Rhode Island teacher accused of sexting, kissing high school boy
A married high school physical education teacher has been indicted on two counts of third-degree sexual assault after being accused of having an inappropriate relationship with a male student.
Alisha Crins is accused of exchanging sexually suggestive messages and engaging in sexual contact with the student while he was enrolled at Ponaganset High School in Rhode Island as a 17-year-old, according to an affidavit cited by WPRI.
The investigation began after the former student filed a formal complaint with Rhode Island State Police in October, the documents obtained by WPRI show.
According to the affidavit, the student told investigators Crins began texting him while he was a sophomore after allegedly finding his cellphone number online.
TEACHER PLEADS GUILTY TO SEXUALLY ABUSING 15-YEAR-OLD STUDENT WEEKS AFTER GIVING BIRTH: REPORT
He said she initially asked him to do work for her while she was on vacation, but the two continued communicating through text messages and social media after that plan fell through.
The student alleged the relationship escalated during his junior year. He told investigators Crins frequently complimented his appearance and once asked to wear his jersey during a school pep rally.
He further alleged Crins invited him to meet near her Cranston home, where they kissed inside his vehicle. During a later encounter, she allegedly climbed into the back seat and engaged in sexual contact, according to the affidavit. The student denied having sexual intercourse with her.
The alleged assaults took place between April 1 and June 30, 2024, per WJAR.
When questioned by investigators, Crins denied "getting physical" beyond a single kiss but admitted to flirting and exchanging text messages that contained "sexual innuendos," the affidavit states.
She also acknowledged sending photos and videos and told investigators the two discussed plans to have sex once he turned 18, though she said they never acted on those plans.
The Foster-Glocester Regional School District said Crins resigned from her role at the school on Oct. 1, 2025, according to WJAR.
In a statement obtained by the outlet, the district said it is cooperating with authorities and referred further inquiries to state police.

