„Federal Invasion“: Minnesota Officials Condemn Violent ICE Raids, Arrests

(January 14, 2025)

Trump‘s immigration enforcement surge continues to rock Minnesota, just a week after the ICE shooting of Renee Good, a mother of three and U.S. citizen in Minneapolis. The Minnesota Star Tribune reports that the number of federal agents now in Minneapolis and Saint Paul outstrips the 10 largest Twin Cities metro police departments combined. „We don‘t want ICE in our neighborhoods. They are violent, they are creating chaos and terrorizing our immigrant neighbors, and they are not keeping anyone safe,“ says vice president of the Saint Paul City Council, Hwa Jeong Kim, who comments on the city‘s new lawsuit against the Trump administration, the loss of temporary protected status for thousands of Somali immigrants in the United States, plans for a general strike in Minneapolis and more.

Hours After US Citizen Shot Dead by ICE, JD Vance Says ‘Door-to-Door’ Operations Are Coming

“This is starting to look disturbingly like Germany in the 1930s.”

Just hours after an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer shot and killed an unarmed US citizen in Minneapolis on Wednesday, Vice President JD Vance said the agency would soon be going “door to door” across the country to escalate the Trump administration’s mass deportation crusade in the coming year.

Ex-aide says Netanyahu ordered him to help evade public responsibility for the October 7 attack

(December 26, 2025)

Speaking to Kan, Feldstein said, “the first task” he received from Netanyahu after October 7, 2023, was to stifle calls for accountability.

“He asked me, ‘What are they talking about in the news? Are they still talking about responsibility?‘” Feldstein said. “He wanted me to think of something that could be said that would offset the media storm surrounding the question of whether the prime minister had taken responsibility or not.”

He added that Netanyahu looked “panicked” when he made the request. Feldstein said he was later told by people in Netanyahu’s close circle to omit the word “responsibility” from all statements.

Netanyahu’s ex-aide says PM was ‘behind’ leak of intel to Bild and lied about it later

(December 24, 2025)

“[Netanyahu] is the one who ultimately was behind the leak,” Feldstein said emphatically, adding that he told interrogators the same thing repeatedly after his arrest and eventual indictment over the matter.

The document in question was an internal Hamas memo purporting to show that the terror group wasn’t interested in the compromises necessary to reach a hostage deal. After it was leaked to the Bild, Netanyahu used it to argue that only further military pressure would lead to the release of the hostages.

Qatargate resurfaces: What was really happening inside Netanyahu‘s office?

(December 26, 2025)

Because what Feldstein portrayed was an office where Chief of Staff Tzachi Braverman allegedly said he could block an IDF investigation, where Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu winked at circumventing the censor by releasing sensitive information to a foreign newspaper, and where officials close to Netanyahu were in the pay of Qatar and pushing favorable messages about that Hamas-supporting state during a time of war.

It wasn’t an accounting of a single bad decision, but of an environment where lines were blurred and manipulation of the public, via the press, ruled the day.

The DOJ is breaking the law by not releasing the full Epstein files. This is not transparency. This is just more coverup by Donald Trump and Pam Bondi. They need to release all the files, NOW.

Trump responds to „traitor“ Marjorie Taylor Greene after „60 Minutes“ interview

Her relationship with Mr. Trump began to sour over records related to Jeffrey Epstein. Epstein was facing federal sex trafficking charges when he died by suicide in 2019.

Greene told „60 Minutes“ that after the president called her a traitor, she received a bomb threat on her house — and then, „several direct death threats on my son.“

Asked about her claim that the president was to blame for the threats to her and her son, Greene replied, „The subject line for the direct death threats on my son was his words: „Marjorie Traitor Greene.“

Former MAGA loyalist Marjorie Taylor Greene says Trump policies are not America First

The affordability of health insurance caused Greene to side with the Democrats during the government shutdown in support of extending health care subsidies.

The Georgia representative said she never imagined she would be standing with Democrats on the Affordable Care Act subsidies.

Greene is also the only Republican member of Congress to publicly characterize the war in Gaza as a „genocide“ and she has also voted against the Antisemitism Awareness Act. She said she‘s voted to denounce antisemitism before.

