Thousands of arrests have been made in Minneapolis as the Trump administration continues to crackdown on immigration. DHS Secretary Kristi Noem took to X Monday to say over ten-thousand arrests were made of what she called "criminal illegal aliens who were killing Americans, hurting children and reigning terror in Minneapolis."        The Supreme Court could rule today on the legality of President Trump's global tariffs. The justices heard the case in early November. The court's decision could have massive implications for American consumers and businesses, the economy and presidential authority.        President Trump today heads for the World Economic Forum in Davos. On his agenda is his Gaza Board of Peace, a board set up to oversee the Israel-Hamas ceasefire where Trump holds the only veto. He also arrives as he's been ratcheting up talk over putting Greenland under U.S. control. His designs on the Danish territory have created unprecedented concerns among NATO allies.        The Indiana Hoosiers beat the Miami Hurricanes 27-21 to claim the college football playoff championship. Top-ranked Indiana finished a perfect 16-and-0 on the season, winning the school's first football national title.        Travelers who don't have a REAL ID will have an optional process on February 1st. It'll use "biographic and/or biometric information" to confirm a traveler's identity and that they are not on a Secure Flight watch list. The agency recommends completing the optional TSA ConfirmID process before arriving at the airport and there will be a 45-dollar fee meant "to cover verification of an insufficient ID."        Nebraska is the most expensive state for mothers to give birth. Data from MoneyGeek found that families in states like Nebraska, Oklahoma and South Dakota, spent on average more than two-thousand-500-dollars out of pocket in 2020 for costs associated with giving birth. According to the data, rural states have less competitive hospital markets which can drive up prices.