Guns and ganja: Supreme Court skeptical of federal law banning firearm possession for regular marijuana users
The Supreme Court expressed skepticism Monday about the federal government’s law banning people with a "habitual use" of marijuana from legally possessing a firearm, a Second Amendment case that could test the limits of creating exceptions to gun ownership.
But in two hours of spirited oral arguments over "guns and ganja," several justices — while seeing marijuana smokers as potentially less serious — expressed concern about allowing drug addicts and other illegal substance users who might pose a danger to society to have those weapons.
A narrow ruling appears likely and might apply only to the person at the center of the dispute and other regular marijuana users who would not pose a danger to society by having a weapon in their home.
At issue is whether the widespread use of cannabis in recent decades — where it is legal in some form in 40 states — makes criminalizing "mere possession" contingent on gun ownership.
The same law was applied to former President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, who was convicted under Section 922(g)(3), which bars any "unlawful user of or addicted to any controlled substance" from possessing a firearm.
The current case involves a Texas man charged with a felony after FBI agents raided his home and found a handgun. The suspect admitted smoking marijuana every other day.
Several on the high court worried about the implications of giving federal prosecutors overly broad discretion to charge someone for being a "drug user."
"We don't even know the quantity of how much he uses every other day. What if he took one [THC-laced] gummy bear with a medical prescription," asked Justice Neil Gorsuch. "He had one to help him sleep every other day. Disarm him for life?"
"It's the lawfulness," said Justice Amy Coney Barrett. "With the marijuana, I just don't see anything in the scheme that actually reflects Congress's judgment that this makes someone more dangerous."
But Chief Justice John Roberts said it was Congress that decided marijuana should be classified as a "controlled substance," despite what other jurisdictions decide.
"There's a broad range of determinations like that where we leave the question of its addictive difficulties and the consequences of that to a determination by the legislature with the Schedule 1, Schedule 3 [illegal drug classifications] and all that, and in each case, you don't get to reweigh the legislative determination."
The Supreme Court in 2022 expanded gun rights, requiring that modern laws have a strong basis in the country’s history and tradition. That precedent will be closely considered in the current appeal.
Among other things, it has been used to allow people to bring licensed, loaded handguns in public under so-called "concealed carry" laws.
But the conservative court has also upheld federal restrictions allowing those under domestic violence restraining orders to be disarmed.
Cannabis is illegal at the federal level, but President Trump signed an executive order to speed up the process of reclassifying it as a less dangerous substance.
The current administration has supported expanded gun rights, but in this case, it says mixing firearms and controlled substances justifies the current restrictions.
FLORIDA BILL WOULD LET CHURCHES USED ARMED VOLUNTEERS INSTEAD OF LICENSED SECURITY
"The Second Amendment does not prohibit the government from temporarily disarming habitual marijuana users while they persist in frequent use," Justice Department attorney Sarah Harris told the court. "That tailored restriction easily fits within the historical tradition of disarming categories of people who present a special danger of misuse."
The case began in August 2022, when federal agents executed a search warrant at the Lewiston, Texas, home of Ali Danial Hemani as part of a broader criminal investigation.
He admitted keeping a Glock 9 mm pistol, which he purchased legally and kept securely in the home. Agents also found approximately 60 grams of marijuana and 4.7 grams of cocaine.
Based on these findings, federal prosecutors indicted Hemani — a dual U.S.-Pakistan citizen — for violating federal law that criminalizes firearm possession by those with "persistent" use of a controlled substance, although he was never accused of using the drugs while armed. The case centered on his habitual use of marijuana alone.
Hemani faces up to 15 years in prison if convicted. A federal appeals court eventually dismissed the indictment, prompting a Justice Department petition to the high court.
His lawyers said Hemani was being unfairly targeted over gun possession because of unproven terrorist ties and a marijuana habit for which he was never prosecuted.
A major part of the courtroom public session dealt with how "drug user" should be properly defined and how it could be applied to both gun ownership and possession.
Several hypotheticals were raised about whether the federal gun restrictions could include the use of sleeping tablets, anabolic steroids and Adderall — an amphetamine used to treat ADHD and narcolepsy — and whether they could apply to drug users who are homeless or own cars.
Gorsuch suggested that linking historical laws passed at the country's founding restricting gun use for habitual drunkards to today’s marijuana users was not applicable.
He used so-called "Founding Fathers" John Adams, James Madison, and Thomas Jefferson as examples of heavy alcohol users.
"Thomas Jefferson said he wasn't much a user of alcohol, he only had three or four glasses of wine a night, okay? Are they all habitual drunkards who would be properly disarmed for life under your theory?" Gorsuch asked the government lawyer.
"The government has not been able to define what a user is," he added. "I mean, it has said at various points that it's someone who's used any illegal drug in the past year, right?"
Justice Samuel Alito pushed back, speaking for more than 15 minutes about the difficulty of using a case-by-case approach to prosecute a "drug addict" under this law.
"I struggle to figure out how these individualized determinations can be made in the context of a criminal prosecution," said Alito. "The way in which criminal prosecutions are conducted makes this extremely difficult."
"Suppose someone regularly takes a drug, and during the period when that person is taking the drug, that person is super dangerous," Alito continued. "The Second Amendment would not permit Congress to say that's too risky?"
The Hemani case has created unusual legal and political alliances. The National Rifle Association and Gun Owners of America, along with the ACLU and Drug Policy Alliance, are separately supporting the defendant.
Backing the federal government is a coalition of 19 mostly Democratic-run states led by Illinois, along with the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence.
The Supreme Court earlier this term heard a challenge to a Hawaii law that prohibits carrying firearms on private property open to the public without the owner's express permission.
The 6-3 conservative majority there appeared ready to strike down that and similar laws.
The current case is U.S. v. Hemani (24-1234). A ruling is due by early summer.

