Every World Cup arrives with controversy. That is part of the tournament's DNA. Host nations worry about stadium readiness. Fans argue about ticket prices. Security planners lose sleep. What feels different this time is that the warning is not coming from activists in the stands or lawmakers in host cities. It is coming from the top of the sport's old establishment.

The scheme Congress enacted governing immigration proceedings provides Khalil a meaningful forum in which to raise his claims later on-in a petition for review of a final order of removal,

A federal appeals panel on Thursday reversed a lower court decision that released former Columbia University graduate student Mahmoud Khalil from an immigration jail, bringing the government one step closer to detaining and ultimately deporting the Palestinian activist. The three-judge panel of the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals didn't rule on the key issue in Khalil's case: whether the Trump administration's effort to throw Khalil out of the U.S. over his campus activism and criticism of Israel is unconstitutional.

A lawsuit filed Friday in Boston's federal court alleges that the suspension of casework by the Department of Homeland Security and the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services office is not authorized by immigration or administrative law. The pause has stopped people from claiming asylum, getting work authorization, renewing student visas and processing green cards. It has even pulled people out of citizenship ceremonies, the last phase of the naturalization process.

Many people born outside Ireland have deep roots in the country, whether through a parent or grandparent. If you've ever wondered whether your Irish heritage entitles you to something more official, you're not alone. Ireland has a clear path for those with familial ties, even if you've never lived there. You could be eligible to legally reconnect with your background, giving you the right to live, work, and move freely within the EU.

When I came to the bar [in the 1990s], women couldn't even wear trousers. I used to get men saying: What colour knickers are you wearing today, Lesley?' It's better now, but back then law was way worse than music in how it treated women. Woods who is now 67 still works as a barrister, specialising in immigration law, though in the last 15 years she has dipped her toes back into music, performing occasional solo gigs and self-releasing an EP, In the Fade, in early 2025.

My mother, Regina Treitler, had in fact violated the War Brides Act, but she justified her actions as the only way she could reunite her family after the Holocaust. My parents had fled Germany in 1938, right before Kristallnacht. They had saved themselves, but my mother had been tormented by the fact that her two brothers and her sister-in-law had not escape. They were trapped in Europe for the duration of the Holocaust, their fates unknown.

A federal judge late on Tuesday blocked the Trump administration from making widespread immigration arrests in the nation's capital without warrants or probable cause that the person would be an imminent flight risk. The US district judge Beryl Howell in Washington granted a preliminary injunction sought by civil liberties and immigrant rights groups in a lawsuit against the US Department of Homeland Security. Officers making civil immigration arrests generally have to have an administrative warrant.

He explained that after being released from prison, in 2014, he spent time in Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody while they tried and failed to deport him to Ukraine and Russia. Both countries, according to legal filings reviewed by NPR, could not provide or confirm Surovtsev's citizenship since he left before the fall of the Soviet Union. They couldn't give him the travel documents needed for deportation.

But foreign government officials, immigration attorneys and court filings indicate that wasn't the case with at least two groups of deportees this summer that included a dozen migrants from Mexico, Vietnam and Jamaica who'd been convicted of crimes such as murder and robbery. It's unclear whether U.S. officials gave those deportees' home countries a chance to accept the return of their citizens - as has long been required by law - before sending them to the prisons in Africa.
