From the New York Times, it's the headlines. I'm Tracy Mumford. Today's Friday, December 5th. Here's what we're covering.

The Times has gotten access to newly available government data on hundreds of thousands of immigration arrests carried out by the Trump administration and found that most of the immigrants who've been arrested during crackdowns in major cities had no criminal record.

The findings stand in contrast to how the administration has framed its aggressive operations that have targeted cities like LA, Chicago, and DC.

Trump officials have repeatedly said the crackdown is crucial for apprehending dangerous people.

The records The Times reviewed though, which cover every ICE arrest through mid-occtober, show that only about 7% of people arrested in those major operations had violent convictions.

Of the people who had non-violent convictions, the most common were for driving under the influence and other traffic offenses.

Overall, the share of immigrants with criminal records that ICE has arrested under the Trump administration is considerably lower than it was under the Biden administration.

That could be in part because Trump officials have been casting a much wider net, arresting people at Home Depot and schools, at airports and green card interviews.

Notably, the data shows that earlier this year, when the Supreme Court gave the green light for immigration officers to use race and ethnicity as factors in who they can stop and question, the arrests of people without a criminal history jumped.

In response to questions from the Times, a spokeswoman for the Department of Homeland Security reiterated that the government is targeting quote the worst of the worst and pointed to the fact that beyond those who've had criminal convictions, many others who've been arrested have pending criminal charges.

Meanwhile, the Times has been covering how the stepped up immigration enforcement is sending shock waves through communities across the country.

In New York City, there's been outrage from elected officials after a six-year-old boy was separated from his father when the two were arrested during a scheduled immigration hearing last week.

Their case is apparently part of a tactic the administration is using to pressure undocumented immigrants to leave the US by taking children from their parents if they refuse to cooperate.

At the same time in Minneapolis, the mayor says, quote, "People are incredibly scared as the administration launches a new effort to detain Somali immigrants there."

He said he's been getting questions from people about whether it's safe to go to the grocery store or to drop their kids off at school.

And in New Orleans, where federal agents have also started another crackdown, my colleagues talked with immigrants who are afraid of getting caught up in it, including the owners of a Mexican restaurant who now roll out mattresses on the floor at closing time and sleep there so they don't risk getting pulled over on the drive home.

Now, a few more updates on the Trump administration. President Trump's push for red states to redraw their congressional maps so that the GOP can potentially pick up more seats in the midterms, scored a legal victory yesterday.

The redrawn maps for Texas, which favor Republicans, had been blocked by a federal court after civil rights groups challenged them.

But the Supreme Court has now overturned that in response to an emergency application from Texas lawmakers.

That clears the way for the state to use those maps in next year's elections.

Also at the capital, lawmakers were shown video of one of the US strikes on an alleged drug smuggling boat in the Caribbean amid questions about whether that strike and the many that have followed are legal.

Representative Jim Heims and other Democrats said they were alarmed after watching footage from early September of the military killing two survivors who were in the water after an initial US strike.

The Pentagon's Law of War manual prohibits firing on those who are shipwrecked.

But the admiral who ordered the strike is said to have told lawmakers it was lawful because the purported risk of cocaine might have remained with part of the boat still afloat. And the survivors could have been communicating with another boat, though the video doesn't appear to show that happening.

Some Republicans, meanwhile, said they supported the attack after viewing the footage, with Senator Tom Cotton saying it was quote, "exactly what we'd expect our military commanders to do."

The FBI announced that they've arrested a suspect in a case that's presented a yearslong mystery and sparked rampant conspiracy theories. the question of who planted two pipe bombs in DC the night before the January 6th attack on the capital.

Officials said they've now charged Brian Cole Jr., a 30-year-old man from Virginia, with putting explosives outside the national headquarters of the Republican and Democratic parties.

Neither device exploded, but their discovery added fear and confusion to a day when a proTrump mob stormed the halls of Congress.

Some of the conspiracy theories, including those spread by Dan Bonino, the former right-wing podcaster who is now number two at the FBI, claimed it was an inside job.

