In a major update, the United States on Tuesday deported Anmol Bishnoi, the younger brother of mob boss Lawrence Bishnoi and a conspirator in the murder of Nationalist Congress Party lawmaker Baba Siddiqui. His son, Zeeshan Siddiqui, was informed by the US Department of Homeland Security in an email that was shared with NDTV.&nbsp;"This email is to inform you ANMOL BISHNOI has been removed from the United States by the federal government. The offender was removed on November 18, 2025," the email confirmed. Based on the NDTV report, the Bishnoi is likely to be deported to India on November 19.&nbsp;Anmol Bishnoi is wanted by India for several crimes, including the murders of Punjabi artist Sidhu Moosewala in May 2022 and Siddiqui in October 2024. In April 2024, he was also wanted for shooting outside the Mumbai residence of Bollywood star Salman Khan.<h3>Bishnoi's Asylum and Interpol's Red Notice</h3>The American officials nabbed him in November last year; however, the arrest was not on charges related to criminal activities in India but for entering the United States illegally, based on the input from NDTV's sources.&nbsp;A few days later, India began the extradition process; this happened after a Maharashtra court issued a non-bailable warrant and the global law enforcement agency Interpol issued a Red Corner Notice. It was later revealed that the Indian government did not anticipate Anmol Bishoni's extradition because the wanted criminal had requested asylum from US authorities.&nbsp;The younger brother of Lawrence Bishnoi gained notoriety last year when he was placed on the National Investigation Agency's Most Wanted List, and a reward of Rs 10 lakh was offered for his capture. He is the target of eighteen cases, one of which alleges that he supplied the persons who killed Moosewala with guns and logistical support.

The US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has removed age restrictions for new Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) recruits, opening the door for applicants as young as 18, and with no upper limit, to join the agency.Previously, applicants had to be at least 21 and no older than 37 or 40, depending on the role.

The US Department of Homeland Security is updating its visa policy to stop transgender women from travelling to the country to take part in elite women’s sporting events. New guidance issued by US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) on Monday will prevent athletes from obtaining “extraordinary ability” visas to compete in female sports. The policy stems from an executive order signed by President Donald Trump in the early weeks of his presidency aimed at barring trans women from female sports.<h2>Guidance targets ‘male athletes’ in women’s categories</h2>The updated rules avoid using the term “transgender” and instead refer to “male athletes” seeking to compete in women’s events. Matthew Tragesser, a USCIS spokesperson, said the agency is “closing the loophole for foreign male athletes whose only chance at winning elite sports is to change their gender identity and leverage their biological advantages against women.”“It’s a matter of safety, fairness, respect, and truth that only female athletes receive a visa to come to the US to participate in women’s sports,” he added. “The Trump Administration is standing up for the silent majority who’ve long been victims of leftist policies that defy common sense,” he said.<h2>Wider scope beyond sport</h2>The policy applies to three visa categories for individuals with “extraordinary ability” in science, art, education, business, or athletics. It also affects national interest waivers, which allow applicants to bypass labour certification for a green card if their work is deemed beneficial to the US.Under the change, USCIS will treat the fact that a male athlete has competed against women as a “negative factor” when deciding whether they rank among the top in their sport. The agency also states it is not in the national interest to waive labour certification for trans women whose aim is to compete in female sports.<h2>NCAA and Olympic implications</h2>The NCAA, which oversees US college athletics, has around 25,000 international student athletes out of more than 500,000 total competitors. Its president, Charlie Baker, told a Senate panel last year that he was aware of fewer than 10 trans athletes in the system.The new rules could have impacted those hoping to compete in the Los Angeles 2028 Summer Olympics. However, the US Olympic and Paralympic Committee last month barred trans women from female sports.

An attack in the homeland may come with little or no warning: US Department of Homeland Security 

The US Department of Homeland Security has warned US firms of the risks to company data from Chinese-made drones, according to a notice reviewed by Reuters on Monday.

The notice, titled "Chinese Manufactured Unmanned Aircraft Systems," warned that US officials have "strong concerns about any technology product that takes American data into the territory of an authoritarian state that permits its intelligence services to have unfettered access to that data or otherwise abuses that access."

