...Congress that target illegal immigrants--including legislation to build a 700-mile fence along the Mexican border and make it a felony to be in the U.S. illegally. Regardless of whether the laws are enacted, authorities are already cracking down. Teams of officers from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) are rounding up some of the half a million fugitives the U.S. says are skirting orders to leave the country, and soon the dragnet will expand. In January the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees ICE, announced that it will triple the number of fugitive-hunting teams, from...
While illegal immigrants are said to number some 10 million in the U.S., federal agencies see the greatest strategic value in focusing on those who break more than just immigration laws. ICE expects the new teams--based in major cities, including Baltimore, Los Angeles and Miami-- to arrest up to 50,000 fugitives a year, with the goal of booting out every last one. For this photo essay, TIME photographer Robert Nickelsberg traveled with an ICE team and border agents in San Diego as they sought and arrested immigrants suspected of running afoul...
...millennium or so ago, the archipelago from Hudson Bay through Nunavut to northern Greenland was inhabited by nomadic groups we now call the Dorset people. They were, according to Inuit legend, tall and gentle folk, and they hunted from the ice edge, harpooning seals and walruses with tools made of bone and ivory.

With their boats, those hunters, the forebears of Canadian Inuit, eventually spread east to Greenland. For reasons still...

...From the moment the puck dropped, Maine controlled the tempo. Stringing together a series of tape-to-tape passes and maintaining an aggressive forecheck, the Black Bears forced Harvard to spend the majority of the opening frame protecting its own net. On the other side of the ice, goaltender Ben Bishop and the Maine defense moved the puck quickly out of their zone, limiting the Crimson to seven shots in the first period. “We weren’t able to establish our forecheck, [and] we weren’t able to sustain any type of pressure...
