  • Red state AG promises legal fight with ICE-resisting local governments

    Red state AG promises legal fight with ICE-resisting local governments

    Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita is threatening to sue two local jurisdictions in his state that are refusing to comply with President Donald Trump’s mass deportation program of illegal immigrants. 

    “Now that’s a problem in Indiana, particularly because there’s an Indiana state statute that I enforce that says what you have got to give, whatever level of cooperation is allowed by federal law, you shall give it as a state or local law enforcement official,” Rokita told Fox News Digital in an interview Friday. 

    “And, so, that’s what’s happening here. That defiance I need to look into now.”

    The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department (IMPD) and Indianapolis Public Schools (IPS) have indicated they would not cooperate with federal immigration enforcement, including Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids.

    IMPD Chief Chris Bailey said local police have no authority to enforce federal immigration law and have no plans to participate in immigration sweeps. Similarly, IPS officials announced the district would not allow ICE agents onto school grounds without a criminal warrant.

    “We still have pockets of either elected officials or those that work for elected officials, or some just on their own, that have their own ideas of what the law should be — that is to say not following the law,” Rokita said.

    Rokita urged IPS and IMPD this week to cooperate with ICE or face legal consequences from his office. And it wouldn’t be the first time he’s sued a jurisdiction in his state for not cooperating with federal officials.

    Rokita filed a lawsuit against the St. Joseph County Sheriff’s Department and its sheriff, William Redman, last month, alleging a persistent refusal to comply with federal immigration detainer requests. The lawsuit claims that, between March and September 2024, nine detainer requests from ICE were not honored, hindering ICE’s efforts to apprehend illegal immigrants in the county.

    Indiana University and the local sheriff’s office have refused to cooperate with federal immigration laws, Rokita said, “so we’re going to be in court, and I’m planning to get an injunction against their bad behavior.”

    President Donald Trump’s ICE raids continue across the country, and the agency detained 700 illegal immigrants last weekend, 500 of whom had prior convictions or charges, according to a senior official from the Trump administration who previously shared the details with Fox News Digital.

    Fox News Digital has reached out to IPS and IMPD for comment.

    These places led the US ultra-luxury market last year, according to Compass

    2024 was a good year for the ultra-luxury real estate market, with a handful of areas standing out as the leading markets in that category, according to a report from Compass.

    Compass found America’s ultra-luxury market notched over 1,700 sales of homes of at least $10 million over the course of last year, marking a 350% jump from 2023. Those sales, the real estate firm said, were worth a combined $31.39 billion. 

    Of that staggering figure, nearly $23.2 billion came from ten places in four states that dominated the ultra-luxury market by sales volume, according to the report. 

    HOMEOWNERSHIP REMAINS A BIG PART OF THE AMERICAN DREAM

    New York, California, Florida and Colorado all had representation among 2024’s top ultra-luxury markets in the U.S, the Compass report showed.

  • American-Israeli hostage Sagui Dekel-Chen embraces wife after nearly 500 days

    American-Israeli hostage Sagui Dekel-Chen embraces wife after nearly 500 days

    American-Israeli hostage Sagui Dekel-Chen embraced his wife after being apart from her for nearly 500 days in heartwarming photos and video taken Saturday following his release by Hamas. 

    The scenes captured at a reception point in Israel show the 36-year-old hugging and kissing Avital Dekel-Chen, who gave birth to their third daughter two months after he was seized by the Palestinian terrorist group during their Oct. 7, 2023, attack on the country. Dekel-Chen’s parents are also seen welcoming him home. 

    “Our hearts ache for everything he missed, but now he’s here, unlike many others,” his family said in a statement to the Associated Press. 

    As with previous exchanges, Saturday’s hostage release was heavily choreographed, with the captives made to walk onto a stage and speak into microphones before a crowd in Khan Younis in the Gaza Strip. Dozens of masked, armed Hamas fighters lined up near the stage, which was decorated with Palestinian flags and banners of militant factions. 

