Kumanjayi Baby Girl’s relatives share grief at ‘child ripped away’ as NT chief minister foreshadows charges | Indigenous Australians
Kumanjayi Baby Girl’s relatives have released a statement saying they felt “helpless” when they heard she was missing, and hope their community can unite in grief.
“A life so precious, so full of innocence, gone far too soon,” the Gurindji families said of the five-year-old Warlpiri girl, who was found dead in Alice Springs on Thursday evening – five days after she had gone missing from her bed in the Old Timers town camp.
Jefferson Lewis, 47, was arrested in connection with her disappearance and is expected to be charged as soon as Saturday.
“From a distance, [we] first heard the sounds on TV – a child missing, abducted, taken and ripped away from her mother’s life,” the Gurindji families said in the statement shared by Northern Territory senator Malarndirri McCarthy.
“We felt helpless, holding on to hope that someone, somewhere would bring news – an update, a sign, anything.
“Then came the voice of the police commissioner, echoing with heartbreak. In that moment, we knew she was gone.
“The pain of that reality will stay with us.”
Kumanjayi Baby Girl’s grandfather called for calm on Friday after a riot at the Alice Springs hospital, where Lewis had been taken after being assaulted at the town camp.
“It is time now for sorry business,” Robin Granites, a senior Warlpiri elder, said.
“Everyone is feeling very upset and emotions are very high. Our children are precious, of course we are feeling angry and hurt at what has happened.”
Lewis was later transferred to Darwin due to safety concerns and was discharged into police custody.
“We’re expecting police to lay charges today,” the NT chief minister, Lia Finnochiaro, told Channel 7’s Sunrise on Saturday morning.
“Obviously, they’re being left to do their important work, and no one wants to jeopardise anything that gets in the way of bringing the person who did this to justice.
“But I think Territorians and Australians, who are incredibly invested in this outcome, would expect to see the police make a move today.”
Hundreds of volunteers joined emergency services personnel in the five-day search for Kumanjayi Baby Girl.
The Gurindji families thanked everyone who helped in that search.
“It is [our] hope that this unity we have seen – people coming together, standing strong – will continue to grow, so we can walk forward together, shoulder to shoulder, as one community,” they said.

4 noncitizens in New Jersey charged with illegal voting in federal elections
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Four noncitizens were charged with illegally voting in multiple federal elections and making false statements while applying for U.S. citizenship, federal prosecutors announced Friday.
According to criminal complaints filed in the District of New Jersey, each defendant allegedly cast ballots in at least one federal election, including the 2020 and 2024 presidential elections.
“Four individuals have been charged with illegally voting in federal elections and making false statements applying for U.S. citizenship,” FBI Director Kash Patel said in a post on X.

“The individuals — all noncitizens — voted in elections including the 2020 Presidential election, 2022 midterms, and 2024 Presidential election cycles.”
Prosecutors identified the defendants as David Neewilly, 73, of Atlantic County; Jacenth Beadle Exum, 70, of Bergen County; Idan Choresh, 43, of Monmouth County; and Abhinandan Vig, 33, of Monmouth County.

They are accused of registering to vote in New Jersey while not U.S. citizens and falsely certifying their citizenship status on voter registration forms.
“This administration will not tolerate aliens who attempt to vote in our elections when they know they are not eligible,” acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said in a statement.
“As alleged, these green card holders lied in order to register to vote and then lied again to immigration authorities by falsely claiming never to have voted in a federal election.”
Blanche added the Justice Department “will use every authority to protect the integrity of U.S. elections.”

According to prosecutors, the defendants later falsely stated on naturalization applications that they had never registered or voted in federal elections.
“As alleged, the defendants broke federal law by voting in elections they were not eligible to participate in and then made false statements under oath to conceal that conduct,” U.S. Attorney Robert Frazer said in a statement.
“Today’s charges reflect this office’s commitment to protecting the integrity of our election system and ensuring that those who attempt to circumvent both our voting laws and our naturalization process are held accountable.”
Neewilly was charged with voting by an alien in a federal election and making false statements related to naturalization. He appeared April 22 before a U.S. magistrate judge in Camden.

Palestinian FA’s Rajoub refuses handshake with Israel at FIFA Congress
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Palestinian Football Association President Jibril Rajoub refused to shake hands or even stand beside Israel Football Association Vice President Basim Sheikh Suliman during a tense exchange at the FIFA Congress Thursday.
Both officials were invited to the stage by FIFA President Gianni Infantino, but the Palestinian representative resisted efforts to bring him closer to his Israeli counterpart.

