Mayor Adams is scheduled for a high-stakes meeting with President-elect Trump’s new border czar Tom Homan Thursday amid growing fear among immigrants and advocates over the incoming president and his threats to carry out mass deportations. The Trump administration’s immigration policies could have far-reaching effects in New York, and advocacy organizations are planning to rally outside City Hall Thursday in protest of the meeting. And Wednesday, the Legal Aid Society, Coalition for the Homeless and 20 other advocacy groups sent a letter to Adams calling on him to protect undocumented immigrants from deportations. “[It] is imperative that the City take immediate measures to protect both immigrants who have long resided in our community as well as the newest New Yorkers from the draconian and harmful actions being threatened by the incoming presidential administration in the new year,” reads the letter. Homan is charged with carrying out some of Trump’s major tough-on-immigration campaign promises , including increasing deportations and slowing the flow of new immigrants to the U.S. Adams, who upset members of his own party with sharp criticism of President Biden’s approach at the southern border, has said he’s open to discussing new approaches with the incoming administration, although he has said he opposes mass deportations . The mayor said Monday he wants to have a “host of conversations” with the incoming border czar and wants to share strategies on how to secure the border and create a “real decompression strategy.” “I’m interested to hear his ideas on how we’re going to go about that,” Adams said of the upcoming meeting. “And I’m excited about the conversation.” A spokesperson for the mayor declined to share details. Homan was initially slated to speak with both the mayor and conservative members of the City Council, but called off the meeting with the council members due to scheduling reasons, a source said. The meeting comes as the mayor of late has revived a debate over changing New York’s sanctuary city laws , which limit local authorities’ cooperation with federal immigration authorities. The city’s current laws only allow city authorities to turn undocumented immigrants over to ICE if they’ve been convicted of a serious crime. Adams has said he’s open to changing the laws so that those deported may include those accused, not just convicted, of crimes. The mayor faced fierce backlash last week after he said that people who entered the country illegally aren’t entitled to the same rights as citizens. “I’m an American,” Adams said, in comments he later walked back in an interview with WNYC . “Americans have certain rights. The Constitution is for Americans, and I’m not a person that snuck into this country.” The advocates rallying Thursday said they planned to denounce Adams’ decision to meet with Homan and to call on the mayor to uphold existing sanctuary city laws. Homan, who has been outspoken about taking a tough approach even in cities protected by sanctuary laws, likewise said he was looking forward to meeting with Adams: “I’m looking for partnerships. I’m not looking for enemies.” Homan took a different tone recently when talking about Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker. At an event earlier this week in the Windy City, Homan declared Chicago would be his first target for mass deportations. “Chicago’s in trouble because your mayor sucks and your governor sucks, ” Homan said at the event. While local advocates cheered the mayor’s decision to shut down the Floyd Bennett Field shelter in Brooklyn, ahead of Trump’s inauguration, they voiced outrage Wednesday over the news that the Trump administration plans to repeal a law that blocks ICE from making arrests at “sensitive locations ” like schools and places of worship. “Cruelty, not public safety or security, is Trump’s objective,” Murad Awawdeh, President and CEO of the New York Immigration Coalition, said in a statement. “By directing attacks on immigrants to sensitive locations like schools, churches and hospitals, he shows a callous disregard for vulnerable children and the public safety of every New Yorker.” Awawdeh demanded New York refuse “to participate in ICE’s cruel, politicized immigration agenda” and encouraged Gov. Hochul and state elected officials to pass legislation blocking New York’s state and local government agencies from sharing sensitive information with ICE . The Adams administration on Tuesday announced its plans to close the Floyd Bennett Field tent shelter, which is located on federal land, and move out all the current occupants by Trump’s inauguration — getting ahead of any potential plans from the Trump administration to cancel the lease or to raid the shelter to deport people.

