Jueza rechaza intento de Trump de desestimar demanda contra detenciones de migrantes en Guantánamo
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) — Una jueza federal rechazó una solicitud del gobierno del presidente Donald Trump para desestimar una demanda que impugna la detención de migrantes en la base naval de Estados Unidos en la Bahía de Guantánamo.
La jueza federal de Distrito Sparkle L. Sooknanan negó el viernes la moción del gobierno federal para desestimar el caso y programó una audiencia para la próxima semana para que las partes discutan los próximos pasos en este caso.
Trump anunció en enero que su gobierno utilizará un centro de detención en Guantánamo para albergar a decenas de miles de los “peores criminales extranjeros”, como parte de su amplia represión de la inmigración.
Entre febrero y junio, el gobierno federal mantuvo a alrededor de 500 inmigrantes en Guantánamo, según Sooknanan, ya que las autoridades usaron la base como una estación de paso para inmigrantes con órdenes finales de deportación.
El abogado de la Unión Americana de Libertades Civiles (ACLU, por sus siglas en inglés), Lee Gelernt, quien argumentó el caso, dijo en un comunicado el sábado que espera que el fallo “ponga fin a la política ilegal del gobierno de Trump de enviar inmigrantes a bases militares en medio de la nada únicamente por su valor teatral”.
La ACLU y otros grupos de defensa de los derechos de inmigrantes han argumentado que trasladar inmigrantes a la base en Guantánamo es ilegal. El gobierno de Trump ha afirmado que tiene amplia autoridad para retener en esas instalaciones a inmigrantes que cuentan con órdenes definitivas de deportación.
En un comunicado, Tricia McLaughlin, secretaria adjunta del Departamento de Seguridad Nacional, dijo: “Esperamos con interés la reivindicación de un tribunal superior sobre nuestro uso de esta instalación para mantener a los criminales fuera de las calles estadounidenses”.
La base, a menudo referida como “Gitmo”, es más conocida por los sospechosos llevados allí después de los ataques del 11 de septiembre de 2001.

SEC championship: No. 3 Georgia ends No. 9 Alabama’s hold on rivalry, beating Crimson Tide 28-7 to win title
ATLANTA — Gunner Stockton threw three touchdown passes as No. 3 Georgia solidified its position for a first-round bye in the College Football Playoff and beat No. 9 Alabama in the Southeastern Conference championship game for the first time, pounding the Crimson Tide 28-7 on Saturday.
Georgia (12-1), had been 0-4 against Alabama in the SEC title game and 1-7 against the Crimson Tide under coach Kirby Smart. Playing in their fifth straight conference championship game, the Bulldogs earned their fourth title under Smart and 16th overall.
The lopsided loss forces Alabama (10-3) to worry about its standing with the College Football Playoff selection committee. The Crimson Tide were believed to be in good position when they moved up one spot in last week’s CFP ranking, but the loss to the Bulldogs provides renewed cause for concern that the Crimson Tide could miss the playoff for the second consecutive season under coach Kalen DeBoer.
Georgia led 21-0 before Alabama’s Ty Simpson threw a 23-yard touchdown pass to Germie Bernard early in the fourth quarter.
The Bulldogs turned two game-changing plays into first-half touchdowns.
Cole Speer’s block of Blake Doud’s punt in the first quarter allowed Georgia to start a drive at the Alabama 21. Nate Frazier ran for 14 yards on first down. On third down from the 1, Stockton faked a handoff, rolled right and passed to Roderick Robinson II for the touchdown.
Late in the first quarter, Daylon Everette’s interception of Simpson’s pass deflected by KJ Bolden gave the Bulldogs the ball near midfield. Stockton’s 1-yard scoring pass to Dillon Bell gave Georgia a 14-0 lead.
A block by London Humphreys helped Nate Frazier score easily on a 9-yard run to cap Georgia’s first possession of the second half, extending the lead to three touchdowns.
Alabama posted the biggest comeback in SEC championship game history when it beat Georgia 35-28 in 2018 after trailing by 14 points. It wasn’t Alabama’s only rally against Georgia. Before Saturday, the Bulldogs were 0-3 against Alabama under Smart when leading at halftime and 90-1 against all other teams.
This time, Georgia wasn’t giving up the lead.
After Simpson’s fourth-and-2 pass from the Alabama 12 was incomplete with 8:17 remaining, Georgia put the game away on Stockton’s 13-yard touchdown pass to Zachariah Branch.
The takeaway
Georgia: The Bulldogs’ offensive line depth showed when the game plan did not seem to be affected by center Drew Bobo (lower leg) missing the game. Stockton successfully converted a fourth-and-1 sneak in the second quarter. Georgia converted another fourth-down run by Josh McCray later in the first half. … Robinson’s touchdown catch was a big surprise. He had only six carries for 22 yards and one catch for 12 yards in the regular season.
Alabama: With running back Jam Miller (lower leg) held out, the Crimson Tide struggled to establish a ground game. Alabama finished with minus-3 rushing yards. The team’s nine carries for 17 yards in the first half included two by wide receivers and one by Simpson. Alabama was 3-for-13 on third down.
Up next
Both teams await the CFP rankings and first-round pairings to be released Sunday.

