NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! A federal prosecutor acknowledged Thursday that the decision to charge Salvadoran migrant Kilmar Abrego Garcia two years after a routine traffic stop was “extraordinary,” while defending the human smuggling case as legally justified.Abrego Garcia, 31, has become a flashpoint in the national immigration debate since last March, when he was deported to El Salvador in violation of a 2019 court order in what Trump administration officials acknowledged was an “administrative error.” The Supreme Court later ruled that the administration had to work to bring him back to the U.S.After returning in June, Abrego Garcia was taken into federal custody in Nashville and detained on human smuggling charges stemming from a 2022 traffic stop in Tennessee.He has pleaded not guilty and is seeking dismissal of the charges on the grounds of vindictive and selective prosecution. A 2019 court order prevents Abrego Garcia from being deported to El Salvador after an immigration judge determined he faced danger from a gang that had threatened his family. He immigrated to the U.S. illegally as a teenager and has been under the supervision of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Abrego Garcia was accused in court records of repeated domestic…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Brady Tkachuk is back with his Ottawa Senators, and he stood his ground when faced with a question about the viral moment when Team USA laughed at a joke by President Donald Trump about the women’s ice hockey team during a phone call after both teams won gold medals in Milan.As players like Boston Bruins goalie Jeremy Swayman admitted, players “should have reacted differently.”Tkachuk responded to a reporter’s question about the moment Trump said he would “have” to invite the women’s team, which also defeated Canada in the Olympics, to Tuesday’s State of the Union or else he “probably would be impeached.””Yeah, I get it,” Tkachuk said when a reporter asked if he understood that the women’s team felt displeased with the men’s team’s reaction. “I have no other comments other than for the things we can control. We supported them. They supported us. Can’t control what other people say.” Tkachuk added it was “fun” being around the women’s team while in Milan.”It was fun seeing them play, fun to see the excellence they brought every single game and how they’re, by far, the best team in that tournament,” he said. “It was…

New from Ostap Hel and Bestech is the incoming Duoz. Hel is always trying new things and the Duoz looks like a fusion between a fillet knife and an everyday carry flipper. To be clear, the fillet knife vibe is just that, a vibe. Like all Ostap Hel folders, the Duoz is clearly meant to go into the pocket and tackle day-to-day cutting chores, not prepare fish for the fryer. The sweeping, slender trailing point blade brings that maritime pattern to mind, but the compound grind screams modern user – as does the steel, 14C28N stainless, entry-level stuff that still manages to find favor with the enthusiasts thanks to its balanced, reasonable characteristics. Instantly recognizable as a Hel design Given the confined spaces Hel was working with here, he managed to pack in the ergonomic details where it counts – and we’re not even talking about grip yet. Rather, notice the concave area on the space where the flipper tab sits – it provides lots of clearance for reliable firing, and makes indexing without looking down at the knife easier too. There’s a nice long cutout on the channel side to provide easy access to the other key mechanism on…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett isn’t convinced that the Iranian regime is sincere about ongoing talks with the United States about its nuclear program.”I think Iran is going to try and do what they always do, which is buy time until they’re out of the water,” Bennett told Fox News host Brian Kilmeade Thursday on “Fox & Friends.”Thursday’s talks, mediated by Oman, were held in Geneva and centered around Iran’s nuclear program. They came as the United States has built up a significant amount of military assets in the Middle East. Oman’s foreign minister said after Thursday’s meeting that “significant progress” was made and “discussions on a technical level will take place next week in Vienna,” according to reporting from Fox News chief foreign correspondent Trey Yingst. President Donald Trump made the desired outcome of the talks clear during his State of the Union address, emphasizing that he “will never allow the world’s number one sponsor of terror … to have a nuclear weapon.” Former Israeli Prime Minister Bennett believes the regime is set on its nuclear ambitions. “They are rebuilding nuclear capabilities as we speak,” he said, pointing to recent observed activity…

Heavy rotor blades cut through the Iraqi night as American aviators raced towards a firefight unfolding below. In August 2023, French special operations forces had come under attack from Islamic State militants near Hawija and a New York Army National Guard crew was sent to help. This week, France honored six of those guardsmen by awarding them the country’s National Defense Gold Medal with a Bronze star, the Army announced on Monday.The crews launched from Erbil with orders to save around 35 French operators who were trapped under fire by ISIS combatants, according to the Army. Within half an hour, the guardsmen loaded up — alongside a French quick reaction force — aboard two CH-47 Chinooks and took off into the night. The crew had scant information about the situation on the ground as they flew 70 miles to insert reinforcements and then standby, ready to stabilize the situation from the air.Years later, team members, who had in 2023 been assigned to B Company of the 3rd Battalion, 126th General Support Aviation Battalion, stood in a Rochester aviation support facility for commendation. “We’re very proud of what they’ve done as aviators, but I’d say more importantly, I’m very proud of…

Cooking a century ago was far different from modern cooking. The kitchens of yesteryear were stocked with all sorts of ingredients people don’t use anymore such as currants, citron, rhubarb, pastry flour, buckwheat flour, tapioca, and more. These ingredients create unique flavors that many of us have never even tasted.Not only were the ingredients different back then, the language was different too. Instead of saying cup or teaspoon, they said “cupful” or “teaspoonful.” Even the spelling has evolved. For example, what we now spell as “coconut” was spelled as “cocoanut” a long time ago.This collection of 100 recipes from 100 years ago offers a delightful journey into the past, featuring dishes that are very rare nowadays. You’ll find recipes for things like bacon muffins, graham pop-overs, hot cross buns, peanut butter pancakes, lemon citron cake, Cornflake fancies, squash pudding, fish loaf, poorhouse soup, sour cream pie, breakfast apples, tomato fritters, and many other recipes few people make these days.Most of these recipes come from old magazines like American Cooker, Good Housekeeping, and Recipes for Everyday; and they come from old cookbooks like Lowney’s Cook Book, General Welfare Guild Cook Book, and The Boston Cooking School Cook Book, all of which…

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei said Thursday the artificial intelligence company “cannot in good conscience accede” to the Pentagon’s demands to allow wider use of its technology.The maker of the AI chatbot Claude said in a statement that it’s not walking away from negotiations, but that new contract language received from the Defense Department “made virtually no progress on preventing Claude’s use for mass surveillance of Americans or in fully autonomous weapons.”The Pentagon’s top spokesman has reiterated that the military wants to use Anthropic’s artificial intelligence technology in legal ways and will not let the company dictate any limits ahead of a Friday deadline to agree to its demands.Sean Parnell said Thursday on social media that the Pentagon “has no interest in using AI to conduct mass surveillance of Americans (which is illegal) nor do we want to use AI to develop autonomous weapons that operate without human involvement.”Anthropic’s policies prevent its models, such as its chatbot Claude, from being used for those purposes. It’s the last of its peers — the Pentagon also has contracts with Google, OpenAI and Elon Musk’s xAI — to not supply its technology to a new U.S. military internal network.Parnell said the Pentagon wants to…