US auto giant General Motors announced Tuesday it will abandon its robotaxi development efforts after a highly publicized incident last year stymied its progress in the autonomous vehicle field. The Detroit-based manufacturer plans to merge the Cruise robotaxi vehicle unit with GM's technical teams to concentrate on developing advanced driver assistance systems for personal vehicles, a statement said. The company said it abandoned the Cruise project "given the considerable time and resources that would be needed to scale the business, along with an increasingly competitive robotaxi market." It marks a major turnaround for GM, which bought the Cruise startup in 2016 and has since spent billions of dollars to make the operation viable. "A robotaxi business is not General Motors’ core business," said GM CEO Mary Barra in a call with analysts. But Barra said GM's commitment to autonomous technology "is unwavering." PAY ATTENTION: Follow us on Instagram - get the most important news directly in your favourite app! The halt of operations comes a year after Cruise was forced to suspend all operations in San Francisco after one of its self-driving cars dragged a woman who had first been hit by a hit-and-run driver in the city.

Shortly before the incident, California authorities had allowed for expanded driverless taxi services in San Francisco, giving the go-ahead for Alphabet-owned Waymo and Cruise. Cruise's exit confirms Waymo as the dominant player in the business, which was valued at $45 billion after a fundraising round in October, according to Bloomberg. The company has been expanding its reach and currently runs robotaxi fleets in San Francisco, Phoenix and Los Angeles. And in a team-up with Uber, the company is planning to offer Waymo robotaxi rides in Atlanta and Austin. Amazon's Zoox meanwhile is conducting robotaxi testing in California and Las Vegas, while Elon Musk recently unveiled what he said was a robotaxi capable of self-driving, predicting it would be available by 2027. GM's strategic pivot comes as embattled automakers worldwide face mounting pressure to balance investments in emerging technologies with near-term profitability.

In conclusion, the request for the arrest warrant for the former defense minister represents a significant step in the fight against corruption in South Korea. It underscores the government's commitment to upholding ethical standards and ensuring accountability in public office.

Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) reportedly said that President-elect Donald Trump’s victory puts Americans in “a very, very dangerous world,” stressing that he plans to spend his final two years in the Senate pushing back against the growing Trump-fueled isolationism within the GOP. The 82-year-old Kentucky Republican, who last month stepped down from his role as the longest-serving party leader in Senate history, has a complicated record with the incoming president . While McConnell has worked to significantly move the country to the right — much of it under the first Trump administration — he is no fan of Trump and his isolationist worldview that’s spreading throughout the Republican Party. “We’re in a very, very dangerous world right now, reminiscent of before World War II,” McConnell told the Financial Times on Wednesday . “Even the slogan is the same, ‘America First.’ That was what they said in the ’30s.” He made similar comments before the election, telling Kristen Welker on NBC’s “Meet the Press” in April that the world is “more dangerous” than before World War II due to the increase in and evolution of terrorism. The interventionist senator highlighted how Trump and the current GOP are regressing to pre-World War II isolationism — a foreign policy position that opposes American military intervention in other countries’ political affairs, including war. Trump and his allies have called for the U.S. to stop sending money to Ukraine , a country that’s been battling Russia now for more than two years. The former and incoming president has also argued that enemies within the U.S. are more dangerous than Russia and China, a claim McConnell said he vehemently disagrees with. “The cost of deterrence is considerably less than the cost of war,” the senator said to the Times. “To most American voters, I think the simple answer is, ‘Let’s stay out of it.’ That was the argument made in the ’30s and that just won’t work. Thanks to [former President Ronald] Reagan, we know what does work — not just saying peace through strength, but demonstrating it.” In one of many examples of putting the GOP first, McConnell told Welker in April that even though he does not personally like Trump, he would support him as the Republican presidential nominee. The senator told the Times that he voted for him in November but characterized the decision as supporting “the ticket” rather than the candidate. “The election’s over and we’re moving on,” he told the publication when asked if he regrets not doing more to stop Trump from taking office again. “He has an enormous audience, and he just won a national election, so there’s no question he’s the most influential Republican out there.” Trump is no fan of McConnell either, recently calling him a “disgrace” for endorsing him. McConnell, who has had multiple health scares in recent years, was replaced as the GOP’s Senate leader by South Dakota’s John Thune and said that he will not seek reelection after finishing the two remaining years in his current term.
