U.S. Strikes Against Venezuela: Trump "Wants the Oil" as Grassroots Resist "Economic Asphyxiation"
As the Trump administration escalates its military campaign against Venezuela, we speak to Venezuelan journalist Andreína Chávez about the latest developments. Responding to the U.S. military's drone strikes on small boats and seizures of oil tankers off the coast of Venezuela, Chávez says U.S. claims of pursuing fentanyl traffickers lack evidence and are "pretext" for an attempt "to asphyxiate the Venezuelan economy" and wrest control of the country's state-owned oil reserves. In the face of U.S. aggression, says Chávez, "Venezuelan communes and Venezuelan popular organizations in general have responded to Trump's claims that he owns the Venezuelan oil with a very strong response, saying that they're going to defend sovereignty, that they're going to defend Venezuela's self-determination."

Trump Set to Garnish Wages for Student Loan Defaults; The Debt Collective Lays Out Other Options
Starting in January, the Trump administration says it will garnish the wages of student loan borrowers who haven't been able to make their payments for at least nine months. "It's cruel and hostile to working people to turn the system on before we're sure that we can run it in a compliant manner," says Julia Barnard, higher education team lead at the Debt Collective and former student loan ombudsman at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. To student debtors facing financial hardship, Barnard suggests "immediately [contesting] when they get a notice of wage seizure." She lays out what is at stake, options for those facing default, and more.

"Whatever Israel Wants": Trump Backs Netanyahu's "Colonial" Wars in Gaza, Iran & Beyond
We speak to journalists Gideon Levy and Rami Khouri about President Trump's meeting Monday with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu at Mar-a-Lago, where Trump supported Israel's threats to launch new attacks on Iran and warned Hamas to disarm during the second stage of the U.S.-brokered ceasefire agreement. Khouri, a Palestinian American journalist, called the meeting a "continuation of the American-Israeli drive, that's been going on for some years now, to reconfigure the Middle East … into a new colonial arrangement, whereby the U.S. and Israel dominate what goes on in the region." Levy, Israeli journalist for Haaretz, called the meeting an "embarrassment," noting that "Donald Trump presents himself as someone who promises the sky, who has no demands from Israel whatsoever."

"Watched, Tracked & Targeted": Gaza Writer Mohammed Mhawish on Life Under Israeli Surveillance
Award-winning Palestinian reporter Mohammed Mhawish, who left Gaza last year, joins us to discuss his new piece for New York magazine about Israel's surveillance practices. It describes how Palestinians throughout the genocide in Gaza have been watched, tracked and often killed by Israeli forces who have access to their most intimate details, including phone and text records, social relations, drone footage, biometric data and artificial intelligence tools.

This all-encompassing surveillance system is "reshaping how people speak, how they're moving, how they're even thinking," says Mhawish. "It manufactured behavior for people, so they shrink their lives to reduce risk, they rehearse what version of themselves feels safest to present, and that creates an enormous psychological burden."

Mhawish also describes the terror of when his family's house was bombed, killing two of his cousins and two neighbors in an attack he says was linked to Israeli surveillance of his reporting activities. "I was being watched and tracked," he says.

For First Time, DHS to Supplement H-2B Cap with Additional Visas in First Half of Fiscal Year
—The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Department of Labor (DOL) today announced the forthcoming publication of a joint temporary final rule to make available an additional 20,000 H-2B temporary nonagricultural worker visas for fiscal year (FY) 2022.  These visas will be set aside for U.S. employers seeking to employ additional workers on or before March 31, 2022.

This supplemental cap marks the first time that DHS is making additional H-2B visas available in the first half of the fiscal year.  Earlier this year, USCIS received enough petitions for returning workers to reach the additional 22,000 H-2B visas made available under the FY 2021 H-2B supplemental visa temporary final rule. 

The supplemental H-2B visa allocation consists of 13,500 visas available to returning workers who received an H-2B visa, or were otherwise granted H-2B status, during one of the last three fiscal years.  The remaining 6,500 visas, which are exempt from the returning worker requirement, are reserved for nationals of Haiti and the Northern Triangle countries of Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador.

"At a time of record job growth, additional H-2B visas will help to fuel our Nation's historic economic recovery,"   "DHS is taking action to protect American businesses and create opportunities that will expand lawful pathways to the United States for workers from the Northern Triangle countries and Haiti.  In the coming months, DHS will seek to implement policies that will make the H-2B program even more responsive to the needs of our economy, while protecting the rights of both U.S. and noncitizen workers."

DHS intends to issue a separate notice of proposed rulemaking that will modernize and reform the H-2B program.  The proposed rule will incorporate program efficiencies and protect against the exploitation of H-2B workers.

The H-2B program permits employers to temporarily hire noncitizens to perfo
