In June, Victor Martinez-Hernandez was charged with the murder of Rachel Morin, a mother of five in Maryland. Police in Oklahoma tracked the accused repeat offender down with a sample of his DNA recovered from a Los Angeles home invasion in which a nine-year-old girl and her mother were assaulted. Police say he came to the United States illegally to escape prosecution for at least one other alleged murder in his native El Salvador in December 2022. “That should never have been allowed to happen,” said Sheriff Jeffrey Gahler, referring to the numerous missed red flags the case presented. His office apprehended Hernandez in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Like the member of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua sentenced to life in prison last week for the murder of Laken Riley in Georgia, Hernandez’s case is shining a light on the federal government’s failure to properly vet and keep track of lawless migrants. These gaps have led to broad claims that illegal immigrants have less involvement with the criminal justice system than native-born Americans. A review of the available data, however, shows that the criminal records of millions of migrants – the ones President-elect Donald Trump vows to prioritize for deportation – remain unknown due to illegal crossings, lax enforcement and lax data collection by federal and “sanctuary” jurisdictions. In addition, an analysis of the available statistics by RealClearInvestigations suggests that the crime rate of noncitizens is vastly understated. A separate RCI analysis based on estimates developed by the U.S. Department of Justice’s National Institute of Justice (NIJ) suggests that crime by illegal aliens who entered the United States by July 21, 2024 cost the country some $166.5 billion. These criminals disproportionately entered the U.S. during the Biden administration. The problem begins with incomplete initial vetting by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The criminal histories of migrants from far-flung countries with often shoddy record-keeping are somewhat hard to determine. It is also impractical to hold each person until they have passed a rigorous background check. As a result, ICE routinely releases many illegals into the country on their own recognizance and then discovers afterward that many had criminal records in their home countries. In response to a request from Republican Rep. Tony Gonzales of Texas, ICE reported that it has released 7.5 million such “non-detained” noncitizens into the U.S. during the last four decades or so. ICE reports that these include 662,566 noncitizens with criminal histories – 435,719 individuals with criminal convictions in their home countries and another 226,847 with pending criminal charges. These precise figures, however, do not say whether the crimes of the latter group were committed in the accused’s home country or the U.S. In the July 21 letter to Rep. Gonzales, ICE reported that 13,099 of these non-detained individuals have convictions for homicide, with 1,845 facing criminal homicide charges. Another 9,461 have convictions for sex offenses (not including assault or commercialized sex), and 2,659 face pending charges. The convictions include other crimes such as assault (62,231), robbery (10,031), sexual assault (15,811), weapons offenses (13,423), and dangerous drugs (56,533). These figures are only suggestive of the extent of crime because they only list the most serious crime committed by each individual. A murderer, for example, who also committed a sex offense, is only counted as a murderer. It does not include the fact that millions of migrants are violating the law because of their presence in the United States. It also does not account for the lawbreaking involved in working without proper authorization or the widespread use of stolen Social Security numbers to secure employment. The 662,566 convicted and likely criminals make up about 9% of the 7.5 million released noncitizens. The statistics miss much of the relationship between crime and illegal aliens. Noncitizens in the “national docket data” either surrendered to border agents or were apprehended at the border. Those who avoid surrender likely have reasons to evade authorities, such as a criminal background. But there are others who avoided being caught and won’t be in these numbers. That group includes “gotaways” – individuals observed crossing the U.S. border illegally but not apprehended or turned back. With up to 38% of border agents shifted from monitoring to processing duties and 30% of surveillance cameras not functioning, millions more likely entered the U.S. undetected, potentially including the most dangerous individuals. Customs and Border Protection estimates that some two million such “gotaways” have entered the country since fiscal 2021. The data on migrants who have been processed also understates the problem. Criminals rarely commit just one crime. For example, from 1990 to 2002 , in the 75 most populous U.S. counties, 70% of those convicted of a violent felony had a prior arrest, and 56% had a prior criminal conviction . In 2023 in Washington, D.C., the average homicide suspect had been