A 26-year-old Black woman with special needs was sentenced for a petty theft of goods from Target, sparking renewed calls for criminal justice reform.
Imarah Aaliyah Bryan, 26, was initially arrested in May for allegedly stealing under $200 worth of items from a Target store in Orlando, Florida. Bryan was jailed for roughly 50 days before appearing in court this month to accept a no-contest plea, which allows defendants to avoid trial without admitting guilt while still accepting punishment.
Despite her diagnosis and apparent cognitive challenges, Bryan was ordered to pay $339 in restitution to the police department, $500 for bond, and was banned from returning to the Target where the alleged theft occurred.

After much backroom maneuvering, the final vote on the resolution honoring Kirk was moved from Thursday to Friday, Sept. 18. For members of the Congressional Black Caucus, the vote is in no way a casual action on a boilerplate resolution. Charlie Kirk was known for critical comments on Black people and communities and targeted several Black women with negative comments, implying that they were successful only because of affirmative action. After a lengthy Democratic Caucus on the morning of September 18, Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries listened to the concerns of members of his caucus. After the meeting, Black Press USA asked Leader Jeffries if he was whipping the vote and what he would vote. The Leader from Brooklyn gave no direct answers. “Members will vote their conscious. We will issue a statement shortly,” Leader Jeffries said flatly.
