This year, the recipient is the Barton Center for Diabetes Education. The group’s president gets to pick the charity each year.“I’ve always been diabetic and I don’t think twice about it,” Ken Krilla said. “Technology has been very generous, and the Boston area has been phenomenal to live in.”Sales started Friday along with the arrival of Belmont’s tree, donated by the Lions and carried downtown by a group high school athletes.The fundraiser brings people from all over, even celebrities like Matt Damon have stopped to soak up the holiday spirit.

Trump administration to review status of all refugees admitted under Biden

The Trump administration is ordering the review of all refugees admitted to the U.S. during the Biden administration, according to a memo reviewed by NBC News. It is the latest in a series of actions taken by the administration to dismantle the U.S. immigration system.The decision would potentially affect more than 200,000 refugees who began the process of legally immigrating to the U.S. over the last four years. In order to receive refugee status, applicants first must go through an extensive vetting process that often takes years to complete and begins one to two years before they arrive in the U.S.The memo calls for a “comprehensive review and a re-interview of all refugees admitted from January 20, 2021, to February 20, 2025,” including green-card holders. It cites a finding by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services that the Biden administration “potentially prioritized expediency, quantity, and admissions over quality interviews and detailed screening and vetting.”Applicants who are not found to meet the definition of a refugee under the re-review will have no right to appeal the decision, according to the Nov. 21 memo. Spouses, children and other family members would also lose their immigration status if the original applicant is retroactively denied.Shawn VanDiver, the founder of #AfghanEvac, a coalition of U.S. veterans and advocacy groups, called the decision “unprecedented and cruel.”“These individuals have already passed the most exhaustive vetting processes in the world — multiple agencies, biometric checks, layered security reviews. They rebuilt their lives here. They trusted the system,” VanDiver said in a statement. “It’s even worse that it comes during the week of Thanksgiving, when families across the country should be resting easy, not being thrust back into fear.”ImmigrationNov 19Migrants thought they were in court for a routine hearing. Instead, it was a deportation trapImmigrationNov 17Immigrant student enrollment drops across U.S., straining school budgets and forcing cutsOn his first day in office, President Donald Trump signed an executive order suspending the entire U.S. Refugee Admissions Program until admissions “aligns with the interests of the United States.” The executive order also placed an emphasis on the need to “ensure public safety and national security” and to “only admit refugees who can fully and appropriately assimilate into the United States.”Refugee admissions to the U.S. for fiscal year of 2026 have since decreased to a historical low of 7,500 under the second Trump administration, with the majority of admissions allocated to Afrikaners from South Africa, a white ethnic minority group that controlled South Africa during apartheid, as well as “other victims of illegal or unjust discrimination in their respective homelands.” The admission of the Afrikaners was based on claims, which have been discredited, that white South African farmers were being killed in large numbers.“For four straight years, the Biden administration accelerated refugee admissions from terror and gang-prone countries, prioritizing sheer numbers over rigorous vetting and strict adherence to legal requirements,” Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said of the Nov. 21 memo. “This reckless approach undermined the integrity of our immigration system and jeopardized the safety and security of the American people. Corrective action is now being taken to ensure those who are present in the United States deserve to be here.”Under U.S. law, refugee status is granted to the most vulnerable populations fleeing persecution for reasons including race, religion, political opinion, national origin and/or membership in a particular social group.The World Relief organization said they are “deeply grieved” by this decision, which they said will inevitably generate alarm among many individuals who will fear being returned to their home countries.“It is a moral and ethical betrayal of due process at a time when the Trump administration is attempting to lower the standard for refugee admissions to include Afrikaners and others who do not meet the legal standard of a ‘well-founded fear of persecution’ that past refugees have been required to meet,” Myal Greene, president and CEO of World Relief, said in a statement.

