The Trump administration is expanding the use of fast-track deportation powers nationwide. Immigration officers will be able to deport migrants without appearing before a judge. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, confirms agents arrested 538 people overnight.

And Trump is already claiming success. We're getting the bad, hard criminals out. These are murderers. These are people that have been as bad as you get, as bad as anybody you've seen. We're taking them out first. The mayor of Newark, New Jersey, Roz Baraka, says a business in his city was raided without a warrant.

There were three people who they say were undocumented that they detained but they also detained folks that were in fact citizens of this country.

Doug Ford says he's the best choice to defend Ontario and Canada against U.S. President Donald Trump compared to his Liberal and New Democrat rivals. Imagine Bonnie Crombie or Merritt Stiles sitting

across from President Trump negotiating a deal. Ontario Liberal leader Crombie says Ford's early election call is aimed at getting ahead of an RCMP investigation into connected developers who wanted to buy protected lands. They're closing in on what happened in that eight billion dollar green belt scandal. But Ford says he needs a strong mandate to defend Ontario's economy against US tariffs. New Democrat Merit Stiles says it's already the Premier's job. It is the mandate of a government to do that. You don't need another mandate.

Ford says he'll make it official next week, sending Ontarians to the polls on February 27th. Fulton Shanoch, CBC News, Toronto.

That whole day there was snow there and people, dead people were all over the place. I saw one of my uncles. Now 95, Moskovich was just 14 when he was brought to the death camp from then Czechoslovakia. My mom went straight to the gas chamber of course, which we didn't know. Six million Jews were murdered during the Holocaust. Approximately half a million of them at the notorious death camp.

And on the day of liberation, there were just 7,000 survivors. As the remaining survivors die and pass on into history, the stories they leave behind are all the more important.
