US President Donald Trump signed an executive order on January 29 pledging to deport non-citizen college students and others who took part in pro-Palestinian protests across US campuses in 2024 in an effort to combat what he referred to as an "explosion of anti-Semitism.”
Trump’s order drew condemnation from a number of rights groups and legal experts, who said the new measure would violate constitutional free speech rights and likely draw legal challenges.
Many pro-Palestinian protesters have rejected claims that they support Hamas or that their actions are anti-Semitic acts, stating that their demonstrations were against Israel's 15-month military assault on Gaza, which has killed more than 47,400 people since October 7, 2024.

Upon signing the Laken Riley Act into law, Donald Trump announced his intention to expand the Guantanamo Bay US detention site, located in Cuba, to hold 30,000 new beds, which he plans for undocumented immigrants to occupy as the law takes effect.
The notorious Guantanamo Bay prison has been known for human rights violations carried out against its detainees. It was established by former US President George Bush in the aftermath of 9/11, as part of the US "war on terror".
The Laken Riley Act, which garnered bi-partisan support in the House and Senate, allows for US police to deport undocumented immigrants if they are merely accused of crimes, no longer requiring a conviction before doing so.

From incense offerings and vibrant lion dances to prayer rituals at temples, hundreds of millions of people across Asia — and Asian communities around the world — are celebrating the Lunar New Year on January 29, ushering in the Year of the Snake and bidding farewell to the Year of the Dragon.
The annual festival — which honours a different animal based on the Chinese zodiac — begins with the first new moon of the lunar calendar and ends 15 days later on the first full moon. Because the lunar calendar is based on the cycles of the Moon, the dates of the holiday vary slightly each year, falling between late January and mid-February.

A majority of young people in the UK — aged 13 to 27 — support the idea of the country becoming a dictatorship, according to a new study.
The findings, set to be presented at a Royal Television Society event as part of Channel 4’s report titled “Gen Z: Trends, Truth and Trust,” found that among the 3,000 adults of all ages surveyed, Gen Z was simultaneously the "most authoritarian and most liberal generation.”

Atomic scientists have reset the “Doomsday Clock,” moving its hands from 90 seconds to 89 seconds to midnight — symbolising how close they deem the world is to ending. Midnight marks the theoretical point of annihilation.
Each year, atomic scientists move the hands of the clock closer to — or further away from — midnight based on "existential" risks to Earth and humanity such as nuclear war and climate crisis, as well as advancing technologies such as artificial intelligence and emerging biotechnology.
