Federal immigration agents arrest man at at Bolingbrook police station
Federal immigration agents arrested a 40-year-old man at the Bolingbrook Police Department Tuesday morning, following a confrontation with federal immigration agents, according to local authorities.
Bolingbrook police in a news release said federal agents were conducting “targeted immigration enforcement” at a home on Hywood Lane in the southwest suburb when they came in contact with a 40-year-old man sitting in a nearby pickup truck. Involved agents relayed to police that the man was ordered to identify himself and exit the car.
But the man proceeded to “drive through the grass before intentionally ramming an agent’s vehicle head-on, while it was parked with its emergency lights activated,” police said, citing agents. The man then fled the scene in his vehicle and drove to the Bolingbrook Police Department to report the encounter, per authorities.
Bolingbrook officers were dispatched to the department lobby at about 7:42 a.m. Before officers arrived, the man was taken into custody by federal agents, police said.
Police said their only involvement was filing a report for criminal damage to property for the “alleged intentional” crash on Hywood.
The Tribune has reached out to the Department of Homeland Security for comment.

UPS Won’t Resurrect MD-11 Fleet After Deadly Crash, Takes $137M Charge
UPS Won’t Resurrect MD-11 Fleet After Deadly Crash, Takes $137M Charge
Authored by Eric Kulisch via FreightWaves.com,
UPS has decided to permanently retire its fleet of 27 MD-11 aircraft and take a $137 million after-tax write off instead of returning the widebody freighters to service even if they are cleared to fly again by aviation authorities following the crash of one of its planes in early November.
The express delivery and logistics giant began a phased drawdown of the aging tri-engine aircraft, but said on Tuesday that it has accelerated the retirement plan and will replace the aircraft with more efficient twin-engine Boeing 767-300 cargo jets.
The MD-11s have been parked since Nov. 8, when the Federal Aviation Administration ordered UPS, FedEx and Western Global Airlines to ground their MD-11 fleets until inspections and any potential corrective steps can be completed in the wake of the fiery crash of UPS MD-11 in Louisville, Kentucky, that killed 15 people. Investigators are focusing on why the engine and engine pylon, which was discovered to have structural fatigue cracks, separated from the left wing as the plane moved down the runway.
UPS compensated for the loss of MD-11 capacity during the fourth-quarter peak season by repositioning some aircraft from other parts of the world to the United States, moving more packages by truck and leasing aircraft from partner airlines. The ability to meet demand with alternative capacity convinced management to discard the MD-11s, said Chief Financial Officer Brian Dykes during an earnings call with analysts.
“Over the next fifteen months, we expect to take delivery of 18 new Boeing 767 aircraft, with 15 expected to deliver this year. As new aircraft join our fleet, we will step down the leased aircraft and associated expenses. We believe these actions are consistent with building a more efficient global network positioned for growth, flexibility and profitability,” he said.
UPS incurred $50 million in extra costs for other airlines to supply and operate aircraft in the company’s network during the second-half of the fourth quarter and expects to spend $100 million on outsourced capacity this year, Dykes said. Most of the spending for outside airlift will occur in the first half of 2025, when five 767s are expected to be delivered by Boeing.
The MD-11 has a maximum payload of more than 207,000 pounds, with space for 26 containers on the main deck and 13 in the lower hold. The B767 is smaller, with a 132,000-pound payload capability and room for 24 large containers and seven lower-deck shipping units. It also has a shorter range.
FedEx has said it anticipates its fleet of MD-11 freighters to return to service sometime after March, but there has been little indication from regulators so far about the progress of inspections.
Aviation analysts say it may not be worth bringing back the MD-11s if regulators determine that extensive repairs are required to make them safe.
Boeing issued a service bulletin 14 years ago in which it disclosed four previous separations of an attachment that helps hold engines to the MD-11’s wing, according to a National Transportation Safety Board report earlier this month.

