MIAMI By REBECCA BLACKWELLAssociated Press MIAMI (AP) — During the first Trump administration, families were forcibly separated at the border.
Some of the nation’s most prestigious colleges have been enrolling record numbers of low-income students as campuses prioritize economic diversity in the wake of a ban on affirmative action. Students from lower economic rungs remain in the minority on elite campuses, but some schools have accelerated efforts to reach a wider swath of the country. College officials have been steering more financial aid to students whose families are not among the highest earners and seeking out students in poorer areas. Several elite colleges have new freshman classes with more low-income students than ever, including Princeton, Johns Hopkins and MIT.
The Senate is set to question military leaders over President Donald Trump’s deployment of the National Guard to American cities. The Senate Armed Services Committee is holding a hearing Thursday on Trump’s extraordinary move, which in some places was done over the opposition of governors and mayors. The deployments have prompted legal challenges as well as questions about states’ rights and the use of the military on U.S. soil. The hearing will bring the highest level of scrutiny to Trump’s use of the National Guard outside of a courtroom since the deployments began and comes a day after the president faced another legal setback.
The Senate is poised to reject legislation to extend Affordable Care Act tax credits for millions of Americans. Thursday’s planned vote is a potentially unceremonious end to a monthslong Democratic effort to prevent the COVID-era subsidies from expiring on Jan. 1. Despite a bipartisan desire to continue the credits, Republicans and Democrats have never engaged in meaningful or high-level negotiations on a solution. Instead, the Senate is expected to vote on two partisan bills and defeat them both — essentially guaranteeing that many who buy their health insurance on the ACA marketplaces could see a steep rise in costs at the beginning of the year.
Cryptocurrency mogul Do Kwon is scheduled to be sentenced for misleading investors who lost billions when his company’s crypto ecosystem collapsed in 2022. Kwon, known by some as “the cryptocurrency king,” pleaded guilty in Manhattan federal court in August to fraud charges stemming from Terraform Labs’ $40 billion crash. He is set to be sentenced Thursday. The company had touted its TerraUSD as a reliable “stablecoin” — a kind of currency typically pegged to stable assets to prevent drastic fluctuations in prices. But prosecutors say it was all an illusion that came crumbling down, devastating investors and triggering “a cascade of crises that swept through cryptocurrency markets.”
Lawyers for the 22-year-old Utah man charged with killing Charlie Kirk are expected in court as they push to further limit media access in the high-profile criminal case. A Utah judge has been weighing the public’s right to know details in Tyler Robinson’s case against his attorneys’ concerns that the swarm of media attention could interfere with his right to a fair trial. Prosecutors have charged Robinson with aggravated murder in the Sept. 10 shooting of the conservative activist on the Utah Valley University campus. They plan to seek the death penalty. Judge Tony Graf could decide on a request from law enforcement and Robinson’s legal team to ban cameras in the courtroom.
Farmers in the U.S. are feeling the strain from trade disputes, particularly with China. President Donald Trump has announced $12 billion in aid to help them, but many farmers say it’s not enough. Gene Stehly, a South Dakota farmer, believes the aid is insufficient to cover losses from low commodity prices and declining sales. Farmers like Charlie Radman and Bryant Kagay express frustration, saying they need more certainty and new markets, not just temporary payments. The aid is seen as a stopgap, with many farmers wanting solutions to rising costs and market access beyond China.
Defense attorneys and prosecutors are set to choose the jurors who will decide whether a Wisconsin judge accused of helping a Mexican immigrant dodge federal officers broke the law. Federal prosecutors charged Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan in April with obstruction and concealing an individual to prevent arrest. She could face up to six years in prison if convicted on both counts. Jury selection for her trial is set to begin Thursday. Opening statements are set for Monday. Dugan has maintained she was acting within her authority when she led the man out of her courtroom through a private doorway when she learned agents were in the courthouse looking to arrest him.
