Trump Administration Threatens To Deport Ábrego García To Uganda

On the same day he was released from federal custody, the Trump administration on Friday informed Kilmar Ábrego García—a Maryland man wrongfully deported to a notorious Salvadoran prison rife with abuse—that it may deport him to the East African nation of Uganda. Ábrego García, a Salvadoran national who entered the US without authorization when he was a teenager, was released Friday from a jail near Nashville, Tennessee, where he had been held since June following his errant deportation to El Salvador and imprisonment in the Terrorism Confinement Center (CECOT) super-maximum security prison. According to a notice sent by a US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) official to Ábrego García’s attorneys on Friday, “DHS may remove your client… to Uganda no earlier than 72 hours from now.”

Trump And Democrats Fuel The Washington DC Crime Panic

“The year before, Newark, New Jersey, had been occupied by nearly lily-white units of the National Guard, sent there to quell a four-day rebellion in which 26 Blacks were killed.” Glen Ford describing the 1967 occupation of Newark, New Jersey. Donald Trump’s declaration of a 30-day public safety emergency, including a National Guard deployment, in Washington DC was not, as the corporate media would have us believe, undertaken suddenly. The reported assault on one of Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) former employees, Edward Coristine, was widely reported to be the casus belli of the federal attack on Washington DC.

Trump’s Tariffs Backfire: India Moves Closer To China

US President Donald Trump is a very contradictory leader. He constantly implements policies that go against his stated goals. The perfect example of this is how Trump has treated BRICS, the Global South-led organization that now represents the majority of the planet. Trump sees BRICS as a major threat to US hegemony, and, in particular, the dominance of the US dollar as the global reserve currency. The US president has openly threatened members of BRICS to try to stop them from seeking alternatives to the dollar. In a press conference at the White House on July 8, Trump complained (emphasis added): BRICS was set up to hurt us. BRICS was set up to degenerate our dollar, and take our dollar as the standard, take it off as the standard.

Some Thoughts On The Trump-Putin Summit

After reading some 20+ pieces about the upcoming Trump-Putin talks I still have no idea of what the outcome might be. Trump's uttering about the talks and Ukraine are, as usually, all over the place. There seems to be some agreements already between the parties. If it were not so there would be no summit. The Russian side is aiming at much more than Ukraine. The size and high ranks of its delegation is otherwise unexplained: The Kremlin aide noted the very high level of the Russian delegation, which he said would include Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, Ushakov himself, Defense Minister Andrey Belousov, Finance Minister Anton Siluanov, and Special Presidential Representative for Investment and Economic Cooperation with Foreign Countries Kirill Dmitriev, who has been a key figure in the Ukraine settlement process. “In addition to the presidents, five members from each delegation will participate in the negotiations,” he said, adding that “of course, a group of experts will also be nearby.”

Zelensky Rejects Idea Of Ceding Territory To Russia

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has rejected the idea of ceding territory to Russia to end the war in Ukraine, as President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin are preparing for a summit that will be held this Friday, August 15, in the US state of Alaska. “Ukrainians will not gift their land to the occupier,” Zelensky said in a video address on Saturday. “We will not reward Russia for what it has perpetrated. Zelensky’s comments came after The Wall Street Journal reported that Putin told US envoy Steve Witkoff that he would agree to a full ceasefire if Ukraine withdrew its forces from Donetsk, one of the two oblasts in Ukraine’s eastern Donbas region. Russia controls most of Donetsk and virtually all of Luhansk, the other half of the Donbas region.

Trump Deploys National Guard, Takes Over Washington, DC Police

U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday moved to deploy the National Guard on the streets of Washington, D.C., while also officially taking over the city's police department. What's more, Trump suggested that this could be a model for other American cities. As reported by NBC News, Trump said during his announcement on plans to deploy the National Guard in the nation's capital that "other cities are hopefully watching this" and that he hoped it would make them "self-clean up, and maybe they'll self-do this and get rid of the cashless bail thing and all of the things that caused the problem." Trump then named Baltimore, Oakland, New York, and Chicago as potential future targets for National Guard deployments and other measures.

Obama Colluded With The Surveillance State Against Trump

“It probably helps him a lot, the immunity ruling. But it doesn’t help the people around him at all. It probably helps him a lot. He’s done criminal acts, no question about it but he has immunity and it probably helps him a lot. He owes me big. Obama owes me big.” - Donald Trump on his treason accusations against Barack Obama Because immigrants around the country are being snatched off the streets and detained by masked ICE agents without any due process, and because the United States remains committed to aiding Israel’s genocidal grip on Gaza, it isn’t easy to write the words, “Donald Trump was right.”

