Absolute comedy gold. In classic fashion, the corrupt White House tries to lie to the citizens it's supposed to govern in good faith.

The White House posted a photo on social media that was digitally altered to make it look like a protester was sobbing as she was arrested in connection with a protest against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement at a Minnesota church.

A photo of Nekima Levy Armstrong's arrest — showing Armstrong with a neutral expression — was first posted on X by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem Thursday morning. The image the White House posted appears the same except Armstrong's altered facial expression shows her distressed, with tears running down her face.

The White House posted the image of Armstrong seemingly crying with a caption calling her "a far-left agitator," roughly 30 minutes after Noem posted the initial image. The altered version was also reposted on X by Vice President JD Vance.

The White House's post drew a flood of comments from X users, with many saying the image appeared to have been manipulated.

In response to CBS News' request for comment on whether the photo was altered, the White House press office sent a link to an X post by White House spokesman Kaelan Dorr referring to the post as a "meme."

Despite driving at 194 km/h on a public road and causing a fatal accident, he was found guilty of negligent driving resulting in death or injury.
He was convicted of causing death by dangerous driving at first instance, but the High Court overturned the conviction.

This judicial decision is believed to be based on previous court decisions which held that "since the car was traveling in a straight line, negligence exists even if the car was intentionally traveling at several hundred kilometers per hour."
This is completely unacceptable to the bereaved families, and we believe it is a problem for society as a whole, especially from the perspective of preventing and deterring traffic accidents.

The family has started an online petition. We ask for your cooperation. The petition period ends on January 28th.

Faced with Democrats polling up in midterm races, President Donald Trump suggested that "we shouldn't even have" midterm elections during a new interview with Reuters
In the interview, Trump blamed "some deep psychological thing" for the looming threat that Republicans might lose Congress in November
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said during a press briefing on Jan. 15 that the president was "speaking facetiously" when he made the comment

Faced with the looming threat that Republicans might lose control of Congress, President Donald Trump suggested America should call off its upcoming midterm elections.

The president, 79, sat down with Reuters for an interview on Wednesday, Jan. 14, during which he addressed new polling numbers. The Lincoln Project reported this week that 18 House races have recently shifted in the Democrats' favor, and the Senate is thought to be up for grabs as well.

“It's some deep psychological thing, but when you win the presidency, you don't win the midterms,” Trump said.

He even went so far as to boast that the first year of his second term had gone so well that "when you think of it, we shouldn't even have an election."

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt attempted to walk back the president's comments about midterms while speaking with the press on Thursday, Jan. 15. Leavitt, 28, said she was in the room during Trump's interview with Reuters, which was not recorded, and insisted he was "joking" about doing away with elections.

A jury has acquitted former Uvalde, Texas, school police officer Adrian Gonzales for his response to the Robb Elementary shooting in May 2022.

After more than seven hours of deliberations, the jury returned a not guilty verdict Wednesday evening on all 29 counts of child endangerment.

As the verdict was read, Gonzalez bowed his head as he heard it. Several of those sitting in the gallery started crying. He hugged his lawyers, shook hands and appeared to be tearing up.

Gonzales was among the first officers to respond to the mass shooting, in which 19 students and two teachers were killed. It took 77 minutes before law enforcement mounted a counterassault to end the rampage.

Prosecutors alleged Gonzales did not follow his training and endangered the 19 students who died and an additional 10 surviving students.

Lawyers for Gonzales, who pleaded not guilty, argued he was unfairly blamed for a broader law-enforcement failure that day.

When he walked out of the courtroom on Wednesday night after the jury acquitted him, Gonzales was a man of few words.

Before the audience in Davos, President Donald Trump repeated a claim on Wednesday that he's said before -- that the Russian war on Ukraine "wouldn't have started" if the 2020 U.S. presidential election "weren't rigged."
One thing is for certain: The 2020 election was not stolen. Biden earned 306 electoral votes to Trump's 232. Trump's allegations of massive voting fraud have been broadly refuted.


