Texas police hunt convict 'mistakenly' freed from jail
HOUSTON — Police in Texas are searching for a man they say was "mistakenly" released from jail as he was set to begin a seven-year sentence.Tory Dugas, 36, had been sentenced to five years in state prison for assaulting a family member and two years for evading arrest, Harris County Sheriff's Office said.Instead, Dugas, who had been in Harris County jail since Thursday on other charges that were dismissed, was released at 04:30 local time on Sunday.A "thorough investigation" is under way to determine the reason for his "erroneous release" from jail, the sheriff's office said.It appears that jail staff did not "properly document his state prison sentence in his file", the office said in a statement. It led to the assumption that Dugas was...

'Game of chess' to keep gangsters apart in Scottish jail as attacks rise
GLASGOW — The jailing of hundreds of Scottish gangsters has left prison staff playing what has been described as "a daily game of chess" as they try to keep violent rivals apart.The Scottish Prison Service says more inmates are being held in segregation than ever before, amid a rise in attacks linked to serious organised crime groups (SOCGs).The service's chief executive says the recent gangland feud in central Scotland has raised the temperature behind bars, and that staff are carrying out "a heroic task" in overcrowded jails.The Prison Officers' Association says many of its members have been left fearing for their safety because of threats and intimidation from gang-affiliated criminals.Justice Secretary Angela Constance said the Scottish government was...

Hong Kong summons UK, Australia envoys after activists granted asylum

WASHINGTON — The State Department has revoked more than 6,000 international student visas because of violations of US law and overstays.The agency said the "vast majority" of the violations were assault, driving under the influence (DUI), burglary and "support for terrorism".The move comes as the Trump administration continues its crackdown on immigration and international students.While the State Department did not specify what they meant by "support for terrorism", the Trump administration has targeted some students who have protested in support of Palestine, arguing they had expressed antisemitic behaviour.Of the 6,000 student visas that were revoked, the State Department said about 4,000 of those were revoked because visitors broke the law.Another...
