A 19-year-old White Bear Lake man who defied the odds by making it to his high school graduation has died following a two-year battle with cancer.Gabe Kessel was diagnosed with a rare, aggressive form of brain cancer with no known cure in April 2024.A junior in high school at the time, Gabe had been suffering from what was believed to be headaches. He sought treatment after suffering from a severe headache at a wrestling tournament, and his diagnosis came back as a diffuse midline glioma.The diagnosis came with a life expectancy of eight to 12 months, meaning doctors did not expect him to make it to his high school graduation.But Gabe did walk across the stage last year, as reported by KARE 11. GoFundMe In a late May update posted to the family’s GoFundMe, Kessel’s father Joseph wrote that his son’s condition had worsened after exhausting “all possible medical treatments available.”On Wednesday, Gabe died of the illness at the age of 19, according to another update.“We are devastated. Our hearts have been shattered and our world torn apart. I know for certain this is a pain that will never fully heal,” Joseph Kessel wrote this week.“He was a fighter to his core and never let the illness define him or define how he lived his life. He laughed loud, loved without reservation, and had a smile that could light up the room. His personality was magnetic and everywhere he went he left an impression on the people he would meet. "He was an inspiration to many, and the world is a darker place without him in it. Most of all, he was our hero. There will forever be an emptiness in our lives where he used to be.”

The St. Paul City Attorney’s Office has declined to bring criminal charges against anti-ICE protesters who disrupted a Sunday service at Cities Church in January during Operation Metro Surge.City Attorney Irene Kao announced Tuesday that her office conducted a thorough review of evidence submitted by law enforcement in the Jan. 18 incident, described by federal officials as an "attack" on a house of worship, and determined that there's not enough probable to support any charges at the state level."Following a careful evaluation of the video footage, investigative reports, and other available materials, prosecutors determined that the current evidence is insufficient to meet that standard for criminal charges under Minnesota state statutes," reads a statement from Kao.Nearly 40 people are facing federal charges for their involvement in the demonstration, whose goal was to call attention to a Cities Church pastor, David Easterwood, who doubles as the director of ICE's field office in St. Paul.Among them are journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort, both of whom have maintained they were doing their job of covering the news, and prominent Twin Cities activist Nekima Levy Armstrong. Google Streetview Kao added that her office's decision not to file state charges against the Cities Church protesters "should not be interpreted as an endorsement of unlawful behavior or public disorder.""The right to peacefully protest is protected, as is the right to exercise one’s religious beliefs," she said in her statement. "Balancing these equally important rights is paramount to our decision today. "However, acts of violence, property destruction, or threats to public safety – none of which occurred here – remain serious concerns and will be prosecuted when supported by admissible evidence."Bring Me The News has reached out to Cities Church for its reaction to the recent decision by the St. Paul City Attorney’s Office.The demonstration made national headlines in January, at the height of Operation Metro Surge, in between the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti by federal immigration agents.No federal charges have been filed against the agents responsible in either shooting death, but Minnesota prosecutors continue to build cases against them and others, with state charges brought upon two agents in separate incidents so far.

Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan is calling out U.S. Sen. Angie Craig over the use of an AI-generated image of Flanagan in an attack ad from a pro-Craig PAC.The new commercial, paid for by the North Star Dawn PAC, depicts Flanagan standing atop a pile of cash, smiling and putting her hand out as if she were accepting money.“Today, you might see a TV ad starring something that... kind of looks like me," Flanagan said in a statement Wednesday. "My opponent's super PAC is using an AI deepfake of me to mislead voters. "They can't win with the truth – so they're resorting to lies. It's disgusting. Minnesotans deserve better."Flanagan and Craig are competing for the DFL nomination to replace retiring U.S. Sen. Tina Smith, though Craig opted to forgo the party's endorsement process and instead focus on the August primary, when it will be decided which of them will appear on the November ballot. Ad Impact Craig's campaign claims that the congresswoman does not support the use of AI in political ads, and points out that she has previously co-sponsored federal legislation seeking to ban AI deepfakes."The Lt. Governor’s complaints are meant to distract from the fact she accepted millions of corporate dollars as chair of the DLGA – including from the pharma, tobacco, oil and gas industries, and an ICE detention center contractor," a Craig campaign spokesperson said in a statement provided to Bring Me The News.Those are the same allegations made in North Star Dawn's attack ad.Minnesota passed legislation banning the use of AI deepfakes to influence elections in 2023, following its introduction by state Sen. Erin Maye Quade (D-Apple Valley)."Minnesotans of all political beliefs are deeply concerned with the way that AI has been rolled out to consumers, running roughshod over humanity and society, and we don't want to see that injected into our democracy," Maye Quade said in a video posted to social media Wednesday."Politics is already hard enough. We don't need to add in AI deepfakes to the elections process."
