    U.S. Deported Iranians Amid War | Savannah News

    Newly leaked emails reveal U.S. immigration officials secretly coordinated with Iran to deport over 100 Iranians in 2025 and early 2026 — even as the two nations were locked in a 12-day war. Iranian officials reportedly had final say over who got deported, including last-minute changes to lists — and at least one person not on the final roster was sent back. Despite knowing many Iranians were fleeing Iran’s brutal crackdown on dissent, the U.S. prioritized repatriation, with ICE officials calling it a “priority” despite logistical nightmares like closed Iranian airspace and missing travel documents. Human rights groups are outraged, pointing to Iran’s record of persecuting women, minorities, and political dissidents — and questioning whether asylum seekers were among those deported. The emails also hint at secret meetings between Iranian officials and detained Iranians in the U.S., raising alarms about potential violations of U.S. asylum laws — even as DHS denies sharing sensitive asylum data with Tehran.

    Tupac Trial: Davis, FBI, and New Testimony | Savannah News

    The Tupac murder trial heats up as new witnesses take the stand, including former FBI agent Wade Lee, who revealed Duane “Keffe D” Davis was a person of interest — though no direct evidence linked him to the killing. Lee admitted there was no proof Davis ordered the hit or was in Vegas at the time. Later, LAPD detective Daryn Dupree testified that Davis allegedly confessed to being involved in “the other one,” referencing Tupac’s murder — while also claiming Davis’s nephew fired the shots. The testimony also brought up Sean “Diddy” Combs, with claims he owed money tied to the crime. The jury heard about Davis’s prior drug conviction, prompting judicial intervention. Court adjourned for the day, with more testimony expected tomorrow. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

    Tayquan Lampkin Gets Life for Twin Brothers' Murder | Savannah News

    A jury in Jasper County just convicted Tayquan Lampkin in a shocking case that left twin brothers dead and two others injured outside a bar in Okatie. After just over three hours of deliberation, the jury found him guilty on all five charges — including two counts of murder — and sentenced him to consecutive life terms plus 35 years for other offenses, all to run simultaneously. The 24-year-old victims, who’d celebrated their birthday just days before the shooting, were unarmed. Prosecutors used surveillance footage, forensic evidence, and even Lampkin’s own recordings of the aftermath to prove he led the “Burton Boys” and fired multiple illegal “Glock switches” — weapons still missing. Lampkin, the first of three defendants to go to trial, will begin serving his sentence in state prison and retains the right to appeal, while his two co-defendants await trial in 2027.

    Student Pushes to Rename Bradwell Institute | Savannah News

    A recent Bradwell Institute grad is sparking a movement to rename his alma mater, arguing the Confederate-soldier-turned-segregationist namesake no longer reflects the school’s diverse student body. Inspired by national racial justice conversations, he’s launched a petition to honor Septima Clark — a local civil rights icon and literacy pioneer — instead. With nearly 700 signatures already, supporters say future students deserve a name that symbolizes unity. The school system has acknowledged the push but hasn’t scheduled a board vote; King plans to present it once his goal of 1,000 signatures is met. He’s focused on legacy: changing the name for generations to come, even if his diploma still bears “Bradwell.” Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

    Sharks Tracking Hurricanes from Below | Savannah News

    Scientists are turning to sharks—yes, sharks—to help track hurricanes. Professor Aaron Carlisle at the University of Delaware is tagging sharks with satellite trackers to monitor ocean conditions beneath the surface, offering a unique perspective on how storms form and behave. This wild but vital method adds critical data on temperature, salinity, and currents that traditional tools miss, helping forecasters predict storm intensity and movement more accurately.

    Screwworm Crisis Stalls Pet Adoptions | Savannah News

    A tiny bug called the New World screwworm is threatening Texas shelters, forcing bans on animal transport and leaving thousands of dogs and cats without homes. Once eradicated in the U.S., this parasite can infect pets and livestock, risking billions in the beef industry. To combat it, officials are deploying sterile fly traps — a method used decades ago — while states tighten health certificate rules. Shelters, already overwhelmed, struggle to find space and adopters, as stressed animals become harder to place.

