May 3 Midday Brief
In U.S. news
Police in Nassau County, New York, have charged 22-year-old Rony Yahir Alvarenga Rivera in the stabbing deaths of two women hours apart. Investigators say he was taken into custody after approaching officers and admitting he had killed someone earlier that night. Authorities say the two victims, ages 42 and 32, were known to him. County Executive Bruce Blakeman used the case to renew criticism of federal immigration policy, though police have not publicly confirmed the suspect’s status. Everyone, naturally, is now discovering principles very quickly.
Separately, a man was arrested at Trump National Doral Golf Club after allegedly disrupting a security screening, refusing orders, and making physical contact with a Secret Service agent. Police charged him with battery on a law enforcement officer, disorderly conduct, and resisting without violence. The Secret Service said the incident was contained and did not affect security.
In military and security news
The U.S. Army and U.S. Africa Command are searching in southwestern Morocco for two U.S. service members who went missing during annual multinational military exercises. The disappearance was reported Sunday, and officials have not released further details.
In tech and policy
South Africa has withdrawn a draft national AI policy after a newspaper reported it included fake academic citations and appeared to have been compiled with AI assistance. A minister said the problem is a reminder that human oversight still matters when governments try to regulate machines that are, to put it mildly, very committed to being confident about things.
In consumer safety
Ghirardelli has recalled several powdered drink mixes, including hot cocoa and frappés, over a possible salmonella risk. Consumers are being told to check the products and avoid using them.
