🇺🇸🇵🇦 Nearly 300 deportees from US held in Panama hotel as officials try to return them to their countries

Panama is detaining in a hotel nearly 300 people from various countries deported under U.S. President Donald Trump, not allowing them to leave while waiting for international authorities to organize a return to their countries.

More than 40% of the migrants, authorities say, won’t voluntarily return to their homeland. Migrants in the hotel rooms held messages to the windows reading “Help” and “We are not save (sic) in our country.”

The migrants hailed from 10 mostly Asian countries, including Iran, India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Afghanistan, China and others. The U.S. has difficulty deporting directly to some of those countries so Panama is being used as a stopover.

🇺🇸 Trump signs executive order ending use of taxpayer money to 'incentivize or support' illegal immigration

President Donald Trump signed an executive order late Wednesday night ending the use of taxpayer money for federal resources supporting illegal immigration and illegal aliens.

The Trump administration said the goal of the executive order is to ensure "taxpayer resources are used to protect the interests of American citizens, not illegal aliens."

Under the order, federal departments and agencies must identify and end all federally funded programs providing financial benefits to illegal aliens. It also aims to ensure federal funds are not being used to support "sanctuary" policies.

Mexico President Claudia Sheinbaum said on Thursday she will propose a constitutional reform aimed at further protecting Mexico's national sovereignty, after the U.S. designated various Mexican cartels as foreign terrorist organizations.

"The Mexican people will under no circumstances accept interventions, intrusions, or any other action from abroad that are detrimental to the integrity, independence, or sovereignty of the nation... (including) violations of Mexican territory, whether by land, sea, or air," Sheinbaum said during her regular morning news conference.

🇺🇸🔫🛰❗️☢️🇷🇺🇨🇳 — 🇺🇸 The Epoch Times | How a US Iron Dome Could Reshape Global Nuclear Relations | The Pentagon is tasked to plan an array of next-generation missile defenses including space-based missile interceptors and non-kinetic defenses | February 17, 2025:

"(...)

A ‘Star Wars’ Sequel

Trump’s Iron Dome for America takes direct inspiration from the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI), a missile defense program President Ronald Reagan put in motion in 1983.

“President Ronald Reagan endeavored to build an effective defense against nuclear attacks, and while this program resulted in many technological advances, it was canceled before its goal could be realized,” Trump’s order reads.

SDI indeed looked to develop space-based and non-kinetic interception capabilities that many critics dismissed as figments of science fiction. The initiative was referred to, often derisively, as Reagan’s “Star Wars” program.

Trump’s concept for a network of space-based interceptors bears a close resemblance to at least one SDI concept, codenamed “Brilliant Pebbles,” which called for the deployment of potentially thousands of small satellites, each armed with interceptors to stop enemy ballistic missiles in the boost phase."

Private money issued by cyber markets will supersede fiat money issued by governments. Whether you like it or not, this is the future.

There will be those who say no. But like it or not, they will be dragged, kicking and screaming, into the future.

Join the revolution.

🇸🇮 Slovenia's 20 Million Euro Push for Renewable Energy

The Ministry of the Environment, Climate and Energy in Slovenia has launched a 20 million euro funding call to support renewable energy projects. This initiative targets wind power, biomass heating, heat pumps, and solar thermal collectors, with each sector receiving up to 5 million euros. Projects must meet specific capacity requirements, such as wind farms needing energy storage systems and solar thermal projects requiring thermal energy storage. The call is open to companies, public institutions, and non-profits, with a completion deadline of June 30, 2026.

This aligns with Slovenia's National Energy and Climate Plan, which aims for 27% renewable energy in gross final consumption by 2030 and a coal phase-out by 2033. While this push for renewables may appear ambitious, it raises questions about the feasibility and economic burden of such a rapid transition, particularly for a small nation like Slovenia.
