"In 2018 when the UN high commissioner for refugees and the International Organisation for Migration agreed to provide cooking fuel across the camps in the form of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), many of these problems subsided."

After months of deportation orders that would send asylum seekers to "third-countries," where they aren't from, it appears this practice is on pause in San Francisco immigration court. None of these deportation orders, called motions to pretermit, have been filed since Friday, local immigration attorneys told Mission Local.

It is not normal for a healthy 41-year-old man to die less than 24 hours after being taken into government custody, said Shawn VanDiver, president of AfghanEvac, a San Diego-based group that helps Afghans who sought refuge in the United States after cooperating with U.S. authorities during the war in Afghanistan.

Recently, as the world becomes increasingly hostile to my community, I have been haunted by the feeling that every horizon is a wall. Last Thanksgiving, when the Trump administration terminated Temporary Protected Status for Burma, a temporary immigration pathway that over 3,000 Burmese immigrants are relying on, a friend of mine remarked that we fled a tyrant only to run into the arms of a worse one.

Federal law allows presidents to grant TPS for people in the U.S. whose home country is experiencing armed conflict, natural disasters, and other extraordinary and temporary conditions. President Trump is seeking to end that status for people from 13 countries, including Myanmar, Nepal, Honduras, Nicaragua, Afghanistan, Cameroon, Yemen, Somalia, Ethiopia, South Sudan and Venezuela.

Up to 21,000 asylum seekers who have waited for a year for their claims to be processed could be allowed to enter the jobs market so they can support themselves, the Home Office has said, as part of a package of measures to be announced on Thursday. As the government seeks to empty asylum hotels, claimants who break the law, work illegally or are found to have enough assets to live without support will from June be ejected and lose their support payments.

Citizens of Nowhere is a documentary short about stateless people in the United States individuals who, through circumstance or legal technicality, belong to no nation. Without passports, citizenship or legal recognition, they live in a state of uncertainty. From finding work and accessing education, to simply existing within a system that does not officially recognise them, stateless people face endless bureaucratic barriers.

Tony Burke says authorities know the state of mind of each of the 34 Australian women and children stuck in a Syrian detention camp, but says his options to prevent them returning to Australia are limited. The home affairs minister, who represents a south-western Sydney electorate with a high Muslim population, also warned Pauline Hanson's recent derogatory comments against Muslims in Australia could incite violence.

He was arrested because on February 15, 2025, he was out for a walk in his neighborhood when he got lost and wandered onto a woman's porch, who called the police. He was using a curtain rod as a walking stick, which officers demanded he drop. When he didn't, they tased, beat, and arrested him.

In the full glare of the world's media spotlight, Israel has been conducting its genocidal war against Palestinians in Gaza while the mass killing of civilians in Sudan has not stopped since the outbreak of that country's war in 2023. Violence is ongoing elsewhere from Myanmar's civil war to conflict in Nigeria. Drone attacks targeting noncombatants have become commonplace in Ukraine while massacres of civilians across multiple conflicts continue, including in Ethiopia, Haiti, Myanmar, Yemen all with apparent impunity.

The Common European Asylum System (CEAS) is the European Union's legal framework to create uniform, fair, and efficient standards for processing asylum applications. The system's reform, agreed in 2024, will become legally binding in Germany and throughout the EU in June, 2026. EU member states had a two-year implementation period during which the new rules including stricter border procedures were transposed into national law.

In 2025, the administration of US President Donald Trump ordered the US Agency for International Development to be closed; this year, it withdrew the country from 66 international organizations. Other Western nations that are plagued with high levels of debt and pressure to prioritize domestic challenges have slashed their foreign aid, too. According to projections, official development assistance dropped by 9-17% in 2025, amounting to some US$55 billion.

The board employs more than 50 social workers to conduct the assessments, but some children have said they are out to get them.
