U.S. judge blocks immigration arrests in Los Angeles over racial profiling claims
LOS ANGELES — A federal judge on Friday issued a temporary injunction blocking the Trump administration from conducting immigration stops and arrests in the Los Angeles area that plaintiffs allege are unconstitutional and racially motivated.U.S. District Judge Maame Ewusi-Mensah Frimpong ruled after hearing arguments in a lawsuit filed by immigrant rights groups, three detained immigrants, and two U.S. citizens.The plaintiffs say the actions of immigration agents have terrorized communities, forced immigrants into hiding, and harmed the local economy.Frimpong said there was substantial evidence suggesting that federal agents targeted individuals based on race, language, occupation, or geographic location — including areas like Home Depot parking lots and car washes — to establish...

TEL AVIV — Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz on Friday shared an aerial image of Beit Hanoun, a city in northern Gaza, boasting of its total destruction and declaring, "After Rafah and Beit Hanoun ... there is no refuge for terrorism."The image, posted to Katz's official X account, depicts a flattened urban landscape — reduced to rubble and ruins — revealing the extent of devastation inflicted on the town.Beit Hanoun, located along Gaza’s northern border with Israel, was among the first areas invaded by the Israeli army during its ground operation that began on October 28, 2023.More than 21 months into the war on Gaza, Palestinian armed factions have continued to launch organized ambushes in the area, challenging Israel’s military objectives.Last week, five...

Abu Shabab forces emerge as new militia in Gaza to challenge Hamas' control
JERUSALEM — A 300-member-strong Palestinian militia has emerged in Gaza, aiming to liberate the Strip from Hamas — and now it says it has the backing of Israel.The group, calling itself the Popular Forces, operates in eastern Rafah under the leadership of Yasser Abu Shabab, a Bedouin man in his thirties who spent years in Hamas detention for criminal activities before the 7 October attacks freed him from prison.According to comments made exclusively to Euronews, Abu Shabab’s group — not to be confused with Somalia’s Islamist extremists, Al-Shabaab — first banded together in June 2024.The Popular Forces, who also go by the moniker Anti-Terror Service, describe themselves as mere "volunteers from among the people" who protect humanitarian aid from "looting,...

Swedish migration minister ‘shocked and horrified’ by teenage son’s far-right links
STOCKHOLM — Sweden’s Migration Minister Johan Forssell has said he is “shocked and horrified” after learning that his teenage son had been involved with violent far-right extremist groups, according to domestic media reports.The revelation comes after the Swedish security service, Säpo, contacted Forssell several weeks ago to alert him to the activities of his 16-year-old son.Forssell, a member of the centre-right Moderate Party who formerly served as foreign trade minister, is part of a governing coalition that relies on support from the far-right Sweden Democrats.The minister went public following an exposé by the anti-racism magazine Expo, which revealed that a “close relative of a Swedish minister” had ties to the extremist far-right.According to the magazine, the son is...

UK and France launch pilot scheme to further deter Channel crossings
LONDON — The UK and France have agreed on a new pilot scheme allowing some migrants who cross the English Channel in small boats to be returned to France – a move UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer hopes will signal a stricter stance on illegal migration.Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron announced the plan Thursday during Macron’s state visit to London.Although limited in scope, UK officials hailed the deal as a breakthrough and said it sets a precedent that allows migrants arriving illegally to be sent back across the Channel."There is no silver bullet here, but with a united effort, new tactics and a new level of intent, we can finally turn the tables,'' Starmer told reporters at a news conference.“For the very first time, migrants arriving via small boat will...

Row over language turns violent in India's richest state
MUMBAI — For weeks, a battle over language and identity has been raging in India's richest state, Maharashtra.The row began in April after the Maharashtra government made it compulsory for state-run primary schools to teach Hindi as a third language, apart from English and Marathi (the state's dominant language). This, it said, was in line with a federal policy which mandates that children be taught three languages in school.The National Education Policy (NEP), introduced in 1968, aims to promote and regulate education in India and the government updates it occasionally. The latest iteration of the policy, introduced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government five years ago, is being implemented in stages and has run into controversy earlier.The Maharashtra government's...

France's new Lady Liberty artwork goes viral
France's Lady Liberty artwork goes viral as a new Statue of Liberty could be in the works
PARIS — A mural titled "The Statue of Liberty's Silent Protest" - featuring Lady Liberty covering her face with her hands and her torch now lying on her chest – has been unveiled in France.The artwork by Dutch artist Judith de Leeuw reportedly took six days to complete. It is located on a building in the northern city of Roubaix, and was unveiled just in time for this year’s 4 July celebrations.No coincidence as to the timing, considering the artwork was designed to illustrate the shame felt by many regarding the Trump administration’s immigration policies and ICE detainments of American citizens.The French location is no fluke either, as de Leeuw stated that Roublaix was chosen due to its “large migrant population.”"The values that the statue once stood for...
