A federal judge in Texas on Friday ruled that the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program (DACA), which granted pseudo amnesty for illegal immigrants under the age of 30 who were brought to the United States as minors, is illegal, reports the Wall Street Journal.
VIENNA (Sputnik) – The European Union must respond to Belarus, Afghanistan and Turkey that attempt to use migrants as a weapon against the bloc, Austrian Foreign Minister Alexander Schallenberg said on 12 July.
The minister noted he had been aware of reports of Afghanistan’s intention to suspend deportations for three months, calling it absolutely unacceptable given the agreements between the country and the EU.
Human rights groups and politicians in Spain have spoken out after a court ruled that a controversial and false election poster for the far-right Vox party should not be withdrawn because it is legitimate political expression, and because the unaccompanied foreign minors it depicts in a relentlessly negative light are “an obvious social and political problem”.
The former head of Germany’s intelligence agency has criticised the country’s leader Angela Merkel over her immigration policies, saying that they are leading the country into a decline.
Hans-Georg Maassen previously ran the Office for the Protection of the Constitution in Germany for six years before being forced out in 2018 after publicly contradicting the chancellor’s claims that foreigners had been ‘hunted’ in the city of Chemnitz during civil unrest in the area.
The 58-year-old’s remarks at the time, which questioned evidence of such ‘hunts’, caused a huge scandal and rocked Mrs Merkel’s Christian Democratic Union (CDU).
The violent death of a young girl has drawn attention to Afghans in Austria. In their communities, young men with refugee experience are in the majority.
The dismay and sensational reporting of the murder of a 13-year-old girl in or near a sheltered apartment in Vienna-Donaustadt has sowed distrust of people from Afghanistan living in Austria. This is not the first time this has happened: in recent years, crimes committed by mostly Afghan men have repeatedly stirred up a stir, raised fear and prompted calls for stricter laws in asylum matters.
These were often sex crimes, rape in parks or other public places. The 13-year-old girl who was killed is also believed to show signs of sexual violence. Do men from this Central Asian country really commit assault more often than others? Is the criminal energy among Afghans particularly pronounced? What do we know about the 45,000 men and women living in Austria, from a country ravaged by terrorist attacks and war for decades?
A look at police crime statistics shows: The vast majority of Afghans in the country are unsuspected in terms of criminal law. In 2020, they were suspected of a total of 4,877 offenses, including every report filed. They accounted for 1.8% of all suspected offenses that year.
There are 4 suspects, 2 still on the run.

An illegal alien out of jail on bail in New Mexico is now accused of beheading a man and then kicking the man’s head around like a soccer ball, Breitbart News has learned.
Joel Arciniega-Saenz, a 25-year-old illegal alien, was indicted by a grand jury this week after being arrested for allegedly murdering 51-year-old James Garcia in Dona Ana County, New Mexico, the day after Father’s Day.
Though the idea of doubling the number of asylum seekers and refugees admitted to Canada, as the Liberals intend to do, may sound nice, it ignores the reality that many of them will face poor outcomes once they arrive, residing in homeless shelters and living off the largesse of the state.
A poll has revealed that 62 per cent of French people would support holding a nationwide referendum on the subject of limiting immigration to France.
On her first foreign trip as vice-president, Harris visited Guatemala on Monday. At a press conference with Guatemala’s president, Alejandro Giammattei, the former California senator spoke about investigating corruption and human trafficking in Central America, and described a future where Guatemalans could find “hope at home”.
But she also had a clear message that undocumented Guatemalan migrants would not find solace at the US border under the Biden administration.
“I want to be clear to folks in the region who are thinking about making that dangerous trek to the United States-Mexico border,” she said. “Do not come. Do not come.”
Later Monday, Oscasio-Cortez condemned Harris on Twitter, calling her comments “disappointing to see”.
“The Current Asylum System Has Failed”
The Danish Parliament has passed a new law that will allow the government to deport asylum seekers to countries outside of the European Union to have their cases considered abroad. The legislation is widely seen as a first step toward moving the country’s asylum screening process beyond Danish borders.
The law, proposed by the Social Democrat-led government, is aimed at discouraging frivolous asylum applications. It has been greeted with fury by those who favor mass migration, presumably out of fear that other EU countries may now follow Denmark’s lead.
In a 9-0 decision issued Monday morning, the Supreme Court ruled that a law, barring illegal immigrants from seeking green cards, is constitutional and that those illegal immigrants who later earned a Temporary Protected Status (TPS) are still ineligible to apply for permanent residency.
Britain is braced for a summer of migrant chaos after more than 1,600 arrived across the Channel in the past month – more than double last year’s total for May – and 500 were brought in over the final four days of last month alone.
This is despite Priti Patel’s announcement of an immigration crackdown in March, and following an agreement with the French authorities to crack down and effectively stop migrant crossings by last spring.
But the Home Secretary’s vow lies in tatters this summer as Home Office sources blame the French for not doing enough to stop the crossings and intercept boats before they even set sail, despite being handed a £28million fund of UK taxpayers’ money to do so.
Spain has deployed troops after record numbers of migrants entered its enclave of Ceuta from neighbouring Morocco.
At least 6,000 people reached Ceuta in a single day, Spanish officials say.
They say the migrants – who include about 1,500 minors – either swam around the border fences that jut out into the sea or walked across at low tide.
Spain’s Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez has vowed to restore order. Spain says it has already sent some 2,700 migrants back – but not the minors.
As of today, more than one-third of all Swedish residents have some kind of foreign background, and their share continues to grow, owing to continued immigration and demographic trends that include differences in fertility rates.
If the current level of immigration persists, Swedes will become a minority in their own country within 45 years, according to a Finnish researcher, Kyösti Tarvainen, associate professor emeritus in systems analysis at Aalto University in Helsinki.
In a setback for refugee advocates, the Federal Court of Appeal has rejected the argument that it is unconstitutional for Canada to turn back refugees at the U.S. land border and prevent them from seeking asylum in this country.
The court sided with the federal government Thursday in overturning a lower court decision that had called into question the future of the Safe Third Country Agreement (STCA), amid arguments that the United States cannot be considered a safe country for asylum seekers.
The decision will have devastating effects on would-be refugee claimants, their advocates say.
