant Abdul Jalloh is, even warning that if Jalloh was released again, he could kill someone. But did police share those same concerns with ICE? They did not, because Fairfax County police sources told me they can’t - even in situations like this - because of a policy the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors dubbed the “Trust Policy.” Days after Stephanie’s murder, Fairfax County Chairman Jeff McKay defended his policy that bans Fairfax County police from working with ICE.
