🔴An American family says the negligent security of a Bahamas hotel led to their 15-year-old daughter’s rape by an alleged drug dealer, new court papers say.
Henry Richard Nixon was criminally charged for allegedly raping a teenage guest of the Grand Hyatt Baha Mar in Nassau on April 4, 2021. He faces a criminal trial May 22, according to a newly filed lawsuit.
Now the girl’s father has brought a $10 million case against the hotel for allegedly failing to protect his daughter, for lack of security, and for allowing Nixon onto the property — despite his reputation as a local drug dealer, the papers say.
The victim left her hotel room barefoot early that morning to talk with a friend on the phone, the court papers say.

🔻The Biden administration is expected to lift a pandemic-related public health order this week that has restricted immigration for the past two years, a change that could more than double what is already a historic number of migrants surging into the United States from Mexico.
The change is to take effect in late May, according to people familiar with the planning and should restore the right of migrants to request asylum once they are in the United States, just as they did before the pandemic.
Even with the rule in place, the administration has struggled to manage a record spike in illegal migration along the border with Mexico, which Republicans have cast as out of control since President Biden took office.

❗️❗️🇷🇺🇺🇸Russian Ambassador to the United States Anatoly Antonov said that the US Department of State was consciously exceeding the Russian military losses in Ukraine to incite public unrest in Russia.
"The official of the State Department is consciously exceeding the losses of the Russian Armed Forces in Ukraine. These remarks have a cynic goal: to trigger public unrest in our country. This will not happen," Antonov said, as quoted by the embassy's Telegram channel.

🚨A reputed Brooklyn gangbanger who dragged an NYPD cop with a stolen car five years ago was arrested again this week — for allegedly leading cops on a high-speed chase in yet another stolen vehicle.
Repeat offender Justin Murrell was just 15 in June 2017 when he dragged then-Officer Dalsh Veve for several blocks to avoid a traffic stop in East Flatbush, leaving the cop brain-damaged and unable to speak.
Murrell’s case sparked further outrage in January 2019 when he escaped a maximum sentence of 10 years — with his soft sentence instead seeing him released on parole just 14 months later, in March 2020.
He was in court in Brooklyn on Monday for that ongoing May 2021 case when he was rearrested for an almost identical crime from February this year.
