SUMMARY: A Texas truck driver, Homero Zamorano Jr., pleaded guilty to charges related to the deaths of 53 migrants in a fatal smuggling attempt in 2022.

The victims included migrants from Mexico, Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador, many of whom paid up to $15,000 for transportation. Alongside Zamorano, another driver, Christian Martinez, and four Mexican nationals were also charged, with additional suspects linked to the operation facing extradition from Guatemala.

Get ready for an even bigger chill. Siberian air to make Trump swearing-in coldest in 40 years
SUMMARY: A polar vortex disruption is spreading frigid Arctic air across much of the U.S., leading to extreme cold expected to last several days. Meteorologists predict this could result in the coldest temperatures at Donald Trump’s second inauguration in 40 years, with Washington, D.C. forecasted to see around 22°F (-6°C). Up to 280 million Americans may experience colder conditions than Anchorage, Alaska, with single-digit wind chills on the National Mall. The cold outbreak could break records in various cities, extending as far as the Gulf Coast and potentially lasting through January. These polar vortex events are increasingly linked to climate change.
