Trump’s Birthright Citizenship Order Reaches the Supreme Court

Lawyers for President Trump asked the Supreme Court on Thursday to lift a nationwide pause imposed on the president’s order ending birthright citizenship for the children of undocumented immigrants and foreign residents. The move represents the first time the legal wrangling over the president’s order to end birthright citizenship has reached the Supreme Court. If the Trump administration succeeds, the policy could immediately go into effect in some parts of the country. Three federal courts, in Massachusetts, Maryland and Washington State, had issued directives temporarily pausing the order, which was signed by Mr. Trump on his first day in office and declared that citizenship would be denied to babies who do not have at least one parent who is a U.S. citizen or legal permanent resident. That would include children born to people who crossed into the country without permission. The Trump administration’s emergency […]

Khalil Sues Columbia and Lawmakers to Keep Activists’ Names Secret

Mahmoud Khalil, the Columbia University graduate detained by the Trump administration last weekend, and seven current students asked a federal court on Thursday to block the school from producing student disciplinary records to a House committee that demanded them last month. The committee’s request and the school’s compliance with it would violate the First Amendment rights of Mr. Khalil and the students and the university’s obligation to protect student privacy, the lawsuit said. The seven current students also asked the court to allow them to proceed anonymously and are referred to in the lawsuit with pseudonyms like Sally Roe and Ned Noe. Last month, the House Committee on Education and Workforce sent a letter to Dr. Katrina Armstrong, Columbia’s interim president, and the university board chairs, David Greenwald and Claire Shipman, that said “numerous antisemitic incidents” had taken place. It demanded […]

LG Autonomy: Gov Eno Warns Chairpersons Against Misuse Of Allocations

Akwa Ibom State governor, Pastor Umo Eno has disclosed that the 31 local government areas of the state have started collecting direct statutory allocations based on the LG autonomy granted them by the President Bola Tinubu-led federal government.

Tanker and cargo vessel collide off UK coast, coastguard says

Britain’s coastguard has launched an emergency response after a collision between an oil tanker and cargo vessel in the North Sea, off England’s northeastern coast. The UK coastguard said it has sent a helicopter and lifeboats from nearby towns, as well as “vessels with fire-fighting capability,” to respond to the incident. “A coastguard rescue helicopter from Humberside was called, alongside lifeboats from Skegness, Bridlington, Maplethorpe [sic] and Cleethorpes, an HM Coastguard fixed-wing aircraft, and nearby vessels with firefighting capability,” it said. The incident is believed to involve a US-flagged tanker called the Stena Immaculate, which was at anchor off the coast near the city of Hull, and a container ship called the Solong -which is sailing under the flag of Madeira, an autonomous region of Portugal - according to the ship tracking tool VesselFinder. A flurry of high-speed ships and […]

Plan to Return Russian Diplomats to U.S. Poses Espionage Risk

As it moves to transform U.S. relations with Russia, the Trump administration is talking with Moscow about readmitting potentially scores of Russian diplomats into the United States after years of expulsions. But the good-will gesture, which would be reciprocated by Moscow, could be a kind of Trojan horse, experts and diplomats warn, as the Kremlin is likely to dispatch spies posing as diplomats to restore its diminished espionage capabilities within the United States. U.S. and Russian officials met in Istanbul last month to discuss returning more diplomats to each other’s countries after years of tit-for-tat expulsions and the shuttering of diplomatic facilities. The midlevel talks, part of a rapid rapprochement between the Kremlin and the White House under President Trump, took place at the U.S. consul’s residence. Days earlier in Riyadh, a U.S. delegation headed by Secretary of State Marco Rubio […]

Togo Extends Security Emergency in Savanes Region Until 2026

The National Assembly of Togo has extended the state of security emergency in the Savanes region for another year. It is now set to last until March 2026. On Thursday, March 6, 2025, lawmakers approved the government’s request for this extension. This is the fourth time the emergency state has been extended since first declared in June 2022. It was previously extended in September 2022, April 2023, and March 2024. Authorities have justified the move by citing persistent security threats in northern Togo. Officials have explained that the extension allows the government to adapt its response to evolving threats and continue efforts to protect people and property. The measure also aims to maintain public order and safeguard the country’s territorial integrity. The Savanes region has been facing attacks from armed terrorist groups since November 2021.
