World Reels: Border Shift, Nigeria Massacre, Probes, and Protests Explode

Minneapolis Sees Drawdown of Federal Agents Amidst National and Global Turmoil

Minneapolis, MN - The White House announced Wednesday that it would withdraw 700 federal immigration agents from Minneapolis following a month-long enforcement surge. According to White House border czar Tom Homan, the drawdown of agents from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) was facilitated by "unprecedented cooperation between federal and local officials," Time reported. Despite the departure, approximately 2,000 federal law enforcement officers will remain in the area. "This is smart law enforcement, not less law enforcement," Homan stated at a press conference, emphasizing that a complete pullback would depend on continued cooperation from Minnesota.

The announcement comes amidst a backdrop of national and global events. Multiple news sources reported that Republican Representative Barry Loudermilk of Georgia would not seek re-election after six terms, citing a desire to spend more time with his family. His decision contributes to a growing wave of GOP retirements. According to Fox News, some analysts, including Guy Benson, warned that the midterms could be challenging for Republicans if certain factors materialize.

In the entertainment world, Variety reported that musician Finneas defended his sister, Billie Eilish, after she declared "fuck ICE" during her Grammys acceptance speech for "Wildflower." The statement reportedly angered some powerful older men, whom Finneas implied were connected to the Epstein files. Separately, Donald Trump has reportedly ordered a federal search for Savannah Guthrie's mother, according to multiple news sources.

Globally, a massacre in Nigeria left over 160 people dead in attacks on two villages in Kwara State. The Guardian reported that a local politician attributed the violence to the Lakurawa, an armed group affiliated with Islamic State, while residents claimed the attackers were jihadists demanding allegiance to Sharia law. The Nigerian military launched an offensive in the state last month, and security forces are currently combing the area for survivors and missing persons following the attacks, which also involved the torching of homes and shops.

In the technology sector, BBC Technology reported that Pinterest fired two engineers for violating company policy and privacy. The engineers allegedly wrote a script to identify and share the names of employees affected by recent layoffs, which impacted roughly 700 roles as part of a shift towards an AI-focused approach. The script accessed confidential company information to detect employee removals from internal communication tools, reflecting broader anxieties amid widespread tech industry layoffs.
