History tells us that those who take the biggest stage in US sports have not shied away from using it as an opportunity to make a statement.

In some ways, Bad Bunny, this year’s Super Bowl halftime show performer, has already made his, taking the Grammys stage last Sunday and echoing a rallying cry heard at anti-ICE protests across the nation. The question now: What else will Bad Bunny have to say and will he say it during the halftime show?

“I think that regardless of what he does or doesn't do, his presence there is deeply political,” Puerto Rico historian Jorell Meléndez-Badillo told CNN, noting that Bad Bunny's show will undoubtedly put the "complex and uncomfortable realities of United States history" in relation to his homeland of Puerto Rico before a huge audience.

Throughout history, artists appearing on the Super Bowl stage – whether that be to sing the National Anthem or headline the Halftime Show – have time and again used their platform to make a statement about what’s going on off the field.

A top Russian military official was taken to the hospital after being shot in Moscow. He was shot several times on the stairwell of his apartment by an unknown man, and he is currently in critical condition. He has been through surgery, but he is in a coma. They have yet to find the guy who did this, but they have a suspicion of thinking that it may have been one of the Russian officers who were involved.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A senior Russian military official has been rushed to hospital after being shot in Moscow on Friday, state media reported.

Lt Gen Vladimir Alekseyev was shot several times outside his apartment by an unknown gunman in the north-west of the city and is in critical condition, according to early reports.

Alekseyev is a deputy director of Russia's military intelligence agency, the GRU. He has been widely described as a key figure overseeing the country's private military companies and was among the senior officials dispatched to negotiate with Yevgeny Prigozhin during the Wagner group's brief mutiny in the summer of 2023.

He is also under US sanctions for his alleged involvement in efforts to interfere in the 2020 presidential election.

No party has claimed responsibility for the attack, but suspicion in Moscow is likely to fall on Kyiv. Ukrainian intelligence agencies have targeted dozens of Russian military officers and Russian-installed officials since the start of the war, accusing them of involvement in war crimes.

Little is publicly known about the clandestine networks believed to be behind assassinations and attacks on military infrastructure inside Russia and in Russian-controlled territories.
More details soon ...

This weekend, tens of thousands of people will make their way to the Bay Area city of Santa Clara, ready to celebrate a weekend at the Super Bowl.

Beneath the jubilant mood, some residents and officials have been grappling with the possibility of ICE enforcement operations during the game, and taking steps to prepare.

Both Kristi Noem, the Department of Homeland Security secretary, and her adviser Corey Lewandowski announced in the fall that agents would conduct operations during the nation's largest sporting event. While Homeland Security Investigations teams that are focused on preventing human trafficking and the sale of counterfeit goods have long worked the event, immigration operations would be unusual.

In the city of Santa Clara, where nearly half of residents were born outside the US, fear was building as the game approached, said Lisa Gillmor, the mayor.

People were afraid of being targeted simply for having brown skin, she said: "They're afraid to send their kids to school. There's fear that maybe they should leave during the Super Bowl if the city is going to be inundated with ICE agents."

This week, however, the NFL, which has long partnered with DHS, said there would be "no planned ICE enforcement activities". "We are confident of that," said Cathy Lanier, the league's chief security officer.

Gavin Newsom, California's governor, said on Thursday that his office had been "assured there will be no immigration enforcement tied to the game".

In a statement to the Guardian last week, the DHS declined to confirm reports about operations around Levi's Stadium, writing that the agency does "not disclose future operations or discuss personnel".

"DHS is committed to working with our local and federal partners to ensure the Super Bowl is safe for everyone involved, as we do with every major sporting event, including the World Cup," said DHS assistant secretary Tricia McLaughlin.

The announcement from the NFL has brought relief, but residents are still on edge, said Otto Lee, the president of the Santa Clara county board of supervisors.

"It helps alleviate some fear in the community, but at the same time, we certainly need to prepare for the worst," Lee said.

Officials in Santa Clara county were already anticipating a demanding year ahead as the area prepared to host some six World Cup games this summer and the Super Bowl.

The threat of an ICE presence added new challenges.

