A divided Federal Reserve cuts interest rates for a 3rd straight time
Scott Horsley
The Fed lowered its benchmark interest rate by a quarter percentage point, in an effort to shore up a weakening job market. With inflation remaining stubbornly high, it was not a slam dunk decision.
Jose Jeronimo Guardian, 48, was detained for deportation in the Clinton County Courthouse on Monday, October 27, 2025, in Carlyle, as his daughter watched. The men who arrested Guardian declined to identify themselves and took him out of the courthouse in handcuffs. Guardian is undocumented and was attempting to go to a Spanish-language traffic court for charges unrelated to his immigration status.