Trump, who has long been calling for prosecutions related to the 2020 election, added that "people will soon be prosecuted for what they did." It wasn't immediately clear what he meant.

President Donald Trump appeared to flip off a person heard calling him a “pedophile protector” during his visit to Michigan on Tuesday.

Video obtained by TMZ shows the president at the Ford plant. He appears to point at the accuser as he says, “f*** you,” then gives the person the middle finger as he walks away.

The president was touring Ford’s River Rouge complex in Dearborn, Michigan Tuesday afternoon before delivering a speech at the Detroit Economic Club.

The accusation against Trump came after the president pushed back on the release of the Epstein files for months last year, despite saying on the campaign trail he would release the files if reelected.

Trump had been a close associate of the convicted sex offender, and his pushback on releasing the files sparked widespread outrage, even from some of his MAGA supporters, and raised further questions about the president’s own relationship with the disgraced financier, who died in jail in 2019.

After months of delays, a bipartisan group of lawmakers last fall was able to buck GOP leadership and force a vote for the Justice Department to release the full Epstein files.

As the bill appeared poised to pass with overwhelming support, the president reversed course and backed it.

However, the Justice Department has since failed to meet multiple deadlines, including its requirement to release all the files with limited redactions by mid-December as well as provide more information on its redactions to Congress as required by law.

School district officials in Columbia Heights, Minnesota, say their sense of security is shaken and their hearts shattered after four students from the district have recently been taken by officers with Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

The Columbia Heights Public School District says two children were taken on Tuesday, including a 17-year-old boy on his way to school. He was removed from his car and taken away.

Then in the afternoon, 5-year-old Liam Ramos was taken with his father while in their driveway after just arriving home from his preschool classroom. School officials say the child was used as bait to knock on the door and ask to be let in, letting officers see if anyone else was home.

"Why detain a 5-year-old? You can't tell me that this child is going to be classified as a violent criminal," said superintendent Zena Stenvik.

Two weeks ago, a 10-year-old student in fourth grade was taken by ICE agents on her way to elementary school with her mother. During the arrest, the child called her father on the phone to tell her that ICE agents were bringing her to school. The father then came to the school to find out both his daughter and wife had been taken.

School officials say both children and their parents are being held in a detention center in Texas. They say Liam Ramos' family is following U.S. legal parameters and has an active asylum case with no order of deportation.

US President Donald Trump has threatened to invoke the rarely used Insurrection Act to quell unrest over federal immigration enforcement operations in Minneapolis.

He threatened to send in troops following a night of protests and vandalism in the Minnesota city after an agent shot a man in the leg.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said an officer opened fire after he was attacked by three Venezuelan nationals with a shovel and broom handle.

Tensions have been running high in Minneapolis since an immigration agent fatally shot Renee Nicole Good, 37, last week, sparking nationwide protests.

The Insurrection Act is a 19th Century law that allows active-duty military personnel to be deployed for law enforcement duties inside the US.

Trump has previously said he might invoke the 1807 law elsewhere without ever doing so.

The president posted on Truth Social that he would use the law if Minnesota officials failed to stop the "professional agitators and insurrectionists".

DHS said Wednesday's shooting occurred after a car chase involving a Venezuelan national, Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis, who was previously convicted for driving without a licence.

The agency statement said after the pursuit, Sosa-Celis got out of his vehicle and fought with the federal agent.

Two more migrants from Venezuela who entered the country illegally, Alfredo Alejandro Ajorna and Gabriel Alejandro Hernandez-Ledezma, came out of a nearby apartment, according to the agency.

All three attacked the law enforcement officer with a snow shovel and broom handle, DHS said, before the agent opened fire, hitting Sosa-Celis in the leg.

The agent was taken to hospital. Sosa-Celis was also taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries. All three Venezuelans were arrested.
