B-2 bombers moving to Guam amid Middle East tensions, US officials say
WASHINGTON: The United States is moving B-2 bombers to the Pacific island of Guam, two U.S. officials told Reuters on Saturday, as President Donald Trump weighs whether the United States should take part in Israel's strikes against Iran. It was unclear whether the bomber deployment is tied to Middle East tensions . The B-2 can be equipped to carry America's 30,000-pound GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrator , designed to destroy targets deep underground. That is the weapon that experts say could be used to strike Iran's nuclear program, including Fordow. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Douglas: Unsold Furniture Liquidation 2024 (Prices May Surprise You) Unsold Furniture | Search Ads Learn More Undo The officials, speaking on the condition of anonymity, declined to disclose any further details.

Caught on hidden camera: US govt staff Arslan Akhtar admits he coaches illegal immigrants on how to avoid deportation, gets fired
Screengrab from viral sting video in which State Department staff Arslan Akhtar said he coaches illegal immigrants. Arslan Akhtar, a visa specialist working with the State Department, did not know that he was being recorded on a hidden camera when he took pride in saying that he coaches potential illegal aliens, offers them tips on how to avoid deportation. He also called his Jewish co-workers "garbage people" and opined that Elon Musk should be lynched -- speaking to journalist James O'Keefe, who was undercover. The discussion took place inside what looked like a restaurant. The State Department took immediate action and fired Akhtar as the clips for the interview went viral, with social media users asking why a person named Arslan Akhtar got a job in the State Department. The Washington Times confirmed that the department fired Akhtar "upholding the rule of law" as protecting the integrity of the immigration system is essential. The department will also launch a new contractor screening and vetting process, the department said. — StateDept (@StateDept) In the viral video, Akhtar said he gave advice to Hispanic people on avoiding deportation and his first advice is to "keep your mouth shut". 'Sometimes, I do say it to cab drivers that are from, like, Hispanic descent. I'm like, 'Don't talk to the police,'' Akhtar said in the video. 'I'm just saying, like, don't admit the truth. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Descubre cómo los inversionistas están obteniendo beneficios con los CFDs de Amazon.

Don't tell them what you did, because you think being honest will help your case. It does not. Exact opposite. In fact, that's all we're looking for," he said. Akhtar said the State Department is full of Jewish people, "terrible Jewish people", 'like, really garbage people". 'These people are, like, colonists. These people are promoting genocide. These are real awful folks. And you know what the problem is? It's a cultural issue with these guys.' From his experience of working with Jewish organizations he said all of these people (Jews) are awful and they don't want change. On Israelis, he said he hates them to death and Yemenis are the most conniving group of folks next to Indians. 'Mexican people are nice. They never try to lie for no reason, like Bangladeshi people do,' he said. 'It's a culture of hatred, ultimately, and it's a culture of dominance,' Akhtar said on White people. 'They feel like they have the right to dominate everybody. To claim Greenland, to claim Canada, to claim Israel, Palestine.' In a post on X, the State Department said his dismissal was 'just the beginning.' 'These radicals with anti-American views have been embedded in our executive branch for generations and we are systematically cleaning out contractors that have allowed this,' said the Friday post. 'Let us be clear: If you have these views and you work in or with the State Department, we will find you.' On Elon Musk, Akhtar said, 'I would love for him to be dragged out of the building with his hair plugs' and be 'lynched on the street.'

Trump shifts stance, says farmers can hire migrants if they take responsibility for their workers
US President Donald Trump, in yet another shocking twist, has softened his stance toward undocumented farm workers for the time being. This is the most recent of multiple shifts in his perspective on the issue. What's Donald Trump's new plan? He proposed a new approach in which trusted farmers could hire migrants if they "take responsibility" for them. It's another twist in Trump's evolving immigration enforcement strategy. "We're looking at doing something where in the case of good, reputable farmers, they can take responsibility for the people that they hire, and let them have responsibility, because we can't put the farms out of business, and at the same time, we don't want to hurt people that aren't criminals," Trump told the media on Friday, as per a report by The Latin Times. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Chuck Norris Begs Seniors: Avoid These 3 Foods Like The Plague Roundhouse Provisions Learn More Under a system where they would assume "responsibility" for undocumented migrant workers, farmers might be able to continue hiring them without worrying about enforcement raids, President Donald Trump stated on Friday. The system's operation was not immediately apparent. Why are farmers concerned? More than 7 million people, or 4.6% of the workforce, are undocumented immigrants in the United States. Since they are afraid of being raided, many immigrants nationwide have stopped going to work. Live Events Donald Trump's stance shift comes amid crackdowns that have resulted in worker shortages and confusion in agriculture and other industries that rely on immigrant labour, with many fearing deportation raids that could disrupt farms and businesses across the country. Given the disproportionate effect that enforcement operations may have on the economy and the sector, Trump proposed last week that migrant workers in sectors like farming would be exempt from enforcement raids. ALSO READ: McDonald's boycott June 24: Who's behind it, why it's happening, and how long it will last Employers have become confused by the changing position, as evidenced by the significant drops in worker attendance that have followed immigration raids in the Fashion District of downtown Los Angeles and in some agricultural areas of Ventura County, California. Following the statement, ICE officials allegedly instructed employees in an internal email to significantly reduce raids and arrests in the hotel, restaurant, and agricultural sectors. Will raids continue despite new rules? The raids pause, however, seemed brief. Donald Trump completely revoked his earlier policy proposal when he directed agents to carry out the "single largest Mass Deportation Program in History," concentrating on America's biggest cities, nearly all of which are controlled by Democrats, through a Truth Social post, by Sunday. According to Eric J. Hamelback, chief executive of the National Horsemen's Benevolent and Protective Association, the workplace raids appeared to be back on track by Tuesday. FAQs What exactly does the phrase "taking responsibility" mean? Donald Trump claimed that reputable farmers can hire undocumented workers if they accept responsibility for them. Why is this happening right now? Raids have impacted farmers and industries that rely on migrants, causing confusion and a shortage of workers.
