The Trump administration plans to revoke certain non-immigrant visas held by foreign nationals who have applied for asylum or are currently seeking asylum in the United States.

The State Department said Monday that it is working with the Department of Homeland Security to identify people who entered the country as temporary visitors but later filed asylum applications. Officials said the goal is to revoke their visitor visas.

The department did not provide an estimate of how many visas could be affected. However, the Associated Press reported that the number could reach 200,000, based on State Department documents and information from two U.S. officials. If carried out at that scale it could become the largest mass visa revocation in U.S. history.

The reported policy would affect B1 and B2 visas issued between 2016 and 2026 to people who have sought asylum. B1 visas are generally used for business travel while B2 visas cover tourism and other temporary visits.

Visa cancellation would not automatically mean immediate deportation. According to the AP report many people with pending asylum cases could remain in the United States while their cases are processed but they would no longer hold their previous business or tourism visitor status.

Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau said Monday that the U.S. immigration system has been overwhelmed by what he described as frivolous asylum claims.

The State Department previously announced that more than 175,000 visas had been revoked under the Trump administration.

The planned visa action is part of President Donald Trump’s broader immigration enforcement campaign which includes visa and green-card cancellations and an expanded deportation effort. The administration says these measures are intended to strengthen national security and enforce U.S. immigration laws.

Civil rights and immigrant advocacy groups have criticized the broader crackdown arguing that some government actions threaten due process and free-speech protections. They have also raised concerns about racial profiling and the treatment of minority communities.

Trump campaigned in 2024 on promises to reduce illegal immigration. Since returning to office, his administration has also introduced measures affecting legal immigration, including higher costs for some employment-based visa programs. Several immigration policies have faced legal challenges in U.S. courts.

    Trinasolar eyes Pakistan’s battery storage boom

    ByJustpaste.in

    Pakistan has built one of the world’s fastest-growing distributed solar markets. According to recent research by Ember and Renewables First, it is estimated that Pakistan has approximately 38GW of distributed solar capacity across residential, commercial, industrial and agricultural sectors. As this installed solar base grows, the next challenge is making that energy more flexible and available when businesses need it most. Trina Storage, Trinasolar’s global battery energy storage business, says Pakistan’s expanding solar base is increasing interest in solar-plus-storage, particularly for utility-scale and microgrids for commercial & industrial (C&I). A Renewables First report estimates that Pakistan imported 4.6 GWh of BESS in 2025, representing 220% year-on-year growth. Rather than replacing existing solar assets, well-designed solar-plus-storage systems can help businesses optimize renewable energy use, improve operational flexibility and support more resilient energy management strategies, depending on each site’s design and operating requirements. However, adding BESS to an existing solar installation is not a simple plug-and-play exercise. Projects require careful assessment of the site’s electrical architecture, inverter configuration, demand profile, equipment compatibility, energy management system, safety requirements and commercial objectives. For many retrofit projects, an AC-coupled approach provides a practical solution by allowing battery storage to operate alongside an existing PV system through its own Power Conversion System (PCS), helping retain much of the original solar infrastructure. Compatibility must still be assessed at system level, including electrical interfaces, communications, controls and compliance with the applicable IEC and UL standards. Designed for utility-scale and C&I applications, Trina Storage’s Elementa Series is compatible and is designed for integration within solar-plus-storage systems using Trina or third-party equipment, with compatibility assessed according to the project architecture. Beyond supplying technology, Trinasolar can work with customers and EPC partners to assess system compatibility, determine the most suitable BESS configuration and develop an operating strategy aligned with each site’s technical and commercial requirements. Trinasolar’s energy storage expertise builds on its long-established presence in Pakistan’s solar market, where the company has supplied more than 500MW of 700W+ modules across commercial, industrial and residential applications and recently introduced the Vertex N G3 760W series. Globally, Trina Storage, established in 2015, has achieved BloombergNEF Tier 1 Energy Storage Manufacturer status for 10 consecutive quarters and is expected to surpass 30 GWh of cumulative shipments by the first half of 2026. Its latest 6.25MWh Elementa 3 platform combines advanced battery technology, intelligent thermal management and integrated safety features for large-scale energy storage applications. “Pakistan has already built a strong solar foundation. The next phase is to consider how battery storage can be integrated with those assets to make renewable electricity available across a wider range of operating conditions. That requires careful assessment of the existing equipment, the site’s load profile and the role the battery is expected to perform. Trinasolar’s PV experience and Trina Storage’s global BESS capabilities give us a useful perspective across both sides of that system,” said Edison Zhou, Head of Pakistan, Trinasolar.

