On January 8, 2026, ICE agents detained the 31-year-old Mexican construction worker in a St. Paul parking lot during a targeted operation; hours later at an ICE facility, he was found with devastating head injuries including multiple fractures and hemorrhages. Castañeda Mondragón claims masked agents beat him with a baton and used racist slurs, while ICE says he injured himself by fleeing while handcuffed and hitting a concrete barrier. Medical staff doubted ICE's account, citing CT scans inconsistent with a single fall, and a federal judge ordered his release after ruling the detention unlawful. The FBI and St. Paul police launched probes in mid-February, though much surveillance video was overwritten.

Key Takeaway

Alberto Castañeda Mondragón woke up in the hospital with eight skull fractures and brain bleeds so bad he forgot his own daughter. Now, conflicting stories from him and ICE have sparked investigations by the FBI and local police.

Simon, whose real name is Junho Sakai and who goes by JAKOPS, was detained early Monday on suspicion of possessing cocaine and cannabis, following a police raid prompted by a tip from last March.

Fans rallied online, joking that his beats were 'too addictive' while vowing to keep streaming 'ROCK THE BOAT' and support XG through the tour.

On February 16, 2026, Rabi Muhammad from Kano was arrested while trying to smuggle the opioids to Cotonou, Benin Republic, using the creative fake bump tactic. Videos show officers in pink uniforms carefully removing the device in a search room, as she stood dressed in traditional attire. The bust was part of a busy week for NDLEA, including an Ivorian man excreting cocaine at Kano airport, a real estate CEO with 89 kilograms of cannabis in Lagos, and raids across several states that nabbed hundreds more kilograms of drugs— even a 68-year-old grandmother in Edo. Chairman Brig. Gen. Mohamed Buba Marwa praised the team's vigilance against these evolving smuggling plots.

Key Takeaway

NDLEA officers at Lagos' Seme border spotted a suspicious protruding belly on a 35-year-old businesswoman heading to Benin. A search revealed 3,200 tramadol capsules hidden inside a strapped-on pink calabash disguised as a pregnancy.

In February 2019, Aisha was abducted near her home in Galkayo, assaulted, mutilated, and killed; her father later chose clan relatives to carry out the 2020 public firing squad in Bosaso after a landmark DNA conviction under Puntland's Sexual Offences Act. Aisha's father confirmed their deaths and told reporters the case would protect Somali girls, while the Justice Minister called it proof of served justice. The photo's recent return to circulation has drawn praise for swift punishment from some, contrasts with Western systems from others, and criticism as primitive from detractors, highlighting global tensions over retribution.

Key Takeaway

A grim 2020 image from Somalia shows the public execution of two men convicted of gang-raping and murdering 12-year-old Aisha Ilyaas Aden, stirring fresh online debates on justice and child protection.

After Israel recognized Somaliland's independence in December 2025, the self-declared republic invited Greece to establish a presence at Berbera, near a strait handling 12 percent of world trade disrupted by Houthi attacks since late 2023. The port, partly run by Dubai's DP World, has grown with rising container volumes, and analysts see potential for Greece's massive merchant fleet to help secure shipping lanes against threats from Houthis and others. While Turkey and Somalia oppose the moves, Greek commentators welcome practical ties in ports and security, though Athens has not yet responded officially.

Key Takeaway

Somaliland's leaders reached out to Greece, calling it a 'maritime titan' to partner at the strategic Berbera port right by the busy Bab el-Mandeb Strait.

Key Takeaway

Photographer Raphael Barberi ducked into a random small church in Bergamo's lower town and found a Baroque interior that left him speechless—towering tabernacles, stucco angels, and swirling frescoes hiding behind a plain facade.

The limited-time After Hours Meal features poutine with a McDouble or Junior Chicken, plus a blue raspberry Nite Sprite in a black OVO cup, available late nights at participating spots.

While some Toronto versions drew harsh criticism, others defended solid takes nationwide, underscoring poutine's deep cultural roots and endless variations across Canada.