A new wave of immigration enforcement is dividing families inside the U.S. Federal officials and their local law enforcement partners are detaining tens of thousands of asylum-seekers and migrants. And Trump’s top border team plans to keep ‘full speed ahead.’ Detainees are repeatedly moved, then deported. Or they are held in poor conditions for weeks or months before asking to go home. The federal government was holding an average of more than 66,000 people during the first half of November, the highest on record. Three families separated by migration enforcement in recent months told The Associated Press that their existence is anguished without knowing if they will see their loved ones again.
Tennessee is preparing to execute Harold Wayne Nichols by lethal injection for the 1988 rape and murder of 20-year-old Karen Pulley. Nichols confessed to killing Pulley as well as raping several other women in the Chattanooga area. Although he expressed remorse at trial, he admitted that he would have continued his violent behavior had he not been arrested. He was sentenced to death in 1990. His execution is scheduled to take place on Thursday. His attorneys unsuccessfully sought to have his sentence commuted to life in prison. They cited the fact that he took responsibility for his crimes and pleaded guilty.
USA Today’s editor in chief, Caren Bohan, is out of the job she’s held for a little more than a year. No reason was given for the exit, confirmed by Monica Richardson, senior vice president of USA Today. The newspaper is the flagship of the Gannett chain, the nation’s largest. Like most news organizations, it has suffered financially over the past two decades and announced $100 million in cuts this past summer. In a social media statement, Bohan made reference to financial challenges in praising her USA Today colleagues for their work. Bohan has had a long career covering and editing political stories for USA Today and the Reuters news service.
The Trump administration may have softened its language on China to maintain a truce in their trade war, but Congress is pushing for more restrictions on Beijing. A defense authorization bill approved Wednesday by the House includes provisions to deny Beijing investments in sensitive sectors and reduce U.S. reliance on Chinese biotechnology companies. The efforts would scrutinize American investments that could boost China’s military and prohibit government contracts with certain Chinese biotech firms. The National Defense Authorization Act also would boost U.S. support for the self-governing island of Taiwan that Beijing claims as its own.
The Trump administration is adding another militarized zone to the southern U.S. border to support border security operations — this time in California. The Department of Interior on Wednesday said it would transfer jurisdiction along most of California’s international border with Mexico to the Navy. Since April, large swaths of border have been designated militarized zones, empowering U.S. troops to apprehend immigrants and others accused of trespassing on Army, Air Force or Navy bases. The military strategy was pioneered in April along a 170-mile (275-kilometer) stretch of the border in New Mexico and later expanded to portions of the border in Texas and Arizona.
Democratic U.S. Rep Jared Golden of Maine announces plans for a discharge petition to force a vote on his bill
President Donald Trump has announced the long-awaited launch of a “gold card” program offering legal status and a pathway to U.S. citizenship. Individuals can pay $1 million, and corporations can pay $2 million per foreign-born employee. The program is meant to replace EB-5 visas and is aiming at attracting top talent and generate federal revenue. Trump said the funds will benefit the U.S. government. The program effectively offers a green card, but Trump argued that it will mean a stronger path to citizenship. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said the program will include $15,000 for applicant vetting and said Trump’s idea was to “bring the best people into America.”
The House votes to pass a sweeping defense policy bill that authorizes $900 billion in military programs. The bill includes a pay raise for troops and an overhaul of how the Department of Defense buys weapons. It comes at a time of increasing friction between the Republican-controlled Congress and how President Donald Trump’s administration has handled the military. The White House has signaled “strong support” for the must-pass legislation and says it is in line with Trump’s national security agenda. Yet tucked into the over-3,000-page bill are several measures that push back on the Department of Defense.

