Abrego Garcia, long at the center of Trump’s immigration crackdown, was arrested again as DHS branded him an MS-13 gang member. In a video posted by DHS, Garcia said “Gobierno Corrupto” (“Corrupt Government”) before being taken behind bars. Trump allies, including Kristi Noem, called for his deportation to Uganda, but a federal judge temporarily blocked the move, citing Garcia’s clean U.S. record. With DHS insisting he is a dangerous criminal and Democrats defending him, the case has ignited a fresh political and legal battle over immigration.

The White House has released footage showing dozens of undocumented migrants being deported, sparking a fresh storm in America’s long-running immigration debate. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials said such flights occur several times each week, claiming they make the country safer. But controversy deepened after a senior U.S. senator suggested America should “welcome and embrace all immigrants,” adding that the population is “not reproducing on its own.” Critics erupted, accusing him of undermining American families and pushing an agenda that fuels division. President Donald Trump has already seized on the debate, framing immigration as a fight that pits Americans against each other. With deportations on display, fiery rhetoric from lawmakers, and Trump amplifying the battle lines, immigration has once again become a defining fault line in U.S. politics, raising questions of identity, security, and the future of the American dream.

The feud between Donald Trump and California Governor Gavin Newsom is intensifying as both exchange sharp attacks. Trump labeled Newsom “the man destroying California” and mocked him as “Newscum,” claiming he trails in polls. However, a new Echelon Insights survey shows Newsom surging to 13% support among Democratic voters for 2028, up from 4% in April, second only to Kamala Harris. Newsom’s aggressive strategy—directly mocking Trump on social media—has boosted his national profile, fueling speculation about his presidential ambitions.

Donald Trump sparked global outrage after praising Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as a “war hero,” despite the ICC issuing an arrest warrant for alleged war crimes in Gaza. In an interview, Trump dismissed international accountability, criticizing the court for targeting Netanyahu and former defense minister Yoav Gallant. Israel is also facing a genocide case at the ICJ, with over 62,000 Palestinians reported dead. Trump defended his role in freeing Israeli hostages, boasted of U.S. airstrikes on Iran, and attacked Democrats in Washington.

In a fiery White House exchange, South Korean President Lee Jae Myung sided with U.S. President Donald Trump as both leaders accused Joe Biden of enabling North Korea’s nuclear rise. President Lee told Trump the Korean peninsula was “stable” during Trump’s first term, but claimed North Korea advanced its weapons program significantly under Biden’s watch. Trump immediately seized the moment, declaring, “They would not have done that if I were President,” to which Lee replied, “I completely agree with you.” The dramatic on-camera moment is fueling debate in Washington and Seoul, with critics warning that such public criticism of Biden could inflame U.S. domestic politics and reshape Korean diplomacy. Supporters of Trump, however, hailed the remarks as proof that his strongman approach had kept Pyongyang in check. The sharp rebuke leaves Biden facing fresh questions over his North Korea policy.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has issued a final nuclear warning to the U.S. and South Korea, accusing their joint military drills of being a “direct threat” to Pyongyang. During a visit to a navy destroyer, Kim called for a rapid expansion of North Korea’s nuclear arsenal and accused Washington and Seoul of preparing for war. His sister, Kim Yo Jong, rejected dialogue and slammed South Korea’s reliance on the U.S. With Ulchi Freedom Shield drills underway, tensions on the Korean Peninsula continue to mount.

Donald Trump has slapped 25% tariffs on Japan and South Korea, warning both nations to “build in the USA or pay up.” With a July 9 deadline looming, Trump’s letters threaten even steeper tariffs if Tokyo or Seoul retaliate or refuse trade deals. He blames long-standing U.S. trade deficits on “unfair policies.” Investors reacted sharply—Nissan shares tumbled over 7%. As tariff tensions rise, Trump promises fast-track approvals for companies shifting production to the U.S., intensifying global trade war fears.
