The men allegedly threatened staff with arrest if they made them wear masks.

Two men face federal charges after allegedly posing as U.S. marshals at a Florida resort and threatening hotel staff with arrest if they made them wear masks, a criminal complaint claims.

Walter Wayne Brown Jr., 53, and Gary Brummett, 81, were arrested Feb. 11 on charges of impersonating a federal officer.

Broward Sheriff's Office deputies responded to the Wyndham Deerfield Beach Resort in Deerfield Beach earlier that day after hotel staff reported they were suspicious of two men who identified themselves as U.S. marshals.

Brown and Brummett allegedly claimed they were medically exempt from a hotel policy requiring that they wear masks -- and flashed laminated cards indicating their exemption, according to a criminal complaint.

When a manager asked Brummett on Feb. 11 to wear a mask to comply with the public health guidelines, Brummett allegedly pointed to his belt badge and said, "Do you know what this means? I'm a 'U.S. Marshal' and can have you arrested if you force me to wear a mask," according to the complaint.

Over the previous two days, Brown allegedly told hotel staff enforcing the policy on two separate occasions that he was a federal agent and "did not have to wear a mask," according to the complaint. He also allegedly told the manager he was exempt due to a medical condition and could have him arrested if forced to wear a mask.

Hotel employees, including a front desk agent whose cousin is a U.S. marshal, found it strange that federal agents would take issue with wearing a mask, and the manager contacted authorities to corroborate the claims, according to the complaint.

Responding deputies found Brown and Brummett dining together "wearing authentic appearing circular badges on their belts with a seven-point star that read 'Cherokee Nation Marshal' along the circle and 'Aniyvwiya Criminal Justice Deputy' within the star," the criminal complaint alleges.

They also allegedly wore laminated cards with the title "FACEMASK EXEMPT NOTICE/CARD" that stated, "l am exempt from any ordinance requiring face mask usage in public. ... Wearing a face mask poses a mental and/or physical risk to me. Under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), I am not required to disclose my condition to you."

Brown and Brummett have never been employees of the U.S. Marshals Service, nor the Cherokee Nation Marshal Service, according to the complaint.

The pair are on a marshal's hold at the Joseph V. Conte Facility in Pompano Beach. They have a detention hearing scheduled for Friday and will be arraigned on Feb. 26, court records show.

ABC News has reached out to their attorneys for comment.

A Tennessee canine won't have to worry about living a dog's life after its owner recently died

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- It won't be a dog's life for a Tennessee canine whose owner recently died.

Lulu, an 8-year-old border collie, will be living the good life in Nashville after inheriting $5 million in her owner's will, WTVF-TV reported.

Martha Burton, Lulu's caretaker, told the station Lulu's owner, Bill Dorris, was a successful businessman who wasn't married and died late last year. His will states the money should be put into a trust for Lulu's care. It allows for Burton to be reimbursed for reasonable monthly expenses in the care of Lulu.

"He just really loved the dog," said Burton, who was friends with Dorris and would take care of the dog when he traveled.

She says she doesn't know if she could ever spend $5 million on Lulu.

"Well, I'd like to try," she said with a smile.

Dorris owned land along Interstate 65 where a controversial statue of Confederate Gen. Nathan Bedford Forrest is located. The fate of the statue and the rest of the estate may be determined in probate court, the news outlet reported.

Republicans are coming out and condemning Donald Trump publicly amid his lingering impeachment trial.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
WASHINGTON - After remaining relatively reticent for two months regarding former President Donald Trump's baseless claims that his 2020 election loss was the result of voter fraud, former Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley sharply rebuked the president she once served.

In an interview published Friday, Haley said Republicans never should have allowed Trump to take them down the road that led to the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.

"We need to acknowledge he let us down," Haley told Politico less than a week after the attack. "He went down a path he shouldn't have, and we shouldn't have followed him, and we shouldn't have listened to him. And we can't let that ever happen again."

The former South Carolina governor, who is widely expected to run for president in 2024, also boldly predicted that Trump has no future in the GOP after the deadly riot in which Trump supporters tried to stop the count of Electoral College votes.

"He's not going to run for federal office again," Haley said. "I don't think he's going to be in the picture."
Timeline: How the storming of the U.S. Capitol unfolded on Jan. 6
She added, "I don't think he can. He's fallen so far."

Despite those harsh words for her former boss, Haley defended the president on Fox News less than two weeks after her condemnations in the Jan. 12 Politico interview.

Haley told host Laura Ingraham on Jan. 25 that while Trump's reaction to his defeat was "not his finest," he should not have been impeached for allegedly inciting the mob that attacked the Capitol.

"What happened on Jan. 6 was not great. Does he deserve to be impeached? Absolutely not. I don't even think there's a basis for impeachment," she said. "They beat him up before he got into office. They're beating him up after he leaves office. At some point, I mean, give the man a break."

