‘Super mayor’ Tiffany Henyard skips Dolton meetings as controversial tenure nears quiet end

Published

on


The final days of Dolton Mayor Tiffany Henyard’s term appear to be unfolding with less acrimony than the controversies that marked much of her tenure in office.

The scandal-plagued and self-described «super mayor,» a Democrat, failed to show up for her final village board meeting on Monday, marking her fourth consecutive absence, according to reports.

Henyard lost her bid for reelection in February when she was defeated in a landslide by Jason House, who campaigned on transparency and reform, promising a «clean house» and to bring accountability back to Dolton government. House then swept the April 1 election with 95% of the vote over Independent candidate Casundra Hopson-Jordan.

House, who will be inaugurated on May 5, said audits for the 2023 and 2024 fiscal years will be conducted over the next four months over concerns about financial mismanagement, the Chicago Tribune reports. Since Henyard took office, the village has been delinquent in filing annual financial reports and audits with the state comptroller’s office.

Henyard’s tenure has brought national attention to the small Chicago suburb for all the wrong reasons. 

In April 2024, the FBI served subpoenas at Dolton Village Hall amid allegations of corruption among officials. Henyard was not served.

DOLTON MAYOR TIFFANY HENYARD FOUND IN CONTEMPT OF COURT AFTER ALLEGEDLY STONEWALLING LIQUOR LICENSES

A town meeting two months later descended into chaos when her opponents and supporters clashed after Dolton trustees voted to reinstate former Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot to investigate Henyard. Residents accused her of using village funds as her own piggy bank by billing taxpayers thousands of dollars for her hair and makeup team as well as going on a lavish trip to Las Vegas.

The town had previously hired Lightfoot to look into Henyard, but the Dolton mayor vetoed the move. Henyard also previously vetoed the board’s request to launch a federal investigation into gathering information on her alleged spending and financial mismanagement.

Henyard has been dubbed the «worst mayor in America» by critics, and has also come under fire for an alleged sexual assault by one of her allies during the Vegas trip, where the alleged victim claims to have been fired after speaking out. Henyard’s cancer charity is also facing scrutiny.

A federal subpoena was signed on Feb. 25, the day Henyard lost the mayoral primary in Dolton, as authorities pursue a criminal investigation tied to the ousted mayor. The subpoena is tied to a development project involving land once reportedly owned by Henyard’s boyfriend, FOX 32 Chicago reported.

Meanwhile, Dolton trustee Andrew Holmes, a Henyard ally, was also a no-show for Monday’s meeting, with some residents saying he hasn’t turned up in months. The new administration wants to look into why Holmes is still getting paid even though he is not showing up to village meetings, CBS reports.

Henyard also serves as supervisor for Thornton Township Supervisor, one of the 29 townships in Cook County, Illinois, with Dolton being located in Thornton Township.

She was defeated in her bid for reelection for supervisor by Illinois state Senator Napoleon Harris.

«I am pleased to announce that Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent, Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick, and United States Trade Representative, Ambassador Jamieson Greer, will be meeting in London on Monday, June 9, 2025, with Representatives of China, with reference to the Trade Deal.

«I just concluded a very good phone call with President Xi, of China, discussing some of the intricacies of our recently made, and agreed to, Trade Deal,» Trump said Thursday in a Truth Social post. «The call lasted approximately one and a half hours, and resulted in a very positive conclusion for both Countries.»

Trump said the conversation focused «almost entirely» on trade and that Xi invited the U.S. president and first lady Melania Trump to visit China. Likewise, Trump reciprocated and invited Xi and his wife, Peng Liyuan, to visit the U.S.

The Trump administration leveled tariffs as high as 145% on Chinese goods following the president’s reciprocal tariff plans in April, when China retaliated against the U.S. with tariffs of its own. China and the U.S. reached a preliminary trade agreement last month, which Trump said China violated in a Truth Social post at the end of May.

