By Alastair McCready and News Agencies The US State Department has announced it is "immediately" pausing issuing visas for individuals travelling on Afghan passports to protect "public safety", as President Donald Trump administration's immigration crackdown intensifies in the wake of a deadly attack on two National Guard members. The announcement on Friday came as United States immigration authorities said they are also halting decisions on all asylum applications for the foreseeable future. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio confirmed in a post on X on Friday that the State Department had "paused visa issuance for ALL individuals traveling on Afghan passports". The move comes after authorities named Afghan national Rahmanaullah Lakanwal as the main suspect in Wednesday's shooting in Washington, DC, which…...

1+ min ago (955+ words) The Trump administration is promising an even tougher anti-immigration agenda after an Afghan national was charged this week in the shooting of two National Guard members, with new restrictions targeting the tens of thousands of Afghans resettled in the U.S. and those seeking to come, many of whom served alongside American soldiers in the two-decade war. The suspected shooter, who worked with the CIA during the Afghanistan War, "was vetted both before he landed, probably once he landed, once he applied for asylum," said Andrew Selee, president of the Migration Policy Institute. "But more importantly, he was almost certainly vetted extensively and much more by the CIA." Haris Tarin, a former U.S. official who worked on the Biden-era program that resettled Afghans, predicted that "as the investigation unfolds, you will see that this is not a failure of screening. This is a…...

1+ min ago (407+ words) During No. 3 Texas A&M's game against No. 16 Texas, Marcel Reed was able to achieve an impressive feat, the fastest Aggie quarterback to do so since Johnny Manziel. Reed has picked up 5,000 career passing yards and 1,000 career rushing yards in his redshirt sophomore season. After being named the starting quarterback midway through the 2024 football season, Reed has been excellent for the Aggies. When the Aggies were down 17-7 against LSU last season, Mike Elko decided to go with Reed for the second half, and he absolutely lit up Kyle Field with a three-touchdown performance, all rushing. Since then, he has been the starting quarterback for A&M, although that is when they began to struggle, as they lost four of their next five games. Throughout the offseason, Reed has said that he worked on his passing game tremendously, and we have…...

1+ min ago (791+ words) ASSOCIATED PRESS A Haas avocado pit is suspended over a glass of water by toothpicks on Long Island, N.Y., in mid-November. So, you want to grow an avocado tree from seed? It's not only a fun off-season activity, especially for kids, but it's also very easy. Just know that since avocados are tropical plants, they won't survive winters outdoors in colder climates. Still, it's possible to grow avocado plants indoors. They likely won't produce fruit, but they make lovely houseplants. When I was growing up, it wasn't uncommon for there to be a pit of some sort partially submerged in a glass of water, suspended by toothpicks, on a windowsill. Peaches, mangos, avocados " I tried them all. As an adult, I view the project as a way to create free plants rather than as a science experiment, but it's still fun…...