arrested 11 times before committing a homicide. Data for 30 states shows that 60.1% of criminals released from prison in 2005 had been arrested again within two years, and 73.5% had been arrested within four years. The ICE data set provides a single entry for each individual. Most violent crimes don’t result in an arrest, so looking at arrests or convictions in these other countries will underestimate whether illegal aliens are criminals. Across all U.S. cities in 2022, only 35.2% of violent crimes resulted in an arrest . While 50.6% of murders resulted in an arrest, just 24.1% of rapes produced an arrest, 22.7% of robberies, and 39.9% of aggravated assaults. As the Laken Riley and Rachel Morin murder cases make clear, it is difficult to calculate all the victimization costs of crime to families and society. Using tools developed by the National Institute of Justice (NIJ), RCI did estimate what is likely the bare minimum economic costs of illegal alien crime. It arrived at its estimated cost to victims in dollar terms by assuming that each of the 662,566 “non-detained” noncitizen offenders on ICE’s list committed just once in the U.S. the crime for which they have been previously accused. ICE presented Rep. Gonzales with numbers on 42 different types of crime, but the NIJ only calculated the cost to victims for eight types of crime. Prof. Mark Cohen at Vanderbilt University, who co-authored the original NIJ report, updated the list with 15 of the crime categories reported by ICE: murder, sexual assault, sexual offenses, robbery, assault, arson, burglary, larceny, motor vehicle theft, weapon offenses, drugs, fraud, liquor offenses, gambling, and stolen property. Cohen’s updated numbers provide estimates for the damage from child abuse, drunk driving and vandalism, but ICE did not collect numbers on those crimes. NIJ’s estimated losses from crime victimization include : medical care/ambulances, mental health care, police/fire service costs, social/victim services, property loss/damage, reduced productivity (at work, home, and school), and nonmonetary losses (fear, pain, suffering, and lost quality of life). Murders account for almost $153.8 billion of the $166.5 billion in estimated criminal victimization costs (a breakdown of the costs of crime for each type of crime is available here ). Another $6 billion involves sexual assaults/offenses, and an additional $5.2 billion comes from sexual assaults and sexual offenses. Half of the crimes these non-detained individuals commit don’t have cost estimates. These crimes include kidnapping, embezzlement, extortion, smuggling, traffic offenses and weapon offenses. These criminal illegal aliens entered the United States under multiple administrations, but the size of the problem was likely larger under the Biden administration. That is not just because so many more illegal aliens were entering the country. Under the Trump administration’s Remain In Mexico policy, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) performed background checks on immigrants. That included contacting immigrants’ countries of origin. ICE agents cannot access the same databases to check on the immigrants, and they don’t contact the immigrant’s home country. Plus, the massive inflow of immigrants has overwhelmed the system. The deputy director for ICE blames the “ enormous workload ” agents face, so they haven’t been able to do even the limited background checks they are doing. There are so many coming in that the government cannot house these immigrants until their backgrounds are properly checked. ICE has been processing criminals as they enter the country, but without identifying them as criminals. So, under the Biden administration, they have simply been released into the country. Now, they are walking freely in the United States, and no one knows where they are. As bad as these numbers are, the reality may be even worse. The Biden-Harris administration is accused of presenting the border crisis so that it does not look as bad as it is. In mid-September, retired San Diego Border Patrol Chief Aaron Heitk testified how the Biden administration ordered him not to publicize the arrests of illegal border crossers who they identified as having terrorist ties. The American Immigration Council, which strongly opposes President-elect Donald Trump’s deportation policies, estimates that it could cost $88 billion to deport one million illegal immigrants. But if we accept its estimate and ignore the various government benefits that these individuals might be receiving, ICE’s number of 662,556 illegal criminal immigrants implies a cost of $58.3 billion to remove them — just over one-third of the conservative estimate given here of the cost of the crimes by these criminals. The estimate of over $160 billion in costs from criminal illegal aliens is very likely an underestimate of the true costs. It assumes the average criminal coming into the country commits only one offense similar to what he committed in his home country. We are also not counting the costs of half of criminal illegal aliens. This article was originally published by RealClearInvestigations and made available via RealClearWire. John R.

