BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota agencies have submitted proposals on how to spend $1 billion of federal coronavirus aid the state has received. Republican Gov. Doug Burgum asked the agencies for the proposals as a way to set priorities for the money. The proposals show a wish list totaling nearly $5 billion. North Dakota’s 11 public colleges and universities have $917 million in requests. The Commerce Department, which oversees tourism and economic development, has the biggest request for money at $922 million. Officials say they are still awaiting federal guidance on how the money may be spent. The Legislature, which controls spending on state government, will eventually decide where the money goes.

 

MANITOWOC, Wis. (AP) — A Wisconsin teenager has been sentenced to 20 years in prison in the death of a 7-year-old relative who was beaten, forced to carry a 44-pound log and buried in the snow before he died. Seventeen-year-old Damian Hauschultz pleaded guilty in June to first-degree reckless homicide in the April 2018 death of Ethan Hauschultz. According to the criminal complaint, Damian’s father, Timothy Hauschultz, ordered the young boy be punished for not knowing 13 Bible verses, and he told Damian, who was 14 at the time, to carry it out. The father faces trial in December. His wife is serving five years.

 

In world and national news…

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden has signed an executive order directing the FBI to declassify documents related to the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. The order Friday is a supportive gesture to victims’ families who have long sought the records in hopes of implicating the Saudi government. Still, the practical impact of the executive order and any new documents it might yield was not immediately clear. Past investigations have outlined ties between Saudi nationals and some of the airplane hijackers, but have not established that the government was directly involved.

 

WASHINGTON (AP) — The secretary of homeland security says tens of thousands of Afghans have been admitted into the United States since the fall of Kabul and more are expected as part of an “unprecedented” evacuation. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas told reporters Friday that the U.S. expects to admit more than 50,000 Afghans. But he suggested the total could be higher because of the “enduring” U.S. commitment to resettle people who helped the American war effort or are particularly vulnerable to Taliban rule. Mayorkas said about 40,000 people have arrived in the U.S. from the airlift. About 20% are U.S. citizens or permanent residents.

 

WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. officials are looking into reports that in the frantic evacuation of desperate Afghans from Kabul, older men were admitted together with young girls they claimed as “brides” or otherwise sexually abused. U.S. officials at intake centers in the United Arab Emirates and in Wisconsin have identified numerous incidents in which Afghan girls have been presented to authorities as the “wives” of much older men. One internal document described to The Associated Press by officials familiar with it says Afghan girls have alleged they have been raped by older men they were forced to marry in order to escape Afghanistan.

 

BERKELEY, Calif. (AP) — Apple is indefinitely delaying its plans to scan iPhones in the U.S. for images of child sexual abuse. The move followed outcry from security and privacy experts who warned the technology could eventually be exploited for other surveillance purposes by hackers and intrusive governments. The postponement announced Friday comes a month after the company revealed it was getting ready to roll out a tool to detect known images of child sexual abuse, which would work by scanning files before they’re uploaded to its iCloud back-up storage system. It had also planned to introduce a separate tool to scan users’ encrypted messages for sexually explicit content.

 

DEDHAM, Mass. (AP) — An activist says former U.S. Cardinal Theodore McCarrick’s court appearance in a sex abuse case marks a new phase in the global struggle to hold clerics accountable. Anne Barrett Doyle is co-founder of BishopAccountability.org and said Thursday that it would have been unimaginable 20 years ago to see “a powerful cardinal forced to answer to child sexual abuse charges in a suburban courtroom.” The 91-year-old McCarrick pleaded not guilty outside Boston to sexually assaulting a 16-year-old boy nearly 50 years ago. He has been defrocked and is the only current or former U.S. Catholic cardinal to be charged with child sex crimes.
