DHS: US Citizen Detained for Obstructing Arrest of Illegal Immigrant
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) on Saturday defended its detention of a Florida-born citizen who allegedly interfered during a targeted immigration enforcement operation. He was released after being restrained and questioned over his response to the arrest of his brother, an illegal immigrant. Leonardo Garcia Venegas, 25, was detained on May 21 by federal immigration authorities while at his worksite in Foley, Alabama. Video of the arrest shows Venegas at what appears to be a construction site being restrained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents. The footage shows a struggle between Venegas and an agent before a second agent comes in to assist. An individual who was not shown in the footage appeared to defend Garcia and reassured ICE agents that he was a U.S. citizen. NTD reached out to ICE, but the agency declined to offer additional information. ICE instead pointed to the statement offered by DHS. In that statement, DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin said that Venegas prevented ICE agents from doing their job.

In A Glorious Moment, 3 Students of Ajeenkya D Y Patil University Secure Prestigious Internships in Taiwan
VMPL New Delhi [India], May 20: In a remarkable feat of academic excellence and global exposure, three students from the School of Engineering at Ajeenkya D Y Patil University (ADYPU) have secured prestigious international internships at Yuan Ze University, Taiwan. The five-month internship, spanning from February 7 to June 30, 2025, reflects the university's strong commitment to fostering global competencies and innovative learning experiences among its students. The selected students -- Apurva Chatole, Vaibhav Tiwari, and Mayur Dhangar, all final-year CSE (AI) students graduating in 2025, are working on cutting-edge research projects during their time in Taiwan. Each student is also receiving a monthly stipend of 12,000 New Taiwan Dollars (NTD) as part of the program. Apurva Chatole is engaged in the field of Tiny Object Detection using YOLO (You Only Look Once), a deep learning-based object detection system. In addition to advancing her technical skills, she is also learning Chinese, immersing herself fully in the cultural and linguistic environment of Taiwan. Reflecting on her experience, Apurva said: - "The overall experience is overwhelmingly great. Learning about new cultures, meeting people from different countries, and working on international collaborations has given a new perspective to life. I am truly grateful to our Placement Team, our Dean, the SPCR team, and especially to our Hon'ble Vice Chancellor, who personally guided us through the process." Vaibhav Tiwari is working on model-level delay computation of multiple-input and single-input switching using a machine learning approach. He, too, is learning Chinese to strengthen cross-cultural communication during his internship. Speaking about his journey, Vaibhav said: - "This internship has been incredibly enriching, both personally and professionally. Engaging in international collaborations and gaining hands-on experience in a global environment has enhanced my technical and communication skills." Mayur Dhangar, also from the 2025 graduating batch, is pursuing his internship at Yuan Ze University, contributing to advanced research at the intersection of computer science and engineering. His work continues to uphold ADYPU's mission of cultivating next-generation innovators. Commenting on the achievement, Dr. Ajeenkya D Y Patil, President of Ajeenkya D Y Patil University, said: - "This accomplishment is a testament to the world-class talent nurtured at ADYPU and the global outlook we instill in our students. We believe in equipping our learners not just with academic knowledge, but with the mindset, resilience, and global perspective needed for the future. I am immensely proud of Apurva, Vaibhav, and Mayur for representing India and ADYPU on an international platform." Taiwan is also central to the world's technological scene, particularly as a semiconductor powerhouse -- the foundation of contemporary computing and artificial intelligence. With TSMC, the globe's leading contract chip manufacturer, Taiwan provides prospective engineers with more than cultural immersion -- immediate experience in one of the world's most sophisticated innovation environments. The achievement of these students supports the vision of ADYPU, which is based on innovation, international cooperation, and excellence in learning. Ajeenkya D Y Patil University provides a wide range of undergraduate as well as postgraduate courses such as engineering, car design, management, digital modeling, media, architecture, film making, and law. Situated within the D Y Patil Knowledge City in the city of Pune, the university always works towards producing globally competent professionals. The tireless efforts of the Placement Cell, the Dean, and the SPCR team, complemented by the individual mentorship of the Vice Chancellor, have played a crucial role in making these dreams a reality. ADYPU still reiterates its commitment to developing global leaders who are not only intellectually competent but also culture-sensitive and socially aware.

Taiwan's Semiconductor output expected to surge over 19% in 2025: ITRI
New Delhi [India], May 19 (ANI): Taiwan's semiconductor industry is set to witness a strong expansion in 2025, with output value expected to rise by more than 19 per cent, according to the Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI), as reported by Focus Taiwan. The government-supported body attributed the anticipated growth to better performance in th the IC manufacturing and IC design sectors. According to the news report by Focus Taiwan, in its latest IEK Current Quarterly Model report, ITRI projected that the output of Taiwan's semiconductor industry would reach NTD 6.33 trillion (USD210 billion) in 2025. This marks a 19.1 per cent increase from the previous year and surpasses ITRI's earlier forecast in February, which had predicted a 16.2 per cent rise to NTD 6.17 trillion. Breaking down the figures, the IC manufacturing segment is expected to record the highest growth. Its output is likely to grow 23.1 per cent year-on-year to NTD 4.2 trillion in 2025. This is higher than the previous projection of a 19.4 per cent rise. Meanwhile, the IC design segment is forecast to see a 13.9 per cent increase in output value, reaching NTD 1.44 trillion, up from the earlier estimate of an 11.3 per cent rise. Other segments are also expected to see moderate growth. The IC packaging sector is projected to generate NTD 461.5 billion in 2025, up 9 per cent from a year ago. Similarly, the IC testing segment is expected to grow by 6 per cent to NTD 212.2 billion, according to ITRI data. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC), the world's largest contract chipmaker, has projected a 24-26 per cent growth in sales in 2025, driven by increased demand for advanced chip making technologies amid the rise of artificial intelligence. Analysts believe TSMC's strong performance will continue to boost the IC manufacturing and design sectors in Taiwan. In the first quarter of this year, Taiwan's semiconductor industry posted an output value of NTD 1.48 trillion. While this was a 0.4 per cent decline from the previous quarter, however it represented a significant 27.6 per cent jump from the same period last year. ITRI said that many clients placed bulk orders earlier than usual in the first quarter to avoid disruptions from U.S. President Donald Trump's unpredictable tariff policies. This strategy helped boost production during what is typically a slower period. Looking ahead, ITRI expects Taiwan's IC industry to generate NTD 1.53 trillion in output in the second quarter, reflecting a 20.6 per cent increase year-on-year and a 2.9 per cent rise from the first quarter.