As the Trump administration has implemented its mass deportation agenda and staged aggressive operations in which agents have killed two US citizens, alarm has spread across the US.

Although northern California has had low ICE arrest rates, communities there have been readying themselves. Last fall, the Trump administration was expected to deploy more than 100 immigration agents to San Francisco, but the president ultimately called off the operation after conversations with the city's mayor and tech leaders.

Santa Clara county has a rapid response network that tracks ICE activity and provides verified information to residents.

Lee said at a recent board of supervisors meeting that ICE agents don't have "absolute immunity", and that local law enforcement would arrest anyone who "comes into our county masked, spreading terror, breaking laws or threatening our residents".

Lee and other officials were outraged by the possibility of ICE activity at the Super Bowl. The county is focused on ensuring it will be a safe event, and enforcement activities would bring chaos. ICE activities in Minnesota created havoc, Lee said, with "incompetent chaos [and] trigger-happy gunmen".

"That truly endangers everybody's lives. And certainly does not make our community safer," he added.

On Monday, the US representative Ro Khanna, whose district includes Santa Clara, and some 21 other members of Congress sent a letter to Noem demanding DHS not deploy immigration enforcement personnel.

"This should be a moment of celebration, unity, and economic opportunity, not a flashpoint for fear, polarization, and violence," they wrote.

This week, the Santa Clara city council passed an ordinance banning federal authorities from using city property for immigration enforcement. Protests are expected outside the game, and volunteers plan to patrol near the stadium around the community looking out for ICE.

Gillmor hopes that NFL's announcement will hold true, and she suspects that it will, given that the administration likely doesn't want to disrupt the day for wealthy ticket holders. If there were an ICE presence, she said, local law enforcement would not cooperate with the federal agents, as state law mandates.

"I'm trying to calm the waters here to let them know that we have their back in Santa Clara," she said. "In the event [ICE] did come, we're going to uphold the law no matter what, but they're not going to get any assistance from us."

But the issues go beyond the Super Bowl, she said, and anxiety will surely escalate in the coming months as the community prepares for the World Cup and visitors from around the world.

"The core issue is ICE and the way that they've conducted their operations," she said. "Fear is at a crescendo now, but I think that the underlying issue has been building a long time. And it's not going to stop. After this game, it's going to reappear again no matter what."

in the congo a mine collapsed and many people are feared to be dead. it took place Wednesday at the Rubaya mines, which are controlled by the M23 rebels, Lumumba Kambere Muyisa, the spokesperson of the rebel-appointed governor of North-Kivu province told The Associated Press. He said the landslide was caused by heavy rains.

“For now, there are more than 200 dead, some of whom are still in the mud and have not yet been recovered,” Muyisa said. He added that several others were injured and taken to three health facilities in the town of Rubaya, while ambulances were expected to transfer the wounded Saturday to Goma, the nearest city around 50 kilometers (30 miles) away.

The rebel-appointed governor of North Kivu has temporarily halted artisanal mining on the site and ordered the relocation of residents who had built shelters near the mine, Muyisa said.

Elon Musk merged SpaceX and xAI to build 1 million AI data centers in orbit, citing Earth's power and space limitations. These centers use massive amounts of electricity and water, spiking bills 267% and draining town water supplies. Space offers 8x more solar power and natural cooling without land requirements. Google, OpenAI, and Starcloud are already testing orbital AI. Engineering challenges exist, but experts predict space dominance in 10 years. This sidesteps community backlash against ground-based centers.

This was the 35th attack like this since September, and the military says these strikes help stop illegal drugs from entering the United States. However, Colombia's president has criticized these attacks, comparing them to war crimes, especially since some Colombian citizens have been hurt or killed in previous strikes.

A gas station refused fuel to ICE Agents after they stopped off a highway to fill up goverment used vehicles. The video footage that quickly spread online showed a man identifying himself as the store’s manager denying service and stating that he did not support ICE, adding that no one at the store did either. The agents were told to leave without being allowed to purchase fuel. Within hours, the encounter became a lightning rod. Critics accused the business of politicizing a basic commercial service, while supporters framed the refusal as a form of protest.
