Some federal agents leaving Minnesota |
Border czar Tom Homan announced Wednesday that about 700 federal immigration agents would leave Minnesota , citing an "unprecedented" amount of state and local cooperation with Immigration and Customs Enforcement. |
More than 2,000 federal agents remain in the state, though, which has been roiled by weeks of protests, two fatal shootings and the ouster of another top Trump administration official. |
Haitian immigrants in limbo |
A federal court ruling to maintain the temporary legal status of Haitian immigrants has not quelled fears for thousands of people in the community. There are 350,000 Haitian immigrants in the U.S., protected (for now) from deportation and legally able to work. About 15,000 of them live in Springfield, Ohio. | Part of a sign with printed out flags from various countries, including Haiti, are posted on the window of the Clark County Public Library, Tuesday, Feb. 3, 2026, in Springfield, Oh.

The Washington Post, a storied American news outlet that brought down a President through its Watergate coverage, whose owner, Katharine Graham, stood up to the White House to publish the Pentagon Papers, and whose unflinching, groundbreaking journalistic motto is "Democracy dies in darkness," is dealing with the one of the darkest days in its century-and-a-half history. |
Sweeping layoffs hit the Post's newsroom Wednesday , gutting its sports desk, local news and international coverage. The move comes amid financial and subscriber losses, with the union representing journalists noting that the Post's staff has shrunk by more than 400 people over the last three years and calling for owner Jeff Bezos (the third richest man in the world) to sell the outlet he bought in 2013. | WASHINGTON, DC - JUNE 5: The Washington Post Building at One Franklin Square Building on June 5, 2024 in Washington, DC.