The Palestinian FA, led by Rajoub, has long pushed for Israel to be suspended from international soccer competition.
Rajoub defended his decision, saying he remains committed to formal processes but believes stronger action is needed.
“I still respect and follow the legal procedure, but I think it’s time to understand that Israel should be sanctioned. The double-standard policy should stop,” Rajoub said, according to The Times of Israel.
“I refused to shake hands. Sport is sport. … For me, that should be respected, but if the other side is representing a criminal like Bibi [Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu] and speaking on behalf of Bibi as if Bibi is Mother Teresa, how can I shake hands or have a photo with such a man?

“I think Gianni has the right to try to bridge gaps and bring people together, but I think maybe he does not understand or does not know the deep suffering of the Palestinian people.”
After the exchange, Infantino addressed the room, urging cooperation.
“We will work together, President Rajoub, Vice President Suliman. Let’s work together to give hope to the children. These are complex matters,” Infantino said.
Speaking just before the incident, Suliman emphasized the unifying role of the sport.
“In football, there is no place for politics,” Suliman said. “Everyone has the right to play and compete. We are teaching children values like respect, equality and love for others, and we hope that by the next time we meet, the situation will be better. We extend a hand to the Palestinian FA in the spirit of those shared values.”

UEFA was reportedly moving toward a vote to suspend Israel over the war in Gaza in September, but the motion was put on pause.
Infantino announced no action would be taken against the team on Oct. 3 after a historic peace proposal by President Donald Trump and Netanyahu.
However, even after the peace proposal, Israeli sports teams have faced opposition and exclusion.

Gerry Conway, creator of the Punisher in Spider-Man comics, dies at 73 | Marvel
Gerry Conway, a renowned comic book writer who helped create characters and stories for Marvel and DC, including the Punisher character in the Spider-Man comics, has died. He was 73.
In a Monday statement announcing his death, Marvel described Conway as a legendary comic book writer with a prolific career. He died of pancreatic cancer on Sunday in Thousand Oaks, California, his wife, Laura Conway, told the Associated Press.
“From Spider-Man to the Avengers, Iron Man to Captain Marvel, Gerry Conway has deftly written almost every character in the Marvel Universe,” Marvel Comics editor-in-chief CB Cebulski said. “Gerry Conway’s legacy has made an undeniable and indelible impact on the Super Hero stories we know and love. He will be dearly missed.”
Tributes were also shared on social media.
“While many know his Marvel accomplishments … Gerry’s contributions to DC were equally impactful and significant: shaping Batman, Superman, the Justice League of America, and co-creating Firestorm, Jason Todd and Power Girl and so many more,” Jim Lee, chief creative officer and president of DC Comics, said in an Instagram post.
“Thank you, Gerry, for the worlds imagined and the heroes created.”
Conway was born in Brooklyn on 10 September 1952. A lifelong fan of comic books, he started writing comic book stories as a teenager, and by the age of 19 he landed work on The Amazing Spider-Man – which Marvel’s statement described as “the job that would change his life – and the comic book industry at large – forever.”
Conway’s writing featured “pivotal moments” that redefined the series, Marvel said, such as the death of Gwen Stacy, Peter Parker’s girlfriend. He also co-created the Punisher, a vigilante antihero known for the skull logo on his chest.
The skull imagery has been used by law enforcement in recent years, sparking controversy at times. Nearly a decade ago, Conway objected to police departments putting Punisher decals on their vehicles, saying in a social media post that the character was “a complex morally compromised anti-hero, not to be emulated by cops,” as reported the Syracuse Post-Standard.
Conway had a way of imbuing characters with nuance and emotional depth, Marvel said in its statement.
“Gerry Conway brought real stakes to his writing, able to weave together sensational super heroics with the human and relatable, and in doing so created some of the most memorable stories and characters of all time,” Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige said.
Beyond the Spider-Man comics, Conway wrote for several other major Marvel titles, including Fantastic Four, Thor and The Incredible Hulk.
In a 1981 interview with the Comics Journal, Conway noted how comic books can appeal to both younger and older audiences.
“I’m writing for the youthful part of myself, the primitive part of myself,” he told the magazine. “If an adult likes the books it’s because of a nostalgic feeling for that primitive, easy conceptualization of heroic purpose.”
He and his fans loved meeting each other, his wife Laura Conway said. At his last public comic book signing in February, “he was tired and in a lot of pain as the cancer was spreading, but he stayed an extra two hours to make sure every fan in line could get their book signed and have a moment to talk with him about comics,” she said.
“That’s the kind of person he was.”
Conway is survived by his wife and two daughters from previous marriages.
“Being separated from a soulmate is a unique kind of pain. But I’m grateful we found each other and for the time we had together, which changed both our lives,” his wife said.

