Nobel Peace laureate Navi Pillay urged the United States to defend human rights and return to what she called its traditional role as a global leader.

Pillay made her comments in The Hague, where she is a judge at the International Court of Justice.

The United States announced sanctions targeting the International Criminal Court hours after Pillay was named the Peace Prize winner.

She said the timing was troubling and showed that efforts to target international criminal justice had been developing for some time.

Federal agents searched the Washington home of Ilhan Omar, a Democratic member of Congress from Minnesota.

The Justice Department said the search was carried out under a court-authorised warrant as part of an ongoing criminal investigation, but did not name Omar or explain the investigation.

News reports linked the search to a fraud inquiry about immigration paperwork filed by Omar’s late father when she was a child; officials have not confirmed that link.

Omar, who came to the United States from Somalia as a child, said the search was an attempt to target political opponents.

A fire reached native vegetation at Fazenda Iporanga, a farm owned by Terra Santa in Nova Maringá, Mato Grosso.

The affected area is a legal reserve, not land currently leased for farming.

The company linked the increased fire risk to dry conditions, the effects of El Niño and forecasts for below-average rain.

Terra Santa said it detected the fire through satellite monitoring and called in firefighters, a specialist team and equipment to help contain it.

A new AP-NORC poll found most Americans think Trump is profiting from the presidency in unethical or illegal ways.

Musgraves replied on X: “I don’t think you have a dog in this fight but if you did you would have shot it.”
