Deportees seen at the US-Mexico border in Tijuana on 21 January
1,500 active-duty troops headed to US-Mexico border
WASHINGTON — US President Donald Trump told US government agencies to prepare to "immediately repel, repatriate, and remove" undocumented immigrants as part of a wider effort to fight what he's termed an "invasion" across the southern border.Trump's order comes as US officials announce the deployment of additional active duty troops to the border, and as processes that allow swift deportations are expanded.The US also moved to cancel all refugee travel and processing, leaving thousands stranded as they wait to come to the US.White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said Trump is "sending a very strong message" to people around the world with the actions.An executive action, posted to the White House's website, argues that the measures are...

Giant iceberg on crash course with island — penguins and seals in danger
LONDON — The world's largest iceberg is on a collision course with a remote British island, potentially putting penguins and seals in danger.The iceberg is spinning northwards from Antarctica toward South Georgia, a rugged British territory and wildlife haven, where it could ground and smash into pieces. It is currently 173 miles (280km) away.Countless birds and seals died on South Georgia's icy coves and beaches when past giant icebergs stopped them feeding."Icebergs are inherently dangerous. I would be extraordinarily happy if it just completely missed us," sea captain Simon Wallace tells BBC News, speaking from the South Georgia government vessel Pharos.Around the world a group of scientists, sailors and fishermen are anxiously checking satellite pictures to monitor...

On the day of the riot, a mob stormed the US Capitol as the 2020 presidential election was being certified
Convicted US Capitol rioter turns down Trump pardon
WASHINGTON — One of the people who served jail time for taking part in the US Capitol riot four years ago has refused a pardon from President Donald Trump, saying: "We were wrong that day."Pamela Hemphill, who pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 60 days in prison, told the BBC that there should be no pardons for the riot on 6 January 2021."Accepting a pardon would only insult the Capitol police officers, rule of law and, of course, our nation," she said."I pleaded guilty because I was guilty, and accepting a pardon also would serve to contribute to their gaslighting and false narrative."Hemphill, who was nicknamed the "Maga granny" by social media users - in reference to Trump's "make America great again" slogan - said she saw the...

Republicans struggle to answer for Trump’s pardon of January 6 defendants 
WASHINGTON — Republican senators struggled to defend Donald Trump’s decision to commute and pardon hundreds of January 6 protesters, including those who were charged and convicted of crimes against police officers, just hours after the president entered office Monday.Sen. Thom Tillis, a Republican from North Carolina, who has warned before about giving a blanket pardon to the rioters, said, “I just can’t agree” with Trump’s decision to commute the sentences or pardon a vast swath of January 6 insurrection participants.He added the move “raises legitimate safety issues on Capitol Hill” before also attacking former President Joe Biden’s pardons in his final hours in office.Trump’s executive action, which many GOP senators had hoped would be directed at only nonviolent...

Migrants despair over Trump border restrictions
TIJUANA, Mexico — Shivering a little, Marcos pulls his hoodie over his head as much to protect his identity as to shield him from the cold.A year ago, at just 16 years old, he says he was forcibly recruited into a drug cartel in his home state of Michoacán, Mexico.Recounting his story of horror and escape, Marcos (not his real name) says he and his family fled Michoacán with only what they were wearing.Leaving for the pharmacy one evening to buy painkillers for his mother's toothache, he says he was suddenly surrounded by four pick-up trucks with armed men inside."Get in," he says they ordered, "or we'll kill your family."They dragged him off to a shack where several other youths were in the same predicament, according to Marcos.For months, he says he was...

Tariffs on imports only way to get fairness, says Trump
WASHINGTON — US President Donald Trump has said he is considering imposing a 10% tariff on imports of Chinese-made goods as soon as 1 February.Trump said discussions with his administration were "based on the fact that they're sending fentanyl to Mexico and Canada."It followed threats by Trump to levy import taxes of 25% on Mexico and Canada, accusing them of allowing undocumented migrants and drugs to come into the US.In a press conference in Washington on Tuesday, Trump also vowed to hit the European Union with tariffs."China is an abuser, but the European Union is is very, very bad to us," he said."They treat us very, very badly. So they're going to be in for tariffs. It's the only way you're going to get back. It's the only way you're...

Ulbricht was convicted in 2015
Trump pardons Silk Road dark web market creator Ross Ulbricht
WASHINGTON — US President Donald Trump says he has signed a full and unconditional pardon for Ross Ulbricht, who operated Silk Road, the dark web marketplace where illegal drugs were sold.Ulbricht was convicted in 2015 in New York in a narcotics and money laundering conspiracy and sentenced to life in prison.Trump posted on his Truth Social platform that he had called Ulbricht's mother to inform her that he had granted a pardon to her son.Silk Road, which was shut down in 2013 after police arrested Ulbricht, sold illegal drugs using Bitcoin, as well as hacking equipment and stolen passports."The scum that worked to convict him were some of the same lunatics who were involved in the modern day weaponization of government against me," Trump said in his post online on Tuesday...

4 dead in brutal cold as once-in-a-generation winter storm hits the US South
AUSTIN, Texas — At least four people are believed to have died as a result of the dangerous cold gripping much of the country, as a once-in-a-generation winter storm wreaks havoc on the Gulf Coast— a region wholly unaccustomed to winter weather.Officials in Austin, Texas, are investigating two deaths as suspected cold-related deaths, according to the Austin-Travis County Emergency Medical Services, or ATCEMS. While the medical examiner’s office has not made a final determination of the causes of death, “they are currently suspected to be cold-related due to the circumstances,” it said.Both people were found outside, ATCEMS said. CNN has reached out to the medical examiner for more information.Meantime, one person in Georgia died from hypothermia after being exposed to freezing...

Trump pardons give Jan 6 defendants nearly everything they wanted
WASHINGTON — Until Monday, even some of Donald Trump's team did not seem to believe he would release all of those arrested after riots at the US Capitol on 6 January 2021."If you committed violence on that day, obviously you shouldn't be pardoned," Vice-President JD Vance said a little over a week ago.A few days later, testifying in front of Congress, Trump's nominee for Attorney General Pam Bondi agreed with a Democratic senator who asked her to condemn the violence of that day."I do not agree with violence against any police officer," she said, adding that she was willing to look individually at each of the more than 1,500 riot-linked cases.Trump, however, took a far more sweeping approach to the cases on his first day in office.He issued a handful of...

24 Democratic states and cities sue over Trump’s bid to end birthright citizenship
WASHINGTON — Two dozen Democratic-led states and cities are challenging President Donald Trump’s bid to end birthright citizenship in court, a major constitutional challenge to one of the White House’s signature policies.The lawsuits allege that a Trump executive order signed Monday violates the 14th Amendment of the Constitution, which gives a constitutional right of citizenship to all children born in the United States.“Despite a President’s broad powers to set immigration policy, however, the Citizenship Stripping Order falls far outside the legal bounds of the President’s authority,” states a lawsuit from 18 states, Washington, DC, and San Francisco.The case could end up becoming the first major Supreme Court showdown for Trump’s second-term agenda. The 18 states filed...
