Indianapolis official's home attacked after vote in favor of controversial data center
An Indianapolis city councilor said someone fired multiple rounds into his home overnight Sunday while he and his son were inside after he backed a controversial data center project, according to reports.
Ron Gibson, a Democrat representing District 8, said the shooting happened around 12:45 a.m. Monday and that roughly 13 rounds were fired into his home, FOX59 reported. A threatening note reading "no data centers" was also left under his doormat, according to the outlet.
Images from the scene show a front door riddled with bullet holes and an outer glass door completely shattered by the gunfire.
The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department (IMPD) told Fox News Digital that the officers responded to the lawmaker's home on East 41st Street around 9 a.m. Monday after reports of shots fired. Police described the incident as "an isolated, targeted incident" and said no injuries were reported.

Police told Fox News Digital that the case is being investigated by IMPD’s Violent Crimes Task Force, with assistance from the FBI, and that an evidence technician responded to the scene to photograph and collect evidence. The Department of Homeland Security is also assisting, FOX59 reported.
Fox News Digital has reached the FBI and DHS for comment.
Gibson said he and his 8-year-old son were inside at the time.
''Just steps from where those bullets struck is our dining room table, where my son had been playing with his Legos the day before,'' Gibson told the outlet. ''That reality is deeply unsettling. This was not just an attack on my home but endangered my child and disrupted the safety of our entire neighborhood.''

The shooting came days after Gibson voted in favor of a proposed half-billion-dollar Metrobloks data center project in the city’s Martindale-Brightwood neighborhood, on the near northeast side of Indianapolis. The plan has drawn intense opposition from residents.
In a statement issued April 1, Gibson defended his vote after the rezoning was approved by the Metropolitan Development Commission.
''This project met those standards, and I support the Commission’s decision to approve the rezoning for the MetroBloks project,'' Gibson said.