    Teen Accused of Murder at 13 | Savannah News

    A teen accused of murder at age 13 is now facing adult charges — but here’s the twist: he’s only 16 now, and the crime happened when he was just a kid. Laquian Dawson, already in juvenile detention, is charged with killing 17-year-old Terrell Harris in 2023 — a case that went cold for two and a half years before prosecutors moved. He’s also a person of interest in another unsolved murder from a year earlier, where the victim was 12-year-old Desaray Gilliard — a case that could’ve been handled through juvenile court under Georgia law. Dawson pleaded not guilty and is seeking a jury trial as his Harris case heads to Superior Court with a November trial date looming.

    Stars and Stripes Publisher Steps Down | Savannah News

    Max Lederer Jr., publisher of Stars and Stripes, is stepping down at the end of September amid growing tensions with the Pentagon over editorial independence. He criticized the Defense Department’s push to overhaul the paper’s mission — shifting focus to military-centric content like weapons and fitness — as a betrayal of the newspaper’s long-standing commitment to First Amendment principles. The move follows the firing of the paper’s ombudsman and comes as Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth tightens control over Pentagon media, including controversial new policies like requiring escorts for journalists in classified areas. Lederer fears the push toward full digital transformation could alienate troops, while also questioning whether his retirement will be smooth or if an interim leader will be named.

    Missouri Judge Upholds GOP Redistricting | Savannah News

    A Missouri judge has blocked a statewide vote on new GOP-favoring congressional maps, ruling they can proceed for November’s elections — a move that could reshape the state’s political landscape. The decision, siding with the Republican Secretary of State, argues the state constitution doesn’t permit referendums on redistricting, while opponents vow to take the case to the Missouri Supreme Court, claiming their constitutional rights. This battle, fueled by last year’s special legislative session and former President Trump’s push for partisan gerrymandering, is part of a national trend as Republicans aim to gain House seats — though midterm trends and political headwinds make outcomes uncertain.

Her mother fought to get her daughter the tools she needed but was met with resistance. Xiolia passed away in 2025, and her mother now seeks justice to ensure no other child faces the same neglect — with court proceedings set for September 2, 2026.

    Hyperbaric Therapy for Cancer Patients | Savannah News

    A pioneering doctor challenges the oncology world’s skepticism about hyperbaric oxygen therapy, revealing how cancer cells thrive in low-oxygen, high-sugar environments—and how flooding the body with oxygen can starve them. Dr. Alan Meglin argues this treatment, when paired with low-carb diets and standard therapies, can dramatically improve outcomes—even doubling survival rates in aggressive cancers like glioblastoma. Though not a standalone cure and often unpaid for by insurance, his clinic offers home-use chambers and complementary therapies to support patients’ overall well-being.

    Savannah’s Gang Violence Crisis | Savannah News

    Savannah’s streets are heating up with two shootings leaving a teen and a juvenile injured—police are still piecing together if gang ties are involved, but officials are pointing squarely that way. Alderman Kurtis Purtee is calling for community-wide action to keep guns out of kids’ hands and even holding parents accountable. Sheriff Richard Coleman is pushing for a dedicated county gang unit to tackle the crisis head-on. The first shooting near Largo Drive triggered lockdowns at two schools, while the second on East 71st Street hit a juvenile. Mayor Van Johnson called it a tough day, stressing that public safety requires more than just police—it’s a shared responsibility we can’t ignore as long as reckless gun use continues. No arrests yet. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

    Veteran Builds Free Safety App for Parents and Service Members | Savannah News

    A former Army veteran and mother, Monaco has built Project Thirty-One, a free, beta-stage app designed to be your go-to safety hub. With her intelligence background, she’s stitched together public data into an interactive map showing missing kids, offenders, and safe zones — plus an anonymous tip system that routes reports to the right agencies. Her standout feature? “Mayday,” which disguises emergency alerts as text messages while secretly recording and sending them to trusted contacts. Especially vital for military folks — especially women — it offers a private path to report abuse without going through command. Self-funded and fully built by her, Monaco’s now seeking local partnerships to scale this lifesaving tool — all while keeping it free for everyone who needs it.

