US immigration officers instructed to halt arrests of non-criminal immigrants: report

United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers have been instructed to stop arresting immigrants who do not have criminal convictions or pending criminal charges, according to agency sources. Under the reported directive, federal immigration agents may arrest immigrants with criminal convictions or pending criminal charges, while those with final deportation orders but no criminal convictions or charges would not be arrested, The Daily Wire reported. The reported change would also end so-called “collateral arrests,” under which officers may detain others without legal status encountered while pursuing a criminal target, according to sources.

Military cooperation between Israel and Arab countries remains strong amid war on Gaza

Despite widespread criticisms and condemnation of Israel's war on Gaza, military dialogue between Tel Aviv and Arab countries remains strong under the guidance of the US Central Command. Earlier this week, IDF Chief of Staff General Hertzi Halevi met with Arab counterparts in Manama, Bahrain to discuss regional security cooperation. The meeting, led by US Central Command's General Eric Corella, remained undisclosed publicly due to the political sensitivities surrounding the Gaza war. Senior generals from militaries of Bahrain, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and Egypt participated in the meeting. Key discussion points included air and missile defence cooperation in the region in recent years. US officials highlighted that regional cooperation has significantly enhanced intelligence gathering and early warning capabilities, involving active participation from Jordan, the UK with the US. US officials say that cooperation with Israel and Arab countries in the region has allowed for the collection of intelligence information about the attack and provided early warning regarding the launch of drones and missiles. They added that this cooperation also includes the active participation of Jordan and Saudi Arabia in intercepting missiles and drones launched from Iran, Iraq, and Yemen towards Israel and crossing through their airspace. The cooperation between Israel and the Arab countries continues under the central command of the US Army, despite the public criticisms and harsh condemnations of the Israeli army's actions in Gaza. Israel, considered as an apartheid state by major international rights groups and several countries, is facing accusations of commiting a genoocide and ethnic killing of Palestinians during its ongoing onslausght on Gaza. Israel has killed more than 37,000 Palestinians including women, children and babies and injured close to 85,000 others since the October 7, 2023 Hamas attack that resulted in the deaths of 1,200 Israelis and the capture of several hostages. The Israeli military killed hundred of Palestinians as it carried out an operation earlier this week aimed at rescuing four hostages held by Hamas. The IDF indirectly addmitted to its indscriminate killing of Palesitnians claiming it is aware of under 100 casualties it had caused, but doesn't know how many of the victims were terrorists.

At least 32 miners dead after bridge fails at cobalt site in southeast DR Congo

A bridge collapsed at a cobalt mine in southeast Democratic Republic of Congo killing at least 32 wildcat miners, a regional government official said Sunday. The bridge came down Saturday onto a flooded zone at the mine in Lualaba province, Roy Kaumba Mayonde, the provincial interior minister, told reporters. He said 32 bodies had been recovered and more were being searched for. The DRC produces more than 70 percent of the world supply of cobalt, which is essential for batteries used in electric cars, many laptop computers and mobile phones. More than 200,000 people are estimated to be working in giant illegal cobalt mines in the giant central African country. Local authorities said the bridge collapsed at the Kalando mine, about 42 kilometres (26 miles) southeast of the Lualaba provincial capital, Kolwezi. "Despite a formal ban on access to the site because of the heavy rain and the risk of a landslide, wildcat miners forced their way into the quarry," said Mayonde. He said ...

Arab countries, Pakistan likely to observe Eid on same day

The International Astronomy Centre confirmed on Wednesday that the crescent moon of Shawwal will be impossible to sight on Saturday, March 29, across all regions of the Arab and Islamic world. This is due to the moon setting before the sun, with the conjunction occurring after sunset. As a result, observing the crescent moon, whether by the naked eye, telescopes, or other means, will be unfeasible on March 29. For countries requiring an actual sighting to mark the start of Shawwal, Ramadan will likely extend to 30 days, with Eid Al Fitr falling on Monday, March 31. However, in some regions where the conjunction occurs before sunset, allowing the moon to set after sunset, some countries may choose to declare Eid on Sunday, March 30, following traditional moon-sighting practices. Notably, a partial solar eclipse will be visible at noon on Saturday in parts of the western Arab world, including Mauritania, Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia. This event serves as definitive proof that the cresce...

Vancouver tribunal says 'every dog is entitled to one bite' in injury case

A woman who sought nearly $5,000 in damages after being bitten by a dog on Christmas Eve has had her claim dismissed, after a British Columbia tribunal ruled the incident amounted to an accident — and that “every dog is entitled to one bite.” Ying Shen was bitten on the hand by a mini Australian Shepherd named Juliet as she stepped out of an elevator in her apartment building in Vancouver on 24 December 2022. The dog, which was leashed and accompanied by neighbour Jeffrey Dale Polo, bit Shen as the two passed each other in the corridor. According to the B.C. Civil Resolution Tribunal’s decision, Polo apologised, saying Juliet was “usually well behaved.” Shen sought medical attention that night at St. Paul’s Hospital, where she was treated for a superficial abrasion and given a tetanus shot. She later filed a report with the City of Vancouver. A bylaw officer determined that Juliet was not considered dangerous under city regulations, though the dog was found to be unlicensed. In his 5 M...