A parent of a Kentucky State University student has been charged with murder following a campus shooting. Police say 48-year-old Jacob Lee Bard shot two students at a residence hall on Tuesday. Police say the attack killed 19-year-old De’Jon Fox and critically injured another student. Investigators say university police were at an altercation when the shooting happened and immediately arrested Bard. Police did not release a motive for the attack. The shooting happened at Whitney M. Young Jr. Hall, marking the second shooting near the residence in four months. University officials are reviewing safety measures to protect students.

The U.S. suicide rate has fallen after years of hovering at some of the highest levels ever reported, according to preliminary data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. But some experts say it’s hard to know exactly why suicides fell last year, or whether the decline will continue. The CDC says a little over 48,800 suicide deaths were reported in 2024. That’s roughly 500 fewer than the year before. The overall rate dropped to 13.7 per 100,000 people. Suicide was the nation’s 10th leading cause of death in 2024.

Casting directors have long been the unsung heroes behind films like “Wicked.” Bernard Telsey and Tiffany Little Canfield are among those who helped populate the two-part movie. Casting directors will finally get Oscar recognition next year with a new award category. Telsey explains that casting is often invisible but crucial to a film’s success. He and his team work across various mediums, from theater to TV. Despite challenges, they strive to find the perfect actors. Telsey believes good acting transcends mediums, and technology has changed the casting process, making it more global and fast-paced.
SOUTH DAKOTA — Yesterday, Governor Larry Rhoden announced via news.sd.gov that he had urged Attorney General Marty Jackley to investigate
A private funeral has been held for a West Virginia National Guard member who was shot to death last month in the nation’s capital. Gov. Patrick Morrisey says Spc. Sarah Beckstrom was laid to rest with full military honors Tuesday at the West Virginia National Cemetery in Grafton. Beckstrom and Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe were ambushed as they patrolled a subway station three blocks from the White House on Nov. 26. Beckstrom died the next day. Wolfe remains in a hospital in Washington. A 29-year-old Afghan national who was also shot during the confrontation has been charged with murder. He pleaded not guilty.
Defensive end Stephen Daley is expected to miss the College Football Playoff after getting injured during No. 1 Indiana’s Big Ten championship celebration. Coach Curt Cignetti made the announcement Wednesday. A social media video showed Daley appearing to land awkwardly on his right leg while high-fiving fans moments after the Hoosiers completed a 13-10 victory over Ohio State to capture their first Big Ten title since 1967. Daley had 38 tackles, 19 tackles for loss, 5 1/2 sacks, two forced fumbles and one pass breakup this season, earning all-Big Ten honorable mention honors.
President Donald Trump says the United States has seized an oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela as tensions mount with the government of President Nicolás Maduro. Using U.S. forces to seize an oil tanker is incredibly unusual and marks the Trump administration’s latest push to increase pressure on Maduro. Trump told reporters at the White House on Wednesday that “other things are happening,” but he didn’t offer additional details. The seizure was led by the U.S. Coast Guard and supported by the Navy. That’s according to a U.S. official who was not authorized to comment publicly and spoke on the condition of anonymity.
U.S. prosecutors have told the Supreme Court that they want to give up their fight to preserve the convictions of a former Fox executive and a South American sports media company in a corruption case related to the TV rights for international soccer tournaments. Tuesday’s filing follows a yearslong legal battle. Hernan Lopez is former CEO of Fox International Channels. He and the company Full Play Group SA were convicted in 2023 but subsequently granted an acquittal by a judge. An appeals court reinstated the convictions in July. But additional appeals followed, and the fate of prosecution has been uncertain. Lopez called the charges against him “baseless.”

Shedeur Sanders is still learning to decipher NFL defenses, recognize coverages and make smarter decisions. He can already read the room. The rookie quarterback is staying focused on improvement despite being named Cleveland’s starter for the rest of this season following a four-TD performance against Tennessee. Sanders insists he’s not concerned with whether he has shown Cleveland enough to end its long search for a franchise QB. The fifth-round pick has risen from draft outlier to fourth-stringer to starter while proving the Browns hope in another rotten season. He’ll get a tough test Sunday when the Browns visit the Chicago Bears, who lead the league with 18 interceptions.

