A federal judge in Minnesota ruled last Saturday that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents violated the Fourth Amendment after they forcibly entered a Minnesota man’s home without a judicial warrant. The conduct of the agents closely mirrors a previously undisclosed ICE directive that claims agents are permitted to enter people’s homes using an administrative warrant, rather than a warrant signed by a judge.The ruling, issued by US District Court judge Jeffrey Bryan in response to a petition for a writ of habeas corpus on January 17, did not assess the legality of ICE’s internal guidance itself. But it squarely…

Getty Images Alexander Volkanovski and Diego Lopes run it back. It’s a busy month on Paramount+ with consecutive weeks of numbered events. UFC 325 takes place in Sydney on Jan. 31, a week after the incredible scenes from UFC 324 in Las Vegas.Volkanovski, the UFC featherweight champion, has deja vu. While he had pictured a fight against Movsar Evloev or Lerone Murphy, Volkanovski instead fights Lopes for the second time in a row. Volkanovski shushed retirement rumors, but conceded that he’s closer to the finish line than the start. Already one of the best featherweights in history, Volkanovski is determined…

Delroy Lindo, finally an Academy Award-nominated actor, only had to wait five decades to earn the honor — overcoming “strategic missteps” that once threatened to derail his career along the way, he’s said.Lindo, 73, is a longtime character actor whose appearances on film, television and stage have earned him critical acclaim, even as his industry’s highest honors eluded him. On Thursday, Lindo earned his first Oscar nomination, in the Best Supporting Actor category, for his work in the 2025 blockbuster “Sinners.” The nomination comes five years after some of the actor’s supporters complained that he’d been “snubbed” by the Academy of…

If that all sounds familiar, it’s because Gemini already offered the option to hook into your Workspace apps. But it required more work on the user’s part — I always found I needed to explicitly ask it to check something in my email or on my calendar if I wanted it to use those as sources. Now, if the prompt seems like it merits a trip to your inbox to look for an email about a concert ticket, it will do so of its own accord. That’s kind of huge. If you have to be specific with every single prompt…

Hi, friends! Welcome to Installer No. 113, your guide to the best and Verge-iest stuff in the world. (If you’re new here, welcome, please send hot cocoa to my freezing-cold house, and also you can read all the old editions at the Installer homepage.)This week, I’ve been reading about private garbage collectors and vintage watches and My Favorite Murder, watching The Running Man (which was not great) and Sinners (which was extremely great), giving my Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses another whirl, nostalgia-tripping my way through The Format’s new album, sitting in the audience for the first Star Search on Netflix,…

An anonymously-sourced story in the Wall Street Journal contains the following claim: “The European Union’s executive arm is currently working on new legislation aimed at promoting tech sovereignty, according to officials familiar with the matter.“  When a major news publication anonymously posts claims about an event that has not yet happened—in this case a law propping up tech companies in the E.U.—it’s appropriate to wonder why. After all, there might be commercial interests that want this somewhat limp threat published beforehand for purely cynical or self-serving reasons. But that doesn’t make the claim not worth contemplating.Citing “officials and lawmakers,” the…

The reason turned out to be what many were speculating.UFC CEO Dana White confirmed to reporters late Saturday night that the lightweight bout Michael Johnson and Alex Hernandez was canceled due to a report of betting irregularities.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisement”We got called from the gaming integrity service and I said, ‘I’m not doing this s*** again,’ so we pulled the fight,” White said.It’s unclear what the irregularities were or who is suspected of misconduct. Still, it’s a familiar story for the UFC.As White…

The 44-mm Big Bang Tourbillon GOAT Edition’s case is a special Hublot-developed composite made from Lacoste polos and Head tennis racquets (yes, really), reinforced by a mid-case of Titaplast (the world’s strongest polymer). Then there’s a three-dimensional main plate that looks like racquet strings, as well as a tennis-ball-shaped power reserve barrel. We’re not done yet! The white leather strap is supposed to mimic a racquet grip, and finally the watch comes in three colors—blue, orange, and green—to call out grass, clay and hard court surfaces.
