Trump threatens to deploy ICE to airports if DHS shutdown doesn’t end

U.S. President Donald Trump speaks to the media as he departs the White House for Florida, in Washington, D.C., U.S., March 20, 2026. Nathan Howard | Reuters President Donald Trump on ​Saturday ​threatened ​to send federal ⁠immigration agents ‌to U.S. ⁠airports unless congressional Democrats immediately ‌agree to fund the Department of Homeland Security. “I will move our ⁠brilliant and ‌patriotic ‌ICE Agents to the Airports ⁠where they will ⁠do ⁠Security like no one ​has ‌ever seen before,” Trump wrote in ​a Truth Social post. The Trump administration has faced heavy criticism for aggressive deportation tactics by Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Border Patrol agents. Trump claimed ICE agents handling airport security would arrest immigrants who are in the U.S. illegally, specifically targeting individuals from Somalia. In a separate post later in the day, Trump said he plans to move ICE agents into airports as soon as Monday, telling them to “GET READY.” “I look forward to moving ICE in on Monday, and have already told them to, ‘GET READY.’ NO MORE WAITING, NO MORE GAMES!” he wrote. When asked for comment, the White House …

Skild AI, Nvidia deploy robot brain on Blackwell assembly lines

Skild AI, Nvidia deploy robot brain on Blackwell assembly lines

Published by Sam Flores

March 16 : Skild AI’s artificial intelligence model will power robots manning Foxconn’s assembly lines in Houston, where Nvidia’s Blackwell GPU server racks are built, in what the companies described as an early commercial deployment of generalized physical AI. The startup, backed by Nvidia and SoftBank, said on Monday that it would also partner with ABB Robotics and Universal Robots to embed its software across industrial robots, aiming to supply what it calls a general-purpose “brain”. Skild AI said its generalized AI model addresses a key limitation of current robotics systems, which are typically programmed for a single repetitive task and require extensive engineering to adapt to new processes. “If we partner with robotic OEMs (original equipment manufacturers) that already have hundreds of thousands of robots deployed, it gives us a path to extreme scalability and establishes the data flywheel,” Skild AI CEO Deepak Pathak told Reuters. Partnerships with ABB and Teradyne’s Universal Robots are intended to expand the data available to train the system by integrating the software into robots. The announcements come amid …

NanoClaw and Docker partner to make sandboxes the safest way for enterprises to deploy AI agents

NanoClaw and Docker partner to make sandboxes the safest way for enterprises to deploy AI agents

Published by skeptic

NanoClaw, the open-source AI agent platform created by Gavriel Cohen, is partnering with the containerized development platform Docker to let teams run agents inside Docker Sandboxes, a move aimed at one of the biggest obstacles to enterprise adoption: how to give agents room to act without giving them room to damage the systems around them. The announcement matters because the market for AI agents is shifting from novelty to deployment. It is no longer enough for an agent to write code, answer questions or automate a task. For CIOs, CTOs and platform leaders, the harder question is whether that agent can safely connect to live data, modify files, install packages and operate across business systems without exposing the host machine, adjacent workloads or other agents. That is the problem NanoClaw and Docker say they are solving together. Lazer Cohen and Gavriel Cohen, co-founders of NanoClaw.dev.

Could the US deploy troops to Iran, and how could that play out? | US-Israel war on Iran News

Speculation has been mounting in the United States about whether American soldiers will be deployed on the ground in Iran as the US-Israeli war entered its 12th day on Wednesday. Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal said he was the angriest he had been in his political career after he attended a classified Iran war briefing for the Senate Armed Services Committee on Tuesday. Recommended Stories list of 4 itemsend of list “I emerge from this briefing as dissatisfied and angry, frankly, as I have from any past briefing in my 15 years,” Blumenthal told reporters, adding that he had more questions than answers concerning the US goals. “I am most concerned about the threat to American lives of potentially deploying our sons and daughters on the ground in Iraq. We seem to be on a path toward deploying American troops on the ground in Iran to accomplish any of the potential objectives here.” It was the latest condemnation of the war on Iran by Democrats, who have faced Republican opposition in their attempts to rein in …

EU strategy to rapidly deploy small and advanced modular reactors

EU strategy to rapidly deploy small and advanced modular reactors

Published by skeptic

The EU has outlined plans to deploy small modular reactors (SMRs) and advanced modular reactors (AMRs) by the early 2030s to support climate targets, energy security and industrial growth. The European Commission has presented a new strategy aimed at speeding up the development and deployment of small and advanced modular reactors across the European Union, positioning the technology as a potential pillar of the bloc’s long-term energy system. The plan, published alongside the Commission’s latest Nuclear Illustrative Programme (PINC), outlines how SMRs and AMRs could support Europe’s shift toward climate neutrality while strengthening energy security and industrial capacity. Officials argue that coordinated action between governments, regulators, industry and investors will be essential if the first commercial projects are to come online in the early 2030s. Dan Jørgensen, Commissioner for Energy and Housing, explained: “Small modular reactors are a safe nuclear technology that can contribute to delivering reliable, homegrown decarbonised energy, strengthening industrial competitiveness and reinforcing our energy security. “We are setting a clear pathway for Europe to move from research to concrete projects as soon …

Two reasons it took so long to deploy HMS Dragon – and former Navy commander says ‘neither are good’

Two reasons it took so long to deploy HMS Dragon – and former Navy commander says ‘neither are good’

Published by Sam Flores

HMS Dragon has finally left Portsmouth and is on its way to protect the UK’s airbase in Cyprus from attack. But RAF Akrotiri was hit by a drone more than a week ago – with others intercepted – so why has it taken so long for the ship to set sail? Former Royal Navy commander Tom Sharpe told Sky’s This Is Why podcast that shooting down drones is “bread and butter” for the stealthy Type 45 destroyer. Iran latest: US has destroyed 16 mine-laying boats, says Trump He said there were two key reasons the ship had only just been deployed – and “neither are good”. The first is down to a “30-year decline” in defence spending – a topic in sharp focus since the Ukraine War – which means the Navy’s cupboard is “very bare”. He singled out the period when David Cameron was prime minister. “The strategic defence review in 2010 [and] the Cameron-Osborne austerity review really expedited that decline, and for that period of Tory government no new warships were ordered,” Mr …

The White House released a video on Feb. 28 of President Trump discussing strikes on Iran. The White House/Screenshot by NPR hide caption toggle caption The White House/Screenshot by NPR The Constitution gives Congress alone the power to declare war, but modern presidents have asserted broad authority to use military force. Congress has done little to push back, including last week, when lawmakers voted down a resolution to halt President Trump’s military action against Iran. Democrats have sparred with Republicans and the administration over the legality of the strikes. “We shouldn’t be at war without a debate or vote,” said Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va. “That is what the framers intended.” “We’ve overcomplied with the law and what it requires,” Secretary of State Marco Rubio told reporters after briefing lawmakers last week. “This is an action by the president to address a real threat.” The Constitution says the president is commander in chief. It also says the power to declare war rests with Congress. But making that delineation in practice has proved complicated and contested. To …
