This is Derek Miller, Speaking on Business. Before June 2024, Enbridge Gas was known as Dominion Energy, Questar Gas, or Mountain Fuel. Though the name has changed, their dedication to serving 1.2 million customers holds steady. Communications Strategic Advisor Jorgan Hofeling joins us with more. Jorgan Hofeling: Regardless of our name, our focus over the last 95 years has stayed the same – investing in the community we serve by providing affordable, reliable, safe and sustainable energy. Natural gas plays a vital yet often overlooked role in homes and businesses, providing reliable heating and cooking solutions at some of the nation's most affordable rates. It has also been a driving force behind Utah's economic growth, fueling new businesses from tech hubs like Silicon Slopes to underserved rural communities through our expansion program. Despite this growth, we remain dedicated to preserving Utah's unique natural beauty for future generations. Through sustainability initiatives like ThermWise, CarbonRight, and GreenTherm, we're helping lower emissions, conserve energy, save customers money — and protect the environment. Over 1,000 Enbridge Gas employees call Utah home, contributing expertise and countless volunteer hours. In 2024, we proudly donated over $1.6 million dollars to support local causes important to our employees and communities. Derek Miller: Energy is a vital topic, and Enbridge is helping the community thrive by investing in sustainable solutions and reliable service.

This week on Uptime News Flash, Avangrid sells the Kitty Hawk North lease area to Dominion Energy. In Saudia Arabia, the government signed two major localization agreements for wind energy steel towers. And Enerjisa Üretim has secured a major 1 billion 10 year term loan for the development of the YEKA 2 wind power plant. Welcome to Uptime News Flash. Industry news lightning fast. Your hosts, Allen Hall, Joel Saxum, and Phil Totaro discuss the latest deals, mergers, and alliances that will shape the future of wind power. News Flash is brought to you by Intelstor. For market intelligence that generates revenue, visit www.intelstor.com. Allen Hall: Well, Phil, Saudi Arabia has taken a significant step forward in its wind energy sector with the signing of two major localization agreements for wind energy steel towers. The agreements were signed by the Kingdom's Local Content and Government Procurement Authority with Al Yamama Steel Industries and Arabian International Company for Steel Structures. These deals are part of a large initiative that saw 107 agreements and memorandums of understanding signed during the Energy Localization Forum in Riyadh, valued at approximately 27 billion. I didn't realize there was that much money in steel towers, Phil, but wow. These agreements are impressive. Philip Totaro: Yeah, that that's for all agreements that they sign, not just the steel tower ones to, to clarify for everybody. But the, the interesting tidbit with this is the fact that, they obviously have a couple of, wind farms now in Saudi Arabia, one that's operational, one under construction, as well as a demo turbine from GE from, from a few years back. And they're, they're at a point where they're really looking at the future of renewable energy for themselves in, in their domestic market so that they can, have more control over, how much oil they export and, and where they export it to moving forward. So this gives them another knob to turn if they can use this renewable power for the power generation. Industry instead of leveraging their own oil abundant though it may be, they all recognize that there's a finite amount. So this is part of their efforts at domestication of part of the industry that they see as, as being an important element for them moving forward. So much so that their public investment fund has, has, Also made moves in the past to, put money behind renewable ventures in in Europe and Asia and even looking at the United States as well. So, this is them taking a step forward in terms of their renewable energy market. Joel Saxum: Yeah, Saudi Arabia keeps on basically reinventing itself and, and morphing into something that it wasn't in the past, which is very interesting. I, for one, I follow the, the Neom project very closely because it's really interesting to me. So they're spending a lot of money. I mean, they even went as far as to lure a lot of the PGA players away for their own golf league. And now they're setting up with Dana White from the UFC, they're setting up their own boxing league. So they're doing a lot of things. They're taking advantage of, of course, the money they have now to try and build what their economy is for the future. And, they have been a classically oil and gas economy. And, and that's where a lot of their sovereign wealth comes from. So they have the capabilities to make large structures and invest in, in, in industry. So going to steel towers for wind makes absolute sense for them. Allen Hall: Avangrid has successfully closed the sale of its Kitty Hawk North offshore wind lease area to Dominion Energy. The transaction was completed for 160 million dollars, comprising a lease acquisition payment of 117 million plus development cost reimbursement. While selling the northern section, Avangrade retains ownership of Kitty Hawk South, which has the potential to deliver 2. 4 gigawatts of power to North Carolina, Virginia,

In Nigeria, tens of millions of people live without access to reliable power. Utibe Bassey grew up in Lagos, and knows what it's like to not have electricity to perform simple daily tasks. When she moved to the United States as a teen, she didn't think much about electric utilities. But she did think about how managers treat employees – a thought spurred by an unfortunate instance she witnessed while working at a fast food chain. Ever since then, Utibe has refined her personal philosophy, “Love as a KPI,” which prioritizes kindness and human connection in the workplace. In this episode of With Great Power, Utibe tells Brad about how she puts her personal philosophy to work at Dominion Energy, where she is vice president of customer experience. She also talks about what it means to work in the power industry, having lived without access to reliable power in her youth. This podcast is produced by GridX in partnership with Latitude Studios.

