Trump intensifies attack on citizenship rights

Trump intensifies attack on citizenship rights

The Trump administration’s latest immigration push is expanding beyond the border itself, reaching deeper into the lives of immigrants already living legally in the United States — including green card holders, visa applicants and families with children born on American soil. According to the Associated Press, immigration attorneys and applicants are increasingly reporting heightened scrutiny surrounding green card and citizenship processes, including concerns tied to political activity, travel history and social media presence. The growing uncertainty comes as the administration continues pressing a broader agenda centered on restricting immigration pathways and revisiting long-standing constitutional protections tied to citizenship. At the center of that effort is the continued push against birthright citizenship, the constitutional principle rooted in the 14th Amendment that grants citizenship to nearly anyone born in the United States. This weekend, President Trump amplified those efforts again by late-night reposting conservative commentator Mark Levin’s statement declaring: “Birthright Citizenship is suicide for our Country!” The rhetoric surrounding the issue has become increasingly apocalyptic and demographic in tone, with critics arguing that attacks on birthright citizenship …

At Least 14 Killed in Bombing Attack That Derailed a Train in Pakistan

At Least 14 Killed in Bombing Attack That Derailed a Train in Pakistan

At least 14 people were killed on Sunday after a bomb exploded near a passenger train in southwestern Pakistan, local officials said, in the latest outbreak of violence in a region gripped by a long-running separatist insurgency. The explosion happened around 8 a.m. local time near a railway crossing in Balochistan Province, close to Pakistan’s border with Afghanistan. The area is home to numerous militant groups that have grown increasingly violent in recent years. The bomb went off as a shuttle train carrying dozens of passengers, some from a nearby military base, was on its way to the main railway station in Quetta, the provincial capital, officials said. The blast was so powerful that it derailed the locomotive and at least three coaches, with two carriages overturning, according to Pakistan’s railway minister, Muhammad Hanif Abbasi. Many of the passengers were most likely traveling to visit their families ahead of Eid al-Adha, which will be celebrated on Wednesday in Pakistan. The train would have connected with the Jaffer Express, a vital 1,000-mile rail link between Quetta …

Russia batters Kyiv with massive missile and drone attack – POLITICO

Russia’s military pummeled Kyiv overnight with large-scale drone and missile attack that killed at least two people and injured scores of others, Ukrainian officials said on Sunday. Moscow’s forces used some 600 drones and 30 missiles, including at least one Oreshnik, a powerful hypersonic ballistic missile that is capable of carrying nuclear weapons, Ukraine’s air force said. “The largest number of missiles was directed at the capital — at ordinary residential buildings, at schools,” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in a post on X. “The Russian strike effectively destroyed the Chornobyl Museum, damaged the National Art Museum and the building housing the office of Germany’s ARD,” Zelenskyy said. Ukrainian intelligence services had warned of an attack using Oreshnik missiles on Friday, Zelenskyy said in another post. “The use of such weapons … also sets a global precedent for other potential aggressors,” he warned. The attack on Kyiv came after Russian President Vladimir Putin accused Ukraine of carrying out an attack on student dormitory in Luhansk, in occupied eastern Ukraine, in which 18 people died. Putin …

Evgeniy Maloletka/AP hide caption toggle caption Evgeniy Maloletka/AP KYIV – Russia pummeled Ukraine’s capital with a massive wave of missile and drone attacks early Sunday that sparked fires, and hours of explosions shook buildings. At least two people were killed and at least 77 injured, according to Kyiv mayor Vitaliy Klitschko, who said there was damage in “every district of the city.” European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said in a statement posted to social media that the European Union was sending more support to help Ukraine reinforce its air defense systems. “Russia’s massive attack on Ukraine last night shows the Kremlin’s brutality and disregard for both human life and peace negotiations,” von der Leyen said. “Terror against civilians is not strength. It’s despair.” Ukraine’s culture minister Tetyana Berezhna said the attacks also damaged the largest number of cultural institutions in Kyiv since Russia’s 2022 invasion.

Kyiv, Ukraine, Hit in Russian Missile Attack

Kyiv, Ukraine, Hit in Russian Missile Attack

Russia unleashed a huge missile and drone attack on Ukraine’s capital early Sunday morning, with explosions rattling buildings for hours and igniting several fires throughout the city. The bombardment damaged two entryways to the subway system — which is used as an underground refuge for thousands of people during air attacks — including in a strike on or near Kyiv’s central Independence Square, known as the Maidan and a symbol of the country’s resistance to Russia. President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine had warned that Russia planned to launch an Oreshnik, a type of intermediate-range ballistic missile specifically designed to carry nuclear warheads. Russia had used these missiles twice previously on Ukraine — first in 2024 and then in January — but with dummy devices in place of explosives. Those earlier attacks were seen as a way to intimidate Ukraine or Western allies, rather than to inflict significant damage. The Oreshnik is fired as a form of nuclear saber rattling, as a political tool rather than an effective weapon. It was unclear early Sunday whether the …
