‘ICE will comply’: Top Minnesota judge threatens criminal contempt for continued defiance
A major earthquake struck a coastal region early Tuesday, shaking buildings and triggering aftershocks across several cities. Rescue teams are coordinating with local authorities to reach affected neighborhoods as power supplies and communications remain unstable.
Authorities issued evacuation orders for low-lying areas near the coastline while hospitals report an increase in injured patients. Officials say the initial quake measured magnitude 6.8, with experts warning of potential further tremors as aftershocks continue to ripple through the area.
International aid agencies have begun mobilizing emergency relief, including temporary shelters, medical supplies, and search-and-rescue equipment. The disaster response head urged residents to stay away from cracked structures and to follow official guidance as the situation develops.
