These officers are well trained: Tom Homan on confusion over what ICE will do at airports amid TSA crisis

ये अधिकारी अच्छी तरह से प्रशिक्षित हैं: टीएसए संकट के बीच हवाई अड्डों पर आईसीई क्या करेगा, इस पर भ्रम पर टॉम होमन

Tom Homan confirms ICE deployment at airports will begin Monday

White House border czar Tom Homan said ICE agents would be deployed to airports across the country on Monday to help TSA officers, who have been working without pay for more than five weeks during the partial Homeland Security shutdown. 24 hours before the plan went into effect, Tom Homan said he was working on a plan to deploy ICE agents to major airports that have seen the longest wait times.“Securing an exit, how much planning is required to ensure that no one can come through that exit?” Homan said.Homan said there isn’t much need for a plan to cover evacuations because ICE agents are highly trained. “You know, certainly a highly trained ICE law enforcement officer can cover an exit. Making sure people don’t go through those exits, enter an airport through the exits and things like that, relieves the TSA officer from having to go to screening and reduce those lines,” Homan said.President Donald Trump said Saturday he would deploy ICE agents to airports by Monday to help reduce long lines. “ICE will work better than ever!” He wrote in Truth Social post on Saturday.But what will ICE agents do? Homan said they would help move the lines. They will not see the X-ray machine because they are not trained in it. “Wherever we can provide additional security – I don’t see any ICE agents looking at an X-ray machine because [they’re] Not trained in it. There are certain pieces of security that TSA is doing, that we can remove them from those jobs and put them into specialty jobs, help move those lines forward,” he said.Immigration enforcement by ICE will also continue at the airports. More than 400 TSA agents have walked off the job since the shutdown began after lawmakers in the Senate failed to reach an agreement on funding DHS. As the standoff continued, Elon Musk offered to pay TSA workers’ salaries on Saturday. “I would like to offer to pay the salaries of TSA personnel during this funding impasse that is negatively impacting the lives of so many Americans at airports across the country,” Musk posted on Twitter.

‘Fighter Didi’ teaser projects Mamata as Bengal’s lone shield, hints at TMC’s fight for the polls india news

'Fighter Didi' teaser shows Mamata as Bengal's lone shield, hints at TMC's battle pitch for elections

Kolkata: The battle lines for the 2026 West Bengal Assembly elections continue to sharpen. Trinamool Congress An animated teaser titled ‘Fighter Didi’ was released on Sunday, featuring the Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee As the last line of defense of Bengali identity against what the party calls “external forces”.The 16-minute video, divided into episodes, released on the party’s social media platforms, blends political messaging with cinematic symbolism – dark clouds loom over Bengal, anxious citizens look towards the sky, and a looming silhouette holding a saffron flag, an unmistakeable dig at the BJP.

Eid politics heats up in Bengal: Mamata Banerjee attacks BJP, Suvendu Adhikari takes Sanatan Katha forward

If the opening frames depict a state in danger, the closing sequence is designed to deliver the punchline – a determined Banerjee emerges as a fighter, flanked by images of Goddess Durga and a Royal Bengal Tiger, before the slogan ‘Fighter Didi’ flashes across the screen.The teaser is the second installment of TMC’s campaign video series and comes days after the party unveiled its “10 pledges” and released the list of candidates for 291 seats, signaling that the ruling party has started shifting gears for what promises to be one of the fiercest electoral battles in the state’s recent political history.At the heart of the teaser is a theme that TMC has increasingly pursued in recent years – the defense of Bengali identity.In one striking frame, a giant hand stamps the word “Bangladeshi” on official-looking documents and Bengali text flashes on the screen, warning against attempts at “identity snatching.”The picture is widely seen as a dig at the BJP’s push for the National Register of Citizens (NRC) and the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) – issues the TMC has repeatedly highlighted as an existential threat to Bengalis and migrants in the state.The teaser also delves into the cultural psyche of Bengal – a region where Banerjee often tries to counter the BJP’s aggressive Hindutva narrative with a mix of regional pride and cultural symbolism.Animated scenes show portraits of Bengal icons like Rabindranath Tagore and Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose being vandalized, while a statue of Tagore is shown collapsing – an apparent reference to previous political flashpoints that the TMC has used to accuse the BJP of disrespecting Bengal’s heritage.Another character, resembling a prominent BJP leader with glowing eyes and shadowy enforcers behind him, appears as the antagonist in the sequence – reinforcing the narrative of an outside political force threatening the cultural fabric of the state.Political observers said the teaser outlines a campaign template that has served Banerjee well in the past – turning the elections into a binary contest between the “daughter of Bengal” and “outsiders from Delhi”.This formula played a decisive role in the 2021 assembly elections, when Banerjee challenged the BJP’s massive campaign to secure a third consecutive term, riding on the wave of Bengali sub-nationalism and welfare politics.With the BJP once again projecting itself as the major challenger in the 2026 contest, the TMC appears keen to revive that narrative at the start of the campaign cycle.Within the party, the pitch of ‘Fighter Didi’ is being seen as more than just campaign branding.Strategists said the idea is to frame Banerjee not just as an incumbent seeking re-election, but as a combative defender of Bengal’s political and cultural autonomy — a narrative aimed at strengthening TMC’s core support base while energizing cadres ahead of a long election campaign.The message is clear: the upcoming elections are not just another electoral contest but, at the behest of TMC, a fight to save Bengal.If the teaser is any indication, the 2026 assembly elections are likely to be fought not just on governance and welfare but also on the emotional terrain of identity, culture and regional pride themes that have shaped the state’s political battles time and again.And in that story, TMC is making it clear who it wants to cast as the hero.