Colorado selected right-hander RJ Petit from Detroit with the first of 13 picks in the Rule 5 draft of unprotected players left off 40-man major league rosters. Now 26, Petit was taken by the Tigers in the 14th round of the 2021 amateur draft and was 10-2 with a 2.44 ERA in two starts and 45 relief appearances this year for Double-A Erie and Triple-A Toledo. He struck out 79 and walked 22 in 66 1/3 innings. Petit is 21-15 with a 3.40 ERA and 14 saves in five starts and 182 relief appearances over five minor league seasons.
NASA has lost contact with a spacecraft that’s been orbiting Mars for more than a decade. Maven abruptly stopped communicating to ground stations over the weekend. NASA said this week that it was working fine before it went behind the red planet. When it appeared again, there was only silence. Launched in 2013, Maven has been studying the upper Martian atmosphere and its interaction with the solar wind since 2014. It also serves as a communication relay for NASA’s two Mars rovers, Curiosity and Perseverance.
The Federal Reserve cut its benchmark interest rate by a quarter point Wednesday for the third time since September, bringing its key rate to about 3.6%, the lowest in nearly three years. Before September, it had gone nine months without a cut. The benchmark rate is the rate at which banks borrow and lend to one another, and the Fed has two goals when it sets the rate: one, to manage prices for goods and services, and two, to encourage full employment. The benchmark rate also affects the interest rates consumers pay to borrow money via credit cards, auto loans, mortgages, and other financial products.
Kyle Schwarber has signed a $150 million, five-year deal to stay with the Philadelphia Phillies just before the expected birth of a daughter. He shared Wednesday how he rushed to Philadelphia for contract formalities and then returned to Ohio to be with his family. Schwarber turns 33 in March. He had a standout year with 56 homers and 132 RBIs. He expressed his desire to continue contributing to the Phillies and compete for World Series titles. Phillies president Dave Dombrowski emphasized Schwarber’s impact on the team since joining. Schwarber won a World Series title with the Cubs in 2016.

Travelers who are now able to come to the United States without a visa might soon need to provide social media, email, and family history details to the Department of Homeland Security. The Trump administration has increased monitoring of international travelers. And now, Customs and Border Protection is proposing collecting five years of social media data from travelers from about roughly 40 mostly European and Asian countries who can now come to the U.S. for tourism or business for three months without visas. The public has 60 days to comment on these proposed changes.
Democrat Eileen Higgins’ victory in the Miami mayoral race marks a setback for Republican President Donald Trump. The president endorsed Higgins’ rival and has touted his 2024 win in the area as evidence of his appeal in Florida and particularly among Hispanic voters. Higgins, who will be the city’s first female mayor, secured a decisive win over Trump’s pick, Emilio Gonzalez on Tuesday. On Wednesday, Higgins said she will explore legal ways to unwind an agreement that empowers police officers to conduct immigration enforcement. She emphasized affordability issues, contrasting Trump’s dismissive stance on inflation. Higgins also expressed concerns over a proposed Trump presidential library in Miami, calling it a “land giveaway.”
Oil companies have offered $279 million for drilling rights in the Gulf of Mexico in the first offshore lease sale in the region since 2023. Wednesday’s Department of Interior auction was the first of 30 sales planned for the Gulf under Republican efforts to ramp up U.S. fossil fuel production. The sale came after President Donald Trump’s administration announced plans to allow new drilling off Florida and California for the first time in decades, drawing pushback including from Republicans worried about impacts on tourism. Wednesday’s sale was mandated by the sweeping tax-and-spending bill approved by Republicans over the summer. Thirty companies submitted bids, including industry giants Chevron, Shell and BP.

