Former President Barack Obama confirmed the existence of extraterrestrial life in an interview published Saturday, while the Trump administration scaled back its immigration enforcement surge in Minnesota, according to multiple news reports. Obama stated, "They're real," but added, "I haven't seen them. They're not being kept at Area 51."
The former president's comments came in response to a question about extraterrestrial life from progressive podcaster Brian Tyler Cohen, according to Time. The interview did not delve further into the topic. Meanwhile, the Trump administration's decision to reduce its immigration enforcement presence in the Twin Cities area followed criticism and protests, as reported by Fortune. Over 1,000 agents had already departed, with hundreds more scheduled to leave.
The drawdown in Minnesota, as detailed by Fortune, comes after the deployment of thousands of immigration agents. The enforcement efforts and investigations into fraud and protest-related incidents will continue. The reduction followed criticism and protests related to the operation, including the deaths of two U.S. citizens, according to Fortune.
In other news, Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker has been actively resisting ICE operations, signing laws to limit their activities in the state, according to Vox. Pritzker has also created the Illinois Accountability Commission and sued the federal government.
The news cycle also included discussions around Tom Morello's directorial debut and the ongoing international conflicts, according to Variety. Additionally, the "Epstein Files" emails' strange symbols are likely a conversion artifact, and the film "Possession" is recommended for its surreal nature, according to Variety.
