The US Capitol in Washington, DC, US, on Wednesday, Jan. 21, 2026. Graeme Sloane | Bloomberg | Getty Images Lawmakers and the White House offered no signs of compromise Sunday in their battle over oversight of federal immigration officers that has led to a pause in funding for the Department of Homeland Security. A partial government shutdown began Saturday after congressional Democrats and President Donald Trump's team failed to reach a deal on legislation to fund the department through September. Democrats are demanding changes to how immigration operations are conducted after the fatal shootings of U.S. citizens Alex Pretti and Renee Good by federal officers in Minneapolis last month. Congress is on recess until Feb. 23, and both sides appear dug into their positions. The impasse affects agencies such as the Transportation Security Administration, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the U.S. Coast Guard, the Secret Service, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection. The work at ICE and CBP goes on unabated because Trump's tax and spending cut law from 2025 provided billions more to those agencies that can be tapped for deportation operations. About 90% of DHS employees were to continue working during the shutdown, but do so without pay — and missed paychecks could mean financial hardships. Last year, there was a record 43-day government shutdown. White House border czar Tom Homan said the administration was unwilling to agree to Democrats' demands that federal officers clearly identify themselves, remove masks during operations and display unique ID numbers. "I don't like the masks, either," Homan said. But, added, "These men and women have to protect themselves." Democrats also want to require immigration agents to wear body cameras and mandate judicial warrants for arrests on private property. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer , D-N.Y., said Democrats are only asking for federal agents to abide by rules followed by...

The Least Laid Generation In History: Gen Z Is Ghosting Sex... And The Implications Are Huge Authored by Scott Pinsker via PJMedia.com, So, barmaid, bring a pitcher, another round of brew Honey, why don’t we get drunk and screw? - Jimmy Buffett, Why Don’t We Get Drunk (and Screw) It’s not just sex: Alcohol consumption has dropped by 54%, with youth (18 to 34) drinking falling ANOTHER 9% just between 2023 and 2025 . From TIME magazine’s article, “ Why Gen Z is Drinking Less ”: [R]esearch from the National Institute on Drug Abuse shows that lifetime drinking, past month drinking, and past year drinking among young people began to decline around the year 2000. That means that such declines have especially impacted Generation Z, defined as anyone born from 1997 to 2012, and some Millennials, born between 1981 and 1996. […] “It is becoming clear that, for whatever reasons, today’s younger generations are just less interested in alcohol and are more likely than older generations to see it as risky for their health and to participate in periods of abstinence like Dry January ,” said National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism George F. Koob in a statement. Maybe that’s not coincidental. Perhaps there’s a causal link (as famed philosopher Jimmy Buffett suggested). Maybe, just like peanut butter and jelly are complementary products, sex and alcohol are, too. Koob seemed to agree with Buffett: Another contributing factor has to do with the changing socialization patterns of younger generations. “Alcohol tends to be a social drug, even for young people, so part of the decline in underage drinking could be related to less in-person socializing,” said Koob. On average, the amount of time people spent with friends in-person decreased from 30 hours a month in 2003 to 10 hours a month in 2020, according to the U.S. Surgeon General’s advisory on the epidemic of loneliness. That decline was especially marked for people aged 15 to 24. Back in 1991 , more than half — 54.1% of al...

警方近日將37年前龍蝦灣謀殺案一個疑犯，由泰國引渡回港。警務處處長周一鳴曾表示，涉案男子是歷來匿藏時間最長的逃犯，相信有足夠證據提出檢控。究竟本港刑事案件的追溯期有多久？ 甚麼是刑事案件的追溯期？ 追溯期（Statute of Limitations）指的是在一定的時間範圍內，檢控機構必須對犯罪行為提起控訴。如果超過這個時間限制，則該犯罪行為將無法再被追究。在香港，針對嚴重刑事犯罪，通常不設追溯期，這符合國際人權法和普通法的慣例。 根據《裁判官條例》（第227章）第26條 申訴或告發的時效 - 凡成文法則對罪行(可公訴罪行除外)並無規定作出申訴或提出告發的時效，則申訴或告發須分別於其所涉事項發生後起計的6個月內作出或提出。 (由1998年第25號第2條修訂) 「簡易程序罪行」及「可公訴罪行」的分別： 「簡易程序罪行」可以說是嚴重性較低的罪行，而「可公訴罪行」則是較嚴重的罪行。簡易程序罪行只能在裁判法院審理，唯一例外情況是，當被告同時被控另一條可公訴罪行時，針對該人的簡易程序罪行可於區域法院審理。簡易程序罪行的例子包括亂拋垃圾、不小心駕駛等。 如控罪之相關法例條文包含「一經公訴程序」或「循公訴程序」的字眼，該罪行便是可公訴罪行。多數可公訴罪行可於裁判法院、區域法院或高等法院原訟法庭審理。控方有權選擇由哪一個法庭審理可公訴罪行（《刑事訴訟程序條例》（第221章）第14條），主要取決於案件的複雜性及可能判處之刑罰。舉例，如案件的判刑可能是監禁 4 年，控方便會選擇於區域法院進行審訊（因區域法院最多可判監 7 年），而不會選擇由裁判法院進行審訊（因裁判法院之最高監禁刑期只是 2 年）。 有些較嚴重的可公訴罪行不能在裁判法院審理，它們列於《裁判官條例》（第227章）附表2之第 I 部。列於上述附表第 III 部之罪行（例如謀殺或誤殺）只能於高等法院原訟法庭由法官會同陪審團審理。 簡易程序罪行之提出起訴期限，通常為事件發生後起計的6個月內（除非法例另有列明）。至於可公訴罪行，就沒有特定起訴期限。
