South Korean authorities found Dong Guangping, a former policeman who was imprisoned in China for his activism, drifting in a small rubber boat off the coast of Taean County, in South Chungcheong Province, on Monday night, police said. He has been detained and is being questioned for allegedly violating South Korean immigration laws, the Taean coast guard said in a statement. Dong's lawyer, Kim Joo-kwang, confirmed his identity to the AFP news agency.

The Sweden Democrats would be willing to allow young people who have already received deportation orders the chance to remain in Sweden, after the Moderate Party shifted on the issue. After the issue of young adults being deported without their parents became a major national issue at the start of 2026, three years after The Local first broke the story, the ruling Tido coalition mounted a U-turn, promising to adopt a safety clause to allow more of the affected adults to stay in Sweden.

"I have a career, family and friends in the UK. My whole life is in the UK," she said, expressing her distress over the situation.

We are an apolitical organisation campaigning for the inclusion of transitional provisions in the forthcoming law on tightened requirements for Swedish citizenship. It is not asking for the rules to be abolished or made more lenient, only that the rules in force when an applicant submits their application should be the same rules their application is assessed against.

Every World Cup arrives with controversy. That is part of the tournament's DNA. Host nations worry about stadium readiness. Fans argue about ticket prices. Security planners lose sleep. What feels different this time is that the warning is not coming from activists in the stands or lawmakers in host cities. It is coming from the top of the sport's old establishment.

The scheme Congress enacted governing immigration proceedings provides Khalil a meaningful forum in which to raise his claims later on-in a petition for review of a final order of removal,

A federal appeals panel on Thursday reversed a lower court decision that released former Columbia University graduate student Mahmoud Khalil from an immigration jail, bringing the government one step closer to detaining and ultimately deporting the Palestinian activist. The three-judge panel of the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals didn't rule on the key issue in Khalil's case: whether the Trump administration's effort to throw Khalil out of the U.S. over his campus activism and criticism of Israel is unconstitutional.

A lawsuit filed Friday in Boston's federal court alleges that the suspension of casework by the Department of Homeland Security and the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services office is not authorized by immigration or administrative law. The pause has stopped people from claiming asylum, getting work authorization, renewing student visas and processing green cards. It has even pulled people out of citizenship ceremonies, the last phase of the naturalization process.

Many people born outside Ireland have deep roots in the country, whether through a parent or grandparent. If you've ever wondered whether your Irish heritage entitles you to something more official, you're not alone. Ireland has a clear path for those with familial ties, even if you've never lived there. You could be eligible to legally reconnect with your background, giving you the right to live, work, and move freely within the EU.

When I came to the bar [in the 1990s], women couldn't even wear trousers. I used to get men saying: What colour knickers are you wearing today, Lesley?' It's better now, but back then law was way worse than music in how it treated women. Woods who is now 67 still works as a barrister, specialising in immigration law, though in the last 15 years she has dipped her toes back into music, performing occasional solo gigs and self-releasing an EP, In the Fade, in early 2025.

My mother, Regina Treitler, had in fact violated the War Brides Act, but she justified her actions as the only way she could reunite her family after the Holocaust. My parents had fled Germany in 1938, right before Kristallnacht. They had saved themselves, but my mother had been tormented by the fact that her two brothers and her sister-in-law had not escape. They were trapped in Europe for the duration of the Holocaust, their fates unknown.

A federal judge late on Tuesday blocked the Trump administration from making widespread immigration arrests in the nation's capital without warrants or probable cause that the person would be an imminent flight risk. The US district judge Beryl Howell in Washington granted a preliminary injunction sought by civil liberties and immigrant rights groups in a lawsuit against the US Department of Homeland Security. Officers making civil immigration arrests generally have to have an administrative warrant.

In a San Jose courtroom on the morning of November 19, attorneys for The Stanford Daily and two anonymous international students argued that President Donald Trump's administration has used federal law as a weapon against political dissent. The lawsuit, filed against Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, asserts that the plaintiffs' First and Fifth Amendment rights have been fundamentally violated-but that it's the statutes themselves, not just the administration enforcing them, to blame.