Embarrassing: Canada Very Belatedly Removes Syria’s Ruling HTS From Terror List
Embarrassing: Canada Very Belatedly Removes Syria’s Ruling HTS From Terror List
The fact that Syria’s head of state got his start working for ISIS, and was a founding member of Syrian al-Qaeda, continues to produce embarrassing headlines.
One full year after former president Bashar al-Assad was overthrown and fled to Moscow, Canada has very belatedly removed President Ahmed al-Sharaa’s militia group Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham from its list of state sponsors of terrorism, according to a Friday statement from the country’s Foreign Ministry. As part of the new action, Syria has also been removed from its list of state sponsors of terrorism (a list the country had been on over many years of the Assad government).
The precursor to Jolani’s Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham was the Syrian AQ group Al-Nusrah Front, via CBC
Sharaa, formerly known as Abu Mohammad al-Jolani, founded and for years headed up the terror group HTS in Idlib province. HTS is the group that took control of Damascus after the collapse of the Syrian army in December 2024.
“Following extensive review, the Government of Canada has removed Syria from Canada’s List of Foreign State Supporters of Terrorism under the State Immunity Act, as well as removed Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) from the List of Terrorist Entities under the Canadian Criminal Code,” the ministry said.
The US was the first to act, having lifted a $10 million bounty on Sharaa within the months after he seized power, followed by a full US delisting.
The Canadian foreign ministry further said that the decision was “not taken lightly.” It stated, “These measures are in line with recent decisions taken by our allies, including the United Kingdom and the United States, and follow the efforts by the Syrian transitional government to advance Syria’s stability, build an inclusive and secure future for its citizens, and work alongside global partners to reinforce regional stability and counter terrorism.”
So Canada seems to be admitting that HTS is indeed linked to al-Qaeda, and was properly designated in years past as a terror group, but that now it is merely going along with its allies the UK and US which removed the legal designation earlier.
The ministry still sought to stress that Canada “remains committed … to counter global security threats, such as those posed by Al-Qaeda” and ISIS (Daesh).
President Sharaa and his HTS fighters – many which now fill up top government positions – have lately been trying to make a show of ‘counter ISIS missions’. However, it is Alawite, Christian, and Druze communities which have suffered repeat attacks by Sharaa’s Islamist forces in recent months.
Western countries have moved to normalize HTS, but nothing fundamentally has changed in their hardline Islamist ideology…

Various reports have also noted that in some cases HTS members sport ISIS patches, and do little to try and hide it. Still, mainstream outlets like CNN haven’t covered this much, and have by and large ‘moved on’ from coverage of Syria, now with Assad out of the way – as the Western powers had long sought in fueling the proxy war for regime change.

