The Houthis in Yemen Retaliate for US Strikes by Attacking a US Aircraft Carrier Twice In retribution for the deadly US strikes, Yemen's Houthi rebels, who are backed by Iran, said Monday they had attacked an American aircraft carrier group twice in a 24-hour period. Hours later, the Houthis claimed to have shot a second round after first claiming to have fired 18 missiles and a drone at the "aircraft carrier USS Harry Truman and its accompanying warships" in the Red Sea. The United States did not immediately comment on the alleged attacks by the Houthis. A Houthi official claimed that the assaults on the carrier group were "in retaliation to the continued American aggression against our country" in a message that was uploaded to Telegram on Monday.

Hegseth brought wife to 'sensitive' military meetings: Report

A Venezuelan migrant who gained popularity for urging illegal border crossers to squat in American homes, has been deported back to Venezuela this week, according to The New York Post.&nbsp;
Leonel Moreno used TikTok to boast about US welfare benefits and encouraged illegal crossers to stay in the US. He advised migrants to "invade abandoned houses".&nbsp;
His deportation comes as US President Donald Trump continues to tighten immigration policies.&nbsp;
Moreno allegedly caused a disturbance on the deportation flight, after which the authorities placed him in a separate section under heightened security.&nbsp;

<h2>How did it start?</h2>
Moreno illegally entered the US illegally via the Texas border in April 2022. However, he failed to comply with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) check-ins, which led to his arrest in Ohio in March 2024.&nbsp;
An immigration judge ordered his deportation in October 2023, but at the time, Venezuela did not accept US deportation flights.&nbsp;
However after Trump began pushing the deportations, Moreno was transferred to an ICE detention centre in Texas.&nbsp;

While he was in the US, Moreno's social media posts caused public outrage. Frequently, he showcased wads of cash while claiming he didn't "cross the Rio Grande to work like a slave".&nbsp;
Moreover, he also bragged about using his US-born child to boost his social media presence, claiming his daughter's birth was fully funded by "Papa Biden".&nbsp;

World: Leonel Moreno used TikTok to boast about US welfare benefits and encouraged illegal crossers to stay in the US. He advised migrants to "invade abandoned houses".

A Venezuelan migrant who gained popularity for urging illegal border crossers to squat in American homes, has been deported back to Venezuela this week, according to The New York Post. Leonel Moreno used TikTok to boast about US welfare benefits and encouraged illegal crossers to stay in the US. He advised migrants to "invade abandoned houses". His deportation comes as US President Donald Trump continues to tighten immigration policies. Moreno allegedly caused a disturbance on the deportation flight, after which the authorities placed him in a separate section under heightened security.

Moreno illegally entered the US illegally via the Texas border in April 2022. However, he failed to comply with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) check-ins, which led to his arrest in Ohio in March 2024. An immigration judge ordered his deportation in October 2023, but at the time, Venezuela did not accept US deportation flights. However after Trump began pushing the deportations, Moreno was transferred to an ICE detention centre in Texas.

An Indian-American student claimed that in America's Houston University, the course on Hinduism is "misinterpreted and portrayed negatively".&nbsp;
He further accused the professor of calling Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi a "Hindu fundamentalist".&nbsp;
"It was presented as a given and any affirmation of Hindu identity was framed as potentially fundamentalist and so that sort of creates this atmosphere where Hinduism is framed through suspicion and far as misrepresenting India's political landscape is concerned, I mean, in the early weeks of the course," Bhatt told ANI.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Later on Saturday, the university defended its Hinduism course, saying that it was rooted in the academic discipline of religious studies and employed specific terminology, including "fundamentalism", as part of its scholarly framework.&nbsp;
This comes in response to a student complaint regarding the course "Lived Hindu Religion."

Bhatt expressed his concerns over the course, alleging Hinduphobic bias and cited specific examples from the syllabus that he found troubling.&nbsp;
"I guess it began with specific examples from the course content and materials that sort of demonstrated this Hinduphobic bias. The clearest and most troubling example was found in the core syllabus itself and it stated that the word Hindu is recent, not found in scripture," he said.&nbsp;
"Hindutva or Hinduness is a term that Hindu nationalists, those who believe Hinduism should be the official religion of India, used to designate their religion and denigrate others, namely Islam. This is what was said in the syllabus, and this is not some neutral academic statement, right?" he added.&nbsp;

Bhatt also submitted a complaint to the dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences regarding concerns over the syllabus.&nbsp;
However, he was questioned about why he had not directly addressed the issue with the professor.
