The Islamic conquests in Britain, or the quasi-Islamic occupation of Britain, refer to a series of raids carried out under the banner of religious jihad by pirate warriors from the Muslim Arabs, Turks, and Berbers on towns, villages, and islands in England, Ireland, and Scotland over nearly three centuries, starting from the sixteenth century.cite

The slaves of muslims that is, unless they think a couple pasty dutchmen were running around the unknown to them outbacks of Africa rounding up thousands.
Say, wasn't there a historical movie not too long ago about a Black Girl Magic Queen who spent the show rounding up Africans as slaves?

[UPI] More than half a million undocumented immigrants colonists have left the United States since Donald Trump ...The tack in the backside of the Democratic Party... became president again in January, the Department of Homeland Security announced Monday.
The agency described the 527,000 departures as "record-breaking" in a news release. That comes out to around 2,000 a day.
The agency's release did not list the number of deportations but said "the Trump administration is on pace to shatter historic records and deport nearly 600,000 illegal aliens by the end of President Donald Trump's first year since returning to office."
Through November 2024, there were 311,990 removals.
"When we send an alien back to their country of citizenship or a third country, it's called repatriation," DHS said on its website.
Through November 2024, there were about 677,800 repatriations after 1.4 million each in 2020 and 2021, then 1.1 million in 2023. Trump left office the first time in January 2021.
The departures include those sent back at the border or ports of entry. DHS, Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Patrol are involved in the process.
Of the 2 million who left the country since Trump took office, 1.6 million have voluntarily deported.
"In the face of a historic number of injunctions from activist judges and threats to law enforcement, DHS, ICE and CBP, have not just closed the border, but made historic strides to carry out President Trump's promise of arresting and deporting illegal aliens who have invaded our country," Homeland Security spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement.
"This is just the beginning," she said. "President Trump and Secretary [Kristi] Noem have jump-started an agency that was hamstrung and barred from doing its job for the last four years.
The United States is offering undocumented immigrations $1,000 and a free flight to self-deport now.
She said they "are hearing our message to leave now or face the consequence."
McLaughlin also noted, "migrants colonists are now turning back before they even reach our borders. Migration through Panama's Darien Gap is down 99.99%."
Seventy percent of arrests are charged or convicted of a crime in the United States, the agency added.
The number of encounters at the Southwest border, which stretches from Texas to Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party,, fell 84.5%, from 1.53 million in 2024 to 237,538 in fiscal year 2025, which goes from Oct. 1 to Sept. 30. It was 2.22 million in 2022 and 2.05 million in 2023.
In the United States, ICE is beefing up arrests, including in reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown ...home of Al Capone, the Chicago Black Sox, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel... , Los Angeles, Portland, Ore., and Memphis, Tenn. They have been met with protesters.
National Guard troops have been called to Los Angeles and Memphis but they are being temporarily blocked by the federal courts in Chicago and Portland.
Gregory Bovino, the BPC commander, told WLS-TV nearly 3,000 people have been arrested in Chicago since the immigration crackdown began last month in Operation Midway Blitz.

In the first official explanation of the Sudanese army’s losses in Al-Fashir to the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), Chairman of the Sovereignty Council, Lieutenant General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, stated that the army leadership decided to leave the city due to the “systematic destruction” it had suffered. He emphasized that the forces are capable of achieving victory, turning the tables, and reclaiming lost territory.
Speaking from Wadi Sidna military base, Burhan said: “The army’s assessment in Al-Fashir was to leave the city due to the systematic destruction it endured. The Sudanese people and our armed forces will prevail, and we are determined to avenge our martyrs.” He added: “Our forces are capable of achieving victory, turning the tables, and recovering the territories.”
According to Burhan, the withdrawal from Al-Fashir was not a surrender, but a tactical decision aimed at preserving the army’s strength and reorganizing to launch counterattacks to regain lost areas and deter attacking militias. These statements come amid ongoing military escalation between official forces and the RSF, accompanied by widespread destruction and human losses in contested areas.
Burhan’s speech also reflects a clear intent to boost troop morale and send an internal message that leadership maintains the initiative, while signaling the potential for future military escalation aimed at “avenging” the fallen, as he stated.

[IsraelTimes] Palestinian convicts deported in Gaza truce deal relocated from Marriott’s Renaissance Cairo Mirage to lower-profile resort; terror victim support group laments ‘moral absurdity’
More than 150 Paleostinian Lions of Islam deported from Israel as part of the Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... ceasefire-hostage deal were hustled out of a five-star Cairo hotel hours after their luxury lodgings were revealed, according to a Monday report.
The Lions of Islam were moved to a different hotel after the newspaper’s Saturday exposé that they were staying at the Renaissance Cairo Mirage, owned by the multinational Marriott hotel chain, the UK’s Daily Mail reported.
Under the terms of the ceasefire deal, Israel freed some 2,000 security prisoners, including some 250 serving life sentences for deadly terror attacks. The worst of the offenders were deported.
Of those, 154 were hosted at the Mirage, where many of them were to be found lounging by the pool, bar and buffet, the Mail reported.
However,
Caliphornia hasn't yet slid into the ocean, no matter how hard it's tried... in the wake of the newspaper’s coverage of the situation, they were swiftly moved to another hotel an hour away from the airport and city center. The Mail said it was choosing not to name the alternative luxury hotel, which boasts an outdoor swimming pool, a wellness center equipped with hot tubs, saunas and steam rooms, tennis courts and soccer pitches.