Bodycam videos show how ‘Slender Man' attacker was found after escape

New bodycam video shows the moment one of the “Slender Man” attackers was captured in a Chicago suburb after escaping from her group home in Wisconsin over the weekend.The video from police in Posen, Illinois, shows how officers responding to a report of two people loitering behind a Thornton’s Truck Stop at 14840 Western Ave. first encountered Morgan Geyser.In the footage, officers ask Geyser repeatedly for her name, though she refuses to comply. Eventually she provides a name, but officers later determine that name to be fake. Geyser is heard telling the officers she’s “done something really wrong.”“It can’t be that serious,” an officer replies.Eventually Geyser provides her real name, telling the officer, “Trust me, I didn’t want to give it to you. You’ll see why in a second.” Geyser repeatedly says the person with her did not know her real name. Eventually both Geyser and the person with her were taken into custody. The new developments mark the latest update in a case that has spanned more than a decade. WisconsinNov 23Wisconsin ‘Slender Man' stabbing attacker found after escaping group homeCrime and CourtsJan 9Judge releases woman who stabbed a classmate to please Slender Man from a psychiatric hospitalGeyser, one of the attackers who repeatedly stabbed and nearly killed her sixth-grade classmate all to please a fictional horror character known as “Slender Man,” cut off her ankle monitor and escaped from the group home she was in in Madison, Wisconsin.The Madison Police Department said Sunday that Geyser, now 23, had cut off her electronic monitoring device and left her group home on the capital city’s west side. She was last seen around 8 p.m. Saturday with an adult acquaintance, the department said.Geyser’s attorney, Tony Cotton, posted an Instagram video Sunday saying he did not know what happened with his client, and had urged Geyser to turn herself in. In a statement sent to NBC Chicago Monday, Cotton said his “biggest fear” regarding Geyser’s release to the group home was “her ability to navigate new relationships, particularly with older men.”In 2014, Geyser, along with classmate Anissa Weier, lured then-12-year-old Payton Leutner to a wooded area near Waukesha, a suburb of Milwaukee, after a sleepover. While there, Geyser stabbed Leutner more than a dozen times while Weier egged her on.Leutner, who was left for dead, was discovered by a passing bicyclist and taken to a hospital. She barely survived.The girls later told investigators that they attacked Leutner to earn the right to be the fictional character Slender Man’s servants and they feared he’d harm their families if they didn’t follow through. According to prosecutors, the girls plotted the stabbing for months, and they told investigators they believed Slender Man had a mansion in a forest, and they planned to live with him after the attack.Slender Man was created online by Eric Knudson in 2009 as a mysterious figure photo-edited into everyday images of children at play. He grew into a popular boogeyman, appearing in video games, online stories and a 2018 movie.Weier pleaded guilty to attempted second-degree intentional homicide. She was also sent to the psychiatric center and granted release in 2021.Geyser was found not guilty by mental disease or defect and was committed to a mental health institution.She was placed in a group home this year after being granted conditional release from the Winnebago Mental Health Institute.Wisconsin law allows people who plead not guilty due to mental disease or defect to petition a judge for release from the institution where they’re being held every six months. Geyser petitioned four times for release before Waukesha County Judge Michael Bohren finally signed off in March.Prosecutors opposed the release, alleging Geyser had been quietly reading gory novels and communicating with a man who collects memorabilia from murderers.Deputy District Attorney Abbey Nickolie alleged during a hearing that Geyser didn’t tell her treatment team that she was reading novels about murder and the sale of human organs on the black market. She also didn’t inform the treatment team that she was communicating with a man who collects murder memorabilia, allowing him to visit her and sending him artwork of a “very violent nature,” Nickolie told the judge.Geyser’s attorney, Tony Cotton, countered that Geyser only reads books the facility makes available to her and hospital officials track all her communications. She told her treatment team about the books and communications when asked, he said, adding that she can’t have violated any conditions of release because conditions haven’t been set.“Morgan is not more dangerous today,” Cotton said at the March court hearing.The judge ultimately found that Geyser had maximized her treatment and, to be truly rehabilitated, needed to rejoin society.
