A federal judge on Wednesday barred the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) from carrying out warrantless immigration arrests in Oregon without individualized assessments of flight risk, finding that federal agents likely violated the law through a pattern of unlawful arrests.

U.S. District Judge Mustafa Kasubhai granted a preliminary injunction in a proposed class-action lawsuit against DHS and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) as the case moves forward.

The court concluded that agents routinely arrested people for alleged immigration violations without warrants and without determining whether they were likely to flee before a warrant could be obtained.

Kasubhai ordered the government to notify immigration officers, employees, agents, and contractors of the ruling and to document and regularly report any future warrantless arrests, including detailed, case-specific justifications.

DHS did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.

The Associated Press reported that Kasubhai was presented with evidence showing immigration agents in Oregon carried out enforcement operations in which people were arrested without warrants or individualized determinations that they were likely to flee.

During a daylong hearing, the court heard testimony from one of the plaintiffs, Victor Cruz Gamez, a 56-year-old grandfather who has lived in the United States for more than two decades.

Cruz Gamez said he was taken into custody during a traffic stop last fall as he was driving home from work and held in immigration detention for three weeks despite having legal authorization to work and a pending visa application.

He said he presented his driver’s license and work permit but was still detained, taken to an ICE facility in Portland, and later transferred to an immigration detention center in Tacoma, Washington. 

He was facing deportation when an attorney intervened and secured his release.

Cruz Gamez became emotional as he described the toll the arrest took on his family, telling the court through a Spanish interpreter that his wife and grandchildren were afraid to leave their home for weeks.

The AP reported that a lawyer for the federal government apologized to the 56-year-old for his treatment and its impact on his family.

“Due process calls for those who have great power to exercise great restraint,” Kasubhai said. “That is the bedrock of a democratic republic founded on this great constitution. I think we’re losing that.”

Nicki Minaj officially gained a fan in Donald Trump.

While walking the red carpet at the premiere of the new film, “Melania,” President Donald Trump spoke with Fox News Digital about the 43-year-old rapper.

“Nicki Minaj is fantastic. She’s a terrific person,” he said. “She was so nice, and she understands, you know, what we’re doing with the Trump accounts. We’re helping children grow up where they’re 18 years old. They’re going to have a lot of money. They’re gonna be rich. And she got it. She’s been a supporter from the beginning. And I think Nicki Minaj is a winner. Fantastic.”

“Melania” follows the first lady, Melania Trump, ahead of the 2025 presidential inauguration, highlighting how she prepared to transition into the role for a second time. The film premiered in theaters globally on Friday, Jan. 30.

When speaking about what it was like having cameras follow her around while filming the movie, Melania said she almost didn’t notice they were there.

“It was my intense schedule, so it was like almost cameras were not there,” she said. “They followed me and, as you can imagine, they cannot do double takes because of all the security and very fast tempo. So I think people will enjoy the movie.”

When it comes to his wife, President Trump said the film is “a confirmation more than anything else,” that his wife is a “very smart woman” who “comes from another part of the world, but understands this country” and the world “very well.”

President Trump and Minaj previously appeared together at the U.S. Treasury Department’s Trump Accounts Summit, and were later photographed holding hands while posing for photos. When speaking at the summit, Minaj called herself the president’s “number one fan.”

“Well, I don’t know what to say, but I will say that I am probably the president’s number one fan,” Minaj told the crowd at the summit. “And that’s not going to change. And the hate or what people have to say, it does not affect me at all. It actually motivates me to support him more.”

Speaker of the House Mike Johnson told Fox News Digital “it was pretty surreal” to have the “Super Bass” singer in the Oval Office, adding that “she’s a lot of fun.”

“She told him that herself in the oval, and she walked out with a big Trump cap on and gold and glittery, and it matched her outfit, it was perfect, it’s a great arrangement,” he told Fox News Digital about Minaj’s statement.

“She was there in a historic moment,” he said. “I grabbed her shoulder on the way out, and I said, ‘Nicki, you know you can never repeat anything you saw or heard here today,’ And she said, ‘Well, you know. You know, it.”

Minaj first spoke out in support of President Trump in November 2025, praising him for bringing awareness to the massacre of Christians in Nigeria.

Following a Truth Social post by the president stating the United States is ready to protect the Christians in Nigeria, Minaj tweeted about the killings, adding, “Thank you to The President & his team for taking this seriously.”

“The President & First Lady of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” Minaj wrote on X when sharing the video. “Barbz, idk which one of you uploaded this to the white house TikTok but just know unlimited backstage GAG CITY FOR LIFE.”

Food prices are going up nationwide — and not just in grocery stores.

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics released its latest Consumer Price Index (CPI) report in January, a monthly snapshot tracking inflation in America.

