Eine BestÀtigung der Behörden gibt es bislang nicht. Die Bundesanwaltschaft bestÀtigte lediglich, dass eine Person tot ist. Ob es sich dabei um Abdul B. handelt, wollte die Behörde nicht sagen. Die Nachrichtenagentur dpa bestÀtigte unter Berufung auf die Senatsinnenverwaltung, dass der TatverdÀchtiger getötet wurde.

Trumpâs DOJ says it will withdraw subpoenas targeting NY Times reporters
The Justice Department opened a leak investigation and took aggressive steps to identify the officials who spoke with The Times. Some officials were asked to turn over their cell phones at the White House, sources familiar with the matter told CNN.
Some of the subpoenas â which are court orders compelling a person to testify â were delivered by FBI agents at the reportersâ homes.
The Times publicized the legal threat right away and aggressively fought back, calling the subpoenas a âbad faith effort to harass and intimidateâ the news media.
The Justice Department said it was not targeting the reporters; it was pursuing the leakers of classified information.
Trump Administration Vows to Dismantle the International Criminal Court
(July 14, 2026)
The ICC was established by a 2002 treaty to investigate and prosecute war crimes, genocide, and crimes against humanity when a member of the treaty is unable or unwilling to prosecute the crimes on its own. The U.S. signed but never ratified the Rome Statute, and the ICC has never opened an investigation into alleged crimes committed on U.S. territory.
The court has, however, taken actions against President Donald Trumpâs ally, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. It has also opened investigations into American actions overseas, including alleged war crimes committed by U.S. personnel in Afghanistan. Some human rights organizations and legal experts have also argued that U.S. strikes on vessels in the Caribbean and Pacific and the U.S. abduction of former Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro could fall within the ICCâs jurisdiction, as Venezuela is a party to the Rome Statute. The ICC has not opened a formal investigation into the U.S. conduct.
State Department Launches Campaign to Dismantle International Criminal Courtâs Threat to American Sovereignty
(July 13, 2026)
Actions under consideration include:
– Diplomatic calls from the Secretary of State, Deputy Secretary, ambassadors, and other members of senior leadership to foreign nations highlighting the abuses of the ICC and the risks posed to Americans and other nations urging them to withdraw from the ICC
– Nations that partner with American law enforcement and the U.S. military or that enjoy the benefits of the U.S. security umbrella are called upon to reject the ICCâs purported authority to prosecute American officials and servicemen
– Increased scrutiny of nations that refuse to reject the ICCâs false authority while relying on U.S. assistance
– Diplomatic calls urging other nations that, like America, that are not party to the Rome Statute to leverage their diplomatic networks to take similar actions alongside us
– Visa revocations and travel bans for ICC personnel
– Increased sanctions against the ICC and affiliated organizations
DER MOLOCH (II): Direktive, Direktive ĂŒber alles? Das Urteil aus Karlsruhe
(March 3, 2010)
Aus BrĂŒssel heraus vollzieht sich die epochale Transformation von Staatsgebilden eines Kontinents zu einer sich selbst begrĂŒndenden Plutokratie, in einer wunderbaren Welt der Supranationalisten. Ăber einen Baustein in diesem epischen, imperialen Konstrukt, entschied gestern nun das Bundesverfassungsgericht in Karlsruhe. Es entschied, dass die âVorratsdatenspeicherungâ, die flĂ€chendeckende, anlasslose TelekommunikationsĂŒberwachung der Bevölkerung, vereinbar sei mit dem Grundgesetz. So umging das oberste Gremium der Republik einen offiziellen Staatsstreich: die Aufhebung des Grundgesetzes als Verfassung und dessen Unterordnung unter âeuropĂ€isches Rechtâ, mithin die ErklĂ€rung der Bundesrepublik als Bundesstaat der âEuropĂ€ischen Unionâ.
Supreme Court rejects Trump‘s attempt to fire Fed‘s Lisa Cook as legal battle continues
Chief Justice John Roberts wrote the opinion for the majority, joined by Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, Brett Kavanaugh and Ketanji Brown Jackson.
