US tries to deport stateless Palestinian woman again despite judge’s order
Ward Sakeik was detained in February on her way home from her honeymoon in the US Virgin Islands
The US government has tried for the second time to deport a stateless Palestinian woman, according to court documents – despite a judge’s order barring her removal.
Ward Sakeik, a 22-year-old newlywed, was detained in February on her way home from her honeymoon in the US Virgin Islands. Last month, the government attempted to deport her without informing her where she was being sent, according to her husband, Taahir Shaikh. An officer eventually told her that she would be sent to the Israel border – just hours before Israel launched airstrikes on Iran.
After her lawyers filed suit on her behalf, US district judge Ed Kinkeade issued an order on 22 June barring the government from deporting Sakeik or removing her from the Texas district where she is being detained while her case is decided.

USAID cuts may lead to more than 14 million deaths globally, including 4.5 million children under 5 by 2030, researchers say
- Projections by the researchers show that if USAID cuts continue, more than 14 million additional deaths could occur by 2030, including over 4.5 million among children under 5, or about 700,000 extra child deaths per year.
- The figures reflect the projected consequences of halting funding not only for health services but also for critical sectors such as nutrition, education, water and sanitation and humanitarian relief.
- The study warns that the impact of USAID cuts could extend beyond the agency’s own programs: international donors may also reduce their commitments, further weakening service delivery in countries already dependent on external support.

America stands at a crossroads. Down one road lies the fragile promise of democracy: messy, imperfect, but built on the belief in human dignity and the rule of law. Down the other lies the swamp—where cruelty is policy, and fear is law.thom-hartmann (Common Dreams)

Economy of Genocide: UN Report Links Western Firms to Israeli War Crimes
A powerful new report submitted to the UN Human Rights Council by Francesca Albanese, the Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967, is drawing sharp condemnation — not only from Israel but also from the United States.Titled ‘From Economy of Occupation to Economy of Genocide’, the report delivers a searing indictment of corporate involvement in Israel’s settler-colonial enterprise and its ongoing genocidal war on Gaza, accusing private and state-linked companies of enabling apartheid, war crimes, and genocide.
