UK justice minister to unveil major court reforms

UK Justice Secretary Shabana Mahmood is set to announce a sweeping package of court and sentencing reforms aimed at tackling crime and easing pressure on Britain’s overcrowded prisons.​ The plan will tighten early release rules for serious offenders, reduce the scope for automatic release, and expand the use of longer sentences for repeat and dangerous criminals.​ At the same time, the reforms will encourage alternatives to custody for low‑level, non‑violent offenders, including community sentences and rehabilitation programmes, in a bid to reduce reoffending and free up prison space for high‑risk inmates.​ The proposals are also expected to include measures to speed up court processes, cut case backlogs, and make greater use of technology such as remote hearings to improve efficiency across the justice system.​ Mahmood is due to present the reform package to Parliament, stressing that the changes are designed […]

Trump to End Temporary Protected Status for Somalis

President Donald Trump has announced the immediate end of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Somali immigrants living in Minnesota, claiming the cut is part of his crime prevention policies. Trump said on Truth Social that Somali TPS holders are “hereby terminated,” urging deportation with the message, “Send them back to where they came from. It’s OVER!” TPS protected Somalis from deportation and allowed them to work, provided to those unable to safely return due to war or disaster. Minnesota hosts one of the largest Somali communities outside Africa, with around 705 TPS approvals and as many as 4,300 more eligible for renewal. TPS for Somalis was last extended in July 2024 because of ongoing danger in Somalia from Al-Shabaab insurgency. Trump’s crackdown also targets TPS beneficiaries from Afghanistan, Haiti, South Sudan, Venezuela, and other nations, and faces expected legal challenges. […]
