SUMMARY: A large protest in Biloxi lasted over three hours, fueled by growing concerns over increased immigration law enforcement. Demonstrators, including first-generation Americans like Alan Lara and Alma Leon, voiced their fear and frustration, advocating for immigrant rights. Many participants, like Abigail Ramirez, organized the event to support those unable to speak for themselves and highlight the contributions of immigrants to the nation. The protest drew solidarity from various community members, who expressed support through honks and gestures. Immigration and Customs Enforcement recently reported making around 1,000 arrests per day, further intensifying the protest’s significance.

Thousands of dead fish floating in Jackson County bayous a result of unprecedented winter storm
SUMMARY: Residents of Jackson County are dealing with thousands of dead mullet fish floating in local bayous after a historic winter storm. The Mississippi Department of Marine Resources (DMR) attributes the deaths to the Arctic blast, which killed millions of mullet, a species unable to tolerate extreme cold. The decomposing fish create a strong stench in areas like Davis Bayou near the Gulf Islands National Seashore. While DMR officials say the immediate impact seems limited to mullet, they warn of potential secondary fish kills due to low oxygen levels in the water. The DMR is actively monitoring the situation.
