Trump, Race, and the Fear Facing Families

A renewed wave of fear is spreading across communities of color in the United States as critics accuse Donald Trump and his allies of pushing policies that target the most vulnerable. What once sounded like extreme rhetoric is now being described as a lived reality for many families. Central to the concern are reports that children from communities of color are being removed from homes where they had already been placed and then absorbed into systems with little public visibility. Families and advocates say children are taken without clear explanations, leaving relatives struggling to find answers about their whereabouts. Human rights groups warn that these actions mirror past practices widely condemned for racial bias and lack of accountability. They argue that the pattern suggests enforcement policies are not applied equally, creating fear in some communities while others remain untouched. Supporters […]

Trump moves to end US birthright citizenship, says it was for slaves’ children

US President Donald Trump has again defended his bid to end birthright citizenship, claiming the constitutional guarantee was meant for the children of enslaved people, not for wealthy immigrants or temporary visitors. He argued that the Citizenship Clause of the 14th Amendment, adopted after the Civil War, was designed for “the babies of slaves” and has since been “abused” by rich foreigners seeking US passports for their children.​ Trump signed an executive order on his first day back in office in January 2025, directing federal agencies to stop automatically recognising as citizens most children born in the US to non citizens. Under the order, babies born 30 days after his inauguration would no longer receive birthright citizenship if neither parent is a US citizen or permanent resident.​ Multiple federal courts quickly blocked the order, prompting a legal fight that has […]

Coalition faults push for Sharia law, cites breach of 1999 constitution

A coalition of civil rights and faith-based organisations has condemned renewed efforts to expand the implementation of Sharia law in Nigeria, describing it as a violation of the 1999 Constitution and a threat to national unity and human rights. The coalition, operating under the banner End Sharia Now, includes groups such as One Nation One Law, Global Network of Christian Faith and Truth, and Love a Muslim Ministry. In a statement signed by Benson Sunday on Wednesday, the coalition said attempts to institutionalise Sharia beyond personal faith practices contradict the Constitution’s secular foundation. Responding to comments from some Islamic scholars who argued that there was “no justification for opposing Sharia in Nigeria,” the coalition cited sections 10 and 42 of the 1999 Constitution, which prohibit the adoption of any state religion and guarantee equality of all citizens regardless of faith.

United States: Wave of Firings Targets Black Leaders in Key Federal Institutions

A series of high-profile dismissals in early 2025 has sparked widespread concern over declining diversity and representation in top U.S. government roles. The new administration, shortly after its inauguration in January, initiated sweeping changes that saw several prominent Black leaders removed from critical federal agencies and institutions. Among the earliest was Gwen Wilcox, the first Black woman to chair the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), who was dismissed and replaced by Marvin E. Kaplan, a Republican appointee. The decision marked a sharp political and ideological shift in labor policy direction. In February, General C.Q. Brown Jr., the second Black Joint Chiefs of Staff in U.S. history, was also removed from office. He was replaced by retired Air Force Lieutenant General Dan Kaine, who lacked prior four-star general experience. To qualify for the role, Kaine received a presidential waiver and an […]

Wake Up Texas: Time to Defend Democracy Now

Texas stands at a critical crossroads. The Republican Party, aligned with Donald Trump, has chosen power over principles, threatening the very foundations of American democracy. From unethical redistricting to undermining the rule of law, their actions are not mere politics—they are attacks on Texan values, rights, and futures. The time for complacency is over. Texans and Americans everywhere must rise up, unite, and demand accountability before it is too late. Recent events prove one thing: many Texas politicians have abandoned their duty to serve the people. Instead, they march in lockstep with Trump’s agenda, prioritizing party loyalty over justice, power over democracy, and control over community needs. This betrayal has real consequences: silenced voices, manipulated elections, and weakened trust in democratic institutions. This is more than politics. It’s a fight for the soul of our democracy. Texans must act now—not […]

Trump administration asks Supreme Court to let it enforce ban on transgender service members for now

The Trump administration on Thursday asked the Supreme Court to let it begin enforcing a ban on transgender service members, escalating a fight over a controversial policy that has faced numerous legal setbacks in recent weeks. The emergency appeal thrusts the high court into another politically charged dispute over a key aspect of Trump’s agenda. It comes as the justices have increasingly been pressed by the administration to unlock various parts of his agenda that have been held up by lower courts reviewing the legality of the initiatives. The military ban was announced by Trump earlier this year and would have taken effect late last month, but several lower courts issued rulings against it before it could be implemented. In the case at hand, a federal judge in Washington state decided that the policy likely violated the constitutional rights of a number […]
