Here’s the thing about Bad Bunny’s light poles The artist scaled an electric pole while performing β€œEl ApagΓ³n,” which literally translates to "the blackout."

Puerto Rico residents lost about 27 hours of power each year from 2021 to 2024β€”all without accounting for electricity failures from hurricanes or other major disasters.

In comparison, residents in the mainland US experience about two hours of power loss each year.

Screenshot of tweet by @DHSgov dated Feb. 2. The text reads: Homesick? Take advantage of the historic CBP Home deal we are offering TODAY: a $2,600 exit bonus and a FREE flight to your home country. Illegal immigrants can leave safely and travel normally if they self-deport now. The post image shows a custom DHS plane ticket that says "$2,600 Exit Bonus," "Free Flight," and "CBP Home."

But last fall, we spoke to a dozen immigrants who said they followed Trump's instructions, yet never received the promised assistance.