That assessment was in sharp contrast to her earlier statements to Politico. In that interview, she said shwas particularly outraged by Trump's attacks on Vice President Mike Pence for not having the "courage" to use his role of presiding over the Jan. 6 vote count to block the certification of the result - an ability he did not have in his largely ceremonial role. Trump continued to attack Pence on Twitter even as the mob violently breached the Capitol amid calls to "hang Mike Pence."

"When I tell you I'm angry, it's an understatement," Haley told Politico. "Mike has been nothing but loyal to that man."
Life after Donald Trump o: GOP tries to move forward under shadow of deadly Capitol Hill riot
Her statements in that interview reflected some of the sharpest criticisms yet of Trump's post-election behavior from a prominent Republican and a more stinging rebuke than her words to a gathering of the Republican National Committee the day after the riot at the Capitol.

"President Trump has not always chosen the right words. He was wrong with his words in Charlottesville, and I told him so at the time," she said at the Jan. 7 RNC meeting, referring to Trump's assertion there were "fine people, on both sides" of the 2017 clash between white nationalists and counter-protesters. She said Trump "was badly wrong with his words yesterday," adding, "And it wasn't just his words. His actions since Election Day will be judged harshly by history."

She acknowledged that Trump had irrevocably altered the Republican Party and said she hoped the GOP could "take the good that he built, leave the bad that he did, and get back to a place where we can be a good, valuable, effective party."

Her rebukes of the former president after Jan. 6 contrast with the more permissive attitude she took toward Trump's unfounded election fraud claims prior to the deadly riot.

When asked in December about Trump's persistent election falsehoods, Haley defended Trump's rhetoric on the grounds that the president truly believed he was the victim of a conspiracy to rob him of the White House, despite the lack of evidence to support his conviction.

"I understand the president. I understand that genuinely, to his core, he believes he was wronged," Haley told Politico at the time. "This is not him making it up."
By the numbers: President Donald Trump's failed efforts to overturn the election
When asked if she thought his effort to undermine the public's faith in American democracy was dangerous, Haley smiled and replied, "He believes it."

"At the time, I didn't think that was dangerous," Haley now concedes. "I didn't think that there was anything to fear about him. There was nothing to fear about him when I worked for him. I mean, he may have been brash. He may have been blunt. But he was someone who cared about the country."

But since Trump's loss to now-President Joe Biden, Haley said, she has been "deeply disturbed by what's happened to him."

"I don't feel like I know who he is anymore," she said. "The person that I worked with is not the person that I have watched since the election."

Violence, discrimination, and hate crimes towards Asians and Asian-Americans have increased exponentially since the start of the pandemic. In the past week, there have been several hate crimes towards elderly Asian-Americans. One even resulting in the death of an elderly Thai man in San Francisco. Russell Jeung, chair of the Asian American studies department at San Francisco State University, stated, "When President Trump began and insisted on using the term, 'China virus', we saw that hate speech really led to hate violence."

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A series of violent crimes against Asians and Asian Americans has prompted activists and experts to warn that racist rhetoric about the coronavirus pandemic may be fueling a rise in hate incidents.

Police in Oakland, California, announced this week that they arrested a suspect in connection with a brutal attack of a 91-year-old man in Chinatown that was caught on camera. In less than a week, a Thai man was attacked and killed in San Francisco, a Vietnamese woman was assaulted and robbed of $1,000 in San Jose, and a Filipino man was attacked with a box cutter on the subway in New York City.

It's unclear whether the crimes were racially motivated, but advocates calling for more to be done to address violence against Asian Americans say racist crimes against the community are historically underreported for a variety of reasons.

Meanwhile, police departments across the country are warning residents of increased crime around Lunar New Year, in part because of the threat of robberies during the multi-day celebrations that begin Friday. Cash is a customary gift.
Lunar New Year 2021: What does the ox symbolize, and how will it be celebrated during COVID-19 pandemic?
Violence against Asian Americans sharply increased in March as COVID-19 began spreading across the country, and some politicians, including former President Donald Trump, blamed China for the pandemic, said Russell Jeung, who created a tool that tracks hate incidents against Asian American Pacific Islander communitiescalled the Stop AAPI Hate tracker.

"When President Trump began and insisted on using the term 'China virus,' we saw that hate speech really led to hate violence," said Jeung, chair of the Asian American studies department at San Francisco State University. "That sort of political rhetoric and that sort of anti-Asian climate has continued to this day."

Acts of racist violence lead to increased anxiety and fear in a population that already has higher rates of anxiety and depression related to COVID-19 than other racial groups, Jeung said.