Hosts: Greg Skordas & Leah Murray Gov. Cox endorses, will now vote for former President TrumpIn an about-face, Utah Governor Spencer Cox says he’ll now vote for and support former President Donald Trump. Just 9 days ago, Cox had recommitted to not voting for Trump. So what changed? In a letter written to Trump the day after the assassination attempt, Cox instructs the former president on how to better unify the country. Is the governor’s instruction in his letter part of his “Disagree Better” initiative? KSL at Night hosts Greg Skordas and Leah Murray delve into this latest development. Examining the Republican Party following their national conventionWith Governor Cox’s endorsement in mind, we take a look at Donald Trump’s speech and the Republican National Convention as a whole. Adam Gardiner, KSL at Night host and President of ASG Consulting has been attending the Convention, sharing updates all week long. He joins us one more time to discuss the conservatives who may have considered themselves “politically homeless” and whether they have a home again following the Convention. Preparations already underway for the 2028 presidential electionWe haven’t even had the 2024 general election, but prospective presidential candidates are already looking towards 2028. People like Ron DeSantis, Vivek Ramaswamy, and Wesley Hunt are already looking to Iowa, trying to court delegates for a potential race. Would vice presidential candidate JD Vance also throw his hat in the ring? The KSL at Night hosts discuss 2028 possibilities and also talk about why we’re talking about this right now. The rumors continue to swirl around Biden’s political futureThe rumors about whether or not Biden will continue in the presidential race continue today. Will he drop out today? Will he drop out on Sunday? Will he continue? His campaign says he’ll be back on the campaign trail next week, once he’s recovered from COVID. Still, the calls from Democrats for Biden to step aside continue to grow. We discuss Biden and the Democratic Party’s paths going forward. Discussing the execution process here in UtahThe State of Utah is preparing to conduct its first death row execution in 14 years. The process has come under fire for a few things, including the drug concoction and the secrecy regarding the protocols. Hosts Leah Murray and Greg Skordas discuss the process and transparency — of lack thereof — of Utah’s execution protocols. The Lyman campaign continues to face access restriction to signaturesPhil Lyman, former GOP candidate for Utah Governor, was dealt another blow as his campaign continues to request access to candidate signatures. The state records committee decided to not allow the release of 30-60 signatures for a different campaign, saying it was because of a lawsuit in Washington County. One member of the committee said it was in the public’s interest to see the signatures. The KSL at Night hosts talk about transparency versus privacy.

News Flash is brought to you by our friends at IntelStor. If you want market intelligence that generates revenue, then book a demonstration of IntelStor at intelstor.Com. Avangrid, a subsidiary of Iberdrola, has announced the sale of its Kitty Hawk North offshore wind lease area to Dominion Energy for approximately 160 million. The deal includes a nearly 40, 000 acre lease and associated assets with Dominion Energy paying 117 million for the lease acquisition and reimbursing Avangrid for development costs. Avangrid is retaining ownership of Kitty Hawk South Lease, which it plans to continue developing. All right, Phil. There seems to be a lot of swapping of of repurchased ocean land. Off the coast of the United States here, what is going on? Why is Avangrid selling one site and keeping another? What's happening? Philip Totaro: Well, I simply put, this sounds like they, have a bigger slice of cake than they can maybe eat by themselves so to speak. So they just want to be able to, this is one way that they can kind of divide up the site. a chunk of it without having to bring in an equity partner on the full project site, which is actually pretty clever, right? So I have to give them credit for that. Keep in mind as well that, of the projects in the US that have now been officially consented, Avangrid's got something like 20 something percent of them. So, this is, uh, it's getting expensive. And Iberdrola wants to be able to, control their costs. This is also one way of doing that, too. Joel Saxum: Another thing to think about here with Dominion Energy, if you've been following the offshore wind plays along the east coast here for the last year, two, three, four years, as we have here on the podcast, Dominion Energy is one of the groups that has actually been able to go through with their leases. Development costs, getting vessels ready, getting some turbines getting ready for development, getting ready for offshore without really too many hiccups. So the money's there, the PPAs are right, everything is moving forward for Dominion. So they're doing things without too many issues and that may point to this as well. Allen Hall: South Korea based LS Greenlink is investing 681 million to build a state of the art facility in Chesapeake, Virginia. This facility will manufacture high voltage subsea cables for offshore wind farms and is set to create more than 330 full time jobs. It's a significant step for the U.

