U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is acquiring huge warehouses in states like New Jersey, Michigan, and Georgia to add 92,000 beds, pushing total capacity over 100,000 as part of a $45 billion plan tied to mass deportations.

While DHS promises jobs, taxes, and structured facilities, critics like Senators Cory Booker and local advocates decry it as a moral betrayal and wasteful spending, with at least seven purchases confirmed and more pushback halting others.

Pressure mounts on Slot with Salah's nine-game goal drought, squad depth concerns, and end-of-season review rumors, even as the win highlighted the team's resilience.

The Catalan club sees 26-year-old Álvarez, fresh off a €95 million move to Atleti Madrid and loaded with trophies like a World Cup and Champions League by age 23, as the perfect versatile successor to the 37-year-old Lewandowski, whose contract ends in June. Atleti demand around €200 million and say he's not for sale, while Argentine journalist Gastón Edul says Barcelona leak interest but lack the funds to act. As a cheaper alternative, they're considering 27-year-old Marmoush, who joined City for €75 million after scoring 37 goals for Frankfurt but now sits behind Haaland with just four this season.

Key Takeaway

Barcelona dream of Julián Álvarez stepping into Robert Lewandowski's big shoes, but with tight finances, they're lining up Manchester City's Omar Marmoush as a smarter option.
