Albino Buffalo in Bangladesh Spared from Sacrifice After Government Intervention

A rare albino buffalo in Bangladesh, nicknamed 'Donald Trump' for its distinctive blond tuft, has been saved from sacrifice during Eid al-Adha following a government intervention. The buffalo, weighing nearly 700 kg, had been sold for ritual slaughter when authorities stepped in due to security concerns and public interest. Home Minister Salahuddin Ahmed ordered the buffalo to be spared, refunded the buyer, and relocated the animal to the national zoo in Dhaka. The buffalo gained nationwide attention after videos of it went viral, attracting crowds to the farm where it was kept.

DHS Secretary Mullin Balances Deportation Mandate with Conciliatory Approach

Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin is navigating the complex task of fulfilling President Trump's deportation mandate while avoiding the pitfalls that led to his predecessor's removal. Mullin has scaled back controversial roving immigration patrols but continues to emphasize the administration's commitment to mass deportations. He has threatened to cut airport staffing in sanctuary cities, which has faced internal pushback. Mullin's actions reflect a balance between a drama-free approach to immigration enforcement and the expectations of MAGA hardliners. His leadership is marked by efforts to secure the border and manage immigration enforcement while maintaining a lower profile.
