Trump administration reviewing records of over 55 million foreigners with US visas for ‘revocation'
The State Department said Thursday that it's reviewing the records of more than 55 million foreigners who hold valid U.S. visas for potential revocation or deportable violations of immigration rules. Should such information be found, the visa will be revoked and, if the visa holder is in the United States, he or she would be subject to deportation.(Unsplash/Representative Image) In a written answer to a question posed by The Associated Press, the department said that all U.S. visa holders are subject to 'continuous vetting' with an eye toward any indication that they could be ineligible for the document. Should such information be found, the visa will be revoked and, if the visa holder is in the United States, he or she would be subject to deportation. The department said it was looking for indicators of ineligibility, including visa overstays, criminal activity, threats to public safety, engaging in any form of terrorist activity, or providing support to a terrorist organization. 'We review all available information as part of our vetting, including law enforcement or immigration records or any other information that comes to light after visa issuance indicating a potential ineligibility,' the department said. Since President Donald Trump took office in January, his administration has thus far focused on deporting migrants illegally in the United States as well as holders of student and visitor exchange visas. The State Department's new language suggests that the re-vetting process, which officials acknowledge is time-consuming, is far more widespread. The administration has steadily imposed more and more restrictions and requirements on visa applicants, including requiring all visa seekers to submit to in-person interviews. But the review of all visa holders appears to be a significant expansion of what had initially been a re-vetting process focused mainly on students who have been involved in pro-Palestinian or anti-Israel activity. Officials say the reviews will include all the visa holders' social media accounts, law enforcement and immigration records in their home countries, along with any actionable violations of U.S. law committed while they were in the United States. 'As part of the Trump Administration's commitment to protect U.S. national security and public safety, since Inauguration Day the State Department has revoked more than twice as many visas, including nearly four times as many student visas, as during the same time period last year,' the department said. Earlier this week, the department said that since Trump returned to the White House, it has revoked more than 6,000 student visas for overstays and violations of local, state and federal law, the vast majority of which were assault, driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs and support for terrorism. It said that about 4,000 of those 6,000 were due to actual infractions of laws and that approximately 200–300 visas were revoked for terrorism-related issues, including providing support for designated terrorist organizations or state sponsors of terrorism.

Priests demand Irish Catholic Church sever ties with Allianz over Israel links
The Catholic Church in Ireland has been called on to immediately sever its long-standing relationship with Allianz insurance because of the multinational's connection with Israel . In a statement on Thursday, the Association of Catholic Priests (ACP) said that last June, a report published on the website of the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights at the UN alleged Allianz helped 'to sustain and pay for Israel's actions in the Palestinian territories'. The UN report, led by the special rapporteur on human rights in the occupied Palestinian territories, Francesca Albanese, found that asset management firms including Pimco , which is owned by German-based financial services company Allianz, was a significant buyer of Israeli treasury bonds. These bonds, the report argued, play a 'critical role in funding the ongoing assault on Gaza '. READ MORE The ACP pointed out that 'for decades, Allianz has been the trusted friend of the Catholic Church – even to the extent of enjoying representation on the Allianz board – with Catholic Church properties in Ireland including places of worship, schools, cars, etc almost all being insured by Allianz as a matter of course.' It said that 'outrage' in the church at events in Gaza would be increased exponentially by 'the revelation of the Irish Catholic Church's connection with Allianz and Allianz's connection with the state of Israel'. 'We ask that the response of the Irish Catholic Church should be immediate and far-reaching in cutting our links with Allianz,' it said. 