Trump's ICE boost: US President urges 'courageous men and women' to join immigration and customs; promises to 'take GREAT care'
Taking to social media platform Truth Social he said, 'Our Brave ICE Law Enforcement Agents are getting the WORST of the WORST Criminals out of our Country — Terrorists, pedophiles, MS-13 gang members, murderers, rapists, drug and human traffickers. They're getting these SLEAZEBAGS, the SCUM of the Earth that Crooked Joe Biden let in, OUT OF HERE, and getting them out, FAST.'
'We need MORE courageous men and women to, MAKE AMERICA SAFE AGAIN.
Join ICE now. We will take GREAT care of you, just like you take care of us!' the he wrote on Tuesday.
The post comes as the Trump administration plans to move forward with a massive expansion of its immigration enforcement agenda, which, as per CNN, includes a record $75 billion allocation to ICE from the president's sweeping agenda bill,.
The funding aims to bolster detention capacity and ramp up enforcement and removal operations, including hiring more agents across the country.

A Homeland Security official told CNN that ICE 'keeps getting kicked in the teeth' despite increased praise from top Republican leaders.
Trump and homeland security secretary Kristi Noem have both repeatedly praised the agency's work. 'These are strong people — tough people — that love our country,' Trump said at the White House last week.
'If they weren't tough, they wouldn't survive.'
But behind the public praise lies growing pressure and tension inside the agency.
ICE officers have reportedly been working around the clock under intense scrutiny, managing daily calls with the White House and facing sharp backlash from members of the public and immigration advocates alike.
Since Trump issued a mass deportation order in January, immigration and customs enforcement has come under fire from all directions, with some in the administration saying it's not doing enough, others arguing it's gone too far, and angry members of the public taking drastic steps to block its actions.

From stress to serenity: How India's yoga diplomacy can benefit H-1B holders
As someone who has been advocating for knowledge-worker rights since 2004, I've witnessed the H-1B visa issue evolve from online debates to kitchen table discussions and eventually, to the halls of Congress. The uncertainty and anxiety faced by Indian H-1B holders and their families have only intensified with the growing US visa backlog, now a staggering 11.3 million under the Trump administration. The US visa backlog has real-life implications for millions of Indians who have invested in their American dreams. Delays and uncertainty have become a constant source of stress, affecting not just their careers but also their personal lives. As a nation with a significant soft power asset in spiritual diplomacy, India must navigate this complex issue while balancing its strategic autonomy. A Powerful Tool for Cultural Understanding India's spiritual diplomacy, including Yoga diplomacy, can be a potent tool in promoting cultural understanding and cooperation. With International Yoga Day recognised by over 180 countries worldwide, Yoga has become a global phenomenon, promoting Indian heritage and global harmony. Yoga, with its emphasis on mindfulness, breath control, and physical well-being, can help alleviate stress and anxiety, promoting mental health and resilience. By showcasing its rich spiritual heritage and promoting Yoga, India can foster people-to-people connections and build bridges between nations. Creating a Collective Collaborative Ecosystem To harness the benefits of Yoga diplomacy, India can invite Yoga centres across the country to participate in a unified initiative. This ecosystem can be built by partnering with renowned Yoga centres and ashrams to develop and promote Yoga programs tailored to the needs of Indian citizens abroad. Digital platforms like YogaYukt can disseminate Yoga resources, including videos, apps, and online classes, to enhance accessibility and reach a wider audience of over 650,000 volunteers trained through the Yoga Certification Board. Collaborating with research institutions can also help study the benefits of Yoga and meditation for mental health and well-being. Economic Potential The significance of Yoga and Ayurveda extends beyond culture and diplomacy — they also carry major economic potential. As part of the $4 trillion global wellness industry, India has positioned itself as a leading supplier of Ayurvedic products, herbal remedies, and wellness services. Yoga-related tourism, teacher training programs, and international workshops generate revenue and open up employment opportunities. With global trends shifting toward preventive health and natural living, India is increasingly seen as a hub for integrative healthcare — a fusion of tradition and innovation. A Game-Changer for Global Understanding India's collective collaborative effort to promote Yoga diplomacy can be a game-changer in fostering global understanding, cooperation, and peace. By harnessing the power of Yoga and meditation, India can promote its rich spiritual heritage, build bridges between nations, and demonstrate its commitment to the well-being of individuals worldwide. This initiative can not only aid in addressing the challenges faced by Indian citizens abroad but also showcase India's unique cultural identity and promote a positive image of the nation globally. With a 25-million-strong Indian diaspora representing a powerful network of influence across the world, Yoga diplomacy provides a cultural link that strengthens ties between these communities and their homeland. As India continues to navigate complex global issues, its Yoga diplomacy effort can serve as a beacon of hope and cooperation, promoting a more harmonious and peaceful world order.

Trump wants deal to end Russia's war in Ukraine by Aug. 8, US tells UN
The U.S. has urged the UN Security Council to broker a deal ending the Russia-Ukraine war by August 8, with President Trump threatening tariffs on Russia if progress isn't made within ten days. While negotiations have occurred in Istanbul, a breakthrough remains elusive, as Russia accuses the West of using diplomacy to pressure them. Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads U.S. President Donald Trump has made clear that he wants a deal to end Russia's war in Ukraine by August 8, the United States told the United Nations Security Council on Thursday."Both Russia and Ukraine must negotiate a ceasefire and durable peace. It is time to make a deal. President Trump has made clear this must be done by August 8. The United States is prepared to implement additional measures to secure peace," senior U.S. diplomat John Kelley told the 15-member said on Tuesday that the United States would start imposing tariffs and other measures on Russia "10 days from today" if Moscow showed no progress toward ending its war in and Moscow have held three rounds of talks in Istanbul this year that yielded exchanges of prisoners and bodies, but no breakthrough to defuse the more than three-year conflict."We intend to continue the negotiations in Istanbul," Russia's deputy U.N. Ambassador Dmitry Polyanskiy told the council, but he added: "Despite the meetings in Istanbul, in the West, the war party did not go away ... We continue hearing voices of those who think that diplomacy is just a way of criticizing Russia and exerting pressure on it."Ukraine's deputy U.N. Ambassador Khrystyna Hayovyshyn said Russia must be confronted with "unity, resolve and action.""We seek a comprehensive, just and lasting peace grounded in the principles of the U.N. Charter and nothing less. We repeat - a full, immediate and unconditional ceasefire is essential. It is the first step to halting Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine," she told the council.