Arizona senator says US no longer 'world power' over handling of Iran conflict
Sen. Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz., said Monday that the United States is no longer a "world power" after engaging in a conflict with Iran "on somebody else’s word."
"I mean, I guess we’re not a world power anymore," Gallego told MS NOW host Chris Hayes. "I was in some pretty hard times during the war at a very young age. And it just drove me mad."
Gallego’s comments came in response to Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who told reporters at a press conference earlier that day, "We knew there was going to be an Israeli action. We knew that would precipitate an attack against American forces, and we knew that if we didn’t preemptively go after them before they launched those attacks, we would suffer higher casualties."
Hayes played a clip of Rubio's comments and cited Gallego's post on X reacting to Rubio's remarks that read, "So Netanyahu now decides when we go to war? So much for America First."
Gallego, who served in the Iraq War as a U.S. Marine, argued that the Trump administration did not enter the conflict in Iran of its own volition.
"The fact that these guys just went to war on somebody else’s word — nobody decided to say, ‘Hey, you know what? What is the best interest of the men and women of my country first?'" the senator said. "Nobody decided to go and be like, ‘Guess what? Don’t go to war. If you go to war, we’re not giving you the intelligence. We’re not going to give you the support. We’re not going to give you the bombs.’ All these things you could have done."
"Instead, [the Trump administration] said, ‘You know what? We’re going to go with you,’" Gallego continued. "And I think that really pisses me off, to be honest."
The senator continued, lamenting that "young American men and women are dying because of these idiots," and drawing a comparison to what was taking place at the beginning of the Iraq war.
"These idiots that are just willing to sacrifice U.S. men, U.S. women, without any real thought about what they’re doing and what the consequences are going to bring to these families," he asserted. "You know, it’s just I feel like — I feel like I’m repeating, you know, what I saw 20 years ago. I don’t really know what else to tell you."
Later in the interview, Gallego slammed President Donald Trump, arguing the administration had not properly planned the campaign and that such action could have unintended consequences.
"This president hasn’t planned longer than a couple of days," the senator claimed. "To keep saying it’s going to be a day, day two, two weeks, four weeks, five weeks, who the heck plans wars like that? That is not professionalism. That is not top-rate military planning for all outcomes. And that’s why there’s six men dead and maybe even more going forward, because this administration did not plan for it."

On Monday, Trump sent an official notification to Congress about the U.S. strikes against Iran, justifying the military action.
In a letter obtained by Fox News, Trump told Senate President Pro Tempore Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, that "no U.S. ground forces were used in these strikes" and that the mission "was planned and executed in a manner designed to minimize civilian casualties, deter future attacks, and neutralize Iran's malign activities."

Anti-ICE agitators convicted of stalking federal agents on livestream
Two women accused of following a federal immigration agent to his home and broadcasting it live online have been convicted of stalking by a federal jury in California.
Cynthia Raygoza of Riverside and Ashleigh Brown of Colorado, both 38, were found guilty last week of stalking a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer.
The pair followed the unidentified officer from a federal building in downtown Los Angeles on Aug. 28, 2025, to his home. They livestreamed their pursuit on Instagram and provided directions to the house to viewers, federal prosecutors said.

They further encouraged their followers to share the livestream.
Upon arriving at the house, the pair shouted at bystanders that their "neighbor is ICE," "la migra lives here," and "ICE lives on your street and you should know."
They also shouted racial slurs at the ICE officer's wife, authorities said. The ICE officer's children witnessed the harassment, prosecutors said.
The increased traffic from onlookers in the ensuing weeks caused the victim and his family to relocate to a different county, the Justice Department said.

