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 “solidarity with Rima Hassan” on X, as did Nathalie Arthaud, the spokesperson for the Trotskyist Lutte ouvrière (LO).

Two former LFI members, Alexis Corbière and Clémentine Autain, also spoke out. “A member of the European Parliament placed in police custody for a retweet? Freedom of expression applied selectively is not the Republic,” said the latter. “The disproportionate repression of expressions of support for Palestine is clear, it must stop,” 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 “relentless campaign revealing the mobilisation of the state apparatus against any solidarity with Palestine” and the Green MP Benjamin Lucas, who denounced “double standards”. Another Green MP, Sandrine Rousseau, expressed her “support” for Rima Hassan.

More surprisingly, the socialist MEP Chloé Ridel, a close ally of the Socialist Party leader Olivier Faure, also commented: “Everything 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 ‘let them all die’?”

Iran confiscates large number of Starlink satellite systems

The ministry said its operations will continue until the complete discovery of all the satellite terminals, which are all but at the enemy’s disposal.

The ministry said providing and using the illegal Starlink satellite is a “crime” and at war time, those who use it, particularly the enemy’s agents, will receive the harshest punishment.

DHS Insiders Spill What Really Got ICE Barbie Fired

The axe fell on the 54-year-old Homeland Security secretary almost immediately after her humiliating performance on Capitol Hill. Noem testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday and the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday. They were her first congressional appearances since federal agents under her command killed two U.S. citizens, Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretti, both 37, during Operation Metro Surge in Minneapolis in January.

Already facing backlash for Good’s killing when Pretti was shot dead just a few days later, Noem sparked outrage by falsely describing Pretti as a domestic terrorist—and then privately trying to pin the blame for the fiasco on White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller.

“She was blaming Miller for a lot. No way Trump lets her stay after that,” the DHS insider said.

Trump fires Homeland Security Secretary Noem after mounting criticism over her leadership

Noem has faced waves of criticism as she’s overseen Trump’s immigration crackdown, especially since the shooting deaths of the two protesters in Minneapolis at the hands of immigration enforcement officers. In the immediate aftermath of the deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, Noem portrayed both of them as aggressors, contradicting widely viewed videos and descriptions of their deaths from bystanders. She declined to apologize for her description over two days of Congressional testimony.

The former South Dakota governor was also criticized over the way her department has spent billions of dollars allocated to it by Congress.

Top Goon Kristi Noem is the face of Trump’s police state. Corey Lewandowski is the muscle. Who really runs DHS?

(September 22, 2025)

On paper, Noem sits at the top of this empire. In practice, power over immigration policy is fractured, shaped by competing factions, starting with deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller, who has vowed in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s assassination to destroy nameless forces that have conspired against the right — the long arm of law enforcement, he warned them, “will be used to find you, will be used to take away your money, take away your power, and, if you’ve broken the law, to take away your freedom.” Noem will be among those at the forefront of any such effort, surrounded by a tight inner circle that can be difficult to penetrate and often impossible to work with. “The culture over there is terrible,” the administration official told me. “People are scared shitless of Corey.”

Elmina Aghayeva, GS ’26, released from ICE custody, after Mamdani, Trump talks

Aghayeva’s release comes after Mamdani shared his concerns about her arrest with Trump, after which the president informed him “that she will be released imminently,” Mamdani wrote in a Thursday afternoon X post. Mamdani’s advocacy came during an unannounced meeting about housing with Trump at the White House.

Columbia celebrated the news in a Thursday X post, writing that it was “thrilled” about Aghayeva’s release. The University added that it would have “additional details” to share Thursday evening.

(…)

A DHS official wrote in a Thursday statement to Spectator that the DHS terminated Aghayeva’s student visa in 2016 during the administration of President Barack Obama, CC ’83, for “failing to attend classes.”

