Fox News: Migrants turning back due to tighter border security, CBP memo shows
Recent internal Customs and Border Patrol memos reveal that groups of migrants from Central and South America have turned back from their journey to the U.S. after learning about increased border security measures. Encounters in Honduras showed that social media and family communications influenced their decisions to return home.
President Trump’s focus on illegal immigration in his 2024 campaign, along with his new policies, appears to be impacting migrant behavior. His administration has initiated measures to detain illegal immigrants at Guantanamo Bay, potentially housing up to 30,000 individuals deemed "the worst of the worst."

Fox News: Who is Norm Eisen? Meet the anti-Trump attorney repping FBI agents suing the DOJ
Attorneys representing FBI agents involved in the Jan. 6 investigation are suing the Department of Justice to prevent the public identification of these agents. Norm Eisen, a prominent anti-Trump lawyer and former Obama administration official, is leading the case, arguing that the agents' rights and privacy must be protected.
The lawsuit follows a directive from the DOJ to identify and potentially terminate FBI employees linked to the Jan. 6 investigation. Eisen claims this move threatens the integrity of law enforcement and has sparked a temporary restraining order to halt the release of the agents' names.
Fox News: Pritzker trolls Trump by 'renaming' Lake Michigan as 'Lake Illinois,' joking he'd annex Green Bay
Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker humorously responded to President Trump's recent executive order renaming the Gulf of Mexico by declaring Lake Michigan as "Lake Illinois" in a satirical video. He also joked about annexing Green Bay, Wisconsin, mimicking Trump's proposal to purchase Greenland.
The video comes amid ongoing tensions between Pritzker and Trump, including a lawsuit against Illinois for its sanctuary policies and disputes over immigration enforcement and birthright citizenship. Pritzker's comments highlight the political rivalry and differing views on federal authority.
Le Monde: 200,000 march against far right in Munich
On February 8, 2025, over 200,000 people protested against the far-right in Munich, following a similar demonstration in Berlin. The rallies, occurring ahead of legislative elections, aimed to uphold democracy and warn against any collaboration with the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD).
Protesters criticized the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) for seeking AfD support on an anti-immigration bill, challenging Germany's historical stance against far-right alliances. Organizers emphasized their commitment to diversity and democracy, with significant turnout also reported in Hanover.

Times Of Israel: Almog, 3, to his dad, freed hostage Or Levy: ‘It took you a long time to come back’
Freed hostages Or Levy, Eli Sharabi, and Ohad Ben Ami were reunited with their families after being held captive by Hamas for 491 days. Their release occurred during a ceasefire agreement, with the hostages suffering from severe malnutrition. Emotional reunions highlighted the personal tragedies, including the deaths of Levy's wife and Sharabi's family.
The ongoing hostage situation remains dire, with 73 individuals still held by Hamas. Since the conflict began on October 7, 2023, Hamas has released 21 hostages, while many families continue to seek the return of their loved ones.

Fox News: DAVID MARCUS: If USAID is so vital, where is the global outrage?
The Trump Administration's cuts to USAID have sparked mixed reactions globally, with some leaders, like Rwanda's Paul Kagame and Hungary's Viktor Orban, expressing support for a shift towards self-sufficiency in African nations and criticizing the politicization of U.S. foreign aid.
Critics argue that USAID has shifted from promoting democracy to interfering in foreign politics, often funding opposition groups. As the agency undergoes restructuring under Secretary of State Marco Rubio, there is a push to refocus aid on life-saving initiatives aligned with U.S. interests.
The Telegraph: No one can now deny the evil that is Hamas
The 80th anniversary of Auschwitz's liberation highlights the enduring shock of Holocaust imagery and the ongoing battle against anti-Semitism. The response of some progressives to the October 7 attacks has raised concerns, as they protested against Israel rather than the violence inflicted by Hamas.
The plight of hostages like Or Levy, who suffered under Hamas, underscores the evil of terrorism. Despite calls for peace and a two-state solution, true peace cannot exist alongside such malevolence. Israel has facilitated aid to Gaza, while Hamas manipulates aid for its own purposes.

GB News: Mortgage crisis deepens: Thousands trapped in 9% interest deals as Labour rejects inquiry call - 'I'm at breaking point'
The Government has rejected calls for an independent inquiry into the plight of approximately 195,000 "mortgage prisoners" trapped in high-interest rate deals since the 2008 financial crisis. Treasury minister Lord Livermore stated that further investigation would not yield significant new information or support for those affected.
Many homeowners, like Rebecca Wendel, are struggling with interest rates up to 10%, leading to unsustainable monthly payments. Despite existing protections, critics argue that the Government is not adequately addressing the financial exploitation faced by these individuals.
