Trump plans to withdraw the U.S. from the United Nations Human Rights Council

Trump to withdraw from UN Human Rights Council

On Tuesday, President Trump will sign an executive order that will pull the U.S. out of the United Nations Human Rights Council, according to a White House official who was not authorized to speak publicly ahead of the announcement.

During his first term as president, Trump also cut ties with the UNHRC, an organization that U.S. leaders from both parties have long said has a bias against Israel.

The order will also cut future funding to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency, which provides aid to Palestinians. The Biden administration paused funding to UNRWA while the war between Israel and Hamas was ongoing, after accusations from Israel that some staffers from the agency had ties to Hamas. But an independent review found that there was no evidence to back that up. UNRWA is the main agency providing relief to Palestinians in Gaza.r

Trump revokes deportation protections for 300,000 Venezuelans in US – report

protections revokedd for Venezuelans

The Trump administration has stepped up its attack on Venezuelans living in the US under temporary deportation protections, revoking the right to stay of more than 300,000 people.

Now Trump has targeted a subset of that Venezuelan immigrant community who entered the TPS program in 2023, obtaining the right to remain in the US until at least April. Having revoked their protections, the Trump administration is giving that group of more than 300,000 Venezuelans just 60 days before they become vulnerable to deportation.

A further 250,000 Venezuelans who arrived in 2021 have TPS protections until September. Their position beyond that date must now be considered to be in severe jeopardy.

Gaza’s Border Crossing With Egypt Reopening to Let Sick and Wounded Leave

Egyptians at Rafah border

Gaza’s border with Egypt is reopening to allow sick and wounded Palestinians to leave, officials said Friday, after more than eight months during which many who have needed medical care were trapped.

Reopening the crossing at Rafah, which has long been Gaza’s lifeline to the outside world, is a key stipulation of the cease-fire deal between Israel and Hamas. Mediators hope that the agreement, which has begun with a 42-day cease-fire and hostage-for-prisoner swaps, will ultimately end the devastating 15-month-long war in Gaza.

Trump Signs Order To Deport Foreign Students Who Support Palestinian Freedom

Foreign students face deportationPresident Donald Trump signed an executive order on Wednesday that would cancel visas and deport international students who have expressed support for Palestinians — the administration’s latest effort to both target immigrants and crack down on free speech, particularly on college campuses.

The fact sheet for the president’s order describes the move as a means to address antisemitism, directing the Justice Department to prosecute “terroristic threats, arson, vandalism and violence against American Jews” and to use the necessary federal resources to fight what it called an “explosion of antisemitism” since Hamas’ deadly attack on Israel in October 2023.

Trump revives push to denaturalize US citizens

revoking citizenshipIt used to be that immigrants who earned U.S. citizenship could only see it taken away if they hid their Nazi past, had ties to terrorists, or lied on their application – fewer than a dozen people per year.

That changed during President Donald Trump's first administration when he led a campaign to denaturalize thousands of immigrant U.S. citizens – though it never met its goals. Last week, Trump rebooted the effort, ordering "adequate resources" be spent to denaturalize some U.S. citizens as part of his broader plan to restrict immigration.

Tucked among the priorities listed in his Day 1 executive orders was a one-line reference to enforcing a section of immigration law under which the government can revoke an immigrant's U.S. citizenship if it was "unlawfully procured."

The man who revealed Auschwitz's atrocities to the world

The man who revealed Auschwitz

One man's daring mission to infiltrate Auschwitz revealed its atrocities to the world – this is his story.

On 27 January 1945, prisoners at the main camp of Auschwitz watched as the soldiers of the First Ukrainian Front came and opened the gates under the mocking words of "Arbeit Macht Frei" ("Work Makes Freedom"). After more than four years of terror, they were finally being set free.

This year marks the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the most notorious war-time concentration camp in the world, where more 1.1 million people, mostly Jews, were murdered on these grounds.

Churches have a long history of being safe havens — for immigrants and others

Churches as sanctuaries

U.S. churches — once deemed off-limits to immigration authorities due to their "sensitive" status within communities — now face the prospect of federal agents arresting migrants within their walls, under a new Trump administration policy.

The new approach, which President Trump spoke of in a December interview, also applies to schools. The administration said it will trust agents to "use common sense" when enforcing immigration laws.

It's an abrupt about-face for federal policies that had hewn much closer to decades and centuries of tradition. Migrants have long found support systems in houses of worship, including some churches that 40 years ago became sanctuaries for people facing deportation.

In the 1800s, U.S. churches gave safe harbor to enslaved people; during the Vietnam War, they sheltered people resisting the military draft.