ICE arrests Columbia student, Shipman says agents lied to enter University-owned residence

(February 26, 2026)

Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents arrested Elmina “Ellie” Aghayeva, GS ’26, in a Columbia Residential building Thursday morning, after acting University President Claire Shipman, CC ’86, SIPA ’94, announced that agents had lied in order to enter a residential building and detain an affiliate.

A person with knowledge of the situation told Spectator that ICE agents impersonated New York Police Department officers in order to enter Aghayeva’s dorm.

Aghayeva’s arrest marks the fourth of a Columbia affiliate amid the federal government’s immigration crackdown, which has continued to target international students at the University.

King Charles’ Brother Andrew Released After Arrest on Suspicion of Misconduct in Public Office

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was “released under investigation” from police custody Thursday evening after being arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office.

He was photographed returning to the royal Sandringham Estate in Norfolk, England, hours after unmarked police vehicles and plain-clothed officers arrived to conduct one of two searches.

Thames Valley Police confirmed it has concluded its searches in Norfolk, but “the searches in Berkshire are still underway.”

HRCP report calls for high-level judicial inquiry into deaths resulting from CCD operations

Lahore, 17 February 2026. A fact-finding report released by the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan (HRCP) has concluded that the Crime Control Department (CCD) in Punjab has adopted a deliberate policy of staged encounters—in many cases resulting in extrajudicial killings—that fundamentally undermines the rule of law and constitutional protections in the province.

Based on reports in the press, HRCP has documented at least 670 CCD-led encounters over the course of eight months in 2025, resulting in the deaths of 924 suspects, with only two police officers killed during the same period. The extreme casualty imbalance—averaging more than two fatal encounters daily—combined with the uniformity of operational patterns across districts, indicates an institutionalized practice rather than isolated incidents of misconduct. The fact-finding mission has therefore called for an urgent high-level judicial inquiry into these deaths.

Pakistan’s Punjab police kill 900 people in eight months: What’s going on?

“They broke into our house in Bahawalpur and took everything we owned,” Zubaida told a fact-finding mission from Pakistan’s foremost rights group, the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan (HRCP).

“We followed them to Lahore and begged for our sons’ release. The next morning, five of them were dead,” she added.

When she later filed a legal petition, Zubaida says police threatened to kill whoever remained in her family if she did not withdraw it.

Her husband, Abdul Jabbar, insists his sons had no criminal records. “They were working men, married with children,” he said.

House Democrats demand DHS scrap memo allowing warrantless entry of homes

(February 3, 2026)

House Democrats on Monday demanded the Department of Homeland Security rescind a controversial directive allowing federal immigration agents to forcibly enter people’s homes without a signed warrant from a judge, following the leak of a memorandum detailing the agency’s broad assertion of law enforcement authority.

Lawmakers say the memo took “a battering ram” to the Constitution and the Fourth Amendment’s protections against unreasonable search and seizure — and pushed back on the Trump administration’s claims that non-U.S. citizens are not subject to those rights.

In a list of demands they sent to the White House last week, Schumer and House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries of New York said DHS officers should not be able to enter private property without a judicial warrant and that warrant procedures and standards should be improved. They have said they want an end to „roving patrols“ of agents who are targeting people in the streets and in their homes.

Watch Live: Bondi testifies at House hearing amid scrutiny over Epstein files

What to know about the Bondi hearing today:

– Attorney General Pam Bondi is testifying before the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday as the Justice Department continues to face questions about its handling of the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files.

– The department has published millions of pages of documents related to Epstein, a convicted sex offender who died in federal custody in 2019. But extensive redactions and the delayed nature of the release have fueled allegations that the department has failed to fulfill its obligations under the new law requiring the disclosures.

– The hearing also comes after the Justice Department tried and failed to indict six Democratic members of Congress over a video they filmed in November telling members of the military and intelligence community that they must disobey illegal orders. A grand jury declined to sign off on charges against the lawmakers on Tuesday, multiple sources told CBS News.

– Bondi is likely to face questions about investigations by the Justice Department and FBI into the shootings of Alex Pretti and Renee Good by federal immigration officers in Minnesota last month.

