Judge Blocks Removal of Palestinian Columbia Student

A federal judge blocked the removal of a Palestinian Columbia University student from the United States on Monday and set a hearing for later this week to consider Mahmoud Khalil's challenge to his detention.

 

Khalil's arrest and removal are part of President Donald Trump's crackdown on anti-Israel protesters.

 

U.S. District Judge Jesse Furman said in court papers the hearing would take place in Manhattan federal court on Wednesday at 11:30 a.m. ET.

 

Trump said Monday on Truth Social that the arrest of Khalil, a Columbia graduate student who organized protests at the school against Israel, will be the first of many.

 

Federal immigration authorities arrested Khalil on Saturday for his prominent role in Columbia’s protests against Israel.

 

A spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security, Tricia McLaughlin, confirmed Khalil’s arrest in a statement Sunday, describing it as being “in support of President Trump’s executive orders prohibiting anti-Semitism.”

House Tees Up Continuing Resolution Amid Dem, Rep. Massie Opposition

https://www.newsmax.com/politics/house-spending-government/2025/03/11/id/1202289/

Tuesday, 11 March 2025 07:26 AM EDT

 

Republicans who control the Congress will try Tuesday to advance legislation that would avert a weekend government shutdown, while Democrats alarmed by President Donald Trump's dramatic downsizing effort were expected to oppose it.

 

The vote in the House is likely to be close. Republicans hold the chamber by a narrow 218-214 margin, and at least one of them, Rep. Thomas Massie, D-Ky., has said he will vote against it.

 

But Trump has been pressing his Republicans to get in line, and members who typically vote against government funding bills have said they will back this one.

 

If it clears the House, the legislation will also have to pass the Senate to ensure government agencies can continue operating past Friday midnight, when funding is due to expire.

 

Republicans in that chamber will need at least seven Democrats to vote with them to avert a lapse in funding, which could disrupt everything from financial oversight to scientific research and force hundreds of thousands of federal workers to go without pay.

 

Many of those workers have already been stressed by Trump's blunt-force campaign to thin the ranks of the U.S. civil service and slash spending.

 

At least 100,000 of the government's 2.3 million civilian workers have either been fired or taken a buyout so far, and Trump has effectively shuttered agencies that handle foreign aid and consumer protections. Trump's administration has ordered a second round of layoffs as well, with plans due later this week.

 

Democrats say Trump's downsizing effort, spearheaded by tech billionaire Elon Musk, runs roughshod over Congress' authority over spending matters.

 

Most were expected to vote against the government spending bill, saying there would be little point in voting for legislation that will likely be ignored by Trump's administration.

 

"This bill is a blank check for Elon Musk and President Trump," Rep. Rosa DeLauro, D-Conn., said Monday.

 

The bill would extend government funding until the end of the fiscal year Sept. 30, largely at current levels. Increases in defense, veterans' care and border security would be offset by cuts to some domestic programs.

Greenland voting for independence from Denmark?

 

Greenland Votes as Trump Eyes Control of Strategic Island

https://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/greenland-trump-arctic/2025/03/11/id/1202268/

The single polling station in Greenland ’s capital city is ready.

 

This big Arctic island with a tiny population holds early parliamentary elections Tuesday that are being closely watched. President Donald Trump has made clear he wants to take control of the region that occupies a strategic North Atlantic location and contains rare earth minerals key to driving the global economy.

 

Trump’s overtures aren’t on the ballot, but they are on everyone’s minds.

 

This self-governing region of Denmark is home to 56,000 people, most from Indigenous Inuit backgrounds. It has been on a path toward independence since at least 2009. Now, Greenlanders are debating the best way to ensure they control their future.

 

“I think most of us have been scared since the new year because of (Trump’s) interest,” Pipaluk Lynge, a member of parliament from the ruling Inuit Ataqatigiit, or United Inuit party, told The Associated Press. “So we’re really, really looking to Europe right now to see if we could establish a stronger bond with them to secure our sovereign nation.”

 

Opinion polls show most Greenlanders favor independence.

 

Most say they don’t dislike Americans, pointing to the good relations they have with the local Pituffik Space Base, formerly Thule Air Force Base, where U.S. military personnel have been stationed since 1951.

