Campaigners call for end of ‘robo-caseworkers’ amid fears officials will bow to automated enforcement proposals

A Home Office artificial intelligence tool which proposes enforcement action against adult and child migrants could make it too easy for officials to rubberstamp automated life-changing decisions, campaigners have said.

As new details of the AI-powered immigration enforcement system emerged, critics called it a “robo-caseworker” that could “encode injustices” because an algorithm is involved in shaping decisions, including returning people to their home countries.

Imagine how isolated in their trauma Arab-American voters must have felt to turn to Trump. But that’s what happened

I would be sceptical of post-election analyses in the wake of what is seen as a shock result. For both sides, voting patterns at this point are a sort of Rorschach test – people will see what they want to see. What I offer here is a mix of instinct and conjecture (what’s new, I hear you ask). But it is based on one specific factor that doesn’t come as a shock, and which was predicted to harm the Kamala Harris campaign. We can be certain that the Democrats lost voters because of Gaza. The numbers are stark. Another certainty is that those voters will still not be heard.

In Dearborn, Michigan, the largest majority Arab American city, Joe Biden won in 2020 with around 70% of the vote. Early stats indicate that Harris received something like 40% of the vote. As concerns over the war were raised loudly and specifically, Harris not only continued to ignore and isolate these voices, but also the campaign sent Bill Clinton out to shush them. Harris never even visited the city. But guess who did? That’s right, Donald Trump. And now he’s won in Dearborn and taken all of Michigan .

Immigration hardliner said last week that if Trump ‘needs help running a deportation operation, I am standing by’

US president-elect Donald Trump said on Sunday that Tom Homan, the former acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice), will be in charge of the country’s borders in his new administration.

Homan’s areas of control will include “the southern border, the northern border, all maritime, and aviation security”, Trump said in a post on his Truth Social platform. Trump added that “border czar” Homan will be in charge of the deportation of illegal immigrants .

• Cowboys go down to another heavy home defeat

Cooper Rush bounced passes to open receivers while filling in for the injured Dak Prescott, Ezekiel Elliott fumbled into the end zone for one of Dallas’ five turnovers, and owner Jerry Jones vented his frustration after another Cowboys loss.

The Cowboys (3-6) are still winless at home this season and have lost four in a row overall, the latest a 34-6 drubbing by NFC East rivals Philadelphia on Sunday. Dallas had only 146 total yards, their worst offensive performance at home since moving into AT&T Stadium 15 years ago.

US president is running out of time to deliver funds and weapons before a predicted foreign policy change by Trump administration

With little more than two months left in the White House, Joe Biden is running out of time to expedite the delivery of funds and weaponry needed to ensure Ukraine can stay in the fight against the Russian invasion.

The White House is transferring weapons and up to $6bn (£4.6bn) in remaining aid as quickly as possible to Ukraine while advocates for Kyiv are calling on the White House to repeal restrictions on long-range weaponry and find other sources of funding the war before Donald Trump enters office in January.

Party wants to amend government’s bill that would end tradition of hereditary peers to make reforms go further

The Liberal Democrats will attempt to hijack the government’s bill to ban Lords from inheriting their seats in parliament this week in an attempt to force a vote on an entirely elected upper chamber.

The government’s hereditary peers bill, which is heading for its committee stage on Tuesday and is likely to clear the House of Commons the same day, will put an end to the tradition and ban the the current 92 lords who inherited their titles from sitting in the second chamber.

Here are some of the phrases that are likely to crop up over the coming days in Baku

Cop29 will be the 29th conference of the parties to the UN framework convention on climate change (UNFCCC), the parent treaty to the 2015 Paris agreement. It takes place in Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan, on the shores of the Caspian Sea, where some of the world’s first ever oil wells were dug in the mid-19th century . Azerbaijan has a claim to be the world’s first petrostate, and is still dependent on oil and gas for 90% of its export revenues.
