CBC News: In Truro, Nova Scotia, two children — siblings six-year-old Lilly and four-year-old Jack Sullivan — went missing nine months ago.
Their mother Malehya Brooks-Murray, has not spoken to the media since she participated in a volunteer search earlier this year. Her circle of friends and family say she hasn’t been doing well and is also a naturally quiet person.
The only thing police found was Lilly’s pink blanket.
International
CBC News: After two people were shot last month by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) officers, the Trump administration announced it is reducing the number of federal immigration enforcement officers in the state.
A brother of Renee Good said “ICE is beyond explanation.” Good was one of the people who was killed.
