NEW ORLEANS Jailbreak Shock: Dangerous Escapees Humiliate Security, Two Still Missing

The jailbreak exposed major security problems at the jail. The inmates got out by forcing open a broken cell door, crawling through a hole behind a toilet, and climbing over barbed wire at night. Guards didn’t notice they were missing until the morning headcount.
Adding insult to injury, the escapees left graffiti mocking jail staff. They wrote “To Easy LoL” with an arrow showing their escape route. City and state leaders admit there were serious mistakes in how the jail was run.

US-INDIA TRADE Deal Shock: Massive Tariff Slash Could Change Everything
— The United States and India are close to a trade deal that could end years of bitter tariff fights. Sources say the agreement would cut India’s average tariffs on American goods from 13 percent down to just 4 percent. Right now, India charges much higher tariffs than the U.S.—17 percent compared to America’s 3.3 percent, according to global data.
India is offering zero import duties on some U.S. products like airplanes, cars, and medical devices. In return, it wants better access for its own exports — such as jewelry and clothing — in American markets. Indian leaders also hope for more chances in high-tech fields like computer chips and medicine.
The Trump administration had raised tariffs on Indian goods because of a $45 billion trade gap favoring India but paused those hikes while talks continued. Both sides are now looking at “zero-for-zero” deals in key areas like steel and medicine, with the U.S. pressing India to fix strict quality rules that have blocked American companies.
Experts say time is running out before temporary tariff breaks expire. If this deal goes through, it could settle old disputes and open major investment doors for both countries — just as they compete with other nations for future U.S. trade deals.
IRANIAN SPIES Exposed: Shocking UK Security Failure Leaves Public At Risk
— Three Iranian men have been charged in London for helping Iran’s intelligence service after sneaking into the UK. Police say Farhad Javadi Manesh, Mostafa Sepahvand, and Shapoor Qalehali Khani Noori entered the country illegally using migrant boats and trucks, then claimed asylum.
Despite breaking the law to get in, these men were allowed to stay while their asylum requests were reviewed. Prosecutors now say they spied for Iran from August 2023 to February 2024.
Sepahvand is also accused of watching journalists at Iran International, a London news outlet critical of Iran’s government. This raises serious questions about how easily spies can enter and operate in Britain.
All three suspects are being held in jail and will face trial at the Old Bailey next month under national security laws. Many are demanding answers about why these threats weren’t stopped sooner.
TRUMP’S Iran Deal Bombshell, DOJ Hits Unitedhealth, And Chilling National Security Alerts Shake America
— President Trump says Iran has “sort of” agreed to a nuclear deal with the U.S., aiming for lasting peace.

CALIFORNIA JUDGE Halts Trump’s Bold Plan to Slash Federal Workforce
— A California judge has stopped President Trump’s push to cut the federal workforce. Judge Susan Illston, who was appointed by Bill Clinton, issued an emergency order after unions and city leaders fought back against Trump’s executive order to shrink government.
The judge’s ruling blocks agencies from following the president’s plan for 14 days. However, it does not force agencies to rehire anyone already laid off. Departments like Health and Human Services, which wanted to cut 10,000 jobs, are now on hold.
Judge Illston said President Trump will likely need Congress if he wants big changes like this. This legal battle shows how liberal states and labor groups keep fighting conservative efforts to lower government spending.
For now, Trump supporters will have to wait as the courts decide if his plan can move forward. The fight over government size is far from over.
TRUMP’S Third Term Bombshell: Social Security Upheaval and Supreme Court Fury Rock America
— Frank Bisignano, a longtime Wall Street leader, was confirmed by the Senate to run the Social Security Administration in a close 53-47 vote.