For the moment, investigators have not been able to determine the intent behind the bombs or why the suspect targeted both political parties.

In Ukraine, when Russia first launched its full-scale invasion in 2022, the US and many Western countries rushed to offer billions of dollars of military and financial support.

Given Ukraine's long history of government corruption, they did that with a crucial stipulation. They said there would have to be careful oversight of how that money was managed to prevent it from disappearing into the pockets of corrupt officials.

But a new investigation from the Times has found that the Ukrainian government has systematically sabotaged the oversight system that its allies demanded.

In documents and in interviews with about 20 officials, the Times found evidence that President Vladimir Zilinski's administration stripped away guard rails by stacking oversight boards with loyalists or leaving them empty altogether.

That paved the way for situations like the one in which members of Zilinski's own inner circle have recently been accused of siphoning off a hund00 million dollars from a state-owned nuclear power company.

The scandal is currently roing Zalinski's government since the president ran on a platform of fighting corruption.

An adviser to Zalinski declined to comment.

Amid Ukraine's ongoing corruption issues, European leaders have privately criticized how the country has failed to reign in the problem, but have continued to send resources.

One Norwegian official told the Times, quote, "We do care about good governance, but we have to accept that risk because it's war."

Adding, "Ukraine is defending Europe from Russian attacks."

And finally, last night, LeBron James whipped a pass over to one of his teammates, who then sank a buzzer beater of a three-pointer.

For the Lakers, it was a victory. But for James, the game marked an end to one of the wildest streaks in sports history.

In every single regular season game that James has played in since 2007, he has scored at least 10 points.

That streak lasted for nearly 1300 games until last night when he only got eight points.

Immediately afterwards, people asked him, "Why did you pass? Why not take a shot yourself and try and keep the streak alive?"

James said he was just making the right play for the team.

The chance of anyone topping James' record anytime soon seems incredibly unlikely.

Kevin Durant's got a streak of his own going. But to beat James, he would have to keep playing until he's almost 50 years old.

Now for the quiz. We have a few questions for you about stories the Times has been covering this week. Can you get them all?

First up, the list of companies challenging the Trump administration over its sweeping tariffs is growing.

Recently, another major American retailer jumped in with a lawsuit, becoming one of the biggest businesses yet to try and fight the sir charges.

Can you name that company?

Based off these online reviews of products it sells.

The answer maybe the one place where you can buy a $150 hot dog and a gold bar. Costco, the retail giant, and the other companies are all hoping that the Supreme Court will rule against Trump's tariffs, which it could do any day now.

Costco, the retail giant, and the other companies are all hoping that the Supreme Court will rule against Trump's tariffs, which it could do any day now.

If it does, the administration could be forced to refund billions of dollars in tariff revenue.

Okay, next question. This week, the team behind the Oxford English Dictionary unveiled their 2025 word of the year.

I'm going to give you multiple options here. Which one was it? If you are feeling exhausted or drained all the time, biohack your life with these simple steps.

Biohack, trying to use DIY science hacks to optimize your health.

New rage bait method just dropped. Here it is.

Rage bait. Something intended to just absolutely infuriate you.

Or aura farming. This kid has so much aura that even celebrities are trying to farm some of it.

The answer, rage bait. According to Oxford's data, its use has spiked three-fold this year.

Last year's word was, in case you forgot, brain rot, which yeah, that definitely happened.

Last question here. The celebrated playwright and screenwriter Tom Stoppper died recently.

His name is nowhere on some of his most famous projects because he worked as a script doctor.

That means he was brought in and paid a ton of money to punch things up with no formal credit.

So your question, can you name these three big movies he worked on behind the scenes based off just short clips?

That was Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.

That was Schindler's List. Stard worked a lot with Steven Spielberg.

That is Beethoven, the movie about the gigantic St. Bernard because Stoppard had range.

While getting secretly rewritten could ruffle some feathers, one of the screenwriters whose project he hopped onto told the Guardian once, "If you're going to be rewritten by anybody, stopards the one."