A spokeswoman for DHS's Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency confirmed that it "recently released an industry alert providing organizations with information related to the inherit risks associated with using UAS technology manufactured in China and measures to reduce such risk."

The notice, which did not name any companies, was reported earlier by CNN. It urged companies to "be aware of whether your UAS data is being stored by the vendor or other third parties. If it is being stored, find out how, where, and for how long."

This is the latest concern raised by the US government about the threats of Chinese-made devices. On Wednesday, the US Commerce Department added Huawei Technologies Co Ltd and 68 affiliates to an export blacklist, citing the risk of to US national security from the telecommunications network equipment maker.

China's SZ DJI Technology Co Ltd, the world's largest maker of consumer drones, said in a statement on Monday that "the security of our technology has been independently verified by the US government and leading US businesses."

The company added that it gives "customers full and complete control over how their data is collected, stored, and transmitted." It said that for government and critical infrastructure customers, "we provide drones that do not transfer data to DJI or via the internet."

President Donald Trump&#39;s administration plans to consider almost all illegal immigrants subject to deportation, but will leave protections in place for immigrants known as &quot;dreamers&quot; who entered the United States illegally as children, according to official guidelines released on Tuesday.

The Department of Homeland Security guidance to immigration agents is part of a broader border security and immigration enforcement plan in executive orders that Republican Trump signed on January 25.

Former President Barack Obama, a Democrat, issued an executive order in 2012 that protected 750,000 immigrants who had been brought into the United States illegally by their parents. Trump has said the issue is &quot;very difficult&quot; for him.

Trump campaigned on a pledge to get tougher on the estimated 11 million illegal immigrants in the United States, playing on fears of violent crime while promising to build a wall on the border with Mexico and to stop potential terrorists from entering the country.

Trump&#39;s planned measures against illegal immigrants have drawn protests, such as an event last week that activists called &quot;A Day Without Immigrants&quot; to highlight the importance of foreign-born people, who account for 13 percent of the US&nbsp;population, or more than 40 million naturalized American citizens.

A banner declaring &quot;Refugees Welcome&quot; was posted on the base of the Statue of Liberty, a symbol of American acceptance of immigrants, before park rangers removed it on Tuesday, WABC television reported.

DHS officials, on a conference call with reporters, said that although any immigrant in the country illegally could be deported, the agency will prioritize those deemed a threat.

These include recent entrants, those convicted of a crime and people charged but not convicted of a crime. Some details of the guidelines were detailed in a draft memo seen on Saturday.

Hiring More Agents

Many of the instructions will not be implemented immediately because they depend on Congress, a public comment period or negotiations with other nations, the officials said. Mexican immigration officials immediately objected to part of the new rules.

The guidance also calls for the hiring of 10,000 more US&nbsp;Immigration and Customs (ICE) agents and 5,000 more US&nbsp;Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents.

The DHS will need to publish a notice in the Federal Register subject to review in order to implement one part of the plan that calls on ICE agents to increase the number of immigrants who are not given a hearing before being deported.

The new rules would subject immigrants who cannot show they have been in the country for more than two years to &quot;expedited removal&quot;. Currently, only migrants apprehended near a U.S. border who cannot show they have been in the country more than 14 days are subject to rapid removal.

The memos also instruct ICE to detain migrants who are awaiting a court decision on whether they will be deported or granted relief, such as asylum. DHS officials said they are reviewing what jurisdictions may have laws in place that prevent the amount of time immigrants can be held.

The agency also plans to send non-Mexican migrants crossing the southern US&nbsp;border back into Mexico as they await a decision on their case. The DHS officials said this plan would be dependent on partnerships with the Mexican government and would not be implemented overnight.

The guidelines were released a day before US&nbsp;Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly were due in Mexico City for talks with President Enrique Pena Nieto and Mexican officials.

An official from Mexico&#39;s Foreign Ministry said the government would tell Kelly&#39;s team to that it was &quot;impossible&quot; for Mexico to accept deportees or asylum applicants from foreign countries, and would ask them to explain their plan.

The deportation of Mexicans would be one of the government&#39;s major concerns at the meeting, said the official, who declined to be named.

A spokeswoman from the Foreign Ministry did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The 'dreamers' were brought illegally into the US as children by their parents
