Nobody in Wilder, Idaho expected this. The tiny farming town of 1,725 people"where nine out of ten voters backed Donald Trump in 2024"is now scrambling to figure out what comes next after federal immigration agents swept through in mid-October and arrested more than 100 Hispanic workers at a local horse racetrack. So far, 75 people have been deported, and the farms that keep this place running are facing a labour shortage with no easy fix in sight. David Lincoln, who's lived here for years, didn't mince words when he spoke to reporters. The raid has 'nearly destroyed' the town, he said.

President Donald Trump tore into Canada on Monday evening with an eyebrow-raising post on Truth Social, in which he wildly claimed China will "terminate ALL Ice Hockey being played in Canada." Trump's odd post began with him griping about the construction of the Gordie Howe International Bridge between Windsor, Ontario and Detroit, Michigan, which is expected to open in early 2026.

Ford has refused to fire the factory worker who heckled President Donald Trump last month. Thomas "TJ" Sabula, 40, was suspended after calling Trump a "pedophile protector," but United Auto Workers Vice President Laura Dickerson says the 40-year-old is back working and does not have a negative mark on his personnel file.

Dickerson said that the president also told the auto worker, "You're fired." The union leader told a Washington crowd on Monday that it would never happen. "This ain't The Apprentice," Reuters reports Dickerson said, referring to Trump's pre-politics life as the host of the reality TV show.
Thousands of pro-lifers came for the Jan. 23 march and concert at the National Mall and now the D.C. Department of Health has reported multiple cases of the potentially fatal disease reported in the weeks after, The New Republic reported.

"Many on the right oppose vaccination, with some citing religious reasons, making the march a possible hotbed of measles infections."
