(The Center Square) – U.S. Rep. Andy Biggs, R-Arizona, blasted U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Director Ur Jaddou for her agency approving illegal border crossers as sponsors for illegal border crossers. At a U.S. House Judiciary subcommittee hearing , Biggs also pointed out that the sponsors were found to be committing Social Security and other fraud under her watch. Biggs addressed rampant fraud in a program created by Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas for inadmissible citizens of Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela, who don’t qualify for admission into the U.S. Under Mayorkas, they were flown into the country through a CHNV parole program, used a CBP One phone app to apply for entry, and were released into the country. Part of the process requires having a “supporter” fill out an application on behalf of the CHNV parolee. While Mayorkas claimed app user parolees and supporters were thoroughly vetted, multiple Office of Inspector General reports disproved this claim, expressing security risks at airports. In August, flights of CHNV illegal border crossers were temporarily suspended after a USCIS internal review found that tens of thousands of CHNV fraudulent applications were processed. Supporters used fake Social Security numbers and phone numbers and listed the same physical address on nearly 20,000 applications, according to the report, The Center Square reported . Biggs asked Jaddou if she disputed the fact that supporters used the same Social Security Number on CHNV applications, which “happened at least 3,200 times. The same phone number used at least 3,300 times. The same supporter email address was used on applications nearly 2,000 times.” Jaddou said she didn’t have the report in front of her and didn’t dispute it. “You don’t really want to admit there’s this much rampant fraud,” he said. Biggs next cited examples of fraud that weren’t fixed. “The same exact 184-word response was used on more than 1,800 applications by nearly 194 CHNV supporters,” he said. “More than 460 nonexistent zip codes were used on supported applications on behalf of more than 2,800 CHV aliens. You can dance around and say you don't have the report in front of you, but these are the facts. This program is rife with fraud.” As of Aug. 6, DHS had approved more than 80,000 CHNV supporters for the program who were in the U.S. on a temporary basis. USCIS approved 224 CHNV parolees who were already in the country illegally as sponsors for CHNV parolees that came after them, meaning illegal foreign nationals were sponsoring illegal foreign nationals. USCIS also approved 28,322 illegal foreign nationals shielded from deportation through Temporary Protected Status as CHVN supporters; “19,865 SLEs approved as CHNV supporters, 311 DACA recipients approved as CHNV supporters, 1,300-plus aliens in the U.S. on temporary visas approved as CHNV supporters, 64 refugees approved as CHNV supporters, 19,112 conditional permanent residents approved this season as CHNV supporters,” he said. “That is the program that you are administering. I'm not talking the aliens. I'm not getting into the violation of law of the U.S. code 1182, which states that the use of parole is supposed to be a case-by-case basis.” Biggs said the supporter application process was so rampant with fraud that it was temporarily shut down but wasn’t fixed. The fraud is “still ongoing. We're waiting for the next report to confirm that these things are still going on,” he said. In addition to the USCIS report, a U.S. House Committee on Homeland Security investigation found that "as of mid-October 2023, there were 1.6 million inadmissible aliens awaiting travel authorizations through the CHNV program” and DHS was using 50 airports worldwide to fly them in, The Center Square reported . None flown into the country have a legal basis to enter the U.S. before being paroled through the CHNV program, DHS documents the committee obtained state. "All individuals paroled into the United States are, by definition, inadmissible, including those paroled under the CHNV processes," one of the DHS documents states. The CHNV parole program was among more than a dozen that House Republicans identified as illegal and cited as reasons to impeach Mayorkas. According to the latest U.S. Customs and Border Protection data , more than 852,000 illegal foreign nationals were processed and released into the country through the CBP One App and more than 531,000 Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans deemed inadmissible were released into the country through the CHNV parole program, as of October. Under the Biden administration, more than three million illegal border crossers were reported from CHNV countries, The Center Square reported . Many have been directly linked to violent crimes committed against Americans, The Center Square reported .In conclusion, the upcoming release of "Nezha 2" on Chinese New Year's Day heralds the triumphant return of the iconic character to the silver screen.