Blatant Attacks On International Law Are Nothing New For The US

The Donald Trump administration has launched many frontal attacks on multilateral organizations and international law. However, these clear violations of international law are nothing new for US presidents. Opposition to multilateralism has been a bipartisan feature of US politics for many decades. In February, Trump withdrew the United States from the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC), repeating an action he had done back in 2018, during his first term. The Trump administration also attacked the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), and announced that he had cut US funding for both UNRWA and the UNHRC.

Why Ouster Of US Occupation Forces From West Asia Is Key To Lasting Peace

Since entering politics, former real estate tycoon and reality TV star Donald Trump has made a conscious effort to cultivate the image of himself as a peacemaker. He often boasts of avoiding major wars, takes credit for de-escalating global tensions and has even audaciously claimed that he deserves a Nobel Peace Prize! His 2024 campaign mantra, “ending endless wars,” struck a chord with a U.S. public weary of entanglements in West Asia. Yet, this carefully crafted image proved to be a mirage. Far from extinguishing flames, Trump poured gasoline on simmering conflicts.

Campaigners Gear Up To Send Trump Packing From Scotland This Saturday

Campaign groups planning a ‘festival of resistance’ to coincide with Donald Trump’s upcoming visit to Scotland have announced demonstrations in Aberdeen and Edinburgh on Saturday 26 July. With Trump expected to arrive in Scotland between July 25-29, trade unions, disability rights activists, climate justice campaigners, Palestinian and Ukrainian solidarity groups, and American diaspora organisations are among those now organising multiple days of events to give him a fitting welcome. The coalition has called on first minister John Swinney not to meet with the US president, whose authoritarian administration has links to the far-right across the UK and Europe.

High Crimes And Misdemeanors; Not By Trump But Obama And Democrats

Increasing evidence emerges that confirms what ex-CIA analyst Ray McGovern suggests was a classic off-the-shelve intelligence operation initiated during the last year of Obama’s presidency against the Trump campaign by employees of, and others associated with, the CIA, FBI, and the NS. Yet the public is being counseled to ignore possible proof of state misconduct. The historic and unprecedented timing of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s indictment of twelve Russia military intelligence officers on the eve of Trump’s meeting with Putin, was clearly meant to undercut Trump’s authority.

Trump’s Latin American Policies Go South

With the Trump imperium passing the half-year mark, the posture of the US empire is ever clearer. Whether animated by “America First” or globalism, the objective remains “full spectrum dominance.” And now with the neocon capture of the Democrats, there are no guardrails from the so-called opposition party. Call it the “new cold war,” the “beginning of World War III,” or – in Trump’s words – “endless war,” this is the era that the world has entered. The US/Zionist war against Iran has paused, but no one has any illusions that it is over.

Trump’s Comments On Washington Football Team Name Spark Outrage

Washington—On Sunday, President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social suggesting that the Washington Commanders National Football League franchise revert to its offensive former nickname, drawing ire from Native American leaders. In his post, the president suggested he may stop a deal that would eventually build a stadium for the Washington Commanders if they fail to change the name back to the Redskins, which was retired in 2020 after years of protest from Native communities. He further stated that the Cleveland Guardians—who stopped using the “Indians” nickname in 2020—should change their name back and said “MAKE INDIANS GREAT AGAIN.”

Trump’s War On Iran Killed Any Shot At Dialogue With North Korea

The smoke over Iran may have cleared, but the aftershocks of the U.S. and Israel’s unprovoked attack are still reverberating. In one fell swoop, Washington conclusively demonstrated its total unreliability as a diplomatic partner. The lessons of this moment are being metabolized by heads of state across the world, including on the Korean Peninsula, where Donald Trump’s overtures for renewed dialogue with the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) have so far been rebuffed. Trump’s flashy promises that he would revive the diplomatic process with Pyongyang never had much merit.

Chris Hedges Report: Jeffrey Epstein, Donald Trump And Sexual Blackmail Networks

Perhaps the biggest elephant in the room of American politics is the existence of a pedophilic blackmail network that involves some of the most powerful people in the country and the world. Despite efforts to get to the bottom of the Jeffrey Epstein case, which saw the trafficking and sexual exploitation of thousands of children, justice continues to be evaded and the cabal associated with Epstein — President Donald Trump notwithstanding — continues its conspiracy. Nick Bryant is a journalist and author who first published Epstein’s infamous “black book” in 2015 as well as Epstein’s flight logs.