Rates go from about $265 to about $1,858 a night, according to the report. However,
Caliphornia hasn't yet slid into the ocean, no matter how hard it's tried... due to its relatively remote location, few tourists stay there, it said.
The freed prisoners are not permitted to leave for day trips to the center of Cairo, as was the case at the Mirage, and visitors to them are tightly controlled, according to the report.
Moshe Saville, CEO of the OneFamily charity, which supports families of terror victims, said that the Daily Mail’s reporting "reveals to the world the moral absurdity in which murderers are pampered while families are left to face an unending loss every single day."
"We are hearing from many families a deep sense of pain and humiliation, as the very murderers who destroyed their lives enjoy five-star conditions," he said.
Saville said the expectation had been that Israel and the international community "ensure that those who spilled the blood of innocent people are not rewarded, but held fully accountable for their actions."
In its Saturday report, which cited news hounds who were booked into the Renaissance Cairo Mirage, the Mail said the Lions of Islam had been spending time with relatives "who had flown to be with them" and "posing for selfies with adoring local fans."
Former prisoners seen at the hotel, according to the Mail, included Mahmoud Issa, who has been imprisoned since 1993 for his part in the abduction and murder of Border Police officer Nissim Toledano the previous year; Samir Abu Nima, serving life in jail for a 1983 Jerusalem bus bombing that killed six people including an 11-year-old child; and Muhammad Zawahra, who took part in a deadly 2024 shooting near a Jerusalem-area checkpoint.
The outlet said that the Lions of Islam will apply for permanent residency and be monitored by local security forces, and that some of them intend to move on to Qatar ...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates. Home of nutbag holy manYusuf al-Qaradawi... , The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...a NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. It's headquartered in Belgium. That sez it all.... member, but not the most reliable... , or Tunisia.
Under the US-brokered ceasefire agreement, Israel on October 13 released some 250 life-term prisoners from Hamas ..a regional Iranian catspaw,... , Fatah, Paleostinian Islamic Jihad ...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah... and other terror groups after Hamas released the last 20 living hostages kidnapped on October 7, 2023.
Israel also released some 1,700 Gazooks detained amid the war in Gaza who were uninvolved in the Hamas-led October 7 onslaught, when thousands of Lions of Islam invaded Israel to kill some 1,200 people and take 251 hostages, sparking the war.
The Daily Mail calculated the combined cost of all 154 deported former prisoners staying at the Renaissance Cairo Mirage, where rooms start at $200 a night, at upwards of £30,000 ($39,000) per night.
It was unclear who was footing the bill for the ex-prisoners’ stay, the Mail said Saturday, adding that Marriott did not respond to a request for comment.
[PJMedia] The gang rape of a 12-year-old schoolgirl from the indigenous Marma community in Bangladesh's Khagrachhari town led to mass protests that began on the night of September 23. The unrest between indigenous tribes, Bengali Moslem settlers, and the military continued for days in the Chittagong Hill Tracts.
According to reports from the region, the girl was raped while returning home from a private tutoring session. Her parents reportedly found her unconscious in a field that night. Police, with army assistance, arrested one suspect: Shayon Shil. But demonstrations continued as protesters demanded the arrest of two other suspects who are believed to have participated in the crime.
At least three people were reportedly rubbed out by Bangladeshi security forces during the protests and dozens were maimed. Protests led to the traffic being suspended on several roads and additional forces being deployed in Khagrachari. Additionally, the Bangladeshi army was also deployed in the region.
Protesters from the Marma and Mog communities said that the homes of people from indigenous communities of the region were burned.
According to the Christian Daily International, as ethnic unrest intensifies, Christian leaders say fear and uncertainty is spreading among the country’s religious minorities because they feel increasingly vulnerable amid the wider political instability that has led to a breakdown of trust in state protection.
According to a press statement issued by the Jumma Chhatra Janata (JCJ), an indigenous student organization, armed settlers and military forces attacked demonstrators in Guimara Upazila (a subdistrict), resulting in what the group described as the "Guimara massacre."
The statement identified three people killed in the violence whom the police later confirmed were Teiching Marma, 20, Aukhrau Marma, 22, and Athuipru Marma, 21.
The student organization also documented the destruction of several vehicles, houses, and shops which belong to indigenous residents. Local reports indicated that nearly 50 homes and 40 shops were torched during the unrest.
Nila Pada Chakma, coordinator of the Bangladesh Bible Society, told Christian Daily International that five Christians on their way to church were assaulted by the army. "They had to be hospitalized for their injuries," he said. "All Christians were released from the hospital and are back home."
Chakma noted that the attackers showed no regard for either religion or ethnicity. "Their targets were the indigenous people. It did not matter whether they were Buddhist, Hindu or Christian," he added. "Whose house was being burnt and who was being attacked did not matter to them."
The Christian Conference of Asia condemned the deadly festivities and urged the Bangladeshi government to guarantee the safety and protection of ethnic and religious minorities. The organization noted that homes, businesses, and places of worship which belonged to indigenous minority communities were targeted during the attacks.
