DENVER (KDVR) -- A group of local moms self-named "Highland Mommies" is continuing volunteer work to help migrant families living in Denver, covering everything from clothing to food.

Families of American hostages in Gaza say Biden reaffirms commitment to freeing their loved ones

Published Fri, 07 Feb 2025 11:03:23 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden on Wednesday held his first in-person meeting with families of some of the eight Americans still unaccounted for and presumed taken captive by Hamas during its deadly Oct. 7 attack on Israel, reassuring the families that his administration was committed to reuniting them with their loved ones.The family members said in a statement following the meeting that they urged Biden to do “everything in his power to negotiate a swift and total release of the remaining hostages,” and they in turn offered to do “anything he needs” to win the hostages’ release.“We felt before and we’re only reinforced in seeing and believing that we could have no better friend in Washington or in the White House than President Biden himself and his administration,” said Jonathan Dekel-Chen, whose son Sagui is among the Americans believed to be held by Hamas.The two-hour meeting came a day after Biden appeared to sharpen criticism of Israel’s execution of its ret...

Judge in Trump election case pauses court deadlines as appeal is heard on presidential immunity

Published Fri, 07 Feb 2025 11:03:23 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump’s election interference case in Washington will be put on hold while the former president further pursues his claims that he is immune from prosecution, a judge ruled Wednesday.The decision from U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan raises the likelihood that Trump’s trial on charges of plotting to overturn the 2020 election, currently scheduled for March 4, will be postponed as the appeal of a legally untested argument winds through the courts.The issue is of paramount significance to both sides given that a court ruling in Trump’s favor would presumably derail the case and because a protracted appeal could result in a significant postponement of the proceedings, including until potentially after next year’s election, that would benefit the ex-president as he seeks to reclaim the White House.The three-page order is the latest volley in a simmering dispute over the scope of presidential power that has the potential to be dec...

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — The Miami Dolphins placed their starting center Connor Williams on season-ending injured reserve Wednesday after he suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in Monday’s loss to the Tennessee Titans.Williams, who will become a free agent in March, suffered the injury on the Dolphins’ first offensive series in a 28-27 home loss to Tennessee that knocked Miami out of the top spot in the AFC.The loss of Williams — one of Miami’s best offensive linemen — was felt on that same offensive series. A bad snap exchange between backup center Liam Eichenberg and quarterback Tua Tagovailoa resulted in a fumble that gave the Titans the ball at the Tennessee 2-yard line.Tagovailoa shouldered the blame for the mishandled snap, but added that it was an adjustment going from Williams to Eichenberg.“I’ve got to catch the snap,” he said. “I don’t get as many reps with Liam in practice. I get some reps as far as quarterback-center exchange, but because Conno...
