Julián Curo-Churata had lived in Laurel, Maryland, for approximately 17 years before immigration officers detained him in June. Three months later, the 47-year-old Peruvian died in a Louisiana hospital while in ICE custody. His family’s lawyer alleges that urgent requests for medical attention were ignored while ICE maintains that he […]
The synchronicity with which Joey Mannarino, Valentina Gomez, Javier Negre and Weronika Rogowska suddenly started speaking is hard to miss. These were not isolated comments about Serbia. The same set of talking points, nearly identical formulations, the same framing: the Student List is a leaderless construct; the protests involve “Bosnian […]
Just days before the midterm elections, two sets of figures released within days of each other describe the same mood from opposite directions. A Reuters/Ipsos poll puts Donald Trump’s approval rating at 32%, the lowest of his presidency. A study by the non-profit Food & Water Watch finds that US […]
If even one of the major European governments turns over, Ukraine’s lifeline will be severed. Zelensky’s harsh words about US President Donald Trump was an emotional response after Zelensky deliberately thwarted Trump’s request that Ukraine not strike Russian refineries.

Together, the findings raise questions about […]
It’s become the disease of affluence: How do wealthy countries limit, restrict or totally bar migrants (whether they arrive through regular channels or otherwise) who are seen as ills to be shunned rather than solutions to be treasured? A country like Australia would be a shadow of itself without its […]
Nigel Farage’s pitch to “hijack” Tom Homan and bring him to Britain “to secure our borders” was delivered as a joke at a US event. But the specific person Farage chose to praise, and the political moment in which he chose to praise him, make the remark worth taking seriously […]
They all call it “far right” on account of that Party’s “remigration” policy of dealing with what is widely considered by Germans to be excessive allowance of immigrants into Germany. There is no other basis on which that term or phrase “far right” is being applied to the AfD. Obviously, […]
Twenty people landed in Monrovia this week as the opening installment of an agreement that will eventually send up to 1,200 deportees from the United States to Liberia – a west African nation with no direct connection to most of the people it’s about to receive. The arrangement is being […]
