In April, the latest month for which the data is available, ICE deported over 17,200 people, an increase of about 29% compared with April 2024, when over 13,300 were deported.
Former Russian president raises specter of World War III as rhetoric ramps up over Ukraine
Former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev raised the specter of World War III yesterday as the rhetoric between the White House and the Kremlin ramped up over the war in Ukraine.
Medvedev, now a top security official, was responding to Trump’s post on Truth Social berating his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin as Moscow continued to rain strikes down on its neighbor.
“What Vladimir Putin doesn’t realize is that if it weren’t for me, lots of really bad things would have already happened to Russia, and I mean REALLY BAD,” Trump, who appears to be losing patience over the lack of a ceasefire deal, wrote, adding, “He’s playing with fire!”
Around three hours later, Medvedev took to X, writing, “I only know of one REALLY BAD thing — WWIII. I hope Trump understands this!”
