Fox News: Immigration think tank cooks up scheme to use ‘snitches’ to force migrants to self-deport
The Center for Immigration Studies has proposed a plan to aid President Trump's deportation efforts by allowing private citizens to sue employers who hire illegal immigrants. This approach aims to enforce compliance with E-Verify and induce self-deportation by limiting job opportunities for unauthorized workers.
The report suggests amending tax laws to impose penalties on those hiring illegal immigrants, drawing parallels to historical enforcement methods in Britain. The proposal could be implemented through budget reconciliation, requiring a simple majority in the Senate, potentially bypassing Democratic opposition.
Breitbart: Poll: Half Support Arresting and Deporting Millions of Illegal Immigrants
A recent Economist/YouGov survey reveals that half of respondents support the Trump administration's policy of arresting and deporting millions of illegal immigrants. Support is notably higher among Republicans, with 88% backing the policy, while 76% of Democrats oppose it.
The survey coincides with ongoing deportations by ICE, which have targeted criminal illegal aliens, including members of MS-13. Critics argue that prior administrations neglected to act on known criminals' whereabouts, while supporters claim current enforcement is a fulfillment of electoral mandates.

Fox News: 'Extraordinary': Trump secures rapid-fire victories on border cooperation amid tariff push
President Trump has achieved significant border security agreements with Canada and Mexico, leading to a pause on tariffs. Canada will invest $1.3 billion in border measures and deploy new resources, while Mexico is sending 10,000 troops to curb fentanyl and illegal migration.
Additionally, Colombia has agreed to accept deported nationals after Trump threatened tariffs, and El Salvador's president offered to house U.S. deportees in exchange for financial support. These moves reflect Trump's strategy of using tariffs and diplomacy to secure cooperation on immigration issues.
Human Events: JACK POSOBIEC and MIKE BENZ: ‘Killing USAID does not end USAID’
The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) is merging into the State Department, with Secretary of State Marco Rubio as acting administrator. This restructuring is seen as a significant response to public concerns about foreign policy funding, according to Mike Benz of the Foundation for Freedom Online.
Benz cautioned that the merger is complex and may not eliminate USAID's influence, as its programs could be transferred to State. He warned against complacency, likening the situation to Brexit, where initial victories were undermined by subsequent resistance.
Le Monde: Tulsi Gabbard's nomination to lead US intelligence clears Senate committee despite concerns over Russia and Assad stance
Tulsi Gabbard's nomination as Director of National Intelligence under President Trump advanced through the Senate Intelligence Committee with a narrow 9-8 vote, despite bipartisan concerns over her past comments on Russia and her meeting with Bashar Assad. Gabbard, a former congresswoman and National Guard lieutenant colonel, will require strong GOP support for confirmation in the full Senate.
While some Republicans back her calls for reforming the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, Democrats remain skeptical of her judgment and past associations. Gabbard's controversial views, including her defense of Edward Snowden and skepticism towards U.S. intelligence assessments, have drawn criticism from both sides of the aisle.

CNSNews: Biden Plan Set ‘Preposterous’ Timeline for Gaza Reconstruction, Returning Palestinians Home, Middle East Envoy Says

President Donald Trump signed an executive order on February 4, 2025, withdrawing the U.S. from several United Nations bodies, including the Human Rights Council and the UN relief agency for Palestinians. The move is a response to perceived "anti-American bias" within these organizations and calls for a review of U.S. funding.

The Telegraph: The war in Ukraine has become a war for rare earth dominance
President Trump has softened his stance on military aid to Ukraine, linking it to the country's rare earth metal exports. He argues that Ukraine's vast untapped reserves could reduce U.S. dependence on China, while some NATO allies criticize this approach as self-serving.
With significant mineral resources in Russian-occupied areas, Ukraine's potential for strategic leverage is complicated. A deal involving rare earth metals could prolong U.S. support and help Ukraine retain territory, ultimately enhancing its value in negotiations against future Russian aggression.

O’Leary highlighted the complexity of U.S.-China relations, noting the potential for an economic and military conflict. He argued that the situation with China is distinct from negotiations with Mexico and Canada, requiring deeper and more sustained efforts to achieve meaningful results.
