President-elect Donald Trump’s "border czar" said Thursday that the use of family detention centers for migrants is “on the table,” raising the possibility that the practice ended by the Biden administration could return as early as next year. “It’s something we’re considering," Tom Homan, who was acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement during the first Trump administration, said in an interview. "Look, we’ve got to end catch-and-release — and that includes family units, too,” he added, using a phrase sometimes used to describe migrants’ being released from detention while they await immigration court proceedings. ICE stopped detaining families who enter the country illegally with their children not long after President Joe Biden took office, though administration officials last year considered reviving the practice. Homan, whom Trump announced as his border czar on Nov. 10 , less than a week after he won a second term, said plans are still being discussed. He said that if the Trump administration chooses to go with family detention, “we’re going to try and surge immigration judges to these locations.” During the first Trump administration, Homan backed the “zero tolerance” policy that sparked bipartisan outcry. The policy allowed young children to be separated from their parents. Homan said Thursday that he does not foresee migrant children being separated from their parents on a large scale in Trump's deportation effort. “I don’t envision that at all,” he said. A federal court ruling known as the Flores Settlement Agreement limits the time migrant children can be held in detention to 20 days. Homan said Thursday that he is in favor of challenging that legal framework, which would complicate using any family detention centers. "We're looking at what the law currently says, but then again I think we need to litigate some of the decision," he said. "I think the Flores Settlement Agreement is something that was the wrong decision. “Right now, we know what the rules say. And this is something that we’ll work within until we get another decision or a better decision from the courts,” he said. Homan said the number of detention facilities would depend on the data. At the start of the Biden administration, ICE operated three facilities. "I've got to get the data, which we're now getting access to, to find out how many do we need," Homan said. "And again, based on the data, how are we going to do it." He said detention facilities would be not jails but "open-air campuses" designed for families. Homan suggested that the Trump administration would not consider whether people who are in the country without authorization have children who are U.S. citizens. He said parents who lose their immigration cases "are going to have to make a decision what you want to do: You can either take your child with you or leave the child here in the United States with a relative." Homan also criticized local governments, like San Diego County and Los Angeles, that have taken steps they say will protect undocumented immigrants, and which prevent or restrict local resources available to federal immigration authorities. “We’re going to do this operation, with or without,” Homan said of the deportation plan. “If they want to sit back and watch — disappointing, but we’re going to do it.” Trump campaigned on a pledge to deport people who are in the country without authorization. Details of his plan have not been made clear; he has said his administration will start with those who have committed crimes. On the campaign trail, he referred to migrants as an "invasion.” Some Republicans have tried to tone down Trump's threats of mass deportations after his election victory.

Late winners were just rewards for hard work says Stevenage's Neil BanfieldFLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — New York Jets wide receiver Davante Adams sat out practice Thursday with a hip ailment that makes his status for the game Sunday at Buffalo uncertain. Cornerback Sauce Gardner (hamstring), right tackle Morgan Moses (knee) and right guard Alijah Vera-Tucker (ankle) also were sidelined for the Jets’ first full practice of the week. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who acknowledged Tuesday he’s dealing with “a little MCL” issue in a knee but said “there’s no way I’m not playing,” practiced fully. Adams was apparently injured in New York’s 19-9 loss to the Los Angeles Rams last Sunday, when he had seven catches for 68 yards and a touchdown. Adams, acquired from Las Vegas in October, has 56 receptions for 719 yards and six touchdowns on 94 targets in nine games for the Jets. He’s 72 yards away from his fifth straight 1,000-yard season and sixth of his career. Adams and Rodgers are also tied with Miami’s Dan Marino and Mark Clayton for the third-most TD connections (82), including playoffs, by a quarterback-wide receiver duo. Gardner sat out the second half of the loss to the Rams with the hamstring injury and could miss the game against the Bills. He sat out one game after injuring a hamstring against Seattle in Week 14. It’s unclear if the injuries are related.

