At least 50 Venezuelan men sent to a prison in El Salvador by the Trump administration had entered the US legally, a new report by the Cato Institute found.

The report, released Monday by the libertarian think tank, looked at immigration data for only some of the men deported to El Salvador’s infamous Terrorism Confinement Center (Cecot), focusing on cases where records were available.

“The government calls them all ‘illegal aliens.’ But of the 90 cases where the method of crossing is known, 50 men report that they came legally to the United States, with advanced US government permission, at an official border crossing point,” Cato said in its report.

'Indian food, our pride': $200k settlement in Palak Paneer case a moral victory against racism in the west

Two Indian scholars won a $200,000 settlement in the US after facing racial discrimination over the smell of palak paneer in a university microwave. The case highlighted "olfactory racism" and institutional bias, with both scholars leaving their PhD program due to retaliation and loss of academic support. The university settled without admitting liability, granting degrees but barring the scholars from future association with the institution.