To accept the government‘s arguments that Mr. Trump can fire Cook „would in effect transform the Federal Reserve‘s for-cause protection into at-will employment â an interpretive leap out of step with the statute Congress enacted and our Nation‘s tradition of central banking protected from political interference,“ the chief justice wrote.
The court‘s decision is narrow and declines to define what constitutes „cause“ under the federal law that created the Fed. It said such a definition must reflect the central bank‘s „unique historical status and role.“
Supreme Court rules states can accept mail ballots after Election Day
Justice Amy Coney Barrett said it doesnât conflict with federal law, which sets âthe Tuesday next after the 1st Monday in Novemberâ as the âday for the election.â
âThe election-day statutes say nothing about ballot receipt, and we cannot add to the words Congress chose,â Barrett wrote.
She and Chief Justice John Roberts joined the courtâs three liberal justices in the majority. The courtâs four other conservative justices dissented.
Supreme Court rejects Trump‘s appeal of 2022 E. Jean Carroll defamation case
The Supreme Court has denied President Donald Trump‘s appeal of the $5 million jury finding in the 2022 defamation case brought against him by the writer E. Jean Carroll.
The denial means the judgment against Trump stands and that he will have to pay it.
Supreme Court won‘t hear Trump‘s appeal of E. Jean Carroll sexual abuse case
The writer E. Jean Carroll triumphed over President Trump on Monday when the Supreme Court refused to consider overturning a jury‘s verdict that he was liable for sexually abusing and defaming her.
The unanimous federal jury found that a preponderance of evidence supported Carroll‘s claim that Mr. Trump sexually abused her during a mid-1990s encounter in a New York City department store. Mr. Trump did not attend the 2023 civil trial, and his attorneys called no witnesses before the jury awarded Carroll $5 million.
What a UK courtâs backing of the Palestine Action âterrorâ ban means
How has Palestine Action responded to the ruling?
In a statement read by a representative following the ruling, Palestine Actionâs Ammori said the group will challenge the judgement in the UKâs Supreme Court.
âWe will fight this all the way. We will seek permission to appeal to the Supreme Court and, if need be, take this to the European Court of Human Rights,â Ammori said.
The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR), established by the Council of Europe, allows individuals to hold member states accountable for rights violations through a dedicated court. When the ECHR finds a violation, its judgements are legally binding on the state concerned under the European Convention on Human Rights.
âWe will not stop fighting to overturn one of the most extreme attacks on free speech and the right to protest in modern British history,â Ammori added.
âThis unprecedented abuse of power has devastated the lives of thousands of people while silencing dissent over Israelâs slaughter of the Palestinian people during the genocide, when that dissent could not be more urgent.â
Palestine Action ban is lawful, Court of Appeal rules
(today)
The government‘s proscription of Palestine Action as a terror organisation is lawful, the Court of Appeal has ruled.
In one of the most significant rulings on national security in recent years, five of the most senior judges in the country overturned an earlier decision from the High Court that the ban had breached the right to protest and had been incorrectly taken by ministers.
But five Court of Appeal judges concluded in a hearing on Monday that the ban had been „justified and proportionate“.
Pro-Palestine activists sentenced as terrorists over damage at Israeli arms factory in UK
(June 12, 2026)
A report relied on by the prosecution at Fridayâs sentencing hearing said the raid on the factory had caused ÂŁ1.2m of damage, including to 41 military assets. The report referred to ÂŁ395,056 of damage to six units in an unnamed drone system as well as damage to other unmanned aerial vehicles.
Mr Justice Johnson told the four they had participated in a âcarefully planned and highly sophisticated attackâ, adding: âThe fact that you were trying to shut down a company that you thought was acting unlawfully does not reduce the seriousness of the offence.â
McIver Speaks out Against Unlawful Abuse Against Protestors and Detainees at Delaney
(May 28, 2026)
âIâm hearing from advocates and families on the ground reports of ICE pepper spraying and beating detainees inside Delaney Hall. I have seen the horrific conditions and spoken to those inside about the disgusting food, lack of medical care, and violent and unsanitary conditions as recently as this week. With demoted former USCBP Commander Greg Bovinoâs announcement that he is coming to Newark today and his threats online to tear gas our community, I have even more concern that he will only escalate the chaos at Delaney,â said McIver. âMore ICE violence has never made a situation safer. The only solution to stop the abuse at Delaney Hall and quell this terror nationwide is to shut down the facility and abolish ICE. We will keep standing up to this administrationâs terror campaign and we will keep fighting for justice.â
On Monday, McIver made her fourth visit to Delaney Hall. The chaos created by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) during McIverâs first visit to Delaney Hall, led to the Trump administration bringing baseless charges against her for conducting oversight. Her second visit came on the heels of the death of Jean Wilson Brutus in ICE custody. Her third visit was following the release of the S.O.S. letter signed by 300 detainees.
