U.S. Appeals Court Deals Major Blow to Trump’s Tariff Strategy

  U.S. President Donald Trump holds a chart next to U.S. Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick at the White House in Washington on April 2. A federal appeals court has ruled that most of former President Donald Trump’s sweeping tariffs are illegal, striking at the heart of one of his signature economic policies. In a 7-4 decision, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit found that Trump overstepped his authority under the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) when he imposed broad “reciprocal” tariffs on numerous countries, as well as targeted levies against China, Canada, and Mexico.

India Exposes Alleged Student Trafficking Network via Canadian Colleges


India has accused several Canadian colleges of being part of a widespread human trafficking network that illegally transports international students to the United States. The Enforcement Directorate of India revealed that their investigation uncovered evidence of incriminating activities involving two entities in Mumbai.

The probe was initiated following the tragic death of the Patel family near the Canada-U.S. border in January 2022. The investigation has since expanded, revealing that around 25,000 students were referred by one entity and over 10,000 by another to various colleges outside India annually.

Authorities claim that students, instead of attending Canadian colleges, were smuggled across the border and their admission fees were refunded. The network allegedly involves 1,700 agents in Gujarat and around 3,500 across India.

The case has drawn attention to the need for stricter regulations and oversight in international student admissions and visa processes.