This distracted driving case marks the first time Amazon has tested with a jury the issue of whether the online retail and global logistics giant will be held responsible for injuries caused by one of its 285,000 Amazon Delivery Associates (drivers) it calls independent contractors.  Yarborough Applegate attorneys David Yarborough, Alexandra Heaton, and William Applegate, working alongside Nick Clekis of the Clekis Law Firm in Charleston, represented a motorcyclist who sustained a traumatic brain injury and numerous orthopedic injuries in September 2021 when an Amazon Delivery Associate failed to yield to the right of way and turned left directly into his path. We filed suit against the driver, the local delivery company MJV Logistics, and Amazon, Amazon Services, and Amazon Logistics Inc. Source.   Guest Bios: David Yarborough David has a history of achieving record-breaking jury verdicts and settlements for his clients. In December 2023, David and partners obtained a $44.6 million jury verdict against Amazon.com, Inc. in the first case to hold Amazon vicariously liable under an agency theory for the vicarious and negligent acts of its delivery drivers, whom Amazon claims are independent contractors. This was the largest personal injury verdict ever awarded in conservative Dorchester County and is believed to be one of the largest jury verdicts in South Carolina history in an injury case not involving death. Read more about this case here. In October 2021, David achieved the largest dram shop verdict ever in Charleston County, South Carolina, for the sale of alcohol to minors by a Sunoco gas station. David and the firm also achieved one of the top 100 jury verdicts in the United States from their $35.9 million verdict against PEPCO in conservative Montgomery County, Maryland. David has collected jury verdicts and settlements totaling hundreds of millions of dollars for his catastrophically injured clients in cases involving bad faith against insurance companies; industrial plant injuries resulting in worker deaths; product liability from automobile rollovers and industrial machine injuries; toxic chemical spills by railroad companies; pool drownings; trucking and auto accidents; nursing home and daycare negligence; dram shop and alcohol liability negligence by bars and restaurants; and negligence by retail stores, energy companies, apartment complexes, hotels, and construction contractors for job-site, balcony collapse and premises injuries. He is a member of the Charleston Chapter of the American Board of Trial Advocates (ABOTA), the South Carolina Association of Justice, the American Association for Justice, the Charleston County Bar's Mental Wellness Committee, Lawyers Helping Lawyers, and the Board of Regents of TriCounty Family Ministries. For the past twenty-five years, David has been heavily involved in mentoring and counseling people suffering from alcoholism and addiction who are seeking recovery. He places a large emphasis on giving back to the local community through free legal work and generous financial and service contributions to local charities each year. He and his wife, Jessica, are Charleston natives and have four children. Prior to founding Yarborough Applegate, David was a partner at another Charleston-based law firm, where he was part of a national trial team defending products liability cases in trials across the United States. His experience handling national litigation and having represented both plaintiffs and defendants in state and federal courts around the country provides him with a varied perspective in discovery strategy, negotiations, and trial. Read Full Bio   William Applegate With nearly twenty years of experience in the courtroom, William is a seasoned trial lawyer with a track record of success. He has successfully litigated complex cases involving toxic torts, electrocutions, police negligence, medical negligence, and premises liability, representing clients suffering from the most severe catastrophic injuries. Beyond having had numerous trial victories, he has also achieved two record-breaking verdicts, been recognized by his peers as one of the top litigators in the state, won numerous awards as a leader in the law, and has been consistently given Martindale-Hubbell's highest ranking as an AV lawyer. Beyond his experience and hard work, he is a passionate advocate for his clients, who are defined by determination and perseverance. William understands that his clients, many of whom find themselves in desperate situations following serious trauma, such as the death of a loved one or experiencing life-altering injuries, are relying on him, and he takes this responsibility personally. In 2014, William and his team represented 28-year-old paralyzed construction worker Hugo Hernandez against PEPCO (Potomac Energy and Power Company). After a two-week trial against PEPCO in Montgomery County, Maryland, the jury awarded Mr. Hernandez $35.9 million in damages in compensation for the overwhelming cost of Mr. Hernandez's future medical care as a young, C4 paraplegic as well as for his pain and suffering and loss of income. This was the largest verdict in Montgomery County history and was one of the largest verdicts in American history for an undocumented worker. In 2019, William represented an undocumented worker who