Japan’s government has withdrawn a controversial immigration bill after facing mounting criticism.

Debate over the bill, was sparked by the death of a Sri Lankan young woman held in an immigration detention facility.

The actual bill would have made it easier to deport failed asylum seekers and given more power to immigration authorities.

While the government proposed the bill,,, lawyers and activists say it went against international norms.

Japan currently has a significantly lower rate of accepting asylum seekers than any other developed country.

Noem calls for expanding U.S. travel ban amid security concerns following a deadly shooting, citing risks from additional countries.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is calling for a major expansion of the U.S. travel ban, arguing that more countries are sending dangerous migrants into the United States. Her proposal would widen the list from 19 to as many as 30 nations, although the exact countries have not been named.

The push follows a deadly shooting in Washington that killed a young Army specialist and left another critically injured. Noem says the attack highlights growing national security gaps.

The conversation is now shifting to how the U.S. evaluates travel risks and the broader political consequences.
