[Gateway] In yet another blow to immigration law enforcement, the Supreme Court today ruled 5—4 in Monsalvo Velázquez v. Bondi that illegal aliens granted voluntary departure under federal immigration law can remain in the United States past their court-ordered departure deadline—if that deadline happens to fall on a weekend or legal holiday.
Justice Neil Gorsuch authored the majority opinion, joined by Justices Roberts, Sotomayor, Kagan, and Jackson, effectively rewriting the meaning of a "60-day" voluntary departure period to accommodate the convenience of deportable individuals, not the rule of law.
At the center of the case was Hugo Monsalvo Velázquez, a Mexican national who entered the U.S. illegally nearly two decades ago and was ordered to leave within 60 days.
His departure deadline fell on a Saturday, but instead of leaving, he filed a motion to reopen his case on the following Monday.
[NYPOST] A sicko with 19 prior arrests was busted in the heinous attempted rape of a 70-year-old woman in The Bronx — after local vigilantes beat him so badly that he ended up in the hospital, according to cops and residents.
Good. And nobody saw nuttin, I imagine.
Oswaldo Ramos, 50, approached the senior from behind at Creston Avenue and East 184th Street in Fordham Heights around 1 p.m. Friday before attempting to sexually assault her, police said.
Surveillance video released by the NYPD shows the perv scrambling to put his pants on after the attack.
The next day, vigilante neighbors spotted the wanted man nearby after apparently recognizing him from the released footage and took matters into their own hands, roughing him up to the point that he needed medical care, law-enforcement sources told NBC 4 New York.
An anonymous caller told detectives later that day that the crew of locals meted out street justice on the alleged sex fiend at Tiebout Avenue and East 187th Street, according to the network.

[Regnum] The crater of the Klyuchevskoy volcano in Kamchatka, which has begun to erupt, is filling with hot lava. This was reported on April 22 by the press service of the regional Ministry of Emergency Situations.
The department noted that the thermal anomaly in the volcano's summit crater was first recorded on March 30, then on April 4 and 9. Glow in the volcano's crater was first noted on April 20.
“The following night, frequent glowing was observed at night, which indicates the gradual filling of the crater with hot lava, generating Strombolian activity,” the Ministry of Emergency Situations said in a statement on the Telegam channel.
Scientists who have assessed the danger of the volcano believe that increased activity in the summit crater, the outpouring of lava onto the slope of the volcano, and ash emissions to a height of up to 1 km are possible.
Experts warn the population and tourists against visiting the Klyuchevskoy volcano area. There are currently no officially registered groups there.
[Mail] The stock market is rallying as the White House talks up the potential for trade deals with over 100 countries that could settle escalating tariff wars.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 2 percent Tuesday afternoon, about the same about as the broader S&P 500, after Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told investors about the potential to lower the temperature with China.
'No one thinks the current status quo is sustainable,' he said. President Trump slapped tariffs totaling 145 percent on the world's Number Two economic power, and China has hit back with a 125% tariff on U.S. products.
[BREITBART] Chevron on Monday announced a massive project, kicking off oil and natural gas production from the Ballymore subsea tieback in the Gulf of America, which is expected to produce upwards of 75,000 gross barrels of oil daily — another major move towards energy independence and dominance for the United States of America.
Ballymore — located in the Mississippi Canyon area — has been described as a ''subsea tieback,'' meaning the discovery can be leveraged by an existing platform, using three wells tied to the already-standing Chevron-operated Blind Faith facility.
A fact sheet provided to Breitbart News notes that this is far more efficient, as the project leverages ''standardized equipment, repeatable engineering solutions, and existing transportation infrastructure.''
Along with the reality that Chevron strives to maintain ''one of the lowest carbon intensity oil and natural gas basins in the world,'' this will help Chevron with its goal of producing 300,000 net barrels of oil per day in the Gulf of America alone by 2026. If achieved, this would be a 50 percent increase from 2024 and position the country for one of its prime goals of reaching energy dominance in a growing and more demanding world.
As it stands, oil from the Gulf of America accounts for one out of every six barrels of domestic oil production. They estimate that Ballymore will be able to recover 150 million barrels of oil equivalent gross over the span of the project.
[GEO.TV] Mohammad Rizwan-led Multan ...Home of the Multan Sultans... Sultans grabbed their first victory in the Pakistain Super League (PSL) 10 by defeating the Lahore Qalandars in the 12th match of the tournament played at the Multan Cricket Stadium on Tuesday.
Chasing a daunting 229-run target, the visitors could only accumulate 195/9 in their allotted overs despite Sikandar Raza's half-century.
The Qalandars got off to a decent start to the pursuit with openers Mohammad Naeem and Fakhar Zaman putting together a brisk 38-run stand.
