US court: Iran owes $1.4B over ex-FBI agent presumed dead
Read full article: US court: Iran owes $1.4B over ex-FBI agent presumed deadTensions remain high between the U.S. and Iran amid President Donald Trump's maximalist pressure campaign over Tehran's nuclear program. In a ruling dated Thursday, the U.S. District Court in Washington found Iran owed Levinson's family $1.35 billion in punitive damages and $107 million in compensatory damages for his kidnapping. The court cited the case of Otto Warmbier, an American college student who died in 2017 shortly after being freed from captivity in North Korea, in deciding to award the massive amount of punitive damages to Levinson's family. In a statement, Levinson's family called the court's award “the first step in the pursuit of justice.”“Until now, Iran has faced no consequences for its actions,” the family said. In December 2013, the AP revealed Levinson in fact had been on a mission for CIA analysts who had no authority to run spy operations.
Federal judge blocks rule limiting asylum claims by Central Americans
Read full article: Federal judge blocks rule limiting asylum claims by Central Americans(CNN) - A federal judge in California late Wednesday issued a nationwide injunction against the Trump administration's new asylum rule that dramatically limits the ability of Central American migrants to claim asylum if they enter the US by land through Mexico. The ruling from US District Judge Jon Tigar, a Barack Obama nominee, came hours after another federal judge in Washington, DC, an appointee of President Donald Trump, had declined to block the rule. "This new rule is likely invalid because it is inconsistent with the existing asylum laws," Tigar wrote. The plaintiffs also argued that the rule harms their organization's ability to work with asylum seekers. The asylum rule immediately faced legal challenges last week.