शनिवार शाम करीब 6 बजे जब पुलिस आरोपी को कोर्ट लेकर पहुंची तो वह लंगड़ाते हुए नजर आया. बताया जा रहा है कि घटना के बाद भागते वक्त उन्हें चोट लगी है. कोर्ट से बाहर निकलते वक्त जब उससे हत्या की वजह और पछतावे के बारे में सवाल पूछा गया तो उसने मुंह पर रूमाल बांध लिया और आंखें नीचे कर लीं और कोई जवाब नहीं दिया.

आठ राउंड फायरिंग करने के बाद आरोपी मौके से भाग गए थे।
जानकारी के मुताबिक, शुक्रवार सुबह करीब 10:15 बजे आरोपी मंजीत चौहान ने सूर्या पर आठ राउंड फायरिंग की थी. इसके बाद वह कॉलेज की पहली मंजिल से कूदकर भाग गया। शाम करीब 5:45 बजे वह अपने पैर का इलाज कराने जा रहा था, तभी मुखबिर की सूचना पर पुलिस ने उसे शिवपुर स्थित रामेश्वर महादेव इंटर कॉलेज के पास से गिरफ्तार कर लिया.

चार साल पुरानी दुश्मनी बनी हत्या की वजह
एडीसीपी वरुणा जोन नीतू कादयान के मुताबिक, मंजीत और सूर्या के बीच करीब चार साल से दुश्मनी थी। दोनों अलग-अलग ग्रुप से जुड़े थे और कई बार झगड़ा भी कर चुके थे। जांच में पता चला है कि सूर्या ने पिछले एक महीने में मंजीत को दो-तीन बार पीटा था। शुक्रवार को असाइनमेंट जमा करने के दौरान दोनों के बीच फिर बहस हुई, जो हत्या तक पहुंच गई.

दूसरे आरोपी की तलाश जारी, पिता ने लगाए गंभीर आरोप
पुलिस की पूछताछ में मंजीत ने स्वीकार किया कि उसने अपने दोस्त अनुज सिंह के साथ मिलकर प्रशासनिक भवन के पास सूर्या पर चार से पांच राउंड फायरिंग की थी. हालांकि, अनुज अभी भी फरार है और पुलिस की छह टीमें उसे पकड़ने के लिए लगातार छापेमारी कर रही हैं. मृतक के पिता ऋषि देव सिंह ने कॉलेज के प्रिंसिपल पर भी हत्या में शामिल होने का आरोप लगाया है और कड़ी कार्रवाई की मांग की है. उन्होंने आरोपियों के लिए मौत की सजा की भी मांग की है.

Can I convert H-1B to B-1/B-2 after being fired from a job in the US? Immigration experts explain what to keep in mind

क्या अमेरिका में नौकरी से निकाले जाने के बाद एच-1बी बी-1/बी-2 में बदल सकते हैं? आप्रवासन विशेषज्ञ बताते हैं कि किन बातों का ध्यान रखना चाहिए

Switching from H-1B to B-1 or B-2 was a time-tested legal path to remain in the US when one loses their job, but this path has now come under scrutiny.

Changing status from H-1B to B-1/B-2 visa is considered a safe and legal way to stay in the US if an H-1-B visa holder loses his/her job. But now USCIS is not allowing this, even if all legalities are maintained. There is no new rule outlawing this but USCIS has archived website pages that indicate that job searches and interviews may be permitted under the B-1 or B-2 classification. According to immigration experts, it is unclear whether ‘archived’ means ‘canceled’ and whether USCIS now considers it illegal. But several cases have emerged in recent months where USCIS did not allow former H-1Bs to switch to B-1/B-2 status after losing their jobs.

From H-1B to B-1/B-2: What’s the issue?

When an H-1B worker loses employment, he or she gets a 6-0 day grace period to look for another job. For years, immigration experts advised them to file Form I-539 and change their status to B-1 or B-2. Both of these B visas are for tourists, while B-1 is for business purposes. But now it is being denied because job searching is not an acceptable activity for a tourist visa holder. And if someone switches from B-1/B-2 to H-1B after finding a job, it becomes easier for the administration to take action because they can say the person never had ‘tourist’ intentions. Immigration attorney Emily Newman said USCIS has not clarified whether they have changed their policy since switching from H-1B to B-2 was previously allowed. By law, one cannot start work under a B-1 or B-2 visa but looking for jobs is not restricted. Newman said, “The statute has not been amended to prohibit job searches under B-2. The regulation has not been rewritten. Unless the legal authority changes, the prohibition remains what Congress enacted: employment, not exploration.”

what changed? Strict scrutiny on B-2 filing

Newman said the recent denials show that B-1/B-2 filings following H-1B layoffs are being scrutinized more closely. This does not mean that filing a B-2 is impossible at all, but applicants must document their case carefully. they have to

  • Non-immigrant intent to show that they do not plan to stay permanently
  • Prove financial ability to support yourself without a job in the US
  • They have a place of residence outside the US to which they intend to return
