(NBC) CRIME 7 children injured as Dallas police chase ends in multi-vehicle crash A police chase in southern Dallas ended with a crash at Seco Boulevard and North Jim Miller Road in Pleasant Grove and six arrests Tuesday afternoon. Police were called to a home invasion in the 9700 block of Checota Drive. They found the suspect vehicle nearby, leading to a chase that spanned about three miles before the pickup struck a pole. At least one person had to be extracted from the pickup, which overturned, and several other vehicles appeared to be struck by the pickup. Seven children, all between the ages of 14 and 17, were hospitalized with injuries that weren't believed to be life-threatening, Dallas Fire-Rescue spokesman Jason Evans said.

(Ben Torres/Special Contributor) 2018 elections Dallas Democrats strike back at GOP lawsuit to remove 128 candidates from primary ballot Lawyers for 14 of the 128 Democratic candidates that the Dallas County GOP is trying to have removed from the March primary ballot [have asked a court to dismiss the case](. According to a document filed late Monday on behalf of 14 candidates threatened with removal from the ballot, the Dallas County Republican Party and its chairwoman, Missy Shorey, have no standing to bring the suit, since they are not candidates in the election. Shorey and her attorney, Dallas lawyer Elizabeth Alvarez Bingham, argue that Dallas County Democratic Party Chairwoman Carol Donovan was required to sign the candidate paperwork of Democrats appearing on the March 6 ballot and send the documents to the Texas Secretary of State. Donovan signed only a fraction of the petitions submitted to her, but her signature, clearly signed by someone else, appears on the documents of the 128 candidates in question. But the candidates say there's nothing in election law that requires Donovan to "sign" candidate petitions, and that she can designate a person to review and sign petitions, if she chose.

Abraham Sbyti has been a citizen of the United States since 2005, five years after he moved to North Texas from Iraq with an assist from the United Nations and Catholic Charities, who helped him secure a driver's license, a Social Security card, a job. He met a Ukrainian native here. Fell in love and married her. And for a long time, this country was everything he'd imagined and hoped for from far, far away. In the Middle East, America is the ultimate," he told me Monday. "The paradise. The vacation. Always shining. A beautiful idea. A dream." But last week, Sbyti and three other Muslim-American men and women from Dallas sued FBI Director Christopher Wray and other federal officials,[claiming that at some point they were put on the FBI's terrorist watch list — along with 2 million others, give or take — for no reason and with no warning](.
