South Africa raids US-linked refugee centre, to deport Kenyans over illegal work

South Africa’s Department of Home Affairs has arrested seven Kenyan nationals during a raid on a centre in Johannesburg that processes applications for people seeking resettlement in the United States. Officials said the operation targeted suspected immigration violations and was carried out with support from other law enforcement agencies.​ According to the department, intelligence reports indicated that several Kenyans had recently entered South Africa on tourist visas but were working at the refugee processing centre in defiance of their visa conditions. Earlier applications for proper work visas for Kenyan staff at the facility had been rejected, but the individuals allegedly took up employment regardless.​ During the raid, authorities said they found seven Kenyan nationals actively engaged in work despite only holding visitor visas. All seven were arrested, issued deportation orders and told they are banned from re-entering South Africa for […]

India deports 32 Nigerians over alleged drug network links

Indian authorities have deported 32 Nigerians after a nationwide crackdown on an alleged transnational drug network operating across several major cities. The deportations came less than two weeks after around 50 Nigerian suspects were arrested in coordinated raids led by India’s Elite Anti Narcotics Group for Law Enforcement, known as EAGLE, working with Delhi Police.​ Investigators say the network was allegedly controlled by a Nigeria based kingpin identified only as “Nick,” who is wanted in multiple drug trafficking cases in India. Officials claim all the Nigerians arrested in Delhi were working for the fugitive mastermind, who is believed to have about 100 associates in the city alone.​ A forensic review of seized phones and laptops reportedly showed a client base of more than 3,000 people across India, pieced together from payment records, encrypted chats and delivery contacts. The syndicate is […]

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. […]

UK Police Search for Asylum Seeker Freed in Error

UK police are searching for an Ethiopian asylum seeker who was mistakenly released from prison after being convicted of sexual offenses. Hadush Gerberslasie Kebatu, 38, was serving a one-year sentence for sexually assaulting a teenage girl and a woman. He was due to be deported but was incorrectly released due to a Prison Service error. Prime Minister Keir Starmer called the incident "totally unacceptable" and stated that the man "must be caught and deported for his crimes." Essex Police, leading the investigation, confirmed that Kebatu was last seen boarding a train to London. They are working with the Metropolitan Police and reviewing CCTV footage to locate him. The case had previously sparked anti-immigration protests in the Epping area, where Kebatu was housed in a hotel for asylum seekers. The father of the teenage victim said the justice system had "let […]

Burkina Faso Refuses to Accept US Deportees

Burkina Faso has publicly refused a US request to accept individuals being deported from the United States, directly challenging a key part of President Donald Trump's immigration policy. The West African nation's foreign minister, Karamoko Jean-Marie Traore, called the proposal "indecent" and stated it was "completely contrary to the principle of dignity." The refusal comes as the US has been seeking third countries, including some in Africa, to receive deportees. The announcement followed a move by the US embassy in Burkina Faso to suspend most regular visa services, requiring citizens to apply from neighboring Togo instead. The minister questioned if this was "blackmail," reaffirming that Burkina is "a destination, not a place of expulsion." Under its current junta leader, Captain Ibrahim Traore, Burkina Faso has distanced itself from Western powers like France and strengthened its ties with Russia.

US Offers Migrant Teens $2,500 to Voluntarily Leave Country

The Trump administration is launching a new program that will offer $2,500 to unaccompanied migrant teenagers if they voluntarily agree to leave the United States. According to a report, the initiative will start with 17-year-olds and requires approval from an immigration judge. The payment would be issued after the teen arrives in their home country to aid with "reintegration." An Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) spokesperson stated the program is "strictly voluntary" and allows minors to make an "informed decision." The administration already offers a smaller "exit bonus" to adults who choose self-deportation. However, the policy has drawn sharp criticism from immigrant advocates. They argue that offering money to children undermines legal protections for vulnerable youth and could pressure them to return to dangerous conditions in their home countries.

US Supreme Court Lets Trump End Protected Status for Venezuelans

The US Supreme Court has ruled for a second time to allow the Trump administration to remove Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for approximately 350,000 Venezuelan immigrants. This decision, supported by the court's conservative majority, puts the Venezuelans at risk of deportation. The court's three liberal justices dissented. The ruling blocks a lower court's order that had prevented the administration from stripping away the protected status. TPS shields individuals from deportation and allows them to work legally if their home countries are deemed unsafe due to conflict or disaster. In a brief order, the court stated that the same reasoning from its initial emergency ruling in May applied. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson criticized the decision, accusing the conservative majority of prioritizing the administration's urgency over the lives of those protected. This move is part of President Trump's broader effort to crack […]

UK PM Starmer to Review How Courts Apply Migrant Rights

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has announced a review of how British courts interpret international human rights laws. The goal is to manage immigration more effectively and increase the number of migrant deportations. In a BBC Radio interview, Starmer stated his government is analyzing the application of key international conventions, including those protecting refugees, preventing torture, and upholding children's rights. He emphasized that he believes in these agreements but that they must be applied to modern circumstances. "We need to look again at the interpretation of some of these provisions," Starmer said. He clarified he does not intend to "tear all that down," but to adapt their application in the face of what he called "mass migration." The Prime Minister specifically highlighted two articles of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR): Article 3, which prohibits torture. Starmer suggested a […]

Trump govt launches immigration raids in Chicago

The Trump administration has launched a major immigration enforcement operation in Chicago, escalating tensions with Illinois leaders. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced the crackdown on Monday under the codename “Operation Midway Blitz,” saying it targets the “worst of the worst criminals.” DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin accused Illinois Governor JB Pritzker and other Democratic officials of allowing violent offenders, including gang members and drug traffickers, back onto Chicago’s streets. “For years, Governor Pritzker and his fellow sanctuary politicians released Tren de Aragua gang members, rapists, kidnappers, and drug traffickers on Chicago’s streets — putting American lives at risk,” McLaughlin said in a statement.
