Mahmoud Khalil, a pro-Palestinian activist arrested for allegedly threatening US foreign policy, remains in federal custody. Despite a judge's initial ruling that the original justification for his arrest was likely unconstitutional, the government added a fraud charge related to his green card application. A judge accepted this new justification for his detention. Khalil's lawyers argue the fraud charge is pretextual, intended to circumvent the likely failure of the original accusation. Khalil can still seek release through the immigration court.

Earth’s Shape Accelerates Toward Roundness

Tap title to read story

New research shows Earth’s solid surface is becoming rounder faster as polar ice melts. The study, published in the journal JGR Solid Earth, used Global Navigation Satellite System data to measure surface motion. Between 2011 and 2015, polar uplift averaged about 0.02 to 0.04 inches per year, while the equatorial bulge contracted at a similar rate. The rate of change has accelerated compared to 1997‑2000, with each decade seeing a 0.01‑inch increase in polar uplift and a 0.02‑inch increase in equatorial contraction. These minuscule shifts, driven by melting glaciers, indicate a measurable, hastening increase in Earth’s roundness.
