`Leaders on all sides of the Iran war have used religion to justify their actions. U.S. officials, especially Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, have invoked their Christian faith to cast the war as a Christian nation trying to vanquish its foes with military might.
Russia's Orthodox Church, too, has justified Russia's invasion of Ukraine as a "holy war" against a Western world it considers has fallen into evil.`

"Two deputies in the Weber County Sheriff’s Office have the authority to arrest people for their immigration status. That’s because the agency partners with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement through the Task Force Model of the 287(g) program, which gives deputies the power to enforce immigration laws once they’ve gone through some ICE training."