Opeke made this known at the 2024 Women in Successful Careers (WISCAR) annual leadership and mentoring conference held in Lagos. Speaking on the theme; “Fueling Resilience: Empowering Diversity for Economic Success”, Opeke said Nigeria’s human capacity, natural resources and grit can help it thrive despite the economic challenges. “When I think of the current challenges in our economy, I know from the experience of having economic fortunes that we do have the human capital, the natural resources, the intellect, the drive, capacity, indeed, the grit, for this country to thrive,” she said. The WISCAR “Distinguished Award Recipient” 2024 said though Nigeria’s economic challenges bites hard on people’s businesses and lives, it is part of success journey in life. “No one achieves great success without challenges along the way, and we know times are hard here in Nigeria because even though the statistics suggest improved economic growth, the increasing poverty we see around us is powerful. Read also: Funke Opeke, MainOne founder, resigns, becomes advisor “Businesses are shrinking and neither expanding nor hiring; we have many of our compatriots who continue to leave or ‘japa’ in search of greener pastures, there’re a lot of inherent prospects in Nigeria,” she noted. She explained that the numerous challenges in the country, such as pre-industrialisation with power, transportation, security and digital transformation unlike the advanced countries where economies are driven by artificial intelligence, there is hope if citizens remain resilient, diversified and focused. “The improbable is not always a straight road, but with resilience, all that great improbable can be done; and as Nelson Mandela said, it always seems impossible until it is done. “So when I think of resilience, I think of a few situations I had along the way building Main One which may have caused me to turn back. If you’re in business and you’re in this audience today, you have to be very good at the basics. Focus on your customers and business fundamentals to weather the storm,” she counseled. Besides, she said; “While we hope, as Nigerians that the brighter future would be upon us now, it is clear with our noble greed attitude, our large youth population, growing gender diversity in business, and indeed the tech sector, increased access to information and educational opportunities that someday our nation will be able to provide improved opportunities for all the citizens to grow and thrive.” Amina Oyagbola, the founder of WISCAR in her address said the organisation has deepened its advocacy efforts, forging strategic partnerships focused on women’s leadership and the implementation of the Women Economic Empowerment Policy, Nigeria’s current premier framework for advancing women’s economic participation. “We have continued to refine our work in alignment with our vision: to develop women to build a better nation, and our revised mission: to elevate women into leadership roles through structured mentorship, career development, and advocacy, driving gender-equitable policies across public, private, and development sectors,” she said. Oyagbola regrets that, even as the 30th anniversary of the Beijing Declaration in 2025 is fast approaching, the realities for women and girls in Nigeria remain bleak. “Nigeria’s ranking on the World Economic Forum’s Gender Gap Index is poor, ranking in the top 10 percent of countries with the highest gender discrimination on the OECD’s Social Institutions and Gender Index. These indicators highlight enduring systemic challenges such as discriminatory family codes, restricted access to resources, and limited civil liberties for women. “Although a signatory to international conventions such as the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW), implementation within Nigeria remains utterly inadequate,” she noted. Beatrice Eyong, the UN Women Country Representative to Nigeria and ECOWAS in her goodwill message said, women have consistently demonstrated remarkable resilience, excelling as caregivers, professionals, entrepreneurs, and leaders; despite facing unique challenges. “Women-led businesses often stand out in economic hardship for their resourcefulness, creativity, and effective risk management. However, the structural barriers that hinder women’s full participation in the economy must be addressed to unlock their potential fully,” she said. Recognising this need, she explained that the National Women Economic Empowerment (WEE) Policy and Action Plan 2023 was developed. “This policy aims to create an enabling environment to mitigate these challenges and advance women’s economic inclusion. Its key targets include increasing women’s labour force participation to 65 percent, expanding their role in agriculture to 30 percent, and ensuring women occupy 25 percent of board seats and 30 percent of senior management positions in companies listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange. Additionally, the policy seeks to enhance Nigeria’s ranking on the Global Gender Gap Index, boost women’s financial inclusion to 75 percent, and achieve a 75 percent enrollment rate for girls in secondary education,” she said. One of the highlights of the event was the Grace Alele-Williams Award 2024 given to Dolapo Agbede, a physical challenged successful career woman for her resilience. Some dignitaries at the conference include Olufolake Abdulrazaq, the first lady of Kwara State; Ahmed Gobir, president of CIPM; Esosa Balogun representing MTN, Nigeria; and Rachel Adeshina, chief information officer at First Bank. WISCAR is a non-profit organisation dedicated to empowering and developing the next generation of women in professions and careers, preparing them for leadership.
