The Trump administration is seeking sweeping changes to the rights of asylum seekers that experts say would "decimate" the global refugee system established after World War II, a new report finds. Reuters, citing internal documents from the State Department and an agency spokesperson, finds the administration is proposing a framework in which asylum seekers would be forced to apply for protection in the first country they enter, not a country of their choosing.

The Compatriots, out September 16 on VOD, is an affable comedy about a serious subject. Closeted high school student Javi (Rafael Silva) is feeling good after pitching a no-hitter, but when he kisses his teammate, Hunter (Denis Shepherd), at the afterparty, things get awkward between these best friends. Five years later, the guys reconnect when Javi has another uncomfortable issue-ICE has raided his workplace and Javi is hiding because he is undocumented.

For months, Ledy Ordoñez worried about what she would do if immigration officers arrived at her store in the heart of Oakland 's premier Latino neighborhood. As immigration authorities increasingly target worksites for arrests, hundreds of managers and business owners like Ordoñez have flocked to "Know Your Rights" training events in the Bay Area specifically tailored to the workplace, according to legal aid groups and worker advocates.

A core component of the Colossal-curated exhibition, No One Knows All It Takes, is community participation. Each of the artists- Bryana Bibbs, Raoul Deal, Maria Gaspar, and Swoon ( previously)-is deeply engaged with the people they portray and collaborate with, a commitment that inspires nuanced, insightful projects and a truly communal process. As part of the exhibition at the Haggerty Museum of Art, we've considered how to reflect this mode of working through programming and a participatory project.

Her instructors had warned her that if she wanted a real shot at making it as an actress in the US, she'd have to "fix" her accent. Paltrow's voice - crisp, polished, "full of money," as Gatsby says of Daisy's - became the model. "My teachers were like, Gwyneth Paltrow will be your way in," Novi recalls. When she came across the Goop tutorial, something clicked.

The South Korean foreign minister, Cho Hyun, is set to travel to the United States on Monday as the fallout continues from an immigration raid on a Hyundai plant in Georgia during which over 300 South Korean workers were detained. On Sunday, the South Korean government said it had finalized negotiations for the workers' release and planned to send a charter plane to bring them back to Seoul.

Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

"There are a lot of negative comments online," said Prahb Singh, a truck driver in Riverside, California, who isn't related to the driver. None of the people named in this story are in the same family; Singh is a common last name among Sikhs. "People are saying: 'Take the towel heads off the streets' and 'Make our roads safe by taking immigrants off the street,'" said Singh, a U.S. citizen who emigrated from India at age 8. "All of this before a judge gives a sentence. It was a mistake by a driver, not the whole community."

The cabinet of UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer experienced a reshuffle on Friday after Angela Rayner resigned as UK deputy prime minister. Rayner stepped down following an independent inquiry that found she fell short of the standards expected of government ministers over a tax error on a recent house purchase. As part of the overhaul, Yvette Cooper was named foreign minister, replacing David Lammy who will become deputy prime minister and justice minister, Starmer's office said in a statement.

If you had told me as a teenager in Soviet Georgia that one day I'd be running an American public tech company - let alone something like Grindr - I couldn't have grasped it. The moment I stepped out of JFK airport, I felt something different - later I realized it was freedom. America gave me not just liberty, but the chance to unleash my potential, pursue my dreams, and come to terms with being gay.

Passengers flying into Bali and a host of other Indonesian destinations are now required to complete a digital arrivals declaration via the All Indonesia app. As of September 1, 2025, international visitors traveling to Soekarno-Hatta Airport in Banten, Juanda Airport in East Java, or I Gusti Ngurah Rai Airport in Bali must download the new app to submit streamlined immigration, customs, health, and quarantine declarations. The form can be completed up to three days before departure.

As part of its aggressive immigration policy, the Trump administration has moved fast to increase the rate of arrests of undocumented immigration, and scale up detention space and deportations. But the rapid pace of arrests has contributed to the millions of cases backlogged at the Department of Justice's Executive Office for Immigration Review, which houses immigration courts. At the same time, in the last nine months, EOIR has lost over 100 judges to firings and voluntary resignations, down from about 700 judges at the start of the year.

The Office for National Statistics (ONS) said the fertility rate (the number of children born to each woman) fell to 1.41 children per woman in 2024. That is the third year running that it has dropped and is the lowest since records began 90 years ago. It is widely accepted that a birthrate of 2.1 is required to sustain a population at its current level.

Parents, grandparents and others their age lined El Camino Real during Monday's 17×17 Labor Day rally - as in previous anti-Trump protests. But where were the younger people? At the protest, aiming to line up 17,000 people for 17 miles of El Camino Real in a safe, civil and welcoming environment, elders seemed to far outnumber teens and people in their 20s. Kristina Schmidt, 63, a bookkeeper from San Jose, said she was in attendance to defend several causes such as gay marriage, immigration and Medicaid.

working as the library manager at the International Center of Photography, overseeing projects for Dashwood, and producing zines through her publishing house, Matarile Ediciones. Spending her days poring over others' work, some titles have shaped her idea of what makes a photo book truly remarkable - from Carmen Winant's My Birth, with its tactile documentation of women in labour, to Nobuyoshi Araki's Winter Journey, which sequences his wife's final days in hospital and their honeymoon in a moving, elegiac rhythm.

My great-grandfather and I were both 24 when we arrived in America. He landed at Ellis Island in 1912 with nothing but a suitcase, his savings, and the belief that America would offer a better life. I touched down at JFK airport in 2022, ready for the adventure I'd waited most of my life for. We know little about my great-grandfather's time in America, but we know he brought his fortunes back to Ireland after 20 years doing industrial work in Philadelphia.

True MAGA adherents may revolt if Trump's successor strays from hardcore populism. Business leaders could balk if they lean too far the other way. On the populist side: Trump has used tariffs to fundamentally remake the global trading order, with the goal of both punishing countries who "cheat" the U.S. and boosting domestic manufacturing. He's waged a public war on the Federal Reserve - railing against high interest rates as punishing ordinary Americans, and threatening the independence of the central bank.

I was 30, a British-South African expat living her best life in Zurich, when I was unexpectedly and entirely swept off my feet by a Swedish knight in shining armour. The day we met, I knew deep in my bones that my life was about to change forever. We spent an hourslong brunch together, followed by strolling the city with mutual friends he was visiting for the weekend from London.
