Former President Barack Obama confirmed the existence of extraterrestrial life in an interview published Saturday, while also addressing the recent deployment of immigration agents to Minnesota. Meanwhile, the Trump administration continued its drawdown of immigration enforcement in the state, and President Donald Trump held a campaign-style rally with troops at Fort Bragg.
According to White House border czar Tom Homan, more than 1,000 immigration agents had already left the Twin Cities area of Minnesota, with hundreds more scheduled to depart in the coming days as part of the Trump administration's drawdown of its immigration enforcement surge (Source 1). A small security force would remain for a short period to protect the remaining agents and respond to potential incidents. Homan did not specify the size of this security force. Agents would also continue investigating fraud allegations and the anti-immigration enforcement protest that disrupted a church service.
In a separate event, President Trump held a campaign-style rally on Friday at Fort Bragg, an active Army base in North Carolina (Source 2). He urged troops to vote for Republicans and criticized Democrats. The event included the use of campaign-style music, and Trump shared the stage with a former Republican National Committee chairman. He highlighted his military spending plans and celebrated the restoration of the Fort Bragg name.
Obama, in an interview with progressive podcaster Brian Tyler Cohen, stated that aliens are real but that he had not seen them (Source 3). He also dismissed the idea that they were being held at Area 51. The former president also spoke out about the recent deployment of thousands of immigration agents to Minnesota, condemning what he described as rogue behavior of the federal government.
The news cycle also included developments in international politics. Japan's new leader, Takaichi, secured a record-breaking election victory and is focused on revising the country's pacifist constitution and rebuilding its military (Source 4). She favors big government and strict immigration controls.
In related news, Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker has been actively resisting the Trump administration's immigration policies (Source 5). He has signed laws to limit ICE operations in the state, created the Illinois Accountability Commission, and sued the federal government.
