Donald Trump confirmed plans to declare a national emergency and use the military for his mass deportation program, which will face many legal challenges. Trump also announced Brendan Carr as his pick for FCC chairman, who supports revoking licenses of major broadcasters for alleged political biases. Lawyers for Sean “Diddy” Combs accused prosecutors of misconduct after a raid on his cell led to a request for him to remain in jail pending his trial. An FBI agent testified that GPS data places Laken Riley and her accused killer, Jose Ibarra, in the same area where her body was found, intensifying the immigration debate. Spirit Airlines filed for bankruptcy protection but will continue operations through the new year.
