First Kenyan police officer dies in Haiti in battle with gangs BY JACQUELINE CHARLES jcnmw@miamwmaw.com The multinational secu- rity support mission in Haiti suffered its first casu- alty Sunday after a Kenyan police officer died from injuries that he sustained during an anti -gang oper- ation north of the capital, the mission said. The incident occurred in the lower Artibonite region in Segur-Savien during an operation in the town of Pont Sonde. "The officer was immediately airlifted to Aspen Level 2 Hospital but, unfortunately, suc- cumbed to the injuries," the mission said. Hundreds of Kenyan police are in Haiti, along with a smattering of offi- cers and soldiers from Caribbean countries, as part of the Multinational Security Support mission to help the Haitian police combat gangs that control about 90% of the capital. Jack Ombaka, spokes- man for the Kenyan -led mission, said the officer "died a hero." Over the past week, Kenyan police officers have been conducting continuous security oper- ations in the Lower Artibo- nite, where they were "suc- cessfully neutralizing sev- eral gangs," he said. "In response, the resi- dents of Seguin in Pont - Sonde called for similar action in their area. An- swering their plea, our brave Kenyan officers responded withouthes- itation," Ombaka said in a statement. "This is the price our courageous offi- cer paid— he was killed while fighting for the peo- ple of Haiti." After the officer was shot, fellow officers pur- sued and killed the gang member responsible, Om- baka said. "We will pursue these gangs to the last man standing. We will not let you down," he added. The shooting prompted a quick response from the El Salvador Casualty Evac- uation team, which arrived in Port-au-Prince this month with three hel- icopters to aide the mission with medical evacuations. They "did everything possible to save our offi- cer's life," Ombaka said. Workers are fired at traffic safety agency investigating Musk's Testa car company BY JACK EWING NYT News Servke The federal agency responsible for traffic safety, which has been investigating whether self -driving technology in Testa vehicles played a role in the death of aped- estrian, laid off 4% of its employees on Monday, a Transportation Depart- ment spokesperson said Saturday. The traffic safety agen- cy did not say whether any of its fired employees were involved in investi- gations of Testa, whose CEO, Elon Musk, is lead- ing a team at the so-called Department of Govem- ment Efficiency establish- ed by President Donald frump. Musk's team has been forcing layoffs at numer- ous government agencies as part of an effort to re- shape the federal bureau- cracy. Musk has retained control of Testa while spending much of his time in Washington. The National Highway Traffic Safety Adminis- tration has three active investigations of Testa, according to agency docu- ments, including one ex- amining whether the com- pany's autonomous driv- ing software is prone to failure when visibility is poor. The layoffs at the traffic safety agency, which has fewer than 1,000 employ- swc coca Avsisxty Images,.

Even after the layoffs, the agency continues to em- ploy more people than at the beginning of the Eiden administration, the agency said in a statement. "The last administration grew NHTSA by a whop- ping 30 percent," the agency said in a state- ment.m"We have retained posi- tions critical to the mis- sion of saving lives, pre- venting injuries, and re- ducing economic costs due to road traffic crash- es," the agency said. "We will continue to enforce the law on all manufactur- ers of motor vehicles and equipment." Testa did not respond to a request for comment. One of theinvestiga- lions into Testa is based on four accidents involv- ing technology that the carmaker calls supervised full self -driving, which can steer, brake and navigate Testa cars in some sit- uations. In one of the crashes, a Testa struck and killed a pedestrian, ac- cording to agency docu- ments. In another of the accidents, a person was injured. Tesla's self -driving technology relies on cam - ems to survey a car's sur- roundings, in contrast with competitors like Waymo, a unit of the same company as Google, that also uses lasers and radar to recognize objects. The traffic safety agen- cy has been looking into whether Tesla's tech- nology failed when visibil- ity was poor because of glare from the sun, or because of fog or dust Musk has often argued that Testa self -driving technology is safer than human drivers. The technology is also crucial to Tesla's future and share price. As Testa sales have flagged, falling 1% last year even as the global market for electric vehicles rose 25%, Musk has shifted the company's focus to autonomous driv- ing technology and plans fora self -driving taxi. The technology will help make Testa the mostvalu- able company in the world by far, Musk told investors last month. FROM PAGE 1A DOGE sunset after one year, he said. "This is the DOGE-ing of our state university system, and I trunk ifs going to be good for taxpayers and ifs ultimately going to be good for students as well," De - Santis said at a press confer- ence Tampa. He also said he wants to "do a DOGE on some of these local govem- mnts." Musk's federal ad -hoc group, a quest to root out fraud and waste, has moved to fire more than 200,000 federal employees and left trillions of dollars in federal grant spending in limbo. The billionaire tech titan's government role has also raised questions about potential conflicts of in- terest Critics said the new Flor- ida program will lead to turmoil and result in the dismantling of essential programs. Rep. Anna Eskamani, D-Orlando, also said it was "laughable" fora Repub- lican govemor whose party has been in power for dec- ades to claim a sudden need to make state govem- ment more efficient "Let's be clear. the Re- publican Party has dom- inated our state govem- ment for nearly 30 years, and any inefficiencies are a direct result of their long- standing mismanagement," she said in a statement. "Emulating the disorder seen in federal mismanage- ment under figures like Eton Musk is not only mis- guided but dangerous for r state's future," Eskama- ni added. Polls show Musk's ad hoc group is increasingly not popular. Republican mem- bers of Congress across the country faced angry constit- uents at town halls over the last week with concems about the thousands of federal jobs slashed and federal grants and spending in limbo. DeSantis said he doesn't think Florida's government is as bloated as the federal govemment, adding that his administration had already been "DOGE before DOGE was cool." Using AI, Florida's DOGE task force "can show up in a county, and they can audit and they can use AI to be able to do some of the things that we're Being at the federal level," DeSantis said. AI can also examine whether governments or contracts have diversity, equity and inclusion provi- si ons, he said. "Maybe they know ways around it, people use differ- ent language," he said. "AI picks up on that, flags it for and then we could put the kibosh on it." The task force would conducta deep dive of all facets of university oper- ations and spending, in- cluding debt and financial - management practices, including "examining courses, programming and staff," he added. "Some of the ideological study stuff, we just want to prone that and get that out," he said. "We want to make sure that these uni- versities are really serving the classical mission of what a university should be, and that's not to impose ideology. It's really to teach students how to think and to prepare them to be citi- zens of our republic." 0000D 000ME A REGULARLY SCHEDULED MEETING OF THE MIAMI CITY COMMISSION WILL BE HELD ON MARCH 13, 2025 AT 9:00AM IN THE CITY COMMISSION CHAMBERS LOCATED AT MIAMI CITY HALL 3500 PAN AMERICAN DRIVE, MIAMI, FLORIDA33133.
