We spoke to 26 witnesses who saw RSF fighters kidnapping children during their takeover of the Sudanese city of al-Fashir in October and in other attacks in the Darfur region over the course of Sudan's civil war, in some cases killing their parents first.

The gun taken by the agent appears to match the general appearance of the firearm shared online by DHS, and which they said was Pretti’s. This agent’s back is turned from the scene with the gun in his hand when the first shot occurs.

Federal law enforcement agents shot and killed a man in Minneapolis on Jan. 24 according to local police officials. DHS told Fox News that the man was “armed with a gun”. A video of the shooting appears to show that a gun was taken from the man before the first shot was fired. x.com/BillMelugin_...

@reuters.com read piles of abandoned embassy papers about Tehran’s economic strategy in Assad-era Syria. Turns out the Iranians just got robbed and scammed until they wept, like everyone else.

Iran dreamed up a US-style Marshall Plan to rebuild Syria after the civil war. It invested billions to build influence there. Documents from its looted embassy show how that plan went spectacularly wrong with the fall of Bashar al-Assad reut.rs/3Ypri76

Text from Reuters story: “On Saturday evening, agents from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security arrested Khalil in front of his wife, a U.S. citizen who is eight months pregnant, in their building's lobby, telling him his student visa had been revoked, according to Amy Greer, a lawyer for Khalil. “Khalil has held a U.S. permanent residency green card since 2024, Greer said in a statement. His wife showed the agents Khalil's green card and they also threatened to arrest her if she did not leave her lobby, Greer said. “They then said the green card was also revoked, declining to give a reason, and handcuffed Khalil, Greer said. “Hours before his arrest, Khalil told Reuters he was concerned that the government was targeting him for his high-profile comments about what he calls an anti-war movement to the media.”

Three aircraft experts said the downed plane was very likely an Ilyushin 76 cargo plane - similar to one downed in North Darfur in October - based on footage showing pieces of the engine and landing gear.

An RSF source and a Western security analyst said the downing of an army plane on Sunday evening demonstrated new RSF anti-aircraft capabilities at Nyala. A local humanitarian source said the aircraft bombed the airport twice before it was shot down by anti-aircraft fire.

They arrived at the United States border from around the world, hoping to seek asylum. Instead, they were detained, shackled and flown by the U.S. military to a faraway country, Panama. They were stripped of their passports and most of their cellphones, they said, and then locked in a hotel, barred from seeing lawyers and told they would soon be sent to a makeshift camp near the Panamanian jungle. At the hotel, at least one person tried to commit suicide, according to several migrants. Another broke his leg trying to escape. A third sent a plaintive missive from a hidden cellphone: “Only a miracle can save us.”
