Trump says he doesn't want Somalis in US as ICE plans Minnesota operation
WASHINGTON — US President Donald Trump has said he does not want Somali immigrants in the US, telling reporters they should "go back to where they came from" and "their country is no good for a reason"."I don't want them in our country, I'll be honest with you," he said during a cabinet meeting on Tuesday. Trump said the US would "go the wrong way if we keep taking in garbage into our country".His disparaging comments came as immigration authorities were reported to be planning an enforcement operation in Minnesota's large Somali community.Officials in the state have condemned the plan, arguing it could unfairly sweep up American citizens who may appear to be from the East African nation.Minneapolis and St Paul, which together are known as the Twin Cities, are home to one...

Trump and Hegseth insist they didn’t know of follow-up strike that killed survivors on suspected drug boat
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Tuesday sought to distance themselves from the decision to launch a follow-up strike on a suspected drug boat in the Caribbean, insisting they weren’t aware of what the military had done after the first strike didn’t kill everyone on board.During a Cabinet meeting, Trump told reporters that he was not consulted ahead of time, and that even months after the strikes, he had not yet been fully briefed on the circumstances surrounding them.“I didn’t know about the second strike. I didn’t know anything about the people,” he said. “I wasn’t involved, and I knew they took out a boat, but I would say this, they had a strike.”Trump added that he was relying on Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to keep him...

Trump formally pardons former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández
WASHINGTON — US President Donald Trump has formally pardoned former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández, telling reporters at the White House on Tuesday, “I feel pretty good about it.”Hernández’s attorney Renato Stabile and a White House official told CNN earlier Tuesday that Trump had pardoned the former Honduran president.

US Navy commander ordered second Venezuela boat strike, White House says
WASHINGTON — A top US Navy commander ordered a second round of strikes on an alleged Venezuelan drug boat, the White House has confirmed.The "double tap" strike on 2 September has drawn bipartisan scrutiny among US lawmakers. The Washington Post recently reported that two people survived the first blast and were still clinging to the burning vessel when they were killed, raising fresh legality questions.White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said on Monday that Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth authorised the strikes but did not give an order to "kill everybody", as the report said."Admiral (Frank) Bradley worked well within his authority and the law" in ordering the additional strike, Leavitt said.More than 80 people have been killed in a number of similar strikes in the Caribbean...

Alina Habba, seen here with President Trump in 2024, has been serving as US Attorney for New Jersey
Appeals court disqualifies ex-Trump lawyer Alina Habba as New Jersey prosecutor
ATLANTIC CITY — A US appeals court has ruled that President Donald Trump's former personal lawyer, Alina Habba, has been unlawfully serving as top federal prosecutor for New Jersey — a ruling likely to affect scores of criminal cases in the state.The president handpicked Habba for the role of US attorney this year, but a district court rejected her nomination, so the Trump administration installed her in a role that allowed her to fill in on an acting basis.The appellate judges found on Monday that this tactic, which bypassed confirmation by the US Senate, violated the Federal Vacancies Reform Act.Habba is the second Trump-appointed prosecutor to be disqualified in recent weeks."It is apparent that the current administration has been frustrated by some of the legal and political...

Honduras presidential candidates locked in 'technical tie', official says
TEGUCIGALPA — The two leading candidates to be president of Honduras were locked in a "technical tie" on Monday, with a razor-thin margin separating them.As of Monday afternoon, there were just 515 votes separating right-wing candidate Nasry Asfura from his nearest challenger, Salvador Nasralla, a former TV host standing for the country's centrist party.The head of the electoral commission called for "patience and prudence" while the result was tallied, but officials have not released an update since, leading to confusion and growing tensions among voters about the status of the race.The website of the electoral council has also collapsed, adding to public fears about problems with the count.On Monday night, US President Donald Trump, who is a vocal backer of Asfura, claimed...
