Israeli Airstrikes Targeting Iran-backed Houthis Rock Yemen’s Capital
CAIRO (AP) — Israeli airstrikes have hit Yemen’s capital, days after the Iranian-backed Houthi rebels fired what the Israeli military described as the first cluster bomb they’ve launched since 2023. The Houthis said Sunday’s strikes hit multiple areas across Sanaa. The Houthi-run health ministry says four people were killed and 67 others wounded in a strike on an oil company. Video on social media showed a fireball erupting there. Israel’s military says it struck the Asar and Hizaz power plants, calling them “a significant electricity supply facility for military activities.” The Houthis have been firing at Israel in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza.

Four Palestinians Shot Dead by Israeli Forces While Seeking Aid Near Gaza City, Witnesses Say
DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — Witnesses say Israeli forces shot dead four Palestinian aid-seekers traveling through a military zone south of Gaza City that is regularly used to reach a food distribution point. Gaza City is now officially in famine after 22 months of war, while Israel’s military moves ahead with a planned offensive to seize the city. That could begin within days. Gaza’s Health Ministry on Sunday reported eight malnutrition-related deaths, including a child. Gaza City and its hundreds of thousands of people are now the focus of both a famine and the looming offensive. But many people are too exhausted or wary to flee.

National Guard Units in Washington Are Now Carrying Firearms in Escalation of Trump Deployment
WASHINGTON (AP) — Some National Guard units patrolling the nation’s capital at the direction of President Donald Trump have started carrying firearms. That’s an escalation of his military deployment that makes good on a directive issued late last week by his defense secretary. A Defense Department official who was not authorized to speak publicly said some units on certain missions would be armed — some with handguns and others with rifles. An Associated Press photographer on Sunday saw members of the South Carolina National Guard outside Union Station with holstered handguns. The development in Trump’s extraordinary effort to override the law enforcement authority of state and local governments comes as he is considering expanding the deployments to other Democratic-led cities.

ICE is Training New Agents and Scaling Up
BRUNSWICK, Ga. (AP) — Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, is key in President Donald Trump’s plan for mass deportations. Deportation officers in the Enforcement and Removal Operations unit handle immigration enforcement. They find and remove non-citizens who can’t stay in the U.S. for various reasons. ICE also manages detention facilities for those suspected of immigration violations. The agency is rapidly hiring, with Congress approving $76.5 billion to speed up deportations. ICE plans to hire 10,000 more deportation officers by the end of the year. New recruits are trained at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center in Georgia.

US Seeks to Deport Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Uganda After He Refused Plea Offer in His Smuggling Case
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — U.S. immigration officials say they intend to deport Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Uganda, after he declined an offer to be deported to Costa Rica in exchange for remaining in jail and pleading guilty to human smuggling charges. Abrego Garcia’s defense attorneys wrote in a Saturday court filing that the Costa Rica offer came on Thursday when it was clear he would likely be released the following day. After Abrego Garcia left jail on Friday, the Department of Homeland Security notified his attorneys that he would be deported to Uganda and should report to immigration authorities on Monday. Separately, prosecutors then gave him until Monday to accept the plea deal. His attorneys declined to say if he’s still considering it.

Israeli Strikes and Gunfire Kill 33 as Gaza City Becomes Focus of Famine and a Military Offensive
KHAN YOUNIS, Gaza Strip (AP) — Hospital officials in Gaza say Israeli strikes and gunfire have killed at least 33 Palestinians sheltering in tents or seeking scarce food aid. Saturday’s attacks occurred as Israel’s military is perhaps days away from a new offensive in Gaza City. This comes after the world’s leading authority on food crises said that famine is now happening in the city. That announcement has sparked new pressure on Israel over its 22-month offensive, which was prompted by Hamas’ October 2023 attack. Israel has denounced the famine declaration as lies. Efforts toward a ceasefire are on hold as mediators await Israel’s next steps.
