U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said late Monday that El Salvador's president has offered to accept deportees from the U.S. of any nationality, including violent American criminals now imprisoned in the United States.
President Nayib Bukele "has agreed to the most unprecedented, extraordinary, extraordinary migratory agreement anywhere in the world," Rubio said after meeting with Bukele at his lakeside country house outside San Salvador for several hours. "We can send them and he will put them in his jails," Rubio said of migrants of all nationalities detained in the United States. "And, he's also offered to do the same for dangerous criminals currently in custody and serving their sentences

President Donald Trump scored a significant legal win Monday in his lawsuit against the members of the Pulitzer Prize Board, paving the way towards the discovery phase in their courtroom battle. Last week, the board members filed a motion for Protective Order Governing Discovery in hopes of shielding their internal communications involving the decision to award The New York Times and The Washington Post a Pulitzer Prize for their reporting on Russiagate during Trump's first term in office. Judge Robert L. Pegg of the 19th Judicial Circuit Court in Okeechobee County, Florida, stuck down their motion.

Taiwan will support companies that plan to relocate to the United States, including helping them find partners, the economy ministry said on Monday, outlining assistance it will offer after U.S. President Donald Trump's new tariffs. Trump's orders for additional levies of 25% on imports from Mexico and most goods from Canada, as well as 10% on goods from China, were light on detail. But they kick in on Tuesday and have jolted markets as investors feared a broader trade war could severely hurt global growth. Shares in Taiwanese tech companies with factories in Mexico fell heavily on Monday, with Foxconn closing down 8.1%, Quanta down 9.8% and Inventec off 6.7%.

Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) has arrested two illegal migrants who the agency says were running a drugs and narcotics operation in Maryland and Georgia.
Officials say they busted the two migrants on Thursday, just one day after prosecutors in Queens indicted 10 Tren de Aragua gang members and their associates for similar operations in New York City.
HSI Baltimore posted an image to X of one of the migrants -- with a chain wrapped around his waist -- being led into a law enforcement vehicle by two HSI agents

Aides to Elon Musk charged with running the U.S. government human resources agency have locked career civil servants out of computer systems that contain the personal data of millions of federal employees, according to two agency officials.
Since taking office 11 days ago, President Donald Trump has embarked on a massive government makeover, firing and sidelining hundreds of civil servants in his first steps toward downsizing the bureaucracy and installing more loyalists. Among the group that now runs OPM is Amanda Scales, a former Musk employee, who is now OPM's chief of staff. In some memos sent out by Ezell, including one directing agencies to identify federal workers on probationary periods,

Colombia has been forced back to the drawing board on its $40 billion climate investment plan since President Donald Trump returned to the White House earlier this month. Susana Muhamad, Colombia’s environment minister, had been frantically courting officials in Washington to secure initial funding to help transition the South American nation’s economy away from fossil fuels toward green investments. Colombia’s initial plan was to land a deal with the US while former President Joe Biden was still in office, and the country sent a delegation to Washington earlier this month to deliver on that goal. But that failed,

A combat air patrol of American and Canadian fighter jets was scrambled this week after multiple Russian warplanes were spotted in the Arctic, the North American Aerospace Defense Command said Thursday, marking the latest military incident to unfold in a region that is drawing increasing scrutiny. The Russian aircraft, which remained in international airspace, were not seen as a threat, but eight military planes were dispatched to monitor their activity, NORAD said. Two Canadian CF-18 fighter jets and one refueling aircraft were launched from the Canadian NORAD region, while two U.S. F-35 fighter jets and two refueling aircraft tankers were launched. The Alaskan base also dispatched one AWAC

Tennessee Valley Authority CEO Jeff Lyash — the highest-paid federal employee with a compensation package of $10.5 million per year — abruptly announced Friday that he was retiring 11 days after the return to office of President Trump, who during his first term slammed Lyash’s “ridiculous” pay and vowed to fire him.
“Sounds like Lyash got DOGE’d,” a senior administration official told The Post, referring to Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency initiative to rein in allegedly wasteful federal spending.
A TVA rep denied that Lyash was departing either in response to or to get ahead of pressure from Trump’s team after six years in the job.

Internal political tensions in Ukraine have been rising in anticipation of a cease-fire that might lead to elections. This week, they burst into the open with a striking public rebuke of President Volodymyr Zelensky by the mayor of Kyiv. In a video address issued on Wednesday, the mayor of the country’s capital, Vitali Klitschko, accused the president’s office of abusing the powers of martial law, the latest salvo in a continuing dispute over the use of military rule during the nearly three-year war against Russia. In the last local elections before the invasion, the president’s party, Servant of the People, did not win a single mayoral position in Ukraine.

A 911 call led Coral Gables police to intercept two vans transporting 26 migrants Tuesday morning in what authorities believe is the second human smuggling operation within city limits in less than two weeks. Two alleged smugglers, along with 26 Chinese migrants – nine women and 17 men – were taken into custody. "We believe they came by boat, they came through a secluded area in the southern end of Coral Gables," Coral Gables Police Chief Edward James Hudak Jr said. "They're coming up through a canal area that leads to a private marina."

House Republicans are one step closer to a full majority with the Florida primary wins of Jimmy Patronis and Randy Fine to fill the seats of former Reps. Matt Gaetz and Mike Waltz.
Both men were backed by President Donald Trump. The Associated Press called the primary for Fine, a state senator, receiving over 80% of the vote. "G-d saved [Donald Trump’s] life so he could save the world. And tonight, both of them, powered by my amazing family and all of you who voted for me, put me one step closer to being able to help him do that. I swear I won’t let any of you down,”

Republican Congressman Andy Biggs has officially entered the 2026 Arizona governor’s race. Biggs, who signaled his interest in running for governor last week, made the announcement at the Republican Party of Arizona’s annual meeting on Saturday. “We should be the reddest state in the country,” Biggs said. “We should control our border; we should get better education; we should get water infrastructure in place.
Biggs added, “We could be — Arizona could be the Florida of the West.” Biggs, who has served in Congress since 2017 after spending over a decade at the Arizona Legislature, is a past chairman of the far-right House Freedom Caucus.

I know Reuters is not a favorite source, but this headline was too good to resist. Also note, no mention of factory relocations to Canada.
