USA: Regierung hebt befristeten Schutz für Afghanen auf

Zehntausende Afghanen hatten die USA nach der Taliban-Machtübernahme evakuiert - fast 15.000 von ihnen sollen jetzt ihren Schutzstatus verlieren. Die Lage in dem Land rechtfertige diesen nicht mehr.

Spain adopts a plan to relocate unaccompanied minors from the Canaries.

The Spanish government on Thursday approved a plan to relocate thousands of unaccompanied migrant minors across the country, to relieve crowded reception centres in the Canary Islands.

Authorities on the islands have repeatedly warned of unsustainable pressure on their resources, and have complained about a lack of solidarity from the rest of the country.

"In 1997, only about 3% of people in Britain considered immigration a major issue. By the time of the 2016 Brexit referendum, it was nearly half. “Now it’s one of the top issues across Europe. That’s how politicised it has become – this tinderbox of an issue that doesn’t need to be,” says Kelly."

A senior U.S. immigration official said the Trump administration is looking to overhaul deportation logistics by modeling operations after delivery giants like Amazon and FedEx. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/04/10/world/politics/ice-deportation-amazon-prime/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #immigration #migration #ice #us #republicans #donaldtrump

Es geschehen gar seltsame Dinge beim ersten #ÖRR, denen man kaum noch Zufall unterstellen mag.

Da bekommt eine Redakteurin eine Sendung, die inhaltlich irgendwo bei #NIUS zu verorten ist, spult instant das rechte Opferrollennarativ "Das wird man doch noch sagen dürfen!" ab, jammert über Themen, die man vermeintlich ausgeblendet hat und die 1. Folge ist:

#Migration

Toll. Da ist ja schon lange nicht mehr drüber gesprochen worden.

Kein Wunder, dass man #Hallervordern für einen Satiriker hält.