The German government pledged Sunday to fully investigate whether there were security lapses before the Christmas market car-ramming attack that killed five people and injured over 200. Political pressure has built on the question of potential missed warnings about Saudi suspect Taleb al-Abdulmohsen, a 50-year-old psychiatrist who had made online deaths threats and previously had trouble with the law. Interior Minister Nancy Faeser and the heads of Germany's domestic and foreign intelligence services are due to answer questions at parliamentary committee hearings on December 30, a senior lawmaker told AFP. Faeser vowed Sunday that "no stone will be left unturned" in shedding light on what information had been available to security services ahead of last Friday's bloody attack in the eastern city of Magdeburg. She stressed that the attacker did "not fit any previous pattern" because "he acted like an Islamist terrorist although ideologically he was clearly an enemy of Islam". Abdulmohsen has in the past called himself a "Saudi atheist" who helped women flee Gulf countries and charged Germany was doing too little to help them. In online posts, he also strongly criticised Germany for allowing in too many Muslim refugees and backed far-right conspiracy theories about the "Islamisation" of Europe. In one post, he wrote: "Is there a path to justice in Germany without blowing up a German embassy or randomly slaughtering German citizens?... If anyone knows it, please let me know." News magazine Der Spiegel, citing security sources, said the Saudi secret service had warned Germany's spy agency BND a year ago about a tweet in which Abdulmohsen threatened Germany would pay a "price" for how it treated Saudi refugees. Die Welt daily reported, also citing security sources, that German state and federal police had carried out a "risk assessment" on Abdulmohsen last year but concluded that he posed "no specific danger". - 'Blood and screams' - The city of Magdeburg has been in deep mourning over the mass carnage on Friday evening, when an SUV smashed through a crowd at its Christmas market, killing four women and a nine-year-old child and injuring 205 people. Surgeons at overwhelmed hospitals have worked around the clock, and one health worker told local media of "blood on the floor everywhere, people screaming, lots of painkillers being administered". Scholz on Saturday condemned the "terrible, insane" attack and made a call for national unity, at a time Germany is headed for early elections on February 23. But as German media dug into Abdulmohsen's past, and investigators gave away little, criticism rained down from opposition parties. Conservative CDU lawmaker Alexander Throm charged that "many citizens feel... that the Scholz government has completely failed in terms of internal security". He demanded greater police powers to monitor and analyse data from social media platforms, telecommunications and surveillance cameras with facial recognition technology. The far-right AfD called for a special session of parliament, and the head of the far-left BSW party, Sahra Wagenknecht, demanded that Faeser explain "why so many tips and warnings were ignored beforehand". Mass-circulation daily Bild asked: "Why did our police and intelligence services do nothing, even though they had the Saudi on their radar?... And why were the tips from Saudi Arabia apparently ignored?" It charged that "German authorities usually only find out about attack plans in time when foreign services warn them" and called for sweeping reforms after the election for a complete "turnaround in internal security". Senior MP Dirk Wiese of Scholz's Social Democrats said the December 30 hearings will summon the heads of the BND, the domestic intelligence service BfV and the Office for Migration and Refugees. - 'Ultra-right conspiracy ideologies' - Media meanwhile reported more details on Abdulmohsen, who had worked at a clinic that treats offenders with substance addiction problems, but had been on sick leave since late October. Der Spiegel reported that in 2013 a court fined him for "disturbing the public peace by threatening to commit crimes" after he had darkly referenced the deadly attack on the Boston marathon. The chairwoman of the group Central Council of Ex-Muslims, Mina Ahadi, said Abdulmohsen "is no stranger to us, because he has been terrorising us for years". She labelled him "a psychopath who adheres to ultra-right conspiracy ideologies" and said he "doesn't just hate Muslims, but everyone who doesn't share his hatred." bur/fz/gv
Once a driving force behind the growth of the country’s economy, India’s middle class is struggling with a severe crisis. Saurabh Mukherjea, the founder of Marcellus Investment Managers, sounded a warning during his podcast with Bharatvarta when he said technological changes and automation are threatening the existence of middle-class jobs. “The middle class is coming under pressure, becoming a casualty of automation and technological change,” Mukherjea observed. The warning signs are all there. Sales of fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) and entry-level cars have fallen. Jobs in India’s IT service sector show no growth, nor has campus placement for engineers taken place. Automation and artificial intelligence (AI) threaten traditional jobs, mostly within clerical and supervisory levels. Mukherjea warned that unless meaningful strategies are devised, AI would become a critical “middle-class job killer” . Economic trends exacerbate the problem. Corporate earnings in Q2 FY25 recorded their steepest drop in 20 years, barring global crises like the 2008 financial meltdown. Meanwhile, household debt has surged, with net savings as a share of GDP plummeting to a 50-year low. RBI data indicates rising unsecured loans are tightening disposable incomes, leaving families financially vulnerable. Jobs for India’s middle-class will disappear, claims Wipro chairman The consumption patterns reflect the distress. Urban spending has slowed, with FMCG giants such as Nestlé India and Hindustan Unilever reporting reduced growth. Nestle MD Suresh Narayanan attributed this to a “shrinking middle class, ” while Hindustan Unilever CEO Rohit Jawa noted declining urban demand, especially in big cities. Wipro chairman added: “Some jobs will disappear”. The crisis is more economic and political. Mukherjea argued that electoral focus on underprivileged groups has relegated the middle class to an “orphaned child” of policy-making. Immediate action is required to mitigate the challenges. He pleaded for mission-mode initiatives for dealing with economic and technological threats. India’s middle class is at a juncture, where the future and stability are balanced.