Sinn Fein ‘ignored role of 3,000 deaths in damaging community relations’Democrats stick with Schumer as leader. Their strategy for countering Trump is far less certainDigital evidence, chilling searches unveiled during Day 3 of Herrington murder trial Published 5:49 pm Thursday, December 5, 2024 By Alyssa Schnugg The third day of testimony in the murder trial of Timothy Herrington, accused of killing University of Mississippi student Jimmie “Jay” Lee, revealed a detailed web of digital evidence, social media activity, and surveillance footage. Herrington was arrested on July 22, 2022, and charged with Lee’s murder. He was indicted on a capital murder charge and has been out on a $250,000 bond since December 2022. Lee, 20, was last seen at about 6 a.m. on July 8, 2022, when he left his apartment at Campus Walk Apartments. Lee’s body has not been recovered. On Friday, University Police Investigator Ben Douglas testified that after police could not locate Lee after conducting a welfare check, he contacted AT&T to see if Lee’s phone was still active. He was told it was not and then he requested historical pings from 12:17 a.m. through 7:28 a.m. The last two ping locations for Lee’s phone were near Stone Park, across from the Oxford Police Department, and Residential College South, according to Douglas. Douglas said investigators also accessed Lee’s iCloud, Gmail and SnapChat accounts. At the state’s instruction, Douglas read a SnapChat conversation between Lee and Herrington. The tense exchange happened in the early hours of July 8, the day Lee disappeared. The conversation was sexually explicit and Lee accused Herrington of deceptive behavior, expressing mistrust and suggesting he feared being lured into a dangerous situation; however, he agreed to go see Herrington. At 6:03 a.m., Lee’s final message to Herrington read, “Open.” Testimony then turned to Herrington’s search history. According to Douglas, Herrington Googled “How long does it take to strangle someone Gabby Petito” at 5:56 a.m. On July 9. Petito was killed by her fiancé Brian Christopher Laundrie while they were traveling together. Douglas said that is the first suggestion whenever you search “How long does it take to strangle someone.” Warrants were also used to access Herrington’s Facebook and Instagram accounts. According to Douglas’ testimony, Herrington searched “Ole Miss Police,” “Jimmy Lee,” “Oxford Mississippi Police,” and “Find Jimmy Lee,” several times between July 11-15. The trial continues at 9 a.m. on Friday at the Lafayette County Courthouse.

WASHINGTON (AP) — When Elon Musk first suggested a new effort to cut the size of government, Donald Trump didn’t seem to take it seriously. His eventual name for the idea sounded like a joke too. It would be called the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, a reference to an online meme featuring a surprised-looking dog from Japan. But now that Trump has won the election, Musk’s fantasy is becoming reality, with the potential to spark a constitutional clash over the balance of power in Washington. Trump put Musk, the world’s richest man, and Vivek Ramaswamy, an entrepreneur and former Republican presidential candidate, in charge of the new department, which is really an outside advisory committee that will work with people inside the government to reduce spending and regulations. This week, Musk and Ramaswamy said they would encourage Trump to make cuts by refusing to spend money allocated by Congress, a process known as impounding. The proposal goes against a 1974 law intended to prevent future presidents from following in the footsteps of Richard Nixon, who held back funding that he didn’t like. “We are prepared for the onslaught from entrenched interests in Washington,” Musk and Ramaswamy wrote in an opinion piece in The Wall Street Journal. ”We expect to prevail. Now is the moment for decisive action.” Trump has already suggested taking such a big step, saying last year that he would “use the president’s long-recognized impoundment power to squeeze the bloated federal bureaucracy for massive savings.” It would be a dramatic attempt to expand his powers, when he already will have the benefit of a sympathetic Republican-controlled Congress and a conservative-majority U.S. Supreme Court, and it could swiftly become one of the most closely watched legal fights of his second administration. “He might get away with it,” said William Galston, a senior fellow in governance studies at the Brookings Institution, a Washington-based think tank. “Congress’ power of the purse will turn into an advisory opinion.” Musk and Ramaswamy have started laying out their plans Right now, plans for the Department of Government Efficiency are still coming into focus. The nascent organization has put out a call for “super high-IQ small-government revolutionaries willing to work 80+ hours per week on unglamorous cost-cutting.” Applicants are encouraged to submit their resumes through