Transparency International Bangladesh (TIB) also issued a statement expressing strong outrage over the events in Khagrachhari, saying that vested interests had turned a peaceful protest seeking justice for the rape of a 12-year-old girl into widespread violence. The group questioned why the army-controlled administration has failed to prevent the unrest. TIB called for a comprehensive judicial investigation, the exemplary punishment of the perpetrators, and accountability for those who instigated the unrest.
The situation in the hill districts remains tense, with prohibitory orders still in effect and security forces maintaining heavy patrols across the region.
Meanwhile at the 60th session of the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva (held from September 8 to October 8), multiple speakers raised concerns over escalating attacks on ethnic and religious minorities in Bangladesh.
Suhas Chakma, director of the New Delhi—based Rights and Risks Analysis Group, told the Council that it was the Bangladesh Army that indiscriminately opened fire on those protesters demanding justice for the September 23 rape case, killing three indigenous people and injuring dozens more.
At the same session, rights advocates also cited broader data showing that Bangladesh witnessed 637 mob lynching deaths, the targeting of 878 journalists, 2,485 acts of violence against religious minorities, and criminal cases filed against more than 500,000 political opponents last year.
Charlotte Zehrer, a UN—EU Human Rights Officer with Global Human Rights Defense, reported more than 2,400 incidents of violence against minorities within the past year. She noted that indigenous peoples in the Chittagong Hill Tracts (along with Hindu and Christian communities across the country) have been among the primary targets.
On August 5, 2024, Bangladesh’s Prime Minister the loathesome Sheikh Hasina ...Bangla dynastic politician and now exiled former Prime Minister of Bangladesh. She was President of the Bangla Awami League since the Lower Paleolithic. She is the eldest of five children of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the founding father of Bangla. Her party defeated the BNP-led Four-Party Alliance in the 2008 parliamentary elections. She once before held the office, from 1996 to 2001, when she was defeated in a landslide. She and the head of the BNP, Khaleda Zia showed such blind animosity toward each other that they are known as the Battling Begums. That is probably because Khaleda's late husband was the Pak tool who had Mujib assassinated... fled the country following mass uprisings against her government. She held the post since 2009 and won the most recent parliamentary elections in January 2024. An interim government led by economist Muhammad Yunus now governs the country.
The protests and overthrow of PM Hasina are part of a longer-term trend in Bangladeshi politics which represents the weakening of the secular model that marked the nation's founding, as well as a resurgence in radical Islam and the persecution against minorities.
Though the July 2024 protests were largely started by student groups angry about job quota systems, the violence quickly spilled over and targeted religious minorities. Jamaat-e-Islami ...The Islamic Society, founded in 1941 in Lahore by Maulana Sayyid Abul Ala Maududi, aka The Great Apostosizer. The Jamaat opposed the independence of Bangladesh but has operated an independent branch there since 1975. It maintains close ties with international Mohammedan groups such as the Moslem Brotherhood. the Taliban, and al-Qaeda. The Jamaat's objectives are the establishment of a pure Islamic state, governed by Sharia law. It is distinguished by its xenophobia, and its opposition to Westernization, capitalism, socialism, secularism, and liberalist social mores... , the country's main Islamist party, strongly supported the uprising. The terrorist organization al-Qaeda in the Indian Sub-continent (AQIS) described it as a "significant victory for Islamists and jihadists in the region." Homes were burned (including house churches), and some Christians were driven underground. Radical Islamic groups such as Hizbut Tahrir ...an al-Qaeda recruiting organization banned in most countries. It calls for the reestablishment of the Caliphate... have since expanded their influence. They have used the chaos in the country to attack religious minority communities.
The human rights When they're defined by the state or an NGO they don't mean much... organization, Open Doors, reported that as part of the unrest during that period, there was an increase in the number of churches and other Christian institutions that were attacked, mainly by members of local Moslem communities. Reports came in from all over Bangladesh. For example, at least 12 ethnic Bawm Christians were killed in the Chittagong Hill Tracts.
The 2025 U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF)'s Bangladesh factsheet elaborates on the attacks against indigenous groups in Chittagong Hill Tracts:
Indigenous communities in the Chittagong Hill Tracts also continue to report attacks since the July 2024 uprising. In September and October 2024, for example, a spate of attacks between Buddhist-majority indigenous groups and Bengali Moslem settlers resulted in the targeting of religious sites and the killing of at least four people. Buddhist temples were reportedly vandalized and looted, with inaction from security forces. Subsequently, a Buddhist monastic association announced it would not hold an annual month-long religious festival at Buddhist temples, citing fears of insecurity.