The blazing start was soon hindered as Naeem fell victim to Michael Bracewell in the fourth over after scoring a run-a-ball 11.

[GEO.TV] Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Sunday formally launched a seven-day nationwide anti-polio ...Poliomyelitis is a disease caused by infection with the poliovirus. Between 1840 and the 1950s, polio was a worldwide epidemic. Since the development of polio vaccines the disease has been largely wiped out in the civilized world. However, since the vaccine is known to make Moslem pee-pees shrink and renders females sterile, bookish, and unsubmissive it is not widely used by the turban and automatic weapons set. Currently the disease is only found in Pakistain and Afghanistain... campaign by administering polio drops to children.
Speaking at the inaugural ceremony of the campaign, PM Shehbaz said that the government, along with health authorities, was making tireless efforts to eliminate the virus once and for all.
"Today marks the beginning of another nationwide polio campaign. With Allah's grace, we are vaccinating children not only here, but across the country including Gilgit-Baltistan and Azad Kashmir ...a disputed territory lying between India and Pakistain. After partition, the Paks grabbed half of it and call it Azad (Free) Kashmir. The remainder they refer to as "Indian Occupied Kashmir". They have fought four wars with India over it, the score currently 4-0 in New Delhi's favor. After 72 years of this nonsense, India cut the Gordian knot in 2019, removing the area's special status, breaking off Ladakh as a separate state, and allowing people from other areas to settle (or in the case of the Pandits, to resettle) there.... ," he added.
He praised the efforts of the Ministry of Health, including Federal Health Minister Kara Mustafa Kamal, Dr Malik Mukhtar Ahmed Bharath, the Secretary, Coordinator, and frontline health workers for their dedication.
[FoxNews] Found at the site were 317 skeletons and 83 brick burial vaults
Hundreds of skeletons were recently uncovered by archaeologists while they were excavating a British university's property – the discovery a complete surprise.
Surprising to the archaeologists, no doubt. Local church historians can probably name many of those buried there and related their tales, if only the academics had bothered to ask.
The skeletons, along with an ancient church, were found on the school's City Campus property, which was acquired by the university in 2021. The University of Gloucestershire announced the discovery in an April 11 press release.
The City Campus property, which formerly housed a department store, is expected to open this year.
The university commissioned the archaeological organization Cotswold Archaeology to excavate the location – and it was in this area that the medieval church was found.
The ruined structure was identified as St. Aldate’s Church, which was demolished in the mid-1650s. It dated back to the Middle Ages.
The excavators found "limestone and brick foundations, along with around 83 brick-lined burial vaults both within the church itself and in the associated burial ground," according to the press release.
"Approximately 150 post-medieval burials, not contained in burial vaults, were identified in the courtyard," the statement continued.
"Deeper excavations revealed approximately 170 earlier burials, the majority of which are provisionally thought to relate to the medieval church."
In total, 317 skeletons and 83 brick burial vaults were uncovered and carefully excavated.
The discovery came as a complete shock to archaeologists, who were unaware of the church or its burial ground. The vaults were cleared in the 1950s to make way for the area where the former Debenhams department store was built.
"A new parish church, on or near the site of the medieval precursor, was constructed in the mid-18th century," Cotswold Archaeology acting principal manager Steve Sheldon said in a statement.
"The latter survived until the early 1960s when it was demolished to make way for the department store."
The discovery came as a complete shock to archaeologists, who were unaware of the church or its burial ground.
"Although the footprint of the medieval church was not identified during the current archaeological works, the identification of a limestone wall with surviving lime plaster most probably represents part of the earlier church."
Though the analysis of the human remains is in the early states, archaeologists have already been able to glean some information about historical health practices – such as the impact of increased sugar consumption in the 16th century.
"For example, on a very basic level, the impact of increased sugar in the diet during the 16th century was visibly clear in terms of dental health," the university said in a statement.
"The full results of these studies will be published in due course."
The latest dig represents one of many Cotswold Archaeology discoveries in the past year.
Last July, the organization announced it had discovered "24 identifiable skeletons" under a hotel, dating back as early as 670 A.D.
Beijing has asked South Korean companies to cease exporting products containing Chinese-originated heavy rare earth metals to U.S. defense firms, warning that Seoul could face sanctions.
China’s Ministry of Commerce sent official notices to at least two South Korean companies recently, the Korea Economic Daily reported on Tuesday, citing sources in the South Korean transformer industry.
The outlet said the letters did not specify what type of penalties South Korean companies could face if the industry continues to export equipment to the U.S. military or its contractors. The equipment in question can include power transformers, displays, batteries, electric vehicles, aerospace and medical equipment.
While the move is intended to retaliate against President Donald Trump’s sweeping tariffs on China, Beijing may start blocking sales of critical metals altogether, disrupting the global economy.