Philip Rivers wanted one more shot at winning that elusive Super Bowl ring. So the 44-year-old grandfather and Hall of Fame semifinalist is coming out of retirement and rejoining the Indianapolis Colts. Just hours after team officials announced they’d signed Rivers to the practice squad, the eight-time Pro Bowler told reporters he’s eager to take his first NFL snaps since 2020 and hopes to start Sunday’s crucial game at Seattle. Coach Shane Steichen says it’s possible Rivers could earn the job. Rivers says “I know there’s risk involved, what may or may not happen, but the only way to find out is going for it.”
Waymo’s self-driving taxis have been in the spotlight for both negative and positive reasons. This week, the automated ride-hailing taxis went viral after a San Francisco woman gave birth inside a Waymo taxi while on her way to the hospital. A Waymo spokesperson on Wednesday confirmed the unusual delivery. It said the company’s rider support team detected unusual activity inside the vehicle and alerted 911. The taxi arrived safely at the hospital before emergency services. Waymo’s popularity is growing despite heightened scrutiny following an illegal U-turn and the death of a San Francisco cat. The company, owned by Alphabet, says it is proud to serve riders of all ages.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio has ordered diplomatic correspondence to stop using the Calibri font and return to the more traditional Times New Roman. The move that takes effect Wednesday reverses a Biden administration shift to the less formal typeface that Rubio calls wasteful, confusing and unbefitting the dignity of U.S. government documents. In a cable sent to all U.S. embassies and consulates abroad Tuesday, Rubio said the 2023 shift to the sans serif Calibri font was the result of misguided diversity, equity and inclusion policies pursued by his predecessor. The cable says it “was promised to mitigate accessibility issues for individuals with disabilities.” It asserts that the change had cost the State Department $145,000 but offered no evidence.

Dallas Mavericks center Dereck Lively II is set for season-ending surgery on his ailing right foot, another setback for the promising but oft-injured player. The team says the surgery will be performed by Dr. James Calder in London. The Mavericks previously said Lively was seeking multiple medical opinions as discomfort in the foot lingered. He had a procedure on the same foot in the offseason. Lively’s final game of the season was a 118-115 victory over New Orleans on Nov. 21. He will have missed 148 of a possible 246 games by the end of his third season.
Chris DeMarco is excited to get started as coach of the New York Liberty. He’ll have to wait a few more weeks to officially get going as he won’t begin until Jan. 1. For now he’ll continue as an assistant coach of the Golden State Warriors. Ironically, his last game with the Warriors is in Brooklyn against the Nets right before the start of 2026. DeMarco has been with the Warriors for 13 years in a variety of positions, including player development coach and assistant, and helped the franchise win four NBA championships.
The man charged with shooting Jets player Kris Boyd at a Manhattan restaurant appeared in a New York City court late Tuesday. Frederick Green pleaded not guilty to charges, including attempted murder, for the Nov. 16 shooting. Boyd was critically injured but is recovering. Police say Boyd was shot after a fight with a group of men. Surveillance footage allegedly shows Green at the scene. Following a weekslong search, U.S. marshals tracked down Green on Monday at an apartment complex in the Buffalo area.
Author James Patterson has surprised hundreds of booksellers with $500 checks for the holidays. Melanie Moore, who runs the Ohio-based Cincy Book Bus, says this is her first paycheck, as all profits from her bookstore go to buying books for kids in need. Patterson’s publisher, Little, Brown & Company, announced the bonuses on Wednesday. Over the past 20 years, Patterson has donated millions to schools, libraries, and literacy programs. He has made it a tradition to send checks to 600 independent booksellers recommended by peers or patrons. Patterson emphasizes that booksellers save lives and acknowledges their crucial work.
The language of politicians has become more vulgar in recent years. Leaders in both parties are openly using vulgarities. President Trump recently referred to alleged drug smugglers with an expletive during a Cabinet meeting. Vice President JD Vance and former Vice President Kamala Harris have also used to coarse language in public. Experts say this shift reflects changes in political discourse, increased media coverage, and social media’s influence. On social media or other digital platforms, posts or video clips that evoke the strongest emotions are often rewarded with the most engagement.