Scanlan: Time for legislators to protect women

NEW YORK (AP) — In an angry outburst in a New York courtroom, Rudy Giuliani accused a judge Tuesday of making wrong assumptions about him as he tries to comply with an order requiring him to turn over most of his assets to two election poll workers who won a libel case against him. U.S. District Judge Lewis J. Liman responded by saying he’s not going to let the former New York City mayor and onetime presidential candidate blurt things out anymore in court unless he’s a sworn witness. The interruption to an otherwise routine pretrial hearing in Manhattan came as the judge questioned Giuliani's lawyer about why Giuliani has not yet provided the title to a car he has relinquished in his effort to satisfy a $148 million defamation judgment won by two former Georgia election workers. “Your client was the U.S. attorney for this district,” the judge said, referring to Giuliani's years in the 1980s as the head of the federal prosecutor's office in the Southern District of New York, as he suggested it was hard to believe that Giuliani was incapable of getting a duplicate title to the car. Giuliani learned forward and began speaking into a microphone, telling the judge he had applied for a duplicate copy of the car's title but that it had not yet arrived. “The implication I’ve been not diligent about it is totally incorrect,” Giuliani said in a scolding tone. “The implication you make is against me and every implication against me is wrong.” Giuliani went on: "I’m not impoverished. Everything I have is tied up. I don’t have a car. I don’t have a credit card. I don’t have cash. I can’t get to bank accounts that truly would be mine because they have put ... stop orders on, for example, my Social Security account, which they have no right to do.” Liman responded by warning defense lawyers that the next time Giuliani interrupts a hearing, “he's not going to be permitted to speak and the court will take action.” The judge said Giuliani could either choose to represent himself or let lawyers do so, but “you can't have hybrid representation.” If Giuliani wants to speak in court again, he can be put on the witness stand and be sworn as a witness, Liman added. The exchange came at a hearing in which the judge refused to delay a Jan. 16 trial over the disposition of Giuliani’s Florida residence and World Series rings. Those are two sets of assets that Giuliani is trying to shield from confiscation as part of Liman's order to turn over many prized possessions to the poll workers. Earlier in the proceeding, defense attorney Joseph M. Cammarata asked Liman to delay the trial, which will be heard without a jury, for a month because of Giuliani's “involvement" in inauguration planning for President-elect Donald Trump. “My client regularly consults and deals directly with President-elect Trump on issues that are taking place as the incoming administration is afoot as well as (the) inauguration," Cammarata said. "My client wants to exercise his political right to be there.” The judge turned down the request, saying Giuliani's “social calendar” was not a reason to postpone the trial. Giuliani, who once served as Trump's personal attorney, was found liable last year for defaming two Georgia poll workers by falsely accusing them of tampering with ballots during the 2020 presidential election. The women said they faced death threats after Giuliani falsely claimed they sneaked in ballots in suitcases, counted ballots multiple times and tampered with voting machines.

