U.S. has violated ceasefire agreement, Iran parliamentary speaker says

Published by Sam Flores

Iran’s parliamentary speaker, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, accused the U.S. on Wednesday of violating the two-week ceasefire agreement. “The deep historical distrust we hold toward the United States stems from its repeated violations of all forms of commitments — a pattern that has regrettably been repeated once again,” Ghalibaf said in a statement posted on social media. Three parts of Iran’s 10-point ceasefire proposal have been violated, Ghalibaf said. The violations are Israel’s continued attacks on Lebanon, the entry of a drone into Iranian airspace, and the denial of the Islamic Republic’s right to enrich uranium, he said. “In such situation, a bilateral ceasefire or negotiations is unreasonable,” the parliamentary speaker said. President Donald Trump said Tuesday that Iran’s proposal was a workable basis for negotiations. Vice President JD Vance addressed Ghalibaf’s allegations while traveling in Hungary on Wednesday. “Ceasefires are always messy,” Vance said in response to the alleged drone incursion into Iran’s airspace. The vice president said the U.S. position is that Iran cannot enrich uranium. The ceasefire extending to Lebanon was never part …

Judge: Continued Border Patrol sweeps in California violated court order

Judge: Continued Border Patrol sweeps in California violated court order

Published by Sam Flores

A federal judge ruled that Border Patrol agents continued making illegal stops and arrests after she ordered them to quit. In a tersely worded decision unsealed Thursday morning, the judge wrote that agents had “again detained people without reasonable suspicion,” relying on broad assumptions about day laborers instead of specific evidence of immigration violations. The ruling by Judge Jennifer Thurston of the Eastern District of California grants a United Farm Workers motion to enforce a preliminary injunction the judge issued last year. That motion barred Border Patrol agents from detaining people in California’s Central Valley without documenting the specific facts and reasoning for the stops. According to one legal expert, the ruling gives the Trump administration an opportunity to comply before consequences could escalate. Thurston highlighted that point during a hearing last year, telling the federal government: “You just can’t walk up to people with brown skin and say, ‘Give me your papers.’” Thurston’s original order also prohibited agents from carrying out warrantless arrests without first assessing whether a person is a flight risk. A …

A District Court judge has found that a Trump White House executive order to defund NPR and PBS violated the First Amendment and is therefore “unlawful and unenforceable.” It wasn’t immediately clear what the decision, which could be appealed by the administration, would mean for the future of federal funding of public broadcasting. In his ruling, Judge Randolph D. Moss of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, said “the First Amendment draws a line, which the government may not cross, at efforts to use government power – including the power of the purse – ‘to punish or suppress disfavored expression’ by others.” NPR, Aspen Public Radio, Colorado Public Radio, and KSUT …

Palestinians mourn over the dead who were killed in an Israeli military strike, at Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, Wednesday, Feb. 4, 2026. Jehad Alshrafi/AP hide caption toggle caption Jehad Alshrafi/AP DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip — Israeli strikes in Gaza killed at least 19 Palestinians, most of them women and children, by midday Wednesday, according to hospital officials. Israel pledged to continue strikes, saying that it was responding to a militant attack on Israeli soldiers that seriously wounded one. Among the Palestinians killed were five children, including a 5-month-old and a baby just 10 days old; seven women; and a paramedic, said hospital officials. They are the latest Palestinians in Gaza to die since a ceasefire deal, which has been punctuated by deadly Israeli strikes, came into effect on Oct. 10, 2025. More than 530 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli in that time, according to Gaza’s health ministry. The escalating Palestinian death toll has rocked the U.S.-backed truce and caused Palestinians in the strip to say it does not feel like the war has …

US Federal Court Says Energy Dept Climate Group Violated Law

US Federal Court Says Energy Dept Climate Group Violated Law

Published by Sam Flores

WASHINGTON, Jan 30 (Reuters) – A U.S. ‌federal ​court on Friday ruled ‌the Department of Energy violated the law when it ​formed a climate science advisory group, potentially putting its forthcoming final proposal to repeal ‍a key climate regulation ​at risk. The U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts issued a ​judgment ⁠that said the creation by the Trump administration of a Climate Working Group, comprised of five climate change skeptics, violated the law that governs how federal advisory committees work. The Environmental Defense Fund and Union of Concerned Scientists ‌sued the Department of Energy last year for convening the working ​group without ‌public meetings or notice.  Energy ‍Department ⁠spokesperson Ben Dietderich said on Friday that the groups have “sought to silence scientists who have merely pointed out – as the Climate Working Group did in its report – that climate science is far from settled,” and said the report still remains in the public record. The environmental groups had called on the Environmental Protection Agency to ​rescind its forthcoming final rule to repeal …

Thailand says Cambodia violated truce with cross-border ‘accident’

Thailand says Cambodia violated truce with cross-border ‘accident’

Published by Sam Flores

BANGKOK: Thailand accused Cambodia of violating a 10-day-old truce on Tuesday (Jan 6), saying cross-border mortar fire wounded a soldier, while Phnom Penh said a “pile of garbage” exploded, injuring two of its own troops. A decades-old border dispute between the Southeast Asian nations erupted into military clashes several times last year, with fighting in December killing dozens of people and displacing around one million on both sides. The two countries agreed a fragile truce on Dec 27, ending three weeks of clashes. “Cambodia has violated the ceasefire” on Tuesday morning, the Thai army said in a statement, accusing Cambodian forces of firing mortar rounds into Thailand’s Ubon Ratchathani province. One soldier was wounded by shrapnel, it added. The Thai army said in a later statement that the Cambodian side had contacted a Thai military unit and claimed “there was no intention to fire into Thai territory”, adding “the incident was caused by an operational error by Cambodian personnel”. The Thai military said it warned Cambodian forces to exercise caution, stressing if a similar incident …
