Mahmoud Khalil describes pain of missing son’s birth in latest court filing

Mohamoud Khalil

Mahmoud Khalil, the detained Columbia University graduate and Palestinian activist, has said in a new court filing that the “most immediate and visceral harms” he has experienced during his nearly three-month detention have been missing the birth of his son and being separated from his wife.

“Instead of holding my wife’s hand in the delivery room, I was crouched on a detention center floor, whispering through a crackling phone line as she labored alone,” Khalil said. “I listened to her pain, trying to comfort her while 70 other men slept around me. When I heard my son’s first cries, I buried my face in my arms so no one would see me weep.

“To not be able to see them, hold them, speak with them freely, enjoy everything I imagined our first days as a family would be like, is devastating,” he wrote about the birth in late April.

Judge blocks deportation of Boulder attacker's family

Soliman

A federal judge on Wednesday ordered the government to immediately halt deportation proceedings against the wife and five children of a man charged in the firebombing attack in Boulder, Colorado, responding to what the judge called an urgent situation to ensure the protection of the family's constitutional rights.

U.S. District Judge Gordon P. Gallagher granted a request from the family of Mohamed Sabry Soliman to block their deportation, after U.S. immigration officials took them into federal custody Tuesday.

"The court finds that deportation without process could work irreparable harm and an order must issue without notice due to the urgency this situation presents," Gallagher wrote in the order.

Guatemalan man deported to Mexico flown back to US after judge’s orders

Guatemalan man flown back

A Guatemalan man who said he was deported to Mexico despite fearing he would be persecuted there was flown back to the US on Wednesday after a judge ordered the Trump administration to facilitate his return, his lawyer said.

Brian Murphy, a US district judge in Boston, Massachusetts, had ordered the man’s return after the US Department of Justice notified him that its claim that the man had expressly stated he was not afraid of being sent to Mexico was based on erroneous information.

In a court order last month, Murphy found that the deportation of the man, identified in legal filings only as OCG, likely “lacked any semblance of due process”.

A lawyer for OCG, Trina Realmuto, told the Guardian on Wednesday evening shortly after the man landed in Los Angeles: “We can confirm that OCG landed in the US a few hours ago. He made contact with the legal team while waiting in line to go through immigration. We expect that he will be detained, but we don’t know where yet. If DHS again seeks to deport him to a third country, the judge’s order requires that he be given due process, including notice and the opportunity to present a fear-based claim.”

Ms. Rachel says she’ll keep advocating for children in Gaza, even if it means risking her career

Ms. Rachel Ms. Rachel, the YouTube personality who has become wildly popular among toddlers, says she’s willing to “risk her career” to stand up for children in war-torn Gaza.

Ms. Rachel, whose full name is Rachel Accurso, is a children's educator who has become a sort of modern-day Mr. Rogers — with denim overalls, a pink headband and a cheery smile.

She has billions of views on YouTube, where her videos and songs focus on language development.

Recently, even Netflix began streaming some of her episodes.

But she has made headlines in recent weeks for speaking out on her other social media platforms about children living inside Gaza. Her comments have sparked backlash from people who say she has not spent as much time talking about Israeli children.

Biden State Department Spokesman Now Says Israel Is Committing War Crimes

Matt Miller

Former State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller says that he personally believes Israel has been committing war crimes against the Palestinian people — including during his tenure in the Biden administration, where, as a major voice of U.S. foreign policy, he daily defended Israel’s flattening of Gaza to the American public.

Speaking to Sky News’ Mark Stone on the “Trump 100” podcast, Miller said on Monday that it is “without a doubt true that Israel has committed war crimes” in the territory. When Stone asked if he held this belief while serving as spokesperson, he said yes.

These are the safest places in America for gay and transgender people

Safest states for transgender people

As Oklahoman legislators push to restrict trans rights and overturn the 2015 Supreme Court decision legalizing gay marriage, Zane Eaves says his identity as a transgender man has put a target on his back in his home state.

One of 18,900 trans adults in Oklahoma, Eaves has received death threats as has his wife of 10 years and their two children.

“All the hatred and political stuff going on” are driving this Oklahoma lifer from the place he was born and raised, Eaves, 35, said. He has only crossed the state line three times in his life, but in recent weeks, he made the difficult decision to move his family to North Carolina to be closer to friends and allies.

“I am just trying to stay alive and keep my marriage,” Eaves said.

Oklahoma ranks 44th in the nation on a list released Monday of the most and least welcoming states for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer Americans.