X, the social media company that Musk owns. In the Wall Street Journal, Musk and Ramaswamy provided the most detailed look yet at how they would operate and where they could cut. Some are longtime Republican targets, such as $535 million for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. Other plans are more ambitious and could reshape the federal government. The two wrote that they would “identify the minimum number of employees required at an agency for it to perform its constitutionally permissible and statutorily mandated functions,” leading to “mass head-count reductions across the federal bureaucracy.” Civil service protections wouldn’t apply, they argue, because they wouldn’t be targeting specific people for political purposes. Some employees could choose “voluntary severance payments to facilitate a graceful exit.” But others would be encouraged to quit by mandating that they show up at the office five days a week, ending pandemic-era flexibility about remote work. The requirement “would result in a wave of voluntary terminations that we welcome.” Everett Kelley, president of the American Federation of Government Employees, said such cutbacks would harm services for Americans who rely on the federal government, and he suggested that Musk and Ramaswamy were in over their heads. “I don’t think they’re even remotely qualified to perform those duties,” he said. “That’s my main concern.” Kelley said his union, which represents 750,000 employees for the federal government and the city of Washington, D.C., was ready to fight attempts to slash the workforce. “We’ve been here, we’ve heard this kind of rhetoric before,” he said. “And we are prepared.” Federal regulations would be targeted for elimination There was no mention in the Wall Street Journal of Musk’s previously stated goal of cutting $2 trillion from the budget, which is nearly a third of total annual spending. Nor did they write about “Schedule F,” a potential plan to reclassify federal employees to make them easier to fire. Ramaswamy once described the idea as the “mass deportation of federal bureaucrats out of Washington, D.C.” However, Musk and Ramaswamy said they would reduce regulations that they describe as excessive. They wrote that their department “will work with legal experts embedded in government agencies, aided by advanced technology,” to review regulations that run counter to two recent Supreme Court decisions that were intended to limit federal rulemaking authority. Musk and Ramaswamy said Trump could “immediately pause the enforcement of those regulations and initiate the process for review and rescission.” Chris Edwards, an expert on budget issues at the Cato Institute, said many Republicans have promised to reduce the size and role of government over the years, often to little effect. Sometimes it feels like every budget item and tax provision, no matter how obscure, has people dedicated to its preservation, turning attempts at cuts into political battles of attrition. “Presidents always seem to have higher priorities,” he said. “A lot of it falls to the wayside.” Although DOGE is scheduled to finish its work by July 4, 2026, Edwards said Musk and Ramaswamy should move faster to capitalize on momentum from Trump’s election victory. “Will it just collect dust on a shelf, or will it be put into effect?” Edwards said. “That all depends on Trump and where he is at that point in time.” Ramaswamy said in an online video that they’re planning regular “Dogecasts” to keep the public updated on their work, which he described as “a once-in-a-generation project” to eliminate “waste, fraud and abuse.” “However bad you think it is, it’s probably worse,” he said. Musk and Ramaswamy will have allies in Congress House Republicans are expected to put Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Trump ally from Georgia, in charge of a subcommittee to work with DOGE, according to two people with knowledge of the plans who were not authorized to discuss them publicly. Greene and Rep. James Comer, the Kentucky Republican who chairs the House Oversight Committee, have already met with Ramaswamy, the two people said. Musk brought up the idea for DOGE while broadcasting a conversation with Trump on X during the campaign. “I think we need a government efficiency commission to say like, ‘Hey, where are we spending money that’s sensible. Where is it not sensible?’” Musk said. Musk returned to the topic twice, volunteering his services by saying “I’d be happy to help out on such a commission.” “I’d love it,” Trump replied, describing Musk as “the greatest cutter.” Musk has his own incentives to push this initiative forward. His companies, including SpaceX and Tesla, have billions of dollars in government contracts and face oversight from government regulators. After spending an estimated $200 million to support Trump’s candidacy, he’s poised to have expansive influence over the next administration. Trump even went to Texas