There are few laws President Trump name-checks more frequently than the Insurrection Act. A 200-year-old constellation of statutes, the act grants emergency powers to thrust active-duty soldiers into civilian police duty, something otherwise barred by federal law. Trump and his team have threatened to invoke it almost daily for weeks - most recently on Monday, after a reporter pressed the president about his escalating efforts to dispatch federalized troops to Democrat-led cities.

Peru's Congress approved the removal of President Dina Boluarte in the early hours of Friday morning after launching an expedited impeachment process. The legislature had summoned the head of state to appear immediately that same night to present her defense before the vote, but she refused, calling the procedure unconstitutional. The four motions, filed under the constitutional charge of permanent moral incapacity, were passed thanks to votes from right-wing parties and Popular Force (FP), which had until now supported Boluarte.

It is hard to say when, exactly, the militarization of American life began. Troops have marched through towns and cities for centuries, called upon, at various points, to menace civilians or violently suppress protests. Fifty-five years ago, National Guardsmen shot and killed four unarmed college students at Kent State University; the troops had arrived to choke off protests against the Vietnam War.

When Matt Ross took the Nepal national football team job earlier this year, he knew there would be tough times ahead. Nepal's mountainous terrain draws millions of tourists each year, but it has also made sporting progress difficult. Hamstrung by its terrain, football pitches are so scarce that the main national competition the Nepal Super League must be played over one month at a single venue: the Dasharath Stadium in Kathmandu.

A federal judge has blocked the Trump administration from deploying the national guard to Portland, Oregon, according to court documents. Donald Trump had announced on 27 September that he would deploy troops to Portland, authorizing Full Force, if necessary, ignoring pleas from local officials and the state's congressional delegation, who suggested that the president was misinformed or lying about the nature and scale of a single, small protest outside one federal immigration enforcement office.

We have many cities in great shape, too, by the way. I want you to know that. But it seems that the ones that are run by the radical left Democrats, what they've done to San Francisco, Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, they're very unsafe places. And we're going to straighten them out one by one. And this is going to be a major part for some of the people in this room. That's a war, too. It's a war from within.

At least three people have been killed and five were injured in a fire blamed on protesters at a regional parliament building in eastern Indonesia, as widespread demonstrations rock the Southeast Asian nation. Indonesia's disaster management agency, in a statement on Saturday, confirmed the deaths following the Friday evening fire in Makassar, the capital of South Sulawesi province, some 1,600km (994 miles) east of the capital, Jakarta.

"We went unarmed against bayonets," Vrebac told DW. "I feel, personally, as do other citizens who regularly attend protests, very upset, insecure, and unsafe, and that is a consequence of living under fascism, with all its manifestations."

Cops are neither inherently heroic nor abusive. They are individuals.

Protesters hoped for real change after 15 years of undemocratic governance, but political instability looms as groups jostle for power and reforms falter.

Braverman stated, "It just shows what a farce our asylum system has become. There are violent, organised criminals who are playing our system and making a lot of money on the backs of others to get into our country illegally."

The music of the duo Zoj, featuring Gelareh Pour, has provided solace amidst the bleakness of the world, contrasting with the pain conveyed by social media algorithms.

Rep. Mike Collins attributed the civil unrest in 2020 to former President Joe Biden, suggesting it was exacerbated during his administration, and criticized the perceived lawlessness during that time.

Amid prolonged civil unrest protesting the Trump administration's treatment of immigrants, organizers of the Sabaidee Fest postponed the event out of care for community safety.

The events occurring in Missouri's major cities have created conditions of distress that local jurisdictions cannot manage, necessitating state intervention to ensure public safety.

I don't think that the president had any choice... The president did what he had to do.

Saraí Ortiz reflected on the stark reality of her father's arrest, noting, 'You know this is a possibility all your life, but then when it happens, it plays out differently than what you think.'