Radical Islamic groups, specifically Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen Bangladesh ... The JMB is said to be the youth front of Al Mujahideen, the parent organization that began working toward establishing Bangladesh as an Islamic state in the mid 1990s, which remains obscure and probably defunct today. Other organizations, such as Jama'atul Jihad, JMB, Jagrata Muslim Janata Bangladesh (JMJB), Harkat-ul-Jihad-al-Islami (HUJI), Hizbut Tawhid, Tawhidi Janata, Islami Jubo Shangha, Islami Shangha, Al Falah A'am Unnayan Shanstha and Shahadat-e al Hiqma are believed to be part of the Al Mujahideen network. The JMB at its peak was reported to contain at least 100,000 members, and an alleged 2,000-man suicide brigade, few of whom actually exploded. JMB allegedly received financial assistance from individual donors in Kuwait, UAE, Bahrain, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Libya. Reports have claimed that funding of JMB by international NGOs like Kuwait based Society of the Revival of Islamic Heritage (RIHS) and Doulatul Kuwait, Saudi Arabia based Al Haramaine Islamic Institute and Rabita Al Alam Al Islami, Qatar Charitable Society and UAE-based Al Fuzaira and Khairul Ansar Al Khairia. The top leadership of JMB was captured in 2005 and hung in 2007, which pretty much shot their bolt. (JMB), Jamaat-e-Islami, Hefajat-e-Islam, and Ahle Sunnat, are implicated in attacks against religious minorities. Their influence in national politics is growing, and the Jamaat-e-Islami party (previously banned under anti-terrorism laws during the August unrest) had its ban lifted by Yunus' caretaker government, allowing it to re-enter the political arena.
The ousting of Hasina’s government has ushered in a period of uncertainty in Bangladesh. Islamist groups have exploited the power vacuum, and concerns about governance and minority rights have deepened. The interim government led by Yunus has appointed Islamist lawyers linked to Jamaat to court positions. The government has also ordered the release of Jashimuddin Rahmani, who leads a terrorist group linked to al-Qaeda. What is evident is that the democratic norms are eroding in Bangladesh.
The country is currently going through a so-called "constitutional reform process."
According to the USCIRF:
The extent to which religious minority communities have been involved in the reform process remains unclear. Many religious minority communities have expressed that they have not been included or consulted in the reform process and that minority groups are underrepresented in politics and state agencies. For example, within the whole cabinet under the interim government, only one member is a Hindu and one is a member of the Buddhist community from the Chittagong Hill Tracts. Bangladesh’s indigenous community members, many of whom live in the Chittagong Hill Tracts, have called for constitutional recognition.
Meanwhile,
...back at the pie fight, Bella grabbed the cocoanut cream... Islamist networks tied to global jihadist movements, including al-Qaeda, continue to inspire fear, particularly in rural areas, where Christian converts face severe restrictions. Meanwhile,
...back at the pie fight, Bella grabbed the cocoanut cream... the rise of Rohingya murderous Moslem activity along the Myanmar border, including ARSA’s (the Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army) involvement in violent mostly peaceful crimes, has exacerbated tensions.
Religious minorities, including Christians, Hindus, and Buddhists, remain vulnerable amid these dynamics. Reports of mob violence, forced conversions, and vandalism of places of worship are widespread, often fueled by radical Islamic propaganda.
The 2025 Annual Report of the USCIRF also pointed out to an "increase in attacks against Hindu communities and temples:
Religious freedom conditions in Bangladesh declined amid a series of attacks against religious minority communities," the report said.
In November, police charged a Hindu priest, Chinmoy Krishna Das, with sedition charges for denigrating Bangladesh’s flag while demonstrating for the protection of Hindus... The same month, an estimated 30,000 Hindus gathered demanding government protection from attacks and harassment.
Leaders of religious minority communities continue to say that the government frequently uses laws such as the Digital Security Act (DSA) to target members of religious minority groups, particularly Hindus, for "hurting the religious sentiments" of Moslem populations. In almost all cases, courts take harsher measures against members of religious minorities for posting allegedly derogatory content on Facebook than against the perpetrators of retaliatory violence.
Open Doors stresses that Islamic radical groups and their ideology are now growing in influence in Bangladesh and the army's anti-insurgency campaign in the Chittagong Hill Tracts area is a reminder that Christians are at risk from a variety of persecution, in which communal tensions, the government's "divide-and-rule" tactics and underlying contests for control of land all combine to make Christians vulnerable.
For many Christians in Bangladesh, the violence in Khagrachhari has thus reinforced a sense of fear and abandonment shared across the country’s minority communities. Church leaders say the attacks, coupled with years of unaddressed discrimination and political volatility, have deepened feelings of isolation and uncertainty about the future.
"We are very hopeless with the present situation of the country," Martha Das from the National Christian Fellowship of Bangladesh (NCFB) told Christian Daily International. "Our Christian youth are perplexed; there seems to be no future for them in this country. Everything is uncertain and we will have to wait and see what happens in the February 2026 elections."

[Regnum] A Moscow court has banned advertisements for Muslim-only rentals, finding such criteria to be discriminatory based on religion. However, there are numerous such offers online: Muslim landlords prefer to rent to "their own people." Reasons include a desire to help Muslims rent apartments in Moscow and an unwillingness to see pork, which is forbidden to Muslims, in the kitchen.
Landlords seeking Muslim tenants told Regnum News Agency this. Nobody else's gonna pay the cleaning deposit after the first leave
On October 28, it was announced that Moscow's Savelovsky Court had ruled that advertisements offering residential properties for rent exclusively to Muslims were illegal. The prosecutor's office found evidence of religious discrimination in such criteria for selecting potential tenants. The court agreed with the supervisory authority and banned the distribution of these advertisements in Russia.
"Recognize information distributed via the internet to email addresses (followed by links to Telegram channel announcements deemed illegal – Ed.) as information whose distribution in the Russian Federation is prohibited. This decision is subject to immediate execution," media outlets quoted an excerpt from the documents.
