U.S. sets record with more than two million migrants taken into custody

Published

on

According to a government report, the number of illegal migrant arrivals have hit an all-time high

Everyone from border agents to politicians to human rights activists have been sounding the alarm that there is a humanitarian crisis at America’s southern border.

Illegal migrant encounters at the southern border were at an all-time low during the Trump administration—with former President Donald Trump making it a campaign promise to have law and order.

However, under President Joe Biden’s leadership, he put Vice President Kamala Harris in charge of securing America’s southern border—effectively dubbing her the “border czar.”

Recently, V.P. Harris continues to claim that the border is closed.

But, according to a government report, the number of migrant arrivals reported along the U.S.-Mexico border in fiscal year 2022 surpassed 2 million in August, hitting an all-time high.

On Tuesday at the White House President Biden was pressed repeatedly by journalists about the ongoing crisis

President Biden said it was “not rational” to send migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border back to nations like Venezuela, Cuba, and Nicaragua.

When a reporter asked Biden why the border is “more overwhelmed on your watch”—he responded, “There are fewer and fewer immigrants coming from Central America than from Mexico. It’s a totally different circumstance.”

Republicans are blaming Democratic leaders like V.P. Harris who was put in-charge of securing the border of ignoring this on-going crisis.

TikTok implements stricter guidelines on weight-loss drug promotion

Published

on

TikTok is tightening its regulations on influencers who promote weight-loss drugs like Ozempic.

With over 170 million users in the US, the app aims to prevent the spread of potentially harmful content related to rapid weight loss.

Starting in May, TikTok will prohibit influencers from posting “before-and-after” photos and restrict minors from accessing weight-loss content deemed risky. The crackdown extends to any content promoting drastic weight loss methods, aiming to combat the promotion of unrealistic body standards.

However, some influencers, like Dave Knapp and Kim Carlos, criticise the move, arguing it discriminates against those with health conditions. Others fear losing their income as TikTok takes down their content, prompting concerns about the platform’s future amid potential US bans.

As TikTok enforces stricter guidelines, influencers may seek alternative platforms to share weight-loss content. Despite the popularity of drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy, the crackdown reflects growing concerns about the impact of such promotions on user health.
