The Trump administration is withholding tens of millions of dollars from nine Planned Parenthood state affiliates that provide contraceptives and other vital reproductive healthcare, predominantly to low-income and people of color.

The providers received notices this week stating their Title X funding was being temporarily retained due to "possible violations" of Trump's policies against diversity, equity and inclusion, or DEI, efforts.

The Department of Health and Human Services has given the providers, which operate dozens of clinics nationwide, including in Indiana and Kentucky, 10 days to comply with Trump's demands to eliminate DEI initiatives.

In a letter, HHS pointed to mission statements and other public documents that highlight the clinics' "commitment to Black communities" as supposed evidence of their noncompliance.

The Palestine Red Crescent Society has recovered the bodies of 15 emergency workers including eight medics with the Red Crescent who were killed when Israeli forces opened fire on their vehicles near Rafah last week.

“I am heartbroken,” said Internation Federation of Red Cross Societies Secretary General Jangan Chapagain. “These dedicated ambulance workers were responding to wounded people. They were humanitarians. They wore emblems that should have protected them; their ambulances were clearly marked. They should have returned to their families; they did not.”

It was the single most deadly attack on Red Cross or Red Crescent workers in the world since 2017.

Seventeen-year-old Palestinian Walid Khaled Abdullah Ahmad has died in an Israeli prison. His family said he suffered from scabies and dysentery while locked up in Israel’s notorious Megiddo Prison, known for its abuse of Palestinian prisoners.

Walid Khaled Abdullah Ahmad, who was from the occupied West Bank town of Silwad, had been jailed since September 2024. He is at least the 63rd prisoner to die in Israeli custody since October 2023.

A 21-year-old Columbia University student has filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration, which is seeking to deport her for participating in Palestinian rights protests on campus.

Yunseo Chung is a legal permanent resident from South Korea who has lived in the U.S. since she was 7 years old. Federal immigration agents searched Chung’s university housing earlier this month as they attempted to arrest her.

The Trump administration is targeting Chung under a rarely used provision of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952, which gives the secretary of state authority to begin deportation proceedings against any noncitizen deemed a threat to U.S. foreign policy interests — even permanent legal residents like Chung and Mahmoud Khalil, who was detained by federal agents from his Columbia housing earlier this month.
