The Federal Communications Commission announced July 28 that it has banned two new categories of devices: “Advanced robotic devices” and connected power inverters produced in foreign countries. According to the FCC, “robotic devices” includes mobile robots, such as humanoids and quadrupeds, and devices “capable of locomotion, obstacle avoidance, navigation, or movement on the ground.”

Yes, that means Roombas and other robot vacuums may be considered illegal if they’re produced outside of the United States of America.

SINGAPORE – The authorities are investigating reports that a bagel seasoning containing poppy seeds, which are prohibited goods, is being sold in Singapore on online platforms.

The product from the US, called Trader Joe’s Everything But The Bagel, has poppy seeds listed among its ingredients.

A spokesperson for the Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB), in response to queries from The Straits Times, said on Aug 7 that it is investigating the reports and will take the necessary actions, including removing the items from sale.

Poppy seeds are classified as prohibited goods by CNB because they come from the opium poppy and can contain traces of controlled drugs, said the spokesperson.

The legislation provided a modest boost to councilmembers’ annual income — from $164,500 to $175,500 — and a sizable 18% increase for the mayor. If welcomed, Mamdani’s salary would rise from $258,750 to $305,800, a difference that’s greater than the average income in the Bronx.

The last pay hike for N.Y.C. officials came in 2016 and costs have risen more than 30% since then, which served as justification for the city council to move forward with a salary adjustment.

MINNETONKA, Minn. — Hennepin County confirms two people were arrested by ICE agents who were waiting outside courtrooms in Minnetonka Monday. 

A spokesperson said more than a dozen federal agents were deployed in a waiting area outside the courtrooms at the Ridgedale Service Center and took the two people into custody. The county did not provide details on why they were arrested.

"Under federal law, ICE agents have the authority to enforce immigration laws anywhere within the United States. Hennepin County facilities, including courthouses, including spaces that are open to the public, including federal, state, and local law enforcement agents who may be performing their official duties," read a statement shared with KARE 11.

The statement clarifies that there are Hennepin County facilities that are non-public, like employee workspaces or secure areas, that are not accessible to federal authorities without a warrant or "proper authorization."

Hennepin County also affirmed its commitment to "maintaining a safe and accessible environment for everyone who uses our facilities, including residents, employees and visitors," noting the importance of balancing public safety with the protection of individual rights.

KARE 11 has reached out to federal authorities at the Department of Homeland Security for additional details on the incident, and will update this story if or when the department responds.
