More Than 10,000 Illegal Immigrants Arrested In Minnesota: Noem Authored by Arjun Singh via The Epoch Times, Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem announced on Jan. 19 that more than 10,000 criminal illegal immigrants had been arrested by federal law enforcement officers during ongoing immigration-related operations in Minneapolis. “We have arrested over 10,000 criminal illegal aliens who were killing Americans, hurting children and reigning terror in Minneapolis,” Noem wrote on X. “In the last 6 weeks, our brave DHS law enforcement have arrested 3,000 criminal illegal aliens including vicious murderers, rapists, child pedophiles and incredibly dangerous individuals. A HUGE victory for public safety.” Many law enforcement officers of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), as well as other agencies, have been deployed to the Minnesota cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul since Dec. 1, as part of Operation Metro Surge . Local Democratic Party officials and progressive groups have voiced their opposition to this effort, with many protesters demonstrating against law enforcement officers while they are conducting arrests, and have sued the administration to enjoin the law enforcement operations. The tension grew after protester Renee Nicole Good was shot and killed by an ICE officer. Federal officials said Good drove her SUV into the ICE officer, who shot her in self-defense. Operation Metro Surge is one of many recent actions the Trump administration has undertaken against Minnesota amid allegations of welfare fraud and race-based discrimination. The state has been sued by the U.S. Department of Justice for alleged violations of the Civil Rights Act for alleged racial discrimination in state hiring, and is under investigation by the Department of Housing and Urban Development for alleged violations of the Fair Housing Act arising from “racial favoritism.” Furthermore, dozens of members of the Somali community in the state have been indicted or convicted of ...
One of my favorite retirement accounts is a Roth IRA because of its unique tax benefits. Unlike a 401(k) or traditional IRA , you contribute after-tax money into a Roth IRA and then take tax-free withdrawals in retirement. It's a tax break that can easily save the average person thousands in taxes in retirement. A unique tax break also means that Roth IRAs operate differently from other retirement...
One of my favorite retirement accounts is a Roth IRA because of its unique tax benefits. Unlike a 401(k) or traditional IRA , you contribute after-tax money into a Roth IRA and then take tax-free withdrawals in retirement. It's a tax break that can easily save the average person thousands in taxes in retirement. A unique tax break also means that Roth IRAs operate differently from other retirement accounts, which in turn leads to more misunderstanding. To hopefully clear up some of the confusion, here are five common myths about a Roth IRA that people should stop believing. Image source: Getty Images. Continue reading

Brooklyn has finally broken his silence about his rift with his parents. He’s not mincing his words – from his ‘overwhelming anxiety’ about being raised in the spotlight to his mum’s ‘inappropriate dancing’ at his wedding Rich, powerful and beautiful they may be, but the Beckhams are almost certainly having a worse day than you.

ozgurdonmaz Apple ( AAPL ) was added to Evercore's tactical outperform list as the investment firm expects near-term upside, going into the company's upcoming earnings report. Shares fell 1.4% in premarket trading. “We continue to have a positive stance on shares of AAPL heading into [the December quarter] print on Jan. 29th, as our checks suggest that there’s near-term upside to street estimates, driven by strong iPhone demand and a minimal memory cost headwind (through the Mar-qtr),” analyst Amit Daryanani wrote in a note to clients. “For [the December quarter] (Q1’FY26), we’re modeling revs/EPS of $140.5B/2.71, ahead of [Wall Street] at $137.4B/2.67. Our checks, coupled with industry data points, suggest near-term upside to AAPL estimates driven by robust iPhone demand + minimal memory cost headwind. On iPhone demand, sales have skewed more towards higher-end models, which are positive for ASPs relative to where street estimates are at.” Daryanani, who has an Outperform rating and $330 price target on Apple, said he expects iPhone revenue to be up 17% year-over-year and Services revenue to be up 13% year-over-year. He also said the tech titan is “more insulated” than others when it comes to rising memory prices, given it has signed long-term agreements to secure NAND supply and pricing. Apple is set to report fiscal first-quarter results on Jan. 29. A consensus of analysts expects the company to earn $2.67 per share on $138.5B in revenue.