We Were Top Homeland Security Lawyers. You Can’t Wish Away the Fourth Amendment.

(February 2, 2026)

A warrant signed by a judge who is independent of the executive branch is a constitutional safeguard that separates legitimate law enforcement from arbitrary government power. This bedrock principle applies with equal — if not greater — force when the government is merely enforcing a civil immigration order.

Today the Department of Homeland Security seeks to justify forcible home entries on the basis of administrative warrants — warrants issued by the executive, not the judicial branch.

The agency did not specify what type of warrant officers were carrying. Judicial warrants are approved by judges, while administrative warrants are issued by immigration authorities; civil rights advocates note that administrative warrants generally do not permit officers to enter a home without consent or emergency conditions.

Thompson, who focused on the killings of two US citizens Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretti in Minnesota last month, accused DHS of “threatening our very democracy,” adding that the federal government’s refusal to investigate Good’s shooting was akin to an admission of guilt.

Minneapolis Residents Wear Their Passports, Desperate to Ward Off ICE

In the past two months, federal immigration agents have arrested thousands in the Twin Cities, detaining citizens, asylum-seekers, refugees and the undocumented. They have killed two American citizens, Renee Good and Alex Pretti. And they have stopped people seemingly at random, asking for identification or simply demanding: “Where were you born?”

Now, many people here are asking a question that is a novel one in America: Is it safe to leave home without proof of citizenship? Has the United States turned into a show-me-your-papers nation?

For many Minnesotans, the answer has been an unequivocal yes.

ICE claim that a man shattered his skull running into wall triggers tension at a Minnesota hospital

The explanation from ICE is an example of recent run-ins between immigration officers and health care workers that have contributed to mounting friction at Minneapolis hospitals. Workers at the Hennepin County facility say ICE officers have restrained patients in defiance of hospital rules and stayed at their sides for days. The agents have also lingered around the campus and pressed people for proof of citizenship.

Takeaways from AP report on ICE claims that immigrant shattered his skull running into wall

According to his lawyers, Castañeda Mondragón entered the U.S. in 2022 with valid immigration documents. Minnesota incorporation filings show he founded a company called Castaneda Construction the following year with an address listed in St. Paul. He appears to have no criminal record.

His lawyers told a court that Castañeda Mondragón was racially profiled during the crackdown, and that officers determined only after his arrest that he had overstayed his visa.

“He was a brown-skinned, Latino Spanish speaker at a location immigration agents arbitrarily decided to target,” his lawyers wrote in a petition seeking his release from ICE custody.

We’ve got 600 police officers. They have between 3,000 and 4,000 federal agents. They are saying, and I’m hopeful that they are being honest and candid, that those numbers will be significantly drawn down. They are saying that the way that ICE and Border Patrol have been conducting themselves will change dramatically. So not these marauding gangs of guys just walking down the street indiscriminately picking people up, but having more of a targeted operation. This is not about ICE doing regular ICE stuff. What we have seen feels like an invasion.

Leaked DHS Memo Reveals ICE Claiming Expansive New Warrantless Arrest Powers

Stanford University political scientist Tom Clark questioned the validity of the memo, which appears to directly conflict with the Fourth Amendment of the US Constitution, which requires search warrants as a protection against “unreasonable searches and seizures.”

“So, here’s how the law works,” he wrote. “People on whom it imposes constraints don’t get to just write themselves a memo saying they don’t have to follow the law. Maybe I’ll write myself a memo saying that I don’t have to pay my taxes this year.”

Trump and Schumer Move Toward Possible Deal to Avert a Shutdown

The Senate would pass those bills before a Friday midnight deadline, and Congress also would consider a short-term extension for homeland security operations, which would prevent an interruption of services by the Transportation Security Agency, Coast Guard and Federal Emergency Management Agency.

That stopgap bill would provide time for talks between lawmakers and the White House to draft a new homeland security spending bill that would include new restrictions that Democrats have demanded on the tactics of immigration enforcement officers and more accountability for those accused of using excessive force.
