Headline says “ICE-involved shooting.” That word “involved” is vague. “Officer-involved” is used by law enforcement for that reason. How was ICE “involved”? Was an officer shot? No. An ICE agent shot and killed someone. Again. Headline writers: Use accurate words, not words the perpetrators use.

Erling Haaland and the rest of the Norwegian men's team are paid the same as the women's team. In 2017, they took a voluntary pay cut to allow the women's pay to be increased. The move came from the players' union, not management.