was killed when electrocuted by a power line that was hidden by vegetation, which Dominion Energy had failed to maintain, and a jury returned a $21 million dollar verdict, the largest verdict in the history of Colleton County, SC. In 2021, William represented a Claflin College student who suffered a traumatic brain injury as a result of a car crash caused by a road construction defect. After a two-week trial, the jury returned a $13.1 million dollar verdict against the road contractor Archer Western and the Department of Transportation, also awarding punitive damages against Archer Western. In all three of these cases, William refused offers of millions of dollars to ensure his clients were fully compensated by a jury. William was born in Charleston, SC, and with the exception of studying abroad to become fluent in Spanish, he has remained in SC his entire life. He is a graduate of the College of Charleston and the University of South Carolina School of Law. As a law student, he received the Public Interest Law Society Grant to work in Washington, D.C., served as vice-president of the Pro Bono Board, and was a student member of the John Belton O'Neal Inn of Court. Following law school, he served as law clerk to the Honorable James R. Barber, III, of the Fifth Judicial Circuit of the State of South Carolina before starting in private practice with Motley Rice, one of the largest plaintiff's firms in the country. William has a deep commitment to South Carolina and is very involved in his community in Charleston. He serves on the board of the Historic Charleston Foundation and actively supports numerous charitable organizations, including One80 Place, in their fight against homelessness, Communities in Schools, the Coastal Conservation League, and the Southern Environmental Law Center.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (03/19/2024): 3:05pm- On Tuesday, the Supreme Court decided to temporarily permit Texas's Senate Bill 4 to take effect. The bill makes it a crime for migrants to illegally enter the United States—allowing for Texas officials to arrest and/or deport anyone who recently entered the state unlawfully. Adam Liptak of The New York Times writes: “The Supreme Court temporarily sided with Texas on Tuesday in its increasingly bitter fight with the Biden administration over immigration policy, allowing an expansive state law to go into effect that makes it a crime for migrants to enter Texas without authorization. As is typical when the court acts on emergency applications, its order gave no reasons. But Justice Amy Coney Barrett, joined by Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh, filed a concurring opinion that seemed to express the majority's bottom line. They were returning the case to an appeals court for a prompt ruling on whether the law should be paused while an appeal moves forward, Justice Barrett wrote. ‘If a decision does not issue soon,' she wrote, ‘the applicants may return to this court.' The three liberal members of the court—Justices Ketanji Brown Jackson, Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor—dissented.” You can read the full article here: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/19/us/supreme-court-texas-immigration.html 3:30pm- What is Texas State Bill 4? Maria Mendez of The Texas Tribune writes that the “law would make it a state crime to cross the Texas-Mexico border between ports of entry. If a police officer has probable cause to believe a person illegally crossed the Rio Grande, that person could be charged with a Class B misdemeanor, which carries a punishment of up to six months in jail. For subsequent offenses, the person could be charged with a second-degree felony and face up to 20 years in prison. If the migrant is convicted and has served their sentence, a judge would be required to order police to transport them to a port of entry. A judge could drop the charges if a migrant agrees to return to Mexico, and police could turn over migrant families to Border Patrol agents to avoid separating children from their parents instead of arresting them.” You can read Menendez's full report here: https://www.texastribune.org/2024/03/18/texas-sb-4-immigration-arrest-law/ 3:40pm- Craig Rucker—President of The Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow (CFACT)—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss a lawsuit his organization, alongside The Heartland Institute, recently filed against the Biden Administration “seeking to overturn their approval of Dominion Energy's plans to start construction of a massive offshore wind project off Virginia that ignores the obvious harm of the endangered North Atlantic right whale. The project consists of the 176 giant wind turbines—each tower taller than the Washington Monument, with turbine blades longer than a football field—to be constructed in the open ocean 25 miles off the coast of Virginia Beach. If completed, the project would be the largest of its kind in the world. This Dominion Energy project is one of many offshore wind projects mandated by an executive order issued by President Biden, declaring that a ‘climate crisis' exists that ‘threatens mankind's existence.'” You can read The Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow's (CFACT) full statement here: