His referencing of Biblical stories to condemn LGBTQ+ people is a common tactic, often used to justify discrimination and prejudice.… Continue reading

The lawsuits, filed by relatives of 9/11 victims, accuse Saudi Arabia of assisting the hijackers and funding charities that aided al-Qaida.

The US State Department has revoked over 6,000 international student visas due to violations of US law and overstays, with “assault, driving under the influence (DUI), burglary and “support for terrorism” cited as the most common violations.
