As companies seek to close growing gaps in skills and talent,

Deloitte US CEO Jason Garzatus believes it's important for organizations to understand their baseline of skills.

There's so many organizations that can't ask and answer the fundamental questions about how much computer science or data management skills do I have or AI development skills in a given domain?

President Trump is threatening to invoke the Insurrection Act, which would allow him to deploy

the military inside the U.S. He's responding to protests in Minnesota, where he wrote on

Truth Social that, quote, agitators and insurrectionists are attacking ICE and local officials

aren't stopping them. Minnesota Governor Tim Walls, a Democrat, has encouraged residents to protest

challenges. And ICE agents today arrested two workers driving to the construction site of a

metadata center in Louisiana. That's according to local law enforcement who said the workers were

arrested due to

their immigration status. They were from Guatemala and Honduras. META is building a $27 billion

data center in Richland Parish, a rural area in the northeast of the state. The company declined to

comment when asked about the arrests. The Department of Homeland Security didn't respond to requests for comment.
