Jan 28 (Reuters) – A car slammed into the entrance of the headquarters of a Jewish religious order in New York City on Wednesday in an incident that police said they were investigating as a hate crime.

No injuries were reported from the incident at the Chabad Lubavitch World Headquarters in Brooklyn and police said the driver was arrested. Chabad followers, also known as Lubavitchers, belong to the ultra-Orthodox Hasidic school of Judaism.

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani said the man who was arrested “intentionally, and repeatedly, crashed his car into the building.” Mamdani, who said he visited the location after the incident, described the act as “horrifying” and “deeply alarming” in a social media post.

New York City Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said the driver of the vehicle was arrested and a bomb squad found no explosive devices in the car.

“Earlier tonight a car crashed into a side entrance at Chabad HQ at 770 Eastern Parkway, the building encompasses one of the most important synagogues in the world,” Chabad Lubavitch spokesperson Motti Seligson said on social media, adding the driver was arrested “almost immediately.”

Tisch told reporters the incident was being investigated as a hate crime by the New York City Police Department’s hate crimes task force.

An ABC News affiliate identified the vehicle as a gray Honda with New Jersey plates.

Mamdani, Tisch and Seligson separately confirmed there were no injuries.

“Antisemitism has no place in our city, and violence or intimidation against Jewish New Yorkers is unacceptable,” Mamdani said.

Tisch said police have increased security “out of an abundance of caution” around houses of worship.

Hate crimes against Jewish communities have risen in recent years in the United States. Rights advocates have particularly noted a rise in hate against U.S. Jews and Muslims since the start of Israel’s war in Gaza after an October 2023 Hamas attack.

UK reopens Chagos Islands talks with US following Trump criticism of deal: reports

Starmer says discussions with Washington resumed after president’s social media post panned plan to hand Diego Garcia sovereignty to Mauritius

Talks between the U.K. and the U.S. over the future of the Chagos Islands in the Indian Ocean have reportedly reopened after President Donald Trump’s comments cast doubt over an agreement that would see Britain hand sovereignty of the strategically vital archipelago to Mauritius.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer confirmed Wednesday that the U.K. had reopened discussions after the president had panned the deal and branded it an “act of great stupidity,” GB News reported.

“Shockingly, our ‘brilliant’ NATO Ally, the United Kingdom, is currently planning to give away the Island of Diego Garcia, the site of a vital U.S. Military Base, to Mauritius, and to do so FOR NO REASON WHATSOEVER,” Trump had posted on Truth Social. “There is no doubt that noticed this act of total weakness.”

He added: “The UK giving away extremely important land is an act of GREAT STUPIDITY, and is another in a very long line of why Greenland has to be acquired.”

The Chagos Islands were separated from Mauritius during Britain’s decolonization process, a move the International Court of Justice ruled unlawful in 2019.

The U.K. later agreed to transfer sovereignty while leasing Diego Garcia back for at least 99 years at a cost of at least $160 million annually.

Diego Garcia is a hub for long-range bombers, logistics and power projection across the Middle East, the Indo-Pacific and Africa.

Around 2,500 military and civilian personnel, mostly American, are stationed there. The base serves as a critical operation point for the U.S. and plays a central role in intelligence gathering and securing military communications.

Speaking aboard a flight to China, Starmer said he had “discussed Chagos with Donald Trump a number of times,” but declined to confirm whether the issue had been raised during a phone call between the two leaders on Sunday, The Financial Times reported.

Starmer also said the matter “has been raised with the White House at the tail end of last week, over the weekend and into the early part of this week.”

Starmer also added that when the Trump administration took office, the U.K. paused the agreement for three months to allow the U.S. time to assess the deal at the agency level.

“Once they’d done that, they were very clear in the pronouncements about the fact that they supported the deal, and there were announcements made,” he said.

A Downing Street spokesperson also confirmed London was working to “allay any concerns” in Washington, according to GB News.

“We will continue to engage with the U.S. on this important matter and the importance of the deal to secure U.S. and U.K. interests and allay any concerns, as we’ve done throughout the process,” the spokesperson said.

Trump’s comments on the Chagos deal had been welcomed by Reform UK leader Nigel Farage, who wrote on X: “Thank goodness Trump has vetoed the surrender of the Chagos islands.”

Justice Department bracing for more resignations in Minnesota

PUBLISHED Jan 28, 2026, 10:25 PM ET | By Katelyn Polantz, Paula Reid, Hannah Rabinowitz

The Justice Department is bracing for a new wave of resignations in the Minnesota federal prosecutors’ office over recent immigration enforcement efforts in the state, sources familiar with the matter said.