Marineros adquieren al relevista dominicano José A. Ferrer en canje con Nacionales
Por JAY COHEN
Los Marineros de Seattle adquirieron el sábado al relevista dominicano José A. Ferrer en un canje con los Nacionales de Washington.
Seattle envió al receptor Harry Ford y al lanzador de ligas menores Isaac Lyon a Washington a cambio de Ferrer, quien estableció la mejor cifra en su carrera con 11 salvamentos en 72 apariciones este año.
Ford, de 22 años, es uno de los principales prospectos del béisbol. Los Marineros ya cuentan con el toletero estelar Cal Raleigh como receptor. Ford hizo su debut en las Grandes Ligas en septiembre, y se fue de 6-1 en ocho juegos.
Seattle ganó la División Oeste de la Liga Americana este año por primera vez desde 2001. Llegó a la Serie de Campeonato de la Liga Americana antes de ser eliminado por Toronto en siete juegos.
La incorporación de Ferrer, de 25 años, les da a los Marineros otro brazo fuerte junto al cerrador mexicano Andrés Muñoz.
Ferrer tuvo una efectividad de 4,48, 71 ponches y 16 bases por bolas en 76 1/3 entradas este año. Se ubicó entre los líderes de las Grandes Ligas con una velocidad promedio de recta de 97,7 mph y un porcentaje de 64,3 de roletazos.
Debutó en las Grandes Ligas con Washington en 2023. Tiene un récord de 8-4 con una efectividad de 4.36 y 12 salvamentos en 142 juegos de su carrera.
El intercambio se anunció en vísperas de las reuniones de invierno del béisbol en Orlando, Florida. Es el primer movimiento significativo de jugadores para Paul Toboni desde que fue contratado como presidente de operaciones de béisbol de los Nacionales en septiembre.
Ford fue seleccionado por Seattle en el 12mo turno del draft amateur de 2021. Bateó para .283 con 16 jonrones y 74 carreras impulsadas en 97 juegos para la sucursal de la Triple-A en Tacoma este año.
Se convirtió en una minicelebridad en Gran Bretaña después de jugar para el país en el Clásico Mundial de Béisbol 2023.
Ford se une a una franquicia de Washington que no ha tenido un récord ganador desde su campeonato de la Serie Mundial en 2019. Los Nacionales terminaron con un récord de 66-96 este año y finalizaron últimos en la División Este de la Liga Nacional.
Lyon, de 21 años, fue una selección de décima ronda en el draft amateur de este año de la Grand Canyon University. El hijo del exlanzador de Grandes Ligas Brandon Lyon tuvo una efectividad de 7.30 en 12 1/3 entradas que abarcaron cuatro aperturas para la sucursal de la Clase A en Modesto.

Photos: Federal agents are confronted by residents in Elgin
Federal immigration agents deployed tear gas and pepper spray Saturday on a crowd that gathered to protest a prolonged arrest in a northwest Chicago suburb. The standoff began around 10 a.m. Saturday when about 15 agents showed up to arrest an unidentified man at an apartment building on the 1600 block of Maple Lane in Elgin. Elgin police said there had been a traffic crash that morning involving a federal agent and the man, who then fled to the building.

Zelensky ‘Systematically Sabotaged’ Ukraine Anti-Corruption Efforts, NYT Concludes
Zelensky ‘Systematically Sabotaged’ Ukraine Anti-Corruption Efforts, NYT Concludes
Over the past four years, the Ukrainian government “systematically sabotaged” oversight of the country’s state-owned companies and weapons procurement processes, “allowing graft to flourish,” a freshly published New York Times investigation has revealed.
The investigation details how the government of Volodymyr Zelensky sidelined outside experts from the US and EU serving on advisory boards responsible for monitoring spending, appointing executives, and preventing corruption.
“President Volodymyr Zelensky’s administration has stacked boards with loyalists, left seats empty, or stalled them from being set up at all. Leaders in Kiev even rewrote company charters to limit oversight, keeping the government in control and allowing hundreds of millions of dollars to be spent without outsiders poking around,” the NYT report says.
The investigation was published amid a corruption scandal centering on close associates of the Ukrainian president. Anti-corruption authorities have accused members of Zelensky’s inner circle of embezzling $100 million from the state-owned nuclear power company, Energoatom.
“Mr. Zelensky’s administration has blamed Energoatom’s supervisory board for failing to stop the corruption. But it was Mr. Zelensky’s government itself that neutered Energoatom’s supervisory board,” the NYT writes.
The investigation also found that Zelensky sidelined the supervisory boards of the state-owned electricity company Ukrenergo and Ukraine’s Defense Procurement Agency.
European leaders have justified funneling billions of dollars in taxpayer funds to Ukraine despite knowledge of the systematic corruption and theft plaguing the country. “We do care about good governance, but we have to accept that risk,” said Christian Syse, the special envoy to Ukraine from Norway.
Detective Ruslan Magamedrasulov from the NABU, who was jailed in July due to accusations by the SBU of attempting to sell technical info to Russia, has been released.