The move disrupted the education of the officer's children. His 3-year-old son, who has a disability, lost several social and health care benefits that were tied to Los Angeles County, DOJ said.
Raygoza and Brown were found guilty of one count of stalking, for which they face up to five years in prison.
The jury found the pair not guilty, however, of one count of conspiracy to publicly disclose the personal information of a federal agent. The jury also acquitted Samane Sandra Carmona, 25, of Panorama City, of both charges she faced: conspiracy and stalking.
Raygoza and Brown are scheduled to be sentenced on June 8.
DAVID MARCUS: Legacy media anoints Talarico, downplays Crockett in Texas Democratic primary
Over the past two weeks, the liberal media has been boosting Texas Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico in ways rarely seen in a state primary, including what critics call misleading coverage and manipulation.
But his opponent, Rep. Jasmine Crockett, known for being outspoken, is not going away quietly.
It all started Feb. 16, when late-night political pundit Stephen Colbert falsely claimed the Trump administration and CBS had banned an interview with Talarico from airing. It never happened. Colbert later acknowledged the segment was satirical, but the controversy helped raise $2.5 million for the candidate and elevate his national stature.
At that time, Crockett had a firm, if not overwhelming, lead in the polls. Since then, without any major endorsements from elected Democrats, Talarico has been treated like a golden boy by liberal media outlets ranging from the far-left outlet The Nation to The New York Times.
But some voters I talked to in Dallas this weekend said they aren’t buying the hype.
I typically do not describe the skin color of people I talk to for my columns. It rarely has relevance. But in the case of Cedric, who is Black and works for the sanitation department cleaning parks, I made an exception because he brought it up.
"They don’t think the Black woman can win," he told me, referring to what he sees as the media’s preference for the White Talarico. "But everyone I know is voting for her, and the unions are. Don’t count that woman out."
It brought to mind a recent viral video clip of a White woman in Texas who was literally crying because she loves Crockett but thought she had to vote for Talarico based on electability. The overwhelming emotion she felt was almost certainly shame at the idea of betraying a Black woman for the would-be greater good.
And I found evidence that these scare tactics from the Democratic media might be working.
One Democrat voter in his 70s told me Sunday he had still not made up his mind, but, "I like what I see in the Talarico ads, and it seems many people think he has the best shot. Guess I have some thinking to do."
CROCKETT BLASTS ‘LEFT’ FOR ALLEGED SKIN DARKENING IN ADS AS TEXAS SENATE CLASH HEATS UP
Adding to the general sense of confusion over this Senate primary is the fact that the polling has been as schizophrenic as Dr. Jekyll. One day last week, two polls came out, one with Talarico up 12 points, the other with Crockett up 12 points. What is anyone supposed to do with that?
The only way this kind of polling gap can happen, short of intentional manipulation — of which there is no evidence — is if these pollsters have wildly different ideas about what the makeup of the electorate will be, which is the subjective side of that particular social science.
The polling averages have pushed Talarico into a slight lead, heralded at every turn by liberal commentators on TV celebrating the shift. But, on the ground, this supposed wind at Talarico’s back is harder to feel.
Cindy, in her 20s, who is a barista, told me, "I don’t trust the polls at all. I just vote for who I think is best." In classic Texas tight-lipped style, she declined to tell me who that was.
The conventional wisdom here in Texas is that Talarico has done enough to get over the top. I even heard this from GOP operatives. But, importantly, the people crafting that conventional wisdom all seem to be on Team Talarico.
As the results come in on Tuesday night, there is an important side bet to watch as well, because Vice President Kamala Harris has endorsed Crockett, a risk for a woman with a pretty wide lead in the 2028 primary polling.

