An Immigration and Customs Enforcement attorney detailed to Minnesota to help handle the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown in the Twin Cities has been removed from her post after telling a judge that the job “sucks” because of the crushing workload and the government’s apparent inability to comply with court orders.

The attorney, Julie Le, was sent back to her job at ICE, according to a source familiar with the matter.

In an extraordinarily candid exchange with a federal judge on Tuesday, Le, who had been asked to explain why the administration was not promptly complying with a slew of court orders stemming from immigration cases she’s handling, admitted that the government did not have enough lawyers on the ground to adequately keep up with Operation Metro Surge and that trying to get errors fixed is like “pulling teeth.”

“They are overwhelmed and they need help, so I, I have to say, stupidly (volunteered),” she told US District Judge Jerry Blackwell, who is threatening to hold her and another lawyer in contempt for repeated violations of orders he’s issued in immigration cases.

“Sometime I wish you would just hold me in contempt, your honor, so that I can have a full 24 hours of sleep. I work days and night just because people (are) still in there,” Le said.

“And, yes, procedure in place right now sucks. I’m trying to fix it,” she continued. “I am here with you, your honor. What do you want me to do? The system sucks. This job sucks. And I am trying every breath that I have so that I can get you what you need.”

Le and the other administration lawyers working on immigration cases in Minnesota since the crackdown began have been facing intense scrutiny from the judges there over a slew of missteps in the cases. Last week, the chief judge of the state’s federal trial-level court said ICE “has likely violated more court orders in January 2026 than some federal agencies have violated in their entire existence” and specifically called out nearly 100 court orders he said had been violated in recent weeks.

Among those orders are ones requiring the government to immediately release immigrant detainees whom judges determined were being held unlawfully in Minnesota or Texas, where many of them were flown after being arrested in the Twin Cities. Judges, including Blackwell, were also frustrated by release conditions ICE had imposed on some immigrants since the court had not specifically allowed the agency to fashion such conditions.

“It takes 10 e-mails to get a release condition to be corrected,” Le told Blackwell on Tuesday. “It take two escalation and a threat that I will walk out for that to be corrected.”

Though Blackwell said he thought Le and Justice Department attorney Ana Voss, who is also facing a contempt threat, were “working in good faith and under difficult circumstances,” he warned them that “a court order is not advisory and it is not conditional.”

“It is not something that any agency can treat as optional while it decides how or whether to comply with the court order,” the judge said.

“Having what you feel are too many detainees, too many cases, too many deadlines, and not enough infrastructure to keep up with it all, is not a defense to continued detention. If anything, it ought to be a warning sign,” Blackwell added.

Shutdown averted for now, but Senate warns DHS fight could trigger another in days

By Alex Miller | Fox News
Published February 4, 2026 10:30am EST

As the House crushed Republican resistance to a Trump-backed funding package to end the latest partial government shutdown, lawmakers in the upper chamber weren’t confident that Congress could avoid being in the same position in the coming weeks.

President Donald Trump and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., brokered the deal to end the shutdown last week. That funding truce included a move to sideline the controversial Department of Homeland Security (DHS) funding bill in favor of a short-term extension to keep the agency open.

The House’s passage of the package, which funds 11 out of 12 government agencies under Congress’ purview, sets the stage for tense negotiations between the White House and Senate Democrats over reforms to DHS.

But several Senate Republicans are questioning whether two weeks, which had shrunk to just nine days as of Wednesday, would be enough time to avert another partial shutdown — this time only for DHS.

“I think it’s gonna be very difficult to get the [funding bill done for DHS] in two weeks,” Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., told Fox News Digital.

Scott was one of a handful of Republicans in the upper chamber that rejected the compromise plan and the underlying original package because of bloated spending on earmarks and concerns that Senate Democrats would effectively try to kneecap Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations across the country.

“We’re going to be in a worse spot,” Scott said. “I mean… all their earmarks got done, and then now they’re going to want to, you know, they want to [get] busy de-fanging and defunding ICE.”

Congressional Democrats wanted to relitigate the bipartisan DHS bill after the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti during an immigration enforcement operation in Minneapolis. The demand forced Trump to intervene and thrust the government into a partial shutdown on Friday.

