Roughly 25,000 striking dockworkers at ports along the East and Gulf Coasts of the U.S. are rallying for higher pay and stronger guardrails against their jobs being automated out of existence.
Members of the International Longshoremen's Association (ILA), a union representing the dockworkers, walked off the job Tuesday for the first time in nearly 50 years as they push for "the kind of wages we deserve," ILA President Harold Daggett said in a social media post on Tuesday.
Those wages, union officials argue, should factor in the torrid inflation that eroded dockworkers' paychecks under their now lapsed labor contract with the United States Maritime Alliance (USMX), which represents ports and ocean carriers. As the industry profits, longshore workers "continue to be crippled by inflation due to USMX's unfair wage packages," the ILA said in a statement.

The Trump administration issued sanctions on four individuals serving as judges of the International Criminal Court, citing the court's "politicization and abuse of power," after one ruling authorizing an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and another targeting the actions of U.S. personnel in Afghanistan.

A top Immigration and Customs Enforcement official on Thursday detailed what she said were deplorable and unsafe conditions faced by ICE staff and a group of migrants with criminal records who were transferred to a U.S. military base in the African country of Djibouti after a federal judge blocked officials from deporting them to South Sudan.