As the year draws to a close and the new year approaches, more and more people are traveling to reunite with their families or to embark on holiday getaways. With the increase in passenger numbers during this peak travel season, ensuring the safety and smooth operation of the railway system becomes a top priority. In response to this demand, the National Railway Administration has launched a special campaign focusing on the identification and rectification of safety risks.Despite the overwhelming positive response to the update, some players have raised eyebrows at the fact that the game is still not available on Xbox. In a world where gaming consoles have become increasingly popular, especially among hardcore gamers, the absence of Black Heavens on Xbox has left some fans scratching their heads.BUCHAREST (Reuters) - Robert F. Kennedy Jr., President-elect Donald Trump's choice to head the U.S. health department, will be in Romania next week to meet Calin Georgescu, the surprise far-right winner in the first round of a presidential election, a Romanian television station said. Georgescu finished first in last Sunday's vote, and secured a place in a run-off scheduled for Dec. 8, in a win that could upend politics in Romania and undermine its pro-Western stance. However, the election result has been challenged at Romania's top court, which ordered a recount of all the votes cast last Sunday. The court will decide on Monday whether to annul the first round. Romania also holds a parliamentary election on Sunday. Kennedy will be in Bucharest next week to launch his book on the coronavirus pandemic, with a preface written by Georgescu, private television station Realitatea said in a statement. Kennedy is an environmentalist who has spread misinformation about vaccines. "Realitatea is a media partner of the year-end meeting between the future Health Secretary in Donald Trump's government and the surprise winner of the presidential vote," Realitatea said in a statement. It added the televised discussion will take place on Dec. 5. A spokesperson for Kennedy, and representatives of Republican Trump's transition team, did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Georgescu told Realitatea earlier this week that Kennedy might come to Bucharest. On Saturday, his communications team neither denied nor confirmed the meeting.

Germany has pledged to tighten its law to make it easier to prosecute people-smugglers enabling small-boat crossings to Britain, as the two countries signed a new deal aimed at tackling immigration crime. Berlin confirmed plans to reform its legal framework make it a clear criminal offence to “facilitate the smuggling of migrants to the UK” as part of the agreement, the Home Office said. The Home Office said the move would give German prosecutors more tools to tackle the supply and storage of dangerous small boats. Both countries will also commit to exchange information that may help to remove migrant-smuggling content from social media platforms and tackle end-to-end routes of criminal smuggling networks as part of the deal. It comes ahead of the UK and Germany hosting the so-called Calais Group in London, which sees ministers and police from the two countries, alongside France, Belgium and the Netherlands, gather to discuss migration in Europe. Delegates are expected to agree a detailed plan to tackle people-smuggling gangs in 2025 at the meeting on Tuesday. Home Secretary Yvette Cooper said: “For too long organised criminal gangs have been exploiting vulnerable people, undermining border security in the UK and across Europe while putting thousands of lives at risk. “We are clear that this cannot go on. “Germany is already a key partner in our efforts to crack down on migrant smuggling, but there is always more we can do together. “Our new joint action plan with deliver a strengthened partnership with Germany, boosting our respective border security as we work to fix the foundations, and ultimately saving lives.” Nancy Faeser, German federal minister of the interior said: “We are now stepping up our joint action to fight the brutal activities of international smugglers. “This is at the core of our joint action plan that we have agreed in London. “I am very grateful to my British counterpart Yvette Cooper that we were able to reach this important agreement. “It will help us end the inhumane activities of criminal migrant smuggling organisations. “By cramming people into inflatable boats under threats of violence and sending them across the Channel, these organisations put human lives at risk. “Many of these crimes are planned in Germany. “Together, we are now countering this unscrupulous business with even more resolve. “This includes maintaining a high investigative pressure, exchanging information between our security authorities as best as possible, and persistently investigating financial flows to identify the criminals operating behind the scenes.”DETROIT – Two towers at Detroit's iconic Renaissance Center would be razed and the complex converted to a mix of housing and offices under an ambitious $1.6 billion plan announced Monday. The complex, which next year will lose the headquarters of owner General Motors Co., is the symbol of Detroit, with aerial views often shown on television sports broadcasts. Recommended Videos GM decided last spring to leave what's locally known as the “RenCen” for a more modern building being constructed downtown. GM said in April it would join forces with the Bedrock real estate development firm and Wayne County to turn the partially vacant property into a roughly 27-acre entertainment complex across the Detroit River from Windsor, Ontario. Under the plans, Bedrock would invest at least $1 billion in the property, with roughly $250 million more coming from GM and another $250 million in yet-to-be-allocated public money, possibly from the state of Michigan. The plan, called conceptual by Bedrock, would preserve most of the skyline and reduce the center's office footprint. Demolishing the two 39-story towers would free land for the waterfront project that would complement a walkway along the river, Bedrock said in a press release. A pedestrian promenade would link the heart of downtown to the riverfront, Bedrock said. The 73-story main tower would remain, with high-end housing on the upper floors, according to Crain's Detroit Business, which first reported the plans. GM CEO Mary Barra said last April that the move to a brand new state-of-the-art office building in the heart of the city will help GM recruit talent in the future. The new site, being built by Bedrock, is about a mile (1.6 kilometers) north of the Renaissance Center. The move also keeps GM’s headquarters in the city for the foreseeable future, she said.

