AI Summary:
Rumours of widespread raids, often false, are leaving many migrant communities afraid to venture outside. The event comes on the heels of street protests Sunday in California and elsewhere. Paul, Minnesota, shut for the whole day in 2017. But on Monday, it stayed open for a few hours with a skeleton crew. Many staffers expressed concern about losing a work day and depriving people in the neighborhood of access to groceries. Utah Senate President Stuart Adams says law-abiding immigrants should have nothing to worry about. “The only people that are being talked about being deported (are) criminals, those that are on probation, those bad people who have committed difficult crimes,” Adams says.

AI Summary:
Narendra Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party has won two state elections in northern Haryana and western Maharashtra states. It is up against the Aam Aadmi Party, or AAP, led by Arvind Kejriwal. Both Modi and Kejrewal have offered to revamp government schools, free health services and electricity. Kejriwal was arrested last year along with two key leaders of his party ahead of national elections on charges of receiving bribes from a liquor distributor. The accusations have been consistently denied as part of an alleged political conspiracy. He relinquished the chief minister’s post to his most senior party leader, Atishi. Kejriwal says he is not here for Aam Aadmi Party. "I am here for the progress of your families, and to provide a future for your children," he says.

AI Summary:
Moscow’s renewed attacks on Ukraine’s electricity infrastructure this winter have heightened scrutiny over the Energy Ministry's failure to protect the country’s most critical energy facilities near nuclear power sites. Two years of punishing Russian strikes on its power grid have left Ukraine reliant on nuclear power for more than half of its electricity generation. Especially vulnerable are the unprotected nuclear switchyards located outside the perimeters of its three functioning nuclear plants. Ukraine's nuclear plants have backup emergency power systems. A disruption could spell disaster, the U.N. Nuclear agency has warned since the Russian attacks began in August. The list of grievances, which also censured Energy Minister Herman Haluschenko, must still be voted on by parliament. The task of building protections for energy transmission substations fell to state and private companies, with the Energy Ministry supervising. Three layers of fortifications were ordered: sandbags followed by cement barricades capable of withstanding drone attacks and — the most costly and least complete — iron-and-steel-fortified structures. The tender for the Rivne Nuclear Power Plant was even later, at the end of November. Construction is not expected to be completed until 2026, the contract documents said. Concerns over the delays were raised repeatedly in closed-door meetings. IAEA inspection teams led some in the Ukrainian government to believe the country's nuclear sites were off-limits for Russian attacks. But that has proven to be a major miscalculation. "Why didn’t they react?" Kudrytskyi, the former Ukrenergo director, said of the Energy Ministry's failure to respond to the series of warnings.

AI Summary:
Fatima* is among a handful of Rohingya children in Khajuri Khas. Many other children like her, including her younger brother Ahmed*, have been denied school admission for years. On Christmas Day in December, tens of thousands of Delhi’s pupils looked forward to a winter break. Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) controls 20 of India’s 36 states and federally-controlled provinces (called Union Territories) The BJP-appointed lieutenant governor of Delhi ordered a special drive to identify and act against illegal immigrants from Bangladesh. Bangladesh hosts more than a million Rohingya, a mainly Muslim ethnic group. It was the largest exodus of the community which had been fleeing state persecution in Buddhist-majority Myanmar for decades. The Hindu majoritarian party has repeatedly accused the AAP of adding illegal Bangladeshis to voter lists in order to expand its vote base. Amit Shah promised that if the BJP came to power, it would free Delhi of illegal Bangladeshi migrants in two years. Shah – and many in his party – have in the past referred to Bangladeshi immigrants as “termites” and “infiltrators”. “We did not come here for politics, we came to save our lives,” he said. BJP has outdone the BJP in targeting the Rohingya, professor Apoorvanand says. Mohammad says denying Rohingya children education is not a new phenomenon in the city. He says unlike Fatima, his 10-year-old son Faizan has not been able to join school. The situation worsened in late 2019 when Modi’s government passed a controversial citizenship law. Ali Johar is the first Rohingya female graduate from India. Their sister Tasmida is now pursuing her master’s in politics from Canada’s Wilfrid Laurier University under a UNHCR-Duolingo programme.

AI Summary:
AFC/M23 rebel coalition announced late on Monday that it would implement a unilateral ceasefire starting on Tuesday. The group, backed by thousands of troops from neighbouring Rwanda, seized Goma last week. Calls have been mounting for a humanitarian corridor to be established to allow people to escape the fighting. UN said on Monday that at least 900 bodies have been recovered from the streets of Goma. The actual death toll is likely to be significantly higher, with the total not including those already taken to the morgue. The announcement of the pause in the fighting came ahead of a regional summit. DRC President Felix Tshisekedi and Rwandan President Paul Kagame have previously failed to attend talks attempting to broker peace.

AI Summary:
Donald Trump is planning to cut off US engagement with the United Nations Human Rights Council, an unnamed White House official told US media outlets. Trump was expected to sign an executive order withdrawing from the two UN bodies on Tuesday, the same day the White House is expected to host Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Since taking office for a second term on January 20, Trump has already withdrawn the US from the World Health Organization and the Paris climate agreement. UNRWA order comes as Netanyahu visits White House Trump’s plan to sign another executive order specifically targeting the embattled UNrWA coincides with Netanyahu’s visit to the White House. Israel’s parliament passed two bills banning UNRW operations within Israel’’s borders, including occupied East Jerusalem, which came into effect last week. UNRWA is playing a vital role in Gaza’s recovery as a fragile ceasefire continues to hold between Israel and Hamas. Trump and Netanyahu are expected to discuss the next phase of the ceasefire deal.

AI Summary:
Elon Musk is tightening his control over broad swaths of the United States government. In the two weeks since Trump’s inauguration, Musk has upended the federal bureaucracy. Musk’s lieutenants have brought the work of the US’s main foreign aid agency to a halt. “Special government employees” are subject to “most” ethics rules that apply to ordinary government employees. Under the law, they are restricted from “participating in matters” that affect their financial interests and “may” be required to submit a financial disclosure report within 30 days of assuming a position. A group of government workers filed a lawsuit against the Treasury Department and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. The lawsuit alleges that DOGE’s access to the payments unlawfully compromised the privacy of millions of Americans. In a news conference, Chuck Schumer said that the US was witnessing the “hostile takeover of the federal government” by an “unelected shadow government”. Trump says Musk can’t do anything without approval of his administration. “Where we think there’s a conflict or a problem, we won’t let him go near it,” Trump says. Musk’s influence over the government showed unprecedented disregard for the law.
