Immigration policy Dozens of raids have not only violated immigrants' human rights and torn families apart: They have jeopardized the national food supply. Farmworkers already work physically hard jobs for low wages. In legitimate fear for their lives and liberty, reports indicate that in some places 70% of people harvesting, processing, and distributing food stopped showing up to work by mid-2025.

A former federal prosecutor and Republican strategist blasted President Donald Trump's absolutely indefensible Thanksgiving Day outburst. On Wednesday in Washington, D.C., two members of the West Virginia National Guard were shot while on deployment, which Trump ordered in August, ostensibly to fight crime. One of those soldiers died from her wounds the next day. The suspected gunman, a 29-year-old Afghan national who reportedly fought for a CIA-backed paramilitary group in Afghanistan, is in custody.

An NGO working with refugees has told the Guardian it could launch a legal challenge because the tactic could force desperate people to take more dangerous journeys. In July, there was a flurry of French police interventions near French beaches to stop the boats with footage recorded by the BBC of a boat being punctured in shallow water while carrying asylum seekers. But the interventions were halted in early August following objections from the French police officers' union.

Estonia didn't stumble into this. It engineered it. It designed it with intention. And it might be the most visionary immigration strategy Europe has produced in decades. This long-form deep dive explores how a nation smaller than many U.S. cities became the continental leader in attracting remote workers and why thousands of Americans are now looking north toward a place they once knew only as that country with cool digital ID cards.

(AP Photo/Evan Vucci) President Donald Trump directly ordered a full-scale, rigorous re-examination of green card holders from 19 countries of concern on Thursday, one day after an Afghan national was arrested following a shooting that has left two National Guard members fighting for their lives. Officials identified the suspect as Rahmanullah Lakanwa, who arrived in September 2021 from Afghanistan under the Biden-era Operation Allies Welcome program and was granted asylum earlier this year.

The suspected shooter of two national guard members in Washington DC on Wednesday worked with CIA-backed military units during the US war in Afghanistan, the agency has confirmed. The alleged gunman, identified as Rahmanullah Lakanwal, 29, came to the US in September 2021 under an Operation Allies Welcome program that gave some Afghans who had worked for the US government entry visas to the US.

After the UK government recently unveiled immigration plans inspired by another centre-left government in Copenhagen, The Local looks to Spain and considers how the hardline Danish model isn't the only way to respond to Europe's surge in anti-immigration sentiment. There are arguably only three centre-left governments left in western Europe: Denmark, Spain and the UK. Many might question their leftist credentials but these are countries

The Trump administration has sued California for providing in-state college tuition, scholarships, and state-funded financial aid to students who do not have legal status to be in the United States. The lawsuit, filed Thursday in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California, alleges the practice harms U.S. citizens and encourages illegal immigration. Among the defendants are the state, top state officials, and the state's two public university systems, the University of California and California State.

In a statement on Thursday, George Brown said it will have "suspended intakes" for 2026-2027 in some programs that are part of its hospitality and culinary arts program. Enrolment has been suspended in the following programs: culinary arts Italian; advanced French patisserie; food and nutrition management; event planning; food and beverage management restaurant management; hospitality hotel operations management; and honours Bachelor of Business Administration hospitality.

Truly we are spoiled. Not one, but two Commons announcements on immigration from the home secretary. Both of them statements of intent. Foreigners, your time is up. Britain isn't just full. It's super-saturated with all the wrong kind of people. Theresa May must be shaking her head. She got labelled with creating a hostile environment just for sending vans round to areas with a large proportion of immigrants, saying: Piss off home. You're not wanted.' I guess those were gentler, kinder times.

The FIFA Priority Appointment Scheduling System, or FIFA PASS, is meant to help the Trump administration balance a strict immigration system while ensuring that visitors for the global soccer tournament can enter the United States without issue. "America welcomes the world," Infantino said in a statement. "We have always said that this will be the greatest and most inclusive FIFA World Cup in history -- and the FIFA PASS service is a very concrete example of that."

It comes amid growing concern among senior party figures over the reforms, which the Home Office has billed as being the biggest changes to the asylum system in modern times and have been inspired by a strict approach taken by Denmark. Ms Mahmood is set to rewrite how Britain grants refuge to those fleeing conflict and upheaval with a statement in the House of Commons on Monday an overhaul she insisted is needed because the pace and scale of change destabilised communities.

Who are Nigel Farage's army, the voters who want him as our next prime minister? Few questions are as important in British politics. Were an election called tomorrow, the favourite for No 10 would be Farage, whose immigration policies are in some ways more extreme than those of the BNP were. His party's role model for government would be Donald Trump's US: Elon Musk-style cuts to our public services and masked agents snatching families off the streets.

Defending Trump's remarks during a panel debate on CNN NewsNight, Jennings insisted, He is supported by a great many people who see the value in highly specialized, talented people being able to come here. Host Abby Phillip replied, He's not really saying clearly what the policy ought to be, he's just saying we don't have talented people in the United States to do these jobs, which is not true.

You don't want to cut half of the people, half of the students from all over the world that are coming into our country-destroy our entire university and college system-I don't want to do that,

The findings reflect an environment of mounting pressures both within, and outside, of businesses. Internally, a growing number of people are delaying their retirement and choosing to work for longer; earlier this year nearly two fifths (36%) of employees said they had already, or were considering delaying their retirement because they wanted to continue working, or due to financial reasons (34%).

Congratulations are in order to The Nation for being a thorn in the side of authoritarianism for 160 years. I was disappointed, however, that there was no mention of The Nation's reporting on the Alger Hiss case (which, thanks to Carey McWilliams and Victor Navasky, is part of the magazine's legacy) and the publication this year of evidence establishing his innocence.