Stop AAPI Hate, Jeung's website, which includes a self-reporting tool for harassment, discrimination and violent attacks, recorded 2,808 incidents of anti-Asian discrimination across the U.S. from its inception on March 19 to Dec. 31, 2020. Another organization, Asian Americans Advancing Justice - Asian American Justice Center, recorded more than 3,000 hate incidents in their self-reporting system since late April 2020 - by far the highest number in the tool's four-year history.

The FBI collects national hate crime data, but data for 2020 and 2021 has not yet been released. Two hundred sixteen anti-Asian hate crimes were reported in 2019, according to the latest data available.

That number may be just a fraction of the true total given that fewer than half of the victims of a hate crime ever report it to the police, according to data from the Bureau of Justice Statistics.

Jeung said the increase in hate incidents is a particular concern in urban areas. In New York City, police data shows there were 24 anti-Asian hate crimes related to the coronavirus between Jan. 1 and Nov. 29, 2020, compared with just three anti-Asian hate crimes in the same period in 2019.

"This increase was cultivated due to the anti-Asian rhetoric about the virus that was publicized, and individuals began to attack Asian New Yorkers, either verbal attack or physical assault," Chief of Detectives Rodney Harrison told reporters in August.
'We just want to be safe':Hate crimes, harassment of Asian Americans rise amid coronavirus pandemic
The spike in hate crimes led the NYPD to create an Asian Hate Crimes Task Force.

Activists including Amanda Nguyễn, co-founder of Rise, a sexual assault survivor advocacy organization, are raising awareness of the Oakland case and the other violent incidents involving Asian Americans. Nguyễn said she created an Instagram video about the attacks, which has since gone viral, because she was angered not only by the violence but by the lack of media attention the cases received.

"When I made that video I was tired of living in fear and I wanted to scream," she told USA TODAY. "It's so absurd that I have to say 'Stop killing us.' ... We are literally fearing for our lives as we walk out of our door, and your silence, your silence rings through our heads."

In the Oakland assault, the district attorney's office is investigating whether there is enough evidence to support hate crime charges, Alameda County District Attorney Nancy O'Malley said in a statement to USA TODAY.

The suspect in the Oakland assault, Yahya Muslim, was charged with three counts of assault, inflicting great bodily injury and committing a crime against an elderly person, O'Malley announced at a news conference Monday.

Police said Muslim is believed to have attacked a 60-year-old man and a 55-year-old woman the same day of the Chinatown attack.

Meanwhile, actors Daniel Dae Kim and Daniel Wu offered a $25,000 reward for information leading to an arrest in the case and are donating that money to community organizations like Stop AAPI Hate.

"The skyrocketing number of hate crimes against Asian Americans continues to grow, despite our repeated pleas for help," they said on Twitter. "The crimes ignored and even excused."

On Jan. 28, Vicha Ratanapakdee was attacked and later died in San Francisco. Eric Lawson, his son-in-law, told USA TODAYhe believes the 84-year-old was targeted because he was Asian. Lawson adde that his wife, who is Thai, was verbally assaulted twice and told to "go back to China" before the attack.

"Everyone is dancing around the issue, and no one's addressing it," he said.

San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin filed murder and elder abuse charges against Antoine Watson, but his office has "no evidence of what motivated this senseless attack," spokesperson Rachel Marshall told USA TODAY.

In San Jose, a 64-year-old Vietnamese woman was assaulted last Wednesday and robbed of $1,000 in cash she had withdrawn for the holiday. No arrest has been made, and there is no indication the robbery was race-related, said public information officer Sgt. Christian Camarillo.

That same day in New York, 61-year-old Noel Quintana, who is of reportedly Filipino descent, was slashed in the face with a box cutter on the subway. Spokesperson Detective Sophia Mason told USA TODAY police were investigating but did not answer questions about whether the incident may have been motivated by race.

Although it's unclear whether the particular cases are racially motivated, they are certainly "related" and "horrific," Jeung said.

"What makes it worse is we see our elderly and youth also targeted," he said. "It seems like people are attacking vulnerable populations."

John C. Yang, president and CEO of Asian Americans Advancing Justice-AAJC said his organization has been tracking anti-Asian hate incidents and crimes for nearly 30 years and has received hundreds more hate incident reports in 2020 than in previous years. He said polls by IPSOS and Pew Research Center indicate that the true scope of hate Asian Americans are experiencing is probably much larger, and better data is needed.

"Although these reports are clearly incomplete, clearly just the tip of the iceberg that shows us that there is this dramatic increase in hate incidents," he said, noting that it's too soon to tell if that increase is continuing in 2021.
'They look at me and think I'm some kind of virus':What it's like to be Asian during the coronavirus pandemic
There are several reasons victims of a hate crime may not report it to the police, according to Yang.