Restaurant prices increased between 0.6% and 0.8% in December, compared with November, the CPI found.

“The food away from home index also rose 0.7% in December,” the report states.

“The index for full-service meals rose 0.8% over the month and the index for limited-service meals increased 0.6%.”

As the latest research leaves families wondering how much they should budget for restaurant meals, Fox News Digital spoke with two experts to find out.

Jeff Hoobler, a managing partner at Steep Ravine Brewing Company in Highland Park, Illinois, said his restaurant is one of the most affordable options in the area — and prices have still gone up.

“Prior to COVID, a family of four could dine with us for approximately $48 plus drinks, taxes and tip,” Hoobler said.

“That same meal today typically costs about $62 plus drinks, taxes and tips.”

He credited this to the lingering effects of COVID-linked inflation, as well as sharp wage increases.

Consumers “are spending less than they did a year ago.”

“The restaurant industry has always operated on thin margins, and like many others, we were cautious about passing along higher costs,” Hoobler said.

“Over the past four years, we have absorbed a significant portion of these cost increases ourselves. We have also experienced substantial increases on the labor side, as staffing became more challenging and wages increased by as much as 50% for certain positions.”

Chad Moutray, chief economist for the National Restaurant Association, told Fox News Digital that menu prices rise primarily due to restaurants facing higher operating costs, even as consumers remain cautious about spending. 

“As a result, the median full-service operator posted a profit‑to‑sales ratio of just 2.8% in 2024, with limited‑service restaurants at 4.0%,” he said.

“Both remain significantly below pre‑pandemic levels, underscoring the ongoing pressure restaurants face when trying to balance their ongoing cost increases with moderate menu price changes.”

Many restaurant operators are trying to do more with less amid inflation, said Bo Bryant, a restaurateur who goes by “The Restaurant Giant.”

“Operators are very aware that consumers are suffering from menu price fatigue and the overall value proposition restaurants are offering,” he noted.

“Unfortunately, many operators are faced with a dilemma: Since they can’t take the necessary price increases they need to maintain their profitability, they will be forced to [reduce] quality in one capacity or another.”

Despite the increase in prices, the Arizona-based expert said restaurant traffic is still steady — but consumers “are spending less than they did a year ago.”

He added that diners are still opting to eat in restaurants rather than order takeout, but are typically foregoing appetizers, drinks and higher-priced items like steaks.

Bryant said it’s hard to say what an average meal costs for a family, as it relies on factors that vary widely from state to state. 

All things considered, Bryant said, the “overall outlook is not so bad.”

A man has died and a girl is missing after heaving flooding hit Spain and Portugal. 

Storm Leonardo struck the Iberian Peninsula on Tuesday, with torrential rain and strong winds causing roads and towns to flood, damaging homes and forcing residents to flee.

A man, believed to be about 70, died in Portugal‘s southern Alentejo region on Wednesday after his car was swept away by flood water, local authorities said.

Meanwhile, rescuers have been searching for a girl who was washed away in the Turvilla river in southern Spain‘s Malaga province while trying to rescue her dog.

“We spent the whole afternoon and night yesterday searching in the river from ‌the place where the girl fell in until the very end of the river. We found the dog, but ​not her,” Malaga fire chief Manuel Marmolejo said on Spanish television.

The countries have been hit by a so-called “storm train” this winter, with Storm Marta expected to hit the region over the weekend, Spanish weather agency Aemet said.

In the Granada region in Spain, the streets of Huetor Tajar were flooded, along with nearby fields, after a river broke its banks, drone footage captured by the country’s Civil Guard shows.

The town of San Roque in Cádiz in Spain’s Andalusia region was also inundated by flood water.

Andalusia’s emergency services had attended to more than a million incidents by midnight on Wednesday, the agency said in a post on ​X.

Fourteen rivers and 10 dams were at “extreme” risk of overflowing, the regional government’s interior department’s head Antonio Sanz said.

Schools across Andalucia, except for in Almeria province, have been closed and some high-speed trains have been suspended in Andalucía due to the rain, according to Spain’s state-owned railway operator, Renfe.

Restaurant terraces were completely submerged, with sandbags stacked in ‌front of doors to protect homes and shops.

“I’ve never seen anything ‍like this. It’s surreal,” said resident Maria Cadacha.

“There are a lot of people here, very good people, many shopkeepers, homes with damage. I wouldn’t want to be in their shoes.”

Portugal’s National Civil Protection said it had registered at least 70 incidents by Thursday morning.

Reconstruction costs in Portugal after last week’s Storm Kristin alone could total over €4bn (£3.47bn), the country’s economy minister Manuel Castro Almeida said.

Storm Kristin left six people dead and thousands without power.
