Israeli strike on Tehran kills bodyguard of slain Hezbollah chief

BEIRUT: A member of Lebanese armed group Hezbollah was killed in an Israeli air strike on Tehran alongside a member of an Iran-aligned Iraqi armed group, a senior Lebanese security source told Reuters and the Iraqi group said on Saturday. The source identified the Hezbollah member as Abu Ali Khalil, who had served as a bodyguard for Hezbollah's slain chief Hassan Nasrallah. The source said Khalil had been on a religious pilgrimage to Iraq when he met up with a member of the Kataeb Sayyed Al-Shuhada group. They travelled together to Tehran and were both killed in an Israeli strike there, along with Khalil's son, the senior security source said. Hezbollah has not joined in Iran's air strikes against Israel from Lebanon. Kataeb Sayyed Al-Shuhada published a statement confirming that both the head of its security unit and Khalil had been killed in an Israeli strike. Nasrallah was killed in an Israeli aerial attack on Beirut's southern suburbs in September. Israel and Iran have been trading strikes for nine consecutive days since Israel launched attacks on Iran, saying Tehran was on the verge of developing nuclear weapons. Iran has said it does not seek nuclear weapons.

US immigration crackdown: Are masked ICE agents creating a ‘secret police' in America?

Protesters in Los Angeles conducted a loud overnight demonstration outside a hotel, aiming to disrupt US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents over the agency's aggressive tactics. The 'No Sleep For ICE' rallies highlight growing public anger and fear among immigrant communities and some Americans regarding the agency's methods, including masked agents and the detention of US citizens. Critics, including a think tank fellow and California lawmakers, have raised concerns about federal agents wearing masks, likening the practice to a 'secret police' and introducing legislation to restrict it. LOS ANGELES, June 22 — After night fell on the outskirts of Los Angeles on Thursday, around 50 people clanged metal pots and blasted air horns outside a hotel in a noisy bedtime protest targeting US immigration agents. The 'No Sleep For ICE' rally underscored growing anger at Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), a once obscure agency that has become the focal point of President Donald Trump's migrant crackdown. 'They terrorise our community the entire day. Why do they get a good night's sleep?' said Nathanael Landaverde, 23, who banged a dismantled frying pan at the protest. Dramatic images have shown federal agents, often masked and sometimes armed with assault rifles, chasing down migrants and handcuffing them at courthouses, farms and on the streets. ICE officials have also detained some US citizens for allegedly intervening in arrests, including a mayoral candidate in New York this week. The heavy-handed approach has sparked fear among immigrants and infuriated many Americans, particularly in liberal cities such as Los Angeles, where large-scale street protests erupted this month over ICE raids. 'If they do not sleep they are not going to do their job effectively. They are going to get fewer people,' added Landaverde, as passing vehicles honked in apparent support for the late-night rally. It was not certain whether ICE agents were staying at the three-star hotel, but protest organisers claimed to have photo evidence. Dozens of people danced to a deafening cacophony as they waved signs reading 'No rest for ICE' and 'ICE out of LA' towards the hotel, where some guests peered through the curtains. One woman simply screamed into a megaphone. Another man wore earmuffs as he blasted distorted white noise through a speaker. 'They are ripping families apart, and it is horrifying to watch in my community. They cannot sleep if they are going to do that here,' said Juliet Austin, 22, who was playing a small blue accordion. A man is detained as clashes break out after community members pushed back against a US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) attempt to raid a store in Bell, just south of Los Angeles, California, on June 20, 2025. — AFP pic 'Secret police' Trump was elected to a second term in large part for his promise to deport thousands of migrants. But alongside their aggressive tactics, critics have denounced federal immigration agents for wearing face masks to hide their identities — a highly unusual but legal practice in US law enforcement. 'At what point will we as a nation find ourselves with a secret police?' Walter Olson, a senior fellow at the Cato Institute think tank, wrote last month. 'For the Trump administration, turning masked raids into standard practice fits into a wider effort to dodge accountability for potentially illegal and unconstitutional actions,' he added. In California, lawmakers have introduced the 'No Secret Police Act' that would restrict federal agents from wearing masks. Federal officials have rejected this criticism by claiming that agents wear masks to protect them from potential reprisals. Meanwhile, ICE has frequently boasted about its activities and posted pictures of detained migrants on social media. And it crucially still enjoys Trump's support, who last weekend praised ICE agents' 'incredible strength, determination, and courage.' Still, anger over ICE looks unlikely to go away as long as immigration arrests continue, and protesters Thursday were adamant they would not back down. 'I think it is a modern Gestapo here in America,' said Austin, a dance teacher. 'This city is not the one to mess with... We are not going to let it happen. We are not tired,' she added. — AFP
