Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has signed a memorandum deputizing Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) officers to enforce federal immigration laws, aligning with Donald Trump’s crackdown on illegal immigration. Under the agreement with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), state troopers will have the power to detain and deport illegal immigrants. However, concerns arise over staffing shortages and lack of additional funding. DeSantis is also pushing for tougher immigration laws, including eliminating sanctuary protections and enforcing stricter deportation measures. This move could significantly bolster Trump’s immigration policy ahead of the 2024 elections.

President Trump signed an executive order sanctioning the ICC for "abusing its power" after it issued arrest warrants for Israeli PM Netanyahu. The order freezes ICC officials' assets and imposes travel bans, citing “illegitimate actions” against the US and Israel. Trump’s move follows a White House meeting with Netanyahu, where they discussed Gaza and regional policies. The ICC's probe into alleged war crimes in Gaza and Afghanistan has faced US opposition, with Trump previously sanctioning the court in 2020. The Biden administration later lifted those sanctions.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu gifted U.S. President Donald Trump a golden pager during their Washington meeting, referencing a deadly September operation targeting Hezbollah in Lebanon.

Trump returned the gesture with a signed photograph of the two, labeling Netanyahu a “great leader.” This exchange highlights the strained geopolitical context between Israel, Lebanon, and Iran-backed militant groups.
