ICE Facility Plan Scrapped In Lebanon

Woman Questions USPS After Bloody Package

A Georgetown woman says she found what appeared to be blood on a package delivered to her front door by the U.S. Postal Service.

Hollie Hogan said she contacted her local post office after spotting the substance and was told deliveries continue unless deemed unsafe. 

The Postal Service said suspicious items are typically isolated and bagged before delivery, and customers can return packages or use precautions when opening them.

Social media users disagreed on whether the substance looked to be blood, with many attributing the stain to a sauce instead. 

Tennesseans Stranded Amid Cartel Violence

Tennesseans, including a 27-year-old Meharry Medical College student and a mission group, are sheltering in place in Mexico after cartel violence erupted during their trips.

Aimen Choudhary said she and her friends returned from a snorkeling trip to find smoke, burned vehicles, and helicopters overhead as Mexican forces carried out an operation targeting a cartel leader who was later killed in a shootout.

A 40-member mission group from Harrison-based Mexico Missions and Beyond is also stuck after being in the country for three weeks, building six churches.

Flights in and out of the region have been disrupted, leaving the stranded Tennesseans uncertain about their returns.
