France honors fallen soldiers in Afghanistan after Trump's false claim about NATO troops

A senior French government official said Monday the memory of the French soldiers who died in Afghanistan should not be tarnished following U.S. President Donald Trump‘s false assertion that troops from non-U.S. NATO countries avoided the front line during that war.Alice Rufo, the minister delegate at the Defense Ministry, laid a wreath at a monument in downtown Paris dedicated to those who died for France in overseas operations. Speaking to reporters, Rufo said the ceremony had not been planned until the weekend, adding that it was crucial to show that “we do not accept that their memory be insulted.”In October 2001, nearly a month after the Sept. 11 attacks, the U.S. led an international coalition in Afghanistan to destroy al-Qaida, which had used the country as its base, and the group’s Taliban hosts.Alongside the U.S. were troops from dozens of countries, including from NATO, whose mutual-defense mandate had been triggered for the first time after the attacks on New York and Washington. In an interview with Fox Business Network in Davos, Switzerland, Trump on Thursday claimed that non-U.S. NATO troops stayed “a little off the frontlines” in Afghanistan.Minnesota2 hours agoTrump strikes a positive tone on Tim Walz after phone call with the Minnesota governorTrump administration3 hours agoTrump says U.S. used secret weapon to disable Venezuelan equipmentNinety French soldiers died in the conflict.“At such a moment, it is symbolically important to be there for their families, for their memory, and to remind everyone of the sacrifice they made on the front line,” Rufo said.After his comments caused an outcry, Trump appeared to backpedal and heaped praise on the British soldiers who fought in Afghanistan. He had no words for other troops, though.“I have seen the statements, in particular from veterans’ associations, their outrage, their anger, and their sadness,” Rufo said, adding that trans-Atlantic solidarity should prevail over polemics.“You know, there is a brotherhood of arms between Americans, Britons, and French soldiers when we go into combat.”

Perry: Pats were ‘better-prepared and better-coached team' vs. Broncos

Before the AFC Championship Game, Mike Vrabel emphasized the importance of taking care of the football in Denver. The New England Patriots did just that on Sunday, and now they’re headed to Santa Clara for Super Bowl LX.The Patriots defeated the Broncos 10-7 in a tense, snowy showdown between the top two teams in the conference. It wasn’t pretty, but New England’s two takeaways and zero turnovers were the difference in the low-scoring affair.Mike Vrabel’s group was more disciplined than Sean Payton’s in adverse conditions. If you ask Patriots Insider Phil Perry, that was the big takeaway from the Patriots’ first AFC Championship Game win since the 2018 season.“They handled the snow, they handled Jarrett Stidham, and they made fewer mistakes,” Perry said. “To me, this was about the Patriots understanding what kind of game that they were in and not losing it. They made fewer mistakes than the Denver Broncos did.“It certainly was not perfect, but this was a well-coached team on the road. They’re now 9-0 on the season on the road. They go in the toughest environment yet, and they’re going to the Super Bowl because they were the better prepared and better coached football team today.”MORE PATRIOTSNew England Patriots7 hours agoPatriots-Broncos recap: Pats outlast Denver in the snow to earn Super Bowl tripPatriots Pregame Live5 hours agoCould McDaniels leave Pats for Bills HC job?

It has been a miraculous bounce-back campaign after 4-13 finishes in 2023 and 2024. After seconding Perry’s point, Patriots Insider Tom E. Curran called the 2025 Patriots’ run “one of the great turnarounds in the history of the NFL.Former Pats linebacker Ted Johnson came away from Sunday’s win impressed with how Vrabel’s group handled adversity in Denver.“I loved it. It was a gutsy performance. Excellent, excellent job,” Johnson said. “They had a lot going against them, the Patriots did. They had a shorter week, they had to travel, they had the conditions in that altitude, and they didn’t have the bye week like the Broncos did.“So, a lot of things that favored the Broncos in this game, but they went in there and it was a gutsy performance.”The Patriots will meet either the Los Angeles Rams or Seattle Seahawks in Santa Clara for a chance to bring a seventh Lombardi Trophy to Foxboro.

