May 1 is the priority deadline to apply if you’d like to start classes at AU this fall through the .

“The idea is really to make the transfer process much more streamlined, affordable, straightforward for students coming into AU,” university President Jonathan Alger told WTOP. “For the first time, we have community college transfer students that can receive up to 50% tuition support, and the ability to transfer up to 75 credits towards their AU degree.”

To be eligible, a student must have earned at least 30 credits at an accredited community college and have a GPA of at least 3.0.

As part of the university’s five-year strategic plan launched in January, the school is to better ensure that its graduates are prepared for “meaningful lives and careers.”

The school is also promising to give every undergraduate student access to up to $4,500 toward a paid internship or research experience.

Through the American Transfer Advantage initiative, transfer students will get orientation specifically designed for them. Also, those transferring after the fall 2026 semester will get pre-enrollment help.

“Students will have access to our advising even before they step foot on our campus,” said Evelyn Thimba, AU’s vice president for undergraduate enrollment management.

Eventually, AU plans to create an even more streamlined “direct entry” process for students with two-year associate’s degrees.

“We know that students who begin their studies at a community college and earn their associate degree, and then transfer to a four-year college are more likely to graduate from that four-year college,” Thimba said.

So far, she said, more than 600 students have applied to transfer to AU this fall, and more than 250 of them are eligible for the new transfer program.

Thimba said she expects a bunch of additional applications to come in just before the deadline.

Lee and a friend raised enough money to buy a used vehicle, then flew to England in February to join the convoy organized by a nonprofit founded by a British man who was 17 when the war began.

On Feb. 14, Lee joined others in delivering 18 vehicles to Lviv, an 1,800-mile journey across Europe.

鈥淚 am Slavic, a second-generation American, and I wanted so much to be able to do more than just give money,鈥� Lee told WTOP.

At times, she said, it was a nerve-wracking experience.

鈥淲hen we were dropping the vehicles off in Lviv, which is on the western side of Ukraine, we had multiple air attacks, and I saw the military quickly erecting these turrets, which I later understood were gun turrets, because they have to try to knock the incoming drones that are going to, about to kill them, out of the air,鈥� Lee said.

At the military warehouse where the convoy left the vehicles, she found people working in harsh conditions.

鈥淭here basically almost was no electricity, there was no heat, there was a fire burning in a big barrel,鈥� Lee said.

Driving Ukraine coordinated the logistics, and Lee said the only part she had to handle alone was walking back across the border from Ukraine into Poland. It wasn鈥檛 the walk she was concerned about, but getting through the checkpoint; she said it went as planned.

According to Driving Ukraine, the nonprofit has organized 56 convoys since the war began, with the 57th convoy scheduled to leave the United Kingdom for Lviv on Saturday.

The person who received Lee鈥檚 vehicle was a drone pilot who uses the drones both for defense and to deliver food and water to soldiers on the front lines.

Lee said the experience was 鈥減robably the most important thing that I have ever done鈥� and said she will be doing it again. She also encouraged others to join the effort.

鈥淚’m a 64, almost 65-year-old woman who never did anything like this before in my life, and you can do it,鈥� Lee said.

would strengthen the enforcement of court orders to protect victims, strengthen pretrial detention of domestic violence offenders, enhance accountability for offenders and protect victim and survivor privacy, according to Mayor Muriel Bowser, who announced the legislation Friday alongside U.S. Attorney for D.C. Jeanine Pirro.

The bill would also make聽repeat violations of temporary and civil protection orders a felony, give more authority to the courts to detain people charged with domestic violence offenses, make unlawful entry a felony in cases where an accused offender enters a home to commit an assault, and create a new crime for particular offenses committed in the presence of a child.

Pirro said she was surprised to learn D.C. did not have a separate charge in cases where domestic violence takes place in the presence of a child.

“We’ve got to make that a crime, because there is no question that the consequences are long-term in terms of that child learning that violence is the only way to resolve conflict in their lives based upon what they are seeing between their parents or intimate partners,” Pirro said.

