A federal judge says a Columbia University student activist's legal challenge of his detention by the U.S. government will be heard in New Jersey rather than New York or Louisiana. Judge Jesse Furman on Wednesday ordered the switch to New Jersey to occur immediately for the claims brought by Mahmoud Khalil, a leader of pro-Palestinian demonstrations at Columbia. The judge said the case belongs in New Jersey because Khalil was in a detention facility there when the lawsuit was filed. U.S. officials had asked that it be moved to Louisiana, where Khalil is now detained. The judge called it an "exceptional case" in need of "careful judicial review."

Impeached South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol has sent a message to conservative supporters rallying outside his Seoul residence, vowing to "fight to the end" against "anti-state forces." His legal team warned on Thursday that police officers attempting to detain him could face arrest by his presidential security service or even civilians. Yoon's statement came as the Corruption Investigation Office for High-Ranking Officials prepares to execute a detainment warrant against him that was issued by a Seoul court. The warrant was issued after Yoon evaded multiple requests to appear for questioning and blocked searches of his office, hindering an investigation into whether his short-lived power grab on Dec. 3 amounted to rebellion.
The Israeli army has ordered a mass evacuation of Palestinians from much of Gaza's second largest city, Khan Younis. Monday's order is a sign that Israeli troops could soon return to the southern city. It's also an indication that Hamas has regrouped there. Israel wrapped up an offensive in Khan Younis earlier this year and withdrew most of its forces. Israel has said it is in the final stages of an offensive in the nearby Gaza city of Rafah. The new evacuation zone includes the major aid crossing to southern Gaza, along with an aid route inside the territory that Israel has said it would safeguard.