Travel ban takes effect 

Trump signed a proclamation on Wednesday banning people from 12 foreign nations from traveling to the U.S., and imposing travel restrictions on seven other nations, as part of a crackdown on «dangerous foreign actors that want to come to our country and cause us harm,» according to the White House. 

The travel ban takes effect on Monday. 

The ban will completely bar travelers from Afghanistan, Myanmar, Chad, Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen.

«The recent terror attack in Boulder, Colorado, has underscored the extreme dangers posed to our country by the entry of foreign nationals who are not properly vetted, as well as those who come here as temporary visitors and overstay their visas,» Trump said in a video posted Wednesday on social media. «We don’t want them.»

«In the 21st century, we’ve seen one terror attack after another carried out by foreign visa overstayers from dangerous places all over the world,» he added. «Thanks to Biden’s open-door policies, today there are millions and millions of these illegals who should not be in our country.»

TRUMP TRAVEL BAN 2.0 IS BUILT TO SURVIVE COURT CHALLENGES, EXPERTS SAY

Officials charged Mohamed Sabry Soliman last Monday with a hate crime, attempted first-degree murder, crimes against at-risk adults/elderly and other charges after he allegedly threw Molotov cocktails at a pro-Israel group, Run for Their Lives, in a Boulder park last Sunday. The Egyptian national was living in the U.S. illegally after entering on a work visa two years ago that has since expired, according to federal officials.

All eyes on California riots 

Riots broke out in Los Angeles over the weekend as federal immigration officials converged on the left-wing city to carry out immigration raids as part of Trump’s campaign promise to deport millions of illegal immigrants who flooded into the nation under the Biden administration. 

Violent protesters took to the streets and were seen throwing rocks and other materials at federal law enforcement officials, as well as setting cars on fire and looting local stores, in protest of the raids.

NEWSOM’S OFFICE COMPARES LA RIOTS AGAINST FEDERAL AGENTS TO SPORTS CELEBRATIONS

Trump sent 2,000 National Guard soldiers to L.A. early Sunday to help restore order as immigration protests turned into riots, queuing up a week that will likely include fireworks from Democrat California Gov. Gavin Newsom, who has repeatedly defended illegal immigrants amid the raids. 

«Great job by the National Guard in Los Angeles after two days of violence, clashes and unrest,» Trump posted to Truth Social early Sunday morning. «We have an incompetent Governor (Newscum) and Mayor (Bass) who were, as usual (just look at how they handled the fires, and now their VERY SLOW PERMITTING disaster. Federal permitting is complete!), unable to to handle the task. These Radical Left protests, by instigators and often paid troublemakers, will NOT BE TOLERATED. Also, from now on, MASKS WILL NOT BE ALLOWED to be worn at protests. What do these people have to hide, and why??? Again, thank you to the National Guard for a job well done!»

Newsom on Friday described the Trump administration’s immigration raids in Los Angeles as «chaotic and reckless.»

«Continued chaotic federal sweeps, across California, to meet an arbitrary arrest quota are as reckless as they are cruel. Donald Trump’s chaos is eroding trust, tearing families apart, and undermining the workers and industries that power America’s economy,» Newsom’s statement read. 

The press office doubled down in support of shielding illegal immigrants from deportation in a response X post to White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt on Saturday.

«In recent days, violent mobs have attacked ICE Officers and Federal Law Enforcement Agents carrying out basic deportation operations in Los Angeles, California,» Leavitt posted to X. «These operations are essential to halting and reversing the invasion of illegal criminals into the United States. In the wake of this violence, California’s feckless Democrat leaders have completely abdicated their responsibility to protect their citizens.»

Newsom’s office responded, «These are anything but basic. Your indiscriminate sweeps are terrifying entire communities and detaining hardworking, tax-paying Californians. It’s cruel escalation and must end.»

When asked about the riots and a handful of California Republicans pinning blame for the violence on Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass for supporting illegal immigrants amid the raids, Newsom’s office compared the riots to sports celebrations.

Elon Musk fallout 

Tech billionaire Elon Musk wrapped up his tenure as the leader of the Department of Government Efficiency late last month and then publicly attacked a sweeping piece of legislation promoted by Trump to fund his second administration’s agenda, sparking a fiery fight between the former allies that is expected to carry into this week.

«I’m sorry, but I just can’t stand it anymore,» Musk posted to X on Tuesday. «This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination. Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong. You know it.» 

‘KILL BILL’: ELON MUSK’S CONSERVATIVE EVOLUTION PUTS HIM AT ODDS WITH TRUMP ON KEY LEGISLATION

Fiscal conservatives in Congress have spoken out against the One Big Beautiful Bill Act as one that will increase the U.S. national debt by trillions, including Senate Republicans threatening to withhold support for the legislation after its passage in the House last month. Trump has defended the legislation as a bill that would lower taxes for Americans across the tax brackets while also tightening border security and allowing independent energy resources in the U.S. to prosper.

Musk continued slamming the legislation throughout the week, including urging lawmakers to «kill the bill» on Wednesday.

On Thursday, Trump directly addressed Musk’s comments, saying in an Oval Office meeting with the chancellor of Germany that he was «disappointed» by Musk’s attacks on the legislation and said he was unsure how their friendly relationship would fare through the criticisms. Trump added that Musk’s disapproval of the bill was allegedly tied to its cuts to electrical vehicle mandates. Musk is the CEO of electric vehicle company Tesla. 

«I’m very disappointed because Elon knew the inner workings of this bill better than almost anybody sitting here, better than you people. He knew everything about it. He had no problem with it,» Trump said Thursday. «All of a sudden, he had a problem. And he only developed the problem when he found out that we’re going to have to cut the EV mandate.»

«Elon and I had a great relationship. I don’t know if we will anymore,» Trump added.

The pair later launched attacks on one another on social media.

«Elon was ‘wearing thin,’ I asked him to leave, I took away his EV Mandate that forced everyone to buy Electric Cars that nobody else wanted (that he knew for months I was going to do!), and he just went CRAZY!» Trump posted to X on Thursday.

Trump told NBC News on Saturday that he assumes his relationship with Musk is over, while warning that Musk would «pay the consequences» if he launches campaign initiatives backing Democrats ahead of the midterms next year.

«I’m too busy doing other things,» Trump told NBC News on Saturday when asked about his relationship with Musk. «You know, I won an election in a landslide. I gave him a lot of breaks long before this happened. I gave him breaks in my first administration and saved his life in my first administration. I have no intention of speaking to him.»

Quién fue Thomas Noguchi, el polémico médico forense detrás de las muertes más icónicas de Hollywood

Published

on


El caso de la autopsia de Robert Kennedy consolidó la reputación de Noguchi por su meticulosidad y precisión (The Thelegraph Foto: Dana Lixenberg)

Hollywood es sinónimo de fama. Ya sea por sus actores, lugares icónicos o su música, este destino es mencionado constantemente en todo el mundo. Y Thomas Noguchi soñaba con alcanzar la fama hollywoodense, pero a diferencia de la mayoría de los artistas, lo hizo desde un lugar inesperado: su apellido pasó a la historia por ser el “médico forense de las estrellas”.

“Los forenses de la década de 1960 vivían en la sombra. Nunca fueron famosos”, contó la autora Anne Soon Choi a A&E True Crime. Pero fue Thomas Noguchi, jefe médico forense del condado de Los Ángeles, quien rompió con esa premisa.

Desde 1967 en adelante, Noguchi investigaría algunos de los casos de muerte más famosos de Hollywood: Marilyn Monroe, Natalie Wood e incluso las víctimas de asesinato de la Familia Manson. Esto lo llevó a ser recordado como la figura destacada de las escenas de crímenes de la ciudad.