Pirro also said she’d like to see enhanced sentencing for offenders who strangle their partners.

“Right now, my office has filed 90 felony strangulation cases,” she said, adding that her office was on track to “file 360 before the end of the year.”

Pirro said while strangulation was recategorized as a felony from a misdemeanor 鈥� as a result of the Secure D.C. Act 鈥� the sentencing guidelines remain, in her view, low.

“When someone strangles an intimate partner, they’re 800% more likely to kill that person in the future,” Pirro said.

At the opening of his remarks, Interim D.C. Police Chief Jeffery Carroll said there have been a string of domestic violence cases recently that have ended in murder and/or suicide.

“And just this past Tuesday night, a suspect shot and wounded his former girlfriend and another man, before taking his own life,” Carroll said. “Although violent crime is down, domestic offenses are fueling an increase in assault with dangerous weapons, which are up 36%.”

He also highlighted a called “Know DV.”

“We want every resident to know the signs of domestic violence and know the resources that are available,” he said. “The message to the survivors is clear: know that you are not alone.”

Natalia Otero, executive director of spoke at Friday’s announcement.

“We’ve seen what happens when systems move too slowly, and what it costs survivors when patterns of violence go unaddressed,” she said.

Otero said her organization, D.C.’s only 24/7 crisis intervention agency for domestic violence, has been pushing for years for measures such as those in the Protecting Victims Act of 2026.

She called the proposed legislation “a critical step in supporting survivors and saving lives.”

Referencing a series of lethal domestic violence cases, including that of Dr. Cerina Fairfax, who was killed by her husband, former Virginia Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax, Otero said, “The general public, once again, has been witness to the devastation that intimate partner violence can cause. It is pervasive and exists across socioeconomic lines and across every neighborhood, and it is our responsibility to solve it.”

Bowser said she will be with members of the D.C. Council, working with them to schedule hearings and quickly move the legislation forward.

A Republican member of Congress is raising some eyebrows in Northern Virginia with his push to make Arlington and Alexandria a part of D.C., taking 400,000 residents’ votes away from the more politically competitive Virginia and lumping them in with the already deep-blue District.

Georgia Rep. Rich McCormick introduced the on the heels of Virginia’s special election Tuesday on a gerrymandered map that could give Democrats a 10-1 seat advantage in the House of Representatives and potentially tip the balance of power in the congressional chamber.

Voters approved the new map by about 100,000 votes, with 98% of the total vote counted as of Friday evening. However, a judge blocked Virginia from certifying those results and enacting the new congressional map.

McCormick’s bill would return the two Virginia jurisdictions back to D.C., as it was until the 1840s.

Until then, President George Washington had designed D.C. to be a near perfect 10-mile square.

McCormick said his bill would put an end to the redistricting debate in the commonwealth.

鈥淭hat has warped the system since then. If you think about it, that’s what’s caused all this consternation,鈥� McCormick said in a social media video. 鈥淕ive back Virginia exactly what it should have, give D.C. what it should have, and get this thing right.鈥�

WTOP asked some residents who were enjoying a beautiful late Thursday afternoon at the waterfront in Old Town Alexandria about the plan, which caused many to scratch their heads.

鈥淣o, no, no, no, that’s not fair,鈥� Amanda Tucker said. 鈥淗e only wants to because it didn’t go the way that he wanted to go. So my vote, of course, no.鈥�

Tucker’s significant other, Terrence Augustus, admitted he was caught off guard.

鈥淚 had to think about that. I really don’t know,鈥� Augustus said. 鈥淲hen we were talking about Maryland, I would say no.鈥�

As the two talked it over, Augustus pointed out D.C. and Virginia have 鈥渁 logical separation.鈥�

鈥淭he bridge and everything else in the Potomac River, leave it in Virginia and not back in D.C.,” Augustus said.

As the couple enjoyed the rest of the evening at Waterfront Park, people were having dinner outside at nearby restaurants. Others were playing with their kids and walking their dogs, including Terri, who was with her 130-pound Great Pyrenees.

