In 2005, then- District Attorney introduced a controversial proposal to delay prosecution of drug dealers until their third offense. The plan faced swift opposition and was quickly rejected by officials.

Harris' proposal suggested that individuals caught selling narcotics would not face charges until they had been arrested for the same offense at least three times. The idea was part of a broader effort to reform the city's approach to drug , focusing resources on more serious offenders while.

U.S. fighters were scrambled on Wednesday to intercept four Chinese and Russian bombers approaching 's airspace.

The aircraft, comprising two Russian TU-95 “Bear” strategic bombers and two Chinese H-6 “Badger” strategic bombers, were promptly intercepted by U.S. and Canadian Air Force jets. These interceptors escorted the bombers until they exited the ADIZ, ensuring no violation of U.S. airspace.

Joint Operations

The Russian Air Force frequently conducts such operations, with flights occurring almost monthly. However, Wednesday's joint operation with highlights a growing cooperation between the two nations' military forces in the region.

“Make no mistake, this is an escalation – the first time  and China have sent a joint bomber taskforce into the Alaska ADIZ,” Sen. Dan Sullivan (R-Alaska) said, according to The Washington Times.

“Fortunately, our brave military members working closely with our Canadian allies were ready, conducting joint operations to intercept these bombers.”

Mr. Sullivan said the Arctic is a critical zone of strategic competition for the , Russia and China.

“As I have been warning our Pentagon leaders for years, these kinds of joint Russia and China incursions on the sea and in the air near Alaska will continue,” he said.

The Pentagon needs to build up military forces and infrastructure in the region to protect the Arctic and the Indo-Pacific region he said.

Russian bombers frequently fly into the U.S. and Canadian air defense zones in what military analysts say are attempts to test air defenses.

But the presence of Chinese bombers here hasn't been reported before.
