‘She was gardening—then vanished': 47 years in US, ICE arrests 64-year-old Iranian woman in New Orleans
A 64-year-old Iranian woman, who has lived in the US since 1978, was detained by immigration agents outside her New Orleans home on Sunday—just hours after US airstrikes in Iran. Madonna 'Donna' Kashanian was gardening when plainclothes officers in unmarked vehicles handcuffed her and took her to a Mississippi jail before transferring her to the South Louisiana ICE processing center in Basile, Nola reported. Kashanian, who arrived in the US on a student visa and later sought asylum due to her father's ties to the Shah of Iran, was denied asylum but granted a stay of removal. Her family insists she complied with all immigration requirements and has no criminal record. The arrest came amid a nationwide ICE sweep that reportedly netted 11 Iranians over the weekend. Federal officials did not explain the timing, though Kashanian's case has sparked outrage among neighbours and immigrant rights advocates. Her husband and daughter are now scrambling to find legal help. ICE also detained two Iranian LSU students in Baton Rouge this week, part of a broader uptick in enforcement. Government data shows an 807% rise in arrests of people with no criminal records since Donald Trump's second term began in January. ICE currently detains around 59,000 people nationwide. Earlier this week, in a shocking incident caught on video, a 32-year-old US citizen was arrested during an immigration raid in downtown Los Angeles, sparking outrage and raising concerns about racial profiling and ICE overreach. Andrea Velez, a college graduate and lifelong US citizen, was reportedly taken into custody without explanation or proper identification checks. Her family, who witnessed the event, said the arrest resembled a 'kidnapping.' 'My mom looked at the rear mirror and saw how my sister was attacked from the back,' Estrella Rosas told ABC7. 'She was like: 'They're kidnapping your sister.'' Footage shows federal agents surrounding Velez as stunned onlookers gather. Her mother, Margarita Flores, who holds US residency, screamed for help from a nearby car. Eyewitness videos appear to show agents lifting Velez off the ground and carrying her away. Her family said ICE agents did not ask for ID or explain the reason for the arrest. 'She's a US citizen,' Rosas can be heard screaming in the video. 'They're taking her. Help her, someone.' Velez's mother told CBS Los Angeles: 'The only thing wrong with her … was the color of her skin.' Attorneys for the family said it took them over a day to locate Velez, with no information provided by authorities. 'It took us four hours to find her, and we're attorneys. That's crazy,' Dominique Boubion said. The Department of Homeland Security has alleged Velez was arrested for assaulting an ICE officer, but lawyers say no charges have been communicated. This is not the first time such incidents have occurred. A government report found that between 2015 and 2020, ICE erroneously deported at least 70 US citizens, arrested 674, and detained 121.

Donald Trump sues Bruce Springsteen for defamation over explosive onstage comments
The battle between politics and pop culture just took a legal turn. Donald Trump is suing Bruce Springsteen for defamation after the singer made some very harsh comments during his recent concert tour. This started as a fight over words and has turned into a legal battle that has sparked a national debate. The lawsuit brings up questions about free speech, political criticism, and whether comments from celebrities can make things more exciting in court. Bruce Springsteen is accused of making "false, malicious, and damaging statements" about Trump in recent interviews and during his 2025 concert tour, according to the filing, which was filed in federal court in New Jersey. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like She Was Beautiful, Now Its Hard To Look At Her Crowdy Fan Undo The lawsuit is the result of a sour public dispute between the two well-known individuals, whose ideological differences have always been apparent, that has been simmering for months.

In particular, Springsteen's remarks on stage at his June 3rd performance in Philadelphia, where he called Trump 'a conman who tried to hijack democracy and sell it back to us at a profit,' are cited by Trump's legal team. Springsteen reiterated his claims that Trump "represents the very worst of America's past dressed up as its future" in a subsequent interview with Rolling Stone, as per a report by Tempo de Conhecer. The lawsuit claims that these statements were "knowingly false and intended to harm Mr. Trump's reputation and influence," particularly during a period when Trump is actively campaigning for a 2028 reelection. Why is Donald Trump taking legal action now? President Trump's attorneys contend that Springsteen's remarks have done "irreparable damage" to the president's reputation and political prospects because of his global following and devoted fan base. Springsteen views the lawsuit as "another bullying tactic" from a man who can't stand dissent, according to those close to him. Springsteen, a longtime Trump critic, has frequently portrayed Trump as the opposite of the working-class values he extols in his music and has used his platform to express concerns about what he perceives to be a threat to American democracy. However, this legal action seems to have gone too far, even for the vocal singer. The President isn't deterred, though. Trump wrote, "Springsteen has been lying about me for years. Enough is enough. You can't just call someone a criminal without evidence and expect no consequences. This is America not a rock concert.' Is this about reputation or free speech? An unnamed friend of Springsteen told a reporter, "This is not about protecting reputation." 'This is about silencing critics. Bruce has been writing and singing about injustice his entire life. Trump just picked the wrong guy to sue,' as quoted in a report. Public opinion has been sharply split on this case; Springsteen fans see it as another assault on free speech in a nation where criticizing political leaders should be tolerated rather than punished, while supporters see it as a daring protest against liberal elites using their platforms to disparage conservatives. According to legal experts, it will be challenging to prove defamation in the lawsuit against Donald Trump and Bruce Springsteen. Known as "The Boss," Springsteen has a career of singing about the hopes and hardships of regular Americans, frequently with a gritty honesty that goes beyond politics. Conversely, President Trump has emerged as a highly divisive figure whose ideas for America frequently diverge from Springsteen's. The case has brought controversy and attention to both men involved. FAQs What specifically did Bruce Springsteen say about Donald Trump? During a concert, he called Trump "a conman who tried to hijack democracy" and later said in an interview that he "represents the worst of America's past." Does Donald Trump have a strong case? Legal experts say it will be difficult. Public figures must demonstrate "actual malice," and Springsteen's comments may be protected as opinion under the First Amendment.
