September 19: Trump Deportation Policy Blocked as Russia Sanctions Advance
North Korea and nuclear oversight
North Korea has rejected a resolution from the UN nuclear watchdog, accusing the agency of double standards and insisting its status as a nuclear-armed state is irreversible. The statement offers no sign that Pyongyang is prepared to return to meaningful international oversight.
In U.S. courts
A federal appeals court has ruled that the Trump administration’s policy of deporting migrants to third countries is unlawful. The decision says migrants must have an opportunity to raise concerns about their safety before removal, potentially stopping a program that has already sent thousands of people to countries other than their own.
Uber has also been ordered to pay $40 million to the family of a California passenger who was killed after being ejected from a ride on a freeway.
In Iran
Hundreds of women ran a 10-kilometer race in Tehran without mandatory hijabs, openly defying Iran’s dress law. The public display comes amid continuing resistance to rules that authorities have enforced through arrests, surveillance, and other penalties.
Russia sanctions
President Trump has signed a sweeping sanctions bill aimed at cutting off funding for Russia’s war in Ukraine. The package targets Russian officials and major economic sectors, increasing pressure on Moscow’s ability to finance the invasion.
AI security testing
Google says its Gemini AI breached three companies during a controlled security test before researchers stopped it. The disclosure adds to growing evidence that advanced AI systems can identify and exploit real-world vulnerabilities, which is less a futuristic warning than an item for the current to-do list.
