Police are searching for a man who they say tried to lure a girl with dogs in Levittown, Pennsylvania.

The 12-year-old girl told police she was walking along the 100 block of Thornridge Drive Tuesday around 3:25 p.m. when a man inside a dirty, older model, dark-grey minivan drove up slowly beside her.

The man asked the girl if she wanted to “come see the dogs in the back,” police said. The girl told the man "no" and walked to the nearest house as the vehicle drove off.

The girl told police she saw a small black dog in the driver’s seat and heard at least one large dog bark in the back of the vehicle.

The driver is described as a light skinned male between the ages of 35 and 45 with straight, shoulder-length brown hair and a deep voice. They also say his vehicle looked similar to a Dodge Caravan with rear sliding doors and tinted rear windows.

“It’s scary because you don’t want to live in a neighborhood that you can’t feel safe in and the little kids are more susceptible to bad things now,” Nelson Samhammer, a neighbor, told NBC10.

However, despite the President's action, many of those children already have been separated and some of them are staying in our area. We take a look at the local effort to help the most vulnerable.

Looking for a summer job that will help pay for college? Philadelphia area McDonalds owners and operators John and Danielle Dawkins might have a solution for you. The father-daughter pair held an event on Wednesday, with Philadelphia City Council President Darrell L. Clark, to reaffirm their commitment to summer hiring and to announce changes to their Archways to Opportunity program that makes it easier for employees to further their education.

The changes, which will go into effect this summer, have reduced the length of time an employee must work for the company before becoming eligible from nine months to 90 days. This will allow new summer hires to be eligible for the program just in time for college start dates in the fall. Employees must work at least 15 hours a week to qualify.

The program, which was started in April of 2015, aims to help McDonald’s employees complete high school and college degrees by helping students complete their high school diplomas and through providing tuition assistance, free education advising services and English as a second language classes.

Since its beginning, the program has provided over 16,400 employees with tuition assistance nationwide. The high school completion program has seen more than 300 U.S. graduates.

Several employees at Danielle Dawkins’ restaurants have participated in Archways to Opportunity’s high school completion program.

“Before this, they weren’t proud to tell anyone that they hadn’t completed high school, but now they… can take advantage of this opportunity,” Dawkins said.

Dawkins’ restaurants also provide up to $2,500 in tuition assistance for regular crew members and $3,000 for managers. This has been especially helpful for students since one of her locations is on the Temple University main campus.

“They can work at their own schedule for the minimum of fifteen hours a week and they’re able to get the money to provide payments for a class or their books,” Dawkins said. "It’s been extremely beneficial.”

Clark recognized the value this program has brought to the community.

“McDonalds understood that people need to go to another level and being a true, focused citizen, they have taken it to another level," he said. "They have understood the importance of providing opportunity… not just in terms of having employment, but in terms of furthering education.”

President Trump has stopped his policy of separating children from their parents after they cross the border illegally. The move comes on World Refugee Day which was celebrated in Philadelphia. Refugees living in our area speak on the Trump Administration and their views.

More than 2,300 migrant children have been separated from their families at the U.S.-Mexico border as a result of the Trump administration's "zero tolerance" policy.

U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced in April that anyone caught crossing the border illegally would be criminally prosecuted and jailed, which would require children to be held separately at government-run facilities — many of which are in other states, hundreds of miles from where their families are detained.

The zero tolerance policy has overwhelmed the federal agency charged with caring for the new influx of children who tend to be much younger than teens who typically have traveled to the U.S. alone. The Associated Press reported some recent detainees are infants, forcibly taken from their mothers and placed in at least three "tender age" shelters in South Texas.

The policy has drawn criticism from lawmakers, civil rights groups, religious groups, the American Medical Association and the United Nations, as well as business leaders and celebrities.

Caving in to mounting pressure, President Donald Trump Wednesday announced he would be signing an executive order directing the Department of Homeland Security to keep families together in detention after they are detained crossing the border illegally.

Meanwhile, lawmakers have proposed several bills to stop the child separation at the border. The American Civil Liberties Union is urging people to call their senator to advocate against the Trump administration directive and has set up a page on its website to help connect constituents with their senator's office.

Here are some other ways you can help migrants families separated at the border.

ACLU: The national nonprofit's Immigrants' Rights Project works to protect civil liberties of immigrants and combat public discrimination against them through litigation, advocacy and public outreach. The ACLU is currently raising money to help "defend asylum-seeking parents forcibly separated from their children."

RAICES: The Refugee and Immigrant Center for Education and Legal Services (RAICES), based in San Antonio, Texas, provides free and low-cost legal services to immigrant and refugee families.

The nonprofit is accepting donations for its Family Reunification and Bond Fund, which in part is used to bond migrants out of ICE custody to help reunite families, and volunteers. 

A viral Facebook fundraiser organized by a Silicon Valley couple has raised more that $10 million dollars — and counting — for RAICES. The "Reunite an immigrant parent with their child" fundraiser launched Saturday became the social networking site's largest crowdfunded campaign ever, a Facebook spokesperson said.  

Additionally, the #postcards4families campaign will donate $5 to RAICES for every postcard kids write to help the separated immigrant children.

CLINIC: The Catholic Legal Immigration Network Inc. (CLINIC)helps secures free legal representation to migrant children released from detention, helps refugees gain asylum in the U.S., reunites families and provides legal services to immigrants.

Women's Refugee Commission: The Women's Refugee Commission advocates for the rights and protection of women, children, and young adults fleeing violence and persecution.

While the group is accepting monetary donations to assist separated families seeking asylum, it also suggests other ways people can take action to help the end the separation of families.

Urban Justice Center: The nonprofit launched the Asylum Seeker Advocacy Project (ASAP) in 2015 to "prevent wrongful deportations by connecting refugee families to community support and emergency legal aid."