    HAMAS FREES 3 MORE HOSTAGES IN EXCHANGE FOR MORE THAN 300 PRISONERS AS PART OF CEASEFIRE DEAL WITH ISRAEL

    Chen appeared to be limping as he descended the stage during the hostage release, the AP reported. 

    The other hostages released were Alexander (Sasha) Troufanov, 29, and Iair Horn, 46. Troufanov has Israeli and Russian citizenship, while Horn is a dual citizen of Israel and Argentina. 

    The three were abducted by Hamas from Kibbutz Nir Oz in the terror group’s Oct. 7, 2023, attack against Israel that sparked the war in Gaza.

    In return for the hostages’ release, Israel began releasing 369 Palestinian prisoners and detainees, including 36 serving life sentences for deadly attacks. A bus carrying the first released prisoners arrived in the West Bank town of Beitunia and was greeted by a cheering crowd of relatives and supporters.  

    Some appeared gaunt, and the Palestinian Red Crescent emergency service said four were immediately taken for medical treatment.

    It is the sixth swap since the ceasefire took effect on Jan. 19. Before Saturday, 21 hostages and over 730 Palestinian prisoners were freed during the first phase of the truce.

  • Pope Francis will remain in hospital, Vatican says

    Pope Francis will remain in hospital, Vatican says

    Pope Francis will remain hospitalized and will continue treatment for a respiratory infection, according to a Reuters report citing a Vatican spokesperson. 

    Diagnostic tests apparently indicated that Pope Francis had a respiratory tract infection, the outlet added.

    Vatican News reported that the 88-year-old pontiff had a “restful night” at Rome’s Agostino Gemelli Hospital. While the pope was experiencing a “slight fever” on Friday, it had broken by Saturday, according to Vatican News.

    BIDEN AWARDS POPE FRANCIS WITH HIGHEST CIVILIAN HONOR, PRESIDENTIAL MEDAL OF FREEDOM, OVER THE PHONE

    The pope was admitted to Rome’s largest hospital after reportedly grappling with a bout of bronchitis for about a week, the Vatican confirmed to Fox News.

    CNN CEO Mark Thompson met with Pope Francis shortly before his hospitalization. According to CNN’s report, the pope was “mentally alert but struggling to speak for extended periods due to breathing difficulties.”

    POPE FRANCIS KICKS OFF HOLY YEAR AT VATICAN WITH OVER 32 MILLION VISITORS EXPECTED

    The pope is no stranger to health struggles. At the age of 21, he had part of his lung removed after developing pleurisy, which is an inflammation of the membranes that cushion the lungs.

    Pope Francis has struggled with multiple health battles over the last few years, including surgeries in 2021 and 2023, as well as longstanding knee issues, which have resulted in his using a wheelchair.

    POPE FRANCIS INJURED AS VATICAN CONFIRMS 2ND FALL IN MATTER OF WEEKS

    In his autobiography, the pope chalked up his health issues to his age, saying “the Church is governed using the head and the heart, not the legs.”

    The pope also suffered from two recent falls, one in December and another in January. After the second fall, which occurred at his residence, Pope Francis’ arm was put in a sling to immobilize it. The Vatican said at the time that this was done as “a precautionary measure.”

  • Kardashian family’s LA home on the market for .5 million

    Kardashian family’s LA home on the market for $13.5 million

    Kris Jenner is ready to part with her famous home.

    The Kardashian family matriarch has placed her six-bedroom, eight-bathroom Hidden Hills mansion on the market for $13.5 million in partnership with Tomer Fridman, a longtime real estate agent and a broker with Christie’s International Real Estate Southern California, as well as a close friend of Jenner’s.

    Fans of the family will recognize the iconic house from the many episodes of “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” that were filmed inside the home throughout its 20-season run on the E! Network.

    “This home was an integral part of the show. But it isn’t just a house that was on TV. It’s a home where a family lived their lives, with good times, bad times, kids growing up, and all kinds of evolution,” Fridman told the New York Times.