Rep. LaMonica McIver charged with assault after Newark mayorâs arrest outside ICE facility
(May 19, 2025)
In a clip released by the Department of Homeland Security, McIver can be seen on the facility side of a chain-link fence before crossing through the gate and joining a crowd shouting „surround the mayor.“ Video shows McIver pressing forward in the crowd, with her elbows making contact with a federal officer.
Homeland Security said the charge followed a „thorough review“ of the footage and an investigation by Homeland Security Investigations.
Court blocks Alabama congressional map, saying state intentionally discriminated by race
The panel of three judges instead ordered Alabama to continue using a court-selected map that includes two majority-Black districts. Those congressional district lines were used in the 2024 elections.
In their decision, the judges found that the redistricting plan adopted by Alabama‘s GOP-led legislature in 2023, which state officials sought to reimplement for this year‘s House contests, intentionally discriminated on the basis of race, in violation of the Constitution‘s 14th Amendment.
Vor Zwischenwahlen in den USA: Doppel-Niederlage fĂŒr Trump im Streit um Wahlkreiszuschnitte
US-PrĂ€sident Trump hat im Streit um Wahlkreiszuschnitte, die seine Republikaner begĂŒnstigen, Niederlagen erlitten. In South Carolina blockierten demokratische und republikanische Senatoren eine neue Wahlkreisaufteilung. In Alabama stoppte ein Gericht eine Neuordnung.
US removes sanctions on UN Palestinian rights expert after judge cites free speech
The Trump administration imposed the sanctions after accusing Albanese of âbiased and malicious activitiesâ and âlawfare,â including recommending that the International Criminal Court issue arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former defence minister, Yoav Gallant.
âIt is undisputed that her recommendations have no binding effect on the ICCâs actions â they are nothing more than her opinion,â Leon said in his decision.
US federal judge blocks sanctions against UN expert on Palestine
(May 15, 2026)
Judge Leon made preliminary findings that President Donald Trumpâs administration likely violated Albaneseâs right to free speech by imposing sanctions against her. In his 26-page decision, he discussed the applicability of the First Amendment to Albanese, including an extensive discussion of the significance of free expression. He wrote:
Albanese has done nothing more than speak! It is undisputed that her recommendations have no binding effect on the ICCâs actionsâthey are nothing more than her opinion⊠Finally, protecting the freedom of speech is âalwaysâ in the public interest⊠Indeed, the âproudest boastâ of our First Amendment is that it protects the freedom to express even âthe thought that we hate.â Enough said.
Judge overturns US sanctions on UN official who called for war crimes prosecutions over Gaza
(May 13, 2026)
Secretary of State Marco Rubio imposed the sanctions on Francesca Albanese, the United Nations special rapporteur for Palestinian human rights, last July under an executive order President Donald Trump signed authorizing such actions against people âdirectly engagedâ in the International Criminal Courtâs investigations related to alleged atrocities in Gaza.
However, in a ruling Wednesday, U.S. District Judge Richard Leon said the administrationâs sanctions against Albanese violate the First Amendment because theyâre based solely on her encouraging the ICC to investigate and prosecute.
Germany: Trial of ‚Ulm Five‘ protesters accused of Elbit break-in postponed
Known by the name „Ulm Five“, the activists allegedly entered the factory on the 8 September 2025 by smashing a glass facade and subsequently destroyed office equipment, including computers, screens and telephones.
Shortly after, the five were arrested and have since been held in pretrial detention in different prisons across southern Germany.
