One Grand Deal for Self-Deportation
FIRST ON FOX: The Department of Homeland Security will front the cost of commercial flights and provide a $1,000 stipend to illegal aliens who opt to self-deport from the United States in a move DHS says will save thousands of dollars.
The department says this will be 70% cheaper for American taxpayers, as it currently costs DHS, on average, over $17,000 to arrest, detain, and deport someone. DHS told Fox News that paying for aliens to remove themselves, even with the stipend, is anticipated to cost only around $4,500 on average.
The stipend would not be paid until it was verified that an individual self-deported. Aliens will use the CBP Home self-deportation app to access this assistance, and DHS expects self-removals, already in the thousands, to ramp up significantly with this announcement…READ MORE

Man who burned Quran in London may get US asylum as case draws Trump administration attention

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
The Trump administration is weighing involvement in the case of a protester who was fined for burning a Quran outside the Turkish Consulate in London, as U.K. prosecutors look to reinstate his overturned conviction, according to reports.
Officials are said to be discussing granting 51-year-old Hamit Coskun refugee status if the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) wins its appeal, with a senior U.S. administration official telling The Telegraph the case is one of several «the administration has made note of.»
Coskun, of Armenian-Kurdish descent, had initially sought asylum in the U.K. from Turkey, where he says Islamic extremists «destroyed» his family’s life and where he was jailed for protesting Islamist governance.

On Feb. 13, 2025, he traveled to the Turkish Consulate in London and set fire to a copy of the Quran while shouting slogans including «Islam is [the] religion of terrorism» and «f— Islam.»
There he was attacked by Moussa Kadri, a passerby who chased him with a knife, kicked him and spat on him.
Kadri later received a suspended prison sentence after being convicted of assault and having a bladed article in a public place.
Initially charged with harassing the «religious institution of Islam,» Coskun’s case drew intervention from the National Secular Society and the Free Speech Union, who argued prosecutors were effectively reviving blasphemy laws already abolished in 2008.
MARCO RUBIO VOICES CONCERN THAT AMERICANS MAY SOMEDAY BE ARRESTED FOR SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS WHEN VISITING EUROPE
Coskun was convicted of a religiously aggravated public order offense and fined in June 2025.
That October, Coskun’s conviction was overturned when a judge ruled that while burning a Quran was «desperately upsetting and offensive» to many Muslims, the right to free expression «must include the right to express views that offend, shock or disturb.»
The CPS is now seeking to reverse that decision at London’s High Court, with Coskun telling The Telegraph that if the appeal goes against him, he may be forced «to flee» the country.

«For me, as the victim of Islamic terrorism, I cannot remain silent. I may be forced to flee the UK and move to the USA, where President Trump has stood for free speech and against Islamic extremism,» he told the outlet.
«If I have to do so, then, to me, the UK will have effectively fallen to Islamism and the speech codes that it wishes to impose on the non-Muslim world,» he added.
President Donald Trump and the U.S. administration have already criticized the U.K. and European governments over increased restrictions on expression.

El dictador Kim Jong-un inauguró un distrito de viviendas para las familias de soldados norcoreanos enviados a morir en la guerra de Putin

El régimen de Corea del Norte culminó la construcción de un nuevo distrito residencial en Pyongyang destinado a las familias de soldados norcoreanos que murieron combatiendo junto a Rusia en la guerra contra Ucrania.
La inauguración, presidida por el dictador Kim Jong-un, forma parte de una campaña para “glorificar” a quienes el régimen considera “mártires jóvenes” que “lo sacrificaron todo por la patria”.
Según imágenes difundidas por los medios de propaganda, Kim Jong-un recorrió el barrio bautizado como Saeppyol Street en compañía de su hija, Kim Ju Ae, y visitó algunas de las viviendas recién entregadas. Durante el acto, el líder norcoreano prometió recompensar a las familias de los caídos y elogió la “valentía sin igual” de los soldados que, bajo órdenes del régimen, viajaron miles de kilómetros para luchar en un conflicto ajeno.
Corea del Norte ha intensificado en los últimos meses la propaganda sobre la participación de sus tropas en la guerra de Ucrania, erigiendo memoriales y planificando la apertura de un museo dedicado a los muertos en combate.
Kim Jong-un insistió en que “el heroísmo y la bravura de los soldados del Ejército Popular de Corea, involucrados en operaciones militares en el extranjero, deben ser grabados en la historia como símbolo de invencibilidad”.
La presencia de contingentes norcoreanos en Ucrania se produce en el contexto de una alianza con el Kremlin y de un régimen que, aislado internacionalmente, ha encontrado en Moscú un socio clave para sortear sanciones y obtener tecnología y recursos. De acuerdo con estimaciones de la inteligencia surcoreana, alrededor de 6.000 soldados norcoreanos han resultado muertos o heridos durante su despliegue en territorio ucraniano. El balance de víctimas mortales supera las 600, aunque Pyongyang no ha ofrecido cifras oficiales ni reconoce bajas en su propaganda.
En paralelo al envío de tropas, Corea del Norte ha suministrado a Rusia artillería, misiles y sistemas de lanzacohetes de largo alcance, reforzando el poder de combate de las fuerzas de Vladimir Putin ante la resistencia ucraniana. A cambio, el régimen norcoreano ha recibido asistencia financiera, transferencia de tecnología militar, alimentos y energía, según fuentes diplomáticas y de inteligencia regional.
El homenaje a los soldados muertos y el otorgamiento de viviendas a sus familias son parte de una estrategia de control social y cohesión interna en un país donde la información está estrictamente censurada y los gestos de lealtad al régimen se premian públicamente. Analistas apuntan que el régimen norcoreano busca contener el descontento social ante el costo humano del envío masivo de combatientes a una guerra exterior y consolidar la imagen de Kim Jong-un como un líder fuerte y generoso ante la opinión pública norcoreana.
El nuevo barrio residencial se inaugura a pocos días de la apertura de un congreso clave del partido único, donde se prevén anuncios sobre los próximos objetivos políticos y económicos del régimen y posibles medidas de endurecimiento del control interno.
Estos gestos de reconocimiento a las familias de los caídos funcionan también como mensaje hacia la cúpula militar y la burocracia del partido, recordando que la fidelidad al líder y el sacrificio serán recompensados con visibilidad y privilegios estatales.
