Police believe holiday deaths were accidental

Portuguese police said they were not treating the deaths of two British men at a hotel swimming pool as suspicious, as a sister claimed her brother died while "trying to save" his best friend's life. King Edonmi, 29, and Mo Liasu, 27, died less than 24 hours after arriving on holiday in Albufeira. The men, from Ipswich, are believed to have drowned on Tuesday. A spokesperson for the Policia Judiciaria, Portugal's criminal investigation police, said inquiries so far had shown "no evidence of criminal activity". Mr Edonmi's sister, Kemi, paid tribute to the pair online and dispelled local reports that the men had been drinking. In a statement, police in Portugal said: "The inspection of the scene revealed no evidence of criminal activity. "Witnesses to the events were interviewed, confirming the investigation's belief that it was an accident." The Foreign Office said it had been supporting the families involved and coordinating with Portuguese authorities. Kemi Edonmi wrote online: "My best friend is really gone. Rest in peace to my big brother and his best friend Mo, we love you and will never forget you both. "The whole family is comforted by the fact that King died in Christ. "From Jesus - For Jesus - Back to Jesus. We shall all meet again." She added that "my brother died trying to save his friend's life". Ms Edonmi criticised speculation that the men had been drinking, writing: "My brother and Mo do not drink and were not intoxicated at the time of the incident. "Articles with false information and insensitive comments don't know the pain they're causing the people closest to King and Mo." In the UK, candles, flowers and tealights spelling out the men's names have been laid near flats on Ipswich Waterfront. A fundraising page set up to help pay for the repatriation of their bodies has been closed after it passed £25,000. A joint statement from the families of both men said: "We would like to extend our deepest and most sincere thanks to every single person who donated, shared and supported us during this heart-breaking time. "Because of your incredible generosity, preparations have now been made to bring our beloved King and Mo home, so they may be laid to rest with the love, dignity and peace they so deeply deserve." Thanking people for their support, the statement continues: "The parents of King and Mo have been profoundly moved by the outpouring of love and support from the community."

She Exposed Epstein, and Shares MAGA's Anger

Julie K. Brown thinks Jeffrey Epstein didn't act alone. On this episode of 'Interesting Times,' Ross talks to Brown, the investigative reporter whose work ultimately led to Epstein's re-arrest, about what the government could release that it hasn't and how the story is bigger than Epstein. This conversation was taped before President Trump authorized the Justice Department to seek the release of grand jury testimony in Epstein's case. Below is an edited transcript of an episode of 'Interesting Times.' We recommend listening to it in its original form for the full effect. You can do so using the player above or on the NYT audio app, Apple, Spotify, Amazon Music, YouTube, iHeartRadio or wherever you get your podcasts. Ross Douthat: Julie K. Brown, welcome to 'Interesting Times.' Julie K. Brown: Thank you. Douthat: So for the last couple of weeks, ever since the Trump administration decided it was a good idea to tell the world that there was nothing more to say about the Jeffrey Epstein story, which has not been true, I feel like we've had a lot of these metaconversations about the case, conversations about Trump administration politics, MAGA infighting, theories about conspiracy theories. I just keep coming back to the man himself and all of the weird questions that, to me as a journalist and news consumer, still hang over this whole story. So I'm really hoping that together we can walk through the story — the actual story of how Jeffrey Epstein the man became Jeffrey Epstein the mythic villain of the early 21st century. I want to start in the middle for him or maybe near the end for him but at the beginning for you. How did you first get drawn into this story? What prompted you as a journalist to start looking into Jeffrey Epstein and his crimes? Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

Border Patrol morale goes through the roof, 'dramatically' changed under Trump administration

TUCSON SECTOR, ARIZONA– Under the bright sun, Border Patrol agents Daniel Hernandez and Teresa Fast glisten with sweat as they stride along the rusted fence separating the United States and Mexico. They revealed the reality of what life is like working at the border. "A few months ago, before the election and before the previous administration, we were mostly doing processing of detained individuals," Hernandez told Fox News Digital. "That's an administrative duty that is part of our job, but it used to be a small sliver of it, [and we were] doing a large portion of that. Now it's inverse." "Now we're doing small slivers of the processing, and we're doing the bulk of patrolling duties. Most of our agents are out there patrolling." "We're historically one of the busiest sectors," the homeland security agent said. "We're at [a] 91% reduction [rate] over last year's amounts, but that's because we're out here every single day." "If we were to take our foot off the gas and just assume the border's secure, then we would lose what we had gained. So every single day we have to invest in patrolling," he added. According to the White House, as of April 28 of this year, illegal border crossings "are down by 95%" when compared to numbers under the Biden administration. Previously restrained by budget cuts that impeded the completion of their duties, the border patrol agents communicated a renewed sense of faith for increasing safety for all involved. "People are less inclined to climb a fence of this magnitude," Hernandez relayed while pointing to the southern border wall. "If they do, they have to go up high, then our cameras or our agents can spot them if they go up high. So that's the advantage of having robust infrastructure on the border that buys us time to get here." "Smugglers will try anything. It's shocking that they will risk somebody's life by getting them up on a really small, handmade ladder," he continued. "[It's one] way somebody might try to defeat the border wall… and people will always try." The empathy portrayed by agents when considering the human element of deportations and illegal crossings is an echoed sentiment among Tucson sector Border Patrol chief, Sean McGoffin. "The cartels treat people as a commodity rather than as human beings. It's up to us to reintroduce that element of humanity and make sure we're saving the lives of those individuals the cartels leave behind. One of the great things we do in the Border Patrol — though it's rarely talked about — is the rescues we perform each and every day," the CBP Chief told Fox News HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP Fast added, "The men and the women of the patrol are really what makes it run. That's what keeps our country safer, the people who are giving up those games with their kids and their [holidays] and working night shifts – that's what keeps our country safe. That's really what it is, the men and the women of the border patrol."