Prosecutors threatened to resign during a recent meeting in which US Attorney Daniel Rosen had tried to convince his office to get on board with the Trump administration’s efforts in Minnesota, the sources said. His plea so far hasn’t assuaged concerns within the office that the administration is taking potentially unlawful steps.

One of the sources said that if the resignations came to fruition, they could decimate the US Attorney’s office as they are pursuing cases against immigrants and protesters, and pile onto an already thin staff after an earlier wave of resignations over how the Justice Department responded to a federal officer’s shooting of Renee Good.

The meeting and potential resignations are being watched closely by Justice Department officials in Washington, and the department has been taking steps to pull prosecutors from other Midwestern offices into Minnesota to help. The Justice Department declined to comment for this story.

Attorney General Pam Bondi was in Minnesota on Wednesday, her second trip in as many weeks. At least some of her meetings there were to boost morale at the US Attorney’s office, according to a person familiar with the visits.

Justice Department prosecutors from other states are in Minnesota to assist the office while it is understaffed, and the department could request more. Previous resignations this month included some leaders in the office beneath Rosen. The Pentagon is also sending dozens of military lawyers to Minneapolis to assist in federal prosecutions.

Also on Wednesday, the chief judge of the federal district court in Minnesota complained in a sharply worded order that he believes Homeland Security officials were violating court orders by the dozens this month in cases related to immigrants in custody.

The court and the US attorney’s office prosecutors are fielding search and arrest warrants related to protests as well as immigrant detainees’ requests for relief, leading to increased tensions between prosecutors and judges.

中国官方通报，涉及缅北明家电诈集团案的11名罪犯被执行死刑。

中国浙江省温州市中级法院星期四（1月29日）在微信公众号上作出通报。

根据通报，浙江省温州市中级法院2025年9月29日以故意杀人、故意伤害、非法拘禁、诈骗、开设赌场等罪，判处明家犯罪集团案明国平、明珍珍、周卫昌、巫鸿明、吴森龙、傅雨彬等11人死刑，并判处相应附加刑。

一审宣判后，明国平、明珍珍等被告人提出上诉，浙江省高级法院经开庭审理，于2025年11月25日裁定驳回上诉，维持原判，并依法报请最高人民法院核准。

最高法院经复核确认，2015年以来，以明国平、明珍珍等家族核心成员为首要分子的明家犯罪集团，在缅甸果敢老街及石园子、清水河等地设立多个园区，招揽、吸引巫鸿明、罗建章、蒋吉等多名“金主”入驻并提供武装庇护，实施电信网络诈骗、开设赌场等犯罪，涉诈、涉赌资金100余亿元人民币（18亿新元）。

最高法院称，明家犯罪集团还伙同巫鸿明等人的电诈犯罪集团，故意杀害、故意伤害、非法拘禁涉诈人员，造成中国公民14人死亡、多人受伤。

最高法院认为，明国平、明珍珍、周卫昌、巫鸿明、吴森龙、傅雨彬等人分别组织、领导、参加犯罪集团实施犯罪，其行为分别构成故意杀人、故意伤害、非法拘禁、诈骗、开设赌场等10余项罪名。

最高法院指出，以明国平、明珍珍等人为首要分子的明家犯罪集团和以巫鸿明等人为首要分子的电诈犯罪集团结伙实施故意杀人、故意伤害、非法拘禁致人死亡等严重暴力犯罪，其中各被告人所犯故意杀人罪、故意伤害罪，犯罪性质特别恶劣，情节、后果特别严重，罪行均极其严重，依法应予严惩。

最高法院说，第一审判决、第二审裁定认定的事实清楚，证据确实、充分，定罪准确，量刑适当。审判程序合法。据此，最高人民法院依法核准明国平、明珍珍、周卫昌、巫鸿明、吴森龙、傅雨彬等11人死刑。

浙江省温州市中级法院收到最高法院的刑事裁定书和执行死刑命令后，依法对明国平、明珍珍、周卫昌、巫鸿明、吴森龙、傅雨彬等11名罪犯宣判并执行死刑。临刑前，罪犯的近亲属进行了会见。

浙江省温州市检察院在微信公众号通报，检察院2024年12月30日审查后，对明家犯罪集团成员及关联犯罪集团成员明国平、明珍珍、明菊兰、毕会军、周卫昌、罗家良等39人，以涉嫌诈骗罪、故意杀人罪、故意伤害罪、非法拘禁罪、开设赌场罪、贩卖毒品罪、组织卖淫罪等向温州市中级法院提起公诉。