BROOKINGS, S.D. (AP) — Daktronics Inc. (DAKT) on Wednesday reported net income of $17.5 million in its fiscal second quarter.
The St. Louis Blues have signed Dillon Dube to an American Hockey League professional tryout agreement. Dube is the last remaining player acquitted of sexual assault in the high-profile case involving members of Canada’s 2018 world junior team not to sign a contract somewhere. Goaltender Carter Hart with the Vegas Golden Knights is the only one who has played in the NHL since the trial ended last summer with a not guilty verdict. Defenseman Cal Foote signed with the AHL’s Chicago Wolves last week, while forwards Alex Formenton and Michael McLeod are playing in Europe. The Blues said Dube would report to the Springfield Thunderbirds after receiving his work visa.

Three years ago, Arden Cho was ready to walk away from acting. She’d landed her first lead role in the Netflix series “Partner Track” only to see it canceled after one season. Now, Cho is one of The Associated Press’ Breakthrough Entertainers of 2025 after voicing the lead character Rumi in Netflix’s animated summertime hit “KPop Demon Hunters.” It’s become the most-streamed movie on the platform and spawned inescapable earworms “Golden” and “Soda Pop” as its soundtrack dominated pop charts. Cho calls it her “golden moment.” She has multiple film projects lined up for next year.
Owen Cooper has been named one of The Associated Press’ Breakthrough Entertainers for 2025. Cooper was just 15 when he won an Emmy for best supporting actor for his astonishing performance as a murder suspect in the British Netflix drama “Adolescence.” Now 16, Cooper tells the AP that not long ago he spent most of his time playing soccer and dreaming of becoming a professional. But when some casual acting classes revealed his gift, he recalibrated his future plans. Next year, he’ll make his movie debut in director Emerald Fennell’s adaptation of “Wuthering Heights.” He says he wants to be fearless as an actor and try everything.
Diana Ross has been named the headliner for “Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve.” The pop icon will perform a medley of hits, including “I’m Coming Out” and “Upside Down.” The show will feature 39 artists from locations like New York, Las Vegas, and Chicago. Other performers include Mariah Carey, Post Malone, and Demi Lovato. The event will air live on ABC on Dec. 31 at 8 p.m. EST and repeat on Hulu. Ryan Seacrest and Rita Ora will host from Times Square, with Chance the Rapper in Chicago and Rob Gronkowski in Las Vegas.
The next Met Gala co-chairs have been announced, and it’s a high-powered quartet: Beyoncé, Venus Williams and Nicole Kidman will join Vogue’s Anna Wintour in hosting the starry event next May. Williams will co-chair seven years after her younger sister, Serena, did the same. Beyoncé takes the role after serving as honorary chair in 2013, and Kidman served as co-chair in 2003 and 2005. The museum also announced a host committee of notables, including Sabrina Carpenter and Sam Smith. The dress code will be announced later, but will align with the spring fashion exhibit, “Costume Art,” celebrating the dressed body in art history.

The Federal Reserve will almost certainly reduce its key interest rate Wednesday, but the bigger question for financial markets and the economy is what signals Chair Jerome Powell may send regarding the central bank’s next steps. It would be the third cut in a row and bring the Fed’s key rate to about 3.6%, the lowest in nearly three years. For Americans struggling with high borrowing costs for homes, cars, and other large purchases, this year’s rate cuts could reduce those costs over time — though it’s not guaranteed.
NASCAR Chairman Jim France has testified in the federal antitrust lawsuit filed by Michael Jordan’s 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports. The lawsuit challenges NASCAR’s revenue-sharing model and charter system. France, who testified on the eighth day of the trial, has refused to make charters permanent, despite pleas from top team owners. NASCAR introduced charters in 2016 to help teams financially. The latest revenue-sharing offer increased annual revenue but didn’t meet all team demands. The jury will decide if NASCAR violated antitrust laws, with potential damages estimated at $364.7 million for 23XI and Front Row.
