Sweden Passes Law To Revoke Residence Permits From Migrants Who Fail ‘Good-Behavior’ Test

Sweden Passes Law To Revoke Residence Permits From Migrants Who Fail ‘Good-Behavior’ Test

Published by Jenni Sidey

Via Remix News, Sweden has passed a new migration law that will allow residence permits to be refused or revoked if foreign nationals are deemed not to have lived in an orderly manner, marking another major tightening of the country’s immigration system. The Swedish Parliament adopted the government’s amendments to existing immigration laws on Monday by 302 votes to 44, with the Left Party and the Green Party voting against the measure. The changes will mainly come into force next month. Under the new rules, a foreign national’s conduct will carry greater weight when authorities decide whether to grant, extend, or revoke a residence permit. The law does not set out an exhaustive list of behaviors that will be treated as unacceptable, leaving the Migration Agency to assess cases individually. It means that an immigrant who may not hold a criminal record but has acted in a disorderly manner in other ways could be told to leave. Decisions can be appealed to a migration court. Government representatives and investigators have cited several examples of conduct …

Vance Adds a Chicken Coop to the Vice President’s Residence, Along With a Dozen Baby Chicks

Published by Sam Flores

WASHINGTON (AP) — Vice President JD Vance has added a chicken coop to his residence at the U.S. Naval Observatory, along with a dozen baby chicks whose new henhouse is designed to look like the Victorian home where the second family lives. The coop, which features a round turret and faux slate roof, was donated by Carolina Coops, a North Carolina company that advertises “premium” coops that have amassed a social media following. The coop was custom-built for the residence and completed May 29, the company’s owner and founder said. “It’s something I thought was amazing to do for this country,” Matthew DuBoise said in an interview. “It’s a place of history and a place of significance.” The coop was built without taxpayer money, according to a person familiar with the project who spoke anonymously because they were not authorized to discuss it publicly. The residence hosted a family event over the weekend where local 4-H students taught other kids about the newly installed coup, the person said. Vice presidents since 1977 have lived on …

His Majesty King Charles III and his wife Queen Camilla are guests of US President Donald Trump for an official state visit. While there is guest accommodation inside the iconic White House, the President has opened his incredible guest house across the road for his extra special guests. It’s called Blair House and it has a fascinating history… The history of the building  © Alamy Stock PhotoBlair House in Washington, DC USA The building was constructed in 1824 and is situated at 1651 Pennsylvania Avenue, just across from The White House. It was built for Joseph Lovell, the first Surgeon General of the U.S. Army, but it was then purchased by Francis Preston Blair in 1836, who worked for the 7th US President, Andrew Jackson, which is where the name comes from. When the White House has undergone renovations, it has temporarily hosted Presidents like Harry S. Truman. It is also where Presidents-elect spend the night before their inauguration before moving into the White House. The interior of Blair House © Bettmann ArchivePhoto shows a guest …

Explosives thrown near New York City mayor’s residence investigated as ‘ISIS-related terrorism’

Published by Sam Flores

NEW YORK (AP) — New York City’s police commissioner said Monday that authorities are investigating whether men who brought improvised explosive devices to a protest outside New York City’s mayoral residence were inspired by ISIS. The devices, which did not explode, were hurled during raucous counterprotests Saturday near Gracie Mansion during a “Stop the Islamic Takeover of New York City” event led by the far right activist Jake Lang. Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said the explosives could have caused serious injury or death. Two people are in custody for their alleged roles in the confrontation but they have not been charged, Tisch said during a news conference. Police are working with federal prosecutors and the FBI, which has assigned agents with the bureau’s Joint Terrorism Task Force to the investigation. “I can confirm this morning that this is being investigated as an act of ISIS-inspired terrorism,” Tisch said. The two have not been charged. Tisch said police were working with federal prosecutors and the FBI on the case. The FBI said agents with the bureau’s Joint Terrorism Task Force …

Trump Says He Doesn’t Believe Ukraine Struck Putin Residence

ABOARD AIR FORCE ‌ONE, ​Jan 4 (Reuters) – U.S. ‌President Donald Trump said ​he did not believe that an ‍alleged Ukrainian strike ​on President Vladimir ​Putin’s ⁠residence took place as claimed by Russia. “I don’t believe that strike happened,” Trump told reporters on Sunday aboard Air ‌Force One en route back to ​Washington, ‌D.C., from Florida. “There ‍is ⁠something that happened fairly nearby, but had nothing to do with this.” Moscow accused Kyiv on Monday of trying to strike a residence of Putin ​in Russia’s northern Novgorod region with 91 long-range attack drones, and said Russia would review its negotiating position in ongoing talks with the U.S. on ending the Ukraine war. Ukraine and Western countries have disputed Russia’s ​account of the alleged attempted strike.

Kremlin Makes Show Of Handing Evidence To US Side ‘Proving’ Ukrainian Attack On Putin Residence

Kremlin Makes Show Of Handing Evidence To US Side ‘Proving’ Ukrainian Attack On Putin Residence

Published by Jenni Sidey

The Kremlin has really made a big show for the cameras of handing over to American officials what it says is evidence that Ukrainian drones had attempted to strike Russian President Vladimir Putin’s residence in the Novgorod region Sunday night into Monday morning. The international community has asked for evidence Putin’s residence was targeted, and Moscow has responded. Footage released by the Russian Defense Ministry on Thursday shows Igor Kostykov, head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Russian General Staff, meeting with the US defense attaché in Moscow and handing over what he identified as a “navigation unit” recovered from one of the drones shot down in Novgorod. Russia has been on an information blitz, putting out images of downed drones and televised interviews of local Russian eyewitnesses to the drone waves early this week. But the ‘evidence hand-over’ to the US side is ultimately strong signaling aimed at President Trump. Kostykov described that the “decryption of the content of the memory of the navigation controller of the drones carried out by specialists of Russia’s special …

By Gram Slattery and Jonathan Landay WEST PALM BEACH, Florida, Dec 31 (Reuters) – Ukrainian and European officials have rejected Moscow’s claims that ‌Ukraine targeted ​a personal residence of Russian President Vladimir Putin with a drone ‌attack this week, an incident that threatens to disrupt U.S.-led peace negotiations heading into the new year. On Monday, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov alleged that Ukraine had tried ​to attack Putin’s residence in the northern Novgorod region with dozens of drones, adding that Moscow would review its negotiating position as a result. U.S. national security officials have found Ukraine did not target Putin or one of his residences in a drone strike, ‍the Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday. Reuters could not immediately ​verify the report. The paper reported the conclusion was supported by a CIA assessment that found no attempt to target Putin or one of his residences. A CIA spokesperson could not be immediately reached for comment. U.S. President Donald Trump initially expressed sympathy for ​the Russian charge, telling reporters ⁠on Monday that Putin had informed …