    Savannah’s Historic Heart Under Siege | Savannah News

    A bold new high-rise proposal is shaking up Savannah’s historic downtown, with developer Greg Parker eyeing the site across from City Hall in Johnson Square. While supporters see it as a sign of urban vitality, locals fear it’ll clash with Savannah’s beloved old-world charm — worrying about how tourists and residents will experience the area. Concerns range from disrupting the historic vibe to potential safety issues like falling ice. Though the existing 1950s building isn’t deemed historically significant and has already received approval for demolition, the debate rages on — with the mayor calling construction a positive sign, but noting the city hasn’t yet stepped in since zoning is the key issue.

    Mental Health or Murder? | Savannah News

    In a gripping courtroom drama, a defense psychologist testifies that Lindsay Clancy suffered from severe bipolar disorder and postpartum psychosis, rendering her unable to understand the wrongness of killing her three children. Dr. Paul Zeizel, who spent over 35 hours with her, describes her as experiencing paranoid thoughts, suicidal ideation, and a sense of brain damage — yet still capable of daily functioning. The prosecution fiercely counters, arguing Clancy meticulously planned the murders in January 2023, manipulating her husband’s schedule to carry them out. They question Zeizel’s credibility, pointing to Clancy’s medical records that lack evidence of auditory hallucinations and highlighting her awareness of her children’s birthdays even during psychiatric care. The jury now faces a pivotal decision: convict her as a murderer… or find her not guilty by reason of insanity, sending her to a mental health facility instead.

    Parker’s Skyline Plan for Savannah’s Historic Site | Savannah News

    Greg Parker, owner of Parker’s Kitchen and a major Savannah philanthropist, is moving forward with plans to demolish the historic Regions Bank building at 15 Bull Street — a “non-contributing” structure in Johnson Square — to make way for a new “skyline building.” The Historic District Board approved the demolition with conditions, including exploring deconstruction and documenting the building’s current state. This project is part of a broader development surge in the area, including a Ritz-Carlton plan nearby. City officials see construction as a sign of economic vitality, though they’re mindful of traffic and livability concerns. Parker may still need additional permits, and the city is watching closely as this prime downtown site evolves. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

    How the Ice Cream Cone Was Invented | Savannah News

    From a luxury dessert for presidents to a summer staple, ice cream’s journey is as sweet as the treat itself. Once costing over $7,000 in today’s money, it became accessible thanks to refrigeration and Italian immigrants’ edible waffle cups. The real revolution? The 1904 St. Louis World’s Fair, where a Syrian immigrant named Ernest Hamwi invented the cone by repurposing fried pastries—launching a global phenomenon. Today, while per-person consumption has dipped, that classic cone still wins hearts on hot days. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

    Swift Telescope Rescue Mission Canceled | Savannah News

    NASA’s last-ditch rescue mission to save the aging Swift Observatory has been scrapped after Katalyst Space Technologies’ Link spacecraft failed to stabilize, leaving the telescope doomed for fiery reentry later this year. Despite a $30 million investment and two decades of groundbreaking cosmic observations, Swift’s orbit is now too low to save. Though the mission ended in failure, Katalyst and NASA both acknowledge the valuable lessons learned—especially as other space assets like Hubble face similar orbital decay. Link will remain near Swift to test future rescue tech, offering hope that tomorrow’s missions might succeed where this one fell short.

    Hawaii Storm Lala Leaves Devastation | Savannah News

    Hawaii reels from the devastation of Hurricane Lala, now claiming two lives — a 60-something man found in a pasture and a 93-year-old woman — as torrential rains and hurricane-force winds left homes swept away, bridges destroyed, and roads cut off. With over 43 inches of rain in some areas, recovery efforts are just beginning. Meanwhile, forecasters warn a new tropical depression brewing southeast could become a hurricane by the weekend, urging all residents to stay vigilant as Lala itself intensifies into a Category 3 storm heading toward remote Midway Atoll — the first major Central Pacific hurricane of the year.
