Cardi B Reveals Her 'Uncle Got Deported' During Donald Trump Rant
Cardi B's recent complaints about Pres. Donald Trump's attendance at yesterday's (Feb. 9) Super Bowl led the 'Toot It Up' rapper to reveal a member of her family has been deported.
Following the Philadelphia Eagles wiping out the Kansas City Chiefs 40-22, the mother of three took to social media to share her frustration with the security measures that were in place due to Trump's attendance.
'Yo, I was too f**king mad today because, you know, Donald Trump and sh*t,' Cardi said in an IG video. 'He was at the Super Bowl today and they was giving us a hard time. Oh my gosh. The Secret Service was not playing at that motherf**ker. The Secret Service was not playing to get in that motherf**kin' stadium. Oh my god.'
She went on to say that the hassle of getting into the arena and to her section resulted in one of her very expensive shoes being damaged. 'This shoe cost me three bands,' Cardi said. 'All 'cause of Trump. Now I like him lesser. Now I like him lesser because you didn't have to go to no damn Super Bowl. Fucking up my shoe. … Now he's gonna have to, well, he definitely ain't gon' do that, bring my uncle. . . back because my uncle got deported.'
The Bronx, New York native of Dominican and Trinidadian descent did not elaborate further on her uncle's deportation or on her Super Bowl frustrations. See her discuss the incident below.
Since his inauguration, Pres. Trump has implemented deportation policies that have affected thousands of undocumented immigrants, particularly those from Latin countries. Colombian-American actor John Leguizamo recently addressed the mass deportations, calling them 'dehumanizing.'
'My immigrant brothers and sisters I know you're not felons, I know you're not criminals,' he began before calling Trump's policies an 'attack on Latin immigrants,' adding that the order 'dehumanizes the community.'

US to screen social media of foreign students for anti-American content
Foreigners seeking to study in the United States will be required to make public their social media profiles to allow screening for anti-American content under new State Department guidelines released Wednesday. The State Department had temporarily paused issuing visas for foreign students at the end of May while it came up with the new social media guidance and it will now resume taking appointments. "The enhanced social media vetting will ensure we are properly screening every single person attempting to visit our country," a senior State Department official said. US consular officers will conduct a conduct a "comprehensive and thorough vetting of all student and exchange visitor applicants," the official said. To facilitate the screening, student visa applicants will be asked to adjust the privacy settings on all their social media profiles to "public," the official said. In an executive order on his first day as president, Donald Trump called for increased vetting of persons entering the United States to ensure they "do not bear hostile attitudes toward its citizens, culture, government, institutions, or founding principles." Student visas are one of a series of battles waged over higher education by the Trump administration, which has rescinded thousands of visas and sought to ban Harvard University from accepting international students. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has revoked visas in large part of students who led demonstrations critical of Israel's offensive in Gaza, as he uses an obscure law that allows the removal of people deemed to go against US foreign policy interests. In April, the Department of Homeland Security said the social media of foreign student applicants would be examined for "antisemitic activity" that could result in visa denial. The US government has been vetting the social media of persons seeking to immigrate to the United States or obtain a green card for more than a decade. cl/sla

US starts evacuating some diplomats from its embassy in Israel as Iran conflict intensifies
WASHINGTON (AP) — The State Department has begun evacuating nonessential diplomats and their families from the U.S. embassy in Israel as hostilities between Israel and Iran intensify and President Donald Trump warns of the possibility of getting directly involved in the conflict. A government plane evacuated a number of diplomats and family members who had asked to leave the country Wednesday, said two U.S. officials who spoke on condition of anonymity to describe sensitive diplomatic movements. There was no indication of how many diplomats and family members departed on the flight or how many may have left by land routes to Jordan or Egypt. Word of the flight came shortly before U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee announced on X that the embassy was making plans for evacuations by plane and ship for private American citizens. Hours after Huckabee's tweet, however, the State Department's Bureau of Consular Affairs tweeted that 'we have no announcement about assisting private U.S. citizens to depart at this time' from Israel or the Palestinian territories. The State Department didn't explain the discrepancy but said in response to questions that it is considering all options and 'will alert the U.S. citizen community if there is additional information to share regarding departure options.' It added that it is providing information about routes out of Israel to Americans who want to leave 'by their own means' and urged them to go as soon as it's safe to do so. The evacuations, comments from the White House and shifting of American military aircraft and warships into and around the Middle East have heightened the possibility of deepening U.S. involvement in a conflict that threatens to spill into a wider regional war. Trump has issued increasingly pointed warnings about the U.S. joining Israel in striking at Iran's nuclear program, saying Wednesday that he doesn't want to carry out a U.S. strike on the Islamic Republic but suggesting he is ready to act if it's necessary. The State Department also has steadily ramped up its warnings to American citizens in Israel and throughout the region, including in Iraq. Last week, ahead of Israel's first strikes on Iran, the department and the Pentagon put out notices announcing that the U.S. embassy in Baghdad had ordered all nonessential personnel to leave and that the Defense Department had 'authorized the voluntary departure of military dependents from locations across the Middle East. Those warnings have increased as the conflict has intensified, with the embassy in Jerusalem authorizing the departure of nonessential staff and families over the weekend and ordering remaining personnel to shelter in place until further notice. The embassy has been closed since Monday and will remain shut through Friday.

Should America get involved in war between Israel and Iran? Hear what one Massachusetts lawmaker said
CHICOPEE, Mass. (WWLP) – Lawmakers are reacting to the tensions getting higher in the Middle East between Israel and Iran. According to two U.S. officials familiar with the planning, Iran is prepared to strike U.S. bases in the Middle East, but there are no indications that anything is imminent. U.S. bases and assets are at the highest state of alert and readiness and have been for months. Now, after Israeli strikes on Iran began last week, the officials say concerns are even more heightened about possible Iranian or Iranian proxy attacks against Americans. On Tuesday, President Trump urged an 'unconditional surrender' from Iran. President Trump weighs options about Middle East Massachusetts Congressman Jim McGovern told 22News that he does not think America should get involved. He says diplomacy is the way to go. 'An all-out war with Iran is not an easy thing; in fact, there could be a lot of unknown consequences. Some people thought going to war with Iraq was going to be an easy thing, but it turned out to be very, very complicated.' Congressman McGovern said he's working on a bipartisan resolution to remind the Trump administration that if you want to go to war, you have to go to Congress first.
