Kremlin hails preparedness after Kamchatka quakes leave no casualties

“Thank God, there were no victims,” said Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov during his daily press briefing.

The presidential representative stated that “all alert systems were activated in time, and evacuations were organized for residents in areas requiring it in response to tsunami threats.”

“Overall, the seismic resilience of the buildings proved effective (…) Therefore, we can say that the technological preparedness demonstrated a high level,” Peskov added.

U.S. launches ads urging undocumented migrants to self-deport via CBP Home App

The U.S. government announced Tuesday that it will begin airing television and online ads encouraging undocumented migrants to self-deport using the CBP Home app, while warning them about the risks of remaining in the country unlawfully.

“If you are an illegal alien, this runway is your future,” says Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem in one of the YouTube ads released by her department, as the screen shows a long line of people —allegedly undocumented migrants— waiting to board a plane for removal from the U.S.

To prevent such a scenario, the government urges migrants to download the CBP Home app, launched last March by the Trump administration to facilitate voluntary departure through a series of incentives that would otherwise be lost if they are arrested and deported by authorities.

“The CBP Home app gives foreign nationals the option to leave now and self-deport, so they still have the chance to return legally in the future and live the American dream,” Noem said in a statement issued by the U.S. government.
