Half of Project 2025 Policies Already Implemented

As Donald Trump prepares for his State of the Union address, many of the ultra-conservative policies outlined in Project 2025 are already in effect. The 900-page blueprint, developed by the Heritage Foundation before the 2024 election, had previously been publicly disavowed by Trump. Despite his earlier distancing, analysts say roughly half of Project 2025’s proposals have been implemented during Trump’s first year back in the White House. Measures include a crackdown on immigration, ending federal diversity and inclusion programs, halting billions in foreign aid, and cutting thousands of federal jobs. Project 2025’s centerpiece, the Mandate for Leadership, laid out strategies to expand presidential power and reshape federal agencies. Experts note it not only suggested policies but also provided detailed legal and administrative methods for execution. Early moves by the Trump administration reflected these plans, including reorganizing the United States Agency […]

US clears multibillion dollar arms sales to Israel and Saudi Arabia

The United States has approved two major weapons deals worth billions of dollars for Israel and Saudi Arabia at a time of heightened tension with Iran. The State Department authorised a 3.8 billion dollar sale of 30 Apache attack helicopters to Israel, along with a 1.8 billion dollar package of joint light tactical vehicles. It said the deal would help Israel maintain a strong self defence capability and is consistent with long standing US commitments to its security. Washington already supplies Israel with billions of dollars in military aid each year. The latest approvals come as Israel observes a fragile US backed ceasefire in Gaza after more than two years of war with Hamas. The US has also approved a 9 billion dollar sale of 730 Patriot missiles to Saudi Arabia. The system is designed to defend against incoming aerial […]

US slams visa ban on Nigerians linked to anti-Christian attacks

The United States has announced new visa bans targeting Nigerians accused of involvement in anti-Christian violence and other serious violations of religious freedom.​ US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the restrictions would apply to individuals who knowingly direct, authorise, fund, support or carry out attacks and abuses against Christians and other religious minorities, as well as to their immediate family members.​ He explained that the decision was a response to mass killings and violence linked to radical Islamist groups, Fulani militias and other armed actors in Nigeria, and warned that the same policy could be used against abusers in other countries.​ The visa measures are being implemented under Section 212(a)(3)(C) of the US Immigration and Nationality Act, which allows Washington to deny entry to foreign nationals whose presence is considered against US foreign policy or security interests.​ Although the […]

Group Sues Ghana Government to Void U.S. Deportation Deal of West Africans

A Ghanaian civil society group, Democracy Hub, has filed a lawsuit at the Supreme Court seeking to nullify the deportation agreement between Ghana and the United States government, describing it as unconstitutional and inhumane. The legal challenge follows President John Mahama’s recent disclosure that Ghana had entered into an arrangement with Washington to accept deportees from across West Africa as part of U.S. President Donald Trump’s broad deportation programme. According to lawyers and affected migrants, at least 28 deportees have so far been flown into Ghana, with some subsequently transferred to their countries of origin or sent to third countries without proper documentation. In its court filing, Democracy Hub accused the Mahama administration of violating constitutional provisions by implementing the U.S. deportation deal “without a parliamentary resolution or ratification.” The group is asking the Supreme Court to declare the reception, […]

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 […]

Apple Removes ICE Tracking Apps from App Store

Apple has removed several mobile applications used to track U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents from its App Store. The move came on Thursday following reported pressure from the Trump administration. The apps, which allowed users to anonymously report the locations of ICE officers, had grown in popularity amid the administration's intensified deportation efforts. Officials argued that the apps endangered law enforcement lives, citing a recent deadly shooting at an ICE facility in Texas where the gunman was alleged to have used such a tool. Apple confirmed the removal in a statement, saying it acted "based on information we've received from law enforcement about the safety risks." The Attorney General's office stated it had demanded the removal of the popular "ICEBlock" app, and Apple complied. The company did not provide further comment on the decision, which highlights the ongoing […]

Trump Administration Cuts Energy Projects, Freezes NY Funds

The Trump administration has canceled billions in clean energy projects and frozen funding for major New York infrastructure, escalating a political battle over the ongoing US government shutdown. The Department of Energy announced the termination of 223 clean energy projects, claiming a savings of $7.56 billion for taxpayers. Officials stated the projects did not advance US energy needs or provide a good return on investment. Russell Vought, head of the Office of Management and Budget, labeled the canceled funding as "Green New Scam" money on social media. The affected projects are in 16 states, including Democratic strongholds like California and New York. California Governor Gavin Newsom said the move cancels up to $1.2 billion for a hydrogen project and threatens thousands of jobs. Separately, the Department of Transportation froze nearly $18 billion for two major New York projects: the Second […]