Hombre rocía a representante federal Ilhan Omar sustancia desconocida durante foro en Minneapolis
MINNEAPOLIS, Minnesota, EE.UU. (AP) — Un hombre roció a la representante federal Ilhan Omar con una sustancia desconocida antes de ser sometido durante una asamblea pública realizada el martes en Minneapolis, donde las tensiones por las redadas migratorias del gobierno federal han llegado a un punto crítico después de que agentes mataran a tiros a un enfermero de cuidados intensivos y a una madre de tres hijos este mes.
El público aplaudió cuando el hombre, que llevaba una chaqueta negra, fue inmovilizado y maniatado. En un video del incidente se podía escuchar a alguien en la multitud diciendo: “Oh Dios mío, le roció algo”. Omar continuó con la asamblea después de que el hombre fuera sacado de la sala.
Poco antes de eso, Omar pidió la abolición del Servicio de Inmigración y Control de Aduanas y la renuncia de la secretaria de Seguridad Nacional, Kristi Noem.
La policía de Minneapolis no respondió por el momento a una llamada telefónica y un mensaje de correo electrónico en busca de información sobre el incidente y si alguien fue arrestado.
La Casa Blanca no respondió de momento a un mensaje en busca de comentarios el martes por la noche.
El presidente Donald Trump ha criticado frecuentemente a Omar y ha intensificado los ataques verbales contra ella en los últimos meses al centrar su atención en Minneapolis.
Durante una reunión del gabinete en diciembre, la llamó “basura” y agregó que “sus amigos son basura”.
Horas antes el martes, Trump criticó a Omar mientras hablaba ante una multitud en Iowa, y dijo que su gobierno sólo permitiría la entrada de inmigrantes que “puedan demostrar que aman a nuestro país”.
“Tienen que estar orgullosos, no como Ilhan Omar”, comentó, provocando fuertes abucheos al mencionar su nombre.
La representante federal Nancy Mace, una republicana de Carolina del Sur, criticó el ataque contra Omar.
“Estoy profundamente perturbada al enterarme de que la representante Ilhan Omar fue atacada en una asamblea pública hoy”, manifestó Mace a través de X. “Independientemente de lo vehementemente que esté en desacuerdo con su retórica —y lo estoy— ningún funcionario electo debería enfrentar ataques físicos. Esto no es lo que somos”.
El ataque ocurrió días después de que un hombre fuera arrestado en Utah por presuntamente golpear en la cara al representante federal Maxwell Frost, un demócrata de Florida, durante el Festival de Cine de Sundance y decir que Trump lo iba a deportar.

China’s Largest Oil Producer Suspends Purchases Of Venezuela Oil
China’s Largest Oil Producer Suspends Purchases Of Venezuela Oil
Chinese state-owned giant PetroChina, Asia’s largest oil and gas producer, which hasn’t bought Venezuelan crude since the U.S. imposed sanctions on Venezuela in 2019, is not too keen to start buying again after the U.S. authorized global traders to market the crude from the world’s biggest reserves holder, OilPrice reports.
PetroChina has told traders not to buy or trade Venezuela’s oil – a trade that is now under U.S. control after the capture of Nicolas Maduro, trading sources with knowledge of the matter told Reuters on Tuesday.
The Chinese oil and gas giant stopped imports of Venezuelan crude in 2019, when the first Trump Administration slapped sanctions on Venezuela’s oil sector, for fear of running afoul of the restrictions. Before the 2019 sanctions, PetroChina was the single biggest buyer of crude from Venezuela.
Now PetroChina is refraining from buying crude marketed by the world’s top oil trading houses – with U.S. blessing – as it assesses the situation, according to Reuters’ sources.
One reason is the concern that the U.S. controls the oil from Venezuela, another is that the offers aren’t competitive compared to other supplies of heavy crude, including from Canada, the sources told the publication.
The discount of Venezuela’s flagship crude grade Merey relative to Brent has narrowed by about $10 per barrel since the ousting of Maduro.
Vitol, the world’s biggest independent oil trader, is offering Venezuelan crude to Chinese refiners at a discount that’s three times narrower compared to the illicit sales from Venezuela before Maduro’s ousting, anonymous traders with knowledge of the development told Bloomberg last week.
Vitol has recently offered cargoes of Venezuela’s flagship Merey heavy sour crude grade to China at a discount of $5 per barrel to ICE Brent, according to Bloomberg’s sources.
This compares with a discount as wide as $15 a barrel to ICE Brent on a delivered basis before the U.S. blitz in Venezuela and the capture of Maduro.
Meanwhile, Chinese independent refiners, which gorged on cheap sanctioned Venezuelan crude in the past few years, are likely welcoming what could be their last imports of sanctioned Venezuelan oil, which loaded before the U.S. blockade.

