Trump Sends 300 National Guard Troops to Chicago as Tensions Rise

President Donald Trump has approved the deployment of 300 National Guard troops to Chicago, citing what he described as spiraling violence and chaos in the city. The decision came shortly after immigration authorities reported a confrontation with protesters that ended in gunfire. Officials said agents opened fire on an armed woman after demonstrators rammed law enforcement vehicles with their cars. Local and state leaders in Illinois swiftly condemned the move, accusing Trump of exploiting the situation for political gain. Governor JB Pritzker denounced the deployment as “an attempt to manufacture a crisis.” Meanwhile, a separate legal battle unfolded in Oregon, where a federal judge temporarily blocked the Trump administration from sending 200 federal troops to Portland. Judge Karin Immergut said the president’s justification for the deployment was “untethered to the facts” and violated constitutional limits. Immergut ruled that the federal […]

Five Dead, Thousands Without Power as Russia Launches Massive Missile and Drone Attack on Ukraine

ive people have been killed and tens of thousands left without power in Ukraine following a night of intense Russian missile and drone attacks, President Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed. Ukraine’s neighbour Poland scrambled fighter jets to secure its airspace, while NATO aircraft were also deployed amid heightened regional tensions. The western city of Lviv was one of the hardest hit. Regional governor Maksym Kozytskyi reported four deaths and several injuries after missiles struck residential areas. Another person was killed in Zaporizhzhia, where officials said a power plant was hit, leaving more than 73,000 residents without electricity. In a national address, Zelensky said Russia launched over 50 missiles and around 500 attack drones, targeting multiple regions including Ivano-Frankivsk, Chernihiv, Sumy, Kharkiv, Kherson, Odesa, Kirovohrad, Lviv, and Zaporizhzhia. “We need more protection and faster implementation of all defence agreements, especially on air defence, […]

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 […]

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 […]

US Postpones New Tariffs on Imported Pharmaceuticals

The United States has delayed the implementation of new, steep tariffs on imported pharmaceuticals that were scheduled to take effect on October 1st. The Trump administration had previously announced a 100% tariff on imported branded and patented medicines to pressure drug companies to move their production to the U.S. or lower prices. However, government sources confirmed the measure has been postponed for now. A senior U.S. official stated that instead of the broad tariffs, the administration will now focus on preparing tariffs that specifically target individual pharmaceutical companies which refuse to relocate production to the U.S. or reduce their drug prices. No specific reason was given for the delay. In a related development, officials clarified that the European Union would be exempt from any new pharmaceutical tariffs. Imports from the EU will continue to face the existing 15% tariff rate.

EU Leaders Meet in Copenhagen Amid Russian Drone Threats

EU leaders have gathered in Copenhagen under growing pressure to strengthen European defence following a series of Russian airspace incursions and drone disruptions at Danish airports. Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said Europe faces a direct threat. “From a European perspective there is only one country willing to threaten us and that is Russia, and therefore we need a very strong answer back,” she told reporters. Countries on the EU’s eastern flank, including Poland and Estonia, have been most affected by the incursions. Several member states now back plans for a multi-layered “drone wall” designed to detect, track, and neutralize Russian drones. Security around the summit has been tightened. Civilian drone flights are banned until Friday, and strict traffic restrictions are in place across Copenhagen. The city is also hosting a broader European Political Community summit, with international allies providing […]

US Government Shutdown 2025: Travel, Workers, and Services Affected

The US federal government has officially shut down after Republican and Democratic lawmakers failed to resolve a budget impasse, halting operations and causing widespread disruption across the country. The deadlock, which affects funding through October and beyond, has put about 40% of federal workers – nearly 750,000 employees – on unpaid leave, raising concerns about its economic and social impact. Air travel is one of the most affected sectors. While air traffic controllers and Transportation Security Administration (TSA) staff are considered “essential” and will continue working, they will not be paid until the shutdown ends. During the last major shutdown in 2018–2019, unpaid workers increasingly called in sick, leading to significant delays at airports. Americans planning overseas trips could also face delays, as passport agencies have warned of slower processing times. Federal employees, especially those not deemed essential, will face […]

US Embassy Assures Nigerians: Visa and Passport Services Will Continue Despite Shutdown

The United States Embassy in Nigeria has assured Nigerians that visa and passport services remain unaffected by the ongoing partial shutdown of the U.S. government. In a statement posted on its official X (formerly Twitter) account on Wednesday, the embassy said: “Due to the lapse in appropriations, this X account will not be updated regularly until full operations resume, with the exception of urgent safety and security information. At this time, scheduled passport and visa services in the United States and at U.S. Embassies and Consulates overseas will continue during the lapse in appropriations as the situation permits.” The embassy clarified that while consular services will proceed as scheduled, its social media updates will be limited to urgent safety and security advisories until a funding deal is reached in Washington. The announcement comes as students, business travelers, and families in […]

US Government Shuts Down After Budget Talks Collapse Between Trump, Congress

The US government officially shut down early Wednesday after President Donald Trump and Congress failed to reach a deal on federal funding, triggering widespread disruptions that will affect hundreds of thousands of workers and millions of Americans who rely on public services. The shutdown began at 12:01 am (0401 GMT) following the Senate’s rejection of a short-term funding measure already passed by the House of Representatives. At the heart of the deadlock are Democratic demands for increased health care funding, particularly for the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare), which the Trump administration has moved to dismantle. Trump Blames Democrats Trump placed the blame squarely on his opponents, threatening further cuts aimed at progressive priorities. “So we’d be laying off a lot of people that are going to be very affected. And they’re Democrats, they’re going to be Democrats,” Trump said from […]
