A shooting in a Minnesota park has spurred Republican legislators to call for a crackdown on Somali gang activity.

Crime Watch Minneapolis said that about 50 Somali youth were at Yancey Park in Edina when shots were fired on Wednesday night, according to Alpha News.

Residents reported hearing more than 20 gunshots. No one has been arrested. No injuries were reported.

Republican Rep. Tom Emmer of Minnesota said this latest incident is proof action is needed.

“I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, if you won’t assimilate, then get the hell out of here,” Emmer said.

MacK..

Jeff Bezos' ex-wife MacKenzie Scott and the American billionaire philanthropist has donated $20 million to Active Minds, a US nonprofit that works with young people to change the culture around mental health. 

The donation is the largest in the organization's history and comes as Scott continues her large-scale charitable giving after selling a significant portion of her Amazon shares over the years.

 As stated in the Fortune report, the latest gift is unrestricted, allowing the nonprofit to decide how the money should be used to expand mental health programes, support young leaders and respond to community needs.

Fortune reported that Mackenzie Scott's $20 million donation is the biggest ever received by Active Minds. The organisation focuses on mobilising youth and young adults to promote mental health awareness and reduce stigma around mental illness. Unlike many large donations, Scott placed no restrictions on how the money should be spent.

MacKenzie Scott's investment in Active Minds is transformative not just in its scale, but in its validation of young people as the primary drivers of change in mental health," Active Minds founder and executive director Alison Malmon told Fortune.

She added, "Unrestricted support provides us with the flexibility to use resources where the need and opportunity are greatest, while simultaneously building our long-term capacity to meet this pivotal moment."

TD..

 

Two former TD Bank employees from New York received prison sentences this week for their roles in separate financial crimes that moved millions of dollars through the institution and defrauded customers, U.S. Attorney Robert Frazer announced Thursday.

Wilfredo Aquino, 47, of Manhattan, was sentenced to 46 months in prison for helping a money laundering network move hundreds of millions of dollars through TD Bank accounts. 

Edward Low, 31, of Flushing, received a 24-month sentence for conspiring to commit wire fraud and making false bank entries while working at TD Bank and another financial institution.

Aquino exploited his position as a TD Bank assistant store manager from 2019 to February 2021 to facilitate money laundering operations led by Da Ying Sze, also known as David, investigators said. During that period, the network moved approximately $474 million through TD Bank accounts by depositing cash at locations in New York, New Jersey and elsewhere.

The former assistant manager processed approximately 1,680 official bank checks for the network, totaling more than $92 million, federal prosecutors said. Nearly all of these checks were funded with cash deposits exceeding $10,000, which legally required TD Bank to file currency transaction reports.
