Oklahoma’s top prosecutor is asking the federal Bureau of Prisons to transfer an inmate to state custody so that he can be executed for killing a 77-year-old woman in 1999. Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond requested the transfer Thursday of inmate George John Hanson, whose name in Oklahoma court records is John Fitzgerald Hanson. Hanson is currently serving a life sentence in federal prison. The Bureau of Prisons previously denied Oklahoma's request to transfer Hanson to state custody. But Drummond cited President Donald Trump's sweeping executive order this week that directs the U.S. Department of Justice to more actively support the death penalty.
The FBI has arrested a 21-year-old Washington state woman in the fatal shooting of a U.S. Border Patrol agent in Vermont during a traffic stop earlier this week. Teresa Youngblut is charged in Monday’s killing of Border Patrol Agent David Maland. The FBI says she and a German man who died in the firefight had been under surveillance for several days. According to an FBI affidavit, Maland stopped Youngblut and Felix Baukholt on Interstate 91 in Coventry because Baukholt appeared to have an expired visa. The FBI says Youngblut fired at Maland and other officers and that Baukholt tried to draw a gun. Authorities say at least one border agent opened fire, but they haven't said whose bullets hit whom.
Oath Keepers founder Rhodes is barred from entering Washington or Capitol without court's permission
A federal judge has barred Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes from entering Washington, D.C., without the court’s approval after President Donald Trump commuted the extremist group leader’s 18-year prison sentence in the Jan. 6 U.S. Capitol attack. U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta issued the order two days after Rhodes visited Capitol Hill, where the Texas resident met with at least one lawmaker, chatted with others and defended his actions the day of the riot. Mehta’s order applies to seven other defendants charged in one of the most serious conspiracy cases brought by the Justice Department over the riot. The order prohibits them from entering the Capitol building or surrounding grounds without the court’s permission.

A London judge has rejected a U.S. mother’s challenge to her extradition to Colorado to face murder charges in the deaths of two of her young children.

The 36-year-old mother also faces one count of attempted murder in the slashing of her 11-year-old daughter with a knife. Her lawyer says she denies the allegations. A judge in Westminster Magistrates' Court on Friday rejected her arguments that her human rights would be violated because she faces a sentence of life without parole if convicted in America.

Khan accused the men of crimes against humanity for gender-based persecution. The Taliban have barred women from jobs, most public spaces and education beyond sixth grade after they took back control of the country in 2021.
