Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is your twenty four to seven use update. The
latest use this hour in just four minutes. The Trump
administration is at odds with Democrats over the case of
a Maryland man wrongly deported to L. Salvador. The DOJ
originally admitted Kilmar Obrago Garcia was mistakenly sent to L. Salvador,
(00:22):
but has since claimed he's an MS thirteen gang member
and abused his wife. Democratic Maryland Senator Chris van Holland
visited with him Thursday. Van Holland described what Garcia experienced
in the maximum security prisons. He was traumatized by being
at Seacott and fearful of many of the prisoners in
(00:43):
other cell blocks and taunted him. An appeals court is
temporarily halting a judge's contempt proceedings against the Trump administration
over last month's deportation flights to L. Salvador. Earlier this week,
US District Judge James Bosberg found prop will cause for contempt,
calling the government's refusal to halt those deportation flights a
(01:05):
wilful disregard of the court's orders. Arizona Congressman Andy Biggs
is announcing the tragic passing of his daughter. Biggs announced
his adult daughter, Cosette, died this week after a battle
with cancer. In a statement, he said their family is

federal sex trafficking trial will go on as scheduled. Kristin
(02:11):
Marx reports.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
A federal judge decided Friday that the disgraced hip Hop
Moguls trial will start as planned on May fifth. Ditty's
lawyers had argued that they should have another sixty days
to prepare their defense arguments. This after the indictment against
Ditty was expanded for the third time to include new
charges of sex trafficking and engaging in prostitution, but the
(02:33):
judge ruled that the new charges weren't significant enough to
warrant a two month delay.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Kristin Marx reporting some twenty five thousand packages of baby

Jersey is using Discord, a social media platform that cater's
to children. Natalie Migliori has more.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
Attorney General Matthew Platkin says Discord exposes New Jersey's children
to predators and violent sexual content, with his office investigating
the online messaging platform for years.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
It's especially horrifying and sickening given that Discord users in
New Jersey exchange billions of direct messages on the app
every year.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
Even though the platform claims its safe direct messaging feature
creates a safe place for teens and has a zero
tolerance policy. Platkin says his office has dealt with several
cases that involved predators contacting children to engage in sexually
explicit interactions. Blatkin says is one of the most consequential
cases brought against the tech industry.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