He added that the development could bring investment, jobs and long-term tax revenue to the area.
''MetroBloks has the potential to bring significant investment, create jobs, and generate long-term tax revenue that supports infrastructure, housing and essential services,'' he said.
Gibson said the shooting would not deter him from serving his district.
''I am a public servant, but I am also a father and a neighbor,'' he said. ''This act brought violence into our neighborhood, the very thing I work every day to stand against.''
Local leaders and community groups across the political spectrum condemned the attack.
According to FOX59, Indianapolis City-County Council President Maggie A. Lewis called the shooting ''deeply disturbing'' and said violence has no place in civic discourse, while Mayor Joe Hogsett said no family should have to endure violence in their home.
Republican council members also denounced the incident, calling it ''outrageous'' and urging swift justice. A coalition opposing the data center project also condemned the shooting, saying it was not affiliated with their efforts and reaffirming their commitment to peaceful advocacy.
Supreme Court clears path for DOJ to erase Steve Bannon's Jan 6 conviction
The Supreme Court on Monday cleared the way for the Justice Department to dismiss the criminal conviction against President Donald Trump's former adviser, Steve Bannon — a symbolic, but significant move in one of the highest-profile prosecutions tied to the Jan. 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol riot and resulting congressional probe.
In a brief, unsigned order, justices tossed an appeals court ruling that upheld Bannon’s criminal contempt conviction, sending the case back down to a district court judge for dismissal.
The order clears a key legal obstacle for the Trump administration to dismiss Bannon's criminal conviction completely.
EX-FBI AGENTS INVOLVED IN ARCTIC FROST PROBE SUE FOR WRONGFUL TERMINATION
The reversal is largely symbolic. Bannon, a longtime Trump ally and former White House adviser, was convicted in 2022 on two criminal charges of contempt of Congress stemming from his refusal to testify before a House select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol riot.
He had already served a four-month prison sentence for the convictions in 2024, after the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit upheld the guilty verdict handed down by the jury and declined to rehear the case.
Bannon had also been ordered to pay more than $6,000 in fines in connection with the conviction.
The Supreme Court, for its part, declined at the time to grant his emergency application to further postpone jail time.
In vacating the appeals court order, justices on the high court removed a key legal obstacle preventing the Trump administration from dismissing Bannon's conviction.
Bannon’s lawyers had argued at the time that he had been acting on the advice of his counsel in refusing to comply with Congress.
They also attempted to argue claims of executive privilege, though the latter sparked skepticism from House lawmakers, who noted that Bannon had departed the White House in 2017, several years before the riot took place.
It is unclear how long it might take to formally dismiss the case at the district court level.
The Justice Department in February asked the Supreme Court to allow them to dismiss Bannon's conviction and remand his case back to the district court to do so. They told the high court they had concluded the prosecution was no longer in "the interests of justice."
The unanimous Supreme Court order did not have any dissents.
FBI AGENTS GROUP TELLS CONGRESS TO TAKE URGENT ACTION TO PROTECT AGAINST POLITICIZATION
Still, the request and resulting order represents a stark about-face from the Biden-led Justice Department, which had argued to the Supreme Court in 2024 that Bannon had acted "with total noncompliance" in avoiding the House investigators. They had urged the high court to deny Bannon's bid to delay prison time.
The order also comes as Trump, in his second term, has moved to unwind many of the investigations brought by the Justice Department under then-President Joe Biden — including the convictions brought in connection with the Jan. 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol riot.
Shortly after taking office last year, Trump issued a blanket pardon to more than 1,500 persons convicted or charged in connection with the events of the day.
His administration has also terminated a growing list of FBI agents assigned to the Jan. 6 investigation, prompting a wave of wrongful termination lawsuits, including one filed as recently as last month.
Major national security vulnerability exposed as DHS reveals how relatives of terror architect allowed into US
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced it had discovered "significant national security and public safety risks" in U.S. vetting processes, calling the system "wholly inadequate," just days before two relatives of slain terrorist leader Qasem Soleimani were taken into custody in Los Angeles.
The arrests of Soleimani’s niece, Hamideh Soleimani Afshar, and grandniece, Sarinasadat Hosseiny, left many asking how close family associates of one of the most well-known terrorists in the world could gain lawful permanent status in the U.S. A USCIS internal review announced just days before the arrests may shed some light on that.
On March 30, USCIS issued an alert that, through an ongoing comprehensive review of pending workloads and benefit applications, it had "ascertained that prior screening and vetting measures were wholly inadequate."
The agency said that "many applicants for naturalization and lawful permanent residence were not sufficiently vetted." As a result, USCIS said applications were approved and individuals were naturalized who "should not have been."
PARENTS OF MACDILL BOMB SUSPECTS ARE ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS, DHS WARNS OF BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP DANGERS
"These gaps," said USCIS, "expose the United States to significant national security and public safety risks and compromise the integrity of the immigration system."
In light of these risks, USCIS announced that the agency was issuing a hold and review of all pending asylum applications and benefit applications filed by aliens from high-risk countries. USCIS said the hold and review was in accordance with several executive orders and presidential proclamations by Trump mandating stricter screening and vetting.

In a policy memo announcing the hold and review, USCIS said it would conduct a comprehensive re-review, potential interview, and re-interview of all aliens from high-risk countries of concern who entered the United States on or after the day former President Joe Biden took office. The agency noted that "when appropriate," it would "extend this review and re-interview process to aliens who entered the United States outside of this timeframe."
Then, on Saturday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced that he had revoked green cards belonging to Soleimani’s grandniece after their association with the notorious Iranian military leader was discovered. Rubio said that Soleimani Afshar "is also an outspoken supporter of the Iranian regime who celebrated attacks on Americans and referred to our country as the 'Great Satan.'" He said that both were in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) pending removal.
Soleimani, the late head of the Quds Force of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, was killed by a drone strike ordered by Trump in 2020.
The White House declined to comment on Soleimani Afshar and Hosseiny’s arrests, referring Fox News Digital to the State Department. In turn, the Department of State referred Fox News Digital to the Department of Homeland Security.
Acting Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis told Fox News Digital that both entered the U.S. in 2015. Soleimani Afshar entered on a tourist visa in June, while her daughter, Hosseiny, entered in July on a student visa. Both were granted asylum status by a judge in 2019.
Bis said that Soleimani Afshar became a green card holder under the Biden administration in 2021, giving her permanent lawful status. Two years later, in 2023, Hosseiny also got her green card, gaining permanent lawful status.
According to Bis, Soleimani Afshar even filed a naturalization application last July. On her application, Soleimani Afshar disclosed that she had traveled to Iran at least four times since being issued a green card. Bis said these trips to Iran "illustrate her asylum claims were fraudulent."
TULSI GABBARD WARNS OF 'DIRECT THREAT' FROM SUSPECTED TERRORISTS NOW LIVING IN UNITED STATES
Simon Hankinson, a senior research fellow at the Heritage Foundation's Border Security and Immigration Center, explained that under current law, the bar for asylum claims in the U.S. is "pathetically low."
"Some immigration judges apply the standards properly; others are incredibly lax, for altruistic or ideological reasons," he told Fox News Digital.
He said the Soleimani relatives most likely "made a case that they were being persecuted by the Iranian regime."
"This wouldn’t be impossible — there are relatives of dictators and bad guys who do oppose their own families. But it appears these women didn’t — they supported the regime, its proxies, and policy. They reportedly returned for visits."
"Children of regime apparatchiks from China, Cuba, Iran, Russia, and every other country with a communist, dictatorial, repressive regime come here to college, buy houses, get jobs, and stay," he said, adding, "Some are running away from their home regime and could have legitimate claims to asylum. Most are here spending their parents’ money. Scumbags from all over the world rail against the West but they want the New York, Miami, and London lifestyle for their families to enjoy with the money they loot from their own people."
USCIS, which is a component of DHS, said that in light of its discoveries, it is developing a "layered vetting plan." The agency said this plan will incorporate classified and unclassified information, as well as expanded criminal history checks, identity verification, and ad hoc security checks with the purpose of closing security gaps.
The agency also said it has compiled information on each country listed in the travel ban proclamations and is working with the State Department to identify risk factors, including indicators of fraud, public safety, or national security risks.
Bis emphasized that "it is a privilege to be granted a green card to live in the United States of America."
She added that "if we have reason to believe a green card holder poses a threat to the U.S., the green card will be revoked."
'SNL' star Chloe Fineman faces backlash after revealing she pantsed a 6-year-old boy as a camp counselor
"Saturday Night Live" star Chloe Fineman is facing backlash after she revealed in a Vanity Fair video that she pantsed a 6-year-old boy while working as a camp counselor during her teenage years.
The video, titled "‘SNL’ Cast Test How Well They Know Each Other," started off with Fineman asking her "SNL" co-stars to guess which job she was fired from and later rehired by. Mikey Day, Sarah Sherman, Ashley Padilla, Jane Wickline and James Austin Johnson were in the video, brainstorming what Fineman's job title could have been.
"I was fired as a camp counselor. I pantsed a boy. He would lift my shirt all the time. It was a different time. He would be like, ‘Hey, could I have a hug?’ And then I’d go to hug him and he’d lift my shirt, like a d---," Fineman said, explaining that she was 16.

According to Variety, after the video received backlash, Vanity Fair edited out the fact that the boy was 6 years old and that Fineman said his "little ding-a-ling was out."
"He wasn’t wearing underpants, and then a giant school bus drove by," Fineman said in the original video, according to Variety. In the original video, Fineman's "SNL" co-stars covered their faces in shock, but those clips were also reportedly edited out.

The video, which was uploaded to YouTube, received several comments about Fineman's story.

"Chloe needs to not share so much. Lol," a third user wrote. "Never knew Chloe did so much crime," another added.
Vanity Fair did not respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.
Chicago's deadly sanctuary madness is costing innocent Americans their lives
"Law and order" is not an abstract political slogan. Without it, you do not have a civilized society. When law and order breaks down, it is the innocent who pay the price first, whether they live on the South Side, Rogers Park or anywhere in Chicago that we call home. Without it, we do not have community. We have fear and chaos. Without it, we do not have justice. We have death and, in some cases, retaliation.
I’m continuing on my Walk Across America. I was not in Chicago when I heard the news that 18-year-old Sheridan Gorman, a Loyola University freshman from New York, was gunned down in cold blood. The man who is accused of killing her is Jose Medina-Medina, a 25-year-old Venezuelan national who entered our nation illegally in 2023. He had previous arrests for shoplifting, and yet he was released onto the streets because our sanctuary politics favor illegal immigrants over law-abiding citizens.
This death comes a year after the senseless death of Katie Abraham in Urbana, Illinois. That 20-year-old girl was sitting in the back of a car at a red light in the middle of the night when a truck driven by an illegal immigrant smashed into her at 80 mph. For over a year, I watched her courageous father, Joe Abraham, do everything he could to warn elected officials that their sanctuary city policies would lead to the death of more innocents.
They ignored him. Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker ignored him. They all ignored him.
They valued the White-guilt virtue they believed they gained from allowing illegal immigrants into their city, unvetted and unassimilated. They didn’t care about Katie.
And now Sheridan is dead.
This is not an isolated heartbreak. This is the fruit of a city, and a nation, that has let lawlessness fester.
On the South Side, we have lived with it for years: open-air drug markets, gang shootings that turn playgrounds into war zones and politicians who lecture us about "equity" while the body count rises. We watched as certain criminals were coddled, released and protected while the Black families trying to raise children in peace paid the ultimate price.
Now that same infestation of lawlessness has spread. The same lack of order that destroyed so many Black neighborhoods is now claiming the lives of other Chicagoans, young people from every background who simply wanted to walk by our city’s lake without fearing the deadly shock of a bullet.
SLAIN DC INTERN'S MOM URGES SHERIDAN GORMAN'S FAMILY TO 'FIGHT BACK' AFTER OBITUARY OLIVE BRANCH
What began as a crisis in our Black communities is now a citywide epidemic, proving once more that bad policy has no respect for ZIP codes or skin color. Every Chicagoan deserves a city where the police are empowered, borders are respected and criminals are put in prison instead of being released.
That is exactly why I am still walking these streets and why I am pouring my life into building our Project H.O.P.E. community center on the South Side. I am not building another warehouse for excuses or government handouts. I am building a place that teaches young people the God-given value of work, responsibility and respect for the law.

I want to welcome free thinkers who understand that safety is not optional and that no community can thrive when certain criminals are placed above the citizens they prey upon. American principles demand equal justice under the law, not justice for some and leniency for others based on political correctness.
To the families of Katie Abraham and Sheridan Gorman, my heart breaks with yours. I am praying for you and standing with you. And to every leader in my city of Chicago who still defends these sanctuary policies while our streets run with blood, I say, repent.
Put the citizens first. Enforce the law without apology. Because until we do, the next victim could be any one of our children, walking any street, at any time.
Vanderbilt heiress Belle Burden warns of financial 'red flags' she missed during marriage to hedge fund exec
Belle Burden is issuing a warning based on the "red flags" she experienced in her marriage.
Burden, a Vanderbilt heiress whose new book, "Strangers: A Memoir of Marriage," details her bitter divorce from hedge fund executive Henry Davis, ignored several issues in her marriage, and she's detailing some big ones in a new interview.
During an appearance on the "Financial Tea with Mrs. Dow Jones" podcast, the author described the way Davis handled the couple's money. She explained that she gave up her career in corporate law to raise their three children and let him focus on his growing career in finance — and in doing so, she let him control their bank accounts completely.
"I think that there was something romantic, almost, about handing this over to him," Burden admitted. "He was like the man in the gray flannel suit who had arrived. And he said to me, 'I'm going to take care of you.' So there was something that felt, like, wonderful about that."
The foundation of this idea, handing over control of finances to Davis, happened early on in their relationship.
Burden had generational wealth from both sides of her family, and when she was younger, she signed a contract with her mother ensuring that she'd sign a prenup when she married. She had two trust funds, which were both protected in case of divorce, and she didn't personally want a prenup, but the contract forced her hand.
Davis suggested a specific amendment to the draft her lawyer had sent ahead of the wedding: instead of splitting everything equally if they were to divorce, he wanted them each to keep what they had in their own names and split anything in both of their names.

Burden wrote in her book that when she told her lawyer about the change, he "told me it was a bad idea; it was standard to share in what was earned during a marriage, both by [Davis] and by me ... It was fair. I made the counterargument, repeating the words [Davis] had given to me to explain why we should make the change. Finally, [the lawyer] said, 'Okay, Belle, if this is what you want.'"
She admitted to feeling a "wave of anxiety," but went through with the amended prenup because she trusted Davis.
As she said on "Mrs. Dow Jones," another factor was the couple's "financial inequity." She "wanted to make him feel good and feel important" — his family was "essentially broke" when he was growing up, and it wasn't until after they were married that his career took off — and in doing that, she made herself smaller so he could "feel bigger."
Then, after they had their first child, and she gave up her full-time work to be a mother, another factor came into play.
"Over the course of our marriage, as I kind of handed [the financial control] off to him, you start to, or I started to believe I couldn't understand it, even though I'm a former corporate lawyer. I paid our bills, and I signed our tax returns, but I didn't read them and I didn't ask him what his bonuses were. And I just trusted and trusted and trusted. And I thought, 'Oh, it's just so complicated. Only he can understand it.'"
In addition to not looking at the tax returns, Burden explained that a bookkeeper had kept track of every single charge she made on the couple's credit cards.
"It was like a subtle thing that feels protective, like he was very, like, had a strong hand on our spending ... did not want us to spend too much, which felt like protection," she said. "But the flip side of that is that it is controlling, it's really controlling ... it just was like these eyes on me. And I didn't have the same eyes on him."
She didn't find out until the divorce proceedings that over the course of their marriage, he'd amassed "at least eight figures of wealth."

When Haley Sacks, the host of the podcast better known by her Mrs. Dow Jones moniker, asked if she would see it as a red flag in a future relationship if someone acted the way Davis did in the beginning, she was quick to agree.
"I think it's a real red flag," she said. "I don't think I will get married again. I feel like the idea of co-mingling assets again is really unappealing to me. I'm so happy being in control of my own. So if I was in another relationship, I think I would keep it very separate. But yes, I do see it as a red flag. And I think it doesn't mean your husband is going to walk out the way mine did, but if you ask the questions and ask to be included and ask to understand where the assets are and whose name is on them, and they don't want to tell you, that is a real red flag. And you should really talk to a professional to try and understand what's going on financially in your marriage."
In March 2020, when Burden, Davis and two of their three children were quarantining in their Martha's Vineyard home at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, Burden got a phone call from a man saying that his wife was having an affair with her husband. Davis was apologetic at first, but the next morning, he told her he wanted a divorce.
"I try to hold both things in my head, that we really loved each other and had a very happy marriage for a long period of time," she said, "but that he was pretty much programmed from long before the time he met me to really protect himself financially. And I think that was at play in the prenup. I think that was at play at every stage in our marriage. And I think that when he earned money, like when he got a bonus, there was no part of him that was ever going to put it into a joint name."
"You were using your trust to pay for the children's school, for the houses," Sacks pointed out. "And he was building like a vintage Rolex collection."
Burden wrote briefly about the Rolex collection in her book, claiming that, under his watchful eye, she put purchases like birthday presents for the children and clothes for herself on her personal credit card that he didn't monitor, and her family paid school tuition and made college funds for the kids, while he spent money on things like "a dozen rare Rolex watches, several motorcycles, rare coins, custom suits from Zegna, a small vintage boat that had been used in 'Live and Let Die,' and expensive red wine, hundreds of bottles."
The book is also where she wrote about using her trusts to purchase the family's two homes — homes she went through extra effort to make sure were in Davis' name as well.
In 2001, they bought a four-bedroom apartment in Manhattan, something that was "much bigger" than she thought they needed, but that Davis loved. She emptied one of her two trusts to purchase it and listed Davis as a joint owner, "even though he had not contributed to the purchase." She said she was happy to do it.
A few years later, she used her second trust to purchase a summer home in Martha's Vineyard. Davis had gone to look at it alone, and he'd loved it, so she wired him the funds from the trust, emptying it completely, and, as with the apartment, she made sure Davis was listed as a joint owner of the property.
Burden told Sacks that she'd had to write a formal letter to the trustees of her trusts to release the funds so she could make the purchases — another option would have been to simply buy the homes with the trusts so they would have stayed protected, but she felt like it was important for Davis' name to be on the deeds as well.
"I felt like I was doing something so important for our marriage, for our family, that I was curing something for him," she said.
It wouldn't be until after Davis filed for divorce and requested the prenup be enforced that she realized the situation she was in.
In their initial conversations after she learned of the affair, she wrote in "Strangers" that he'd told her she could keep the apartment, the house and custody of their three children. While he continually refused any custody throughout the divorce proceedings and after, the enforcement of the prenup meant that while she wouldn't be able to touch anything he'd earned in his very successful career, he would be entitled to half of the two homes.
Burden called Davis to talk to him about this after receiving a summons from court. She wrote that during the call, she asked, "Why are you doing this to me?" to which he answered, "I'm not doing anything to you."
"I said, 'You left us. You’ve never told me why,'" she recalled. "His voice was calm, cold. 'I didn’t leave you. I changed residences.'"
She wrote that she felt herself "losing control" at that response, and started sobbing and telling him that he had left her and their children. In response, "he said, in a singsong voice, like a taunting child, 'Boo-hoo. Poor Belle. Always the victim.'"
Later, she made the decision to file a counterclaim that would fight the prenup — for years, she said she and Davis agreed they should amend the prenup "since it was no longer fair" to her, given her decision to give up her career while his took off. They never went through the process, and when push came to shove, she couldn't afford to buy Davis out of the two homes, meaning she'd be forced to sell both.

Six months later, a judge dismissed the counterclaim and enforced the prenup, then set a trial date to resolve the issue of child support and their joint property. Davis, Burden wrote, hadn't brought up her counterclaim in the months after she initially filed it, but after it was dismissed, he was "inflamed by it."
"He said he would give me only the minimum child support required by law," she claimed. "He said I would have to face the consequences of the prenup, of my failed counterclaim."
She grappled with the idea of her children losing the homes they'd known all their lives and with losing what her family had left to her, as well as her own financial security.
"There was no reason for it, given [Davis'] resources, given his desire to shed, given his refusal to make a home for the kids," she wrote. "It felt like he was playing a game, or running a deal, one he was going to win at all costs, by a wide margin, regardless of the impact on me and our children."
In the end, an hour before their trial was to begin in October 2021, Burden and Davis reached a settlement on their own. He negotiated the terms, and she said that she "had to be calm, deferential, grateful," and that if she got her lawyer involved or "pushed him," he would withdraw the offer altogether.
He gave up his interest in the two properties they owned and agreed to child support and to pay the children's medical expenses and school tuition. Meanwhile, he'd keep all the money he'd earned throughout their marriage.
"I don’t know what finally made him decide to settle," Burden admitted. "I have several guesses, but I will never know for sure. Maybe he always planned to resolve it before trial, to give me the house and the apartment. But only after he brought me to my knees."
She told Sacks, "I had given up the fantasy of having any settlement from him, because he was not going to give me any of his money ... I don't spend a lot of time thinking about what I didn't get or what was lost financially. I really just focus on what I have now."

