Today’s Headlines: The U.S. and Colombia have struck a deal to resume deportation flights, avoiding tariffs and visa restrictions for now, though Trump’s team is keeping those threats on the table. Immigration enforcement is in full swing, with ICE arrests skyrocketing and reports of Navajo citizens being detained during raids. Meanwhile, Trump’s DOJ fired officials involved in Jack Smith’s investigations and is asking new hires some eyebrow-raising “loyalty” questions. The CDC has also been ordered to cut ties with the WHO, sparking more public health concerns. On the tech front, China’s AI startup DeepSeek is making waves with a cheaper, more efficient model that’s shaking up U.S. tech stocks. And finally Tucker Carlson’s son, Buckley, is set to join VP J.D. Vance’s office as deputy press secretary.
