​NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!. After left-wing activists in conjunction with Providence, Rhode Island Mayor Brett Smiley launched an intense pressure campaign against a mural of slain Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska, sparking the project’s cancellation, another business in the city has stepped up to display the mural.. Opa the Phoenician, a Lebanese restaurant in Providence’s historic Federal Hill, is now home to the mural, which artist Ian Gaudreau began working on Friday.. The previous location was The Dark Lady, an LGBT bar in the city’s downtown. But that bar was browbeaten by critics into pausing and then altogether cancelling the project.. Smiley was the most prominent voice to speak out against the project.. PROVIDENCE MAYOR CALLS FOR REMOVAL OF IRYNA ZARUTSKA MURAL, SAYS INTENT IS ‘DIVISIVE,’ ‘MISGUIDED’. “The murder of the individual depicted in this mural was a devastating tragedy, but the misguided, isolating intent of those funding murals like the one across the country is divisive and does not represent Providence,” he said in a statement, adding that he wanted to “encourage our community to support local artists whose work brings us closer together rather than divide us.”. Co-owner of Opa, Francois Karam, emphasized that the restaurant is owned by immigrants and the mural is a way to honor Zarutska’s story as an immigrant.. “[Iryna] was once an immigrant chasing the American dream,” Karam said, according to WJAR. “She worked to build a life for herself and lost it along the way. This mural is our way of honoring her on a building owned by an immigrant family who understands that journey.”. DEM LAWMAKER SPARKS ONLINE FIRESTORM AFTER SAYING IRYNA ZARUTSKA MURAL DOESN’T ALIGN WITH CITY’S VALUES. Gaudreau echoed that sentiment.. “He has an immigrant family story himself,” he said of Karam. “So he really connected with that Iryna, and he felt really passionate about the project.”. Zarutska was killed on Aug. 22 after she was randomly stabbed from behind on a Charlotte, North Carolina, light-rail train. The suspect in her unprovoked murder is Decarlos Brown Jr., who had a lengthy rap sheet, including convictions for larceny, breaking and entering, and armed robbery..

​The daughter of a missing American in the Bahamas says she has learned of prior issues and is calling for a thorough investigation into her mother’s disappearance after authorities say she fell from the boat she was on. Bahamian officials said 55-year-old Lynette Hooker and her husband, 58-year-old Brian Hooker, left the Abaco Inn in Hope Town on a small boat around 7:30 p.m. Saturday and were headed to their yacht, with plans to go to Elbow Cay.

Authorities say, while the couple was on an 8-foot dinghy en route to their yacht, Lynette Hooker fell off the boat with the ignition key, which caused the engine to shut off. The current carried her away, and Brian Hooker paddled to a marina at Marsh Harbor to report his wife missing at about 4:00 a.m. Sunday.

Lynette Hooker’s daughter, Karli Aylesworth, said there have been prior issues brought to her attention and emphasized the need for an intensive review of the facts and circumstances before any conclusion is reached. “If this truly was an accident, I can understand and live with it,” Aylesworth said. “However, there needs to be an intensive review of the facts and circumstances of this tragic incident before that can be determined.” She also urged involvement from federal, state, or local authorities to examine the circumstances of the disappearance, and she noted she has been privy to very little information, with her sole concern being to discover what happened to her mother and to ensure a full and complete investigation.

Fox News Digital has contacted U.S. federal authorities as well as local and state authorities in Michigan, where the couple lives. Authorities have not said whether Lynette Hooker was wearing a life jacket at the time she fell from the small boat.

The couple is active on social media, often showcasing their yacht, and their most recent Instagram post, on Friday, showed a small boat with the caption, “Not going anywhere for a while.” The Royal Bahamas Police Force is investigating the disappearance alongside the Royal Bahamas Defence Force and the Hope Town Fire & Rescue.

The U.S. State Department currently places the Bahamas at a Level 2 travel advisory, urging Americans to exercise increased caution due to crime, beach safety, and jet skis and boating. A spokesperson for the State Department said they are aware of reports regarding a missing American near Elbow Cay in the Abacos in The Bahamas.

New York sanctuary politicians chose to release this kidnapper from jail to prey on more innocent children rather than cooperate with ICE law enforcement,” Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis told the newspaper.. “Sanctuary politicians must stop putting politics above public safety,” she reportedly added. “This type of insanity leads to more crimes and more innocent victims.”. ICE IMPERSONATOR BRUTALLY BEATEN BY STREET MOB, DHS SAYS MAN NOT ASSOCIATED WITH AGENCY. The Suffolk County Police Department said that, “While a woman was with her two children at a laundromat, located at 138 East Main St., Carlos-Corte, who was unknown to the woman, led her 4-year-old daughter out the back exit of the laundromat, at 12:08 p.m.” on March 28.. “Her mother reported her missing, and patrol officers responded to the scene, where they reviewed surveillance video and began canvassing the area. During the search, the mother located her daughter in the children’s play area of the Patchogue-Medford Library, located at 54-60 East Main St. A patrol officer then located Corte near the laundromat and took him into custody,” police added.. Corte-Corte was charged with second-degree kidnapping and endangering the welfare of a child, police said.. DHS SLAMS ‘INSANE’ 5-YEAR PLEA DEAL FOR ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS WHO ADMITTED FATAL STABBING IN VIRGINIA. The day after his arrest, a Suffolk County district judge freed Corte-Corte on supervised release with a GPS monitor, the New York Post reported.. The newspaper said Suffolk County District Attorney Ray Tierney disagreed with the judge’s decision and added that, “I think if you look at the facts of the case, clearly they’re concerning.”. “He thought the girl lived alone without parents,” the New York Post quoted Corte-Corte’s public defender as saying in court. “He took her to the library and told an employee there as such, but there was a language barrier. It seems to be a mistake.”. CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP. Fox News Digital has reached out to the Department of Homeland Security for further comment.
