Seoul court orders North Korea to pay 44.6 billion won ($32.5 million) in damages over the 2020 demolition of the inter-Korean liaison office, marking the first judgment in the South Korea lawsuit. Separately, U.S. courts have ordered North Korea and Iran to pay about $487 million to American victims of terrorism, and another ruling holds North Korea liable for 650 billion won in damages related to Hamas's October 7 attacks.

DHS Outlays Estimated at $1.4 Trillion Since 9/11
Politics
— Sep 7, 2026
Twenty-five years after 9/11, the creation of the Department of Homeland Security and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence transformed U.S. security architecture, but observers question whether they deliver value beyond terrorism-focused aims as they incorporate border enforcement, cybersecurity, and disaster response into a growing budget. Spending has ballooned into the trillions since 2003, with DHS alone rising from about $31 billion to near $118 billion planned for 2027, and much of the outlay going to non-terrorism missions while the TSA reshaped aviation security.
