Judge disregards Genocide conviction in Kobagaya case
A federal judge in Wichita dismissed all charges against Lazare Kobagaya of Topeka after jurors found he lied about his whereabouts during the 1994 Rwanda killings. Prosecutors cited issues with jury instructions and a consular officer’s testimony, and the government opted not to retry. The case was noted as the first to require proof of genocide in immigration-related charges.

Kansas Democrats urge extending Social Security tax cut
Kansas Democratic Party chairwoman Joan Wagnon urged Kansas Republicans to back extending the payroll tax cut to avoid a potential $1 billion tax increase for about 1.6 million workers if it expires. She pressed four U.S. House members to vote for extension while cautioning about long-term Social Security funding. Congress returns in September to decide.
