Breitbart: EXCLUSIVE: Southern Border Migrant Apprehensions Continue Record-Shattering Decline
Enforcement actions by the Trump administration have led to significant declines in migrant apprehensions at the U.S.-Mexico border.

The first week of May saw further reductions, with just over 2,000 apprehensions.
Border Patrol Chief Michael Banks noted the effectiveness of these measures, claiming the lowest monthly apprehensions in recorded history during Trump's first months in office. The trend indicates a stark contrast to previous years, with a marked decrease in illegal crossings since the administration took action.

Human Events: EU says Ireland must enact hate speech laws or face legal action
The European Commission has set a two-month deadline for Ireland to implement hate speech legislation or face legal action. Ireland is accused of not complying with a 2008 EU framework aimed at combating racism and xenophobia, particularly regarding the criminalization of hate speech and Holocaust denial.
Despite existing laws, such as the Prohibition of Incitement to Hatred Act 1989, the Commission finds them inadequate. Ireland's recent hate crime legislation, effective December 2023, did not include hate speech provisions due to government disagreements. Other compliance issues with EU law were also noted.

GB News: Archaeology breakthrough as scientists finally solve 500m-year fossil mystery
Scientists have reclassified the 500-million-year-old fossil Shishania aculeata, once thought to be an early mollusc, as a distant relative of chancelloriids, sponge-like creatures. This shift alters the understanding of early animal evolution and the Cambrian explosion.
Using advanced imaging techniques, researchers found that features previously indicating molluscan traits were misleading due to fossilization processes. The findings suggest that chancelloriids developed their complex structures independently, reshaping theories about the evolution of body plans during this critical period.