While the [funding deal] made it across his desk, it won’t get Congress out of the jam it’s in, given the short amount of time lawmakers have to negotiate the bill, which is consistently the most difficult spending bill to pass year in and year out.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., noted that once negotiations began, Congress had a “very short timeframe in which to do this, which I am against.”

“But the Democrats insisted on, you know, a two-week window, which, again, I don’t understand the rationale for that,” Thune said. “Anybody who knows this place knows that’s an impossibility.”

Some Senate Democrats did not want to weigh in on a hypothetical scenario just days away, but Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Ariz., contended that because of the events in Minnesota, “there should be some motivation across the aisle to do something on, you know, all these issues.”

“I mean, I think [DHS Secretary] [Kristi Noem] should be fired, leadership needs to be changed at ICE, their budget needs to be the right size,” Kelly said. “We got to get them looking like normal police officers.”

Senate Appropriations Chair Susan Collins, R-Maine, struck a more positive tone.

She told Fox News Digital that Congress would be in a much better position, considering that lawmakers will have passed 11 out of the 12 bills needed to fund the federal government.

“We’ll now start the negotiations on DHS, and I hope we’ll be successful, but I don’t see how you can compare where we are today,” Collins said.

Thune believed that Noem’s announcement that ICE agents in Minneapolis would begin wearing body-worn cameras could act as a sweetener for Democrats. There is already $20 million baked into the current bipartisan DHS funding bill for body cameras.

Schumer rejected that olive branch from Noem, arguing that it didn’t come nearly close enough to the portfolio of reforms Democrats wanted for the agency. And he reaffirmed that Senate Democrats wanted actual legislative action on DHS reforms, not an executive order.

“We know how whimsical Donald Trump is,” Schumer said. “He’ll say one thing one day and retract it the next. Same with Secretary Noem.”

“So, we don’t trust some executive order, some pronouncement from some Cabinet secretary. We need it enshrined into law.”

When asked if lawmakers would need to turn to another short-term funding patch, Schumer argued that “if Leader Thune negotiates in good faith, we can get it done. We expect to present to the Republicans a very serious, detailed proposal very shortly.”

But Thune has said for several days that it would be the White House in the driver’s seat, and ultimately it would be Trump who could broker a new deal.

“But at some points, obviously it has to be the [White House engaged] in the conversation with the Senate Democrats, and that’s how that thing’s gonna land,” Thune said.

Arms control treaty limiting U.S., Russian nuclear weapons to expire, as leaders mull what’s next

February 4, 2026 / 1:39 PM EST / CBS News

The last remaining treaty between the U.S. and Russia that limits the number of deployable nuclear weapons expires Thursday, marking the end of decades of arms control agreements between the two countries with the largest nuclear arsenals in the world.

The New START Treaty, signed in 2010 by the U.S. and Russia, limited the number of deployed strategic nuclear weapons to 1,550 on each side and required on-site inspections and notifications to ensure both superpowers were complying with the agreement.

Russia stopped providing notifications and suspended inspections during the war in Ukraine but is estimated to not have significantly exceeded the required caps, according to the State Department’s latest report released last month.

Former President Joe Biden in 2021 extended the treaty for five years, but it cannot be extended further.

In January, President Trump told The New York Times “if it expires, it expires,” indicating he could let the treaty lapse. A White House official told CBS News the president will decide a path forward on nuclear arms control “which he will clarify on his own timeline,” and he has indicated he would like to keep limits on nuclear weapons and involve China in future arms control talks.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Wednesday that it’s “impossible” to come to an agreement without China “because of their vast and rapidly growing stockpile.”The Pentagon has estimated China will have over 1,000 nuclear weapons by 2035, up from around 200 in 2019.

The current treaty is a bilateral agreement between the U.S. and Russia, which have about 4,300 and 3,700 nuclear warheads respectively, according to the Federation of American Scientists.

Russian President Vladimir Putin in September suggested both sides should abide by the parameters of the treaty without signing another deal for a year, which former Under Secretary of State for Arms Control Rose Gottemoeller told senators was a viable option.

“It should be Donald Trump who gets to be the president of nuclear peace in this case, not Vladimir Putin,” Gotttemoeller testified Tuesday before the Senate Armed Services Committee. She argued that continuing to keep New START limits in place for another year would allow the U.S. “to reestablish strategic stability with Russia and control nuclear weapons at the negotiating table.”

