The US economy blows past economists' forecasts for October. Blue states ban boys from girls sports and throuples are now getting legal recognition in a California city. I'm Georgia Howe with Daily Wire executive editor John Bickley. It's Friday, November 6th, and this is Evening Wire. The US economy added 165,000 jobs in October, nearly tripling economists' expectations. The unemployment rate fell to 4.1%, also beating economists' predictions. That's according to data released by the Labor Department this morning. In addition to October's strong numbers, previous months were also revised upwards as well.

September's job numbers were revised up by 31,000 to a total of 60,000, and August's revision was even bigger, jumping over 50,000 to a total of 186,000 jobs added that month. Payroll gains topped experts' predictions, too. Average hourly earnings increased 0.4% last month, bringing the annual rise to 3.1%. The president of Paraguay has resigned after the collapse of one of the country's most popular banks. Contributor Tim Pierce has more. One of Bank accounted more than 60% of Paraguayans as customers before it collapsed this week. The bank had rocketed to the top of Paraguay's financial sector, only receiving its banking license in 2023 shortly after President Santiago Peña's election.

But the bank's success came with increased scrutiny from regulators and critics suspicious of its lending practices. Some believe that One of success came more from its proximity to people in power than by sound financial management. Peña has now resigned after defending the bank as recently as last month. Paraguay's central bank president Carlos Carballo, who led One of predecessor before he was appointed by Peña, resigned from his post as well. Carballo promised that One of investors would get their money back, at least up to $38,000, which means large corporate investors could also fail as a result of One of collapse as well.

Peña's fall also means that the Trump administration could lose a political ally in South America. A Marine Corps veteran shot and killed a gunman yesterday who opened fire at Citibank's corporate campus in Tampa. The shooter killed a woman over a dispute involving a $2,500 debt. The local sheriff said the suspect, 35-year-old Jacob Pearson, drove from Orlando, crashed through a security gate, and then shot 41-year-old Leanne Sellman. Pearson then entered the building looking for more victims, but John Fraley, the veteran who works on security at the bank, ended his rampage.

Security footage shows Pearson walking into the building's cafeteria armed with a rifle before Fraley stepped out of the men's restroom and opened fire on the gunman, hitting him five times. Authorities say Pearson had threatened the law firm handling the debt collection, warning he would come armed if it did not cancel the court case. A new migrant caravan is heading to the US. Immigration reporter Jenny Tehr has the details. The migrants were seen walking through San Pedro Sula, Honduras on Tuesday, the same day voters across the US headed to the polls.

Some of the migrants left in anticipation of the blue wave that swept the nation. Himena Marazan, 47, said according to one report that Trump is on his way out in these elections. That's why we're taking the risk. Here in Honduras, we have nothing left. Migrant Jesus Coria, 30, said he joined the caravan with his family after learning about it on social media. Another migrant caravan had previously formed in September, but was quickly broken up by Mexican authorities near the Chiapas-Oaxaca border. The US embassy in Honduras said in an expost that while the caravans keep forming, they quote have no chance whatsoever of entering our country.

A series of conservative ballot measures have now officially passed, including bans on boys participating in girls sports in deep blue states. Voters in states that backed Democrats on Tuesday's midterms also approved a series of conservative ballot measures, including new restrictions on transgender athletes and expanded voter ID requirements. Eight states passed initiatives strengthening voter identification and limiting voting to American citizens, while Washington voters approved a measure barring girls from competing in girls K-12 sports. Similar measures are leading in Colorado, where two proposals would designate school sports teams by biological sex and restrict certain medical procedures for minors.

Nebraska and Arizona also approved sex-based sports restrictions. Other ballot measures included a major property tax cut in Florida and a ban on state property taxes in Tennessee, while California's proposed billionaire tax is still trailing.

The Trump DOJ has launched a criminal probe into the Supreme Court Dobbs leak. Reporter Drew Berkmeyer has the details. Grand jury subpoenas have already gone out to people who worked at the Supreme Court in the summer of 2022 when the opinion was leaked. That's according to the New York Times. The investigation has brought fresh interest onto this four-year mystery, which was an unprecedented breach of Supreme Court confidentiality and security. DC's US attorney Genevieve Pierro is leading the investigation. Back in 2022, the draft was leaked to Politico nearly two months before it was formally issued by the court.

Chief Justice John Roberts called the disclosure a singular and egregious breach of trust between the court and its employees. At the time, he ordered an investigation into the leak, but the person responsible was not identified. Meghan Markle's estranged father, Thomas Markle Sr., was arrested this morning in Florida for possession of child pornography. The 82-year-old had been living in an assisted care facility in Lakeland where FBI agents apprehended him. In the past few weeks, the FBI raided several Los Angeles area storage units rented by Markle, leading to today's arrest.

Markle was previously under investigation for the same crime by authorities in the Philippines when he was a resident there. Meghan Markle herself has responded to the news, saying quote my thoughts are with the children who may have been harmed, and expressing hope that the priority remains the safety and protection of the innocent children. California governor Gavin Newsom is commuting all the current death sentences in the state. That's 548 murderous criminals and the largest mass clemency in American history. Instead of getting the punishment handed out by juries, the criminals will now get to live out the rest of their lives in prison.

Newsom said in a letter Thursday, quote I take this action because I firmly believe that state-sanctioned killing is incompatible with California's values, undermines the foundations of our legal system, and diminishes each of us. But the state supreme court will have the final say in 382 of the cases because the state's constitution requires the court's approval to anyone convicted of a felony more than once. Among those who Newsom shielded are serial killers and child murderers. Also in California, West Hollywood has now officially given throuples legal recognition.

Law Sahl reporter Lauren Sahl explains. The West Hollywood City Council unanimously passed the measure on Monday, allowing residents to officially register three or more individuals in a legal relationship. While registration wouldn't carry the legal benefits of marriage or domestic partnership, which is controlled by the state, it does allow certain healthcare and legal rights usually reserved for married couples. The ordinance also extends rental protections to registered partners, including protections against eviction for adding a partner to a household. Two Massachusetts cities, Somerville and Cambridge, previously passed similar laws allowing polyamorous relationships to register with the city.

And President Trump signed an executive order this week designating the Oval Office and Roosevelt Cabinet Room as national landmarks. That means making major changes to either space subject to congressional approval. Trump said the move would prevent future presidents from destroying or fundamentally altering the historic rooms, though his successor would still be free to redecorate. The order comes as Trump continues a sweeping renovation of the White House, including plans for a new ballroom and his controversial gold-trimmed redesign of the Oval Office. Those are your drive home updates this evening.
