Trump Expands Travel Ban and Restrictions to Include an Additional 20 Countries
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Trump administration has announced an expansion of travel restrictions to include 20 more countries. This move doubles the number of nations affected by previous limits on travel and immigration to the U.S. The administration cites national security concerns, including the arrest of an Afghan national suspect, as reasons for the expansion, among others. Critics argue it unfairly targets a broad range of countries. The restrictions exempt those with visas, lawful permanent residents, and certain visa categories. It’s unclear when these new restrictions will take effect. The expansion includes full bans and partial restrictions on various countries.

Trump Orders Blockade of ‘Sanctioned Oil Tankers’ Into Venezuela, Ramping Up Pressure on Maduro
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump says he is ordering a blockade of all “sanctioned oil tankers” into Venezuela, ramping up pressure on the country’s authoritarian leader NicolౠMaduro. The moves comes after U.S. forces last week seized an oil tanker off Venezuela’s coast, an unusual move that followed a buildup of military forces in the region. In a post on social media Tuesday night announcing the blockade, Trump alleged Venezuela was using oil to fund drug trafficking and other crimes. The buildup has been accompanied by a series of military strikes on boats in international waters in the Caribbean and eastern Pacific.

Investigators Release Video Timeline of the Brown Campus Shooting Suspect’s Movements
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — Authorities have released a new video timeline and a slightly clearer image of the man suspected in the Brown University shooting. They provided no indication Tuesday that they were any closer to zeroing in on his identity. Investigators have been canvassing Providence homes, yards and dumpsters in search of videos or other clues. Saturday’s campus shooting killed two students and wounded nine others. In all of the videos made public, the suspect’s face was masked or turned away. Authorities have only been able to give a vague description of him. In the new video timeline, footage shows the man running along quiet streets before the attack.

Hegseth Says He Won’t Publicly Release Video of Boat Strike That Killed Survivors in the Caribbean
WASHINGTON (AP) — Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth says the Pentagon will not publicly release unedited video of a strike that killed two survivors of an initial attack on a boat allegedly carrying cocaine in the Caribbean. Hegseth said that members of the Armed Services committees in the House and Senate would have an opportunity this week to review the video. But he did not say whether all members of Congress would be allowed to see it as well. President Donald Trump’s Cabinet members overseeing national security were on Capitol Hill on Tuesday to defend the swift escalation of U.S. military forces and deadly boat strikes in international waters near Venezuela.

Border Patrol Official Who is the Face of Trump’s Crackdown Back in Chicago Amid Immigration Raids
CHICAGO (AP) — Senior Border Patrol official Greg Bovino has returned to the Chicago area, about a month after leaving to lead immigration crackdowns in other cities. Bovino initially arrived in the Chicago area in September amid Operation Midway Blitz, which netted thousands of arrests and fueled fear among immigrant communities. The operation has become known for its aggressive tactics. As the face of the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown, Bovino was photographed Tuesday in a predominantly Mexican American neighborhood as activists blew whistles and shouted. Before, when Bovino left Chicago in November, immigration operations continued but were noticeably subdued with fewer tense confrontations.

House Speaker Johnson Rebuffs Efforts to Extend Health Care Subsidies, Pushing Ahead With Gop Plan
WASHINGTON (AP) — House Republican leaders are determined to push ahead with a health care bill that excludes efforts to address the soaring monthly premiums for Affordable Care Act recipients. The enhanced tax credits for people who buy insurance through the Affordable Care Act are set to expire at year’s end. Speaker Mike Johnson had discussed allowing more politically vulnerable Republicans lawmakers a chance to vote on their plan that would temporarily extend the pandemic-era subsidies. But leadership ultimately sided with conservatives who assailed the subsidies as propping up Obamacare. The outcome all but guarantees that many Americans will see substantially higher insurance costs in 2026.

Zelenskyy Says Proposals to End the War in Ukraine Could Be Presented to Russia Within Days
KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says peace proposals for U.S. officials to present to Russia could be finalized within days. He said late Monday a draft peace plan discussed in Berlin with American and European officials is “very workable.” But issues like the status of Ukrainian territory occupied by Russia remain unresolved. U.S.-led peace efforts are gaining momentum. But Russian President Vladimir Putin may resist some proposals including security guarantees for Ukraine. Zelenskyy reiterated that Kyiv won’t recognize Moscow’s control over any part of the Donbas. Ukraine expects increased Western pressure on Moscow including tougher sanctions and military support if diplomacy fails. Zelenskky is visiting the Netherlands on Tuesday.
