Grupo Seguritech quietly built a $1.27 billion surveillance empire. Now it's expanding into the US and across Latin America @jlosc9 reports with @restofworld: typeinvestigations.org/investigation/…

I am pleased to announce the release of American journalist Shelly Kittleson, who was recently kidnapped by members of the foreign terrorist organization Kata’ib Hizballah near Baghdad, Iraq.   The U.S. Department of State extends its appreciation to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Department of War, U.S. personnel across multiple agencies, and the Iraqi Supreme Judicial Council and our Iraqi partners, for their assistance in securing her release.   This resolution reflects the Trump Administration's steadfast commitment  to the safety and security of American citizens, no matter where they are in the world.   Under President Trump, the wrongful detention or kidnapping of U.S. nationals will not be tolerated. We will continue to use every tool to bring Americans home and to hold accountable those responsible.   We are relieved that this American is now free and are working to support her safe departure from Iraq.

The future of Prime Minister Viktor Orbán's government looks doubtful in the upcoming election. So he's turning to a familiar boogeyman on the campaign trail: the war in Ukraine and the danger he claims it poses to his citizens. #hungary #orban #ukraine csmonitor.com/World/Europe/2…

Refugee admissions data: rpc.state.gov/admissions-and… Presidential determination for FY 2026: federalregister.gov/documents/2025… 3/3

^ The latest stats reflect President Trump’s FY 2026 refugee admissions cap of 7,500. Not only is that cap a record low, but the govt explicitly says those slots will "primarily be allocated among #Afrikaners ... and other victims of illegal or unjust discrimination." 2/3

This November, the US admitted 125 refugees: 122 from #SouthAfrica and 3 from #Afghanistan, per @StateDept data. In November last year, 7,162 arrived. In years past, the US offered protection to refugees — who flee identify-based persecution — from dozens of countries. 1/3

In Israel, the shared burden of military service is a consensus value, and an exemption granted the ultra-Orthodox has long rankled. Amid the mounting costs of war in Gaza, moves to codify the exemption have fanned resentments. #gaz #Israel #army #orthodox csmonitor.com/World/Middle-E…
