Mayor Erin Mendenhall specifically questioned the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents’ tactics in a statement Thursday.

“Why were the agents in plain clothes without visible identification?” she asked. “Why did they choose the lobby of the airport — the gateway to our state — where some 28,000 people enter every day? What I do know is that nothing about this incident, like so many ICE operations, makes me feel safer as an American.”

ICE initially denied involvement in the arrest, telling The Salt Lake Tribune in a 9:48 a.m. email Thursday that the agency was “not involved.”

But after Salt Lake City police and an airport spokesperson separately said the arresting authorities were ICE agents, a spokesperson for the federal immigration agency in a 3:16 p.m. email ultimately confirmed “this was ICE.”

...

The Salt Lake City police officer at the scene didn’t physically detain the woman, but the video captured one of the agents showing the officer his badge, and the two appeared to have a brief conversation.

Salt Lake City police have a dedicated airport bureau and oversee some aspects of airport security.

“Our officer noticed the commotion and went over, and the individuals identified themselves as federal law enforcement and showed their badge,” Salt Lake City Police Department spokesperson Glen Mills said. “We did not participate in any other way, other than going to check out to see what the commotion was.”

I have an alt on this instance too, and there's no infinite scroll on the mentioned clients. Alts on othed instances work np. I haven't tried other clients.

Not sure if this is known issue, or if I'm missing something.

Donald Trump said Sunday he won’t be in attendance at the Supreme Court this week for a pivotal legal showdown that could gut the tariff policy at the center of his economic agenda.

Trump had flirted publicly with going to the oral arguments in the tariff case Wednesday, even though such a move by a sitting president would appear unprecedented. But as he returned to the White House from Florida on Sunday, he told reporters on Air Force One that he doesn’t plan to go.

At about the same time, Trump posted a longer statement on Truth Social, slipping in confirmation he won’t be at the crucial high court session.

Maybe you know you snore like a bear, but you don’t feel much urgency to look into it. Or maybe you have been told to wear a continuous positive airway pressure, or CPAP, machine for sleep apnea, but it is just so cumbersome.

A new study shows that it is important to take obstructive sleep apnea seriously now –– it could impact your risk of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease later.

Moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea is associated with a greater risk for new microbleeds in the brain, according to the study.

One Trump voter told NBC News that while she believes Trump "deep down" wants to boost the economy, "he is busy out of the country" and focused on "demolishing the White House."

The shutdown is compounding problems that have intensified broader anxiety over an economy that in recent months has been marked by lingering high prices for many consumer goods, rough jobs numbers, mass layoffs at major companies

including Amazon and Target

and an uptick in inflation.

That stagnation has in recent months eroded the high approval marks Donald Trump once enjoyed on the economy.

The bleak picture has some Republicans sounding the alarm to the White House

even though delivering the news isn't easy.

"No one wants to tell the president he's losing on the economy," said a Republican strategist who said they recently warned the White House about their concerns.

The eminent British historian Sir Richard Evans produced three expert witness reports for the libel trial involving the Holocaust denier David Irving, studied for a doctorate under the supervision of Theodore Zeldin, succeeded David Cannadine as Regius professor of history at Cambridge (a post endowed by Henry VIII) and supervised theses on Bismarck’s social policy.

That was some of what you could learn from Grokipedia, the AI-powered encyclopedia launched last week by the world’s richest person, Elon Musk. The problem was, as Prof Evans discovered when he logged on to check his own entry, all these facts were false.

It was part of a choppy start for humanity’s latest attempt to corral the sum of human knowledge or, as Musk put it, create a compendium of “the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth” – all revealed through the magic of his Grok artificial intelligence model.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has ordered the military to provide dozens of lawyers to the Justice Department for temporary assignments in Memphis and near the U.S.-Mexico border that could run through next fall, according to a memo released this week and reviewed by The Associated Press

...

The memo appears to be the latest effort to send military and civilian attorneys working for the Pentagon to the Justice Department, this time to staff offices based along the U.S. southern border or where federal immigration enforcement operations are taking place.

It really wasn't intended to be (according to the authors of the script) but there's a lot of overlap between popstar fan idolatry and the idolatry of fascist or authoritarian leaders.