Regnum News Agency journalists checked popular online platforms where landlords post rental ads. We found over a dozen ads where one of the key requirements for prospective tenants was being Muslim. Some ads went even further, specifying that tenants not only had to practice Islam, but also be required to perform namaz and be of Tajik or Uzbek descent.
In a conversation with journalists, landlords explained the reasons for these selection criteria.
"We're renting a room and are looking for a Muslim woman as a tenant. Several Muslim women and girls already live in this apartment, and we're looking for a Muslim tenant—just like we want to be our own people. That's our requirement," Amina, who rents out a room in an apartment building in Moscow's Khoroshevo-Mnevniki district, told Regnum News Agency.
The woman emphasized that she was not prepared to rent the room to a non-Muslim woman, even for double the rent.
"It's not about money. Muslims in Moscow have a harder time renting housing than people of other religions. So, we want to give a Muslim woman the opportunity to rent this room, while a non-Muslim woman can easily find housing," the woman noted.

[Regnum] Officers from the National Security Committee (KNB) of Kazakhstan prevented a terrorist attack in Almaty that five foreign citizens were planning to carry out. This was reported on Tuesday, October 28, by the KNB press service.
"In September 2025, the National Security Committee in Almaty thwarted a terrorist attack planned by five foreign citizens. All of them have been arrested, and an investigation is underway," the agency's website stated.
It is also noted that in September and October, eight citizens of the republic were arrested in criminal cases on suspicion of promoting terrorism. During this time, six individuals were also convicted of terrorist and extremist crimes based on KNB records.
[BBC] Australia has started to deport foreign detainees to Nauru, marking the start of a controversial deal with the tiny Pacific island nation.
In a statement on Tuesday, Australian Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke confirmed that "the first transfer had occurred" last Friday, although how many people were deported is unknown.
The deal was struck after Australia's top court ruled that it could not indefinitely detain about 358 people, the bulk of whom have been convicted of crimes, forcing their release into the community.
Human rights groups have criticised the deal, which is expected to cost A$2.5bn (£1.64bn; $1.23bn).
The Australian government has repeatedly refused to release details of the agreement for the so-called NZYQ cohort, and refugee advocates says it goes against the country's human rights obligations.
Laura John, from the Human Rights Law Centre told SBS News the plans have been "shrouded in secrecy from the outset".
"We do not know if the person who has been exiled has left family behind in Australia, whether they need medical care that is unavailable in Nauru, or even if they still had visa appeal options in Australia."
The NZYQ cohort refers to a group of detainees who were released into the Australian community after a landmark High Court decision in 2023 found that the government's power to hold them indefinitely in immigration detention was unlawful.
Many of them had been convicted of serious crimes including assault, drug smuggling and murder, leading to their Australian visas being cancelled.
The Australian government found itself in a difficult situation - unable to send the former-detainees back to their home countries for fear of persecution or because their government wouldn't accept them - but also facing severe backlash from the public for their release into the community.
Last year, the government, under Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, made changes to Migration Act, bolstering its powers to deport non-citizens, in a move critics described as "brutal".
It included paying third-countries to take Australia's deportees.
Australia turned to Nauru, and under the agreement which was finalised earlier this year, the deportees are given a 30-year visa that allows them to work on the island and mix freely with its 12,500 inhabitants.
The first transfer triggers an upfront payment of A$408m to resettle the group in Nauru.
Aside from these details, little is known about the agreement.
"People are secretly being sent to Nauru, with key aspects of the deal still kept from the Australian public", immigration spokesperson for the Greens party, David Shoebridge, told Australian media.
[WND] A sitting Democrat senator has threatened "legal jeopardy" for members of the U.S. Armed Forces being dispatched by President Donald Trump to fight the drug war for Americans.
The comments come from Mark Kelly, an Arizona Democrat, who was interviewed this weekend about the president's efforts to eliminate the flood of illegal and deadly drugs being smuggled into the United States by cartels intent on making money and allowing Americans to die in the process.
That program has included strikes on boats carrying thousands of pounds of deadly drugs to America. The drugs sometimes have been confiscated, other times destroyed. A number of the smugglers have died in the strikes.
"Is Kelly, a veteran who served as a Navy pilot in the Gulf War and as a NASA astronaut, trying to encourage mutiny within the ranks to get service members to refuse orders for fear of prosecution by a future Democrat administration?" wondered the Gateway Pundit. Send him a set of orders returning him to Active Duty. Then charge the SOB with sedition and court martial him. He can finish out his term at The United States Disciplinary Barracks (USDB), Leavenworth, Kansas.
[IsraelTimes] Israel rejected an initiative being advanced by the countries mediating the Gaza ceasefire that would have seen the creation of a multilateral team tasked with entering Gaza and retrieving the bodies of the remaining deceased hostages still in the Strip, two Arab diplomats tell The Times of Israel.
The initiative would have seen representatives from Israel, the US, Qatar, Turkey and Egypt form a joint search team that would share advanced capabilities and intelligence to locate and retrieve the remaining hostages, the Arab diplomats say.
Israel pushed back vehemently against granting a role for Turkish and Qatari forces in Gaza, and the mediators sufficed with an alternative proposal that would just see an Egyptian search team enter the Strip, the diplomats say.
