US On High Alert Heading Into July 4 Weekend

By CBS News, July 3, 2015

As Americans celebrate the country's 239th birthday, law enforcement officers remain on high alert following an increased threat of a terror attack.

Sources tell CBS News that special Transportation Security Administration (TSA) teams are being assigned to large airline hubs and investigators are watching potential suspects.

Moments after a suspected gunshot was reported at the Washington Navy Yard, hundreds of officers from upwards of a dozen local and federal agencies descended on the area amid heightened concerns of a terror attack.

America Faces Highest Threat Level--Ever

By Rebecca Kaplan, Jun. 21, 2015, Face The Nation

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes, R-California, said the nation faces "the highest threat level we have ever faced in this country" due to the flow of foreign fighters to and from Iraq and Syria and the radicalization of young people on the Internet.

U.S. officials have been warning for months about the threat posed by people from America or Western Europe who travel to the Middle East to fight with the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) and then return to their home countries, where they may carry out attacks. Nunes said the U.S. is not aware of all the people who have made the trek or who have now come back, although FBI Director James Comey has said there are cases open in all 50 states.

Officials are increasingly looking for ways to combat radical jihadists' effectivenessin recruiting supporters through social media.

"They're very good at communicating through separate avenues where it's very difficult to track," he said. "That's why when you get a young person who is willing to get into these chat rooms, go on the Internet and get radicalized, it's something we are not only unprepared [for], we are also not used to it in this country."

​Police Officer Who Recently Gave Birth Killed In Neb. Shooting

By CBS News / Affiliate KMTV, May 21, 2015

OMAHA, Neb. -- Police in Omaha, Neb., say a shootout between officers and a convicted felon has left an officer and the suspect dead. Both died at the same hospital.

Officer Kerrie Orozco was a seven-year veteran and a new mother. Orozco was expected to begin maternity leave Thursday, with the release of her hospitalized premature infant, reports The Washington Post.

The suspect, Marcus Wheeler, is said to be a gang member and was wanted in connection with another shooting.

Omaha Police Chief Todd Schmaderer said Orozco was part of a task force serving a felony arrest warrant for Wheeler, reports CBS affiliate KMTV.

"She was a friend, a popular officer, a top-notch person. And I just can't imagine that this is even happened. But Officer Orozco is a top-notch individual and the city of Omaha owes her a debt of gratitude and her family like no other," said Schmaderer.

Iran Leader Rules Out Key Aspects Of Any Nuke Deal 

By Associated Press, May 20, 2015, CBS News

TEHRAN, Iran -- Iran's supreme leader vowed Wednesday he will not allow international inspection of Iran's military sites or access to Iranian scientists under any nuclear agreement with world powers.

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei told military commanders Wednesday that Iran will resist "coercion and excessive demands" from America and other world powers.

Negotiators from Iran and a six nation group -- the U.S., Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany -- have launched a new round of talks in Vienna focused on reaching a final deal that curbs Iran's nuclear program in return for lifting economic sanctions. The two sides reached a framework agreement in March and hope to strike a final deal by June 30.

A fact sheet on the framework accord issued by the U.S. State Department said Iran would be required to grant the U.N. nuclear agency access to any "suspicious sites."

Shades Of Eric Holder

May 05, 2015 Attorney General Loretta Lynch , CBS News 0 Comments
Loretta Lynch headed to Baltimore

By Rebecca Kaplan, May 5, 2015, CBS News  

In one of her first acts as the new attorney general, Loretta Lynch will travel to Baltimore on Tuesday.

She has not yet visited the city in the wake of the riots and protests following the death of Freddie Gray, a black man who suffered a spinal injury and later died while in police custody.

Lynch, along with the head of the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division, Vanita Gupta, will meet with city officials, members of Congress, law enforcement officials, faith and community leaders and others. They will be joined by Ronald Davis, the director of the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) and Grade Lum, the director of the Community Relations Service.

During a press conference last week, Lynch decried the violence in Baltimore and called for a "respectful conversation" there.

"It is easy to view Baltimore as a symbol of issues that we must all deal with. And of course, the difficult situation there highlights so many issues that are part of our national debate," she said. "But I'd ask that we remember that Baltimore is more than just a symbol. Baltimore is a city; it is a great city; it is a beautiful city; it is one of our cities.
