New York City is offering 150 migrant families up to $4,000 each to leave city shelters as part of a grant program using “leftover” city funds. The city has spent more than $5 billion on housing migrants. (News Nation)
Police in Aurora, Colorado, are pushing back on claims that armed gangs from Venezuela have taken over a rundown apartment complex in the suburb of Denver. The claims come from videos of armed men moving around the apartment complex, an incident that the police will not comment on. The Aurora PD said they’ve arrested six people citywide linked to the dangerous Tren de Aragua gang. (ABC News)
However, a Denver law firm hired to investigate the matter tells a different story. The Perkins Coie law firm report finds that the Tren de Aragua gang began taking over the Whispering Pines Apartments in late 2023. Since then, the gang has engaged in violent assaults, threats of murder, extortion, strongarm tactics, and child prostitution as they have exerted a "stranglehold" on the Aurora apartment complex. The property manager of the building also confirmed the gangs’ presence in the apartment complex and said it began before he started his job at the apartment complex in April 2024. According to internal documents provided in the report, the Aurora PD became aware of the gang in June. (CBS News)

Economy
The June and July jobs report were revised downward by a combined 86,000 jobs. Making matters worse is hiring cooled last month, with the economy adding just 142,000 new jobs. This will add new pressure on the Fed to have a rate cut. (CNN)
Education
The University of Vermont was preparing to offer a postdoc fellowship to “BIPOC/POC scholars.” The American Political Science Association removed the post when Aaron Sibarium of The Washington Free Beacon asked them about the $ 70,000-a-year fellowship closed to white students.
Seattle is closing 20 public elementary schools after four consecutive years of declining enrollment. Asian students, in particular, left the city’s public schools in droves. (The Seattle Times)
A new poll of incoming students at Brown University showed that since the Supreme Court ruled that affirmative action based on race was illegal, the number of incoming black students has fallen in half. The number of incoming Hispanics has fallen by a third. (The Brown Daily Herald)
The University of South Carolina required all incoming students to affirm the value of "diversity and inclusion" as part of mandatory summer training. Students had to answer a quiz, affirming the values of diversity and inclusion, before they registered for the fall semester. The school has since backpedaled since the media began asking questions and now says the quiz is optional. (Washington Free Beacon)
