The July 23, 2019 rule targeted immigrants across the nation who could not prove they had been in the U.S. continuously for two years or more
Prior to expansion, the rule applied to a 100-mile zone from the border, to those who had arrived by sea or to those who had been in the U.S. 14 days or fewer
A DHS withdrawal notice said that the Trump-era rule had been used so infrequently due to 'operational complexities and limited utility
Currently most people who arrive at the border are immediately deported under Title 42, a CDC coronavirus public health order
The U.S. could be just hours away from another wave of mass migration if Biden lifts Title 42, with 170,000 waiting on Mexican side of border

Rights groups have condemned a decline in media freedoms and increasing attacks on journalists since the Taliban swept back to power last year with the United Nations calling for an end to “intimidation and threats against journalists” after the latest arrest. Read the rest at the link
[AlAhram] Egypt and Israel have agreed to expand direct flights between the two countries, launching next month a direct flight route between Tel Aviv and Sharm El-Sheikh during the Jewish holiday Passover, Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett’s office announced on Wednesday.
According to the Israeli PM’s office, the new agreement was formulated over the last few days and was finalised on Tuesday in Egypt by an Israeli delegation led by the Israeli Security Agency (ISA) and the Egyptian government.
Although the Israeli statement confirmed that the direct flights are expected to begin during the intermediate days of Passover in April, no official confirmation has been announced by the Egyptian Civil Aviation Ministry so far.
The Egyptian flagship carrier has no direct flights between Sharm El-Sheikh and the Israeli capital except for transit flights.
"This agreement will further warm the relations between Israel and Egypt," Bennett was quoted as saying in the statement, adding that the cooperation between our two countries is expanding in many fields and this is contributing to both peoples and to regional stability.
According to the Israeli PM’s office, the expansion of flight routes was discussed during a meeting between Egypt’s President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi and Israeli PM Bennet during his visit to Sharm El-Sheikh in September.
Bennett’s visit was the first visit by an Israeli prime minister to Egypt since 2011.
Following the visit, Egypt’s state-owned airline EgyptAir announced that it would operate four direct flights weekly from Cairo to Tel Aviv for the first time in decades.
In October, the first EgyptAir flight arrived at Israel’s Ben-Gurion airport.
Oh dear. How on earth will Pakistan be able to pay its pet jihadis now, not to mention running the country back home?
[Dawn] While a staff mission of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) raised more questions over the financing of a relief package announced by the prime minister last month, Pakistain may not be able to draw the next tranche of the $6 billion Extended Fund Facility (EFF) for over a month.
In a televised address to the nation at the end of February, PM Imran Khan ...aka The Great Khan, who is the lightweight's lightweight... had announced a reduction of Rs10 per litre in petrol/diesel and Rs5 in electricity prices. He further claimed the rates would remain stable until the next federal budget.

Terrible people. Making the poor 'Stainers wait and shop around for small loans like itinerant scavengers. Why don't they just institute an Unconditional Pakistan Fund for the number one exporter of terrorists to everywhere?
[IsraelTimes] The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps threatens "Zionist bases" in Iraq.
Spokesman Ramezan Sharif says, "If Iraqi officials do not take action to remove other bases of the Zionists in that country while our security continues to be threatened from this region, we will respond without hesitation," according to the semi-official Fars news agency.
"It is our natural right to destroy any base from which any attack is carried out against the security of Iran ...The nation is noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence... and this is a redline for us," Sharif says, claiming Israeli drones flew out of Iraq into Iranian airspace.
Earlier this week, around 12 Iranian missiles hit targets in Irbil, the capital of Iraq Kurdistan. Some landed near the US consulate.
Iran claimed it hit Israeli bases in the attack, calling it retaliation for an Israeli strike in Syria that killed two members of its Revolutionary Guard the previous week.
No injuries were reported in the attack but it marked a significant escalation between Iran and the US, and upset Iraq’s leadership.

Shafaq News/ A double missile attack may target the Iraqi capital within a few hours or days. An Intelligence said.
Baghdad Operations Command posted on its official page on telegram that "outlaw elements or terrorist groups intend to target Baghdad International Airport or the Heavily-fortified Green Zone."
The Command recommended intensifying sending patrols, particularly in areas where the attack could be carried out.
The Green Zone is a 10-square-kilometer area in the Karkh district of central Baghdad that was the governmental center of the Coalition Provisional Authority during the occupation of Iraq after the American-led 2003 invasion and remained the center of the international presence in the city.
[MEForum] In a widely shared essay published on Muslim Matters, Islamist commentator Mobeen Vaid has laid out what appears to be the most comprehensive Islamist argument yet for why Muslims should oppose LGBT rights.
Progressivist Muslim groups are also under attack. Vaid reserves particular ire for Muslim Advocates, which he claims has "supported a wide range of LGBT rights," even "praising a Muslim drag queen as 'living her [sic] truth'" [sic inserted by Vaid].
High profile Muslim organizations with Islamist histories are in Vaid's sights. He points out that the annual conference of the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC) featured lesbian TV actress and producer Fawzia Mirza. The fact that these organizations supporting LGBT rights, for the most part, claim to be zakat-eligible, has further angered Islamists.
Vaid's argument has four main points: Muslim political advocacy for LGBT rights is "fundamentally immoral" and "inimical" to Islamic ethics; the political rationales for such activism offered by his ideological opponents are unconvincing; the Muslim community's ambivalence is making it easier for the "LGBT" persons to prey on young Muslims already struggling to negotiate their identity; and not taking a firm stance against issues such as homosexuality will "only deepen" the theological crises within the Muslim community.

