GOOD MORNING!
TWEETS
TWEETS FROM A COMEDIAN BASED IN PORTLAND ARE GETTING NATIONAL
ATTENTION.
THAT IS AFTER HE SAYS
BORDER PATROL AGENTS
PULLED HIM OFF A
GREYHOUND BUS AND
INTERROGATED HIM.
THE THREAD FROM COMEDIAN
MOHANAD ELSHIEKY
IS GOING VIRAL.
HE WAS IN EASTERN
WASHINGTON DOING A S
AT
WASHINGTON STATE
UNIVERSITY.
HE WAS TAKING A
GREYHOUND FROM SPOKANE
BACK TO PORTLAND WHEN
BORDER PATROL AGENTS
BOARDED HIS BUS.
HE SAYS THE AGENTS ASKED
HIM TO GET OFF THE BUS.
HE TWEETED -- THEY
"INTERROGATED ME FOR
AROUND 20
MINUTES... THEN CLAIMED
MY PAPERS WERE FAKE AND
THAT I'M
ILLEGAL."
HE SAYS AFTER A LONG
DEBATE AND A THREAT TO
CALL HIS LAWYER... THE
OFFICERS EVENTUALLY LET
HIM GO ON WITH HIS TRIP.
THE LOCAL BORDER PATROL
OFFICE RELEASED A STATEMENT TO
KREM 2.
IT READS -- "WE WILL
LOOK INTO THIS MATTER
AND BE ABLE TO
COMMENT AT A LATER TIME.
HOWEVER IT IS IMPORTANT
TO REMEMBER THAT AS PER
THE LAW... ALL
IMMIGRANTS 18 YEARS OF
AGE AND OVER ARE
REQUIRED BY LAW
TO CARRY DOCUMENTS
SHOWING THEY ARE IN THE
COUNTRY
LEGALLY."
COUNTRY LEGALLY." THE OFFICER DID
ACKNOWLEDGE THAT EXACTLY
WHAT DOCUMENTS ARE
REQUIREDRYA.
ACCORDING TO THE
COMEDIAN'S TWEETS...
THAT WOULD MEAN
ASYLUM STATUS.

WE
WE HAVE
WE HAVE AN UPDATE THIS MORNING ON A STORY WE TOLD
YOU ABOUT LAST WEEK.
A WOMAN WANTED IN
CONNECTION WITH A TRIPLE
MURDER ON THE
WEST SIDE IS NOW IN
C
DEPUTIES SAY THE
34-YEAR-OLD WOMAN WAS
ARRESTED AT A
HOME JUST EAST OF PORT
ANGELES.
THIS SECOND ARREST CAME
JUST TWO DAYS AFR
50-YEAR-OLD MAN
WAS TAKEN INTO CUSTODY.
ON NEW YEAR'S DAY...
THREE BODIES WERE FOUND
AT A PORT
ANGELES HOME DURING A
WELFARE CHECK.
AUTHORITIES SAY THE
HOUSE HAD NOT BEEN ON
THEIR RADAR BEFORE
THAT.
THEY DESCRIBE IT AS A
"CRASH PAD"... WHERE
HOMELESS PEOPLE WOULD
SOMETIMES STAY.
THEY DO NOT BELIEVE THE
KILLINGS WERE RANDOM.
TWO
TWO SISTERS IN NORTH CENTRAL IDAHO ARE CHARGED WITH
TRYING TO HIRE SOMEONE
TO KILL THEIR NEIGHBOR.
AUTHORITIES SAY IT
HAPPENED WHEN THE TWO
SISTERS APPROACHED A
FUEL DELIVERY MAN.
THEY ALLEGEDLY OFFERED
HIM MONEY...
AMMUNITION... AND
FIREARMS TO KILL THEIR
NEIGHBOR.
THE DELIVERY MAN CALLED
THE AUTHORITIES. AND
THAT IS WHEN AN
UNDERCOVER DEPUTY
STEPPED INTO THE CASE
50-YEAR-OLD DEBRA
WENSMAN AND HER SISTER
DORIS ALLEGEDLY
MADE THE SAME OFFER TO
THE DEPUTY.
BOTH SISTERS ARE NOW
CHARGED WITH FELONY
SOLICITATION TO
COMMIT MURDER.

INFECTED IS UP TO 35.
THE MEASLES ARE
SPREADING IN CLARK
COUNTY.
AND THERE IS ONE
CONFIRMED CASE IN KING
COUNTY.
WASHINGTON GOVERNOR JAY
INSLEE DECLARED A STATE
OF
EMERGENCY FOR THE
OUTBREAK.
PUBLIC HEALTH STAFFERS
SAY MANY OF THE MEASLES
PATIENTS
WERE NOT VACCINATED.
GOVERNOR INSLEE SAID THE
STATE OF EMERGENCY WILL
GIVE HEALTH
DEPARTMENTS MORE ACCESS
TO STATE RESOURCES.
HE ALSO ADDS THAT THE
MEASLES VACCINE IS 97
PERCENT
EFFECTIVE AND PROVIDES
IMMUNITY FOR LIFE.
ONE HARVARD RESEARCHER
SAYS THE OUTBREAK IS A
"SERIOUS
CONCERN."

THE
THE RESEARCHER SAYS THERE IS NO NEED TO STUDY THE MEASLES.
THAT IS BECAUSE THERE IS
ALREADY VACCINE FOR IT
THAT WOULD MAKE
IT PREVENTABLE.
THE OUTBREAK HAS ALREADY

THAN 100- THOUSAND
DOLR.

WARNED THE COSO

CRAFTING SOMETHING HE

THAN 50-50."
THE PRESIDENT SAID HE
DOUBTS HE WOULD ACCEPT
ANYTHING LESS

KEN
KEN BELLINGHAM MADE THE COOKIE. AND ONE CUSTOMER DID NOT
THINK THE "BUILD THE

WAS APPROPRIATE.
HER PARENTS FLED MEXICO

VIOLENCE.
SO SHE CONSIDERED THE
COOKIE VERY OFFENSIVE.
"YOU SAY SOMETHING WITH
ENOUGH HATE YOU CHANT IT, YOU HAVE WHITE

BELLINGHAM SAYS HE DID
NOT MEAN IT TO BE A
POLITICAL ATNR

GO IS STILL UP IN THE
AIR.
MANY FURLOUGHED WORKERS

AND DURING THE
SHUTDOWN... THE I-R-S
DID CALL BACK TENS OF
THOUSANDS OF ITS
EMPLOYEES.
BUT SOME GOT PERMISSION
TO SKIP WORK BECAUSE OF
FINANCIAL HARDSHIP.
