ICE’s Union Thinks Donald Trump Doesn’t Know What He’s Doing on Immigration: “We had absolutely no input” on the administration’s ongoing strategy… or on who the new head of ICE should be… calling it “another broken promise” by the Trump administration.” What the union wants is more funding to detain and an end to “catch and release.”

Existing TPS for Yemenis extended:“In the fourth year of what the UN secretary general called the world’s worst humanitarian crisis, the Trump administration is once again demonstrating a disregard for basic humanitarian principles in its decision to merely extend Temporary Protected Status for some people from Yemen, but not allow recent arrivals to be covered by it.”

Gbong Gwom Jos on Peace and Conflict Resolution: First in a series re the Jos crisis, the author takes a look at the conflicts in the Plateau State of Nigeria, finding they cannot be divorced from the impact of colonial rule and tin mining.