Retired Adm. Charles Richard, the former head of U.S. Strategic Command, and Tim Morrison, a former deputy assistant to the president for national security affairs during the first Trump administration, disagreed, arguing that the treaty does not address several pressing concerns.

All three of the former officials agreed the treaty is not perfect, in part, because it does not account for China and it doesn’t constrain non-strategic nuclear weapons, like tactical nuclear weapons, but Goettmoeller told senators it’s better than nothing.

“My bottom line is that it does not serve U.S. national security interests to have to address the Chinese nuclear buildup while simultaneously facing a rapid Russian upload campaign,” Gottemoeller said.

Now that the treaty limiting the U.S. and Russia is expected to expire, each of the officials raised concerns about other countries exploring their own nuclear programs in the future even if they’re not actively pursuing it right now.

“I don’t think you can understate the risk of proliferation,” Morrison told senators.

Morrison said the U.S. stockpile is aging and emphasized that effective nuclear deterrence requires sustained investment.

“By 2035, 100% of U.S. nuclear weapons, the warheads and bombs themselves, will have exceeded their design lives by an average of 30 years,” Morrison said. “The only means to reliably enforce compliance with arms treaties is to be able to threaten that failure to comply will be met with a compelling response.”

And to deploy the weapons effectively, the U.S. needs to boost its defense industrial base, the former officials all agreed, especially when it comes to building Columbia-class submarines that will make up the sea-based part of the nuclear triad.

“I think the numbers are insufficient on all portions of the triad, particularly on the bomber and the ballistic missile submarine leg,” said Richard, the retired admiral formerly in charge of U.S. Strategic Command. “There are additional capabilities that we should consider in addition to the recapitalization of the triad and increasing the capacity inside the triad.”

挪威王储妃之子出庭作证 坦言生活奢靡否认强奸

挪威王储妃之子霍伊比（中）星期三（2月4日）出庭作证时落泪，承认自己因“渴望获得认可”而过着奢靡生活，但否认强奸指控。 （路透社）

挪威王储妃之子马里乌斯·博格·霍伊比星期三（2月4日）出庭作证时落泪，承认自己因“渴望获得认可”而过着奢靡生活，但否认强奸指控。

法新社报道，现年29岁的霍伊比（Marius Borg Hoiby）是王储妃梅特—玛丽特（Mette-Marit）与前夫所生之子。

霍伊比共面临38项指控，除四项强奸罪外，还包括殴打前女友及一项严重毒品犯罪，若罪名成立，最高可判16年监禁。他对于较严重指控均表示不认罪。

霍伊比首次向法庭陈述时情绪崩溃。

他在作证时便抨击媒体，称自3岁起母亲与王储的关系曝光使他成为公众焦点后，媒体便持续“骚扰”他。

他坦言：“我主要以母亲儿子的身份为人所知，其他的什么都不是。因此我一生都极度渴求认可。这种渴求最终演变为沉溺于新盖、毒品和酒精。”

案件调查始于2024年8月，当时霍伊比因涉嫌殴打女友被捕，并承认在酒精和毒品影响下行事。调查随后揭露多起涉嫌犯罪，包括在受害者熟睡或醉酒时实施强奸，其中部分发生在警方调查启动之后。

一名声称遭到伊比强奸的女子同天在庭上作证，讲述她2018年12月的一场派对上遭到对方强奸，并怀疑当时她被下药。

她说，两人曾有过一次短暂且双方同意的性接触，但她中途叫停了。

数年后，警方在他的手机中发现了一段视频和一些照片，显示霍伊比在她睡着时强奸她。对此她毫无记忆，并将那段时间形容为“一个巨大的黑洞”。

“我简直不敢相信。我不敢相信马里乌斯会对我做出那样的事。这是一种背叛，也是一个巨大的冲击。”

当被问及是否认为自己被下药时，她回答说：“我是这么认为的。百分之百。”

Supreme Court lets California use new congressional map in midterms, rejecting bid to block it

February 4, 2026 / 1:59 PM EST / CBS News

Washington — The Supreme Court on Wednesday declined to block California’s new congressional map that could net Democrats five seats in the upcoming midterm elections.