Pete Alonso rips on traffic, crushes homer against Yankees in return to NYC
For the first time in his MLB career, Pete Alonso rolled into New York City as part of a visiting team.
Only, on Friday, he wasn’t headed to his old Citi Field stomping grounds; he was headed to the Bronx as he and his Baltimore Orioles teammates took on the New York Yankees.
And, right off the bat, Alonso knew he was back in the Big Apple, and that was all thanks to the city’s trademark nightmare traffic.
ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON’T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW!

The Baltimore first baseman was asked about his emotions when he arrived back in town, and he went right to bagging on the traffic.
“We flew into Newark, and then, I’m like, ‘We’re definitely back because we hit an insufferable wall of traffic,'” Alonso told SNY. “So it was definitely (like), ‘Yeah, alright, we’re here. We’re back; we are for sure back. This is unmistakably New York City.'”
SNY’s Michelle Margaux asked him if that meant Baltimore didn’t have traffic.
“No, they do, just not an insufferable wall of traffic,” he joked.
Alonso, who started his career with the Mets in 2019, said it was great to be back and to go down memory lane.
And speaking of memory lane, Alonso likely had fans thinking back to his rookie season, when he crushed 53 home runs, with his performance in this one.

In the top of the second, he hit an absolute bomb off Yankees righty Will Warren when he connected with the 1-1 pitch and sent it into the second deck in right field.
The cameraman almost didn’t seem like he believed how far that one went.
That was Alonso’s fifth home run this year, and probably one of the sweeter ones of his career.

Now, the only dinger that might taste even sweeter would be if he hits one when the O’s head to Queens for a three-game series against his former team.

Cuba says Trump’s fresh sanctions on its economy amount to ‘collective punishment’ | Cuba
Cuba’s government has said new sanctions imposed on the island by Donald Trump amounted to “collective punishment”, as an enormous 1 May procession outside the American embassy in Havana vowed to “defend the homeland”.
In an executive order on Friday, the US president said he would impose sanctions on people involved in broad sections of the Cuban economy, as he seeks to put more pressure on Havana after ousting Venezuela’s leader, Nicolás Maduro, earlier this year.
The latest sanctions constituted “collective punishment” of the nation’s people, said Cuba’s foreign minister, Bruno Rodriguez. “We firmly reject the recent unilateral coercive measures adopted by the #UnitedStates government,” he posted on X in English.
Trump has mused about taking over Cuba, which lies 145km from Florida and has been under a nearly continuous US trade embargo since Fidel Castro led a communist revolution in 1959.
On Friday, Trump used a speech in Florida to again suggest the US could launch operations against Cuba.
“On the way back from Iran, we’ll have one of our big – maybe the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier, the biggest in the world, we’ll have that come in, stop about 100 yards offshore and they’ll say, ‘Thank you very much. We give up.’”
The economic situation has worsened for Cuba since Washington imposed a fuel blockade in January, with only one Russian oil tanker making it through since then. Supply shortages and power cuts have become the norm, and tourism – once Cuba’s most lucrative industry – has plummeted.
Trump’s Friday order targets people known to “operate in or have operated in the energy, defence and related materiel, metals and mining, financial services or security sector of the Cuban economy, or any other sector of the Cuban economy”, as well as Cuban officials judged to have engaged in “serious human rights abuses” or corruption.
Jeremy Paner, a former sanctions investigator at the US Treasury’s office of foreign assets control, said the move was the most significant one for non-American companies since the US embargo against Cuba began decades ago.
“Oil and gas, mining companies and banks that have carefully segregated their Cuba operations from the United States are no longer protected,” said Paner, who is now a partner at Hughes Hubbard + Reed, a law firm.
Friday’s sanctions come despite moves toward dialogue between the two countries, with senior US officials visiting the island for talks in April.
The US has long demanded Cuba open up its state-run economy, pay reparations for properties expropriated by the government of former leader Fidel Castro and hold “free and fair” elections. Cuba has said its form of socialist government is not up for negotiation.
Friday’s fresh measures took effect during 1 May celebrations that saw huge crowds in Havana march to the US embassy under the slogan “Defend the Homeland”. The march was led by the Cuban president, Miguel Diaz-Canel, and former revolutionary leader Raúl Castro.
The day before, Diaz-Canel had called on Cubans to mobilise “against the genocidal blockade and the crude imperial threats to our country”, referring to US actions and rhetoric.
