As part of a UK crackdown on immigration, most international students have been prevented from bringing their dependants. Shortly after Houbi's story, the UK government made a U-turn on its policy, stating it would support the evacuation of dependants on a case-by-case basis. Houbi and her family have now reached Jordan and will shortly travel to the UK. They are the only family travelling together from Gaza whose evacuation the British government has facilitated.

She went inside, while her husband remained outside, but an unexpected message informed him that he, too, had to enter the building. At that moment, the officers told them that one of them was going to be deported, but that the couple had to choose who it would be. She said she would leave because he was the one who worked and supported the household. In the end, it was the mother who remained in the United States.

Tony Vara's feed is so eclectic that it's hard to describe. It feels like peak Gen Z. There are videos where he rants about Love Island. There are "get ready with me" posts where he's doing his makeup before going out. But he's also been working his way through the Bible-reviewing it like it's any other piece of content. He can clearly talk about anything.

He has not been summoned to appear in court; he is going as an observer for the pro-immigrant organization American Friends Service Committee. He has been doing this since May, when the first reports of immigrants being seized by ICE agents in immigration courts surfaced, including violent scenes and families being separated by masked officers. In a waiting room where several grave-looking individuals are holding folders filled with papers, the hearing calendar is taped to the wall.

Ferreira's attorney said his client came to the U.S. under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program. She's in the process of actually getting her residency and she was abruptly arrested and taken from her young child right before Thanksgiving, her attorney Todd Pomerleau told WCVB, which published a statement from a source familiar with the situation. This individual is the mother of Karoline's nephew and they have not spoken in many years, the source said.

Out in the middle of the Mojave Desert and surrounded by Joshua trees, marijuana dispensaries and razor wire, the remote Adelanto ICE Processing Center is a difficult place to visit. The facility, roughly 85 miles northeast of Los Angeles, is on a road splintered with cracks and potholes. Once there, some wait for hours to see their loved ones. If a visitor happens to be wearing anything forbidden by the dress code say a crop top, or shorts that rise above the mid-thigh they won't get to see them at all.

Just 90 miles of open ocean separate Andy Pages' boyhood home in Mantua, Cuba, from the southern tip of the Florida Keys. Yet the short distance between those two points is unbridgeable. Politics has separated Cuba and the U.S. for most of the last 65 years, the last vestiges of a Cold War policy that has divided families and hurt people on both sides of the Straits of Florida far more than it has punished the Cuban government.

Ibtisam and her brother Raed Imran had come to Ramallah two days ago, after they got a call from Muhammad from the Israeli prison where he was held, telling them that he would be among the prisoners to be released to the West Bank. But when they arrived at the cultural centre on Monday, they were told that Muhammad was on the list, yes, but that he was among the more than 100 prisoners whom Israel had decided to exile from Palestine.

Events and facts in the news inform the framework of my next show and the discussion with my next guest. I develop a clear picture of how the topics of the day fit into my own leadership philosophy and practice and what my audience is likely to be thinking about. Understanding the news allows me to adjust the closing remarks of every show, helping each of my listeners to unlock the resilient leader they already are.

If Harris did feel sophomore jitters, then Amity, his 2025 follow-up, certainly doesn't show them. This is a smart, sensitive and very assured novel, albeit one that doesn't stray radically from the winning formula of its predecessor. Once again, Harris takes the Reconstruction-era deep south as his setting, and African American characters, recently and tenuously liberated from slavery are the driving force of his narrative.

Carlos, the main subject, is one such case: originally from Mexico, he crossed the border at the age of nine with his three brothers and his parents. Now in his late 30s, Carlos has spent all of his adult life in America, yet there is no legal pathway for him to citizenship. A tragedy looms large. Jorge, one of Carlos's siblings, was deported to Mexico after a minor driving offence, leaving behind his partner and his son.
