JUST IN: The Department of Homeland Security has announced that migrants seeking asylum will no longer be allowed to wait in the U.S. while their claims are pending in immigration court. The migrants will be processed by DHS and given a notice to appear in court.
According to DHS, the Mexican government will provide humanitarian visas, work authorization and other protections to the migrants while they wait in Mexico for the outcome of their asylum cases.
Currently, people claiming asylum are allowed to stay in the U.S. — sometimes in detention — while their claim is pending in immigration court. A new DHS policy will send such migrants to Mexico for the duration of that process.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi agreed to a deal that would likely give her the votes to become the next speaker of the House but only for a maximum of four years.
The agreement negotiated between Pelosi and a small group of House Democrats who vowed to oppose her during the floor vote needs to be approved by the full House Democratic Caucus, which is expected to vote early next year.
The deal limits terms for the top three leaders to three terms, including any they served when the Democrats had the House majority between 2007 and early 2011.

How Europe Raped Africa

The Conference of 1884–85, also known as the Congo Conference, regulated European colonization and trade in #Africa during the New Imperialism period and coincided with Germany's sudden emergence as an imperial power.