Thomas Noguchi fue uno de los pioneros en generalizar la investigación forense durante los años 60. El profesional sobresalía por sus pruebas en la escena y su forma de conectar las mismas con los perfiles de posibles sospechosos. Eso generó controversia en más de una oportunidad.

Asimismo, su afición por captar la atención de los medios generaba polémica entre los forenses de la época. Noguchi repetía a diario que su interés por las muertes de las personas no era más que un servicio que prestaba a los vivos, quienes buscaban descubrir la verdad de los hechos.

Su deseo implícito de alcanzar reconocimiento afectó, en más de una oportunidad, la investigación de algunos miembros fallecidos de la élite de Hollywood. Así lo explicó Choi, autora de LA Coroner: Thomas Noguchi and Death in Hollywood: “Noguchi es patólogo de profesión. La idea de usar la ciencia para explicar la muerte estaba surgiendo. Por ejemplo, fue el primer forense en Estados Unidos en usar un microscopio electrónico para examinar casquillos de bala”.

En más de una oportunidad, Noguchi, de 98 años, fue aclamado por lo que se llamó “la autopsia perfecta” que duró seis horas, explicó Choi. Fue tras realizar el procedimiento en el caso de Robert Kennedy. “No pasó por alto ni un solo detalle”, aseguró.

Una de las polémicas surgió cuando Noguchi comenzó a perfilar asesinos, algo no aceptado por los profesionales. Así sucedió en el caso de la familia Manson. “Fue la primera vez que un forense hacía esto. Los forenses se ocupan del cadáver; no les corresponde formular hipótesis sobre cómo ocurrió el presunto asesinato. Él asumió esto como parte de su trabajo forense, y eso irritó a mucha gente”, detalló la escritora.

En detalle, Choi indicó: “Pasó mucho tiempo desde que ocurrieron los asesinatos hasta que arrestaron a los miembros de la familia Manson. Los psicólogos estaban opinando. Y Noguchi vio esto como una oportunidad para que la oficina forense tuviera más publicidad”.

Según detalló la autora de la obra, Noguchi basaba su opinión en su experiencia en el campo de las autopsias. Tras varios polémicos comentarios, la sociedad lo acusaba de no estar lo suficientemente cualificado. “El departamento del sheriff y el Departamento de Policía de Los Ángeles (LAPD) lo criticaron duramente, pero este fue el momento en que la oficina forense dio un gran paso hacia una oficina de cara al público”, explicó Choi.

Pero opinar acerca del perfil del asesino no sería la única acción de Noguchi que irritaría a Hollywood. Hasta bien entrados los 90, existía la convicción de que las estrellas de cine debían tener privacidad absoluta. Es decir que, si algún famoso moría de sobredosis, todos se involucraban para que no se revelaran los motivos al público.

“Noguchi creía que su trabajo con los muertos era para los vivos. Especialmente con gente famosa, como el actor William Holden. Era alcohólico. Bebió demasiado, se cayó y se golpeó la cabeza, causándole la muerte el 12 de noviembre de 1981. Noguchi quería revelar el aspecto de su muerte relacionado con la bebida, para que la gente supiera que era peligroso”, detalló Choi.

En ese sentido, el accionar del forense generó gran molestia en el Sindicato de Actores de Cine (SAG).

Dos semanas después, el médico hizo lo mismo con la actriz Natalie Wood, quien se ahogó en un accidente náutico el 29 de noviembre de 1981. En una conferencia de prensa, informó al público que había bebido seis o siete copas de champán. Esto no solo enfadó a el SAG sino también a Frank Sinatra, con quien Wood mantenía un vínculo amoroso.

Si bien Thomas Noguchi no se ganó el cariño de las estrellas de Hollywood, llegó a la fama y recibió grandes reconocimientos a lo largo de su carrera. Hoy, con 98, lleva adelante la presidencia de la World Association for Medical Law (WAML), un organismo médico fundado en 1967 para fomentar el estudio del derecho a la salud, la medicina legal y la bioética.

