IRRELEVANT’: After a longer-than-expected wait, quarterback Shedeur Sanders was selected by the Cleveland Browns in the fifth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, at pick No. 144. Sanders, son of NFL Hall of Famer Deion Sanders, had been projected to go higher but ultimately found his NFL home with the Browns. In the final pick of the draft, the New England Patriots selected Memphis defensive back Kobee Minor, earning him the title of “Mr. Irrelevant.” Minor embraced the moniker, stating it adds fuel to his fire as he aims to prove himself in the league.
- TRUMP ADMITS HE FEARS PUTIN MAY BE ‘TAPPING HIM ALONG’ AFTER ZELENSKYY MEETING: Following a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the Vatican, President Donald Trump expressed skepticism about Russian President Vladimir Putin’s intentions regarding peace in Ukraine. Trump questioned whether Putin is genuinely interested in ending the war, suggesting that he might be “just tapping me along.” He hinted at the possibility of imposing additional sanctions on Russia if progress isn’t made.
- FORMER CONGRESSMAN GEORGE SANTOS SENTENCED TO OVER 7 YEARS IN PRISON: Disgraced former U.S. Representative George Santos was sentenced to 87 months (over seven years) in federal prison for wire fraud and aggravated identity theft.

In addition to prison time, he was ordered to pay approximately $580,000 in penalties.
- FBI DIRECTOR SPARKS CONTROVERSY POSTING PHOTO OF WISCONSIN JUDGE’S PERP WALK: FBI Director Kash Patel is under scrutiny after posting a photo of Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan being escorted in handcuffs. The image, which does not show her face, has raised concerns about potential violations of Department of Justice media policies and the presumption of innocence.
- TRUMP ADMINISTRATION CONFIRMS ICE AGENTS ARRESTED MAHMOUD KHALIL WITHOUT A WARRANT: The Trump administration has acknowledged that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents arrested Columbia University graduate student Mahmoud Khalil without a warrant on March 8, 2025. Khalil, a legal permanent U.S. resident and pro-Palestinian activist, was taken into custody at his Manhattan apartment. Government attorneys justified the warrantless arrest by claiming Khalil posed a flight risk, alleging he was uncooperative and attempted to leave the scene. However, Khalil’s legal team disputes this, asserting that he remained calm and compliant during the arrest, and accuses the administration of politically motivated actions. Khalil has been detained in Louisiana and faces potential deportation under a provision that allows removal if a non-citizen is deemed to pose serious foreign policy consequences. His case has sparked widespread criticism from civil rights groups, who argue that the arrest violates First Amendment protections and sets a dangerous precedent for targeting individuals based on political activism.
