Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Janine Herbst.
As the U.S. war in Iran enters its six months, a month rather, there are growing concerns in Congress over how it's going.
“This as the U.S. hasn't attacked Iran in two days.”
NPR's Maralias and has more. The war has been unpopular all along, but new polling last week shows that the war has become less popular even among voters who self-identify as MAGA as Trump's core supporters. There's a new political poll that showed the number of MAGA voters who want the order to continue dropped by 13 points since May.
And even though Trump said over a year ago, when he first bombed Iran, that Iran's nuclear enrichment facilities were, quote, "totally obliterated," he said at another point that
the war has been a, quote, "total and complete victory 100 percent."
The war is still going on, NPR's Maralias and reporting. The Trump administration is set to end the temporary legal status of hundreds of thousands of Haitians living in the U.S. The move, which could come as soon as tomorrow, could mean deportation. NPR's Adrian Felido reports many fear being sent back to a country full of violence.
“Last month, the Supreme Court allowed the administration to end temporary protected status”
for 350,000 Haitians and 6,000 Serians. TPS has allowed them to live and work in the U.S. because of dangerous conditions in their countries. The U.S. is ending TPS for Haitians despite acknowledging the dangers, much of Haiti is controlled by armed gangs.
Joseon Vel Saint got TPS in 2010, her 10 and 12-year-olds were born in San Diego and
sing in the church choir. "And it's painful to say that it's our country, but we can go back." Advocate to say if Congress doesn't intervene, tens of thousands of U.S. citizen children could be separated from their parents who'd rather leave them behind than risk their lives in Haiti.
Adrian Felido and Piano's. Israel's military continues to carry out mass raids in the occupied West Bank, arresting dozens of Palestinians.
“This comes after a deadly confrontation that left two Israelis and poor Palestinians dead.”
As empires Emily Feng reports, videos on Friday show Israeli settlers from an illegal settlement in the West Bank confronting residents in a Palestinian village sparking a gunfight. The Israeli army has sealed off the area and set up checkpoints. The Israeli advocacy group physicians for human rights says two Palestinian women were forced to give birth inside cars because of those checkpoints blocking roads to hospitals.
There have also been a wave of retaliatory attacks against more Palestinian villages. The mayor of the village of Kustra says a mosque there was set on fire and Hebrew slogans of revenge sprayed on its walls. In Israel, initial blanket outrage of the deaths of the two Israelis has turned into questions about why the settlers were in an area off limits to Israeli citizens.