Tensión en Bolivia: Luis Arce acusó a Evo Morales de buscar su renuncia para forzar su candidatura presidencial

El presidente de Bolivia, Luis Arce, acusó públicamente al ex mandatario Evo Morales de intentar forzar su salida del poder mediante bloqueos de carreteras, con el fin de habilitarse como candidato a las elecciones generales del próximo 17 de agosto, a pesar de que la Constitución boliviana prohíbe una nueva reelección.

El único objetivo que tienen (pidiendo) que yo renuncie es para que se dé una sucesión presidencial entre comillas y él pueda habilitarse nuevamente como candidato”, declaró Arce este domingo en la región de Cochabamba, epicentro de las protestas organizadas por sectores leales a Morales. En sus declaraciones, el mandatario subrayó que una eventual renuncia no solucionaría los problemas estructurales del país, que identificó en la falta de financiamiento externo bloqueado en el Legislativo por legisladores afines a Morales y la oposición.

Para Arce, los bloqueos son parte de un “plan estratégico” cuyo fin es “pisotear la Constitución”. “Nosotros lo hemos criticado, lo hemos dicho con claridad y ese ha sido el motivo para que se estrelle contra el Gobierno”, afirmó. Según el mandatario, Morales estaría dispuesto a reproducir los escenarios de crisis que marcaron los comicios anulados de 2019, cuando su intento de reelección derivó en una ola de protestas, su salida del país y la posterior asunción de un gobierno interino.

Arce enfatizó que no se postulará para un nuevo mandato y llamó a Morales a no arriesgar vidas por intereses personales. “Tuvimos un golpe de Estado por el capricho de una reelección, hay que decirlo con claridad, ha habido muertes en el país producto de ese capricho. No vamos a volver a repetir esos errores que conducen nada más que al luto de las familias bolivianas”, afirmó.

Desde el lunes anterior, grupos afines a Morales mantienen bloqueos viales principalmente en el departamento de Cochabamba, con el objetivo declarado de forzar la renuncia de Arce. Las protestas también exigen que Morales pueda postularse.

El Gobierno boliviano informó que, hasta el momento, los bloqueos han dejado más de 50 heridos, entre ellos efectivos policiales, personal médico y civiles. Las autoridades también denuncian que los manifestantes han obstaculizado el paso de ambulancias, alimentos y combustible, lo que ha provocado tensiones adicionales en varias regiones.

En respuesta, el Ejecutivo ha ordenado que las Fuerzas Armadas apoyen a la Policía Nacional en las operaciones de desbloqueo. Arce aseguró que las acciones buscan restablecer el tránsito “sin que haya muertos”. Hasta ahora, el despliegue militar se ha concentrado en desbloqueos parciales y en el resguardo de infraestructuras estratégicas.

Por su parte, Evo Morales, quien gobernó Bolivia durante tres mandatos consecutivos entre 2006 y 2019, declaró que esta semana será “decisiva” para la movilización social. En un mensaje publicado este domingo, afirmó que su lucha es contra el “imperio” y contra el ex presidente de Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, a quien acusa de haber interferido en la política boliviana para evitar su retorno al poder.

Morales ha insistido en que su candidatura debe ser habilitada, pese a que el Tribunal Constitucional Plurinacional (TCP) reafirmó recientemente que la reelección presidencial solo está permitida una vez de forma continua. Esa restricción constitucional fue ratificada luego de que el propio TCP habilitara su candidatura en 2019, a pesar del referendo de 2016 en el que la mayoría del electorado rechazó una modificación constitucional que le habría permitido postularse nuevamente.

El distanciamiento entre Morales y Arce se profundizó desde fines de 2021. Morales abandonó formalmente su militancia en el MAS, partido que lideró durante casi tres décadas, luego de perder el control político sobre su estructura y de confrontar con la actual administración. Desde entonces, ha impulsado una línea política paralela con apoyo de sectores sindicales y campesinos que exigen su regreso a la presidencia.
