The United States continues to be a primary destination for immigrants worldwide, with its immigrant population surpassing that of several major countries combined. In 2022, 1,018,340 individuals were granted permanent residency in the US, reflecting the nation's enduring appeal as a land of opportunity. Kenya, though not among the top contributors to US immigration, plays a notable role in the broader immigration landscape. Many Kenyans seek opportunities in the United States through various channels, with the Diversity Visa (DV) program being a significant avenue. In 2022, 5,014 Kenyans received green cards and ranked number 37 out of 126. This program, established by the Immigration Act of 1990, aims to diversify the US immigrant population by offering up to 55,000 immigrant visas annually through a random selection process.

Fourteen years ago, Kenya adopted its current constitution. The constitution has vastly reorganised and fragmented governmental power and entrenched limits on its exercise. The culmination of a quarter-century of struggle, and forged in the aftermath of the 2008 post-election violence, the document has steered the country through three disputed presidential elections (including a historic nullification in 2017) and empowered the citizenry to make unprecedented demands on their rulers, as demonstrated in the recent Gen Z protests.

 Yvette Cooper is facing backlash over plans to reopen two troubled detention centres as part of a crackdown on immigration. On Wednesday, the home secretary announced a series of measures aimed at tackling illegal migration and improving border security, including a pledge to return the number of failed asylum seekers sent back to their home countries to 2018 levels over the next six months, meaning more than 14,000 deportations by the end of the year. However, the 14,000 figure is far lower than the 45,000 returned in 2010 under the former Labour government and less than the 19,000 migrants...

This year’s area of low oxygen in the Gulf of Mexico is larger than average, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) announced on Thursday. The “dead zone” is approximately 6,705 square miles , as measured last week. Within NOAA’s 38 years of measuring the dead zone, this year’s assessment marks the 12th-largest area of low to no oxygen, which can kill fish and marine life.

A bill quietly introduced this spring in the Colorado legislature to decriminalize the possession of drug paraphernalia obtained by harm reductionists has become law. As low-key as the legislation was introduced, the bill was signed into law without fanfare June 6. It garnered little to no media attention.