The companies have had a hand in iconic marketing campaigns like “Got Milk” for the California Milk Processor Board, “Priceless” for Mastercard, “Because I’m Worth It” for L’Oreal and “Think Different” for Apple. The combined company will be worth more than $30 billion. Shares of Interpublic jumped more than 15% before the opening bell Monday, while Omnicom’s stock fell more than 2%. How should the opioid settlements be spent? Those hit hardest often don’t have a say People with substance use disorder are not getting a direct say on how most opioid settlement money is used. Some advocates say keeping them out of the process is a major reason money is going to law enforcement efforts instead of other programs more likely to prevent overdose deaths. Companies have agreed to pay more about $50 billion over time to resolve lawsuits filed by governments. Most of the money is required to be used to fight the crisis. Figuring out exactly to do with it is up to state and local governments that have used a variety of structures to make those decisions. The Onion's bid to buy Infowars goes before judge as Alex Jones tries stopping sale The Onion's bid to buy conspiracy theorist Alex Jones' Infowars is scheduled to return to a Texas courtroom. A federal judge in Houston is set to hold a hearing Monday on whether a bankruptcy auction was run properly as Jones alleges collusion and fraud. The Onion satirical news outlet was named the winning bidder last month over a company affiliated with Jones. The auction was held to help pay nearly $1.5 billion in defamation judgments that Jones was ordered to pay families of victims of the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting. The families won lawsuits against Jones for calling the shooting a hoax. It's his job to keep American's planes running on time FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — It's the job of American Airlines' chief operating officer to make sure the carrier's flights take off on time and fly safely during one of the busiest travel periods of the year. David Seymour oversees flight and airport operations for American, which expects to make about 6,500 flights a day between now and New Year’s Day. A West Point graduate and former U.S. Army infantry officer, Seymour has held a variety of operations-related jobs and was promoted to his current post in 2020. He spoke with The Associated Press recently about managing huge passenger numbers during the holidays and preventing people from getting on a plane before their boarding group is called. Stock market today: Nvidia drags Wall Street from its records as oil and gold rise NEW YORK (AP) — A slide for market superstar Nvidia helped pull U.S. stock indexes down from their records. The S&P 500 fell 0.6% Monday, coming off its 57th all-time high of the year so far. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.5%, and the Nasdaq composite dropped 0.6% from its own record. Nvidia was the market's heaviest weight after China said it's probing the chip giant for potential antitrust violations. Stocks in Hong Kong jumped after top Chinese leaders agreed on a “moderately loose” monetary policy. Prices for oil and gold rose following the ouster of Syrian leader Bashar Assad. Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour ends by shattering own record, grossing an estimated $2.2B, Pollstar says NEW YORK (AP) — Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour brought in approximately $2.2 billion in its nearly two-year run, making it the highest-grossing tour of all time for a second year in a row. That's according to Pollstar estimates from data collected across 149 shows and provided to The Associated Press on Monday. Last year, Swift’s landmark Eras Tour became the first to cross the billion-dollar mark. In North America, Swift’s tour earned an estimated $1.04 billion. Globally, that number jumps to an estimated $2.2 billion. Pollstar data is pulled from box office reports, venue capacity estimates, historical Pollstar venue ticket sales data, and other undefined research, collected from November 2022 to December 2024. Cyprus and the US double down on a joint effort to combat financial crimes with more training NICOSIA, Cyprus (AP) — Cyprus and the U.S. say they’re doubling down on a joint effort to crack down on illicit finance with additional training of Cypriot law enforcement authorities to identify, investigate and prosecute financial crimes. According to a joint statement issued Monday, an “ambitious” plan for next year will involve 21 weeks of training for different Cypriot law enforcement agencies on financial investigative and forensic accounting techniques, as well as the use of technology