• Falls Church hosts runners in 485-mile relay remembering 9/11 (arlnow.com) — Falls Church recently welcomed runners in a 485-mile 9/11 remembrance relay, with Mayor Letty Hardi leading participants into the city and police providing an escort. Local runners and visiting clubs gathered behind Dogwood Tavern before continuing toward the Pentagon, turning a somber anniversary into a spirited, community-supported tribute that passed directly through Falls Church.

For local residents in immigration proceedings, the investigation urges checking case details directly through federal systems, apps, and court clerks to avoid missing a suddenly moved hearing.