The Egyptian team entered the Strip earlier this week but has yet to play a role in the retrieval of additional hostages, one of the Arab diplomats says, claiming that Cairo alone doesn’t have the capabilities necessary for the task at hand.
Israel has pushed back on the notion that such an initiative is needed, arguing that Hamas knows where the vast majority — or even all — of the remaining 13 deceased hostages are located and is dragging its feet in retrieving them.

The Egyptian MB appeaser regime is the lesser evil compared to the MB regimes of Qatar and Turkey.
Turkish and Qatari forces would be human shields and tripwires protecting Hamas. Their logistics infrastructure would be used to rebuild and reinforce Hamas.
The Witkoff faction of the Trump 47 administration is nominally dovish but in this instance they proposed laying the foundation of an even broader conflict indirectly involving NATO via Turkey.
[IsraelTimes] Red Cross issues rare condemnation of Hamas for staging recovery of hostage’s remains; terror group states it managed to ‘retrieve’ 2 bodies of hostages, but doesn’t say when it will return them

[IsraelTimes] Representatives of the Druze, Kurdish, Alawite communities attend conference aimed at forging ties between Israel and historically persecuted Middle Eastern groups
Representatives from minority groups across the Middle East gathered in Tel Aviv on Monday for a first-of-its-kind conference to discuss the region’s future, amid a rapidly changing landscape that in the past year alone saw the fall of a brutal 50-year regime in Syria and the weakening of Iran’s influence.
The conference, billed as "The Future of Minorities in the Middle East," was organized by Middle East expert Dr. Edy Cohen, a Lebanese-Israeli Jew, who brought together representatives of the Alawite,
…the former rulers of Syria, so that’s a bit of a shock…
Druze, Kurdish, Assyrian
…sometime after the Bibilical period they became Christians…
and Yazidi communities, all of which have faced persecution across the Middle East.
In the run-up to the conference, Cohen told the Yisrael Today news outlet that the event would "provide an excellent platform to raise the issue of minorities and the deep Israeli connection to it."
It would also serve as a chance to discuss safeguarding the rights of minority communities in the Middle East, and as a "bridge for these minorities to Israel and the Jewish people," he said.
The majority of those in attendance no longer live in the Middle East, having fled due to persecution, Channel 12 reported, but a number of those who had planned to attend still encountered difficulties entering Israel and had to turn back.
According to the report, a group of Druze activists from La Belle France and Kurdish activists from Germany and Poland were denied entry upon arrival at Ben Gurion airport, and had to return home.
Others who were unable to attend included Druze Sheikh Marwan Kiwan, from the Druze-majority city of Sweida, in southern Syria, who instead addressed the conference remotely via video.
In remarks transcribed by Channel 12, Kiwan lamented that "the plague of Islamic terrorism has spread like a cancer" among the villages of southern Syria.
"We demand complete independence and liberation from the terrorist Syrian entity," he said, calling for the interim government in Damascus to be "brought to justice for the crimes they committed, including the kidnapping and murder of civilians."
Sweida was the site of violent mostly peaceful sectarian festivities between Druze and Bedouin factions earlier this year, in which hundreds of non-combatants were killed — most of them Druze — after government forces sent to restore order to the area instead joined the Bedouins in targeting the Druze.
Israel, acting in response to pleas from its own Druze community, launched strikes against Syrian government forces and on the Syrian Defense Ministry headquarters in Damascus to force the withdrawal of Syrian troops from Sweida, and followed up by providing medical aid to the Druze community there.
"We and the Jews, all the peoples of the region, are on the same front," Kiwan told the conference. "We have the same vision and goal, under the leadership of the great and beloved Israel."
Two large flags, one Druze and one Israeli, were displayed behind Kiwan as he spoke.
Others expressed similar sentiments, telling Israeli news outlets that they regretted that the governments of their respective home countries have shunned the Jewish state.
Alan Wali, a Syrian Kurd now living in Germany, told Channel 12 that the Kurdish people "see themselves as a natural partner and key ally of Israel."
"Israel’s enemies are also the Kurds’ enemies. Israel’s security is our security," he said. "Peace with Israel lies in the ancient history of relations between the two peoples."
Representatives of various Arab minority communities within Israel were also present, including Ein Qiniyye council head Wael Mughrabi, who told the Channel 14 news outlet that over the past year, there has been a significant increase in residents of the Druze village who are seeking to obtain Israeli citizenship.
After Israel annexed the Golan Heights in 1981, it offered all residents Israeli citizenship, but only a small minority accepted the offer. But the number has slowly grown, and data obtained from the Population and Immigration Authority in January 2025 showed that today, over 20% of Golan Druze hold Israeli citizenship.
In a post on X on Tuesday, Cohen, the Lebanese-Israeli Jew, shared the conference’s recommended next steps for those wishing to build ties between Israel and the Middle East’s minority groups, including establishing a "regional liaison office comprised of political figures and activists," which would be tasked with "coordinating efforts and monitoring shared developments related to the rights and protection of minorities."
He suggested that a human rights One man's rights are another man's existential threat. organization in Israel be involved in the effort, by preparing periodic reports for the Prime Minister’s Office, the National Security Committee and the Foreign Ministry on the state of minorities in the region.
