    TRUMP WITHDRAWS US FROM UN HUMAN RIGHTS COUNCIL, HALTS FUNDING FOR UNRWA The Executive Order said it withdrew Washington from UNHRC and the main UN relief agency for Palestinians (UNRWA), and would review involvement in the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and other UN bodies Donald Trump has signed an executive order withdrawing the US from the UN human rights council and prohibiting future funding for the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA). US funding to UNRWA was suspended in 2024 under Joe Biden’s administration, after Israel accused a handful of UNRWA employees of participating in the Hamas attacks on 7 October 2023. A series of investigations, including one led by the French former foreign minister Catherine Colonna, found some “neutrality related issues” at UNRWA – but emphasised Israel had not provided evidence for its headline allegation. Trump’s first administration cut funding to the agency in 2018 before the Biden administration restarted it again in 2021. The first Trump administration also withdrew the US from the UN’s Human rRghts Council in 2018 and the Biden administration rejoined the body three years later. Donald Trump spoke to reporters as he signed executive orders preventing the US from providing support to the UN’s agency for Palestinian refugees (Unrwa) and withdrawing from the UN’s human rights council. Trump said he believed the UN has “tremendous potential” but “it’s not being well run”. “They’ve got to get their act together,” he said.

    STREETS EMPTY IN US OVER FEAR OF ARREST AMID TRUMP’S IMMIGRATION CRACKDOWN

    STREETS EMPTY IN US OVER FEARS OF ARREST AMID TRUMP’S IMMIGRATION CRACKDOWN Some streets in Chicago have changed under Donald Trump’s immigration policies, as communities retreat into the shadows amid intensified ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) raids targeting undocumented immigrants. In Little Village, a predominantly Hispanic neighborhood on the city’s south side, streets that were once lively now look empty. Locals told Sky News that fewer people are venturing outside due to fear of being caught up in the crackdown. The initial focus, officials say, is on targeting migrant criminals, but there is also concern over ‘collateral arrests,’ where undocumented immigrants not initially targeted could be detained. As a result, even those with legal status are exercising caution. One resident, Steve, shared his fears for his mother, who came from Mexico years ago without proper documentation. “She crossed the border over here to get a better life for us when we were born, to get education and all. She’s scared to go out there, that she might get picked up,” he told Sky News. At a local community center that provides support to migrants, staff have ramped up security measures. A gate at the entrance now remains closed, and workers begin their day by surveying the streets for immigration officers. A notice on the front door advises migrants on what to do if ICE arrives. Inside the center, Oliber, a Venezuelan migrant working legally in the U.S. with a valid work permit, described how fear has altered his daily life. “I feel scared,” he said. “I go out feeling frightened. I don’t go out now like I used to. I used to go out every day until night-time, I’d work at any time, but now I can’t go out anywhere.” He added: “There are rumours about migrants and I’m scared, that they might catch me, deport me. My family depends on me. I can’t go out like I used to, I’m scared, I’m scared.”