The decision from the high court clears the way for California to use for now the newly drawn lines for most of its 52 House districts in this year’s congressional elections. There were no noted dissents.

The map was crafted in response to a rare mid-decade redistricting by Texas Republicans last year, which aimed to help the GOP maintain its control of the lower chamber in Congress. California officials sought to draw a map that would see Democrats pick up five seats in the House, which would offset the five seats that were newly crafted in Texas to favor Republicans.

California voters backed a ballot measure known as Proposition 50 in November, which enacted the new lines for many of the state’s congressional districts through the end of the decade.

But shortly after voters approved the map, a group of California Republicans filed a lawsuit alleging that the voting boundaries are unconstitutional. The plaintiffs alleged that the state legislature relied predominantly on race in the mapmaking process and drew several House district lines to favor Latino voters, which violated the 14th and 15th Amendments.

The Trump administration joined the lawsuit and claimed the map was an unconstitutional racial gerrymander.

But a divided panel of three federal judges upheld the map, finding that California lawmakers were motivated by politics, not race, when they drew new congressional districts.

“We find that the evidence presented reflects that Proposition 50 was exactly what it was billed as: a political gerrymander designed to flip five Republican-held seats to the Democrats,” Judge Josephine Staton wrote for the two-judge majority. “In other words, the ‘impetus for the adoption’ of the Proposition 50 Map was ‘partisan advantage pure and simple.’”

California Republicans sought emergency relief from the Supreme Court last month and asked the justices to stop the state from using the new districts during the 2026 election cycle and instead require it to use congressional lines adopted in 2021 by an independent redistricting commission.

They asked the high court to issue a decision by Feb. 9, when congressional candidates can begin submitting paperwork to run.

“The public has a paramount interest in elections conducted under constitutionally valid district lines,” lawyers for California Republicans wrote in their request for relief. “The integrity of representative government is undermined when the State sorts voters by race in constructing the very units of representation.”

The Trump administration backed the GOP voters and urged the Supreme Court to block California from using the new map. Solicitor General D. John Sauer argued in a filing that race was used as a proxy for politics, and said California’s recent redistricting is “tainted by an unconstitutional racial gerrymander.”

“Of course, California’s motivation in adopting the Prop 50 map as a whole was undoubtedly to counteract Texas’s political gerrymander,” he wrote. “But that overarching political goal is not a license for district-level racial gerrymandering.”

In urging the Supreme Court to leave the new House district lines in place, California officials said Republicans only brought their suit challenging the state’s map — while also defending Texas’ new voting boundaries — to ensure Republicans hold onto the House.

“That is a natural political objective, just as it was natural for Governor Newsom and California Democrats to want to counteract Republicans’ strategy,” they wrote in a filing. “But what is deeply unnatural — indeed, contrary to fundamental principles of democracy and judicial impartiality — is plaintiffs’ request for this Court to step into the political fray, granting one political party a sizeable advantage by enjoining California’s partisan gerrymander after having allowed Texas’s to take effect.”

Lawyers for the League of United Latin American Citizens, which is backing the new lines, argued that California’s map was approved by more than 7 million voters and said there is “overwhelming evidence” that the House district lines were redrawn for partisan purposes.

“It would be extremely disruptive to election officials, voters, and political parties, in addition to candidates, to change California’s entire redistricting map now, during an active primary campaign,” they wrote in a filing urging the Supreme Court to leave the new voting lines in place.

Texas Republicans moved to draw new House district lines last summer after President Trump and White House aides pushed them to create a new map that would help Republicans hold onto their majority in the House. But the decision by Texas GOP lawmakers set off a race for other states to redraw their own congressional maps for the 2026 election cycle.

Democrats in California went to work crafting new voting lines that would counter the new GOP-favored seats in Texas, and redistricting efforts spearheaded by Democrats are underway in Maryland and Virginia. A state judge in Virginia, however, ruled a proposed constitutional amendment allowing Democrats to redraw its congressional map was illegal. On the other side of the aisle, Republicans in North Carolina and Missouri approved plans that each sought to shift a single Democrat-held seat to the right.

