The DC shooting story is really getting to me because we literally trained this man as a child soldier for a death squad in a forever war and Stephen Miller et al want to blame it on other cultures? It's our culture, American culture, that killed that woman.

So, ordering enforced disappearance—an international crime.
BREAKING:
“After receiving that legal advice, Secretary Noem directed that the AEA detainees who had been removed from the United States before the Court’s order could be transferred to the custody of El Salvador. “

Germany would make a capable host for the Olympic / Paralympic Games. Why can't these 4 centres all take part: with investment in rail links, can't travel between at least 2/3 of them become considerably faster? When London hosted 2012, group stage women's football was in Manchester, for example.
Germany is keen to host the Summer Olympic & Paralympic Games.
The four cities & regions that have expressed interest are: Berlin, Hamburg, Munich and the Rhein-Ruhr region.
In Autumn 2026 the German Olympic Sports Confederation will choose which one will enter the competition to host the Games.

Having consulted barrister, Eric Fripp’s book on the international law of refugee status, I conclude that the policy is mostly bark, little bite. It is for show. Yes, the integration point is germane, alongside ‘effective nationality’ of people they want to remove after, eg, 10-15 years. Woof.
The basic problem with the temporary refugee status policy - especially one lasting up to 20 years - is it leads to very few removals (based on Denmark's experience) but does significantly worsen integration.
