Incoming border tzar and former director of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Tom Homan will lead the “zero tolerance” efforts for illegal migration. Legal immigrants are safe, despite the media’s claims. When asked if it were possible to carry out deportation efforts without separating families, Homan replied: “Of course there is.

Eurasian reed warblers migrate between Europe and AfricaAGAMI Photo Agency / Alamy Stock Many migratory birds use Earth’s magnetic field as a compass, but some can also use information from that field to determine more or less where they are on a mental map. Eurasian reed warblers (Acrocephalus scirpaceus) appear to calculate their geographical position by drawing data from different distances and angles between magnetic fields and the Earth’s shape. The findings suggest that the birds use magnetic information as a sort of “GPS” that tells them not only where to go, but where they are initially, says Richard Holland…