    Delhi court orders removal of objectionable content about Tabu

    ByJustpaste.in

    NEW DELHI: Bollywood actress Tabu has received relief from the Delhi High Court in a personality rights case, with the court directing several websites and online platforms to remove content deemed objectionable by the actress. According to Indian media reports, Tabu had approached the court, arguing that the material available on various websites and digital platforms violated her personality rights and was defamatory and obscene. Justice Jyoti Singh, while hearing the petition represented by senior advocate Swati Sukumar, directed multiple social media platforms, e-commerce listings and websites to remove the allegedly objectionable content. Various scenes from Tabu’s films were also discussed during the hearing. Tabu’s lawyer told the court that certain video clips were being promoted using search terms that portrayed the actress in an inappropriate manner. Some scenes, the lawyer said, had been slowed down or given altered titles to create a sexualised impression. Sukumar argued that the repeated appearance of such material through new accounts and posts made the issue more serious than an ordinary copyright or content infringement dispute. During the hearing, counsel representing an online platform referred to another personality rights case being heard by the court on the same day. The lawyer suggested that personality rights proceedings could sometimes be used to seek removal of allegedly defamatory material. The court observed that the legal questions raised in Tabu’s case could have wider implications beyond the present matter. Justice Jyoti Singh said that highly harmful material may require a mechanism capable of preventing such content from appearing online in the first place. The court also examined the safeguards currently used by online platforms, including automated content detection systems, in-app complaint mechanisms and grievance redressal procedures under the Information Technology Rules. Justice Singh observed that the key challenge was not simply the formulation or implementation of policy, but the creation of an effective system capable of preventing objectionable material from being uploaded at the initial stage. The court said an amicus curiae would be appointed to assist it in examining the broader legal questions involved in the case. The proceedings will also identify related legal issues that may require detailed consideration at a later stage. The court further indicated that it would consider developing a standard operating procedure (SOP) for dealing with similar cases involving harmful or objectionable online content.

    India’s Supreme Court protects student protesters as government moves to tighten exam leak laws

    ByJustpaste.in

    India’s Supreme Court has directed authorities not to take any coercive action against student protesters involved in recent demonstrations over examination paper leaks. The court also ordered the immediate release of all detained protesters who are under the age of 18 and instructed officials to preserve surveillance footage and digital records linked to the protests as allegations of police brutality continue to be examined. According to Indian media reports, Chief Justice Surya Kant issued the interim directions while hearing petitions filed by students and rights activists. The petitions accused police and paramilitary forces of using excessive force, including pellet guns, against demonstrators during weeks of protests in New Delhi and several other cities. The court stressed that all available evidence, including drone recordings, body camera footage and CCTV videos, must be secured to ensure a fair investigation. It also ordered that the personal and digital data of protesters should remain protected and must not be made public. The Chief Justice said any investigation into the allegations would be meaningless if responsibility was not fixed for those found guilty of misconduct. He emphasized the need for an independent and impartial inquiry into claims that innocent protesters were subjected to unnecessary violence during the demonstrations. The Indian government has maintained that police acted within the law while controlling large crowds. Solicitor General Tushar Mehta told the court that although complaints of attacks on students deserved serious attention, nearly 250 police personnel were also injured during the protests. He said the government had no objection to an independent investigation into the incidents. At the same time, the government has introduced proposed amendments aimed at imposing much tougher punishments for examination paper leaks. The bill, presented in parliament during the ongoing monsoon session, seeks to increase the maximum prison sentence for those involved in leaking examination papers from five years to ten years. It also proposes fines of more than one million dollars and faster court proceedings to deal with such cases. Senior minister Jitendra Singh said the amendments demonstrate the government’s commitment to protecting students and restoring confidence in the country’s examination system. He told lawmakers the proposed changes are intended to strengthen existing laws and ensure swift justice so that the credibility of national examinations can be rebuilt. The issue has dominated parliament since lawmakers returned for the monsoon session last week. Opposition parties have repeatedly disrupted proceedings while demanding accountability for the police response to the student movement and pressing the government to address concerns over the handling of the exam leak crisis. The nationwide protests began after question papers for a national medical college entrance examination were leaked, sparking anger among students who believed the integrity of the examination process had been compromised. The demonstrations ended on Saturday after Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan resigned and the government accepted key demands from protest leaders. These included reforms to the examination system, the withdrawal of police cases against protesters and compensation for families of students who reportedly died by suicide following the scandal. Clashes between protesters and security forces were reported in several cities during the demonstrations. In New Delhi, police used tear gas and baton charges to stop protesters attempting to march toward parliament. Authorities also suspended a police officer in eastern India after he fired warning shots into the air while trying to disperse protesters. The protests have also sparked concerns over the government’s use of advanced surveillance technology. Activists questioned the deployment of AI powered mobile surveillance vehicles after images shared online appeared to show police using high mounted cameras capable of monitoring crowds from every direction. Meanwhile, the student group leading the movement claimed that hundreds of protesters remain in custody across different states despite earlier commitments made by the government.