„It becomes an exercise that they force on Congress, and I simply got tired of it,“ she said, later adding, „We don‘t have to get on our knees and say it over and over again.“

Greene is one of the few Republicans willing to take on Mr. Trump.

Lawmakers Suggest Follow-Up Boat Strike Could Be a War Crime

“Obviously if that occurred, that would be very serious, and I agree that that would be an illegal act,” Representative Mike Turner, Republican of Ohio and a former chairman of the Intelligence Committee, said on “Face the Nation” on CBS.

Senator Tim Kaine, Democrat of Virginia, said on CBS that if the report was accurate, the attack “rises to the level of a war crime.” And on CNN, when asked if he believed a second strike to kill survivors constituted a war crime, Senator Mark Kelly, Democrat of Arizona, answered, “It seems to.”

CAIR Director Nihad Awad: Texas terror designation ‘unconstitutional’

In an interview with our Arabic edition Al-Araby Al-Jadeed, Awad said: „We defeated him three times in court when he ignored the rights of Texas citizens in the right to boycott against Israel.

We believe this is retaliation against the institution, and US courts do not allow any official in power to take revenge on an institution or place that defeated them in the judiciary.“

Founded in 1994, CAIR is the largest civil-rights and Muslim advocacy organisation in the United States. Headquartered in Washington, DC, it operates more than 35 regional offices nationwide.

Sen. Mark Kelly: Trump and Hegseth don‘t ‚understand the Constitution‘

On Monday, the Pentagon announced an investigation into Kelly, a retired U.S. Navy fighter pilot, for possible violations of military law for appearing in the video. The video was published as legal questions swirl around the Trump administration‘s deployment of National Guard troops to U.S. cities.

While the White House has since walked back the president‘s remarks calling the Senators‘ video „seditious behavior, punishable by DEATH,“ Kelly told All Things Considered he thinks President Trump is „declaring that loyalty to the Constitution is punishable by death.“

Francesca Albanese: Why I‘m accusing 63 nations of complicity in the Gaza genocide

The UN special rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territories, Francesca Albanese, has accused major European powers, including the UK, Italy and Germany, of complicity in the genocide in Gaza and warned that their government officials should face legal consequences.

In an interview with the Expert Witness podcast on 3 November, Albanese discussed the findings of her latest report, titled Gaza Genocide: A Collective Crime, where she cited evidence of the alleged responsibility of 63 states for enabling Israeli breaches of international law.

Exclusive: Absconded activist refuses to be “prisoner of war”

Middlebrough, whose trial date is set for April 2026 and who had already spent a year in pre-trial detention, was facing a total of over 18 months on remand, far exceeding the six-month pre-trial custody time limit.

“I am not on the run. I am merely being sensible, refusing to be held as a prisoner of war of Israel in a British prison,” Middlebrough said in a statement obtained and verified by The Electronic Intifada. “Outrageously, 23 of my heroic and honorable co-defendants remain in prison following our kidnapping by counterterrorism police.”

The British government proscribed Palestine Action as a “terrorist group” on 5 July of this year, prompting a rare protest against the UK from the UN, which called the the banning order a “disturbing misuse of UK counterterrorism legislation.”

Of his arrest, Middlebrough said police used counterterrorist tactics despite him not being charged with terror offenses.

“We were raided, our families detained and guns pointed at our heads despite not being charged with any terror offenses,” Middlebrough said in the statement. “The UN has condemned our treatment as likely ‘enforced disappearance,’ while my co-defendants are indefinitely detained before facing trial.”

»Wir können unabhängig von unseren Regierungen handeln«

(October 16, 2025)

Gibt es Überlegungen, aus der Flottila eine dauerhafte Bewegung gegen Apartheid und Genozid zu entwickeln?

Flotillas gibt es ja schon seit Beginn der Blockade und es wird sie auch so lange geben, bis sie endet. Durch die Sumud Flotilla haben sich unglaublich viele Menschen kennengelernt und vernetzt. Viele haben verstanden, wie wichtig kollektive Organisation ist. Der Generalstreik in Italien – dass Arbeiterinnen und Arbeiter den italienischen Staat zum Handeln gezwungen haben – hat gezeigt, was es praktisch bedeutet, wenn sich alle zusammentun. Ich bin sicher, dass daraus etwas entstehen wird. Diese Netzwerke werden wachsen.

