Today's riddle: Why did the burglar wear blue gloves? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Fairfax's jobless numbers remain elevated but are stabilizing, state data suggests (ffxnow.com) — Falls Church's unemployment rate dipped to 3.3% in July, even as Fairfax County and the broader Northern Virginia region saw jobless numbers edge slightly higher compared to last year. State and federal data show a stabilizing but still soft labor market, with Virginia launching a new monthly "Jobs Day" report to help residents track trends and opportunities.
• Your Immigration Hearing May Have Moved to a Secret Building — Here's How to Check: REPORT (latintimes.com) — Some immigration hearings from Maryland and Virginia are now being quietly shifted to a little-known federal office in Falls Church, where judges often appear only by video and mailed notices can be delayed or missing. If you or someone you know has a pending case, advocates urge checking EOIR's phone or online system and confirming the current hearing address before traveling.