Overseas, trouble is brewing between India and Pakistan. Pakistan tested a ballistic missile and deadly violence broke out in Kashmir. India answered with military drills and threats to cut off water supplies. World leaders warn that nuclear conflict could be closer than we think.
President Trump’s new tariffs have restarted the fight over his “America First” trade plan. Ford Motor Company pulled its earnings forecast because of tariff worries, sparking debate about whether these moves will save American jobs or make life more expensive for families.
Trump also hinted he might seek a third term as president, saying “there are methods” but it’s “far too early.” The Supreme Court allowed Trump’s transgender military ban to stay in place, while his team announced $1,000 incentives for illegal immigrants who agree to leave on their own — both decisions causing heated arguments across the country as crime and unrest continue at public events and college campuses.
BISIGNANO VICTORY: Senate Ignites Hope for Social Security Reform Amid Liberal Fury
— Frank Bisignano, a seasoned Wall Street leader, has been confirmed by the Senate to head the Social Security Administration. The vote was close — 53 in favor and 47 against.
Liberal lawmakers and activists are furious over his appointment. They worry he will push for big changes to Social Security. Conservatives, however, see this as a much-needed step toward fixing the program.
Bisignano’s new role could mean real change in how Social Security is run. Many on the right hope he will bring discipline and accountability to a system that desperately needs it.
BISIGNANO SHOCKS Washington: Senate Greenlights Social Security Shakeup Despite Liberal Fury
— Frank Bisignano, a seasoned Wall Street leader, has been confirmed by the Senate to head the Social Security Administration. The vote was tight — 53 in favor, 47 against — showing just how divided Washington is over this pick.
Bisignano takes charge as big changes hit the agency. In recent months, there have been layoffs, office closures, and program cuts — all part of President Trump’s push for a leaner government with help from adviser Elon Musk.
Democrats are using Social Security as a rallying cry against Trump. Joe Biden even claimed that Trump “has taken a hatchet” to benefits for seniors and families who rely on these programs.
Despite all the noise from Democrats and activists, Bisignano will serve as commissioner until January 2031. At his confirmation hearing, he made it clear he has no plans to privatize Social Security — putting some worries to rest but leaving others fired up about what comes next.
ISRAEL’S Bold Security Zones Spark Outrage And Fear
— Israel’s defense minister says troops will stay in security zones across Gaza, Lebanon, and Syria for now. He claims these buffer areas are needed to shield Israeli families from threats like Hamas and Hezbollah.
Israel is still hitting Gaza with airstrikes as it tries to force Hamas to release hostages. Local officials say 22 more people died in the latest attacks on Wednesday.
Hamas refuses to let hostages go unless Israel pulls out completely and agrees to a lasting ceasefire. Some hostage families are upset, saying the government cares more about land than saving their loved ones.
Leaders in nearby countries and many Palestinians call Israel’s troop presence an illegal occupation. These moves have made peace talks even harder, with both sides refusing to back down from their demands.
TURKISH Student’s SHOCKING Detention by Homeland Security Sparks Outrage
— A Turkish doctoral student at Tufts University, Rumeysa Ozturk, was detained by U.S. Department of Homeland Security agents.

Ozturk was on her way to meet friends for iftar during Ramadan when stopped. Khanbabai stated they don’t know her current location and can’t contact her. No charges have been filed against Ozturk, who holds a valid visa for studying in the U.S., according to Khanbabai’s statement.
JEFFRIES DEMANDS Hegseth’S Removal: National Security at Risk
— In a letter to President Trump, Jeffries slammed Pete Hegseth as the “most unqualified Secretary of Defense” ever. He claimed Hegseth endangered national security by leaking sensitive war plans. Jeffries called for Hegseth’s immediate removal to protect American lives and uphold the law.
The issue began with a Signal group chat started by National Security Adviser Michael Waltz. It included top officials and a reporter, discussing military operations against the Houthis. Waltz’s message talked about forming a “tiger team” for coordination, raising concerns about security breaches.
Jeffries’ letter points out risks from careless handling of classified info in government circles. Including non-government people in sensitive talks has sparked debate over accountability and transparency among top defense leaders.
Rural Seniors STRUGGLE as SOCIAL Security Rules Shift
— Veronica Taylor, a 73-year-old from rural West Virginia, faces challenges with new Social Security rules. She lacks internet skills and transportation, making it hard to access her benefits.
The Trump administration wants to streamline processes and cut fraud by requiring online or in-person identity checks for Social Security recipients. This change could be tough for people like Taylor.
Mary Weaver, visiting the McDowell County Senior Center, shares worries about these changes starting on March 31. Seniors in remote areas might struggle without proper support systems.
FEDERAL JUDGE Stands Firm: Social Security Agency’s Future in Jeopardy
— A federal judge has pushed back against Leland Dudek, the acting head of the Social Security Administration (SSA), over his threat to close the agency. Dudek argued that a ruling blocking Elon Musk’s cost-cutting team from accessing sensitive taxpayer data could apply broadly to all employees. He suggested this might require blocking nearly all SSA employees from computer systems access.
Dudek first made his closure threat during an interview with Bloomberg News on Thursday night, sparking concerns about potential disruptions in social security services. In a Friday interview with The Washington Post, he criticized the judge’s decision as overly broad and warned of its implications for agency operations.
This legal standoff highlights ongoing tensions between government agencies and private sector influences under Musk’s leadership. The situation raises questions about how far private interests can go in influencing public institutions without compromising essential services for citizens.
“Social Security IDENTITY Checks Trigger OUTRAGE Among Millions”
— The Social Security Administration’s new plan requires in-person identity checks for millions, stirring concern among lawmakers and advocacy groups. This change aims to fight fraud, a priority highlighted by President Trump. However, the closure of government offices at the same time has sparked criticism.
Starting March 31st, those unable to verify their identity online must visit an SSA field office. Yet, with 47 field offices set to close and mass layoffs planned, service delays are expected. This raises fears of increased barriers for vulnerable populations needing Social Security services.
Nancy LeaMond from AARP criticized eliminating phone verification as impractical and warned it would cause longer wait times. She stressed the need for transparency and input from affected older Americans. Delays in Social Security services could lead to significant economic hardship for recipients who rely on timely assistance.