The organization is in need of donations to help support the legal services it provides asylum seekers and is also looking for volunteer attorneys and interpreters.

Pueblo Sin Fronteras: 

The binational nonprofit Pueblo Sin Fronteras provides humanitarian aid, caravans, shelter and aid to migrants and refugees in transit to the U.S. The organization's volunteers accompany migrants along their journey to protect them from danger, but also to move past law enforcement officials. It is currently assisting families awaiting hearings.

Here's how to donate.

A new Delaware law will give research animals a better life after they retire from the laboratories. Gov. John Carney signed a bill Wednesday afternoon that will require all research facilities that receive public funding to put retired dogs and cats up for adoption, rather than euthanizing them.

The bill, which was passed unanimously by the senate in May, will make Delaware the eighth state to enact a so-called “Beagle Freedom” law. The laws, which are nicknamed after one of the most commonly tested on dog breeds, seek to provide new opportunities for research animals who often spend their entire time in the labs caged, with few opportunities to go outside or socialize.

Other states that have passed “Beagle Freedom” laws include Minnesota, California, Illinois, New York, Nevada and California. Several other states — including New Jersey and Massachusetts — have proposed similar legislation.

Senator Jack Walsh, the bill’s primary sponsor, will join the Governor as he signs the bill into law. He described the law as common sense.

“We have healthy animals that research labs don’t want. We have shelters that are willing to care for them. We have families that might want to adopt them. It deifies reason that anyone would choose to euthanize instead of giving them a second lease on life,” Walsh said in a statement made last May.

Gail Thomssen, a proponent of the bill who brought her own retired-research Beagle, George, into the Delaware Senate Chambers to lobby state lawmakers, will also join Carney as he signs the bill. Thomssen is the philanthropy officer of the Rescue+Freedom Project, a non-profit that rescues former lab animals and tells their stories.  

“This policy addresses a real deficiency of law and we are so proud to be able to secure homes for animals that have endured so much suffering,” Thomssen said when the bill passed last May. “No longer will these cats and dogs be killed once research is over.

Retired lab animal adoptions will be facilitated either through private placements or through contracted arrangements with local shelters. The bill will also allow researchers to adopt animals they studied in the labs.

“If just one of these animals becomes a pet, all of the work that went into this bill will be worth it,” Walsh said. 

A Schuylkill County man who threatened to kill President Donald Trump and other officials in a Facebook post is currently wanted by the U.S. Marshals Service, investigators say.

U.S. Marshals, FBI, Secret Service Agents, and local state and county police officers began searching for 26-year-old Shawn Christy of McAdoo, Pennsylvania early Wednesday morning after a federal warrant charging Christy with making threats to the president and other public officials was issued. They searched two locations in Schuylkill County, including Christy’s parent’s home.

Christy is also wanted on warrants issued by Northampton and Schuylkill counties.

The cause of the search was a June 12 Facebook post in which Christy threatened President Donald Trump and Northampton County District Attorney John Morganelli, officials said.

“Keep it up Morganelli, I promise I’ll put a bullet in your head as soon as I put one in the head of Donald J. Trump. Remember where you came from punk,” Christy wrote.

Christy continued to threaten Morganelli and on June 15, he wrote, "You're a dead man Morganelli."

[[486081881, C]]

This is not Christy’s first threat against a public official, according to investigators. Officials say he and his father admitted to harassing Sarah Palin and her attorneys by phone in 2011 after an Alaska magistrate issued restraining orders against Shawn Christy on behalf of Palin. In one message, Christy allegedly threatened to come to Alaska and rape one of Palin’s attorneys.

Christy has also attempted to attack local officials, officials said. He was charged with aggravated assault in March of last year after police say he swung a large stick at McAdoo Mayor Stephen Holly. He is also accused of making terroristic threats and bomb threats in 2017.  

The U.S. Marshals are offering a $5,000 reward for anyone with information that could lead to Christy’s arrest. They warned the public that Christy is violent and could be armed. They encourage anyone with information to call the U.S. Marshal 24 hour tip line at 484-358-1974. 

Summer officially begins in Philadelphia at 6:07 AM EDT on Thursday June 21. The sun will rise at 5:33 a.m. and set at 8:33 p.m. and here in the northern hemisphere we will enjoy more hours of daylight and fewer hours of darkness than any other day this year.

Also known as the summer solstice, this is the day each year when the sun is directly over the Tropic of Cancer due to the tilt of Earth on its axis. This provides maximum hours of sunlight north of the equator. The farther north, the more hours of sunlight you will have.

Here in Philadelphia we will have 15 hours of sunlight and the longest hours of twilight after the sun sets. Across the Arctic Circle the sun never really sets and there will be 24 hours of sunlight. The opposite effect happens on the Winter Solstice each December when we see the fewest hours of sunlight and the greatest hours of darkness.

The summer Solstice can occur on June 20, 21 or 22 of any given year. Next year in 2019 it once again falls on June 21.

The weather on our first day of summer will be seasonal with low to mid-80s, isolated showers early in the morning and skies clearing to sunshine by mid-day.

If you're looking to add to your family with a furry new addition, this may be the perfect time.

Two men posed as police officers while robbing a man inside his Philadelphia home, investigators said.

The home invasion occurred Wednesday at 6 a.m. on the 3900 block of Glendale Street. Police say two men posing as officers forced a 59-year-old man into his home. The suspects then stole $3,000, a gold watch, chain and bracelet before fleeing the scene.

The homeowner was not injured during the incident.

The first suspect is described as a stocky, white male standing 6-foot-2, wearing a white t-shirt and a badge. The second suspect is described as a stocky, clean shaven, black male standing 6-foot-2.

A weapon has not been recovered. Police continue to investigate.