鈥淚 lived in D.C. for three years prior, and you seem to have the same demographic here that is in D.C. 鈥� which is not a pro, that鈥檚 not a con, that鈥檚 just a neutral statement,鈥� Terri said.

Terri, who was aware Arlington and Alexandria were once part of the District, didn鈥檛 think she could answer if they should return.

鈥淚 don’t know how long I’m going to be staying here,鈥� Terri said. 鈥淚 do like it here. 鈥� It’s great, and it’s a very dog-friendly community.鈥�

Walking from where the water taxi dropped and picked people up was Carla Thomas, who said on this topic, she had 鈥渟kin in the game.鈥�

鈥淢y family 鈥� has been here since there was a D.C.,鈥� Thomas said. 鈥淚ndentured people came to St. Mary’s, married African American freed women.鈥�

Thomas said she has lived all around the D.C. region 鈥� from being born in D.C., growing up in Montgomery County, Maryland, and now calling Alexandria home.

鈥淚’m a liberal Democrat, and I think that this is an important pocket in Northern Virginia that I wouldn’t like to see ceded back to D.C., because it would dilute the political strength of Democrats in this commonwealth,鈥� Thomas said.

Director of the D.C. Department of Transportation Sharon Kershbaum said the structure of the tunnel and its steel beams are secure.

“There was, however, significant heat, and that meant that all of the tiles on the ceiling and the walls actually fell to the ground,” Kershbaum said “So overnight, we cleared all of the debris, and there are still a number of tiles and elements of concrete that are loose, and we are focused on removing any of the hanging and loose concrete and tile to make sure that when we open it up, we don’t have to worry about things falling on the vehicles.”

Two lanes of the tunnel were supposed to reopen at 5 p.m., DDOT initially said. They were reopened just before 6 p.m.

“When it comes to traffic, seldom does anything happen on schedule and when it comes to a bus fire in a tunnel, there are a multitude of unforeseen problems that can delay the recovery,” WTOP Traffic reporter Dave Dildine said.

The right lane will remain closed for lighting repairs until further notice. DDOT advised drivers to remain alert.

“There was a large segment where all of the lights were damaged, so for about 150 feet around where the fire occurred, we are currently putting conduit in so we can get the lighting restored,” she said. “The concrete or the asphalt underneath the fire also was damaged. We’ve patched that and we’re putting down temporary striping.”

While the tunnel partially reopened Friday evening, more work will need to be done to get the tunnel completely back to normal.

“Restoring all of the tile face, the lighting, cameras, that can be done over time, so it’s not considered an urgent repair, but it will be somewhat of a lift,” Kershbaum said.

The sounds of construction crews could be heard Friday morning inside the tunnel, just a few hundred feet from where the hybrid diesel bus that caught fire came to rest, under the C St. SW overpass.

The bus caught fire in the tunnel at approximately 7 p.m. The driver was not injured and no one else was riding the bus when the fire started, according to Metro.

Metro General Manager and CEO Randy Clarke said Thursday evening that all 32 of the fleet鈥檚 hybrid diesel buses would be removed from service and inspected.

A three-judge panel from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit found that immigration laws give people the right to apply for , and the president can鈥檛 circumvent that.

The court opinion stems from action taken by Trump on Inauguration Day 2025, when he declared that the situation at the southern border constituted an invasion of America and that he was 鈥渟uspending the physical entry鈥� of migrants and their ability to seek asylum until he decides it is over.

The panel concluded that the to remove the plaintiffs under 鈥減rocedures of his own making,鈥� allow him to suspend plaintiffs鈥� right to apply for asylum or curtail procedures for adjudicating their anti-torture claims.

鈥淭he power by proclamation to temporarily suspend the entry of specified foreign individuals into the United States does not contain implicit authority to override the INA鈥檚 mandatory process to summarily remove foreign individuals,鈥� wrote Judge J. Michelle Childs, who was nominated to the bench by Democratic President Joe Biden.

鈥淲e conclude that the INA鈥檚 text, structure, and history make clear that in supplying power to suspend entry by Presidential proclamation, Congress did not intend to grant the Executive the expansive removal authority it asserts,鈥� the opinion said.

