Alligator Alcatraz, the new immigration detention center that opened in the Florida Everglades, had the left-wing media twisting the purpose of the facility. On Monday, CNN News Central featured Correspondent Rafael Romo, who made the false claim that “hundreds of immigrants with no criminal charges in the United States are being held at Alligator Alcatraz.” What Romo was trying to mischaracterize to the CNN audience was the fact they had criminal charges filed in other countries.

President Trump mentioned possible Ukrainian strikes on Moscow to President Zelensky before he approved US arms supplies, but he was “not encouraging further killing”, the White House has said.
His spokeswoman was responding to media reports that he had asked Zelensky why Kyiv’s forces had not hit Moscow and St Petersburg, Russia’s biggest and richest cities.
“Volodymyr, can you hit Moscow? Can you hit St Petersburg too?” Trump had asked, according to the Financial Times, which cited sources familiar with the call. “Absolutely. We can if you give us the weapons,” Zelensky replied.

Representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-FL (I can’t help but remember how Rush Limbaugh used to call her “Debbie Blabbermouth Schultz”), has been railing about the “inhumane” conditions at “Alligator Alcatraz”: e.g., the detainees have to use jailhouse toilets which combine sink and toilet in one stainless steel unit, and there are “insects everywhere.”
I left my California idyll, and soared into milky, hazy US skies.
I touched down to change planes in Minneapolis, which I recalled as having been the corn-fed, friendly Midwest.
I saw that now, almost everyone employed by the airlines, as well as everyone working as ground crew, was of Somali descent, or were recent arrivals from Somalia.
FORT WORTH—At an industrial site in this Texas city, men dressed in head-to-toe protective gear dip giant ladles into a well of molten metal heated to 1,800 degrees Fahrenheit. They’re making something the U.S. has hardly, if ever, produced at commercial scale in recent decades: rare-earth metals.
The factory is the most visible mark of MP Materials’ high-stakes, billion-dollar bet that an American company can take on China’s dominance over the metals—and the magnets they power in everything from cars and smartphones to missile systems.
In recent months, China has used its chokehold over 90% of the world’s rare-earth magnets to cut off access to Western companies, rattling industrial giants such as Ford and Tesla and forcing the U.S. to the table for trade talks.
Prime Minister Mark Carney said Tuesday U.S. President Donald Trump seems wedded to tariffs and any trade deal with the Americans may include accepting some levies on exports.
Speaking to reporters ahead of a cabinet meeting on Parliament Hill about the trade war, Carney said in French that all of Trump’s trade agreements to this point have included some tariffs.
He said “there’s not a lot of evidence right now” that the U.S. is willing to cut a deal without some tariffs included.
