Navy Sailor Sentenced To 16+ Years For Selling Secrets To China

A former U.S. Navy sailor was sentenced Monday to more than 16 years in prison for providing sensitive technical manuals and information on Navy ships to a Chinese intelligence officer. Jinchao Wei, 25, shared photos, videos, and operating manuals for the USS Essex and other vessels, receiving over $12,000 for the information. Prosecutors said Wei ignored warnings from friends and used encrypted messaging apps to continue his illegal dealings.

China Urges Canada To Distance Itself from U.S.

As Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney arrives in China, Beijing is encouraging Ottawa to adopt a foreign policy less dependent on the United States. Chinese state media says recent U.S. tariffs and military actions have created an opening for Canada to pursue “strategic autonomy” in its international relations. Carney has framed the trip as an effort to diversify Canada’s trade partnerships and reduce economic reliance on the American market. While China seeks closer ties, officials caution that Canada’s geographic and historical ties to the U.S. will limit how far the relationship can shift.

Congress Members Seek Emergency Hearing After Being Blocked From ICE Facility

Attorneys for three Democratic members of Congress have asked a federal judge for an emergency hearing after they were blocked from visiting an Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility near Minneapolis over the weekend. The lawmakers — Reps. Ilhan Omar, Kelly Morrison and Angie Craig — were initially allowed inside the facility but were told to leave shortly afterward, attorneys say. The filing, made Monday in U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., seeks a hearing before Wednesday and argues the Trump administration reinstated a policy requiring advance notice for congressional visits just one day after an ICE officer fatally shot a Minnesota woman. That policy was previously barred by a judge in December for exceeding the Department of Homeland Security’s authority and violating federal law governing access to detention facilities. Lawyers for the lawmakers say the matter is urgent because members of Congress are negotiating funding for DHS and ICE for the upcoming fiscal year and need unimpeded access to conduct oversight. Judge Jia Cobb temporarily blocked the earlier restrictions in December, ruling that requiring notice likely violates statutory protections for congressional oversight visits. Government attorneys have not yet responded to the emergency hearing request. The legal dispute adds to tensions over federal immigration enforcement in Minnesota following the fatal shooting and ongoing protests.

Trump visits Michigan to promote manufacturing push

President Donald Trump is traveling to Michigan on Tuesday to highlight his efforts to strengthen U.S. manufacturing and defend his economic record. The trip includes a visit to a Ford factory in Dearborn that produces F-150 pickup trucks and a speech at the Detroit Economic Club at MotorCity Casino. The White House says the visit is aimed at addressing public concerns about a weakening job market and rising prices. Trump’s administration has touted tariffs and other measures to protect American industry while cutting some levies on imported auto parts to encourage domestic production. Michigan, which Trump won in 2016 and 2024, has been a key focus for his economic messaging. Democrats have criticized the visit, arguing it highlights the challenges working families face under Trump’s economic policies.

Inspector General Launches Investigation Into D.C. Police Crime Data Reporting

Washington’s Inspector General has opened an investigation into the Metropolitan Police Department’s crime data reporting system. The probe will examine how the department collects, classifies, and reports crime statistics in the city. The inquiry follows a House Oversight Committee report that found former Police Chief Pamela Smith pressured commanders to manipulate data to lower reported crime rates. A separate investigation by U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro also identified misclassified reports. Smith disputes claims that crime statistics were manipulated during her tenure. Interim Police Chief Jeffery Carroll said the department is taking steps to address the issues, including improving officer training and creating an audit team to review reports.

Trump puts 25% US tariffs on Iran’s trade partners to pressure Tehran

President Donald Trump says Iran’s trade partners will face 25% tariffs from the United States as he looks to pressure Tehran over its violent protest crackdown that’s left nearly 600 dead across the country. The U.S. president has repeatedly threatened Tehran with U.S. military action, if his administration found the Islamic Republic was using deadly force against antigovernment protesters. It’s a redline that Trump says he believes Iran is “starting to cross” and has left him and his national security team weighing “very strong options.” Trump announced the tariffs in a social media posting Monday, saying they would be “effective immediately.” China, Brazil, Turkey and Russia are among economies that do business with Tehran.

Sen. Mark Kelly Sues Pentagon Over Punishment For Warning Troops Of Illegal Orders

Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly of Arizona has sued the Pentagon over attempts to punish him for warning about illegal orders. The former Navy pilot is trying to block his censure from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. Hegseth announced last Monday that he censured Kelly for participating in a video urging troops to resist unlawful orders. Kelly's lawsuit argues that the First Amendment forbids punishing disfavored expression or retaliating against protected speech. Hegseth said the censure is a formal letter with little practical consequence but is a necessary step in proceedings that could lead to Kelly’s demotion.