California's $20 minimum wage for fast-food workers led to 'negative outcomes,' researchers say
Researchers found that California's minimum wage hike for fast-food workers led to "negative outcomes" such as automation and reduced work hours.
The researchers at the University of California, Santa Cruz suggested in a report published in March that the policy could produce unintended consequences such as an increase in menu prices, a loss of overtime and benefits, reductions in employee working hours, and an implementation of automation that replaces workers.
The minimum wage for workers was $16 before the $20 minimum wage for fast-food workers became law in April 2024. Gov. Gavin Newsom said in September 2023 the increase would help workers earn more as the cost-of-living rises.

"The results indicate a plethora of negative outcomes such as higher menu prices for consumers, reductions in employee working hours, widespread elimination of overtime and loss of benefits for employees," said Stephen Owen, an economics lecturer, University of California, Santa Cruz.
"Further decreases in employee opportunities are being driven by automation and the adoption of labor replacement technologies is accelerating."
The report came after a Berkeley Research Group study discovered not only were there 10,700 jobs lost between June 2023 and June 2024 in the sector, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics data. The prices at the establishments soared by 14.5% after the new minimum wage became law.

Despite the findings, California officials doubled down on minimum wage laws.

The Hotel Association of Los Angeles (HALA) recently commissioned a study that found hotels have eliminated or expect to eliminate 6% of positions, roughly 650 jobs, since the Hotel Worker Minimum Wage Ordinance took effect in September.
While these laws raise concern from business owners, advocates in Oakland, California are pushing for a $30 minimum wage.
NYC $30 MINIMUM WAGE PROPOSAL PUSHED BY MAMDANI WOULD 'OBLITERATE' CERTAIN INDUSTRIES: EXPERT WARNS
On the East Coast, the city council in New York City is weighing a proposal to boost the minimum wage to up to $30 — a move that newly elected Mayor Zohran Mamdani signaled that he would sign on the campaign trail — causing consternation among the business community.
The proposal from New York City Council Member Sandy Nurse, a Democrat representing Brooklyn, would require employers to pay workers $25 an hour if those employers provide qualifying benefits and $30 an hour if not. The current $17 minimum wage would undergo a phased increase to reach $30 per hour by 2030 for businesses with 500+ employees and $29 by 2032 for smaller businesses.
Business owners in New York City reportedly warned of dire consequences if the law passes.
"We feel like we’re at a tipping point with consumers," said Melissa Fleischut, president of the New York State Restaurant Association.
The mandate was a campaign pledge from Mamdani, who promoted a "$30 by '30'" minimum wage message.

Trump admin terminates some agreements with districts, college on transgender students
As President Donald Trump's administration pushes back against radical leftist gender ideology, the Department of Education is taking aim at agreements from prior administrations.
The U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights has rolled back provisions of resolution agreements stemming from previous administrations, unshackling schools from unlawful enforcement of Title IX, according to the department.
"Today, the Trump Administration is removing the unnecessary and unlawful burdens that prior Administrations imposed on schools in its relentless pursuit of a radical transgender agenda," Department of Education Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights Kimberly Richey said in a statement.

"While previous Administrations launched Title IX investigations based on ‘misgendering,’ the Trump Administration is investigating allegations of girls and women being injured by men on their sports team or feeling violated by men in their intimate spaces," she added.
"Today is yet another demonstration of the Trump Administration’s commitment to uphold the law, protect our students, and restore common sense. No longer will the federal government force educational institutions to violate the law or punish them for upholding it," Richey declared.
The Department of Education listed Cape Henlopen School District, Delaware Valley School District, Fife School District, La Mesa-Spring Valley School District, Sacramento City Unified and Taft College.

"OCR is rescinding portions of six resolution agreements that were reached through the illegal, heavy-handed manipulation of Title IX. The Department will therefore no longer monitor or enforce these agreements," the department said.
A settlement that Delaware Valley School District had with the Obama administration required the district to allow students to utilize restrooms that matched their gender identity, according to The Associated Press.
In February, the Trump administration sent the district a letter saying it was rescinding the settlement.
The administration required the district to rescind antidiscrimination protections for transgender pupils, the AP reported.