in investigations. The plan adds to a U.S. initiative launched 20 months ago following a pledge by Cypriot President Nikos Christodoulides to clean up the island nation’s sullied reputation as a money laundering and sanctions evasion hub. Mexican soldiers will get a pay raise after elimination of oversight agencies, president says MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexico's president says much of the money gained by eliminating independent oversight and regulatory agencies will go to the army to fund a rise in soldiers’ pay. The announcement by President Claudia Sheinbaum on Monday is the latest in a a series of strange funding sources to pay for the country's increasingly influential military. Mexico's Congress last week approved charging every cruise ship passenger a $42 immigration fee with much of that money also going to the armed forces. The military has been given powers to build and run everything from railways, airports and airlines in Mexico. And some of those projects appear to be losing money. Nvidia's stock dips after China opens probe of the AI chip company for violating anti-monopoly laws Shares of Nvidia have slipped after China said it is investigating the high-flying U.S. microchip company over suspected violations of Chinese anti-monopoly laws. In a brief press release with few details, Chinese regulators appear to be looking into Nvidia’s $6.9 billion 2019 acquisition of network and data transmission company Mellanox. Nvidia shares dipped 2.7% in early trading Monday, falling below $139 each. Considered a bellwether for artificial intelligence demand, Nvidia has led the AI sector to become one of the stock market’s biggest companies, as tech giants spend heavily on the company’s chips and data centers needed to train and operate their AI systems. TikTok asks federal appeals court to bar enforcement of potential ban until Supreme Court review TikTok on Monday asked a federal appeals court to bar the Biden administration from enforcing a law that could lead to a ban on the popular platform until the Supreme Court reviews the case. The legal filing was made after a panel of judges on the same court sided with the government last week and ruled that the law, which requires TikTok to divest from its China-based parent company or face a ban as soon as next month, was constitutional. If the law is not overturned, both TikTok and its parent company ByteDance have said the popular app will shut down by mid-January.EL SEGUNDO, Calif. (AP) — J.K. Dobbins will miss at least the next four games after the Los Angeles Chargers placed the running back on injured reserve Saturday. The team also placed safety Alohi Gilman on injured reserve and signed safety Tony Jefferson to the active roster. Dobbins sprained the MCL in his left knee late in the first half of the Chargers’ 30-23 loss to the Baltimore Ravens on Monday. Dobbins is fourth in the AFC in rushing with 766 yards and averages 4.8 yards per carry, third highest among AFC running backs with at least 100 carries. He has been considered among the candidates for AP Comeback Player of the Year after suffering a torn Achilles tendon in last season’s opener. Gus Edwards will be counted on to be the lead back in Dobbins' absence. Edwards missed four games during the middle of the season because of an ankle injury and has 25 carries for 93 yards in three games since returning to the lineup. Story continues below video The Chargers are 7-4 and hold the sixth seed in the AFC going into Sunday's game at NFC South leader Atlanta (6-5). Los Angeles is at Kansas City (10-1) in a prime-time game on Dec. 8, hosts Tampa Bay (5-6) on Dec. 15 and Denver (7-5) on Dec. 19. Gilman suffered a hamstring injury in the loss to the Ravens. He has 47 tackles, which is fifth on the team, along with one sack. Los Angeles also elevated cornerback Dicaprio Bootle and linebacker Jeremiah Jean-Baptiste from the practice squad for Sunday’s game. AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nfl

