NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Jay Jones, Virginia’s embattled Democratic attorney general candidate, once allegedly suggested that if more police officers were killed, they would shoot fewer people, a former colleague in the state legislature said.
Republican Del. Carrie Coyner told Virginia Scope on Monday that during a 2020 conversation about qualified immunity, she told Jones that without the legal protection, police officers would get killed, the New York Post reported.
«Well, maybe if a few of them died, that they would move on, not shooting people, not killing people,» Jones responded, according to Coyner.
LIBERAL MSNBC PANELIST CALLS FOR VIRGINIA AG CANDIDATE TO DROP OUT OVER VIOLENT TEXT MESSAGES

Jones was already under fire after Coyner previously revealed 2022 text exchanges in which he suggested he would shoot then-House Speaker Todd Gilbert over Adolf Hitler. He also said Gilbert and his wife should have to watch his «fascist» children die.
At one point, Jones wrote, «Three people, two bullets. Gilbert, Hitler, and Pol Pot. Gilbert gets two bullets to the head.»
The Fraternal Order of Police of Virginia sent a letter to Jones on Monday, calling for him to bow out of the Attorney General race immediately, while also condemning his actions.
«The Virginia Fraternal Order of Police is aware of the recent text message scandal involving you, the Democrat candidate for Attorney General. While this incident may have occurred in 2022, this conduct has no place in our society or democracy, especially from an elected official who is running to be the top prosecutor in Virginia,» the FOP wrote. «The men and women of the Virginia Fraternal Order unequivocally condemn these violent text messages sent by you about a political opponent and his family.»
The FOP said it supports everyone’s right to «respectful and peaceful discussions» with politicians, though «calling for any type of violence is unacceptable.»
«We have seen what this type of rhetoric has caused in other parts of the country. The men and women of law enforcement work tirelessly to combat the violence you wished on a fellow Virginian and his family,» the FOP added. «Therefore, the members of the Virginia Fraternal Order of Police believe that you, Jay Jones, are unfit for the office of Attorney General of Virginia. It is time you hold yourself accountable for these actions and withdraw from the Attorney General race immediately.»
Jones is also facing calls from Republicans to drop out of the attorney general race.
In a statement to Fox News Digital, Coyner said Jones, a Democrat, is unfit for office.
«My position is very clear. It is never acceptable to think that killing people is a justifiable method to achieve policy changes. Period. Anyone that advocates for killing someone for disagreeing with them is not qualified to serve,» Coyner said.
YOUNGKIN PRESSES DEMS TO PUSH JAY JONES OFF VIRGINIA AG TICKET AFTER ‘BEYOND DISQUALIFYING’ MESSAGES SURFACE
Jones denied the new allegations.
«I did not say this. I have never believed and do not believe that any harm should come to law enforcement, period. Every single day, police officers put their lives on the line to protect our communities, and I am deeply grateful for their service and sacrifice. As Attorney General, I will work hand-in-hand with law enforcement to support their work,» Jones told Virginia Scope.
Fox News Digital has reached out to Coyner and Jones.

Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin said Jones should abandon his campaign in light of the messages, saying they were «beyond disqualifying.»
«This violent, disgusting rhetoric targeted at an elected official and his children is beyond disqualifying,» Youngkin wrote in an X post Saturday. «Jay Jones said that ‘Gilbert gets two bullets to the head’ and then hoped his children would die. Read those words again.»

Trump admin unlawfully terminated legal status of migrants who used Biden-era app, judge rules
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
A federal judge ruled on Tuesday that the Trump administration unlawfully terminated the legal status of thousands of migrants who had been allowed to temporarily live in the U.S. after using an app expanded by the Biden administration to schedule appointments with immigration officials.
U.S. District Judge Allison Burroughs in Boston ordered the administration to reverse its move last year to revoke the legal status of migrants who used the CBP One app.
The app was used under former President Joe Biden starting in 2023 to address the crisis at the border by allowing some migrants to make appointments to seek asylum, with many paroled into the country for up to two years, but President Donald Trump moved to shut down the app when he returned to the White House last year.
Burroughs found that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security acted unlawfully in April of last year when it sent mass emails to many of the roughly 900,000 people who entered the country using the app, informing them that it was «time for you to leave the United States.»

«The regulations do not give the agency unfettered discretion to terminate parole,» Burroughs wrote.
«When Defendants terminated the impacted noncitizens’ parole without observing the process mandated by statute and by their own regulations, they took action that was ‘not in accordance with law,’» the judge added.
The Venezuelan Association of Massachusetts, one of the plaintiffs in the case, celebrated the ruling, saying it «brings long-awaited relief after months of fear and uncertainty.»
Democracy Forward, another group that helped bring the legal challenge, also praised the judge’s decision.

«Today’s ruling is a clear rejection of an administration that has tried to erase lawful status for hundreds of thousands of people with the click of a button,» the group’s president, Skye Perryman, said in a statement.
«Our clients followed the law: they waited, registered, were inspected, and were granted parole under the law. The Trump-Vance administration’s effort to tear that status away overnight was unlawful and cruel — and today, the court rejected that harmful and destabilizing policy,» the statement added.
A DHS spokesperson said the ruling was an example of «blatant judicial activism» that interfered with Trump’s authority to determine who remains in the country.
«Canceling these paroles is a promise kept to the American people to secure our borders and protect our national security,» the spokesperson said in a statement.

The ruling came after a class-action lawsuit filed in August by three individuals from Venezuela, Cuba and Haiti who argued the Trump administration’s effort to remove them from the country represented an abrupt, unlawful move to pull parole status and work authorization from migrants.
The Trump administration had argued that Biden overstepped parole authority by broadly awarding the status instead of granting it on a case-by-case basis.
Burroughs said when DHS sent out termination notices to migrants, it failed to comply with requirements to provide a record showing an official had determined that the purposes of parole had been served.
«Accordingly, the parole terminations exceeded the agency’s statutory authority and contradicted the procedures set forth in its own regulations,» the judge wrote.

La Casa Blanca anunció que el presidente de Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, dará este miércoles a las 21:00 (hora de Washington) una “importante actualización” sobre la guerra en Irán, en un mensaje institucional que se difundirá por los canales oficiales.
Trump declaró el martes desde la Oficina Oval que el retiro de las fuerzas estadounidenses de Irán se concretará “muy pronto, en dos o tres semanas”, en el marco de la ofensiva conjunta con Israel. “Estamos terminando el trabajo”, sostuvo. En paralelo, el primer ministro israelí, Benjamin Netanyahu, aseguró que la operación militar continuará hasta desmantelar la estructura de poder de la república islámica. “La campaña no ha terminado. Seguiremos aplastando al régimen del terror”, afirmó.
Por su parte, el Jefe de Estado iraní, Masud Pezeshkian, señaló que su país tiene la “voluntad” de poner fin a la guerra con Estados Unidos e Israel, aunque exigió garantías para evitar una reanudación del conflicto en caso de un acuerdo de paz. En contraste con esa postura, Teherán lanzó ataques contra el aeropuerto de Kuwait, Arabia Saudita, una embarcación frente a las costas de Qatar, Emiratos Árabes Unidos y Bahréin durante la madrugada.
