US President Donald Trump has intensified his campaign against judicial interventions, urging the Supreme Court to prevent judges from obstructing his policy initiatives. In a post on Truth Social, Trump specifically called on Chief Justice John Roberts to "STOP NATIONWIDE INJUNCTIONS NOW, BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE," following a recent ruling that sought to halt his summary deportation efforts. This latest demand comes after Roberts publicly criticized Trump for suggesting the impeachment of the judge involved in the immigration case. Trump's remarks underscore a growing tension between the executive branch and the judiciary as he seeks to advance his administration's agenda amid legal challenges. 
Published: Mar 21 2025, 5 ameznews.inUS President Donald Trump has dismissed reports suggesting that billionaire Elon Musk would receive a "top-secret briefing" regarding military strategies in a potential conflict with China. The New York Times, along with other outlets, had indicated that Musk was scheduled for a briefing on US military plans, raising concerns about the influence of the unelected tech mogul in the White House. Trump refuted these claims on his Truth Social platform, insisting that "China will not even be mentioned or discussed," and labeled the story as "completely untrue." Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth confirmed Musk's visit to the Pentagon but clarified that the informal meeting would focus on innovation rather than military strategies against China. The backdrop of rising tensions between the US and China, alongside criticism from Democrats about Musk's involvement in government policy without proper vetting, adds to the controversy surrounding the meeting. Musk himself criticized the media reports as "pure propaganda."
Published: Mar 21 2025, 9 pmeznews.inLast year marked the deadliest on record for migrants, with nearly 9,000 confirmed deaths on perilous routes, according to the International Organization for Migration (IOM). The agency's Deputy Director General for Operations, Ugochi Daniels, emphasized the urgent need for a comprehensive international response to prevent further tragedies. In 2024 alone, at least 8,938 migrants lost their lives, with Asian routes proving the most lethal, followed by the Mediterranean and African crossings, including the Sahara Desert. Since 2021, the annual toll of migrant deaths has consistently risen, with many fatalities likely unrecorded due to insufficient official data. The Geneva-based IOM, among other organizations assisting displaced individuals, faces significant challenges due to major aid cuts from the United States, which have forced it to reduce or close programs critical for migrant support, potentially exacerbating the crisis.

This announcement follows federal charges against three individuals accused of using Molotov cocktails against Tesla properties. Trump, a staunch supporter of Elon Musk and Tesla, has publicly condemned the attacks, labelling them as "domestic terrorism" and expressing his desire to see severe penalties for the perpetrators. The recent violence has raised concerns, particularly as Tesla's stock has plummeted by 50% over the past year. As Congress prepares to investigate these incidents, Speaker Mike Johnson has suggested a connection between the attacks and Democratic opposition, while Trump has reinforced his commitment to supporting American companies amid ongoing scrutiny of Musk's role in government initiatives.

Amid rising tensions, locals protested against the Pakistani military's alleged human rights violations, leading to an incident where demonstrators forcibly entered the Civil Hospital and reportedly took away several corpses.

Activists from the Baloch Yakjehti Committee, who have been advocating for the rights of the missing, confirmed the incident, stressing their attempts to access the morgue to reassure families that the deceased were not their relatives. The group is now reportedly under scrutiny from Pakistan's intelligence services.

Published: Mar 21 2025, 7 pmeznews.inVietnamese authorities are investigating the Chinese tea brand Chagee for displaying an online map that includes Beijing's contentious "nine-dash line" claims in the South China Sea.

Published: Mar 21 2025, 5 pmeznews.inLamborghini and Mercedes-Maybach are eyeing significant expansion in India, driven by a surge in young affluent consumers eager to invest in luxury vehicles. Lamborghini, following a record sales year with 113 cars sold in 2024, is considering a fourth showroom in the country, as the average age of its buyers is under 40, the youngest demographic after China. The brand's Urus SUV, priced around $500,000, accounted for half of its sales. Meanwhile, Mercedes-Maybach reported a remarkable 145% growth, selling 500 super luxury cars, with prices starting at $325,000. Executives from both companies noted that India's rapid economic growth has shifted attitudes towards luxury spending, particularly among younger generations less focused on saving.

Published: Mar 21 2025, 5 pmeznews.inThe Department of Homeland Security has labeled Franco José Caraballo Tiapa, a Venezuelan asylum seeker with multiple tattoos, as a “Deportable/Excludable Alien” without detailing the basis for this classification. Caraballo, who enjoys tattoos as personal expressions, has been linked to Venezuela's notorious Tren de Aragua gang solely based on his body art, a claim his attorney disputes, citing expert opinions that tattoos do not signify gang affiliation in Venezuela. This trend extends to other deported Venezuelans, including psychology student Neri José Alvarado Borges and barber Luis Carlos José Marcano Silva, both of whom also bear tattoos unrelated to gang culture. The U.S. government, which recently designated Tren de Aragua as a foreign terrorist organization, has faced criticism for equating tattoos with criminality. Despite the administration's portrayal of these deportees as threats, specific allegations and identities remain undisclosed.
