FBI warned ICE agents could be targeted by fake ‘tradwife’ dating profiles, memo reveals

The FBI internally warned that a group of women were creating fake online dating accounts with “tradwife” aesthetics in an effort to lure US immigration agents and “dox” them.

The FBI in Chicago disseminated a brief memo to other law enforcement officials across the US on the potential threat to agents in February, warning that “as of late January 2026, a small group of women allegedly were creating fictitious online dating profiles with the purpose of attracting and then doxxing law enforcement participating in immigration enforcement”. The report, which was shared with the Guardian, provided few details about the alleged scheme and did not explain the source of the information.

Who exactly can wear a face covering?

Who exactly can wear a face covering?

I’m trying to work out what the new rules are in this country. I think I’m getting there, though any Spectator readers who can assist might help me avoid an appearance at the local magistrates’ court.

On political party funding, this week’s new rules seem clear. You may collect immense amounts of money from trade unions if you are a political party protecting the interests of trade unions. But if you don’t enjoy the largesse of the unions and are a party of business, you are not allowed to receive money from people who have done well in business. Furthermore, the Labour party’s in-house brainiac, Angela Rayner, has made it clear that any person who does give large sums of money to a party that is not her own can be described as a ‘foreign dictator or fascist oligarch’. Which is also apparently not slanderous. Got it.

Greta Thunberg leads pro-Palestinian backlash against Ed Sheeran

Greta Thunberg has joined a pro-Palestinian backlash against Ed Sheeran after a rapper was dropped from the British singer’s US tour.

The Swedish activist said Sheeran being “cancelled” showed that “global consciousness has shifted” in support of Palestinian causes.

The controversy erupted after Macklemore, a US rapper, called for a “free Palestine” onstage at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey this month while supporting the American leg of Sheeran’s Loop tour.
