From the US Supreme Court’s ruling on TikTok and Israel’s cabinet okaying a ceasefire pact with Hamas to US President Joe Biden commuting the sentences of thousands, several important events took place in the world this week.
President-elect Donald Trump said mass deportations will begin “very quickly” after taking office, one of a number of plans he discussed in a phone interview with NBC News on Saturday.