Stock market today: Nvidia drags Wall Street lower as oil and gold riseWhen former Bangladesh prime minister Sheikh Hasina fled to India on 5 August in a military helicopter, 50 lakh young women and men, leaders and cadre of the students’ wing of her party Awami League, became outsiders in their own land. Such was the public ire against Hasina’s party and its students’ wing Chhatra League that some like Ishak Ali Khan Panna, the former general secretary of the League, died while trying to escape, while others like Shamim Ahmed, a former organising secretary of League’s Jahangirnagar University unit, was beaten to death . As recently as 11 November, two separate courts sent 55 Chhatra League leaders and activists to jail. “But the worst injustice was done to us when the Yunus regime branded us a terrorist organisation and banned us,” Saddam Hussain, president of Chhatra League, told ThePrint in a video interview from an undisclosed location. “There are more than 50 lakh leaders and workers associated with Chhatra League. From being youth icons for 15 long years as League’s cadre, we have been branded terrorists overnight,” Hussain said. Branding the Chhatra League a “terrorist organisation”, a government notification on 25 October said, “there was sufficient evidence indicating the student body continued to engage in conspiratorial, destructive, and provocative activities against the State even after the fall of the Awami League government”. Hussain said it is not just those who are directly associated with the Chhatra League but even its supporters are being targeted by the Yunus administration. “Supporting Awami League or Chhatra League is a democratic right as a citizen of Bangladesh as opposing them is.” Saddam claims more than 500 medical students who supported the Awami League or the Chhatra League have had their certificates cancelled after 5 August. Many had their internships cancelled, others were not allowed to sit for their exams. “Students who support us in any form have been prosecuted, unlawfully imprisoned, and the university authorities and the interim government are taking no responsibility to ensure their safety and security,” Saddam alleged. Political journalist Shahidul Hasan Khokon told ThePrint such a “manhunt” against a students’ organisation has never happened before in Bangladesh’s tumultuous political history. “The country has seen a bloody freedom struggle, political assassination of its founding father, military takeover, not so free and fair elections, but never before has a student organisation been targeted this way,” he said. Khokon said it’s ironic that the Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami and its students’ wing, the Chhatra Shibir, are roaming free and yielding power in Yunus’ Bangladesh while the League has become a banned outfit. “Hasina had banned the Jamaat, which was against the very birth of Bangladesh, and had sided with the West Pakistan army to torture and kill the East Pakistani population that had risen in revolt. They openly advocate for Sharia law and today, in Bangladesh, they have become all powerful. This is a travesty of democracy,” said Khokon. Hussain claims Bangladesh is slowly realising that the student movement against quota in government jobs that eventually became a mass movement to oust Hasina was infiltrated by the Jamaat and its students’ wing. “Tell me, have you heard students killing policemen, stripping them and hanging their bodies from bridges in any student-led movement? And that too in such large numbers! The quota protest movement was highjacked from the very beginning. Gradually the country is realising that,” he said. An organising secretary of the Chhatra League, on condition of anonymity told ThePrint over phone he has gone in hiding and that his father was beaten up in the streets by Shibir members. “They threatened him with dire consequences if he did not disclose my hiding place. My younger sister has not been able to go to college ever since Hasina left. And she is not even part of the League. Is this the country a students’ revolution brought about?” Khan said. According to Khan, student groups have been clashing with each other with unfailing regularity since October. On 25 November, students from over a dozen colleges attacked Government Shaheed Suhrawardy College in Old Dhaka. At least 30 were injured as two groups of students hurled bricks at each other, the Daily Star reported. On 26 August, at least 50 people were injured in Dhaka when students clashed with hundreds of paramilitary personnel during a protest for job regularisation. “Yunus’ interim government supported by the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement had promised a new beginning for Bangladesh. Instead, we have anarchy on the streets,” said Hussain. Chhatra League, which was previously known as the East Pakistan Student League, was founded by Sheikh Hasina’s father, Mujibur Rahman, on 4 January 1948 in Dhaka University’s Fazlul Huq Muslim Hall. Khaleque Nawaz Khan was the founder general secretary and Naeemuddin Ahmed was the first convener. While the League played an important role in the Bengali Language Movement of 1952 as well as the 1971 War of Independence, it has faced a fair share of controversies during Hasina’s time in office. Abrar Fahad, a 22-year-old student was allegedly beaten to death in October 2019 by members of the League