SUMMARY: In 2018, 18-year-old Julia Wells was killed after being lured into a prostitution trap and pushed from a moving car. This week, three people were arrested in connection to her murder and a separate human trafficking case, bringing relief to Julia's mother, Mary Wells. Julia, who had autism, was trusting and lived with her boyfriend. The car involved was registered to a known human trafficker. A new Texas law, House Bill 985, also known as the Julia Wells Act, now requires driver education to include human trafficking prevention. Mary Wells aims to turn her family's tragedy into a blessing for others.

Julia Wells was killed when prosecutors say she was lured into a prostitution trap and then pushed from a moving car on the Dallas North Tollway. Her death led to a new Texas law.

Biden says Supreme Court ruling on immunity means ‘no limits’ on presidential actions

Published

www.youtube.com – FOX 4 Dallas-Fort Worth – 2024-07-01 21:22:31

SUMMARY: President Biden criticized the Supreme Court's 6-3 ruling granting former President Trump and other presidents broad immunity from prosecution for official acts while in office. Biden argued that the decision dangerously removes legal constraints on presidential power. The Court's ruling provides no immunity for unofficial acts, but Federal prosecutors now must distinguish between official and unofficial conduct. Trump, who faces prosecution for attempts to overturn the 2020 election and his role in the January 6th insurrection, called the decision a victory for democracy. The Court's liberal justices dissented, warning it creates a law-free zone around the president, potentially impacting other ongoing cases against Trump.

Biden condemned the ruling, stating that the Supreme Court's decision on immunity means “there are virtually no limits” on a president's actions.
