Pakistan rescue, Iran outreach and China defence updates mark global day

A range of international developments were reported on Tuesday, from rescue efforts in Pakistan and diplomatic outreach to Iran to fresh military footage from China and legal action in the United States over tariffs and citizenship cases. In separate developments, drone strikes by Russia and Ukraine killed at least five people in each country, while India's Ambassador to the US Vinay Mohan Kwatra met Georgia Governor Brian Kemp to discuss trade and investment. China also said it had developed the world's first tunnel boring-and-blasting machine for mountainous terrain. In Pakistan, rescue teams searched on foot to locate the remains of the last two members of a 10-member expedition group buried in a deadly avalanche last week. Officials said adverse weather conditions prevented helicopters from joining the operation. Pakistan also stepped up its diplomatic engagement with Iran. Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar invited his Iranian counterpart Abbas Araghchi to Islamabad "at the earliest" for discussions amid renewed US-Iran tensions. In Beijing, China said it had developed the world's first tunnel boring-and-blasting machine, describing it as a new class of equipment designed to deal with the challenges of tunnelling through complex geologies in mountainous terrain. In a separate case, authorities said an Indian-origin man was among 25 people whose US citizenship is being revoked for alleged crimes ranging from falsifying identity to attempted murder and child sexual abuse. Overall, the day saw parallel developments spanning rescue operations, diplomacy, defence, trade, immigration enforcement and the continuing war between Russia and Ukraine.

US federal judge blocks New York’s ban on ICE officers wearing masks

Judge puts hold on mask ban while allowing state law prohibiting cooperation between police and ICE (immigration enforcement agency) to stand A New York law banning US Immigration and Customs Enforcement ( ICE ) agents from wearing face coverings and requiring that they wear visible identification has been put on hold by a federal judge. But a state law prohibiting cooperation between local police departments and ICE has been allowed to stand. The mask ruling comes after federal judges have blocked similar laws in California, Virginia and Pennsylvania that sought to ban federal immigration agents from covering their faces. US district judge Mae D’Agostino of the federal court in Albany, New York , wrote that while the state “appears to be well-intentioned in its pursuit of transparent policing”, her decision was made on constitutional arguments rather than “transparency or preferable policy decisions”. D’Agostino said that New York officials “may be correct that federal immigration officers wearing masks and not displaying viable identification creates certain dangerous situations that the face covering and identification acts remedy”. The preliminary ruling means local police officers are blocked from arresting ICE agents for covering their faces in public settings. “The United States has demonstrated a likelihood that it will succeed on its claim that [New York’s] face covering and identification acts directly regulate federal officers in violation of the supremacy clause,” D’Agostino wrote. “Whether federal law enforcement agencies have chosen to carry out such operations in a sufficiently transparent manner is an important question. But that question is not for this court to answer at the present time.” New York’s governor, Kathy Hochul , a Democrat, signed the restrictions known as the “New York mask law” in late May in response to federal immigration enforcement tactics during Donald Trump’s second presidency. James Percival, a general counsel for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS (Dept. of Homeland Security)) that oversees immigration enforcement agencies, reacted to D’Agostino’s ruling by saying on X that Democratic-led states “continue to stack losses as they try to pass unconstitutional bans on ICE officers wearing masks”. Hochul and New York’s attorney general, Letitia James, said the ruling allowing the 287(g) ban to remain in effect shows the law “is legal and will keep our communities safe”. “Local law enforcement should be focused on local matters, and New York taxpayers should not have to foot the bill for any collaboration with ICE,” they said in a joint statement. “While the court enjoined enforcement of New York’s mask ban, we stand firm in our belief that masked agents do not make New York safer.” The statement alluded to the New York government’s ability to appeal D’Agostino’s ruling, saying: “Our offices are reviewing all legal options at this time.” ICE cooperation has become a campaign issue in Hochul’s bid for re-election in November. She is facing Bruce Blakeman, a Nassau county executive, who supports ICE tactics and opposes the prohibition of cooperation with the agency.
