Epstein Files Drop, Andrew Image Surfaces; Child Freed, Congo Mine Collapses

US Justice Department Releases Millions of Jeffrey Epstein Files

The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) released millions of files related to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein on Friday, marking the largest release of documents since a law mandated their public sharing last year, according to BBC World. The release included three million pages, 180,000 images, and 2,000 videos. The release came six weeks after the department missed a deadline signed into law by former U.S. President Donald Trump that mandated all Epstein-related documents be shared with the public.

The DOJ stated that "Today's release marks the end of a very comprehensive document identification and review process to ensure" all Epstein-related documents are shared with the public, according to BBC World.

Among the released files were photos featuring former Prince Andrew. Fox News reported that the photos show Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor in three newly released photos from the latest batch of files released by the Department of Justice in relation to the investigation into Jeffery Epstein. In the photos, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor can be seen hovering on all fours over an unidentified woman who is lying on the ground on her back. The woman is fully clothed in all three photos and her face is blacked out. Two of the photos, released on Jan. 30, show Mountbatten-Windsor crouched on the ground with his hand resting on her stomach as he looked down.

Judge Orders Release of Detained Boy

In separate news, a federal judge ordered the release of a 5-year-old Ecuadorian boy and his father from immigration detention in Texas, Fox News reported. The order followed an emergency request after the pair were taken into custody by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in Minneapolis earlier this month.

The New York Times reported that the image of Liam Conejo Ramos, wearing a Spider-Man backpack and an oversize fluffy blue winter hat as he was detained by officers earlier this month, spurred outrage at a moment when many were already incensed by the Trump administrations immigration tactics in Minnesota and elsewhere across the country. The judge condemned their removal from their suburban Minneapolis neighborhood as unconstitutional, according to the New York Times.

Mine Collapse in DR Congo Claims Over 200 Lives

Meanwhile, in the Democratic Republic of Congo, more than 200 people were killed in a mine collapse in the eastern part of the country, BBC World reported. The mine, located in the town of Rubaya, collapsed on Wednesday due to heavy rains, according to Lumumba Kambere Muyisa, spokesman for the North Kivu region's rebel governor.

Women and children were among those mining coltan – a mineral used to manufacture electronics – at the time of the collapse. A former supervisor of the mine told the BBC that the site was not properly maintained, making accidents more likely and hampering rescue efforts. The mine is currently under rebel control, according to BBC World.