"The conference affirms its support for the right of the region’s components to free self-determination, in accordance with legal and international frameworks," he said, adding that this must be done in a way that accommodates "the religious, cultural and intellectual specificities of each group, while simultaneously serving as a lever for economic, scientific, and social development."

[IsraelTimes] Tehran, which intercepted Aries in April 2024, charges shipping magnate Eyal Ofer with ‘financing terrorism’ over connection to firm that holds title to vessel operated by Geneva-based MSC
Iran ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate JewsZionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol... has demanded a $170 million fine from what it says is the Israeli owner of a fat merchantman that it seized in Gulf waters last year and accused of having ties to Israel, a judicial official in Tehran said Tuesday.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, the military force that supports terror groups in the Middle East and answers directly to Iran’s supreme leader, intercepted the MSC Aries in April 2024 and detained its 25 international crew members.
At the time, the official IRNA news agency asserted that the Portuguese-flagged vessel was "managed by Zodiac, which belongs to the Zionist capitalist Eyal Ofer." Geneva-based MSC manages and operates the Aries, which it leases on a long-term basis from title-holder Gortal Shipping, an affiliate of Zodiac Maritime, Zodiac said in a statement. Zodiac is partly owned by Israeli businessman Eyal Ofer.
Ofer, 75, was ranked by Forbes earlier this year as the wealthiest Israeli, with a fortune of $28.2 billion. According to the publication, he is active in a variety of industries, including shipping.
On Tuesday, Iranian judiciary spokesperson Asghar Jahangir said charges had been filed and the case was before the courts, though no date had been set for a trial.
"A fine of $170 million has been demanded against its owner, of Israeli origin, accused of financing terrorism," Jahangir said.
The MSC Aries had been last located off Dubai heading toward the Strait of Hormuz when it was seized. The ship had turned off its tracking data, a common practice for Israeli-affiliated ships moving through the region.
The British military’s United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations described the vessel as being "seized by regional authorities" in the Gulf of Oman off the Emirati port city of Fujairah. In footage of the incident, commandos rappelled down onto a stack of containers sitting on the deck of the vessel.
Jahangir said the seized ship, excluding its cargo, was valued at $170 million and claimed that Ofer was an "influential figure" within the Israeli government.
Ships tied to the business magnate have been attacked by Iran in the past: In February 2023, an oil tanker at least partially owned by Ofer was targeted by an Iranian suicide drone, and in August 2021, a different oil tanker operated by his company was hit by Iran, killing two crewmen.
The United States denounced the 2024 seizure of the ship as an act of piracy and called for its crew to be released.
Israel’s foreign minister at the time called on the European Union ...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing... to designate the IRGC as a terrorist organization in response, denouncing Iran as a "criminal regime that supports Hamas ..not a terrorist organization, even though it kidnaps people, holds hostages, and tries to negotiate by executing them,... ’s crimes and is now conducting a pirate operation in violation of international law."
At least some of the ship’s crew were later freed.
Hours after the ship’s seizure, Iran carried out its first-ever direct attack on Israel, launching hundreds of drones and missiles, the vast majority of which were intercepted by Israeli and allied air defenses.
Two weeks earlier, Israel carried out a strike on an Iranian consular building in Damascus, killing seven IRGC members, including two generals.
[IsraelTimes] A year after war’s end, Lebanese army walks political tightrope to disarm terror group, which attacked Israel in 2023 and was hit hard in subsequent conflict
Leb ...The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. Only one of those statements is an exaggeration.... ’s army has blown up so many Hezbollah arms caches that it has run out of explosives, as it races to meet a year-end deadline to disarm the Shiite terror group in the south of the country under a ceasefire agreed with Israel, two sources told Rooters.
The explosives shortage, which has not been previously reported, has not stopped the army quickening the pace of inspection missions to search for hidden weapons in the south, near Israel’s border, the two said, one of whom is a security source and the other a Lebanese official.
It would have been unimaginable for Lebanon’s military to embark on such a task at the zenith of Iran-backed Hezbollah’s power just a few years ago, and many observers were skeptical even after the ceasefire agreement.
But Hezbollah was hit hard by its war with Israel, with thousands of fighters killed, including figures in the upper echelons of both the military and political wings, including leader His Eminence Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah ...The late, lamented satrap of the Medes and the Persians in Leb...> The war started on October 8, 2023, when Hezbollah opened fire with rockets and drones on Israel, in support of fellow Iran-backed terror group Hamas ..the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,... , which had invaded Israel from Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... a day earlier. It continued on a low burn for most of a year before escalating into two months of open fighting in the fall of 2024, including an Israeli ground invasion, and ended with a November 2024 ceasefire.
Israel has kept troops stationed at specific points in Lebanon, and has struck at Hezbollah attempts to rearm. The US has also kept up pressure on Lebanon to disarm Hezbollah. US President Donald Trump ...The tack in the backside of the Democratic Party... ’s deputy Middle East envoy Morgan Ortagus is in Beirut this week to discuss momentum on disarmament with Lebanese officials.
As they wait for US deliveries of explosives charges and other military equipment, Lebanese troops are now sealing off sites they find instead of destroying them, said one of the sources and two other people briefed on the army’s recent activities.
Their searches yielded nine new arms caches in September, the two other briefed officials said. The security source said dozens of tunnels used by Hezbollah had also been sealed and more soldiers were being steadily recruited to deploy to the south.