'Nothing less is acceptable, as Irish Catholics will now be conscious of the Allianz connection – albeit by extension – and of our connection with the plight of the children we see on our television screens.' It noted how 'coincidentally' next Sunday, Catholic Primate Archbishop Eamon Martin, 'together with his fellow bishops', was 'leading a 'Day of Prayer and Reflection for Gaza' in the parishes and dioceses of Ireland'. The Archbishop, it said, had issued a pastoral letter calling for 'renewed commitment by the international community for a just and lasting peace in the Middle East'. It also encouraged Catholic religious congregations and dioceses to exercise high levels of due diligence in scrutinising investment portfolios to determine whether they were helping to sustain the 'appalling human rights abuse being inflicted on the Palestinian people'. The ACP noted, too, a petition by GAA members which had brought attention to the Allianz-GAA relationship and demands that it be ended. The association felt 'a similar demand is likely to emerge when the long and close commercial relationship of Allianz and the Catholic Church in Ireland becomes clear'. Almost 800 football, hurling and camogie players have signed an open letter asking the GAA to end its relationship with Allianz, claiming its financial ties were 'enabling the genocide of the Palestinian people'. The letter was delivered to Tom Ryan, director general of the GAA, at a protest outside Croke Park on Wednesday. Allianz is a sponsor of the GAA Football All-Ireland Senior Championship, the Allianz Leagues, the Camogie Association and Cumann na mBunscol. In a response to the GAA petition, Allianz said: 'Our long-standing partnership with the GAA is about supporting Irish sport and communities. 'Allianz Ireland is part of a global group and, while the wider group operates internationally across insurance and investment, as a matter of principle we do not comment on individual customers or business matters. What we can say is that all Allianz business decisions are guided by strict legal standards and world-leading ESG principles.' A spokesman for Allianz had 'no comment' on the ACP statement.

Mayo property owned by Liam and Noel Gallagher's grandmother put up for sale
A property once owned by Liam and Noel Gallagher's maternal grandmother in Co Mayo has been put up for sale. The recently-renovated two-bedroom cottage is located in Sonnagh, Charlestown, where the brothers' mother, Peggy, and their grandmother, Margret, originally hail from. The Oasis front man and guitarist, who often speak fondly of their Mayo roots, would have spent many childhood summers at the cottage, having journeyed back across the Irish sea from Manchester. Such is their connection to the town, during last weekend's sellout Saturday gig at Croke Park, Liam Gallagher asked the crowd: "Anyone here from Mayo, Charlestown?" When the 80,000 strong audience cheered in reply, Liam said: "There's only about five people there, you can't all be f*****g from there." Liam Gallagher whips up the crowd at Croke Park last weekend. Picture: Chani Anderson He then dedicated the track Roll With It to the town. Later in the same show, he dedicated the track Stand By Me to his mother. Liam and Noel's maternal grandmother, Margeret Sweeney, died in September, 2000, just a few weeks short of her 80th birthday. Her former home is set on six acres of land on which there is a natural spring and the ruins of a former corn mill. The Sonnagh River also runs through the site. The internal accommodation extends to approximately 83.6 sqm/900 sq ft and comprises entrance hall, a large open-plan kitchen/living/dining room, two double bedrooms and two shower rooms. The home, situated just 10km from Knock Airport, is now on the market for €350,000. The sale is being handled by DNG Country Homes & Estates in Ranelagh, Dublin, an affiliate of Hamptons International, and DNG Cyril Burke, in Castlebar. The cottage is located in Sonnagh, Charlestown, Co Mayo. Picture: According to the property listing, the Gallagher family would have spent "many childhood summers in this house, enjoying the freedom of the countryside setting and soaking up the musical traditions of the Charlestown locality". "Having just played two sold out gigs in Dublin, the residents of Charlestown may be expecting a visit from the famous Gallaghers as they are very proud of their Mayo heritage, and many fans are making the pilgrimage to Co Mayo in the hope of having a chance encounter with their idols". Indeed, while many locals in Charlestown had hoped the siblings might have visited the town in the wake of their shows in Croke Park last Saturday and Sunday there have not been any confirmed sightings of the brothers in the area over recent days. Oasis's next gig takes place in Toronto this weekend. You can view the full sale listing for the house here.
