USA Hockey Dominates, Deputy Saves, Olympics Controversy Brews

Team USA's women's hockey team secured a dominant 6-0 victory over Italy in the quarterfinals of the Winter Olympics on Friday, advancing to the semifinals, while controversy swirled around the Games due to a banned Ukrainian athlete and the sale of a controversial t-shirt. Elsewhere, a Florida deputy was captured on bodycam video rescuing a woman from a burning car, and a surge of ICE arrests continues to overwhelm the federal court system.

The women's hockey team's win extended their shutout streak to 271 minutes, according to Fox News. The game took place at the Milano Rho Ice Hockey Arena. The team had previously outscored opponents 20-1 in four games, including a 5-0 shutout of Team Canada, as reported by Fox News.

Meanwhile, Ukrainian skeleton slider Vladyslav Heraskevych was disqualified from the Olympics after refusing to remove a helmet that depicted fellow athletes killed since Russia's full-scale invasion, according to BBC World. His appeal was denied on Friday. The helmet featured images of teenage weightlifter Alina Perehudova, boxer Pavlo Ishchenko, and ice hockey player Oleksiy Lohinov, among others.

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) faced criticism over a sold-out T-shirt on the official Olympics website, which depicted the 1936 Berlin Olympics poster designed by German artist Franz Würbel, used as propaganda by Adolf Hitler to promote the Nazi idea of Aryan supremacy, according to Fox News. The shirt's design was a point of contention, especially given the historical context of the games and the achievements of Black American Jesse Owens, who won four track and field gold medals at the games.

In other news, a Florida deputy was caught on bodycam footage pulling a woman from a burning car after a carjacking incident, as reported by Fox News. The incident occurred after the suspect crashed into another vehicle.

Additionally, a surge of ICE arrests has overwhelmed the federal court system, according to the New York Times. The arrests followed the Trump administration's immigration crackdown in Minnesota. Even after federal agents leave, the cases will continue to strain federal courtrooms across the country.