White House says asylum ban was within Trump’s powers

The administration can ask the full appeals court to reconsider the ruling or go to the Supreme Court.

The order doesn鈥檛 formally take effect until after the court considers any request to reconsider.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt, speaking on Fox 太子探花, said she had not seen the ruling but called it 鈥渦nsurprising,鈥� blaming politically-motivated judges.

鈥淭hey are not acting as true litigators of the law. They are looking at these cases from a political lens,鈥� she said.

Leavitt said Trump was taking actions that are 鈥渃ompletely within his powers as commander in chief.鈥�

White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson said the Department of Justice would seek further review of the decision. 鈥淲e are sure we will be vindicated,鈥� she wrote in an emailed statement.

The Department of Homeland Security said it strongly disagreed with the ruling.

鈥淧resident Trump鈥檚 top priority remains the screening and vetting of all aliens seeking to come, live, or work in the United States,鈥� DHS said in a statement.

Advocates welcome the ruling

Aaron Reichlin-Melnick, senior fellow at the American Immigration Council, said that previous legal action had already paused the asylum ban, and the ruling won鈥檛 change much on the ground.

The ruling, however, represents another legal defeat for a centerpiece policy of the president.

鈥淭his confirms that President Trump cannot on his own bar people from seeking asylum, that it is Congress that has mandated that asylum seekers have a right to apply for asylum and the President cannot simply invoke his authority to sustain,鈥� said Reichlin-Melnick.

Advocates say the right to request asylum is enshrined in the country鈥檚 immigration law and say denying migrants that right puts people fleeing war or persecution in grave danger.

Lee Gelernt, attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union, who argued the case, said in a statement that the appellate ruling is 鈥渆ssential for those fleeing danger who have been denied even a hearing to present asylum claims under the Trump administration鈥檚 unlawful and inhumane executive order.鈥�

Las Americas Immigrant Advocacy Center, one of the plaintiffs in the lawsuit, welcomed the court decision as a victory for their clients.

鈥淭oday鈥檚 DC Circuit ruling affirms that capricious actions by the President cannot supplant the rule of law in the United States,鈥� said Nicolas Palazzo, director of advocacy and legal Services at Las Americas.

Judge Justin Walker, a Trump nominee, wrote a partial dissent. He said the law gives immigrants protections against removal to countries where they would be persecuted, but the administration can issue broad denials of asylum applications.

Walker, however, agreed with the majority that the president cannot deport migrants to countries where they will be persecuted or strip them of mandatory procedures that protect against their removal.

Judge Cornelia Pillard, who was nominated by Democratic President Barack Obama, also heard the case.

In the executive order, Trump argued that the Immigration and Nationality Act gives presidents the authority to suspend entry of any group that they find 鈥渄etrimental to the interests of the United States.鈥�

The executive order also suspended the ability of migrants to ask for asylum.

Trump鈥檚 order was another blow to asylum access in the U.S., which was severely curtailed under the Biden administration, although under Biden some pathways for protections for a limited number of asylum seekers at the southern border continued.

Migrant advocate in Mexico expresses cautious hope

For Josue Martinez, a psychologist who works at a small migrant shelter in southern Mexico, the ruling marked a potential 鈥渓ight at the end of the tunnel鈥� for many migrants who once hoped to seek asylum in the U.S. but ended up stuck in vulnerable conditions in Mexico.

鈥淚 hope there鈥檚 something more concrete, because we鈥檝e heard this kind of news before: A district judge files an appeal, there鈥檚 a temporary hold, but it鈥檚 only temporary and then it鈥檚 over,鈥� he said.

Meanwhile, migrants from Haiti, Cuba, Venezuela and other countries have struggled to make ends meet as they try to seek refuge in Mexico鈥檚 asylum system that鈥檚 all but collapsed under the weight of new strains and slashed international funds.

This week hundreds of migrants, mostly stranded migrants from Haiti, left the southern Mexican city of Tapachula on foot to seek better living conditions elsewhere in Mexico.
