ICE chief counsel in Minnesota retires amid growing number of immigration cases

(CNN) — The top lawyer for Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Minnesota has left the agency, the same week an ICE attorney was removed after telling a district judge that “this job sucks” and that the Trump administration is “overwhelmed” with immigration cases.

Chief Counsel Jim Stolley retired after 31 years of service, Department of Homeland Security spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin told CNN. McLaughlin said Stolley’s retirement was scheduled to occur but did not provide additional details.

Stolley said in an automatic email response, “I have retired from public service,” and directed inquiries to the duty attorney. CNN also reached out to Stolley by phone but has not heard back.

The New York Times was first to report on Stolley leaving his post.

Minnesota courts have been inundated with immigration cases since the Trump administration began surging immigration enforcement to the state in December.

Earlier this week, ICE attorney Julie Le, who was detailed to Minnesota to help handle the immigration operation, was removed from her post after telling a judge that the job “sucks” because of the crushing workload and the government’s apparent inability to comply with court orders.

In an extraordinarily candid exchange with a federal judge on Tuesday, Le, who had been asked to explain why the administration was not promptly complying with a slew of court orders stemming from immigration cases she’s handling, admitted that the government did not have enough lawyers on the ground to keep up and that trying to get errors fixed is like “pulling teeth.”

Le’s comments – before Stolley’s resignation – offered a candid look at the immigration operation in Minnesota, which the Trump administration announced Wednesday would be reduced, including a withdrawal of 700 federal law enforcement personnel from the state “effective immediately.”

President Donald Trump similarly signaled less aggressive tactics in the immigration enforcement blitz, telling NBC News on the same day as the drawdown announcement, “Maybe we can use a little bit of a softer touch, but you still have to be tough.”

Last month, two US citizens were shot by federal law enforcement agents in Minnesota, sparking extensive protests. The Trump administration’s crackdown in Minnesota has also faced pushback from state and local officials, who failed to convince a federal judge in Minneapolis to temporarily block the operation.

El editor y CEO del Washington Post, Will Lewis, renuncia días después de que despidos masivos golpearan al periódico

El editor y CEO del Washington Post, Will Lewis, renunció, apenas días después de que el periódico despidiera a un tercio de su redacción.

“Después de dos años de transformación en The Washington Post, ahora es el momento adecuado para dar un paso al costado”, escribió Lewis la tarde de este sábado en una breve nota al personal. “Quiero agradecer a Jeff Bezos por su apoyo y liderazgo durante mi tiempo como CEO y editor. La institución no podría tener un mejor propietario”.

“Durante mi gestión, se han tomado decisiones difíciles para asegurar el futuro sostenible de The Post, de modo que por muchos años más pueda publicar noticias imparciales de alta calidad para millones de clientes cada día”, concluyó la nota de Lewis.

The Post informó que el director financiero Jeff D’Onofrio, ex-CEO de Tumblr que se unió al Post en junio, asumirá como editor y CEO interino, “con efecto inmediato”.

D’Onofrio escribió en un memorando al personal este sábado que se siente “honrado de tomar el timón como editor y CEO interino para guiarnos hacia un futuro sostenible y exitoso con la fortaleza de nuestro periodismo como nuestra guía”.

El inusual anuncio no mencionó que Lewis permaneciera en ningún cargo para apoyar la transición, lo que sugiere un cambio muy repentino.

Lewis había perdido la confianza de la redacción del Post hace tiempo, y durante los despidos de esta semana, algunos empleados dijeron que la situación se había vuelto cada vez más insostenible.

El personal del Post no había visto ni escuchado a Lewis durante o después de los despidos del miércoles, pero fue visto el jueves caminando por la alfombra roja en un deslumbrante evento previo al Super Bowl, lo que avivó aún más la indignación en la redacción.

Is India about to make Ozempic-like weight-loss drugs a whole lot cheaper?

By Ayushi Shah, CNN

Mumbai, India (CNN) — On any given morning in Mumbai’s Shivaji Park, power-walkers circle the running track, fitness watches buzzing with every step. Minutes later, some drift toward nearby food stalls, where oil sizzles and hot samosas and syrupy jalebis land on paper plates. It’s a snapshot of India’s uneasy relationship with health and indulgence – and the backdrop to a fast-growing medical and commercial frenzy.

That frenzy is over the imminent expiry of a patent protecting semaglutide, a protein that mimics a hormone telling your brain that you’re not hungry. It’s a key ingredient in Novo Nordisk’s wildly popular injectable weight-loss drug Ozempic.

Novo Nordisk’s India patent will expire in March. And the country’s colossal pharma production industry is gearing up to take advantage by selling generic versions.

Analysts there predict a price war that could drive the cost of some weight-loss drugs down by as much as 90 percent in India – and possibly in other countries too. Jefferies, the investment bank, describes it as a “magic pill moment” for India, projecting that the semaglutide market could grow to $1 billion.

