ICE Crackdown in Minnesota Fuels Fear Among Somali-American Citizens
The Intercept details rising anxiety and fear in Minnesota’s Somali diaspora as a federal ICE crackdown targets their community. The operation, characterized by Somali-American leaders as “racist weaponization” of immigration enforcement, has led even U.S. citizens of Somali descent to carry their passports and question their safety. Community advocates describe the raids as intimidation rather than immigration enforcement, a sentiment intensified by President Trump’s recent rhetoric against Somalis.

Politics: US and Transatlantic Tensions
Trump’s National Security Strategy Alarms Europe, Backs Far-Right
Politico Europe and bostonglobe.com report that President Trump’s new National Security Strategy marks a significant break with decades of transatlantic policy. The document openly criticizes NATO allies, warns of Europe’s “civilizational erasure” due to migration, and urges support for “patriotic” (far-right) parties. European leaders, including EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas, acknowledge some criticisms but stress the enduring U.S.-Europe alliance. The official embrace of European far-right movements and the downplaying of the Russian threat are drawing concern and forcing centrist European leaders to reconsider their strategic postures.

Supreme Court Set to Rule on Trump’s Power Over Independent Agencies
USA Today notes that the Supreme Court will soon hear a landmark case regarding President Trump’s efforts to expand executive control over independent federal agencies—including the Federal Reserve and the Federal Trade Commission. The case could overturn a precedent from 1935 and would have far-reaching implications for the balance of power between the presidency, Congress, and regulatory agencies. Legal analysts expect the conservative-majority court to side with expanding presidential authority, potentially reshaping U.S. governance.

U.S. State Department Exodus Raises Legal and Ethical Concerns
HuffPost highlights a wave of departures from the State Department’s legal office, a development that experts warn could undermine compliance with international law in U.S. foreign policy. The office has played key roles in reviewing the legality of U.S. strikes abroad, including controversial actions in the Caribbean that lawmakers say may constitute war crimes. The loss of experienced legal counsel could increase the risk of the Trump administration overstepping legal boundaries.

Russia’s Recruitment Machine Sustains Military Operations Despite Heavy Losses
Politico Europe offers an in-depth investigation into how Russia continues to replenish its military ranks despite losing up to a million soldiers since 2022. The Kremlin relies on a mix of lavish cash incentives, social benefits, and the recruitment of marginalized groups—including ex-prisoners and indebted men. Regional authorities and freelance recruiters compete for volunteers, turning military service into a route out of poverty or legal trouble for many. Western intelligence services are increasingly concerned that Russia’s ability to sustain its manpower may prolong the Ukraine conflict and enable further military ambitions.
