Alleged gang members sit in a prison cell at the Terrorism Confinement Center in El Salvador
El Salvador offers Venezuela prisoner swap involving US deportees
SAN SALVADOR — El Salvador's president has offered to repatriate 252 Venezuelans deported by the US and imprisoned in his country — if Venezuela releases the same number of political prisoners.Nayib Bukele appealed directly to Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro in a post on social media.He said many of the Venezuelan deportees had committed "rape and murder", while Venezuelan political prisoners were jailed only because they opposed Maduro, whose re-election last year is widely disputed.The Venezuelan government argues that it has no political prisoners — a claim rejected by rights groups.In a post on X, Bukele wrote: "I want to propose you [Maduro] a humanitarian agreement calling for the repatriation of 100% of the 252 Venezuelans who were deported, in exchange...

US lays out plans to hit Chinese ships with port fees
WASHINGTON — The US has revealed plans to impose port fees on Chinese ships to try to revive shipbuilding in the US and challenge China's dominance of the industry.From mid-October, Chinese ship owners and operators will be charged $50 per ton of cargo with the fees increasing each year for the next three years.There have been concerns that the measures would further disrupt global trade after US President Donald Trump's raft of tariff policies, but the fee is less severe than originally suggested.China's foreign ministry spokesperson said the fees will raise prices for US consumers and "will not revitalize the US shipbuilding industry".The US Trade Representative (USTR) said: "China has largely achieved its dominance goals, severely disadvantaging US...

US senator meets man mistakenly deported to El Salvador
LOS ANGELES — A US senator has met with a man who Trump administration officials have acknowledged was deported in error from Maryland to a mega-prison in El Salvador.Maryland Senator Chris Van Hollen posted photos of his meeting with Kilmar Ábrego García, whom the administration has refused to return to the US despite an order from a federal judge.After the meeting, El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele also refused to release Ábrego García and said he would remain in the country's custody.The White House has accused Ábrego García of being a member of the transnational Salvadoran gang MS-13, a designated foreign terrorist organization, which his lawyer denies.The meeting comes amid an escalating showdown between the president and the courts on immigration, a day after a...

People evacuate FSU's campus
Emergency alerts, desks barricading doors, shoes abandoned in the grass 
TALLAHASSEE, Florida — It was an ordinary afternoon for Jayden D’Onofrio, who was spending time with a friend at their apartment complex when they received a text that made their blood run cold.An active shooter was on campus, and their friend was hiding in the library.Without a second thought, they ran to her.A perfect, sun-drenched Florida spring day had suddenly descended into horror when a gunman began firing at victims near Florida State University’s student union building, marking the next chapter in America’s grim epidemic of gun violence.“That is one of the most gutting feelings possible, to not know if your friends are okay... and if they’re going to make it through that moment,” D’Onofrio told CNN.“There’s no words to sort of describe that feeling and that...

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and President Donald trump meet in the Oval Office at the White House in Washington, DC, on Thursday
Trump finds kindred European spirit in Meloni
WASHINGTON — It took Italy’s Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni exactly two sentences in the Oval Office on Thursday to signal to her host she was a kindred spirit.“We both share another fight, which is the fight against the woke and DEI ideology that would like to erase our history,” she proclaimed in English, using some of President Donald Trump’s favorite codewords to describe her battle against what they see as progressive ideals run amok.It was an unsubtle attempt to make clear from the get-go she was not the kind of European leader Trump has hosted in the same room over the course of the past two months.Populist, conservative and a shrewd political operator, Meloni has captured the attention of Trump and his advisers. She was the lone leader from Europe to attend his...

Harvard, America's oldest and richest university, is weighing its next moves after refusing to make key changes the White House has demanded
Trump administration threatens to block Harvard from enrolling international students
WASHINGTON — Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is threatening to strip Harvard University of its ability to enroll international students if it doesn’t turn over records on international students’ “illegal and violent activities,” the agency said Wednesday.Noem “wrote a scathing letter demanding detailed records on Harvard’s foreign student visa holders’ illegal and violent activities by April 30, 2025, or face immediate loss of Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) certification,” DHS said in a news release.The certification allows universities to issue forms to admitted international students that they can then use to apply for visas to enter the United States, according to DHS.With 6,793 international students attending Harvard, they comprise 27.2% of its...
