Man Charged With Setting Spokane Wildfire Went To Prison For Killing His Father

SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) — A man who went to prison for manslaughter in his father’s 2010 killing in Arizona has been charged with intentionally setting the largest of the wildfires wreaking havoc on Washington state’s second-largest city. The Spokane County Sheriff’s Office says 37-year-old Aaron F. Farinacci, of Spokane, was arrested Monday and booked on suspicion of first-degree arson in connection with the Old Trails Fire. It is the biggest of the three blazes that have destroyed at least 700 buildings and forced about 67,000 people from their homes in and around Spokane. None of them have been contained at all. Farinacci's bond was set at $1 million and he's due to appear in court later Tuesday.

Federal Judge Blocks New York Law on Federal Agent Face Coverings

A federal judge has blocked New York from enforcing a law that would prohibit most federal agents from wearing face coverings or require them to display visible identification while carrying out their duties. U.S. District Judge Mae D'Agostino ruled the federal government is likely to succeed in its argument that the law violates the Constitution's Supremacy Clause, which prevents states from regulating federal law enforcement activities. The law, signed by Gov. Kathy Hochul earlier this year, was intended to increase transparency among federal officers operating in New York. State officials say they are reviewing their legal options following the ruling.

Senators John Cornyn and Thom Tillis had demanded written confirmation that the so-called "Anti-Weaponization Fund" would not move forward.

25 States Sue Trump Administration Over New Tariffs
