US Tightens the Southern Border
The US is sending 1,500 more troops to the border with Mexico. Why? President Trump is ramping up efforts to curb immigration. These troops are set to help with building barriers and speeding up deportations for thousands already in detention.
And here’s where it gets even more complicated: over 10,000 refugees, including Afghans who worked with US forces, were told they can’t come in after all. Plus, asylum appointments? Canceled. Immigration debates are definitely heating up.
Thailand Says Yes to Equal Marriage
Thailand just became the first country in Southeast Asia to legalize same-sex marriage. Couples can now marry, manage assets, and even adopt children.
This puts Thailand in the same club as Taiwan and Nepal in Asia, and celebrations are lighting up across the nation.
Trump on FEMA: Let States Handle It
President Trump, in his first sit-down interview of his second term, had a lot to say about FEMA. Speaking to Fox News’ Sean Hannity, he argued that states should manage their own disasters, with FEMA only stepping in financially.
Using Oklahoma as an example, he said, “They’re great with tornadoes—they don’t need FEMA getting in the way.” Love it or hate it, Trump’s comments are stirring up the debate over disaster management.
California Wildfires Force Thousands to Flee
Out in California, wildfires near Lake Castaic are burning through 9,000 acres, and over 30,000 people have been evacuated so far. The weather is making things worse, with strong winds spreading the flames faster than crews can contain them.
Fire officials say progress is being made, but the situation is still unpredictable. Red Flag Warnings are sticking around until Friday.
South Korea’s Presidential Drama
In South Korea, suspended President Yoon is facing calls for serious charges, including insurrection and abuse of power. He’s been detained for a week following his failed attempt to impose martial law last December.
The situation is tense, and people are demanding answers fast.
Brexit Trade Shake-Up?
Could the UK and EU be cozying up again? The EU’s trade chief is suggesting that Britain might join the Pan-European Customs Area. While it’s not a full customs union, it would make trade across Europe a lot smoother.
With Labour pushing for economic growth, this idea could reshape post-Brexit relations. Something to keep an eye on!
China Accused of Using Psych Wards for Politics
A shocking BBC investigation reveals claims that China has been detaining political critics in psychiatric hospitals without medical reasons. Nearly 60 people say they were institutionalized after speaking out against the government.
China denies it all, saying they follow the rule of law, but human rights groups aren’t buying it.