Court records raise doubts that ICE is detaining the ‘worst of the worst' in Maine

Court records raise doubts that ICE is detaining the ‘worst of the worst' in Maine

Immigration and Customs Enforcement has highlighted the detention of people whom it called some of Maine’s most dangerous criminals during operations this past week, but court records paint a more complicated picture.Federal officials say more than 100 people have been detained statewide in what ICE dubbed “Operation Catch of the Day,” a reference to the fishing industry. ICE said in a statement that it was arresting the “worst of the worst,” including “child abusers and hostage takers.” Court records show some were violent felons. But they also show other detainees with unresolved immigration proceedings or who were arrested but never convicted of a crime.Immigration attorneys and local officials say similar concerns have surfaced in other cities where ICE has conducted enforcement surges and many of those targeted lacked criminal records. One case highlighted by ICE that involves serious felony offenses and criminal convictions is that of Sudan native Dominic Ali. ICE said Ali was convicted of false imprisonment, aggravated assault, assault, obstructing justice and violating a protective order.Court records show Ali was convicted in 2004 of violating a protective order and in 2008 of second-degree assault, false imprisonment and obstructing the reporting of a crime. In the latter case, prosecutors said he threw his girlfriend to the floor of her New Hampshire apartment, kicked her and broke her collarbone.Immigration47 minutes agoThe Minneapolis protester fatally shot by a federal officer was ICU nurse Alex Pretti, his parents sayImmigration17 hours agoDeported migrants describe perilous journey to southern MexicoImmigration5 hours agoWhat Trump officials and immigration lawyers say about ICE detaining a 5-year-old“His conduct amounted to nothing less than torture,” Judge James Barry said in 2009 before sentencing Ali to five to 10 years in prison.Ali was later paroled to ICE custody, and in 2013 an immigration judge ordered his removal. No further information was available from the Executive Office for Immigration Review, and it remains unclear what happened after that order.Other cases were more nuanced, like that of Elmara Correia, an Angola native whom ICE highlighted in its public promotion of the operation, saying she was “arrested previously for endangering the welfare of a child.” Maine court records show someone with that name was charged in 2023 with violating a law related to learner’s permits for new drivers, a case that was later dismissed.Correia filed a petition Wednesday challenging her detention, and a judge issued a temporary emergency order barring authorities from transferring her from Massachusetts, where she is being held. Her attorney said she entered the United States legally on a student visa about eight years ago and has never been subject to expedited removal proceedings.“Was she found not guilty, or are we just going to be satisfied that she was arrested?” Portland Mayor Mark Dion said during a news conference in which he raised concerns that ICE failed to distinguish between arrests and convictions or explain whether sentences were served. Dion also pointed to another person named in the release: Dany Lopez-Cortez, whom ICE said is a “criminal illegal alien” from Guatemala who was convicted of operating under the influence.ICE highlighted Lopez-Cortez’s case among a small group of examples it said reflected the types of arrests made during the operation. Dion questioned whether an operating-under-the-influence conviction, a serious offense but one commonly seen in Maine, should rise to the level of ICE’s “worst of the worst” public narrative.Boston immigration attorney Caitlyn Burgess said her office filed habeas petitions Thursday on behalf of four clients who were detained in Maine and transferred to Massachusetts.The most serious charge any of them faced was driving without a license, Burgess said, and all had pending immigration court cases or applications.“Habeas petitions are often the only tool available to stop rapid transfers that sever access to counsel and disrupt pending immigration proceedings,” she said.Attorney Samantha McHugh said she filed five habeas petitions on behalf of Maine detainees Thursday and expected to file three more soon. “None of these individuals have any criminal record,” said McHugh, who is representing a total of eight detainees. “They were simply at work, eating lunch, when unmarked vehicles arrived and immigration agents trespassed on private property to detain them.”Federal court records show that immigration cases involving criminal convictions can remain unresolved or be revisited years later.Another whose mug shot was included in materials on “the worst of the worst” of those detained in Maine is Ambessa Berhe.Berhe was convicted of cocaine possession and assaulting a police officer in 1996 and cocaine possession in 2003. In 2006 a federal appeals court in Boston vacated a removal order for him and sent the case back to the Board of Immigration Appeals for further consideration.According to the ruling, Berhe was born in Ethiopia and later taken to Sudan by his adoptive parents. The family was admitted to the United States as refugees in 1987, when he was about 9. ICE has said the operation is targeting about 1,400 immigrants in a state of about 1.4 million people, roughly 4% of whom are foreign-born.___Associated Press journalist Rodrique Ngowi contributed.