Believe me when I say that the very same left-leaning news anchors and producers who are criticizing Crockett’s campaign want Harris nowhere near the top of the ’28 ticket. But does Kamala know something they don’t?
This primary in Texas is now, among other things, a test of the power of the liberal mainstream media. They are all in on Talarico. A Crockett win would expose just how little influence the former giants of news now have.
The good news for Democrats is that both Talarico and Crockett have pledged to support the other should they lose, which is nice but may not heal the divides.
At some point, Democratic voters, especially Black voters, will grow tired of being forced to always vote for the nice, plain White guy in tight races. It is, at bottom, an illogical effort to fight racism with racism, and its center may not hold.
Democrat in key Senate primary says she ‘regrets’ vote on Laken Riley Act, draws GOP backlash
Democratic Rep. Angie Craig, running for a Senate seat in Minnesota, penned an article this week explaining her "regret" for voting for the Laken Riley Act, sparking criticism from conservatives online and from her Republican opponents.
"I never thought the Laken Riley Act was a perfect bill, as it allowed for detention of certain violent as well as nonviolent offenses," Craig wrote in the Minnesota Star Tribune this week about the legislation, named after a nursing student who was murdered during a jog on the University of Georgia’s campus by an illegal immigrant.
"The text of the bill did not include the word deportation. I made the difficult decision to vote for it. Democrats like Sens. Mark Kelly and Ruben Gallego, Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff — leaders I deeply respect — all came to the same conclusion. But as I stood side by side with protesters on the streets of Minneapolis and opposite dozens of armed Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents at the Whipple Federal Building after Renee Good’s killing — and again after the killing of Alex Pretti — I couldn’t help but question whether I made the right call last year."
Craig went on to explain that it has "become clear that supporting any bill that gives ICE new authority in this administration was the wrong decision "and I regret my vote."
MORNING GLORY: DEMOCRATS HAVE JUST HANDED TRUMP THE CHANCE TO FIX IMMIGRATION
Craig’s reversal, as she runs in a Senate Democratic primary against Minnesota Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan, prompted immediate pushback both on social media and from the candidate also vying for the same Senate seat in the Republican primary.
"This reaction from Angie Craig epitomizes the spineless weakness that voters despise. She would rather placate to the extremists in her own political party than keep Minnesotans safe," Republican Senate candidate Adam Schwarze told Fox News Digital.
"If there’s one thing voters should know heading into midterms, it’s that politicians like Angie represent the most dangerous Democrat Party to ever run for office. Period."
"What is wrong with you, @RepAngieCraig?" the Trump White House rapid response team posted on X. "This is sick and demented."
Republican Michele Tafoya, also running for Senate, posted on X that Craig "would rather protect violent illegal immigrants than law-abiding Minnesotans."
"So the position of @RepAngieCraig is to RELEASE illegal aliens arrested for theft, burglary, assaulting police, or causing serious bodily injury? "GOP Congresswoman Tom Tiffany posted on X. "Minnesota madness has hit a whole new level."
Craig responded to Tafoya on X: "Michele Tafoya endorsed, supported, and enabled ICE's violent occupation of MN that left two people dead and our communities in mourning. She's nothing more than a rubber stamp for Donald Trump — who would keep tearing our neighborhoods apart — not bring us together."
Craig was one of 46 House Democrats to support the Laken Riley Act last year, which was the first piece of legislation to become law in President Donald Trump's second administration, which he signed shortly after taking office.
"This horrific atrocity should never have been allowed to happen," Trump told reporters ahead of signing the legislation. "And as president, I'm fighting every single day to ensure that such a tragedy never happens again."
The measure directs Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to detain illegal immigrants arrested or charged with theft-related crimes, or those accused of assaulting a police officer.
Craig will square off against Flanagan in the Aug. 11 primary in race where both candidates have positioned themselves as fierce opponents of ICE in the aftermath of the shooting deaths of Alex Pretti and Renee Good during interactions with federal immigration agents.
Flanagan, a leading progressive, took some political fire over the massive and developing Minnesota fraud scandal from Craig earlier this year when the congresswoman suggested she'd be a better fit as the party's Senate nominee since she isn't tied directly to the fraud crisis, according to reporting from the Minnesota Star Tribune.
"We absolutely can't afford to let her be the nominee and put this Senate seat at risk," Craig argued, as she pointed to Flanagan.
And taking to social media, Craig touted, "I’m the only Democrat in the race who will keep this Senate seat blue."
Already a top target for the GOP, Republicans are increasingly optimistic they can flip the Democrat-controlled open Senate seat in Minnesota, vacated by retiring Sen. Tina Smith.

JFK's grandson rips 'Love Story' series about late uncle JFK Jr and Carolyn Bessette, calls it 'grotesque'
New York congressional candidate Jack Schlossberg criticized a Hulu and FX series about his uncle, John F. Kennedy Jr., and Carolyn Bessette's relationship in an interview on Sunday, calling the show a "grotesque" display of someone else's life and arguing it was fiction.
Schlossberg, the son of Caroline Kennedy and grandson of President John F. Kennedy, slammed "Love Story" as a way for the show's producer, Ryan Murphy, to make money.
"Well, if you want to know someone who’s never met anyone in my family, knows nothing about us, talk to Ryan Murphy. I would just want people who do watch the show to watch it with one letter in mind, and that’s a capital F for fiction," Schlossberg told CBS News' Mo Rocca.
"The guy knows nothing about what he’s talking about, and he’s making a ton of money on a grotesque display of someone else’s life," Schlossberg continued. "I would hope that Mr. Murphy would donate some of the millions of dollars of profits that he’s making to maybe some of the causes that John championed throughout his life — justice, maybe he would donate some of that money to the JFK Library to help keep President Kennedy’s memory alive. But he’s not, he’s making money. This is not a documentary, and I’ll leave it at that."
JFK’S GRANDSON JACK SCHLOSSBERG DOUBLES DOWN ON ATTACKS AGAINST RFK JR, WARNS OF 'DANGEROUS' AGENDA
Rocca noted there have been numerous movies and books about the Kennedy family and asked Schlossberg if there was something particular about "Love Story."
"I think in the last year, two years, three years, partly because of RFK Jr., but also partly because Donald Trump has used JFK as sort of a human punching bag, both by renaming the Kennedy Center after himself, by doing a false reinvestigation into the assassination, and dismantling all the programs that he fought for," Schlossberg said. "There’s a lot of misinformation now and iconography being used about the Kennedy family, my family, at a time when we really can’t afford to confuse people."
He encouraged Murphy to donate some of the money he's making off the series to something that helps get Trump out of office.
"We really need to take every breath that we have to try to make things better," Schlossberg said. "So, if Ryan Murphy really cares so much about the Kennedy family, my Uncle John, maybe he would try to do something about getting Trump out of power."
Hulu and FX did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

