This escalation [in raids] puts thousands of our neighbors in extreme peril, so I believe we need to act now,

"I have not come to this decision lightly," the Tory leader said. "But it is clear that it is necessary to protect our borders, our veterans, and our citizens."

What my prosecutors felt here is that for Mr. Cai, who was exposing our victim to the human traffickers, the sex traffickers, and that's what made him qualify for pimping and pandering, said San Mateo County District Attorney Stephen Wagstaffe. He basically turned her over to the sex traffickers, who have been trafficking her on a true human trafficking level.

Mayor Barbara Lee portrayed Oakland as a city that's undergoing positive change and prepared to take on challenges during her State of the City address Tuesday before the City Council. "Oakland is on the move," she said, "and we are moving with purpose, with urgency, and we are seeing results." The annual check-up was Lee's first since she took office five months ago. Dozens of guests of Lee and members of the public filled rows of seats at City Hall for the occasion,

The government must do more to promote integration and not look away from problems out of a fear of "being labelled racists", Kemi Badenoch has told the BBC. The Conservative leader said the UK had "taken for granted the fact that we have been a fairly cohesive society" but warned "things are fragmenting". But she warned that immigration levels were too high, adding that "If people come in too quickly, it's impossible to integrate".

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

My parents named me Mwangi after my grandfather, James Mwangi Wanjau. I grew up in Nairobi, Kenya, and Mwangi is a very common name within my tribe, the Kikuyu. In 2016, at age 19, I moved from Kenya to western Canada to study, graduating with a degree in mathematics. I felt like an outsider. My name stood out: I often had to repeat it, and people struggled to remember it.

Mark Current levels of immigration are unsustainable. A lot of the people coming on small boats are honest, prepared to work, but some aren't. They could be criminals or terrorists. Yusuf Put yourself in their shoes. No one leaves a happy home, a country where they are settled and living a good life. You're talking about people who've got nothing or everything's been taken away from them. Small boat crossing is a small percentage; most of the immigration into this country is completely legal.

Though he has a work permit and two of his children are American citizens, he has operated under the administrative closure of deportation orders for much of that time. Immigration officials reopened the deportation case after his arrest on petty charges that were almost immediately dismissed while livestreaming No Kings Day protests in June. His imprisonment is among the longest for any reporter arrested in connection with their work as a journalist in United States history.

People born in 1990 are more likely to have an immigration background, and more likely to be highly educated, than the general German population. As the country marks its 35th anniversary, here's a look at how the nation's 35-year-olds are living. People who were born in 1990 are the same age as Germany itself, as that was the year in which the former countries of East- and West Germany were officially unified to form the nation as we know it today.

Benny, there is nowhere that you can provide safe haven to people who are in this country illegally, not the Super Bowl and nowhere else, Lewandowski responded. We will find you. We'll apprehend you. We will put you in a detention facility. And we will deport you. So, know that that is a very real situation under this administration, which is completely contrary to how it used to be.

Someone who says, I'm against abortion, but says, I'm in favor of the death penalty, is not really pro-life. Someone who says that I'm against abortion, but, I'm in agreement with the inhuman treatment of immigrants who are in the United States, I don't know if that's pro-life. So, they're very complex issues. I don't know if anyone has all the truth on them; but I would ask, first and foremost, that there be greater respect for one another and that we search together,

The political leadership of their party has got it into their heads that the only way to be compassionate is to be compassionate to illegal aliens, rather than American citizens, Vance said.

It was 2009, during President Barack Obama's first term, when the U.S. economy was rebounding and opportunities for well-educated workers seemed plentiful. She was bound for Dartmouth College, a top choice for many Chinese students, and later found her way to Harvard Business School. Qian embraced the American dream: the promise of equal opportunity, a country that rewards talent and hard work, and a place where global citizens like her could belong.

the commander in chief skewered Joe Biden ("this guy who had no clue"), even Biden's autopen signature ("I love my signature, everybody loves my signature," he boasted), the "sleazebags" in the "fake media," George Soros, the Democratic Party ("they don't treat you with respect, they're Democrats, they never do"), several "stupid" Democratic mayors-and touted himself as the savior of the military and the nation ("I rebuilt the military. ... I have settled so many wars. ... I know more about deals than anybody").

An anti-immigration protest will take place at Westminster, dubbed the Pink Protest, on October 1 between 10am and 2pm. The group claims to be protecting women and children and voicing women's opinions to the government. Conservative councillor Susan Hall also said that the group is fed up with illegal migrants in hotels in their communities in a Facebook post promoting the march.

About two dozen movies have topped the box office in 2025, and it's safe to say that Paul Thomas Anderson's One Battle After Another is the only one that depicts its protagonists freeing arrested immigrants from detention centers. The movie doesn't face much competition for the title of most political weekend-topper of the year; superhero pictures such as Captain America: Brave New World perpetually tell the most anodyne stories possible, even when they're supposedly about Washington-based conspiracies;

Mamdani called the policy proposal a "cornerstone" of his campaign on MSNBC's "The Weekend" on Sept. 21, while affirming his commitment to increase funding by more than $100 million for New Yorkers he said are "in urgent risk of deportation." Mamdani's ambitious platform includes commitments like free buses, rent freezes, city-owned grocery stores and a robust plan for "Trump-proofing" New York City.

A new report from Gallup out this week finds a significant increase in the public's liberal attitudes on immigration. The highlights of their report are here: 30% of Americans want immigration decreased, down from 55% a year ago A record-high 79% of adults consider immigration good for the country There's been a meaningful decrease in support for building a border wall, mass deportation

Paul Thomas Anderson is one of Hollywood's great time travelers. He took us to turn-of-the-century oil country in There Will Be Blood, the 1950s London fashion world in Phantom Thread, and the '70s San Fernando Valley, twice, in Boogie Nights and Licorice Pizza. One Battle After Another is Anderson's first film in ages set in the present day, and partly for that reason, it grabs you and even smacks you in the face in a way that his other movies haven't.

Masked men jumping out of unmarked cars; people disappearing; no due process; no oversight; zero accountability happening in the United States of America today, Newsom fumed, adding: People ask, Well is authoritarianism you being hyperbolic?' Bullsh*t we're being hyperbolic. If you're black and brown community, it's here in this country.

At least one immigration detainee was killed and two others were injured following a shooting yesterday at the Dallas Immigration and Customs Enforcement field office. The suspect is also dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Federal authorities have described the shooting as an "act of targeted violence" and "an attack" against ICE. This marks at least the third occurrence of gun violence at immigration facilities in Texas this year, as the Trump administration intensifies its crackdown on immigration.