https://www.cfact.org/2024/03/18/coalition-sues-to-block-virginia-offshore-wind-project-to-protect-the-right-whale/ 4:05pm- While speaking at a campaign event in Ohio over the weekend, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump predicted that there would be an economic “bloodbath” for the automotive manufacturing industry if he didn't win the 2024 presidential election in November. Democrats and dishonest members of the media took the statement out of context—instead suggesting that Trump had openly called for a “bloodbath”, or a massacre, should he lose. A selectively trimmed nine-second clip was reposted by numerous social media accounts belonging to members of the political left, including: Biden-Harris HQ and Joe Scarborough (who quickly deleted his post). The strategically edited audio inaccurately makes it appear as though Trump is calling for violence. On Monday, morning shows on ABC, CBS, and NBC all promoted the fake narrative as well. 4:10pm- While appearing on Fox News with Jesse Watters, independent journalist Michael Shellenberger warned that progressives, as well as members of the media, have focused on Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump's “bloodbath” comments as an excuse to censor Trump and his supporters—labeling them collectively as a “violent threat to democracy.” 4:25pm- In a new “opinion video” for The New York Times, journalists Adam Westbrook and Lindsay Crouse attempted to debunk the idea that the deep state is a threat to American civil liberties—and they did so by traveling to Huntsville, Alabama? You can watch the video here: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/19/opinion/trump-deep-state.html 4:40pm- In response to The New York Times's new “opinion video” attempting to debunk the existence of a deep state, billionaire Elon Musk accused the publication of being a “mouthpiece of the state.” 4:50pm- Thomas Catenacci of Fox News writes: “The State of Texas is terminating a massive $8.5 billion investment with trillion-dollar asset manager BlackRock over the state's determination that the firm is engaged in a boycott of energy companies.” You can read the full article here: https://www.foxbusiness.com/politics/texas-pulls-8-5-billion-blackrock-stunning-blow-esg-movement 5:05pm- While appearing on the Texas Lindsay podcast, Elon Musk—the owner of the social media platform X—revealed that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) used a special portal when communicating with officials at X (then-Twitter) which would “auto-delete” the conversations after two-weeks. Musk noted that this was likely a violation of the Freedom of Information Act. 5:15pm- Did The New York Times just admit that Republicans were right about COVID-19 lockdowns? The Daily Wire News writes: “An analysis piece from The New York Times this week admitted that Republicans by and large were correct—and Democrats were wrong—about policies that kept children out of school during the coronavirus pandemic. The report said that today there is ‘broad acknowledgment among many public health and education experts that extended school closures did not significantly stop the spread of Covid, while the academic harms for children have been large and long-lasting.'” You can read more here: https://www.dailywire.com/news/new-york-times-republicans-were-right-about-pandemic-school-policy-democrats-were-wrong 5:20pm- In a new “opinion video” for The New York Times, journalists Adam Westbrook and Lindsay Crouse attempted to debunk the idea that the deep state is a threat to American civil liberties—and they did so by traveling to Huntsville, Alabama? Plus, they interview a federal employee who removes lead from water and enjoys making salads in her spare time! You can watch the video here: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/19/opinion/trump-deep-state.html 5:40pm- Ben Schreckinger of Politico reports: “Prosecutors said a business associate of Jim Biden conspired to defraud Medicare alongside an alleged leader of the Colombo crime family in a brief filed Friday in federal court in New Jersey. The government's accusation is likely to intensify scrutiny of the ties between President Joe Biden's brother and the associate, Mississippi businessman Keaton Langston. The Justice Department named Langston as a co-conspirator in the ongoing fraud case just three weeks after congressional investigators grilled Jim Biden about his relationship with the Mississippi businessman. In the course of a previous prosecution, the Justice Department identified a defendant in the fraud case, Florida businessman Thomas Farese, as a high-ranking member of the Colombo crime family, according to court filings.” You can read the full report here: https://www.politico.com/news/2024/03/18/doj-jim-biden-associate-mafia-boss-00147626 5:50pm- While answering questions from the press aboard Air Force One, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean Pierre confirmed that President Joe Biden and former President Barack Obama speak with one another often. 6:05pm- Zack Smith—Legal Fellow and Manager of the Supreme Court and Appellate Advocacy Program in the Edwin Meese III Center for Legal and Judicial Studies at The Heritage Foundation—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss the U.S. Supreme Court's decision to temporarily permit Texas's Senate Bill 4 to take effect. The bill makes it a crime for migrants to illegally enter the United States and allows for Texas officials to arrest and/or deport anyone who recently entered the state unlawfully. 