âExtraordinarily far-reachingâ Palestine Action trial gets underway in Germany
(April 28, 2026)
In the early hours of Sept. 8, 2025, a group of activists wearing black hoodies that bore the red and white logo of Palestine Action broke into the offices of Israeli arms manufacturer Elbit Systems in Ulm, southern Germany.
Once inside the compound, according to prosecutors, they damaged and partly destroyed furniture, windows, and technical equipment with axes; sprayed slogans on the walls; lit pyrotechnics; and chanted âFree, free Palestineâ and âGermany finances, Israel bombs.â As visible from the activistsâ own filming of the break-in, no one was harmed during the action. They remained on site and called the police, who later detained them.
Since their arrest, the five activists â Daniel Tatlow-Devally (an Irish citizen), Leandra Rollo (a Spanish citizen), Crow Tricks and Zo Hailu (British citizens), and Vi Kovarbasic (a German citizen) â have been held in pre-trial detention in separate prisons across southern Germany.
Israeli court extends detention of two Gaza flotilla activists until May 10
„I am convinced that there is reasonable suspicion,“ Judge Yaniv Ben-Haroush concluded after hearing parties‘ arguments in granting the âextension.
Lawyers for human rights group Adalah had argued during the hearing that the allegations were baseless and there were no legal grounds for the continued detention of the two men.
They said no formal charges have been filed, and their detention was for purposes of ongoing interrogation.
Israeli court extends detention of 2 Gaza-bound flotilla volunteers
However, their lawyers argued that âthe entire legal process is fundamentally flawed and illegal,â the statement added.
No charges have been filed against either activists and they remain under interrogation at the pre-indictment stage, the group said.
Israeli court extends detention of two Gaza aid flotilla activists by two days
Spainâs foreign minister on Saturday called for the immediate release of Saif Abukeshek, a dual Spanish-Swedish citizen of Palestinian origin, who was detained for questioning in Israel on Saturday along with Thiago Ăvila of Brazil. A legal aid group said both men had launched a hunger strike. Dozens of other activists were picked up by the Greek coast guard following the Israeli action and taken to the island of Crete.

Supreme Court rules on key Voting Rights Act rule as Republicans and Democrats wage redistricting war
Republican National Committee (RNC) Chair Joe Gruters praised the ruling in a statement provided to Fox News Digital, describing it as a „win for fairness, the rule of law, and anyone who opposes racial gerrymandering.“
„The American people donât want to see Americans segregated by race in their congressional maps, which is exactly what was happening in Louisiana,“ he added. „Today, the Supreme Court reaffirmed a basic constitutional principle: the government cannot discriminate on the basis of race when drawing congressional maps.
DNC Chair Ken Martin, meanwhile, lamented the ruling as a „dark day for America,“ adding that the „Supreme Court just rolled back the clock on the Civil Rights Movement.“
Live Coverage: Louisiana v. Callais SCOTUS Decision
The Supreme Court just struck down a Louisiana map that fairly represents Black voters, gutting Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act.
In major Voting Rights Act case, Supreme Court strikes down redistricting map challenged as racially discriminatory
The decision was the latest, and presumably final, chapter in a long-running dispute arising from Louisianaâs efforts to adopt a new congressional map in the wake of the 2020 census. The first map that the state adopted, in 2022, had one majority-Black district out of the six allotted to the state. A group of Black voters â who comprise roughly one-third of the stateâs population â went to federal court, where they alleged that the map violated Section 2 of the VRA, which prohibits discrimination in voting.
A federal judge agreed that the 2022 map likely violated Section 2, and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit upheld that ruling. It instructed Louisiana to draw a new map by January 2024 or risk having the court adopt one for it.
The map that Louisiana drew in 2024 created a second majority-Black district, leading to the election in November of that year of Cleo Fields, a former member of Congress who had represented another majority-Black district during the 1990s.
The map also prompted the lawsuit leading to Wednesdayâs opinion. It was filed by a group of ânon-African Americanâ voters who contended that the 2024 map violated the Constitutionâs equal protection clause by sorting voters based on race.

