Poland scrambled fighter jets on Thursday after detecting a Russian reconnaissance aircraft operating near its airspace. The aircraft was intercepted and escorted out after being identified over international waters in the Baltic Sea. Separate airspace incidents were also detected overnight near Poland's eastern border, which were determined to be smuggling balloons. The incident comes just days after Polish aircraft were scrambled again on Tuesday as Russia carried out widespread strikes against Ukraine, resulting in significant damage and loss of life. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy condemned the Russian strikes, stating that they sent a clear signal about Russia's priorities and that the world needed to put more pressure on Russia to stop its aggression.

A US judge has temporarily blocked the detention of British free speech campaigner Imran Ahmed, who was targeted by the Donald Trump administration with a visa ban along with four Europeans. Ahmed, CEO of the Center for Countering Digital Hate, is a US permanent resident and had sued officials over the entry ban, arguing it was a violation of his rights to free speech and due process. The administration accused Ahmed and the others of working to censor freedom of speech or unfairly hitting US tech giants with regulation. The judge's decision allows Ahmed to remain in the US until his case is heard.

A federal judge has canceled the trial of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran man mistakenly deported by the Trump administration, and scheduled a hearing to determine whether the prosecution is being vindictive in pursuing human smuggling charges against him. Abrego Garcia was initially deported to El Salvador in March 2025 but was brought back to the US in June after facing public pressure and a court order. He has denied the allegations and argued that prosecutors are targeting him selectively. The hearing is set for January 28, 2026, where prosecutors will have to justify their reasoning for charging Abrego Garcia.