    ByJustpaste.in

    Indian actress Mrunal Thakur has reacted to dating rumors linking her with cricketer Yashasvi Jaiswal, calling the speculation baseless after a video of the two leaving the same café in Mumbai went viral on social media. The rumors involving Mrunal Thakur and Jaiswal gained attention after the pair were reportedly seen leaving a café in Mumbai’s Bandra West area. A video showing the two in the same location quickly circulated online, prompting social media users to speculate about a possible relationship. Mrunal, however, appeared to reject the claims through a comment on the social media account that shared the video. She questioned how people could treat such speculation as fact simply because the two had been seen at the same place. The actress also appeared frustrated by the attention surrounding the rumor and suggested that there were more important issues deserving public attention. She encouraged content creators to focus on more meaningful topics rather than relationship speculation. Although the original comment is reportedly no longer visible under the video, a screenshot of Mrunal’s alleged response has continued circulating on social media. The Mrunal Thakur Yashasvi Jaiswal dating rumors are not the first time the actress has been linked romantically with another celebrity. In 2025, speculation also connected Mrunal with South Indian actor Dhanush after the two were seen interacting warmly at the premiere of Son of Sardaar 2. Following their interaction, social media users speculated that Dhanush had attended the screening specifically to support Mrunal. Later reports even claimed that the two could marry in 2026. However, neither actor publicly confirmed those reports, while sources close to Mrunal reportedly dismissed claims that she was preparing to marry. Mrunal began her entertainment career on television before moving into films. She appeared in television projects including Mujhse Kuchh Kehti…Yeh Khamoshiyaan and Kumkum Bhagya, before making her Bollywood film debut with Love Sonia in 2018. She has since established herself in both Hindi and Telugu cinema and has appeared in several high-profile projects. Mrunal was most recently seen in Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai, alongside Varun Dhawan and Pooja Hegde. Her upcoming projects reportedly include Pooja Meri Jaan and the Telugu film Raka. For now, the actress’s response makes clear that the latest romance claims involving Jaiswal remain unconfirmed speculation, rather than an established relationship.

    Tom Cruise reportedly heartbroken after Suri drops his surname

    ByJustpaste.in

    Hollywood star Tom Cruise is reportedly struggling with an emotional family milestone after his daughter Suri Cruise chose to adopt the surname Noelle, a move that has fuelled fresh discussion about the father-daughter relationship. According to reports, Suri, whom Cruise shares with ex-wife Katie Holmes, has registered as a voter in Pennsylvania under the name Suri Noelle, following her move from New York. The decision marks another step away from using her father’s surname and has reportedly left the actor deeply affected. Sources close to the Mission: Impossible star told Radar that while Cruise respects his daughter’s right to make her own choices as an adult, the change has been emotionally difficult for him. “Tom is deeply saddened by this development. While he understands Suri is an adult making her own decisions, seeing his surname disappear from her legal identity has been incredibly painful for him. He never imagined things would reach this point,” an insider told the outlet. The source added that those around Cruise view the situation as an emotional setback rather than a legal issue. “Those close to Tom believe this is an emotional blow rather than a legal one. He still cares enormously about Suri and hopes that, one day, there will be an opportunity to rebuild their relationship.” The insider further claimed, “Right now, though, friends say he feels heartbroken and devastated by what this represents.” Cruise and Holmes welcomed Suri in April 2006, during one of Hollywood’s most closely watched relationships. The couple married later that year before Holmes filed for divorce in 2012. Since then, Suri has primarily lived with her mother, and reports have frequently suggested that she has had little public contact with Cruise over the years. According to the report, Suri’s decision to use Noelle is believed to be a tribute to her mother. The name, which means “Birthday of the Lord,” also reportedly symbolises a fresh chapter in her life as she continues her education and establishes her own identity away from the intense public attention surrounding her famous parents. Sources said Suri’s decision reflects a desire to move forward independently rather than remain defined by her family’s celebrity status. Choosing a different surname reportedly allows her to begin adulthood on her own terms while maintaining a close bond with Holmes. Neither Cruise nor Holmes has publicly commented on the reports regarding Suri’s voter registration or surname choice. Likewise, Suri herself has not issued any public statement explaining the decision. The reported development has nevertheless attracted widespread attention because of the long-speculated distance between Cruise and his daughter. While insiders maintain that the actor continues to care deeply about Suri, they say the latest change has been particularly painful because it symbolises how far apart their lives have grown. Despite the emotional impact, the source insisted that Cruise has not given up hope of reconnecting with his daughter in the future. For now, however, those close to the actor say he remains saddened by the decision and hopeful that time may eventually provide an opportunity for reconciliation.
