Trump administration moves to reinterview refugees admitted to US under Biden
WASHINGTON — The Trump administration is moving to reinterview certain refugees who were admitted to the United States under former President Joe Biden as part of a comprehensive review of their cases, according to an internal memo and a source familiar with the plans.The effort marks an unprecedented step in President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown — this time, targeting one of the world’s most vulnerable populations. Refugees must show that they were persecuted or face persecution in their home countries and undergo rigorous vetting prior to entering the United States in what is generally a yearslong process.Trump officials have scrutinized the admissions program, which has historically had bipartisan support, and argued that the previous administration didn’t...

US formally designates Venezuela’s Maduro as member of a foreign terrorist organization
WASHINGTON — The Trump administration could have expanded authority to take action in Venezuela starting Monday, as the US designates Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his government allies as members of a foreign terrorist organization.The designation of “Cartel de los Soles,” a phrase that experts say is more a description of allegedly corrupt government officials than an organized crime group, as a foreign terrorist organization will authorize President Donald Trump to impose fresh sanctions targeting Maduro’s assets and infrastructure. It doesn’t, however, explicitly authorize the use of lethal force, according to legal experts.Still, administration officials have been making the case that the designation — one of the State Department’s most serious...

'Can't afford lost wages': India's voter roll revision is worrying migrant workers
NEW DELHI — A sense of anxiety grips Rangpuri Pahari, a slum in India's capital Delhi.The neighborhood houses thousands of migrant workers who have lived hand-to-mouth for decades, mostly employed in the unorganised sector as domestic staff, cooks, mechanics, car washers and construction labourers.Now they fear they'll have to make sudden — and costly — trips home to keep their names on India's electoral rolls.On 4 November, India began a major exercise to revise electoral rolls across 12 states and federally administered regions.Known as the Special Intensive Revision (SIR), it covers nearly 510 million voters — or more than half of the country's 970 million electorate.India's Election Commission (EC) says the aim of the exercise is to ensure that no...