John F. Kennedy Jr. and Bessette died in a plane crash in 1999. Schlossberg is Kennedy Jr.'s nephew.
Executive producer Brad Simpson responded to Schlossberg’s initial criticisms of the series in February, insisting the show is a "sincere" reflection of his uncle’s life.
"What I hope is that when people watch the show, they will see our sincerity. They will see that we’ve approached this with love, and that we were trying to celebrate the life of Carolyn Bessette and JFK Jr.," Simpson told The Hollywood Reporter.
"I can understand why somebody could have a reaction before they see it, but I would say, ‘Watch the show,’ because I think they’re going to be surprised at how sincere it is," Simpson said.

Schlossberg was also confronted about some of his social media posts during the CBS interview on Sunday, specifically one targeting second lady Usha Vance. In one post, Schlossberg superimposed his face on one of Usha Vance's children.
He denied that he was "crossing a line" by involving the vice president's wife.
"I think what's crossing a line is the propaganda that we see issued every single day by the White House and Vance," Schlossberg replied. "So, what are we going to do, hold back? Hold back on our sense of humor and not tease them, make fun of them back?"
He added, "First of all, I don't think anyone was seriously thinking that I meant that we did actually have a love child! You can point at anything I posted, I will point you back at a president who shares pictures of himself bombing U.S. citizens with fecal matter. This is a new era we're living in."

Las Vegas first responders conduct seven-hour rescue of injured climber stranded 600 feet up rock face
First responders in Nevada carried out a dramatic seven-hour rescue after a climber was seriously injured while stranded roughly 600 feet up a steep rock face near Las Vegas.
The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) said search and rescue teams were notified around noon Saturday about an injured climber on the "Dream Safari" route along Dark Shadows Wall in Pine Creek.
Authorities said the climber had fallen an estimated 40 to 50 feet, suffering severe head and back injuries.
The victim’s climbing partner and a guide from another climbing party reached the injured climber and controlled the bleeding while awaiting rescue crews.

Four search and rescue officers and a lead climb volunteer were inserted by the department’s AIR3 helicopter several hundred feet above the victim at the top of the route.
Rescuers then rappelled down the rock face, provided medical treatment while suspended mid-face, and secured the patient in a titanium litter.
Crews constructed a lowering system and brought the climber several hundred feet down to the ground through three separate lowering stations, with a rescuer attending to the patient during the descent.

State Department has helped over 130 Americans evacuate Israel during war with Iran, official says
The State Department has so far helped more than 130 Americans evacuate Israel during the war with Iran, an official told Fox News on Tuesday.
"Hundreds of American citizens have left Israel since the start of the conflict. Over the last few days, the State Department has assisted over 130 American citizens [in departing] Israel, with an additional 100 American citizens expected to depart today," the State Department official said.
"The Department is in direct contact and aiding nearly 500 American citizens [with arranging] travel out of Israel currently," the official added.
U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee said overnight, "We are getting a lot of requests regarding evacuating from Israel from American citizens who are currently in Israel or who have family here," and that there are "very limited" options available.

"As of now, the best is utilizing Israel's Ministry of Tourism shuttle bus to Taba, Egypt and getting flights from there or going on to Cairo for flights back to the U.S.," Huckabee said on X. "Not sure when Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv will reopen. Hopefully soon, but even when it does, there will be VERY limited flights with priorities to those who already were ticketed by El Al. Doubtful that other airlines will fly in/out for a while."
The State Department also has warned Americans in more than a dozen countries across the Middle East to depart immediately due to risks tied to the conflict with Iran.
