DHS alleged it focused on dangerous criminals during operations in NC but has not released proof. Very few names have been made public among hundreds of people seized this month.

Russia won’t make any concessions in a so-called peace deal.
Deputy FM Ryabkov claims that all possible concessions were already made by Putin “in Anchorage, Alaska.” Everything else is off the table, they won’t discuss it publicly and will continue pushing to achieve all declared goals.

“After Ferreira was detained, Dos Santos Rodrigues said Michael Leavitt Sr. and his father, Bob Leavitt, reached out to her.”
“‘They just kept saying, ‘Tell her to self-deport,’” she recalled. “Self-deport to where? Brazil is not her home.’” www.bostonglobe.com/2025/11/26/m...
