From The Hill:
The body of the United States’ first ever female Muslim judge was found Wednesday afternoon in the Hudson River near Manhattan, according to a Wednesday New York Post report.
Witnesses spotted Sheila Abdus-Salaam’s body in the river near 132nd Street and Hudson Parkway, police sources tell the Post.
Abdus-Salaam served as an associate judge of the Court of Appeals and was also the first U.S. African-American to serve there.
She had been reported missing earlier in the day, the newspaper reports.
Her husband later confirmed her identity.
Sources tell the Post that there were no visible signs of trauma or physical injuries suggesting foul play. Police are still investigating.

No one deserves to be floated w/o trial and conviction ...yet, arguments can be made ...
NY puts $10M to defend immigrants
Cuomo said Tuesday that “you can have that political debate" over the rights of immigrants in the country illegally.
"But," he added, "at the end of the day I don’t care what your political opinion is because we’re a nation of laws and before you deport anyone, we have to make sure they have a right to enforce their legal rights."
When the initiative was first launched in March, it started with more than $1 million in funding from the public and private sectors, including from the Carnegie Corporation and the Ford Foundation
Struggling with the moral argument with this one. Every human life is priceless but some people spend theirs trying to be the exception to that rule.
Thanks .... it's nice to get a break from bad news for awhile.
LOL
