Deep dives
Jerusalem Bus Stop Attack
Three people were killed and at least six were injured in a bus stop attack in Jerusalem. Two Hamas terrorists opened fire on the crowd, but they were shot dead by off-duty soldiers and an armed citizen who returned fire. The suspects were identified as brothers affiliated with Hamas and had previous terror-related charges. This attack occurred after a ceasefire extension deal between Israel and Hamas and may impact the ongoing negotiations.
Restricting Asylum Seekers and Funding Homeland Security
Congress is working on a deal that could limit the admission of asylum seekers into the US. The proposed deal would raise the threshold for approving asylum claims by immigration judges and restrict the number of migrants allowed to stay in the country during claim assessment. Additionally, some lawmakers are raising questions about funding the Department of Homeland Security without stronger border security measures. They argue that securing the southern border should be a priority before discussing other issues.
