The United States Diversity Visa program is poised to welcome an increased number of Kenyan immigrants in the coming year. The US State Department has announced that 4,459 Kenyans will receive permanent visas under the DV-2025 Diversity Visa Lottery program, a notable rise from the previous year's 3,760 allocations. This program, established by the Immigration Act of 1990, aims to diversify the immigrant population in the United States by offering opportunities to individuals from countries with historically low immigration rates.

Donald Trump promised a massive deportation plan Thursday night, even larger than the biggest mass deportation in U.S. history: President Dwight Eisenhower’s racist-named “Operation Wetback.” The former president was doing his typical fearmongering, blaming immigrants for any and all of the country’s ills, when he decided to name-drop the thirty-fourth U.S. president. “And bad things are gonna happen, and you’re gonna see it happen all the time,” said Trump. “And that’s why the Republican platform promises to launch the biggest deportation operation in the history of our country. Even larger than that of Dwight D. Eisenhower, from many years ago.”Under...

When an election rolls around, most of us know what to do on voting day. With varying degrees of enthusiasm, we go to our closest polling place, give our details and cast our ballots. After a century of compulsory voting, it seems pretty straightforward.
