Good morning, this is Virginia Beach Local Pulse for Saturday, November 29th, 2025.
We're starting our day with mostly sunny skies and cold temperatures across the area. If you're heading outside this morning, bundle up. We're looking at a high around 44 degrees with northerly winds at 7 miles per hour, gusting up to 19. Humidity is sitting at 47 percent, so it's going to feel crisp out there. It's a nice day to get outside and enjoy what should be clear skies for most of the afternoon.
On the public safety front, we've had a busy week in our region. Earlier this week, there was a shooting incident near Washington Avenue in Norfolk that resulted in a fatality. Additionally, another shooting was reported at a Marcy Street home in Norfolk, leaving a man hospitalized with serious injuries. We're also learning that following a shooting incident involving National Guard members in Washington D.C. on Wednesday, one member has now died from those injuries. That incident has triggered a significant policy response at the federal level.
Speaking of which, the Trump administration has announced it's pausing all asylum decisions following the National Guard shooting. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services director Joseph Edlow said Friday night that the agency is halting decisions until they can ensure that every individual is vetted and screened to the maximum degree possible. The administration is also conducting what they're calling a full scale reexamination of green cards for aliens from countries of concern. Immigration policy and security continues to be a major focus at the national level with implications for our communities.
On the legal front, there's an ongoing contempt investigation involving federal judges and Trump administration officials over flights carrying Venezuelan migrants to El Salvador back in March. U.S. District Judge James Boasberg has relaunched an investigation to determine whether the administration deliberately ignored his court order to turn around two planes. The judge has ordered the administration to submit written declarations by December 5th from all officials involved in that decision. It's a rare and high stakes clash between the judicial and executive branches that experts say could influence how the administration carries out its mass deportation policies.
Locally, we continue to see the community's resilience. Just last week, many Virginia Beach residents enjoyed Thanksgiving on the water, skipping the traditional table for the tide. Our local nonprofits are also stepping up, with various organizations looking for additional vehicles to help tackle growing community needs.
Looking ahead to the next few days, we'll maintain these cold, clear conditions, so it's a great time to get outside and enjoy the area. If you're planning any water activities, marine conditions look manageable with winds out of the north at around 10 knots and seas around 2 to 3 feet.
