Zuckerberg in Court, ICE Agents Trash Talk, Crypto's Dark Side

Mark Zuckerberg took the stand in Los Angeles on February 18, 2026, while simultaneously, the top spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) resigned from her post, according to NPR News. These events unfolded amidst a backdrop of other significant developments, including scrutiny of artificial intelligence and a glimpse into the lifestyle of a cryptocurrency entrepreneur.

The resignation of the DHS spokesperson was announced on the same day Zuckerberg faced a jury, as reported by NPR. The reason for the spokesperson's departure was not immediately clear. Meanwhile, in other news, Savannah Guthrie's mother remained missing, leading to public criticism of the sheriff involved in the case, as detailed by Variety.

In the realm of technology, Google DeepMind was calling for increased scrutiny of the moral behavior of large language models (LLMs), as reported by MIT Technology Review. Researchers at Google DeepMind, including William Isaac and Julia Haas, emphasized the need to assess the trustworthiness of LLMs, especially as they take on more sensitive roles in people's lives. "With coding and math, you have clear-cut, correct answers that you can check," Isaac stated, highlighting the challenge of evaluating LLMs in complex scenarios.

Also drawing attention was the lifestyle of Jean-Paul Thorbjornsen, a cryptocurrency entrepreneur who, according to MIT Technology Review, owns a luxury helicopter emblazoned with "BTC" for Bitcoin. Thorbjornsen claimed a previous crypto project made over AU400 million, although those funds were tied up in the company.

Adding to the day's news, Ars Technica reported on an online forum used by current and former Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) officers. The forum was a place where officers shared opinions and complaints. One user wrote in July 2025, criticizing Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) for what they perceived as excessive displays of force. "ERO is too busy dressing up as Black Ops Commandos with Tactical body armor, drop down thigh rigs, balaclavas, multiple M4 magazines, and Punisher patches, to do an Admin arrest of a non criminal, non-violent EWI that weighs 90 pounds and is 5 foot 2, inside a secure Federal building where everyone has been screened for weapons," the user wrote.