Experte zu Gaza-Abkommen „Es ist elementar, dass Trump am Ball bleibt“

(October 13, 2025)

tagesschau.de: Ist es denkbar, dass Israel die Kampfaktivitäten wieder aufnimmt? Beispielsweise dann, wenn die Waffen jetzt doch nicht so abgegeben werden, wie ursprünglich seitens der Hamas zugesagt.

Busse: Ich sehe ein Risiko, dass dieser Krieg wieder fortgesetzt werden könnte durch Israel. Und ich glaube, dass Teile dieses Plans von Trump auch so formuliert worden sind, dass man dafür, wenn man das möchte, einen Vorwand finden kann.

‘Physical and psychological torture was the highlight last two years’ : Mohammad Dahleh

Mohammad Dahleh, a human rights lawyer, says “the motive for revenge” among the Israeli society was strong after the October 7, 2023 attack, and the country’s prison authority acted with the same motive towards inmates.

He said the Israeli prison system started beating and torturing prisoners right after the attack.

“They also prevented prisoners from sleeping and worshipping,” Dahleh told Al Jazeera from the occupied East Jerusalem, adding that many prisoners were deprived of medical treatment, which led to deaths in jails.

»Es gibt einen beängstigenden Opportunismus«

Sehen Sie Deutschland, Europa und die Vereinigten Staaten auf dem Weg zum Totalitarismus oder Faschismus?

Es gibt den Begriff des umgekehrten Totalitarismus, und ich glaube, das trifft es in Europa eher. Die Institutionen bleiben formal bestehen, wir gehen wählen, aber das Meinungsspektrum wird immer weiter eingeschränkt, Berufswege von Menschen, die widersprechen, werden zerstört. Die Repression nimmt zu. Das kann natürlich auch in offenen Totalitarismus kippen, wie wir das in den USA bereits sehen.

„If I am killed during this mission…“: Global Sumud Flotilla nears Gaza, despite Israel‘s threats

The Global Sumud Flotilla, consisting of over 40 vessels with delegations of peace activists from around the world, is sailing within 150 nautical miles of Gaza. As of Tuesday night, the Flotilla fleet has entered the “high risk” zone, where Israel has threatened to intercept them. The Global Sumud Flotilla is the largest maritime mission in history to break Israel’s blockade of the Gaza Strip.

Calling in from the Mediterranean Sea on Monday, TRNN Editor-in-Chief Maximillian Alvarez spoke with two members of the Global Sumud Flotilla, Iara Modarelli and Leila Hegazy. „We have seen the inhumane violence that Israel and its military are capable of,“ Alvarez said to Modarelli and Hegazy before asking: „If this does go bad, and this is your last mission, what do you want your final message to the world to be?“ Here is their answer…

INTERVIEW: France’s recognition of a Palestinian state will trigger ‚small diplomatic tsunami‘

What consequences could France’s recognition of a Palestinian state have?

Ofer Bronchtein: It will create momentum. France is a great power, a member of the United Nations Security Council, and of the G7. When it moves, it will bring with it other very important countries such as the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Belgium, etc. It’s a small diplomatic tsunami.

I’ve urged Macron to take this step since becoming his adviser in 2020. It is essential to ensure Israel’s security and its recognition by Arab and Muslim states. This war must stop; it no longer makes sense.

»Wir können uns nicht den Luxus leisten aufzugeben«

Zum ersten Mal gibt es ein globales Erwachen und eine globale Mobilisierung angesichts eines Völkermords. Dessen müssen wir uns bewusst sein. Natürlich ist es das System, sind es die UN-Mitgliedstaaten, die Israel Straflosigkeit gewähren. Dieses System besteht aus der Komplizenschaft einer Vielzahl von Akteuren und Unternehmen, Universitäten, dem Finanzsektor und all denen, die die Situation normalisiert haben. Aber es herrscht eine Atmosphäre der Veränderung, und wir müssen wissen, dass es richtig ist, weiterhin die Anwendung des Völkerrechts zu fordern. Das ist kein Akt der Nächstenliebe, sondern der Menschlichkeit, der Verantwortung und des Rechts.