“We are fully prepared and geared up,” Namit Joshi, chairman of the government’s Pharmaceuticals Export Promotion Council of India (Pharmexcil), told CNN. “There will be a bombardment of this product the moment the patent expires.”

Just as India – known as the “pharmacy of the world” – helped make HIV drugs cheaper and more widely available decades ago, analysts say it could become the key, low-cost supplier of a new global health revolution against obesity.

The shift could also be transformative for India, currently the world’s diabetes capital and among the fastest-growing markets on the planet for anti-obesity treatments and drugs. By 2050, 450 million adults in India are projected to be overweight, according to an estimate in medical journal The Lancet.

Semaglutide mimics a hormone that regulates appetite and blood sugar – essentially, it tells your brain you’re full. It’s the core part of popular commercially available anti-obesity drugs like Ozempic, which is often sold pre-loaded into a syringe that patients self-inject with.

It’s a method India’s pharma giants are confident they can replicate, come March.

At least 10 Indian firms, including Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories, Cipla, and OneSource Specialty Pharma have started processes to manufacture semaglutide weight-loss drugs, according to documents reviewed by CNN.

OneSource says it is investing nearly $100 million as part of plans to ramp up production capacity by five times over the next 18 to 24 months, particularly for drug-device combination products – things like syringes prepped with weight-loss drugs, including semaglutide.

Another Indian company, Biocon, told CNN it has commissioned an injectables facility in the city of Bengaluru, designed to serve both domestic and international markets, with a total investment of around $100 million.

The firm is hoping to launch the products in 2027, CEO Siddharth Mittal added, and has plans to export to Brazil and Canada.

Rival firm Dr. Reddy’s told Reuters it plans to launch the generic version of semaglutide in 87 countries, including India, next year. Its CEO Erez Israeli said he expects the generic drug to generate “hundreds of millions of dollars” in sales for the company.

Pharmexcil’s Joshi believes the average price of a monthly dose in India could fall to $77 within a year after the patent’s expiry, and eventually to around $40.

That kind of pricing wont be seen on US shelves anytime soon – Ozempic’s US patent doesn’t expire until the 2030s.

Ohio man charged with Vance death threat amid rising US political violence

(CNN) — A federal grand jury indicted a 33-year-old Ohio man on Friday with threatening to kill Vice President JD Vance with an automatic weapon, the Justice Department said in a news release, as the US grapples with rising political violence and threats.

Shannon Mathre of Toledo is accused of saying, “I am going to find out where he (the vice president) is going to be and use my M14 automatic gun and kill him” on or around January 21, according to the indictment.

The indictment further alleges Mathre distributed child sexual abuse materials.

“While arresting this man for allegedly threatening to murder the Vice President of the United States, a serious crime in and of itself, federal law enforcement discovered that he was also in possession of child sexual abuse materials,” Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche posted to X on Saturday.

Attorney General Pam Bondi also said in a statement, “Our attorneys are vigorously prosecuting this disgusting threat against Vice President Vance.”

Neil S. McElroy, an attorney representing Mathre, called the count threatening Vance’s life “a farce.”

“While the charge against Mr. Mathre may buttress the administration’s narrative regarding threats of violence aimed at members of the administration, this particular charge — as it relates to Mr. Mathre and his conduct — is a farce,” he said in a statement to CNN.

Mathre said he cannot comment on the second count of the indictment regarding child sexual abuse materials, “as the government has not provided any” documents associated with the charge.

The vice president’s office referred CNN to the US Secret Service for comment.

The Secret Service said in a statement to CNN that “the investigation included not only what the defendant said online and to people, but also his actions and behavior,” adding that it has “been following this for several months with our partners at the FBI and in Ohio.”

“As a society, we must remain united in our zero tolerance for political violence. This individual will now answer for his actions to a federal court,” Secret Service spokesperson Anthony Guglielmi said.

Mathre faces a maximum five-year penalty and a fine of $250,000 for threatening to kill Vance. Additionally, he faces a maximum 20-year prison sentence for the child sexual abuse materials charge and a $250,000 fine, if he is found guilty.

Mathre remains in custody and has a detention hearing Wednesday, the Justice Department said.

The charges come as other Trump administration officials have faced threats in recent months and as managing the fear of violence has become a central feature of politics.

Just last month, authorities detained a man “for causing property damage, including breaking windows” at Vance’s home in Cincinnati.

Earlier this week, authorities arrested a man for attempted murder after allegedly targeting Office of Management and Budget Director Russ Vought at his home, and the Justice Department in December charged a man with allegedly sending a threatening text message to presidential envoy and Kennedy Center President Richard Grenell.

Recent acts of political violence have reignited the lo
