A United States Army veteran who was forced to self-deport to South Korea has told Newsweek he will only return once President Donald Trump leaves office.
Purple Heart veteran Sae Joon Park, who has lived in the U.S. for 48 years, was told by immigration authorities that he had three weeks to leave the country.
"President Trump sucks. I will try to come back after Trump leaves," Park told Newsweek in a statement.

Performance Analysis of Wireless Communication Systems Assisted by Fluid Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces
This letter investigates the performance of emerging wireless communication systems assisted by a fluid reconfigurable intelligent surface (FRIS). Unlike conventional reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs), an FRIS consists of fluid-inspired metamaterials arranged in a densely packed matrix of sub-elements over a surface. It dynamically activates specific elements for signal reflection and modulation based on real-time channel conditions. Considering a downlink scenario where a base station…

Entropy of self-avoiding branching polymers: mean field theory and Monte Carlo simulations
We study the statistics of branching polymers with excluded-volume interactions, by modeling them as single self-avoiding trees on a generic regular periodic lattice with coordination number $q$. Each lattice site can be occupied at most by one tree node, and the fraction of occupied sites can vary from dilute to dense conditions. By adopting the statistics of directed trees as a proxy for that of undirected trees without internal loops and by an exact mapping of the model into a field theory, …

Four years after Gov. Greg Abbott announced Texas would be the first state to build its own border wall, lawmakers have quietly stopped funding the project, leaving only scattered segments covering a small fraction of the border.
That decision, made in the waning hours of this year’s legislative session,
leaves the future of the state wall unclear.
Just 8% of the 805 miles the state identified for construction is complete, which has cost taxpayers more than $3 billion to dat…

With only 8% built, Texas quietly defunds state border wall program
Texas officials suggested the federal government could pick up construction. However, during President Trump’s first term, his administration built about one-third of what the state was able to put up in the same amount of time.
