US State Department revokes 6,000 student visas
WASHINGTON — The State Department has revoked more than 6,000 international student visas because of violations of US law and overstays.The agency said the "vast majority" of the violations were assault, driving under the influence (DUI), burglary and "support for terrorism".The move comes as the Trump administration continues its crackdown on immigration and international students.While the State Department did not specify what they meant by "support for terrorism", the Trump administration has targeted some students who have protested in support of Palestine, arguing they had expressed antisemitic behaviour.Of the 6,000 student visas that were revoked, the State Department said about 4,000 of those were revoked because visitors broke the law.Another...

PORT OF SPAIN — Augustine Ogbo works as a doctor, treating patients in clinics across the striking Caribbean island of St Lucia.When he returns to his home in the coastal town of Rodney Bay, he clocks in for his second job — as the owner and solo chef of a Nigerian takeaway."Egusi soup and fufu, that's more popular... they love jollof rice too," Dr Ogbo says, reeling off a list of his customers' favourite dishes.The 29-year-old hails from Nigeria — population 230 million — but crossed the Atlantic for St Lucia — population 180,000 — to train as a doctor in 2016.He set up his home-based takeaway, named Africana Chops, in 2022, after being incessantly asked by his St Lucian friends for Nigerian fare.The takeaway is now thriving, Dr Ogbo tells the BBC, and not...

Bolivia set to elect first non-left wing president in two decades

Appeals court backs Trump's foreign aid freeze, triggering global concerns
WASHINGTON — A US Court of Appeals ruled on Wednesday that the Trump administration can suspend or terminate billions of dollars of congressionally appropriated funding for foreign aid, seven months after the US president's executive order triggered a global crisis in the humanitarian aid sector.A divided panel of appeals court judges concluded that grant recipients challenging the freeze did not meet the requirements for a preliminary injunction restoring the flow of funds.The ruling clears any controversy surrounding the issue for US President Donald Trump, who, on the first day of his second term in the White House, issued an executive order directing the US State Department and the US Agency for International Development (USAID) to freeze spending on foreign aid.After groups of...