Rooters spoke to 10 people, including Lebanese officials, security sources, diplomats and a Hezbollah official, all of whom said the army expects to complete its sweep of the south by the year’s end.
DISARMAMENT OUTSIDE COUNTRY’S SOUTH IS MORE COMPLICATED
Progress in the rest of the country looks far less certain.
Despite its advances, the army wants to avoid inflaming tensions and to buy time for Lebanon’s politicians to reach a consensus about the terror group’s arsenal in other parts of the country, a second Lebanese official who is close to Hezbollah and two security sources said.
Under the November 2024 ceasefire, Lebanon agreed that only state security forces should bear arms in the country. That would mean fully disarming Hezbollah.
The terror group has publicly committed to the ceasefire but is not a formal signatory. It insists the disarmament as mentioned in the text only applies to the south of Lebanon.
On September 5, Beirut adopted a more detailed five-phase plan for imposing the state monopoly on arms — starting in the south and gradually moving north and east, the security sources and the second Lebanese official said.
The government has said the plan is contingent on Israel halting its Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... s, which Israel says come in response to Hezbollah violations of the ceasefire.
Hezbollah has not opposed the seizures of unmanned weapons caches in the south and has not fired on Israel since the November truce. However,
facts are stubborn; statistics are more pliable... it has publicly refused to relinquish its weapons elsewhere, hinting conflict was possible if the state moved against the group.
Moving north and east without a political consensus risks confrontation with Hezbollah fighters or street protests by Lebanon’s Shiite community, among whom Hezbollah remains popular, the two security sources and the second Lebanese official said.
The army still fears a standoff with Hezbollah’s constituency could again fracture the army, which split during Lebanon’s 15-year civil war, one Lebanese official told Rooters.
In a speech on Sunday, Hezbollah secretary general Naim Qassem ... the Grand Vizier of the Hezbullies... described the army’s approach as good and balanced but also issued a warning, saying he hoped the army was not considering clashing with the Shiite community.
The media offices of the Lebanese army, cabinet and presidency did not respond to questions from Rooters for this story. The Israeli military did not respond to requests for comment either.
BEIRUT RELYING ON ISRAELI INTEL TO LOCATE HEZBOLLAH ARMS
Lebanon’s army does not possess its own information on where Hezbollah’s stockpiles are located, two security sources told Rooters.
It has relied on intelligence supplied by Israel to "the Mechanism," the sources said, referring to a committee established by the truce deal, chaired by the US and including La Belle France, Israel, Lebanon and UN peacekeepers.
In late May, the army was receiving so many reports from the Mechanism that it could not keep pace with the requests for inspections, the two sources said.
If troops found a depot, they kept any ammunition or new equipment compatible with their own arms and destroyed rockets, launchers and other material, the two sources said.
The US is eager to help: In September, it announced $14 million in demolition charges and other aid to help Lebanese troops "degrade Hezbollah" and approved $192 million aid to the army the day before the US government shutdown.
HEZBOLLAH’S STANCE ON DISARMAMENT HAS APPEARED FLUID OF LATE
In recent months, Hezbollah’s position about the future of its weapons has appeared fluid. In public statements, the terror group warned the state against trying to seize its arsenal — but also said it would be willing to discuss the fate of its arms if Israel commits to a real ceasefire.
In private, some representatives of the group have floated the possibility that progress could be made elsewhere if reconstruction allowed Shiite constituents to return to villages and towns destroyed in the war, the Lebanese official close to the group said. Others have flatly rejected decommissioning its weapons under any circumstances.
The group is still conducting internal discussions on the future of its arsenal and is also playing for time, the Lebanese official close to Hezbollah and a Lebanese political source said.
The security sources say that a lack of information makes it difficult for the army to estimate what exactly Hezbollah has stored, and where, including in the eastern Beqaa — a vast plain where Hezbollah is thought to store the bulk of its long-range missiles and other strategic arms.
Israel provided some reports of weapons in areas north of the Litani but the Lebanese army deemed them too sensitive to act on without a consensus on whether and how to disarm Hezbollah there, one of the security sources and one of the diplomats based in Lebanon said.
Despite providing intelligence on weapons locations, Israel is proving another obstacle in the south, the officials briefed on the cabinet meeting said.
Several Lebanese soldiers have been maimed by Israeli fire while on inspection missions, the two security sources said. Israeli drones have dropped grenades near soldiers and UN peacekeepers in the south, UNIFIL has said.
The army has also warned that Israel’s occupation of five hilltops within Lebanon near the border with Israel could delay a full sweep of the area, the two security sources said.
And when Lebanese troops tried to erect a rudimentary watchtower to monitor the border, Israel objected, the two security sources said. The tower remains unmanned.
The Israel Defense Forces did not respond to questions about the maimed Lebanese troops and the abandoned watchtower.
Washington is eager to see Lebanon expedite disarmament in the rest of the country after meeting the year-end deadline for the south, the congressional aide said. US envoy Tom Barrack has warned of possible Israeli action if that deadline is not met.
"The US sees that Lebanon needs to do more, and faster," Gabriel said.
The United States fully supports Lebanon’s "courageous and historic decision to disarm Hezbollah," a US State Department spokesperson said in response to Rooters questions.
"The region and the world are watching carefully," the spokesperson said.