“Because it’s war. Because it’s in our own interest to help Ukraine financially. Because Ukraine is defending Europe from Russian attacks,” he added.
Zelensky’s chief of staff, Andriy Yermak, resigned late last month amid the Energoatom corruption scandal and just hours after police raided his home. Ukrainska Pravda reported that he had left for Israel, of which he is a citizen, just hours before the raid.
Yermak is widely considered the second-most-powerful official in the country, with influence over domestic politics, military issues, and foreign policy, Axios noted.

Businessman Timur Mindich, who co-founded the entertainment company Kvartal 95 with Zelensky, allegedly led the embezzlement scheme. Mindich also escaped to Israel, where he enjoys citizenship, hours before a separate raid on his luxury apartment by police from the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU).
“Timur had an apartment with golden toilets that was in the same building as Zelensky’s,” a former Ukrainian government official told Fox News.

Authorities: Man found fatally stabbed in West Loop condo
A man was found fatally stabbed inside a residence in the city’s West Loop, according to Chicago police.
The victim, 54, was found unresponsive with multiple stab wounds to his chest inside the home in the 700 block of West Jackson Boulevard just after 1 p.m., police said.
The man, Brant R. Dykehouse, of the Jackson Boulevard address, was pronounced dead at the scene, according to the Cook County medical examiner’s office.
The death was assigned to Belmont Area detectives, according to police. No arrests had been made as a homicide investigation was underway, police said. An autopsy is scheduled for Sunday.

Where Are America’s Dry Counties?
Where Are America’s Dry Counties?
While the U.S. ended federal Prohibition in 1933, local restrictions on alcohol still persist across the country to this day.
As Visual Capitalist shows in the map below, based on work by Wikipedia user Mr. Matté, many counties remain “dry,” banning the sale of alcohol entirely, or “moist,” allowing only limited sales.
Where Alcohol is Still Restricted
The data, crowdsourced from local government sites and media reports, reveals that alcohol restrictions are concentrated in the South, particularly in states like Arkansas, Kentucky, Mississippi, and Tennessee.
Arkansas stands out the most in the map above, with a patchwork of red and orange counties indicating either total bans or partial restrictions on alcohol sales. In fact, the state has long struggled with outdated liquor laws, where even grocery stores in “moist” counties may be prohibited from selling wine or spirits.
Alcohol Status: It’s Complicated
Here’s what the terminology means:
Dry county: No alcohol sales allowed by law
Moist county: Alcohol sales are partially restricted (e.g. allowed in restaurants but not in stores)
Wet county: Alcohol can be sold without county-level restriction
Even within “wet” counties, individual towns may choose to remain dry, and in “dry” counties, specific towns or establishments can apply for exemptions, creating a legal maze for consumers and businesses alike.
Declining Dryness Over Time
According to the National Alcohol Beverage Control Association, the number of dry counties has dropped significantly since the mid-20th century. In Texas, for example, only three dry counties remain.
Nonetheless, the persistence of these regulations reflects longstanding cultural attitudes and the influence of local referenda. While national consumption of spirits is rising, especially in certain states, the map shows that alcohol availability is still very much a local matter.

