2+ hour, 57+ min ago (433+ words) CLOSINGS & DELAYS: Loudoun County schools in Virginia opening 2 hours late on Friday. See the full list December 4, 2025, 6:45 PM "The purpose of this administrative stay is to give the court sufficient opportunity to consider the motion for stay pending appeal and should not be construed in any way as a ruling on the merits of that motion," the short notice from the appeals court said. The appeals court's action on a request by the Trump administration stops the implementation of U.S. District Court Judge Jia Cobb's Nov. 20 opinion and order. Cobb had concluded that President Donald Trump's military takeover in Washington, D.C., illegally intrudes on local officials' authority to direct law enforcement in the district. Cobb found that while the president does have authority to protect federal functioning and property, he can't unilaterally deploy the D.C. National Guard to help with crime control as…...

3+ hour, 23+ min ago (351+ words) UPPER MARLBORO, Md. " Prince George's County leaders charted a path forward for the development of data centers in the county. Leaders believe the big tech warehouses open a potential strategy to help address an estimated $200 million budget deficit. However, these proposed projects have faced strong and organized opposition from residents, creating a conflict between economic necessity and community health concerns. The debate was initially ignited by a proposal to build a data center on the site of the old Landover Mall. This plan spurred immediate and widespread pushback from local residents. This summer, Taylor Frazier-McCollum, who lives not far from the proposed site, became one of the leaders of the opposition. She organized a petition and subsequent protests to stop the plan. The public backlash prompted the County Council to pause all data center development. A county task force was then…...

Investigative Reporter Ted Oberg and the News4 I-Team have details the airport didn't want to share about why and how it may have put passengers looking for rides home at risk. Many police officers at Dulles International Airport suddenly were fired or resigned after what the airport calls administrative and criminal investigations.

3+ hour, 53+ min ago (393+ words) CLOSINGS & DELAYS: Schools around the DC region have made changes in their schedules on Friday. See the full list December 4, 2025, 10:49 PM D.C. leaders are urging families to make sure their kids are caught up on back-to-school vaccines, or they'll risk missing class until they are. About 85% of students across the city are in compliance with the requirements, according to D.C. Health Director Ayanna Bennett. But those who aren't will be "temporarily excluded" from school starting Dec. 8, which is the scheduled deadline. The step is particularly critical for students in Pre-K3, kindergarten, seventh and 11th grades, Bennett said. Those are ages at which kids are due for booster shots. "If you get contact with one of these dangerous bacteria or viruses, kids have to be excluded from school for a lot longer than just a few days to get a vaccine appointment," Bennett said....

4+ hour, 48+ min ago (1267+ words) A Maryland man lost his health insurance after the government mistakenly declared him dead, his family told the News4 I-Team. To pay for the dialysis he needed to live, his wife says she spent thousands of dollars out of pocket. Allen Mitchell's headstone says he died on March 10. But according to the government, he died months earlier, in a complication that's been doubly heartbreaking for his family. For years, the I-Team has tracked people who have been mistakenly declared dead. After many federal employees have been terminated in the past year, the problems could be harder to prevent and fix because many government experts are gone, according to experts with the agency. Mitchell was a loving father and husband who was devoted to his two daughters. He loved cars, motorcycles, his pet parrot and his favorite recliner, where he rooted for…...

See the full list December 4, 2025, 9:44 PM For many families, choosing a Christmas tree is a holiday tradition. This weekend is expected to be one of the busiest for tree sellers.

It's a message most wouldn't expect from a landscaping company." "People think rough, maybe a little gritty around the edges," Clime said with a laugh. "They're probably not wrong." RELATED: After 42 years, DC firefighter whose death helped spark nationwide safety change is honored Clime owns Thomas Clime Landscapes, a business more associated with dirt and heavy lifting than heart. But last year, his crew dragged in something they'd found on the street: a stack of 4-by-8 sheets of steel. "I don't know why they picked it up," he said. "I still don't know why they did it." He also can't quite explain what happened next. When he looked at one of the steel sheets, a question hit him:…...

It's an opportunity also for us to connect and reconnect with our members in our communities, especially young people like Lyric, who oftentimes don't have the opportunity to come in contact with law enforcement," Smith said while standing next to the young boy…...
