FIRST ON FOX: Five NCAA All-American Women Athletes, including OutKick.com contributor Riley Gaines, will testify in Georgia about their experience competing against and sharing a locker room with a biological male.

Earlier this month, the Georgia state Senate established a Special Select Committee on Women’s Sports to analyze the issue of biological males competing against female athletes.

Fox News Digital learned that the first topic of the committee’s inquiry will focus on the 2022 National Collegiate Athletics Association (NCAA) Division I Women’s Swimming and Diving Championships, where biological male swimmer, Lia Thomas, competed for the University of Pennsylvania women’s swimming team.

The hearings will feature testimony from Riley Gaines, the host of “Gaines for Girls” who competed against and eventually tied with Thomas, who identifies as a woman, in the 200-yard NCAA championships.

In addition to competing, Gaines and other women involved in the tournament will reportedly recall being forced to share a locker room with Thomas.

Also testifying will be athletes Reka Gyorgy, Kylee Alons, Grace Countie, and Kaitlynn Wheeler — all members of the Independent Council on Women’s Sports (ICONS) who filed a lawsuit against the NCAA in March alleging the association knowingly violated Title IX in allowing Thomas to compete.

The women athletes will reportedly “explain how they were harmed by the actions of Georgia Tech University and the NCAA and what must be done to protect women in the future,” according to their lead attorney, William Bock III.

“My priority is to ensure that female athletes across Georgia have the right to compete on a fair and level playing field, and I will not waver on this effort,” Lt. Governor Burt Jones, R-Ga., said in an announcement of the special committee. “We will not stand idly by while radical politicians, athletic associations, schools and higher education institutions push policies threatening this right.”

The first hearing will be held on Tuesday, Aug. 27, at the Georgia State Capitol.

Georgia Tech University and the NCAA did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s requests for comment.

A Florida man has accepted a plea deal after his joyride in a stolen emergency vehicle was cut short when he crashed it and led police on a multi-day search.

On Thursday, Gregory Brian McGall, 36, agreed to a plea deal that will keep him behind bars for 25 years.

Prosecutors said at a hearing in Hillsborough County Court had the 26-year-old not accepted the terms, he would have faced life in prison for his March 22 crimes in Tampa, Florida.

According to the Florida Highway Patrol (FHP), emergency personnel driving an American Medical Response (AMR) Chevy Tahoe were called to a crash March 22 at about 2 a.m. 

Authorities said the driver, later identified McGall, was driving a stolen pickup truck and had crashed it on the interstate. 

During the investigation, McGall allegedly jumped into the AMR vehicle and took off.

In dash camera footage, McGall was seen at the wheel of the carjacked vehicle in a high-speed chase. Officers with the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office (HCSO) were alerted to the theft and pursued him before they lost sight of the suspect.

During his reckless drive, McGall broke a laptop by folding it backwards and then throwing it out the window.

The joyride ended abruptly when McGall crashed into a grassy fenced field, authorities said.

The FHP said McGall ran off after the crash, and authorities found the vehicle.

A search for the carjacker continued until HCSO deputies spotted McGall March 26 in a silver Nissan Altima. Authorities said the car was driven by Jerry Skidmore, 42, who had active warrants.

Police stopped the vehicle at a gas station and went inside to arrest McGall and Skidmore. Authorities said the pair of fugitives attempted to leave, but they were promptly stopped.

Sheriff Chad Chronister commended the deputies’ work for successfully arresting the two men who were “wanted for serious crimes.”

“This operation exemplifies the dedication and coordination of our specialized units,” Chronister said. “Through their diligent efforts, we successfully arrested two individuals who were wanted for serious crimes, ensuring the safety of our community. I commend the Auto Theft Unit and all involved for their outstanding work.”

McGall was arrested and charged with criminal mischief, aggravated assault, grand theft of a motor vehicle and carjacking. 

Skidmore was charged with fleeing and attempting to elude, aggravated assault on law enforcement with a deadly weapon and possession of drug paraphernalia. 

A Bolivian illegal migrant was arrested in Virginia by ICE officials after a succession of alleged sex crimes against children.

According to the Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) in Washington, D.C., 36-year-old Jose Fabricio Veizaga-Vargas was apprehended in Annandale, Virginia, Aug. 19.

Fox News confirmed the migrant from Bolivia illegally entered the U.S. through Texas in April 2023, where he was caught and released. ERO noted Veizaga was given a notice to appear before a Department of Justice immigration judge at a later date.

The ERO said the 36-year-old was classified a convicted sex offender after he assaulted a child in Virginia. 

“Jose Fabricio Veizaga-Vargas is a convicted sex offender who victimized a minor in Northern Virginia,” ERO Washington, D.C., Field Office Director Liana Castano said. “We cannot allow such an obvious danger to threaten the children of our community. ERO Washington, D.C., will continue to prioritize public safety by arresting and removing egregious noncitizen offenders from our Washington, D.C., and Virginia neighborhoods.”

He was also charged this month with seven counts of possession of child porn and possession of obscene material with a minor.

Following his conviction, he was sentenced to six months in jail, but the court suspended his sentence, according to ERO.

Later that day, the ERO said the Fairfax County Adult Detention Center refused to honor an immigration detainer and released Veizaga from custody without notifying it.

Fairfax County Police arrested Veizaga Aug. 15 and charged him with seven counts of felony possession of child pornography and felony possession of obscene material with a minor. 

ERO Washington, D.C., again filed an immigration detainer against Veizaga at the Fairfax County Adult Detention Center after this arrest, but officials refused to honor it and released him once again.

Washinton, D.C., is considered a “sanctuary” jurisdiction, which, by policy, does not cooperate with ICE detainers. 

When ICE believes a removable illegal immigrant has been arrested on criminal charges, it will file a detainer, a request that ICE be notified before the immigrant is released from custody.

However, sanctuary jurisdictions generally do not honor detainers, sometimes arguing it is not their responsibility and that doing so has a chilling effect on relations between immigrants and the community.

“When law enforcement agencies fail to honor immigration detainers and release serious criminal offenders onto the streets, it undermines ICE’s ability to protect public safety and carry out its mission,” ICE’s website warns.
