Trump's latest order comes amid a new wave of protests against his immigration policies
Trump orders increase in migrant deportations
WASHINGTON — US President Donald Trump has ordered an expansion of the detention and deportation of migrants across the country as protests against his policies continue.In a post on Truth Social, Trump called on federal agencies to "do all in their power" to deliver "the single largest mass deportation programme in history", naming Los Angeles, Chicago and New York as specific targets.These cities are among the many where large-scale protests have broken out against raids on undocumented migrants since 6 June.Trump has faced legal challenges and criticism for his response to the protests - particularly his deployment of the military to quell the demonstrations.Trump said he had directed the "entire administration to put every resource possible behind this...

The recruitment of children is one of the most serious challenges remaining in the armed conflict in Colombia
Thousands of children recruited by armed groups to kill in Colombia
BOGOTA — When Colombian senator and presidential hopeful Miguel Uribe Turbay was shot in the head on 7 June, it shocked the international community. After years of growing peace, the attack was a callback to Colombia's most violent years, when cartel-ordered assassinations were a common occurrence.But the identity of the alleged shooter proved even more shocking — a 15-year-old child.A video, shared widely online, shows police arresting a young man with a boyish face and hair over his shoulders, wearing blue jeans and a green T-shirt.Media has reported that after he was swiftly arrested, he cried out: "I did it for money for my family."He subsequently pleaded not guilty, the prosecutor's office said.Turbay has remained in critical condition at a clinic in Bogotá...

Appeals court temporarily allows Trump to keep National Guard in LA
SAN FRANCISCO — An appeals court has temporarily blocked a federal judge's order that directed the Trump administration to return control of California's National Guard troops back to the state.The appeals court's decision came hours after a federal judge said Trump's deployment of the troops to Los Angeles to quell immigration raids was illegal.Trump said he was sending the troops - who are typically under the governor's authority - to stop LA from "burning down" in protests against his immigration crackdown.California Governor Gavin Newsom and other local officials rejected the move, however, and said it was an unnecessary provocation. The appeals court said it would hold a hearing on Tuesday.At an earlier federal court hearing, Judge Charles Breyer said...

Australia would buy up to five Virginia-class attack submarines from the US - seen here in Western Australia earlier this year - under the Aukus deal
US reviewing Aukus submarine pact as part of 'America First' agenda
WASHINGTON — The US has launched a review of its multi-billion dollar submarine deal with the UK and Australia, saying the security pact must fit its "America First" agenda.Under the trilateral pact, believed to be aimed at countering China, Australia is to get its first nuclear-powered subs from the US, before the allies create a new fleet by sharing cutting-edge tech.Both Australia and the UK - which did its own review last year - have played down news of the US probe, saying it is natural for a new administration to reassess.The move comes as both Australia and the UK face pressure from the White House to lift military spending, demands heeded by Downing Street but largely resisted by Canberra.The Aukus agreement - worth £176bn ($239bn; A$368bn) - was signed in 2021, when...

Top officials from the US and China have been meeting in London
Trump says US-China deal 'is done'
SINGAPORE — US President Donald Trump has said a deal with China "is done" after two days of talks between top officials in London.Trump said that, subject to final approval from President Xi Jinping and himself, the US will get the rare earth metals it needs, while Chinese students can take up their places at American colleges.Earlier, the US and China said they had agreed in principle a framework for de-escalating trade tensions between the world's two biggest economies.Last month, Washington and Beijing agreed a temporary truce over trade tariffs but each country has since accused the other of breaching the deal.Posting on his Truth Social platform, the president said: "Our deal with China is done, subject to final approval with President Xi and me."Full...

More protests pop up across US; Texas to deploy National Guard

The protests come as Immigration and Customs Enforcement races to meet White House arrest quotas.More demonstrations are planned this week and weekend. Texas is deploying the National Guard in anticipation.Since Trump took office, ICE, which had previously been operating with a set of guidelines focused on public safety and national security threats, has had to pivot as the key agency at the core of the president’s campaign promise to carry out mass deportations.While the administration has touted its immigration crackdown publicly, privately officials have come under fire for failing to meet White House arrest quotas,...

Tensions flare in LA as Trump doubles National Guard deployment