in Dhaka after he criticised the government in a Facebook post. This incident snowballed into a huge controversy in Bangladesh. “Not just violence against its detractors, League leaders have been involved in sex rackets, extortion and rape allegations,” a Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology student told ThePrint. “Plus, it is somewhat ironical to see them express solidarity with Hindus in Bangladesh today. During Hasina’s time as the prime minister, many League leaders had harassed students inside campuses for belonging to the minority community,” Pal said. Hussain said a student organisation this big is bound to be mired in some controversies, as unfortunate as they are. “Before 2008, universities would be closed for months due to violent clashes between student organizations. In the past 15 years, educational institutions were never shut for such reasons. The Awami League government and the Chhatra League ensured normalcy in educational institutions,” Hussain said. According to Nadeem Khan, the only thing that matters to the lakhs of League members is to get Sheikh Hasina back in the country as the prime minister. “The Sheikh Hasina-led government has consecutively won national elections, and stayed in power by the vote of people. Opposition parties participated in the national polls when Hasina was in power. Yunus’ is an unelected government and does not have the mandate of the people. How can it continue to remain in power?” Khan said. Hussain said leaders of the League in hiding are planning to organise mass protests in the country to bring Hasina back. “The moment we come out of hiding, we are being arrested or killed. But the wheels have started to turn. Yunus has emboldened radical elements within Bangladesh who are taking it back to its East Pakistan days when minorities were targeted and an Islamist idea of the country was enforced. Common people are fed up in four months with the Yunus government that is even denying us our independence history of 1971,” he said. According to Hussain, the Bangladesh civil society is not taking kindly to the Yunus administration cosying up to Pakistan, a country Bangladesh had snatched its freedom from. On 5 September, Nahid Islam, broadcasting and IT minister of the interim government, said during a meeting with the Pakistani envoy to Dhaka that Bangladesh wants to resolve the issue of the 1971 liberation war with Pakistan and “strengthen relations between the two countries to ensure a democratic South Asia”. “Unspeakable horrors were unleashed upon the erstwhile East Pakistani population by the West Pakistani army in 1971. Cosying up to Pakistan is literally the last straw. The Chhatra League will start a massive online campaign soon to bring Hasina back to Bangladesh as the prime minister. And, Inshallah, it shall have the entire country’s support,” said Hussain. Hussain said both the top leadership as well as the grassroots activists are recuperating, and reestablishing connections nationwide among members. “We are gearing up to fight for the idea of Bangladesh Yunus is trying to change,” he said. Hussain said it won’t be an easy fight. “My interview was not published by a media outlet because of pressure from the government. Media has been instructed to not report any activity of the Awami League and the Chhatra League. Shafikul Islam, Yunus’ press secretary, has said Awami League and Chhatra League won’t be allowed any political activity. Law enforcement agencies are instructed to arrest and imprison our activists if we take out a procession or assemble. But we aren’t giving up,” he said.

Dharamshala, Nov 30 (PTI) A panchayat official caught on camera warning two shawl sellers from Kashmir against trading their wares in Himachal Pradesh was booked for “promoting disharmony” and “insulting religious sentiments”, officials said. A showcause notice has also been issued to the panchayat samiti member seeking an explanation on her conduct in 15 days, they said. The 2.46-minute video that surfaced on social media showed the woman telling the two Kashmiris not to come to the village and asking them to say “Jai Shri Ram” to prove they are “Hindustani.” The woman later apologised in another video. “I accept my mistake and apologise if I intentionally or unintentionally said something wrong,” she said in the second video. The apology video was shared by the national convenor of the Jammu and Kashmir Students Association Nasir Khuehami who had claimed that the matter had been resolved after the apology. A case under Section 299 (insulting religious beliefs) and 196 (1) (to promote disharmony) of the BNS has been registered against the woman, SP Kangra Shalini Agnihotri said.
