Would Americans support war against China? A new study reveals a divided public opinion—many favor military action if China attacks U.S. forces, but most prefer a reduced global footprint. Despite Trump's isolationist rhetoric, his administration maintains a hardline stance on China. The survey shows Republicans are more likely to support military retaliation, while Democrats remain cautious.

Georgetown researcher Badar Khan Suri was abducted by masked DHS agents who informed him that his visa had been revoked.
Now facing deportation under the same immigration law provision used against Mahmoud Khalil, Suri—an Indian national on a student visa and married to a U.S. citizen—has not been accused or charged with a crime.
His lawyer's petition to halt the deportation argues that the case hinges on his wife's alleged "ties with Hamas" and her past affiliation with Al Jazeera.