On day of Kristi Noem visit to Chicago, federal immigration agents use tear gas on Elgin crowd
Federal immigration agents deployed tear gas and pepper spray Saturday on a crowd that gathered to protest a prolonged arrest in a northwest Chicago suburb, angering neighbors who said it was “uncalled for” and “tremendously disappointing.”
The standoff began around 10 a.m. Saturday when about 15 agents showed up to arrest an unidentified man at an apartment building on the 1600 block of Maple Lane in Elgin. Elgin police said there had been a traffic crash that morning involving a federal agent and the man, who then fled to the building.
The crowd, blowing whistles and shouting at agents to leave, grew throughout the morning, eventually swelling to at least 100 people by the afternoon.
Around 3:30 p.m., agents reportedly arrested the man while he was inside an apartment. Afterward, videos taken by a witness at the scene showed some people in the crowd throwing snowballs at the agents and their vehicles, while others yelled at them to stop.
While driving away, agents hurled pepper spray and flash-bang grenades into the crowd. One agent told the crowd, “Back up or gas will be deployed,” seconds before he threw a canister, a video shows.
U.S. Department of Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokespeople didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. Meanwhile, Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem joined the U.S. Coast Guard for a Christmas tree event at Navy Pier on Saturday.
Audrey Luhmann, 40, of West Chicago, said the pepper spray and tear gas went “everywhere” into the crowd and that she could still smell it about an hour later on her clothes. Luhmann said neighbors asked the agents to see a warrant, which they refused.
“It’s almost as though they wanted things to escalate,” she said. “I don’t understand what goes through their mind to justify that kind of action. This could have been just a normal Saturday, and instead, this is what they have to do to our community.”
Federal agents faced mounting scrutiny from fearful residents and the courts alike over their use of chemical weapons during Operation Midway Blitz, which has tapered off since Border Patrol chief Gregory Bovino left Chicago with hundreds of his agents in November. Body cameras repeatedly captured agents’ apparent glee in deploying tear gas and other munitions on residential streets.
“It’s clear that Chicago and Illinois remain a target of the administration,” Brandon Lee, of the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights, told the Tribune this week after agents detained at least three people in the west suburbs.
According to Elgin Police, a federal agent reported that he was involved in the traffic crash while conducting enforcement activities, and that someone involved in the crash had fled to Maple Lane. The crash occurred around 9:15 a.m. in the 1600 block of West Highland Avenue, police said in a statement.
About 45 minutes later, a separate caller in the 1600 block of Maple Lane reported that “subjects in masks were on their property stating they had a warrant.”
The protest outside the building appeared to escalate around 12:30 p.m., however. A video taken by a witness at the scene shows at least two agents tackling a protester while other agents push the crowd back. Agents then threw tear gas and pepper balls into the crowd, according to witnesses and videos.
Tracy Howell, 58, said the agents tackled the man after he stepped closer to them off the sidewalk. At that point, agents shot the pepper balls, which Howell said “irritated” her nose and throat. She had arrived at the apartment building around noon, she said.
“(The agents) just kept saying, ‘Move back. Move back.’ And I kept asking, ‘Where do you want us to move back to?’” she said. “And the guy who was most aggressive … pushed me to the ground.”
Howell said neighbors were bringing pizzas, water and hand warmers so the group could stay out protesting longer. She said, “It causes me so much anxiety” to see the federal immigration activity in her community, especially the use of chemical weapons.
“That was just testosterone and anger and uncalled for. There was no reason for it. One little step and they’re triggered,” she said. “I never would have guessed that I would have been pepper shot at or pushed down by law enforcement.”
Elgin Police said they received reports that shots had been fired, but they determined this wasn’t true after arriving at the scene. They instead found that agents had “dispersed chemical irritants.” They treated and released seven people at the scene.
“The Elgin Police Department will continue to respond to any calls for service and determine the appropriate action within the parameters of the Illinois Trust Act which prohibits Elgin officers from assisting with federal immigration enforcement operations,” the department said.
By 2:30 p.m., the man the agents were attempting to arrest was still on the balcony. About 30 agents at the scene were trying to negotiate with him, while a crowd of about 200 people told the man not to talk to them.
