The Epoch Times: Senior DHS Official Says Border Agents ‘Providing Care, Welfare Services’ to Illegal Immigrants
The Biden administration’s agents along the U.S.–Mexico border are providing mainly "care and welfare" services to illegal immigrants, according to DHS Inspector General Joseph Cuffari. The lack of staff and improper management of resources have led to agents taking on responsibilities outside their typical roles, affecting their own operations. Rep. Clay Higgins criticized the report's findings during a hearing, saying that America is under the impression that border agents are moving down to enhance law enforcement. Democrats questioned the methods used in the report and attacked Cuffari himself, who is already under investigation by the Council of Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency, after he failed to notify Congress immediately upon learning the Secret Service had deleted text messages during an investigation of the Jan. 6 breach of the U.S. Capitol.

Forbes: Trump Allies Accuse Biden Of ‘Weaponizing’ DOJ After His Indictment In Classified Documents Case
Trump and his allies have accused Biden of weaponizing the Justice Department against him after he was indicted on seven criminal counts for his handling of classified documents at Mar-a-Lago. GOP leaders denounced the move and attacked Biden via social media posts and interviews, accusing him of trying to influence the 2024 election by targeting his chief potential opponent. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, Trump's biggest challenger for the GOP's presidential nomination, also criticized the indictment and accused the DOJ of being overzealous in their pursuit of Trump.
PJ Media: The Morning Briefing: Trump Is Indicted, But Biden Is the Real Criminal

The Epoch Times: Labour Backtracks on £28 Billion Green Investment Pledge
Labour will prioritize “financial stability” over its “green prosperity plan,” if it wins the next general election. The party promised to invest £28 billion a year until 2030 in green projects, but shadow chancellor Rachel Reeves said that Labour could not commit to the spending pledges until the financial situation inherited becomes clearer. She stated that the figure would be a target to work towards in the second half of a first parliament. The shadow chancellor insisted that Ed Miliband, the shadow net zero secretary, was “on the same page” as her.
Labour’s plan to speed up Britain’s transition to “net zero” has met with criticism even among trade unions. Two major unions have expressed concerns that Labour’s policy would lead to a “cliff edge” with oil and gas extraction from the North Sea. GMB union general secretary Gary Smith said that Labour’s policies are “naive” and will “create a cliff edge with oil and gas extraction from the North Sea”. Last week, Unite General Secretary Sharon Graham said Labour must be “very clear that they will not let workers pay the price for the transition.” Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer defended his energy plans, saying that tapping new sources of energy would bring fresh opportunities.
Forbes: Trump Charged: Here’s What Happens Next As He Prepares For Miami Court Appearance
Former President Donald Trump has been summoned to appear in federal court in Miami next Tuesday to face federal charges in connection with his alleged mishandling of classified documents. It is likely that he will be arrested, booked and taken into custody before he appears before a judge, and could be fingerprinted, but a mugshot is unlikely. Once he is processed, he will appear before a judge to hear the charges against him, enter a plea of guilt or innocence, and the judge will also outline what will happen in the lead up to the trial. It is also possible that reporters will not be allowed in the courthouse during Trump's arraignment.

Foreign Policy: Russia’s Support Seals Belarus’s Fate at the U.N.

The Epoch Times: Australia Willing to Walk Away as EU Trade Negotiation Stalls
Australia may abandon a free trade agreement with the European Union (EU) if it is not in the country’s interests. The EU has demanded geographical indication protection, which would require local producers to cease using certain protected names such as parmesan, feta, or prosecco for their products. Negotiations have stalled, and the government is pushing back on the demand. Agriculture Minister Murray Watt has said that Australia needs to see significant expansion into new markets. If the EU is not willing to provide better market access, then the deal “is not in our interest to do,” said Watt.
Forbes: Taylor Swift’s The Eras Tour Could Generate $4.6 Billion For Local Economies