TRUMP STRIKES Back: DEI Initiatives Face Shocking Cuts
— The TRUMP administration has taken a bold step against federal diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA) offices. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt announced that employees in these offices will be placed on paid administrative leave immediately. This move aligns with President Trump’s broader agenda to reshape federal policies and reduce what he sees as politically motivated initiatives.
In another major development, the Pentagon is deploying 1,500 active-duty troops to secure the US-Mexico border. This action underscores the administration’s commitment to tackling illegal immigration and boosting national security. The deployment marks a significant shift in immigration policy after Trump’s election victory, signaling a tougher approach to border control.
Meanwhile, President Trump signed his first piece of legislation aimed at cracking down on illegal immigration — the Laken Riley Act. Named after a Georgia nursing student murdered by an undocumented immigrant, this law highlights the administration’s focus on tightening immigration laws and ensuring public safety. The act received bipartisan support in Congress, showing changing political dynamics around immigration issues.
Additionally, far-right leaders Enrique Tarrio and Stewart Rhodes have spoken out after receiving clemency from Trump for their roles in the January 6 riot. They expressed hopes that Trump would seek retribution for their prosecutions, adding another layer of controversy to his early days back in office as he sets an

ISRAEL’S Security Cabinet Faces Intense Decision on Gaza Ceasefire
— Israel’s security cabinet is preparing to vote on a proposed ceasefire deal in the ongoing Gaza conflict. The negotiations, led by U.S. President Joe Biden and Qatari officials, aim to halt fighting and secure the release of hostages held by Hamas.

JORDANIAN "TERRORIST" Captured: Border Security Fears Grow
— Federal authorities have identified Mohammed Hasan Abdellatif Albana, a Jordanian migrant, as a “known or suspected terrorist.” ICE Enforcement Removal Operations in Seattle reported his capture near Lynden, Washington. How he entered the U.S. is still unclear.
Albana was deported back to Jordan on November 15 after immigration proceedings. ERO Seattle stressed their commitment to removing noncitizens who threaten national security. “Our officers perform these removals dutifully,” stated ERO Seattle Field Office Director Drew H. Bostock.

GERMANY FOILS Isis Plot: Arrest Sparks Security Alert
— German authorities have arrested a Libyan man suspected of planning an attack on the Israeli embassy in Berlin. The arrest happened in the Bernau suburb, stopping a potential terror act. The suspect intended to flee to Sankt Augustin and eventually leave Germany after carrying out the attack.
Israel’s ambassador to Germany, Ron Prosor, praised German authorities for keeping the embassy safe. He emphasized that “Muslim anti-Semitism” fuels global terrorism and endangers embassy staff. Local Interior Minister Herbert Reul warned those threatening Jewish life in Germany: "We are on your trail!
This arrest follows a recent shooting by an 18-year-old Austrian citizen of Bosnian descent at the Israeli consulate in Munich. The attack also targeted a nearby museum dedicated to National Socialism documentation. These events highlight ongoing threats against Jewish institutions in Europe.
UK’S CHAGOS ISLANDS Plan Ignites Security Fears
— The UK government faces backlash after announcing plans to hand over the British Indian Ocean Territory (BIOT) to Mauritius. This decision has raised alarms in Washington D.C. and London, with officials warning it could give China a strategic foothold. The BIOT includes Diego Garcia, a crucial military base supporting Western defense operations.
Critics argue that transferring sovereignty risks Chinese influence through debt-trap diplomacy, similar to Hong Kong under China’s control. Despite UK government assurances of safeguards in the deal, concerns persist about long-term security implications. The agreement supposedly secures the military base for 99 years but depends on future compliance by all parties involved.
The Times reported unnamed sources claiming private warnings from U.S. officials about potential Chinese espionage threats if Mauritius gains control of the islands. British civil servants reportedly echoed these concerns, fearing China might set up listening posts nearby. However, the UK government denies such discussions occurred and remains confident in its decision-making regarding BIOT’s governance future.
Nigel Farage MP has called for parliamentary debate and voting on this matter when Parliament reconvenes, emphasizing that surrendering sovereignty should not happen without public discourse or electoral mandate approval. This move was notably absent from Labour’s recent election manifesto, adding to domestic political tensions surrounding this controversial decision by Britain’s leaders.

WHO PANDEMIC Deal Sparks Global Fears: What’s Really at Stake?
— The World Health Organization just adopted its first-ever global Pandemic Agreement. Leaders from 194 countries met in Geneva to sign off on the deal after three years of talks, most of it behind closed doors. WHO chief Dr. Tedros called for “global solidarity,” but many worry this is a push for more control from unelected health officials.
The agreement sets up a new Pathogen Access and Benefit Sharing system, or PABS, to track and share information about outbreaks faster. Supporters claim it will help stop future pandemics before they start. Critics warn it could give the WHO too much power over national health decisions.
Other topics on the table include funding for the WHO, fighting drug-resistant bacteria, polio eradication efforts, climate change impacts on health, and how much money will be spent through 2027. India was praised for wiping out trachoma as a public health threat.
Dr. Teodoro Javier Herbosa from the Philippines was chosen as Assembly President this year. The event is being streamed by Reuters as delegates debate rules that could change how countries handle future emergencies — whether they want to or not.
