Israel-Hamas Ceasefire Moves Into Next Phase As Final Hostage Recovered

Israel says the remains of the final hostage in Gaza have been recovered, clearing the way for the next phase of the ceasefire that stopped the Israel-Hamas war. Monday’s announcement came a day after Israel’s government said the military was conducting a “large-scale operation” in a cemetery in northern Gaza to locate the remains of Ran Gvili. The return of all remaining hostages, living or dead, has been a key part of the Gaza ceasefire’s first phase. Gvili’s family had urged Israel’s government not to enter the second phase until his remains were recovered and returned. Hamas says it now has committed to all terms of the ceasefire's first phase.

At least 18 deaths reported from colossal winter storm

The Northeastern U.S. is getting the last brunt of a massive winter storm that dumped snow, sleet and ice across much of the southern and eastern U.S. over the weekend. The colossal storm halted air and road traffic in many areas and sent temperatures plunging. At least 18 weather-related deaths have been reported. As the work week began, the heaviest snow fell from New York northward into New England. That's after heavy ice snapped branches and power lines in the South, leaving hundreds of thousands of homes and businesses without electricity. In the meantime, arctic air was spreading in behind the storm and some communities in New York saw record-breaking subzero temperatures.

Trump & MN Gov. Walz On 'Similar Wavelength' After Call

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz’ office says call with President Trump was ‘productive.' A Monday morning call between President Donald Trump and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz about fatal shootings by immigration officers appears to have been well-received by both sides. “The Governor made the case that we need impartial investigations of the Minneapolis shootings involving federal agents, and that we need to reduce the number of federal agents in Minnesota,” Walz's office wrote in a release. Renee Good and Alex Pretti, both Minnesota residents and U.S. citizens, were fatally shot and killed by federal immigration officers in separate incidents in Minneapolis. Trump agreed to talk to the Department of Homeland Security about ensuring the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension is able to conduct an independent investigation, Walz’ office said, and also agreed to look into either reducing the number of federal agents in Minnesota or working with the state “in a more coordinated fashion on immigration enforcement regarding violent criminals.” Trump wrote in a social media post earlier Monday that the two “actually” seem to be on the same page in wanting to work together on immigration issues in Minnesota. He said the people the administration is seeking “are any and all Criminals that they have in their possession” and Walz “very respectfully, understood that.”

FAA: 7 Dead, 1 Survives Jet Crash In Bangor, Maine

The Federal Aviation Administration says seven people were killed and a crew member survived with serious injuries when a private business jet crashed in a snowstorm at Maine’s Bangor International Airport. The Bombardier Challenger 600 carrying eight people crashed on takeoff Sunday night as New England and much of the country grappled with a massive winter storm. The airport, about 200 miles north of Boston, shut down after the crash. Snowfall was heavy in many parts of the country at the time, and accumulation was beginning in Bangor. The jet was registered to a corporation that shares the same address as a law firm in Houston, Texas.

Winter Storm Sparks Massive Flight Cancellations

A massive winter storm is wreaking havoc on travel across the United States. Airlines canceled more than 11,400 flights on Sunday as snow, sleet, and ice swept from the Rockies to New England. Aviation analysts say this is the worst single day of cancellations since the pandemic, grounding nearly 30 percent of U.S. departures. Major airports in New York, Philadelphia, and Washington, D.C. were hit hardest, and travelers should expect delays to continue for several days as crews work to recover.

Iran Warns U.S. As Naval Forces Move Into Region

Iran has issued a stark warning to the United States, unveiling a mural in central Tehran depicting a damaged U.S. aircraft carrier and signaling serious consequences if the U.S. launches a military strike. The mural’s unveiling comes as the USS Abraham Lincoln and accompanying warships are deployed to the region. President Donald Trump says the fleet’s movement is a precautionary measure, as tensions between the two nations continue to escalate.

At least 18 weather-related deaths have been reported as snow, sleet, and ice swept from the South up through the Northeast, grounding flights, knocking out power and creating treacherous conditions on roads.

Trump admin defends immigration enforcement after deadly Minneapolis incident

The Trump administration is standing by its immigration enforcement operations in Minneapolis following a deadly weekend confrontation between federal agents and a U.S. citizen. U.S. Border Patrol Commander-at-Large Greg Bovino said Sunday that the administration’s “immigration mission” will continue, despite the fatal shooting of 37-year-old Alex Pretti during an altercation with agents. Federal officials say Pretti assaulted officers, forcing them to respond in self-defense. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said Pretti approached agents with a handgun and reacted violently when officers attempted to disarm him, describing the encounter as a serious threat to agent safety. President Donald Trump has defended the Minnesota operations as necessary to enforce immigration laws and reduce crime, emphasizing the need to protect federal officers carrying out their duties. The incident has drawn criticism from local officials and sparked protests in Minneapolis, while bystander video circulating online has raised questions about the sequence of events. State and local authorities have since filed legal challenges, and a federal judge has ordered evidence related to the shooting preserved ahead of a hearing scheduled for Monday. The shooting marks the second fatal encounter involving a federal agent this month, further intensifying debate over immigration enforcement and public safety.