6:15pm- On Monday “The Don Lemon Show” released its first episode—which included a long-form interview with billionaire Elon Musk. During the conversation, Lemon accused Musk of inaccurately claiming undocumented migrants can alter election outcomes. Musk then explained that undocumented migrants are counted in the census which can result in blue states receiving greater representation in the House of Representatives. 6:30pm- On Tuesday, the House Foreign Affairs Committee held a hearing on the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan. Former U.S. Central Command Commander General Kenneth McKenzie and former Joint Chiefs of Staff Chair General Mark Milley both testified that there was a severe lack of coordination. Gen. Milley conceded: “I'll be candid. I don't know the exact number of Americans that were left behind” in Afghanistan. 6:50pm- In a recent interview Leslye Headland, writer/producer of the upcoming series “Star Wars: The Acolyte,” explained that one of her goals for the Star Wars franchise is to make it more inclusive. Last year Disney announced a new director for its Star Wars film franchise—Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy. Obaid-Chinoy has won two Academy Awards for short-films examining injustice in Pakistan, but does that make her the ideal selection for a sci-fi franchise? Obaid-Chinoy said that her goal as a filmmaker has been to “make men uncomfortable,” but aren't most Star Wars fans just looking for an enjoyable two-hour movie? Is Disney destroying the Star Wars franchise?

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 1: On Tuesday, the Supreme Court decided to temporarily permit Texas's Senate Bill 4 to take effect. The bill makes it a crime for migrants to illegally enter the United States—allowing for Texas officials to arrest and/or deport anyone who recently entered the state unlawfully. Adam Liptak of The New York Times writes: “The Supreme Court temporarily sided with Texas on Tuesday in its increasingly bitter fight with the Biden administration over immigration policy, allowing an expansive state law to go into effect that makes it a crime for migrants to enter Texas without authorization. As is typical when the court acts on emergency applications, its order gave no reasons. But Justice Amy Coney Barrett, joined by Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh, filed a concurring opinion that seemed to express the majority's bottom line. They were returning the case to an appeals court for a prompt ruling on whether the law should be paused while an appeal moves forward, Justice Barrett wrote. ‘If a decision does not issue soon,' she wrote, ‘the applicants may return to this court.' The three liberal members of the court—Justices Ketanji Brown Jackson, Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor—dissented.” You can read the full article here: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/19/us/supreme-court-texas-immigration.html What is Texas State Bill 4? Maria Mendez of The Texas Tribune writes that the “law would make it a state crime to cross the Texas-Mexico border between ports of entry. If a police officer has probable cause to believe a person illegally crossed the Rio Grande, that person could be charged with a Class B misdemeanor, which carries a punishment of up to six months in jail. For subsequent offenses, the person could be charged with a second-degree felony and face up to 20 years in prison. If the migrant is convicted and has served their sentence, a judge would be required to order police to transport them to a port of entry. A judge could drop the charges if a migrant agrees to return to Mexico, and police could turn over migrant families to Border Patrol agents to avoid separating children from their parents instead of arresting them.” You can read Menendez's full report here: https://www.texastribune.org/2024/03/18/texas-sb-4-immigration-arrest-law/ Craig Rucker—President of The Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow (CFACT)—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss a lawsuit his organization, alongside The Heartland Institute, recently filed against the Biden Administration “seeking to overturn their approval of Dominion Energy's plans to start construction of a massive offshore wind project off Virginia that ignores the obvious harm of the endangered North Atlantic right whale. The project consists of the 176 giant wind turbines—each tower taller than the Washington Monument, with turbine blades longer than a football field—to be constructed in the open ocean 25 miles off the coast of Virginia Beach. If completed, the project would be the largest of its kind in the world. This Dominion Energy project is one of many offshore wind projects mandated by an executive order issued by President Biden, declaring that a ‘climate crisis' exists that ‘threatens mankind's existence.'” You can read The Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow's (CFACT) full statement here: https://www.cfact.org/2024/03/18/coalition-sues-to-block-virginia-offshore-wind-project-to-protect-the-right-whale/