earlier this week to watch SpaceX test its largest rocket. DOGE will have an ally in Sen. Rand Paul, a Kentucky Republican who has railed against federal spending for years. He recently told Fox News that he sent “2,000 pages of waste that can be cut” to Musk and Ramaswamy. “I’m all in and will do anything I can to help them,” Paul said.Sean Keeler: Can Deion Sanders, CU Buffs afford to stand pat on OC Pat Shurmur in 2025?It didn’t take Izzy Abanikanda long to find a new home. The New York Jets released Abanikanda — a 5-foot-10, 215-pound running back from Brooklyn, N.Y. — Monday night to clear a roster spot, and the San Francisco 49ers picked him up off waivers Tuesday afternoon, Tom Pelissero reported. Abanikanda was stuck behind Breece Hall and Braelon Allen in New York, but he’s entering a favorable situation with the 49ers. Christian McCaffrey and Jordan Mason, the 49ers’ top two running backs, were both placed on the IR this week. So, it left rookie Isaac Guerendo as the only healthy back on the roster. Abanikanda has an opportunity for serious playing time to finish the season. The #49ers claimed RB Israel Abanikanda off waivers from the #Jets . — Tom Pelissero (@TomPelissero) December 3, 2024 Abanikanda hasn’t played in a game yet this season, but he recorded 22 carries for 70 yards and seven receptions for 43 yards as a rookie last season. The Jets selected Abanikanda in the fifth round of the 2023 NFL Draft. Abanikanda was an All-ACC, All-American running back at Pitt in 2022, serving as perhaps the best all-purpose weapon in college football, finishing fourth in all-purpose yards (1,805 yards) and second in all-purpose yards per game (164 yards) in college football last season. And he led the nation in total touchdowns (21). He rushed for 1,431 yards and 20 touchdowns, averaging six yards per attempt and added 146 receiving yards and 228 kickoff return yards. It was a campaign with few historical rivals. It ranks as the eighth-best single-season effort in Pitt history, and his 320 yards and six touchdowns against Virginia Tech broke and tied, respectively, single-game program records. In his Pitt career, Izzy Abanikanda rushed 390 times for 2,177 yards and 28 touchdowns, caught 38 passes for 354 yards and three touchdowns and returned 19 kickoffs for 434 yards and a touchdown. His 28 career touchdowns also rank eighth in team history, while he’s just one of four Pitt players to rush for at least 20 touchdowns in a single season. The 49ers are back in action this weekend against the Chicago Bears. This article first appeared on Pittsburgh Sports Now and was syndicated with permission.The Seattle Seahawks will be without one of their top players for the rest of the 2024 season. Seattle placed running back Kenneth Walker III on injured reserve on Thursday, effectively ending his season. The Seahawks made the move hours ahead of their Thursday night Week 17 matchup with the Chicago Bears . In a corresponding move, the Seahawks signed running back George Holani of the practice squad to fill Walker's spot on the active roster. The team also elevated veteran cornerback and former first-round pick Artie Burns . Walker missed two games earlier this year with an oblique injury. A calf injury sidelined him for Seattle's Week 14 win over the Cardinals as well as during its Week 15 loss to the Packers . In all, Walker played in 11 games this season, rushing for 573 yards and seven touchdowns. He also set career highs with 46 receptions and 299 yards. Walker also caught a touchdown pass during Seattle's Week 7 win over Seattle. A 2022 second-round pick, Walker has proven to be effective when healthy. He rushed for 1,050 yards and nine touchdowns as a rookie and picked up 905 yards and eight touchdowns in 2023. Walker exceeded 1,110 all-purpose yards both years. Injuries, however, have hindered Walker's availability. He missed two games apiece during his first two seasons and will miss six games this season. Walker's absence has created more opportunities for backup Zach Charbonnet , a 2023 second-round pick who leads Seattle with eight touchdown runs. Charbonnet, who played well in a limited role last year, capped off his college career with a standout season at UCLA, rushing for 1,359 yards and 14 touchdowns while averaging a whopping 7.0 yards-per-carry. "You guys have been exposed to Zach [Charbonnet] longer than I have," Seahawks first-year head coach Mike Macdonald told reporters earlier this week. "To me, it seems like he's been the same guy since we [drafted him]. That's one of the things you love about him, he's the same guy every day. Incredibly prepared, runs the ball tough, runs it hard. I think he's growing as a player and as a person, but that just speaks to his work ethic." The Seahawks will need Charbonnet to be at his best during the season's final two weeks. Seattle (8-7) is currently battling with five other teams to capture one of the remaining three NFC playoff spots.
