Trump's Immigration speakings fueling hate crime - UN


The committee stated that it was extremely concerned about the language as well as the spread of damaging stereotypes that target immigrants.

President Donald Trump's rhetoric on immigration, along with increased enforcement, is fueling human rights breaches and may instigate hate crimes, according to an official warning from a United Nations-backed group. 

In a landmark decision, the independent experts called on the United States to examine its human rights policy and adhere to international law. 

But it goes on to say that depicting immigrants, refugees, and asylum seekers "as criminals or a burden by politicians and influential public figures at the highest level of the state may incite racial discrimination and hate crimes." 

The White House first rejected the study, labeling it "biased" and "useless."

The BBC reports that the panel expressed "deep concern" about an increase in racist sentiment, especially the use of disparaging and degrading language that depicts refugees, migrants, and asylum seekers as burdens or criminals. 

Additionally, Trump's remarks against immigration have drawn harsh criticism. For example, in December, he stated that Somali immigrants should return to their home country and that the US might make a mistake by allowing harmful things into our nation.

Rihanna responds to a gun attack at her house with significant action


On March 8, an AR-15 weapon fired multiple shots into the pop star's Los Angeles property.

Following gunfires at her home, Rihanna is reportedly stepping up protection for herself and her family. Ten gunshots were reportedly fired at Rihanna's house on March 8, shocking her and her family.

Ivanna Ortiz, a 35-year-old woman, was  taken into custody by the authorities on suspicion of shooting an assault weapon at the residence.

 Radaronline.com reported that Rihanna left her Los Angeles residence with her family and began examining her security plans "from an ultra-secure location." The Diamonds artist's relocation was likened by a source to the Crime thriller The Godfather Part II.

 According to the source, "The aftermath was like those scenes from Godfather II when Michael Corleone's house is riddled with bullets, and he flies into a rage before moving his family away."

"After the initial shock subsided, Rihanna became enraged. The bullets may have hit her family, and she is now examining their security plans from an extremely secure area."

 It is worth noting that Rihanna and her partner ASAP Rocky have three children: RZA (three), Riot (two), and Rocki (six months). Days before the attack, the alleged shooter sent a threatening message to Rihanna through her social media account.