(October 12, 2016)
– Marc Turi ‚had plan to get arms to Libyan rebels in 2011 despite UN ban‘
– But he says Clinton stole the idea and she and CIA did it without him
– However the guns ‚then went to Al Qaeda, ISIS and Benghazi attackers‘
– They tried to scapegoat him by saying he sold the arms illegally, he says
– But he claims that he never sold anything in Libya
– The five-year, $10m case was dropped last week by prosecutors
– He says they didn‘t want to press on because it would compromise Clinton
– The trial would have started on November 8 – which is Election Day
– Turi also hinted at information on weapons that disappeared in Benghazi
Trump asks Iran to release 8 women ahead of negotiations
âTo the Iranian leaders, who will soon be in negotiations with my representatives: I would greatly appreciate the release of these women. I am sure that they will respect the fact that you did so. Please do them no harm! Would be a great start to our negotiations!!!â he said on Truth Social with a screenshot of photos of eight women.
One of the pictured women has previously been identified by Fox News and others as Bita Hemmati, a female protester tied to the January 2026 uprising in Tehran. Itâs unclear who the other women are, but Trump has criticized the Iranian regime for the imprisonment and execution of protestors.
Questions persist over prosecution of radical-left French MEP Rima Hassan for ‚condoning terrorism‘
(April 4, 2026)
On Thursday, expressions of support came almost entirely from LFI and the far-left. For the anti-capitalist NPA, Olivier Besancenot expressed his âsolidarity with Rima Hassanâ on X, as did Nathalie Arthaud, the spokesperson for the Trotskyist Lutte ouvriĂšre (LO).
Two former LFI members, Alexis CorbiĂšre and ClĂ©mentine Autain, also spoke out. âA member of the European Parliament placed in police custody for a retweet? Freedom of expression applied selectively is not the Republic,â said the latter. âThe disproportionate repression of expressions of support for Palestine is clear, it must stop,â wrote the former.
On Friday, a handful of elected representatives from other parties began to join the chorus of criticism, including the communist MP Elsa Faucillon, who deplored a ârelentless campaign revealing the mobilisation of the state apparatus against any solidarity with Palestineâ and the Green MP Benjamin Lucas, who denounced âdouble standardsâ. Another Green MP, Sandrine Rousseau, expressed her âsupportâ for Rima Hassan.
More surprisingly, the socialist MEP ChloĂ© Ridel, a close ally of the Socialist Party leader Olivier Faure, also commented: âEverything about the police custody imposed on the European Member of Parliament Rima Hassan is disproportionate and violates her parliamentary immunity, whatever our disagreements. Was Louis Sarkozy [editor‘s note, son of former president Nicolas Sarkozy and a political commentator] placed in custody when he said about Palestinians âlet them all dieâ?â
Four Arrested in Protest at Knesset Against Death Penalty Law for Palestinians, Petitions to Supreme Court
The Association for Civil Rights in Israel (ACRI) filed a petition with the Supreme Court demanding the repeal of the âDeath Penalty for Terrorists Lawâ, minutes after it passed its second and third readings in the Knesset. On Tuesday morning, Adalah â The Legal Center for Arab Minority Rights in Israel, the Public Committee Against Torture in Israel (PCATI), HaMoked: Center for the Defense of the Individual, Physicians for Human Rights and Gisha, together with Hadash-Taâal MKs Aida Touma-Sliman, Ayman Odeh, and Ahmed Tibi, filed a second urgent petition to the Israeli Supreme Court, demanding that the âDeath Penalty for Terrorists Lawâ be declared null and void. The petitioners argue that the law represents a complete negation of the right to life and imposes cruel and inhuman punishment.
âAll those who supported, let alone proposed this bill, should be tried by The Hague.â Ofer Cassif, a member of the Israeli Knesset, has condemned the death penalty bill approved on Monday for Palestinian detainees, labeling it a âgenocide lawâ

Alexander brothersâ judge orders US to withhold Epstein-linked material during sex trafficking trial
(February 3, 2026)
â[T]he United States must not release any document or material from the purported âEpstein Filesâ that mentions or references any of the above-listed Defendants [Alon, Oren and Tal Alexander], explicitly or implicitly, before a jury verdict has been rendered in this case,â Caproniâs order says.
Caproni ordered U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York Jay Clayton to sign off on having notified U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi about her order, as well as the U.S. deputy attorney general and U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Florida.
