President Donald Trump is expected to sign an
executive order directing federal officials to
create a list of sanctuary cities and states
that do not comply with immigration enforcement.
This list may include Boston, frequently criticized
by Republican officials for its noncompliance
with federal immigration operations. The order
would allow the U .S. Attorney General and the
Secretary of Homeland Security one month to identify
noncompliant jurisdictions. which could face
funding cuts and legal action. Boston's Mayor
Michelle Wu emphasized that the city's policies
prioritize safety and will remain unchanged despite
federal pressures. Now on to sports. Shadir Sanders
learned a crucial lesson in humility during his
NFL draft experience. Despite being hailed as
a top prospect, the former Colorado quarterback
endured a frustrating wait of over two days and
143 selections before the Cleveland Browns finally
called his name. While many analysts viewed him
as a first -round pick, NFL executives had concerns
about his interviews and perceived arrogance.
This situation highlights the stark contrast
between media hype and the realities faced by
talent evaluators. Now Sanders has the opportunity
to prove himself, aiming to fulfill his legendary
aspirations in the league. In local sports. Tonight,

the United States has surged to levels not seen
in nearly half a century. A report by the Anti
-Defamation League indicates an average of 25
incidents per day, the highest since 1979. Despite
Jews making up about 2 % of the population, they
are targeted in more than two -thirds of religious
hate crimes. Rowdy Sharon Brow sporns, Antisemitism
is always the canary in the coal mine for the
evisceration of the rights and dignity of all
people. Incidents related to Israel and Zionism
have sharply increased, highlighting a troubling
trend. Experts emphasize the need for education
and community building, rather than government
intervention, to combat this alarming situation.
In business news, last night, CPC News projected
that the Liberal Party will form the next Canadian
government, granting Mark Carney a full term
as Prime Minister. This comes amid ongoing trade
tensions with the United States. While it remains
uncertain if the Liberal Party will secure a
majority, they have currently obtained 160 seats
in the House of Commons. Carney, a former Goldman
Sachs banker, successfully defeated his rivals,
including Pierre Poilever of the Conservative
Party. The election was heavily influenced by
President Donald Trump's tariffs, prompting a
bi -Canadian movement and a shift back to the
Liberal Party. In crypto movement, Bitcoin is

breakthrough in understanding hailstorm formation,
a mystery that has puzzled meteorologists for
years. A study from the Chinese Academy of Sciences
analyzed 27 hailstones from nine storms in China.
revealing that hail primarily forms by descending
steadily or through a single upward push, rather
than the traditional recycling process. Lead
author King Hongzhang emphasized, This work fundamentally
changes how we understand hail formation. The
findings could enhance weather forecasting and
improve estimates of hailstorm dangers, though
funding cuts to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration may hinder these efforts. And
in entertainment news. In The Surfer, Nicolas
Cage delivers a performance that is undeniably
unhinged. His character, struggling through life's
challenges, attempts to reclaim his childhood
home near a picturesque Australian surfing spot.
However, a tough group of locals, reminiscent
of a motorcycle gang, led by Julian McMahon,
repeatedly warns him, don't live here, don't
surf here. The film follows Cage's character
as he battles desperation and chaos, showcasing
his unique ability to portray madness. Drawing
inspiration from real -life surfer gangs, The
Surfer feels like a nostalgic exploitation film.
highlighting Cage's unparalleled talent in cinema.
Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote
of the day. And today, our quote comes from the