Juegos Olímpicos de Invierno contarán con apenas 13 deportistas rusos y 7 bielorrusos
LAUSANA, Suiza (AP) — Un total de 13 deportistas rusos están ahora listos para competir como individuos neutrales en los Juegos Olímpicos de Invierno en Milán-Cortina después de que se confirmaron el martes las invitaciones del COI para esquiadores alpinos y lugers.
Hace cuatro años, la delegación rusa contaba con más de 200 atletas en los Juegos Olímpicos de Invierno de Beijing 2022, que se clausuraron cuatro días antes de que Rusia lanzara una operación total para invadir Ucrania, lo que llevó a su exclusión de gran parte de los deportes internacionales.
Siete atletas bielorrusos han sido invitados a los Juegos de Invierno que comienzan el 6 de febrero. Los rusos y bielorrusos no tendrán su identidad nacional ni los colores de equipo, bandera o himno.
Tampoco podrán participar en los desfiles de atletas de la ceremonia inaugural.
El estatus neutral puede ser aprobado por el Comité Olímpico Internacional para atletas en deportes individuales que se consideró que no apoyaron activamente la guerra de sus países en Ucrania, y que no están contratados por las agencias militares o de seguridad del estado.
Dos deportistas rusos y un bielorruso han sido invitados a competir en esquí alpino en los Juegos Olímpicos, aunque ninguno es un contendiente realista para medallas.
Yulia Pleshkova ha comenzado tres carreras de la Copa del Mundo esta temporada. Su mejor resultado consistió en un 40mo puesto en descenso, y tiene previsto competir más tarde esta semana en Crans-Montana, Suiza.
Los bielorrusos Simon Efimov y Maria Shkanova compiten en eslalon, aunque ninguno se ha clasificado para una segunda carrera en una competencia de la Copa del Mundo este mes.
Intentarían clasificarse para los Juegos Olímpicos después de que un fallo del 2 de diciembre en el Tribunal de Arbitraje Deportivo (TAS) revocó una prohibición general impuesta por la Federación Internacional de Esquí y Snowboard dentro de los días posteriores a la intensificación de la guerra en Ucrania en febrero de 2022.
Atletas de luge
En luge, el COI informó que ha invitado a los rusos Daria Olesik y Pavel Repilov a competir en la pista de deslizamiento en Cortina.
Olesik fue la primera rusa en comenzar una carrera de la Copa del Mundo de luge en casi cuatro años, cuando compitió el mes pasado en Lake Placid, Nueva York.
Repilov fue medallista de plata en individuales masculinos en los Juegos Olímpicos Invernales de la Juventud de Lausana 2020.
Candidatos rusos a medallas
Las mejores perspectivas de medallas rusas en los Juegos Olímpicos son los patinadores artísticos Adeliia Petrosian y Petr Gumennik.
Rusia sigue excluida, como lo estuvo en los Juegos de Verano de París 2024, de deportes de equipo como el hockey sobre hielo.
En los Juegos Olímpicos Invernales de Beijing 2022, los atletas rusos ganaron 32 medallas, incluidas cinco de oro, compitiendo bajo ROC, el acrónimo del Comité Olímpico Ruso, que era un título neutral como castigo en el prolongado escándalo de dopaje auspiciado por el Estado.
En Italia el próximo mes, los atletas serán conocidos como AIN, el acrónimo de Atletas Individuales Neutrales.

Tucker Carlson Presses Peter Schiff On Bitcoin As A New Global Reserve Currency
Tucker Carlson Presses Peter Schiff On Bitcoin As A New Global Reserve Currency
Authored by Christina Comben via CoinTelegraph.com,
In a new interview with US media personality Tucker Carlson, gold advocate Peter Schiff renewed his attack on Bitcoin and the broader crypto industry.
Speaking on Carlson’s show, he argued that Bitcoin is a speculative instrument with “no actual use” and warned that proposals for a US strategic reserve amount to a taxpayer‑funded bailout for early adopters.
Schiff also spent much of the conversation attacking official inflation data and fiscal policy, telling Carlson that Americans are “being lied to” about inflation, and arguing that the government changed the Consumer Price Index so that it could blame the private sector for the higher cost of living, when it was “simply raising prices in response to inflation.”
He singled out President Donald Trump’s signature Big Beautiful Bill as “the worst thing that we’ve done under Trump,” and argued that the legislation not only preserved all the deficit spending under President Joe Biden, but “made it worse” by “increasing government spending” and cutting taxes.
“Complete waste of capital”
Schiff turned to the crypto industry and complained about the US government “promoting” it, which is a “complete waste of capital” and has caused many Americans to “throw their money away” on crypto.

