    Jalal "Jay" Shehadeh had no reason to believe he was under suspicion from the government. A former assistant state attorney in Florida, he traveled frequently without problems and was preapproved for fast-track border access under the Global Entry program. And he had no problem getting through Israel's notoriously strict airport security while visiting family in the Palestinian territories. But on the way home, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) held Shehadeh for four hours at Newark Liber

    Homeland Security admits to watchlisting Americans based on ‘potential inaccuracies’ (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) acknowledged in court filings on Monday that "potential inaccuracies were identified" in the database it is using to look for illegal foreign voters—and that its investigation process carries the risk that "in rare circumstances U.S. citizens might be incorrectly identified as aliens." The department's lawyers told the court that "there are various safeguards in place to prevent mistakenly contacting a U.S. citizen" for interrogation, but its filings do

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Russia had its infamous "three-day special military operation" in Ukraine. America now has its "short-term excursion" into Iran. In February 2026, when he chose to start the war, President Donald Trump promised the public that it would last only "four or five weeks" and promised other leaders that it would be won in three to four days.

Although I was too young to fully grasp what the burning towers across the Hudson River meant, I soon came to understand that many families around us had lost someone forever. (I later learned that, like many other New Yorkers, my aunt barely missed becoming one of the victims by being late to work.)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    President Donald Trump has made a lot of hay about the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) unfairly persecuting Americans. But his administration is quietly setting up far more intrusive financial surveillance of citizens. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has set up a secretive unit that refers Americans to local police based on "suspicious" financial transactions, recent court documents reveal. Meanwhile, the Treasury Department is fighting to maintain a program that would require money tra
