Washington, November 4, 2025: A US court has halted the deportation of an Indian-origin man who spent 43 years in prison for a crime he did not commit, bringing temporary relief to him and his family. Recently exonerated, the man had been facing deportation proceedings due to his non-citizen status, despite being declared innocent and released. His legal team argued that deportation would be an “additional injustice” after decades of wrongful imprisonment and urged the court to consider humanitarian grounds.

The court’s decision allows time for a full review of his immigration status, with human rights groups calling for permanent residency and compensation. Supporters have highlighted the need for systemic reforms to prevent such miscarriages of justice and to support exonerees in rebuilding their lives. Advocacy organisations have also demanded that the US government apologise and provide financial relief, saying that freedom alone cannot compensate for 43 years lost to a wrongful conviction.

Washington, November 4, 2025: After 34 days of a partial US government shutdown, signs of a potential breakthrough emerged on Tuesday as Senate leaders expressed renewed optimism about reaching an agreement. Senior lawmakers from both parties indicated that productive discussions were underway, raising hopes that essential government services could soon resume normal operations. The prolonged shutdown has impacted federal workers, government agencies, and key public services, increasing pressure on Congress to finalise a deal.

Sources close to the negotiations revealed that both sides have shown flexibility on contentious funding issues, suggesting that a compromise may be within reach. Economists have warned that the shutdown has already caused significant financial strain, affecting millions of Americans and slowing economic activity. With rising public frustration, Senate leaders urged swift action, stating that ending the shutdown is crucial to restoring stability and public confidence in the government.

Washington, November 4, 2025: US security agencies successfully thwarted a planned Islamic State-inspired terror attack that was intended to take place during Halloween celebrations, officials confirmed on Tuesday. The suspect, who had reportedly pledged support to the terror outfit, was under surveillance after intelligence inputs indicated suspicious online activity and communication involving extremist content. Authorities acted swiftly, arresting the individual before the plot could be executed at a crowded Halloween event.

Investigators revealed that the accused had been radicalised through extremist propaganda on social media and was in the process of acquiring materials to carry out the attack. The timely intervention of the FBI and local law enforcement prevented what officials described as a “potential mass-casualty event.” Agencies have stepped up monitoring of online radicalisation networks, stressing the importance of early intelligence-sharing and public awareness to prevent such threats in the future.

New York, November 4, 2025: On the eve of the local polls, former US President Donald Trump targeted New York Assembly member Zohran Mamdani, labelling him a “complete, total failure” and accusing him of promoting “communist-style politics.” Speaking at a campaign event, Trump criticised Mamdani’s policies, claiming they have harmed the economic interests of New Yorkers and weakened public safety. He urged voters to reject leaders who, in his words, “destroy American values and freedoms.”

Trump’s remarks sparked sharp reactions from political observers, with Mamdani’s supporters calling the comments baseless and politically motivated. Mamdani, known for his progressive stance on housing, education, and social justice, has been a vocal critic of Trump and conservative leadership. Analysts believe Trump’s harsh attack was aimed at consolidating right-leaning voters and influencing last-minute public opinion before polling day.
