As a result, winter hazards are likely through the next few days, with snow and ice a particular hazard, and the coldest conditions likely on Wednesday and Thursday. Wintry showers will affect areas exposed to the brisk northerly wind, in particular Northern Ireland, southwest Wales, southwest England, northeast England and across the northern half of Scotland.

On Sunday, November 9, roughly 20 people met outside Portland's Immigrations and Customs Enforcement facility for an aerobics workout class. Decked out in neon leotards, the participants did grapevines to classic, upbeat '80s new wave tunes in front of the boarded-up ICE building, where right-wing paramilitary types were conspiring to arrest and deport people. Sunday's "Sweating out the Fascists" aerobics class was another in a series of increasingly absurdist-seeming protests at Portland's Immigrations and Customs Enforcement facility, nestled deep in the South Waterfront.

Entrepreneur Frederick Tudor started sending ice from American bodies of water all around the world in the 1800s. It was seen as a luxury to be able to afford and cool or preserve your food and beverages with ice. When Tudor still had leftover ice from his export business, he'd give it to American taverns, who popped chunks of it into drinks. People loved how refreshing those chilly drinks were, and then wanted to buy ice from Tudor - a genius marketing plan.

We're establishing a misconduct tracker to systematically document abuse and civil rights violations by this administration - including cases where ICE has detained U.S. citizens and violated federal law, The tracker documents unconstitutional actions after they occur - it is not a live location tool. Creating this kind of investigatory record is routine and essential in any oversight inquiry.

President Donald Trump's plan to double the size of the ICE workforce has met a foe more powerful than any activist group. It is decimating new recruits at the agency's training academy in Georgia. It is the ICE personal-fitness test. More than a third have failed so far, four officials told me, impeding the agency's plan to hire, train, and deploy 10,000 deportation officers by January.

Huge crowds took to the streets in all 50 states of the United States to hold No Kings protests, expressing anger over President Donald Trump's hardline policies, while Republicans ridiculed them as Hate America rallies.