Yes! Pine. Yearn for release! Debate and lobby and ululate and scream for the right to dress in skirts and legally get your buttocks plowed by your brothers!
Sodomy and sexual deviance are prevalent in nearly every religion that peddles maximal guilt and penitence over the sex act. It is the machismo obsessed core of islam that makes it hard to infuse their society with such tropes, create disruptions in the family and masculinity archetypes. The scripture just has tooo much hold on the society. But chaos always wins. Sin is stronger than virtue. Ultimately there's black and all that.
But good people are trying. We have a huge ongoing experiment in the west to learn from and yes, the rainbow flags will fly in moslem nations one day.
The globalists and their LGBTQ+er wards will inadvertently play their role too, in liberating all off the pansies and fags and dykes they can reach on social media and empowering them. In time, the 'patriarchy' of islam will come to be challenged, inshallah, and the average moslem will proudly come out as a fag of one kind or another, only to be slain by the takfiris.
[IsraelTimes] The exchange of missile strikes by Iran ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites.... and Israel in Iraq and Syria puts US forces at risk, the top US commander for the Middle East says, just days after an Iranian missile barrage struck near the US consulate complex in northern Iraq.
Marine General Frank McKenzie tells Pentagon news hounds that over the past six months Iran has attacked US forces and facilities a number of times, but "very good action on the part of commanders on the ground" has thwarted any US casualties.
"Had US casualties occurred, I think we might be in a very different place right now," says McKenzie.
Did Iran attack before six months ago? What about when Donald Trump was president? Some perspective would be useful here.
McKenzie and other US officials said this week the missile strikes on Sunday that hit close to the consulate were not aimed at the US. And Iran’s powerful Revolutionary Guard said on its website that it had attacked what it described as an Israeli spy center in Irbil.
US and Israeli officials declined to publicly comment or describe the target. But the attack came several days after Iran said it would retaliate for an Israeli strike near Damascus, Syria, that killed two members of its Revolutionary Guard.
"I think it’s obvious that Israel is going to take steps to defend itself when it’s confronted with with Iranian actions. And of course, Iran is dedicated to the destruction of Israel," McKenzie says. "I do worry about these exchanges between Iran and Israel, because many times our forces are at risk, whether in Iraq or in Syria. So that, in fact, does concern me."
McKenzie, who is retiring after about three years as head of US Central Command, speaks at what is expected to be his final press briefing. He says that as he prepares to turn over the job to incoming Army General Erik Kurilla, his message to his successor is that Iran continues to be his biggest challenge.
"My central problem in my three years of command was Iran," says McKenzie, who also oversaw the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan and commando raids to kill Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems.... leaders. "There were other problems, other huge problems, but the headquarters as a whole... focused on the Iranian problem and everything attendant to that."
But Iran won’t be a problem once they’re freed from American sanctions, right? So your successor won’t need to worry.
The US presence in Iraq has long been a flash point for Tehran, but tensions spiked after a January 2020 US dronezap near the Baghdad airport killed top Iranian general Qassem Soleimani . In retaliation, Iran launched a barrage of missiles at al-Asad airbase, where US troops were stationed. More than 100 service members suffered traumatic brain injuries in the blasts.
More recently, Iranian proxies are believed responsible for an liquidation attempt late last year on Iraq’s Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhimi. And officials have said they believe Iran was behind the October drone attack at the military outpost in southern Syria where American troops are based. No US personnel were killed or injured in the attack.
Last year, US forces in Iraq shifted to a non-combat role, but Iran and its proxies still want all American troops to leave the country. McKenzie says the Iranian leaders believe that they can launch a certain level of attacks against the US without affecting the ongoing negotiations over Tehran’s nuclear program.
Diplomats trying to salvage the 2015 Iran nuclear deal appear to be near the cusp of an agreement that would bring the US back into the accord and bring Iran back into compliance with limits on its nuclear program.
McKenzie says the US has gotten better at countering potential strikes by Iranian drones and other defensive measures, which contributed to the lack of American casualties. But he and others have noted that the Iranian ballistic missile strikes have gotten more precise.
"We don’t want Iran to have a nuclear weapon, and the best way to get to that is probably through a negotiated solution," he says, adding that such a deal won’t likely solve other problems, such as Iranian conventional attacks in the region.
"I don’t think anybody in the United States government is blind to that fact, but... if you can take nuclear weapons off the table, that’s a powerful capability that you don’t have to worry about."
Once that is done, he says, then the US could move on and deal with other problems, including Iran’s increasing ballistic missile and drone threats.