 

But Greenlanders show no sign of wanting to become Americans. Even some of Trump’s biggest fans cling to the principle that they should control their destiny. That includes Gerth Josefsen, a 53-year-old fisherman from Nuuk who sports a MAGA hat and is proud to have visited Mar-a-Lago, Trump’s Florida home.

 

Their mantra is that Greenland is open for business, but not for sale.

 

“The situation has changed because of Trump and because of the world,” said Doris Jensen, representative of the social democratic Siumut party who said she has always favored independence, “So we have decided in our party that we have to do (it) more quickly.”

 

Trump’s attention has transformed the deeply local process of democracy. Suddenly, the presence of journalists from as far away as Japan and Croatia are reminders that these are far from normal times.

 

After candidates’ final televised debate at a school auditorium in Nuuk, Prime Minister Mute Bourup Egede was greeted by about 75 supporters who were almost outnumbered by photographers and cameramen.

 

“All these reporters are frightening to us,’’ said Aviaja Sinkbaek, who works at the school. “It means that something must be happening soon.”

 

She added: “I wonder what Trump has up his sleeve.”

 

Politics in Greenland have a different rhythm. Debates during campaigning rarely got heated. People who became too animated were asked to step outside. Issues included building a skilled workforce and how to decorate the new airport, which opened a runway long enough to handle jumbo jets in November.

 

On Tuesday, the capital’s lone polling station at the Nuuk sports hall will have political parties pitching tents outside, with campaigners offering hot drinks and Greenlandic cake a raisin-laced bread served with butter in hopes of swaying voters.

 

A bus will circle the city of about 20,000 people, offering rides.

 

Unofficial election results should be available soon after polls close, but they won’t be certified for weeks as ballot papers make their way to the capital from remote settlements by boat, plane and helicopter.

 

That’s because there are no roads connecting communities across the island’s 2.16 million square kilometers (836,330 square miles), which make Greenland the world’s 12th biggest country.

 

Now the vast size has drawn outsize attention.

 

Greenlanders know what they have. They hope the rare earth minerals will help diversify an economy where government jobs account for 40% of employment.

 

But the government has imposed strict rules to protect the environment on the island, most of which is covered by ice year-round. The harsh atmospheric conditions raise questions about whether extracting them is commercially feasible.

 

Hurricane-strength gusts over the weekend triggered warnings for boats and building materials to be securely tied down. As the wind howled like a revving jet engine, local people retreated to their homes to play board games.

Based on Ontario, Canada, placing a 25% Tariff on “Electricity” coming into the United States, I have instructed my Secretary of Commerce to add an ADDITIONAL 25% Tariff, to 50%, on all STEEL and ALUMINUM COMING INTO THE UNITED STATES FROM CANADA, ONE OF THE HIGHEST TARIFFING NATIONS ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD. This will go into effect TOMORROW MORNING, March 12th. Also, Canada must immediately drop their Anti-American Farmer Tariff of 250% to 390% on various U.S. dairy products, which has long been considered outrageous. I will shortly be declaring a National Emergency on Electricity within the threatened area. This will allow the U.S to quickly do what has to be done to alleviate this abusive threat from Canada. If other egregious, long time Tariffs are not likewise dropped by Canada, I will substantially increase, on April 2nd, the Tariffs on Cars coming into the U.S. which will, essentially, permanently shut down the automobile manufacturing business in Canada. Those cars can easily be made in the USA! Also, Canada pays very little for National Security, relying on the United States for military protection. We are subsidizing Canada to the tune of more than 200 Billion Dollars a year. WHY??? This cannot continue. The only thing that makes sense is for Canada to become our cherished Fifty First State. This would make all Tariffs, and everything else, totally disappear. Canadians taxes will be very substantially reduced, they will be more secure, militarily and otherwise, than ever before, there would no longer be a Northern Border problem, and the greatest and most powerful nation in the World will be bigger, better and stronger than ever — And Canada will be a big part of that. The artificial line of separation drawn many years ago will finally disappear, and we will have the safest and most beautiful Nation anywhere in the World — And your brilliant anthem, “O Canada,” will continue to play, but now representing a GREAT and POWERFUL STATE within the greatest Nation that the World has ever seen!
