Two Detroit sisters, Brianna Long (29) and Kierianna Long (26, nine months pregnant at the time), are charged with multiple counts including assault with intent to murder after a May 30 incident at a Detroit chicken restaurant in which prosecutors say they attacked a worker, threw items, chased her through the restaurant, hit her with pots and pans, and stabbed her in the stomach with a knife; they allegedly threatened to kill her and even tried to fling hot grease. Both have pleaded not guilty; Brianna—who was pregnant—gave birth four days before her arraignment. Bonds were set at $25,000 for Brianna and $100,000 for Kierianna.

AI Wave Trims Over 20,000 White-Collar Jobs at Detroit's Big Three

The Detroit Three have cut more than 20,000 salaried U.S. roles—about 19% of their white-collar staff—as AI, software-defined vehicles and EVs reshape the industry. GM accounts for roughly 11,000 of the cuts since 2022, with Ford and Stellantis pulling back more gradually; overall white-collar headcount declined from a 2022 peak of about 102,000 to roughly 88,700 by the end of last year. Analysts say clerical tasks are most at risk to AI, though the technology also creates roles in AI, cybersecurity and software, and automakers continue hiring for select AI-related jobs while pursuing broader efficiency gains.