Yang said victims may not be aware of the resources available for them, and there may be language barriers to accessing those resources for older Asian Americans in particular. He said there may be cultural barriers to reporting as well, including shame around being perceived as a victim. Some victims may also be concerned about interacting with law enforcement because of their immigration status.

Yang added that not all hate incidents rise to the level of crime, but they still "clearly inflict a level of mental trauma." He estimated that only about 10% of the incidents reported to his organization could be considered crimes.

Jeung, of Stop AAPI Hate, said that in addition to crimes such as physical violence, Asian Americans have reported experiencing violations of their civil rights including being denied service by businesses or rideshares, being verbally harassed with racial slurs and facing vandalism and property damage.

He said his wife was deliberately coughed on while jogging, noting the similarities to a New Jersey incident where a man was charged with making a terroristic threat after coughing on a supermarket employee and saying he had the coronavirus.

"There is such a climate of hate and anger that we need to again lower the temperature and remind people to treat others with respect," he said.

President Joe Biden signed a memorandum in late January denouncing xenophobia and violence against Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders. Yang said the Biden administration's words have made a difference, but the recent violence has caused the community to "hunker down again" during a normally celebratory time.

He said more needs to be done to ensure victims have support systems and to educate bystanders about safe intervention. He warned against relying too heavily on law enforcement.

Despite the horrific crimes, Jeung was excited to see the Oakland community organizing efforts to reduce crime in the neighborhood.

"What I'm really heartened by is the Asian American community is really standing up," he said. "I want people to know we're not simply victims of discrimination, but we're advocating for racial justice for everyone in the United States and we'll continue to do so."

Tokyo Olympics chief quits and apologies for sexist remark. Weeks ago now former Olympics chief said “If we increase the number of female board members, we have to make sure their speaking time is restricted somewhat, they have difficulty finishing, which is annoying,” And has now apologize and has resign.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
TOKYO (Reuters) - Tokyo 2020 Olympics chief Yoshiro Mori resigned on Friday and apologised again for sexist remarks that sparked a global outcry, leaving the troubled Olympics searching for a chief five months from the opening ceremony.

The resignation of the 83-year-old former prime minister further erodes confidence in organisers' ability to pull off the postponed Summer Games during a coronavirus pandemic.

A selection committee made up of an equal number of men and women, and centred around athletes, would choose a new president for the Tokyo 2020 organizing committee, the group's chief executive Toshiro Muto told a news conference.

"We need to pick the next president urgently," Muto said, without saying when. The new president needed experience in the Olympics or Paralympics and a "really high-level understanding" of gender equality, diversity and inclusion, he said.

The issue has focused global attention on gender disparity in the world's third-largest economy. Former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe championed a policy of "Womenomics" but activists and many women say Japan still has a long way to go - especially in the workplace.

Mori sparked a furore when he said during an Olympic committee meeting this month that women talk too much. He initially refused to step down.

"My inappropriate comments caused big trouble. I'm sorry," Mori said on Friday, adding the most important thing was the success of the Tokyo Games.

Related Coverage

Mori again fanned the flames on Thursday by asking the mayor of the Olympic Village, 84-year-old Saburo Kawabuchi, to take over the job. That triggered widespread public dismay about the post going to another octogenarian man and media later reported that Kawabuchi turned the job down.

"We can't give the impression that things have changed unless we install a woman or see a generational shift," a government source told Broadcaster Fuji News Network.

Seiko Hashimoto, a pioneering female lawmaker and seven-time Olympian, was among the candidates to replace Mori, media said. Born just days before the 1964 Tokyo Olympics opened, her first name is based on the Japanese word for the Olympic flame.

Hashimoto said she had not been asked to replace Mori and that Japan would stay focused on preparations.

'DAMAGE'

The controversy has done "serious reputational damage" to the Tokyo Olympics, said one source involved in the Games, requesting anonymity due to the sensitivity of the matter and adding that many officials want a woman to replace Mori.

Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga, who has seen his government's popularity plunge over its handling of the coronavirus crisis, said the selection process should be based on rules and transparency.

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) said it was "as committed as ever" to staging the Games, which are due to open on July 23.

"The IOC will continue working hand-in-hand with his successor to deliver safe and secure Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 in 2021," IOC President Thomas Bach said in a statement.

Tokyo Governor Yuriko Koike, herself a pioneer as Tokyo's first female leader, avoided a direct answer when asked during a news conference who Mori's successor should be. She said, however, that the person should embody Olympic ideals of inclusivity and be somebody the world can accept.

"Diversity and harmony - that's something that the person at the top needs to understand, embody and broadcast," she said.

Tammy Parlour, head of the Women's Sports Trust in Britain, told Reuters the Olympics were a chance to showcase equality.

"The wider issue is not what one man says though, but how the Olympic movement can capitalise on its visibility to promote brilliant women across all sports and create greater diversity behind the scenes in leadership positions," she said.
