Media Miss by the right: Trump warns of Canada’s Arctic vulnerability
As Trump continues his controversial push for the U.S. to take control of Greenland for national security purposes, he’s also raising concerns about Canada’s Arctic vulnerability.
U.S. officials are reportedly in talks with Ottawa to coordinate northern border defense and limit Russia and China’s ability to expand their presence in the Arctic.
It’s the same national security argument Trump has used to justify his push to acquire Greenland.
Media Miss by the left: Newsom walks back ICE ‘state-sponsored terrorism’ label
California’s Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom appeared to walk back comments made by his press office that described Immigration and Customs Enforcement as “state-sponsored terrorism.”
Speaking with conservative commentator Ben Shapiro on his podcast “This is Gavin Newsom,” Newsom said California works closely with ICE, particularly in the state prison system.
“We work very directly with ICE as it relates to CDC state prison. California has cooperated with more ICE transfers probably than any other state in the country,” Newsom said during the Jan. 15 interview.
Newsom also informed Shapiro that he disagrees with the idea of abolishing ICE entirely, marking a notable change from the language used by his press team just days before.
