🇨🇦 🇺🇸 Watching another video of the mayor of Las Vegas Pleading for the return of Canadians:

"We love Canadians..."

When a former Canadian Coast Guard member is surprised by the 'aggressive' actions of the US Coast Guard toward a sailboat sailing in traditionally common US/Canada shared waters around Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands, you know something really has changed.

"when she asked an officer if “this was something new,” she was told that with the new administration, these kinds of checks will be more common.”

The Ashcroft-Cache Creek Journal · Boaters beware: B.C. couple warn of ‘aggressive’ U.S. Coast Guard stopBy Megan Trudeau

"Trump has already sent thousands of National Guard and active-duty troops to the southern border to ostensibly halt the flow of drugs as well as immigrants. More than 10,000 troops are deploying or have deployed there, according to Northern Command. Under the direction of NORTHCOM, military personnel have deployed under the moniker Joint Task Force-Southern Border since March, bolstering approximately 2,500 service members who were already supporting U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s border security mission.

One-third of the U.S. border is now completely militarized due to the creation of four new national defense areas, or NDAs: sprawling extensions of U.S. military bases patrolled by troops who can detain immigrants until they can be handed over to Border Patrol agents.

“Launching military action in Latin America without congressional authorization would be illegal, reckless, and a betrayal of our democratic process — and Congress must intervene to stop it,” Sara Haghdoosti, the executive director of Win Without War, told The Intercept. “We’ve seen this ‘war on drugs’ playbook before in the region, and it has failed time and again — fueling violence, displacing communities, and doing nothing to address the root causes of drug trafficking.”

Haghdoosti added, “What makes this even more egregious is that the Trump administration is pushing for war while slashing the very public health programs that save lives. People need healthcare, treatment, and support — not military posturing and strikes.”

The Intercept · Border Patrol Wants Advanced AI to Spy on American CitiesBy Sam Biddle

📑 Following the coordinated strategic review conducted by the Political and Security Committee and on the basis of the invitations from Israel and the Palestinian Authority, the #eu Council decided to extend the mandates of the EU Border Assistance Mission at the #Rafah Crossing Point (EUBAM Rafah) and of the EU Police Mission in the Palestinian Territories (EUPOL COPPS) for one year until 30 June 2026.

"Senate Homeland will release its portion of reconciliation text as soon as today with "about half as much money" as what the House proposed in its homeland section, HSGAC Chairman Rand Paul tells me.

"It’ll actually be the conservative version," he said.

The #bill is horrific, but less💰for the DHS, is better than the House's version of the bill."

EU’s ETIAS travel authorisation delayed until 2026.

This year, the new Entry/Exit System (EES) for the EU and Schengen Zone will finally be launched. Coupled with this is the introduction of the ETIAS - the European Travel Information and Authorisation System - as part of the EU’s efforts to improve border security.

The ETIAS travel permit has been delayed yet again, however, until late 2026 with a transitional grace period.
