Trump reportedly plans to send undocumented migrantsâincluding Ukrainian war refugeesâto Guantanamo Bay, a military facility infamous for holding terror suspects. The Biden-era program that offered sanctuary to Ukrainians fleeing war may be rolled back, with deportation or detention now on the table. Medical screenings for 9,000 detainees are underway ahead of transfers to Cuba. The move is part of Trump's broader immigration crackdownâtargeting 3,000 arrests a dayâand could revoke protections for 240,000 Ukrainians. The use of Guantanamo has sparked outrage due to its controversial history and lack of foreign government notification.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky revealed in a TV interview that the Trump administration diverted 20,000 anti-drone missiles, originally approved under Biden, away from Ukraine to the Middle East. Zelensky said Ukraine relied on these precision-guided weapons to counter Shaheed drone strikes, including a record 472 drones on June 1. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth cited urgency but skipped a major Ukraine meeting. Trump later resumed aid after Kyiv agreed to a ceasefire, sparking backlash over his stance to âlet the war continue.â

The UNâs top human rights official, Volker TĂŒrk, has strongly condemned U.S. sanctions on four ICC judges as âdeeply corrosiveâ to international justice. These judges, who ruled on cases involving alleged war crimes by U.S. forces in Afghanistan and arrest warrants against Israeli leaders, now face sanctions from the Biden administration. TĂŒrk warned that targeting international judges for executing their duties endangers the rule of law. The EU has backed the ICC, vowing to counter these sanctions and defend the courtâs independence from political pressure.

Senators Cory Booker and Ted Cruz engaged in a fiery exchange during a Senate Judiciary Subcommittee hearing on threats to federal judges. As Cruz accused Democrats of remaining silent during threats against conservative justices, Booker pushed back, calling the remarks âdangerousâ and a âpatent lie.â The tense back-and-forth highlighted rising political divisions over judicial safety, enforcement of protest laws, and the legacy of Trump-era rhetoric.