    KRIS JENNER EXPLAINS HER FEELINGS ON THE KARDASHIAN-JENNERS HAVING KIDS OUTSIDE OF MARRIAGE

    The 8,860-square-foot home sits on more than 1.5 acres and is surrounded by tall trees and other greenery. 

    According to the New York Times, Jenner bought the home in 2010 with her then-husband, Caitlyn Jenner, when their daughters, Kendall and Kylie Jenner, were teenagers. 

    While many members of the Kardashian-Jenner family have gone back to live in the home at different times, the house has reportedly been empty for years. Now, after a complete redesign with the help of celebrity designer Ryan Saghian, Saghian says the home is “ready for its next chapter.”

    “I’ve shared so many unforgettable memories in this incredible home with my family, and I’m excited to see it start a new chapter with its next owners,” Jenner told the New York Times.

    Following a circular stone driveway lined with tall palm trees and other tropical plants, is a small fountain and the walkway leading to the front door. A circular portico covered in vines encompasses the black French doors leading into the house.

    Once inside, guests are greeted by the grand double-level foyer, which features black and white tiled flooring, with a massive double staircase leading to the upper level, in the center of the room. The room also boasts a large light fixture and black iron railings on the staircase.

    Through the foyer and past the double staircase is the formal dining room. The room features high ceilings with floor-to-ceiling windows on two out of the three surrounding walls, as well as two sets of French doors, which lead to the backyard.

    The dining room boasts floor to ceiling windows and a enough space for a table fit for 10 guests.

  • Planned Parenthood appears to scrub Instagram as fears of DOGE cuts loom

    Planned Parenthood appears to scrub Instagram as fears of DOGE cuts loom

    Planned Parenthood caught the internet’s attention on Thursday after all of its Instagram posts were deleted within hours of Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary RFK Jr.’s swearing in. 

    The organization, in an apparent nod to this move, posted a pair of eyes on a black background on its Instagram story with no explanation.

    On Friday, Planned Parenthood posted another story, an animated gif with the words “I bet you thought you’d seen the last of me,” and later there were just three posts on its Instagram page, all about condom use.

    As speculation swirled about the mysterious disappearance of the posts, many pro-life advocates started to call for the defunding of Planned Parenthood. This also comes just days after a conservative watchdog nonprofit founded by former President Mike Pence, urged the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to cut federal spending on Planned Parenthood.

    “For the sake of the American people and generations yet unborn, the time has come for the United States to finally defund the largest abortion provider in America,” Tim Chapman, president of Advancing American Freedom, wrote in a letter to Elon Musk.

    Planned Parenthood health centers received nearly $22 billion in HHS grants and $53 billion from public health programs from 2019 to 2021, according to a report by the Government Accountability Office.

    RFK JR TELLS LAWMAKERS THAT ‘EVERY ABORTION IS A TRAGEDY’ AT CONFIRMATION HEARING

    During his confirmation hearing, Kennedy said that he believes “every abortion is a tragedy,” and expressed support for President Donald Trump’s assertion that states should handle the issue.

    “I agree with President Trump that every abortion is a tragedy,” Kennedy said. “I agree with him that we cannot be a moral nation if we have 1.2 million abortions a year. I agree with him that the states should control abortion. President Trump has told me that he wants to end late-term abortions, and he wants to protect conscience exemptions.”  

    Kennedy, who has expressed support for abortion in the past, vowed to implement Trump’s policies.

    With Kennedy at the helm of HHS and Elon Musk at DOGE, pro-choice advocates fear that Planned Parenthood will be on the chopping block.

    On Feb. 3, Planned Parenthood Federation of America put out a statement warning that “defunding” the organization could put patients at risk of losing access to “sexual and reproductive care.”

    Giants great Lawrence Taylor reveals what kept him from quitting football before Hall of Fame career began

    Lawrence Taylor, one of the top defensive players in NFL history, almost quit football in high school.

    Taylor, 66, talked about nearly quitting football during an appearance on OutKick’s “Maintaining with Tyrus.”

