The Trump administration got a high-profile rebuke in Minneapolis over its deportation obsession. But it’s continued to quietly reshape the immigration system into a weapon against its political opponents.

Trump’s Politically Driven Deportations Are Quietly Rising
Donald Trump’s street-level ICE surges and deportation obsession are wildly unpopular. That isn’t stopping the administration from continuing to target noncitizens over constitutionally protected free speech, including green card holders.

Houthis threaten more Saudi strikes as UN warns of humanitarian crisis in Yemen
Estimated 100,000 Yemenis displaced amid renewed fighting as Qatar sounds alarm over Bab al-Mandab strait Saudi cities faced the threat of a second day of Houthi attacks as fighting across Yemen led the UN to warn of a humanitarian crisis with 100,000 Yemenis already displaced. As oil prices remained well over $100 (£74) a barrel, Qatar warned of a catastrophe if the Iran-backed Houthi militants won full control of the Bab al-Mandab strait, the narrow waterway at the bottom of the Red Sea dominating the key naval route to Asia. The strait has become vital to Saudi crude oil exports as the wider Middle East war chokes the strait of Hormuz in the Gulf. Continue reading...
