There are no answers.”“They are doing everything correctly," DHS Secretary Kristi Noem said of ICE agents, barely a week after one of them fatally shot an American woman, Renee Good, in her SUV. Separately, when the plaintiffs in a use-of-force case involving ICE agents this month sought to have the case dismissed, the judge brought up last week’s fatal shooting in Minneapolis and asked for more time to assess ICE agents’ use-of-force tactics against protesters in Chicago. “So that is my concern.”AdvertisementThe American Civil Liberties Union filed its own class-action lawsuit on Thursday against the Trump administration, and it alleges Fourth Amendment violations.

We were promised a transparent process where public input would shape the future of our city’s most critical transit link. By introducing "Modified Alternative 5"—a hybrid project that was never presented to the public for review—Metro is attempting to bypass the very environmental laws designed to protect the public's voice. By the time the document actually reached the public in June 2025, the project was nearly three years behind its original schedule. None of those 8,000 comments were about "Modified Alternative 5." Modified Alternative 5 is a new project with a new alignment on Van Nuys Boulevard and a new phasing plan that could leave the Valley with a half-finished line for decades.

Millions of children in public schools will again be offered whole and 2% milk after President Donald J. Trump signed the Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act into law in Washington, D.C., on Jan. 14, 2026. The statute, cited in federal guidance as the Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act of 2025, amends Section 9(a)(2)(A) of the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act (42 U.S.C. 1758(a)(2)(A)) and revises USDA rules for the National School Lunch Program (NSLP). The law reverses elements of the 2010 Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act that had tightly limited school milk to fat-free or low-fat choices in alignment with prior Dietary Guidelines for Americans. It also changes how saturated fat is calculated for weekly meal requirements: fluid milk will be excluded from the weekly average saturated fat calculation for school lunches.

A day later, however, Trump seemed convinced by messages from Iran that plans to put protesters to death were off. The US military is moving a carrier strike group to the region, according to a source familiar the matter.

(Moritz Frankenberg/dpa via AP)NUUK, Greenland -- Troops from several European countries, including France, Germany, the UK, Norway and Sweden, are arriving in Greenland in a show of support for Denmark as talks between representatives of Denmark, Greenland and the U.S. on Wednesday highlighted “fundamental disagreement” between the Trump administration and European allies on the future of the Arctic island. Germany will deploy a reconnaissance team of 13 personnel to Greenland on Thursday, its Defense Ministry said. He said soldiers from several NATO countries will be in Greenland on a rotation system.