    “I thought it was too much. Like I said, when I went out for football in my junior year, I wanted to quit. And … my dad looked at me, ‘You’re not going to quit,’” Taylor recalled. 

    “And then once I started to get it a little bit, he told me, ‘Hey, you got to be better than the next man just to be equals.’ So, listen, I’m going after who’s ever in front of me, that’s who I have to deal with.”

    The Pro Football Hall of Famer did a good job in his 13-year career of dealing with the person in front of him. Taylor spent his entire career with the New York Giants, winning two Super Bowls.

    Taylor won the NFL MVP in 1986, becoming one of only two defensive players in NFL history to win the MVP.

    In that 1986 season, Taylor had 20½ sacks. For Taylor, his goal was simple — find the football. 

    “I think a lot of coaches, or my coaches anyway, allowed me to play the game the way I saw it. (People say) you got to get here, you got to go there. Well, no. I got to go outside here, but I’m trying to get to here. So, why can’t I just go there? I go to the football wherever it is. I go to the football,” Taylor said.

  • Egg farmers facing the ‘worst bird flu outbreak’ in ‘history,’ industry leader fears

    Egg farmers facing the ‘worst bird flu outbreak’ in ‘history,’ industry leader fears

    American farmers and those in the agricultural business continue to reel over the spread of H5N1 bird flu, which apparently shows no sign of slowing to “disaster” status.

    “The real crisis is that we’re going through the worst bird flu outbreak that we’ve had in the last 10 years since 2015, potentially the worst bird flu outbreak that we’ve ever had in the history of this country,” Eggs Unlimited Vice President Brian Moscogiuri said on “Fox & Friends” Thursday.

    “We’ve lost 120 million birds since the beginning of 2022. In the last few months alone, since the middle of October, we’ve lost 45 million egg-laying hens,” he added. “We’ve lost a significant amount of production, more than 13%. So we’re just dealing with supply shortages. And it’s just a disaster right now because this virus is in three of the top egg-laying states in the country. It doesn’t seem like it’s stopping anytime soon.”

    According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), bird flu detections have been made in dairy cattle, wild birds, poultry flocks and other mammals, while 68 human cases have been confirmed as well as one death.

    EGG PRICES AREN’T COMING DOWN ANYTIME SOON, EXPERTS SAY

    Companies recently started imposing limits on egg sales as the shortage caused by outbreaks persists, causing a frenzy among shoppers. Droves of viral videos have surfaced in recent weeks, showing shoppers stockpiling eggs. One video posted on TikTok claimed that an entire section of eggs at a Costco was gone in less than 10 minutes.

    Other grocery and restaurant chains like Trader Joe’s, Korger, Whole Foods and Waffle House have been limiting customer purchases or adding egg surcharges as the nationwide supply dwindles.

    “We’re just trying to figure out, and the farmers are trying to figure out, how the virus is getting in… there’s several different catalysts, including wild migratory birds that have been flying over the country in the fall, in the spring each year… And we’re also wondering, is it in the ground? Is it in the air on these farms? Some of these farms that have been able to clean out and are working on repopulating have actually been hit again,” Moscogiuri said.

    “The farms really need help in identifying where the virus is coming in from, and then,” he expanded, “solutions to stopping the virus so that they can repopulate, resupply and ultimately help to bring the egg prices back down.”

    Since January, average egg prices have risen 15% and are up 53% year-over-year, data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture and Bureau of Labor Statistics shows.

    Eggs Unlimited is one of the largest international suppliers of eggs, servicing major retailers, distributors and food service companies while also serving as a sort of egg “broker,” according to Moscogiuri. 

    Business is understandably “difficult” right now, he said. 

    “There’s less eggs available. Right now, we’re really focused on making sure that our customers are getting the orders and their supply, and making sure that they have eggs on their shelves. For consumers, [we’re] trying to limit their impact with the pricing and the supply chain shortages that we’re currently seeing right now.”