When Carlson cuts in to ask, “Why is it throwing it away?” and why betting on Bitcoin is any different from buying gold or stocks, Schiff answers that BTC has “no actual use” beyond speculation and “the only reason anybody wants to buy it” is that “they think the price is going to go up.” “That is the sole source of demand,” he said.
He added that people who “made money in crypto” only did so because “the crypto that they bought a long time ago went way up,” not because they produced anything of value, or made people’s lives better.
“How’s that different from buying gold? You’re not making anything. You’re not making anyone’s life better,” Carlson interjects, to which Schiff replies:
“There’s a big difference… [Bitcoin] is never going to earn money in the future. It is a non-income-producing digital asset. It’s got nothing in common with gold.”
Bitcoin: The new global reserve currency?
Summarizing Schiff’s arguments about the state of the global economy and the decline in purchasing power of the US dollar, Carlson asks why Bitcoin could not become the next global reserve asset as confidence in the dollar erodes.
Schiff dismisses that idea outright, claiming that a Bitcoin strategic reserve is really just a “Bitcoin bailout fund,” trying to use taxpayer money, and alleging that some early holders “were able to pay off a bunch of politicians and get them to support Bitcoin.”
He argues that both BTC and fiat currencies are ultimately faith‑based, but that central banks cannot rely on Bitcoin because it has no non‑monetary demand and would collapse if they ever tried to liquidate it at scale.
By contrast, he calls gold “real money” and “a valuable commodity” used in jewelry, aerospace, consumer electronics and medicine, and says that tokenized, fully backed gold on blockchains can deliver internet‑native payments without creating inflation or relying on ever‑rising token prices.
The price of gold has been on a tear lately, reaching a new all-time high over $5,000 an ounce on Monday, amid rising global trade tensions, while the Bitcoin price fell briefly below $86,000, signaling a sharp divergence as the precious metal surged 17% in January.

Bill Belichick snubbed by Pro Football Hall of Fame in first year of eligibility, report says
Six-time Super Bowl champion head coach Bill Belichick didn’t get voted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility, according to a report from ESPN.
Citing four unidentified sources, ESPN reported Tuesday that Belichick didn’t receive the necessary 40 votes from the 50-person panel of media members and other Hall of Famers. ESPN said Belichick received a call from the Hall of Fame last Friday with the news.
The Hall of Fame declined to comment before its class of 2026 is announced at NFL Honors in San Francisco on Feb. 5.
The report of Belichick’s snub was met with significant criticism, including from Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who posted on social media: “Insane … don’t even understand how this could be possible.”
Belichick was hired by New England in 2000 and led the franchise to six Super Bowl wins and three other appearances in the title game during an 18-year span from 2001-18. Belichick’s 333 wins in the regular season and playoffs with New England and Cleveland are the second most to Don Shula’s 347. He won AP NFL Coach of the Year three times.
Belichick also was one of the game’s top defensive assistants before taking over in New England, winning two earlier Super Bowls as defensive coordinator for the New York Giants.
Belichick’s career did have blemishes. He was implicated in a sign-stealing scandal dubbed “Spygate” in the 2007 season and was fined $500,000 after the team was caught filming defensive signals from the New York Jets during a game.
Belichick’s tenure in New England ended following the 2023 season. He just finished his first year coaching in college at North Carolina.
Belichick was one of five finalists among coaches, contributors and senior players who last appeared in a game in 2000 or earlier. Patriots owner Robert Kraft was the contributor finalist, with Roger Craig, Ken Anderson and L.C. Greenwood the players.
Between one and three of those finalists will be inducted into the Hall along with between three and five modern-era players from a group of 15 finalists.

Chicago man who broke into Naperville home gets 20-year prison term
A Chicago man who broke into a Naperville home being visited by his former girlfriend, fought with the home’s occupants and threw a landscaping brick through the home’s front window will serve 20 years in prison.
Adam Stone, 28, was sentenced Jan. 23 by DuPage County Circuit Judge Margaret O’Connell, who found him guilty of two counts of home invasion, a class X felony, following a two-day bench trial in May 2025, a news release from the DuPage County state’s attorney’s office said.
Stone was arrested about 4:10 a.m. Aug. 6, 2022, after he broke a basement window to get into a residence on Smokey Court and ended up fighting with the people inside, who forced him outside, the release said. After he threw bricks through home’s front window and the windows of vehicles parked in the home’s driveway, several men were able to pin him down and call police.
Stone has been held in the DuPage County jail since his arrest after being denied bail, the release said. At the time he was charged, he was on probation after pleading guilty in April 2022 to aggravated domestic battery charges in Cook County.
“We all have the right to feel safe and secure in our homes,” State’s Attorney Robert Berlin said in a statement. “Our homes are our sanctuaries that provide us with safety and security and when Mr. Stone broke into the victim’s home, he not only shattered the feeling of security the homeowners previously enjoyed, he also set an entire community on edge.”
