🇺🇸⚡- The Supreme Court has permitted President Trump to strip Syrians and Haitians of TPS (Temporary Protected Status) in a 6-3 decision.

The decision was made based on the Congressional precedent of stripping TPS. Justice Samuel Alito also commented on the lower court's injunction having little merit, as its injunction was filed due to the claim that stripping TPS was a form of racial discrimination against Haitians.

The decision will likely give way to the process of stripping Ethiopia, Myanmar, Somalia, South Sudan, Venezuela, and Nepal of their TPS.

🇾🇪🇸🇦🇮🇱⚡- Ansarullah leader Abdul Malik al-Houthi delivered a series of unusually pointed remarks in a speech today.

Al-Houthi accused Saudi Arabia of “aggression” in Yemen, citing the blockade and alleged conspiracies against the Yemeni population—marking his first direct anti-Saudi rhetoric in recent months, despite similar threats from other senior Houthi officials. The remarks come amid Oman-mediated talks between Sana’a and Riyadh, worsening living conditions in areas controlled by the Saudi-backed Presidential Leadership Council, which left dozens of protesters dead, and escalating fighting on the Ad Dali front.

The tone of the speech suggests a potential shift toward renewed confrontation with Saudi Arabia, following al-Houthi’s call for full-scale mobilization last week.

He also warned Somaliland of possible action, stating that pro-Ansarullah forces are closely monitoring developments there. The warning follows recent reports of an Israeli military presence operating in the separatist region.
