Former MSNBC host Joy Reid criticized rapper Nicki Minaj for her association with former President Donald Trump, while the Trump administration moved to deport a five-year-old boy detained by ICE in Minnesota, and the US Ambassador to Poland severed ties with the Polish Speaker of Parliament. These developments occurred amid reports about the upcoming "Trump Phone" and the rise of far-right politics in Portugal.
Reid, on a segment of "The Don Lemon Show," condemned Minaj, accusing her of being used by Trump, according to Fox News. Minaj has faced criticism from liberal figures for aligning with the Trump administration on issues such as stopping the killings of Christians in Nigeria.
Meanwhile, the Trump administration's decision to deport five-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos, detained by ICE agents in Minnesota, was confirmed by Homeland Security, as reported by Sky News. The boy and his father were taken into custody outside their Minneapolis home on January 20th. A lawyer for the boy disputed claims of expedited removal.
In Poland, US Ambassador Tom Rose took the unprecedented step of severing diplomatic relations with the Speaker of the Polish Parliament, Wlodzimierz Czarzasty, according to Euronews. Rose announced that contact would cease immediately, although the specific reasons for the decision were not disclosed.
In other news, The Verge reported on the development of the "Trump Phone," the T1 Phone, after speaking with Trump Mobile executives. The phone's final design was revealed, although it was expected to lose the T1 logo.
Finally, Al Jazeera reported on the surge of the far-right in Portugal, with the leader of the Chega party, Andre Ventura, gaining prominence. The article was written from The Algarve, Portugal, after fierce storms.
