The agency executed a significant operation in May, culminating in the arrest of nearly 1,500 illegal aliens—one of the largest enforcement actions in its history. Massachusetts is often recognized for its strong liberal leanings, yet many conservatives argue that its existing policies essentially render it a sanctuary state. Major cities like Boston, Cambridge, and Somerville enforce these sanctuary policies. In this context, ICE launched a robust crackdown targeting transnational crime, including gangs and those with…

Harjinder Singh, a 28-year-old from India, attempted an illegal U-turn while driving a semi-truck, resulting in the deaths of three Floridians.

China has made significant efforts to challenge the dominance of the U.S. dollar through two key initiatives: BRICS and the Cross-Border Interbank Payment System (CIPS). However, neither has come close to accomplishing its goals. BRICS, which includes Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, is still primarily a political coalition. Although it expanded to ten members in 2025, it has yet to establish itself as a real trade bloc. Recent discussions about a new reserve currency for BRICS have resulted in little progress. As India’s Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar pointedly noted, “India has never been for de-dollarization. Right now there…