A divided three-judge panel in Texas blocked the state from using its redrawn House districts for the midterm elections and found the map was racially gerrymandered. But state Republicans asked the Supreme Court to intervene, and the high court restored Texas’ new congressional voting lines in December.

In a concurring opinion, Justice Samuel Alito indicated that he believed politics was the predominant factor driving state lawmakers in Texas and California in the redistricting process. Joined by Justices Clarence Thomas and Neil Gorsuch, Alito wrote “it is indisputable” that the “impetus for the adoption of the Texas map (like the map subsequently adopted in California) was partisan advantage pure and simple.”

美官员称将立即从明尼苏达州撤离700名执法人员 | 联合早报

美国政府边境事务主管霍曼星期三（2月4日）宣布，将立即从明尼苏达州撤离700名联邦执法人员。 （法新社）

美国政府边境事务主管霍曼星期三（2月4日）宣布，将立即从明尼苏达州撤离700名联邦执法人员。

法新社报道，霍曼指这项决定将“立即”生效，称此举是基于与地方当局加强合作的结果，但未说明这些警员将撤离明尼阿波利斯市，还是从其他地区撤离。

霍曼解释称，如今“更多警员直接从监狱接收被羁押的外国犯人”，而非在街头拘捕，而这大幅减少所需的人力。

但他说，缩编后明尼苏达州仍将保留约2000名警员，远高于大规模移民执法行动前约150人的规模。

霍曼强调，自己不会离开明尼阿波利斯，“直到我们完成所有任务”。

在特朗普政府升级移民执法、联邦人员大规模进驻明尼苏达州期间，明尼阿波利斯居民普雷蒂于1月24日被执法人员枪杀，成为该行动中第二名丧生的当地居民，事件迅速引发当地紧张局势升级以及全美多州抗议。

韩国高龄者雇佣率首破70% 延长退休年龄成政策焦点

2026年2月4日 20:35 / 联合早报

在中壮年重新活跃于劳动市场的趋势下，韩国55至64岁高龄者的雇佣率于2025年首次突破70%，引发各界对延长退休年龄与再雇用制度的广泛讨论。

据韩国雇佣劳动部星期三（2月4日）发布的《高龄者雇佣动向》数据显示，2025年，55至64岁高龄者雇佣率达70.5%，较2024年的69.9%提高0.6个百分点，创1983年有统计以来新高。

自2007年起，高龄者就业率维持在60%左右，2013年后逐步上升，2022年进入60%后段区间，呈持续增长趋势。这意味着超过七成的高龄人口仍活跃于职场，反映其对经济收入的高度依赖。

此外，高龄者的经济活动参与率（包括就业者与求职者）亦达72.0%，同比上升0.4个百分点，同期失业率则由2.4%降至2.1%，呈现稳定下降趋势。

延迟退休成社会关注课题

国家统计资料也显示，高龄者（55至64岁）在职人口中，占比达18.4%，在15岁以上人口中则为五分之一。目前逐步进入60岁的群体多为1964至1974年出生的“第二次婴儿潮”一代，约有954万人，占全国人口的18.6%。该世代的大量退休，使得韩国面临严重的劳动力结构压力。

随着高龄人口不断增加，延迟退休成为社会关注课题。

劳动界主张，应依据国民年金的领取年龄，将退休年龄延至65岁，企业界则更倾向于推行“退休后再雇用”等灵活模式，同时指出在现有“定岗年薪制”下，如延长退休年龄，还需配合薪资体系的改革。

此外，一些人担忧，大规模延迟退休可能抑制青年就业，诱发代际矛盾。

高龄就业趋势 折射出严重老年贫困问题

值得注意的是，韩国高龄就业趋势背后，也折射出严重的老年贫困问题。

据统计，2023年韩国66岁以上人口的收入贫困率为39.7%，在经济合作与发展组织（OECD）成员国中排名第一。2024年，相对贫困率在66至75岁为26.6%，76岁以上更飙升至53.8%。贫困程度随年龄递增，尤其在农村地区更加明显，农渔村老年人口贫困率比城市高出1.37倍。

专家呼吁，政府加快改革养老金制度，扩大对高龄群体的社会保障，尤其应强化农村与弱势群体的福利支援，并创造更多适合老年人的灵活就业岗位，以应对持续扩大的老年贫困与劳动力结构变动。
