Pentagon diverting key anti-drone technology from Ukraine to US forces in the Middle East
WASHINGTON — The Pentagon notified Congress last week that it will be diverting critical anti-drone technology that had been allocated for Ukraine to US Air Force units in the Middle East, according to correspondence obtained by CNN and people familiar with the matter.The move reflects the US’ shifting defense priorities under President Donald Trump – toward the Middle East and the Pacific – and the fact that US stockpiles of some defense components are becoming increasingly stretched.The technology, proximity fuzes for the rockets Ukraine uses to shoot down Russian drones, was redirected from the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative (USAI) to Air Force Central Command on orders from Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, according to the correspondence dated May 29 and sent to the...

Boeing struck a deal with the US Justice Department over crashes involving its 737 Max jets in 2018 and 2019
Boeing-DOJ deal 'repugnant', says lawyer for victims' families
NEW YORK — A lawyer for 16 families of victims of a fatal Boeing 737 Max crash, has told the BBC that a deal between the firm and the US Justice Department (DOJ) is "morally repugnant".Boeing said it agreed to pay $1.1bn (£811.5m) to avoid prosecution over two crashes that killed 346 people, in a filing on Wednesday.Sanjiv Singh, counsel for family members of some of the victims of a 2018 crash in Indonesia, says the deal allows the firm to "sidestep true criminal accountability".Boeing has previously said: "We are deeply sorry for their losses, and remain committed to honoring their loved ones' memories by pressing forward with the broad and deep changes to our company".The deal includes the aviation giant paying $444.5m to families of crash victims....

WASHINGTON — Donald Trump has suspended for an initial six months the entry of foreign students seeking to study or participate in exchange programs at Harvard University.The US president issued the proclamation on Wednesday, citing "national security" concerns and declaring it "detrimental" to US interests to continue allowing foreign students at the institution.Harvard has responded by calling the order "retaliatory" and emphasized it would continue to protect its international students, according to Reuters news agency.Trump's announcement is a further escalation of an ongoing legal row with one of the US's most prestigious universities after Harvard refused to yield to a series of White House demands in April.Wednesday's order comes after a...

Trump administration returns migrant hastily deported to Mexico back to the US
WASHINGTON — A Guatemalan national who says he was wrongfully deported to Mexico is back in the United States, his legal team told CNN, in what appears to mark the first time the Trump administration has brought back a migrant after a judge ordered the administration to facilitate their return.O.C.G., a pseudonym the migrant is using in the case, landed in the United States on Wednesday and made contact with a member of the litigation team challenging the Trump administration’s moves to send migrants to countries where they have no ties, according to Trina Realmuto, executive director of the National Immigration Litigation Alliance.He is now in Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s custody, Realmuto told CNN.The Trump administration said in court filings last week that it was...

Judge halts deportation of Colorado suspect's family
WASHINGTON — A US judge has temporarily halted deportation proceedings against the family of a man accused of Sunday's petrol-bomb attack on Jewish demonstrators in Boulder, Colorado.Mohamed Sabry Soliman, 45, is accused of a federal hate crime and other charges. Officials say his family, who are not charged in the attack, are Egyptian citizens.US District Judge Gordon Gallagher, a Biden appointee, ordered deportation proceedings to be halted, a day after the White House said it had six one-way tickets to deport the wife and five children from the US.The decision was one of three immigration rulings on Wednesday against Trump by federal judges as he seeks to deliver on his pledge for mass deportations."The court finds that deportation without process could work irreparable harm...

Trump administration takes hundreds of migrant children into government custody
WASHINGTON — The Trump administration is taking hundreds of migrant children already residing in the United States out of their homes and into government custody, at times separating them from their families and making it more difficult for them to be released, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter.President Donald Trump and his top aides have repeatedly cited the influx of children who arrived at the US southern border under the Biden administration without a parent or guardian as a critique of his predecessor and his handling of border security. Trump officials argue that hundreds of thousands of those children went unaccounted for — and are in potentially dangerous situations.While former Biden officials contend that the surge of kids in 2021 placed tremendous...

Canada proposes sweeping immigration and security bill
TORONTO — The Canadian government has proposed a bill to restrict some asylum claims and give authorities more power to halt the processing of immigration applications.Canada's immigration minister Lena Diab said the Strong Borders Act is meant to curb organised crime and the flow of illegal drugs and weapons, while boosting the "integrity" of the country's immigration system.It includes provisions that would give police more power to monitor Canada's shared border with the US.It could also bar those who have been in Canada for more than year from filing a claim for asylum. But critics said the bill, which seeks to expand authorities' ability to open and inspect mail, would breach civil liberties.The proposed legislation comes amid increasing pressure on Canada,...

US steel and aluminum tariffs doubled to 50%
WASHINGTON — US President Donald Trump has signed an order doubling tariffs on steel and aluminum imports from 25% to 50%.The move hikes import taxes on the metals - key inputs in everything from cars to canned food - for the second time since March.Trump has said the measures, which come into effect on Wednesday, are intended to secure the future of the American steel industry.However, critics say the protections could wreak havoc on steel producers outside the US, spark retaliation from trade partners, and come at a punishing cost for American users of the metals.Hours before he hiked the duties, many firms directly affected could scarcely believe the plan was moving forward, hoping it would turn out to be temporary or some kind of negotiating ploy.Even as Trump moved forward with the...
