What did a federal judge in the United States rule regarding the Trump administration’s attempt to end temporary protections for certain immigrants?
Blocked the move to end protections for Haitians and VenezuelansA federal judge on September 5, 2025, ruled against the Trump administration's attempt to terminate Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for over 1 million individuals from Haiti and Venezuela. This protection allows them to live and work legally in the U.S. due to unsafe conditions in their home countries. The judge’s decision prevents the administration from abruptly deporting these vulnerable populations. The ruling was seen as a significant victory for immigrant rights groups who argued that ending TPS would lead to humanitarian crises. The decision underscores ongoing legal challenges to restrictive immigration policies in the U.S.

What did the Israeli military declare in southern Gaza, and what was the international response?
Muwasi as a humanitarian area, but UN not involved in designationOn September 6, 2025, the Israeli military declared Muwasi, a makeshift tent camp in southern Gaza, as a 'humanitarian area' and urged all Palestinians in Gaza City to evacuate there ahead of a major offensive. The military claimed Gaza City is a Hamas stronghold and a combat zone. However, the UN and humanitarian agencies stated they were not consulted in this designation, raising concerns about its legitimacy and safety. Previous 'safe zones' like Muwasi have been bombed by Israeli forces, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry. Aid groups warned that mass evacuation would worsen the famine and displacement crisis in Gaza, where people are already too weak to move.
