High court won’t hear lawsuit over art seized during WWI
WASHINGTON (AP) — Heirs of a renowned Jewish art collector won’t be able use U.S courts to sue Hungary’s government for the return of paintings seized during World War II that are worth millions.
The Supreme Court on Monday said it wouldn’t take the case. That means an appeals court ruling that Hungary is immune from being sued in U.S. courts over the paintings stands.
The family of Baron Mor Lipot Herzog is still pursuing a case in the United States against three museums and a university all run by Hungary.
The family says those institutions together hold about 40 pieces that were Herzog’s but confiscated by Hungary, a wartime ally of Nazi Germany.
The family unsuccessfully tried suing in Hungary before suing in the U.S. in 2010.
Court upholds law denying guns to people in US illegally
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A U.S. appeals court in San Francisco has upheld a law that prohibits people in the country illegally from possessing guns.
A three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled unanimously Tuesday that the law does not violate the Second Amendment right to bear arms.
The judges said immigrants who are armed and in the U.S. illegally could pose a threat to officers trying to remove them.
They also said those immigrants are hard to monitor and have already shown they don't respect the law.
The ruling came in the case of Victor Manuel Torres, a Mexican national who was convicted after officers found a revolver in his backpack.
Couple reunited with engagement ring dropped in sewer
NEW YORK (AP) — Police in New York City say they helped a couple ring in the new year by reuniting them with their missing engagement ring.
NBC New York reports the diamond ring was dropped down a sewer grate Thursday near Times Square.
Officers noticed the ring in a grate on Eighth Avenue and 48th Street and recovered it with the help of the FDNY and a police emergency services unit.
The NYPD says in a tweet the couple was reunited with their ring Friday.
While it was the first engagement ring recovered in 2019, the NYPD found another engagement ring last month that was given back to the couple on "The Ellen Show."
