Noem ends Biden-era use of controversial app to allow migrants to board flights, except to self-deport
"Secretary Noem is reversing the horrendous Biden-Era policy that allowed aliens in our country illegally to jet around our country and do so without identification," a DHS spokesperson told Fox News Digital.
"Under President Trump, TSA and DHS will no longer tolerate this. Aliens in our country illegally can no longer fly unless it is out of our country to self-deport," they said.

The Biden administration had expanded the use of the CBP One app to allow migrants to enter the U.S. at ports of entry or via a separate parole process. That process involved them uploading information including a photograph. The Biden administration also allowed for the app to be used by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to verify a migrant without sufficient ID by comparing a photograph of a migrant in DHS records, and also use biometric matching. Those verified would also receive additional physical screening.

While migrants being allowed to board flights without ID predates the Biden administration, the use of the CBP One app has since become a method for identity matching of migrants without acceptable forms of ID. The new policy change ends the use of CBP One at screening checkpoints and TSA's National Transportation Vetting Center, and also bars air travel for migrants who were paroled or released into the U.S. pending their immigration processing, who do not present a TSA-accepted form of ID, and who are not self-deporting.
It marks the latest crackdown on illegal immigration and also those who have been paroled into the U.S. using the CBP One app. President Donald Trump ordered an end to the use of the CBP One app to parole migrants into the U.S. on his first day in office. His administration has also paused applications for parole programs, and allowed ICE to cancel parole statuses of migrants.

Last week, Noem also reversed a Biden-era extension of Temporary Protected Status for Haitians. That in turn comes after the cancelation of a separate TPS extension for Venezuelan nationals. Noem also signed a memo that deputizes up to 600 State Department officials to act as immigration officers.Original article source: Noem ends Biden-era use of controversial app to allow migrants to board flights, except to self-deport

Rocket Lab jumped by 9.03 percent on Monday to finish at $38.88 apiece as investors gobbled up shares amid rosy opportunities from the ongoing feud between President Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk.

Trump tires of Putin's "bullsh*t"
President Trump has been touting his friendly relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin for nearly a decade, but he lamented Tuesday that Putin's warm words are ultimately "meaningless." "We get a lot of bullsh*t thrown at us by Putin, if you want to know the truth. He's very nice all the time, but it turns out to be meaningless," Trump said at a Cabinet meeting. Why it matters: Trump took office confident he could swiftly convince Putin to make peace, even claiming for a time that the real obstacle was Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. While Trump's position has repeatedly zig-zagged since, his sympathies currently appear to be almost entirely with the Ukrainians. Trump lifted a freeze on defensive weapons for Kyiv on Monday, and on Tuesday said he was "strongly" considering a package to put steep sanctions on Russia. Reality check: So far, Trump has resisted pressure to take any significant action to punish Putin for his unwillingness to make peace and repeated bombardments of Ukrainian cities. Between the lines: The latest major Russian aerial attack came hours after Putin spoke to Trump by phone on Friday. Trump said he was "very disappointed" in that call and has repeatedly criticized Putin since. This is arguably the harshest line Trump has taken on Putin thus far and the warmest point in his relationship with Zelensky.

Iran, US seek to resume back-channel efforts to restart nuclear talks, Iran's foreign ministry says
Esmaeil Baghaei, the Iranian foreign ministry spokesman, had said that the US needed to show it had a genuine desire for peace with Iran. The Iranian Foreign Ministry stated that there are 'back-channel efforts' to restart talks for a diplomatic solution on the nuclear issue with the United States, according to a Thursday Sky News interview with an Iranian foreign ministry spokesperson. Esmaeil Baghaei, the Iranian foreign ministry spokesman, had said that the US needed to show it had a genuine desire for peace with Iran. "Diplomacy must not be abused or used as a tool for deception or for a sort of psychological warfare against their adversaries," he said. He added that diplomacy had been betrayed by the US when Israel attacked during nuclear deal talks with the Trump administration. Baghaei also said that the US had breached international laws by showing support for the 'Zionist aggression.' However, the spokesman continued, 'Diplomacy never ends, there are contacts, indirectly. My minister is talking to Oman, Qatar, and others". The official claimed that Iran had held high hopes for a diplomatic relationship with the US that would end the sanctions and deliver a nuclear deal. However, the official stressed that trust in the US was damaged when the US struck Iranian nuclear sites. US President Donald Trump said on Thursday that Iran wants to speak to the US, and that he would meet with representatives of the country "if necessary." "Iran does want to speak, and I think they'd like to speak to me, and it's time that they do," Trump told reporters at Joint Base Andrews while on his way to a rally in Iowa. "We're not looking to hurt them. We're looking to let them be a country again." Saudi Arabian Defense Minister Prince Khalid bin Salman met with US President Donald Trump and other officials at the White House on Thursday to discuss de-escalation efforts with Iran, Fox News reported on Thursday, citing multiple sources. Reuters contributed to this report.
