Donald Trump's US visa rule is brutal: one crime & you're out, embassy warns Indians; details here
The United States embassy in India has issued a stark warning regarding the country's visa conditions on its X account. The embassy warns that anyone arrested for violent crimes such as assault or domestic abuse could have their visa revoked immediately and be blacklisted from future visa applications. The embassy closed with the following statement: 'A visa is a privilege, not a right – one that can be revoked if you break the law." This warning comes on the heels of the Donald Trump administration's increasingly hardline stances on immigration, which have been exemplified by the incredibly contentious mass deportation program that is currently ongoing. The Embassy had issued another warning earlier this month after an Indian immigrant was arrested for shoplifting at Target. The United States embassy threatens visa revocation The US Embassy's statement makes the dire consequences of violating visa conditions incredibly clear. If you are arrested for assault, domestic violence, or other crimes while in the United States, your U.S. visa may be revoked, and you may be ineligible for future U.S. visas. A visa is a privilege, not a right – one that can be revoked if you break the law. Historically, United States immigrants have been held to high standards when it comes to the consequences of breaking the law. These crimes don't just include the serious, violent offences such as domestic violence and assault that are mentioned in the Embassy's statement. Other crimes such as larceny, embezzlement, robbery and burglary can and have led to serious consequences faced by United States immigrants. Donald Trump's crackdown on immigrants has come under severe scrutiny, however, because of allegations that the President has not followed due process when detaining and deporting many of the migrants that are being rounded up by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Donald Trump's immigration crackdown dogged by due process concerns Donald Trump's mass deportation operation, which is being managed by Homeland Security Advisor Stephen Miller, as well as Border Czar Tom Homan, has apprehended and deported thousands of immigrants, and even alleged United States citizens, out of the country. NBC News: The 5th Amendment says everyone deserves due processDonald Trump: It might say that, but if you're talking about that, then we'd have to have a million or two million or three million trials. @atrupar Many of these detainees have wound up in detention centers such as CECOT or the Terrorism Confinement Center in El Salvador. Donald Trump's approach to deterring immigration been sharply criticized by his opponents, who accuse him of violating due process and punishing innocent people with no criminal record. Anti-ICE protests led to a massive flashpoint in Los Angeles in June 2025, where the National Guard and United States Marines were eventually mobilized to quell he crowds.

Indian embassy in contact with Irish authorities after Indian national attacked
The Embassy of India in Ireland has reached out to the Irish authorities and the civil society after an Indian citizen was viciously assaulted by right-wing gangs in Dublin over the weekend, Ambassador of India Akhilesh Mishra told The Hindu on Monday (July 21, 2025). 'The horrible attack has naturally caused widespread concern and fear in the local Indian community. Embassy is in touch with the victim, the larger community and has taken up the matter with various Irish authorities,' Ambassador Mishra said over the phone from Dublin informing that the male victim, an employee of Amazon, is receiving medical attention. The victim, in his forties, had arrived in Ireland only a week ago, sources told The Hindu, informing that the attacks against Indians and people of colour from other Asian and African countries are on the rise in Ireland. 'Ireland was not unsafe earlier, but over the past three years, the situation has dramatically changed because of the rise of violent racist gangs that target foreigners,' a diplomatic source said. Ireland has around one lakh Indians who are part of the high-income segment of the Irish economy. Ireland has traditionally been known for its tolerance and championing of justice globally. However, the recent spurt in racist attacks against foreigners has drawn attention from the expat Indian community, many of whom expressed shock online over the brutal attack on the Indian man during the weekend.

Egypt, Israel, Palestine Support Cyprus Settlement
Rana Atef Εgypt, Israel and the State of Palestine have expressed their support in efforts for peace in Cyprus, invited to comment on the 51st anniversary of the coup and the Turkish invasion and occupation of the island's northern third. Ambassador of the State of Palestine, Abdallah Attari said Cyprus and Palestine must maintain their faith in international law and legitimacy while Egyptian Ambassador, Mohamed Zaazou said his country supports efforts to resolve the Cyprus issue in accordance with international legitimacy and the relevant UN security council resolutions. Israel's Ambassador, Oren Anolik expressed support for a negotiated, peaceful solution in full respect of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Republic of Cyprus. Speaking to CNA, Mohamed Zaazou, Ambassador of Egypt to Cyprus said, 'Egypt recognizes that a comprehensive and viable settlement of the Cyprus issue will contribute to peace and stability in the region'. He said, 'Egypt affirms its support to Cyprus on the Cyprus issue, its backing for efforts to resolve it in accordance to international legitimacy and the relevant UN security council resolutions to reunify the island'. At the same time, 'Egypt also welcomes the recent efforts of the UN Secretary General to resume the negotiation process between the relevant parties'. In his comment, Israel's Ambassador in Nicosia, Oren Anolik said as a partner and friend, 'Israel supports the ongoing efforts to achieve a just, comprehensive and viable settlement of the Cyprus problem, in line with the established international framework'. On the occasion of the 51st anniversary of the Turkish invasion of Cyprus in 1974, he said 'Israel joins in commemorating this somber period in the island's history', adding 'our thoughts are with all those affected and with the continuing efforts to achieve peace and reconciliation'. The Israeli diplomat said the Cyprus-Israel relationship today is 'strong and characterized by close cooperation in various fields, such as: energy, innovation, real estate, defense, tourism, health and emergency response' while the 'historic connections, as well as other cultural ties, are beautifully documented in a publication recently released by the Embassy of Israel in Nicosia, entitled 'When Aphrodite met King David.' This book brings to light captivating stories that continue to resonate and bind our peoples through time'. An excellent example of the enduring bond is the compassion shown by the Cypriot people between 1946 and 1949, when the island offered refuge to over 50,000 Jewish Holocaust survivors in internment camps as they awaited a new beginning in Israel. The compassion of that time, Anolik added, remains a cornerstone of the friendship between our peoples. Anolik said 'as a partner and friend, Israel supports the ongoing efforts to achieve a just, comprehensive and viable settlement of the Cyprus problem, in line with the established international framework. We hope for a negotiated, peaceful solution in full respect of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Republic of Cyprus. We wish for a peaceful resolution that would reunify the island in a manner that ensures stability, prosperity, and dignity for all inhabitants of the island', he concluded. Ambassador of the State of Palestine, Abdallah Attari, said 'in an era where the logic of power and aggression prevails, and the problems of nations are addressed with double standards by global decision-making centers, Palestinians and Cypriots—like all peoples facing national and historical issues—must maintain their faith in international law and legitimacy'. Commitment to the principles of international law, he added, 'remains the only consistent path toward a just peace, the restoration of rights, and the prevention of any form of violation of a people's sovereignty'. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks
